Just getting home from school, Candice has gotten a hard slap from Luciana—her birth mother—until her cheeks turn red. But as a strong girl, she was completely unaffected by the pain of the slap. There is not a single word of pain. His reaction to his mother's attitude was clearly visible on his familiar face. Angry and lazy reactions.
"Had Mom said, don't follow the brawl again! Your homeroom teacher called Mom again. And now the news of the brawl is appearing on television. Candice, don't embarrass me again, son! I work hard from morning until morning again, so you can stay in school, why is your behavior even more like that, anyway?!" lusiana's nagging is so upset.
Candice blinks her tongue without making a sound. Even after that he immediately forced his way into the minimalist second-floor house that he lived with his mother. All his mother's speech went into the right ear out the left ear. For Candice, there is nothing more important than immediately stepping into the room and laying down.
"Candice! Once again you step up and do not want to listen to Mom, do not expect Mother will love you pocket money again, son!" threaten Susiana who has twisted her body to look at her naughty daughter.
Candice grits her teeth and then turns around again. He looked at his mother very hard. "Mom don't have any money for me? Does Old Om already love Mom dating tips again? Are you no longer in her taste?" reply asked.
Luciana swallowed the saliva, as her pair of eyes were twitching now. Always like this. His son could not accept the fact that he was in a relationship with an old man. Well, it's only natural. Because the old man was married. And that fact is what makes Luciana unable to immediately quibble. He was quite embarrassed and knew himself. However, on the other hand, he could not end the relationship that he had started since one year ago.
Without the old man, maybe Luciana would not be able to send Candice to high school. Especially today, finding a job for him who is thirty-eight years old is very difficult. Lastly he worked as a staff in a small company, but then instead in-PHK because of the pandemic. Luckily, her face was still beautiful so it was not difficult for her to attract the interest of the rich old man, whom she met at the bar.
"Don't be rude to Mom, Candice. I had to do that for you! I had to lose my self-esteem, all for you!" luiana.
Candice grins. "Then, Mother must also accept the fact that the child that Mother raised with money from the Old Bangka man's husband, became a dissident girl as well as naughty! This is the result of Mom's dirty work!" peppered. "Easy! Noisy knows! I'mtired. If you do not want to give pocket money, yes already! I can nyopet! Easy, isn't it?! All right, Mom just let me out of school, so you can enjoy the ill-gotten money that old jackfruit gave me alone!"
Candice sizzles, then curses slowly. With that brash attitude, he ignored his mother who gave such a miserable reaction. But Candice doesn't care. He already hates anything in this house, even including his mother who made the foolish decision to date a man in his fifties who still has a wife and three adult children. Unfortunately, at the same time, he could not leave the house because behind his hatred, he still loved his mother.
I don't know. Candice felt her life was too flawed to be fixed. In his childhood, he was bullied because he did not have a father at once because he had a different level with local residents. Her hair was blond, her eyes were turquoise, and her skin was considered too white. At the time, it was considered strange. Although most people now judge her as very beautiful, due to trauma from childhood, she still cannot accept herself well.
In addition, the man who Candice knew named Ferguz Louse, as her biological father instead ran away after marrying his mother who at that time pregnant himself at a fairly young age. Fatiguing. Candice felt like she was dying unwillingly.
Susiana is now sitting on one of the chairs on the sofa of her living room. He pressed his dizzy forehead. So tired. And tonight he has to come to his meeting with Tony Dharmendra, his old lover.
"If you hadn't run away, Fer! I'm not gonna end up like this, damn it! Ugh.." - ...." Lusiana lamented, blaming her ex-husband for going nowhere. Even before Ferguz left, there was no divorce from the man. I don't know what and why. Until the man who came from England was to leave Susiana who was six months pregnant.
Could it be that at that time, Ferguz only used Luciana to build a business in Indonesia? Then when it failed, Ferguz immediately decided to disappear?
"I have no pity on your son, Ferguz!"
Meanwhile, Candice sat down grimly on her bed. He felt empty when he was home. There is no warmth, there is only anger. It's better to be outside, but not at school. On the side of the road, making noise, and the crowd he can get.
"It sucks!" candice said upset. "Should I burn down one of the people's houses to make it more fun?"
"Aaaah! Damnit damnit! I hate it, why is there a law in this world?!" peekik Candice is upset. "And why should there be such a thing as man? I can't even accept that I'm human. Why wasn't I just born an alien, huh?!"
In the next instant, the girl who would soon be seventeen years old immediately laid her body on her full black bed without deigning to change clothes first. He looked at the ceiling of his room. Thinking about why her teenage years have felt so exhausting. Why, anyway, was he not aborted when Luciana was abandoned by Ferguz? Had he never been born, would not his mother have never suffered so much today? His mother also did not have to be the mistress of an elderly man, and would never work hard until it was difficult to be met by anyone including himself.
"Ck, so hot! I don't want to live anymore, but I'm afraid to die too. How's dooong?! And why did the Songong Class Guardian even call Mom to try? He didn't heed my threats, did he? Just watch!"
Candice cursed several times while hitting her own bed. Ah, not a foreign thing anymore his house does make it more chaotic. There was no place to go home that was fun, the streets made him smile more calmly.
