MARRIED BRONDONG
Self-worth

That morning I was surprised to see that Hera had started teaching again.

Hera looked at him cynically as the two passed by.

"You must be happy, right, because you've seen me as broken as I am now?" said Hera

"If you ask me I'm happy to see you suffer of course I'm happy, especially after what you did to me" replied L

"You need to take note of L, since you've made me lose all my possessions and my son's, then I'll make sure you feel what I feel, too,"

Laila laughed listening to Hera's complaint.

"You lost all your possessions and your child because you were not because of me, but you were living your karma" said L and then left Hera

"Just look at you L, I'll make sure you don't live happily because it's making me suffer" Hera then immediately walked into her room

Sean was waiting for him there.

"If you're in my room there's got to be some very important business, right?" ask Hera

"If you understand, you better sit down and listen to what I say" Sean said

"Say,"

Hera immediately put her briefcase on the table and sat down in her chair.

"You know this school is an international school that emphasizes quality not quantity. After I thought carefully and also at the request of the parents of the students, I was forced to not be able to extend your employment contract" said Sean

"Well, you're really a narrow-minded teacher, Sean, you said you only put quality first, but the truth is you're throwing out quality teachers just because of my personal problems. If you want our school to go forward, this is not the way. You should still maintain quality educators regardless of the status or personal problems of the person concerned" replied Hera

"Yes I understand, but we live in Indonesia Ra, not abroad. The principle only applies abroad where in fact the population has a higher education and also open mind. But you know in Indonesia everyone sees us not from our ability but from our social status and also our track record in society. I know you're a competent teacher, but everyone now only knows you're an ex-convict, you're also labeled as an actor, well that's what makes them not want their children to be taught by you anymore" Sean denied

"Cih, so you also agreed to their request to fire me, why are you doing this to me Sean. You don't know how my life is right now, if I also stop teaching here then I'm completely ruined now" Hera replied

"You can still teach at your parents' school so it's fine for you to lose your job here,"

"You're really outrageous Sean," Hera immediately rushed to pick up her little bag and left her study.

Hera stopped her steps when she saw L was teaching her class. The woman immediately tightened her hands while taking out her curse for the woman.

"Just wait for my revenge L,"

**********

That night Hera was completely drunk, she deliberately spilled all her anger in a bar with loud drinks.

"Bas a jerk, you could have fired me when you knew who I was, all this time I've been helping you a lot, but you've thrown me away,"

A young woman suddenly came to Hera.

"Well, once a Queen's college is in a bar, aren't you afraid your family's good name will be tainted?" seductive woman

Hera smiled cynically looking at the beautiful woman before her.

"Rose, now you have to be careful, because in my house there is a woman who is pretentious trying to win the heart of your son and ex-husband" Hera said laughing at the woman

"So your words yes, do not be careless when talking, basic jal*ng!" sahut Roses

"If you don't believe just look at it yourself, surely now your only child is no longer willing to see you, right??"

"What I don't know in Aaron's family, everything I know. You forget that I'm still part of that family" Hera replied, then sipped her glass of wine

"All right then I'll check it out myself!" sahut Roses

The woman immediately left Hera.

The next day the Rose came to visit her son.

The woman was completely shocked when she saw Devan's closeness to L.

It was true what Hera said.

"Devan, mama's coming, baby!" exclaimed the woman as she arrived in front of Devan's room

Devan immediately closed the door to his room and forbade the Rose from entering.

Seeing the rejection of his son Rose became even more furious. He then told Silvia what Devan had done to her.

Namun bukannya membelanya Silvia justru menasihati Mawar agar sabar menghadapi putranya.

"He needs time to get close to you again, his heart is already hurting when he learns of your divorce. You'd better slow him down and don't push him too hard to accept you again like he used to,"

"But this all started after the teacher's presence, before Dev still wanted to meet me even we still communicate often. But ever since that woman's presence Dev has completely shunned me and won't take my calls" replied Rose

"I'm sure she must have deliberately distanced me from Dev so she could get close to him, because she was trying to get Sean's heart, _" Roses said

"Don't be defamatory, I'm not that kind of woman, she's an educated and well-mannered woman so it's impossible that she would do such things" Silvia denied

"If you don't believe me, just look at Sean's change of attitude" challenged Rose

"I know my son, there's no way he's going to do things that tarnish the family's good name" Silvia replied

That afternoon Sean volunteered to drive L home when he saw the woman coming out of his son's room.

"Don't bother sir, I can go home by myself" L refused when Sean offered him a ride

"But it'll be safer if you come home with me, won't it?" sternly Sean

"It's true, but I just don't want to trouble you" said L

"I don't bother, I'm free now anyway so I have plenty of time to drive you home" Sean pulled L's arm and took him in his car

Silvia who was looking at them from a distance looked anxious. However, he does not want Sean to be close to L.

"It seems the word rose has a point as well, L secretly began to take my son's heart,"

The next day Silvia immediately called L before she taught Devan.

Without further ado The woman gave L a brown envelope.

"Open up" Silvia said with a serious face

I immediately opened it, he was so shocked when he saw the contents of the envelope.

"I'm very grateful to you for making my granddaughter able to read and count. You also made him get the best grades in school. But unfortunately I have to break our contract, because I don't want you getting close to my son Sean. All this time I've hired you in this house as Devan's tutor not to approach my son. So apologize for this inconvenience. But don't worry, I'm still paying your full salary this month even if you've only been teaching for a few days. I've also added a bonus to your success in teaching my grandchildren" Silvia said

"I'm sorry my mother couldn't accept this money, not because I refused sustenance but because I wasn't who I was accused of. If you want to fire me I don't mind and I'll take it for granted because that's your right. But do not accept your accusation that says if I try to approach your son, even though I am a widow but abstain for me to approach my opposite sex first. As an easterner I still uphold the custom, so I can be sure if I don't get close to your son and it'll never happen," l replied then hurried away without taking the brown envelope that Silvia had prepared
