Not Cinderella

After the incident Vivian decided to go home, she could no longer hold tightness in her chest. He felt as if everyone rejected him, everyone wanted him to live a tormented life. If his mom and dad were still around, his life wouldn't be this bad. His feet continued to run no matter who had been hit on the run, only the sound of the curse continued to be heard in his ears. Her tears have not yet receded. His hair and body were all wet with Juan and his friends.

“Aghhhhhh.” She screamed in frustration and cried sobbing in a chair on the shoulder of the road. He cursed God to curse himself. He felt he hated his life.

An athletic young man saw Vivian in her wet high school uniform crying in her place. He rushed over to get to the girl.

“hei High School boy, it's school hours why are you wandering around like this?” ask the man.

“what's your business ha?” Vivian retorted so fiercely, due to the annoyance that was in her heart as if she had gotten an outlet for it.

“children today do not have ethics. Told even angry. Most also in a breakup.” I thought the man without a sound. Soon he left Vivian because he felt it was not important.

“why are people so happy to scold me?” vivian lirih.

The scorching sun in the summer is currently making Vivian clothes dry without waiting for a long time. He deliberately sat on the chair hoping to dry the clothes attached to his body after being quite dry, Vivian continued the journey back to her home, meaning her cousin Quen's house.

Ning.nong...

Vivian rang the bell available on the right side of the gate of the enormous house. It didn't take long for the gate to open on its own. In the courtyard of the house he saw his uncle's car had parked the sign they had returned.

“hah.” Vivian exhaled violently. He seemed to know what would happen next. His feet had just stepped on the porch floor, but the front door had been opened and a 35-year-old woman, but still very young, stood up to greet him.

Plaaac...

A slap of light hit his cheek. Vivian simply stroked the cheek while enduring the bitter and poignant slap she had gotten from her mother-in-law's sister-in-law.

“how dare you?” a thunderous voice then came out from the woman's mouth earlier. Without mercy now Vivian's hair is the target of anger, Vivian feels her hair as if it will be separated from her skin. His heart could only wonder what wrong he had done. While continuing to pull Vivian's hair, Melyana carries Vivian now by the pool on the right side of the house. How far away he was dragging his body. Upon arrival at the lip of the pool Melyana threw Vivian's body into the pool with a loud bang. Looks Vivian is trying to swim to the edge. Until finally he can reach the iron handle in the pool.

“ you really like swimming, don't you? Why don't you just swim again!” Melyana stepped on Vivian's holding hands until her hands were released and she returned to the water.

“how dare you play in the school pool when the lessons start ha? You think I paid for your school so you could play around there?” Melyana grew furious at Vivian. Melyana is a very disciplined person. He does not like to tolerate even the slightest mistake. Actually, he is a loving man. But, because of Quen's incitement which for several years always poisoned his mind, he was carried away by emotions every look at Vivian. Before Vivian returned home, Quen had already contacted her mother to make up the story.

“a..aku” has not finished Vivian finished her speech Melyana is now pulling violently Vivian's hand to get out of the pool and then pull her hand out of the house.

“from today I won't see you in my house, you just trouble me and my family. Your mother is my husband's sister but she is gone and we take care of you.you should know yourself and put yourself on the right track. Today get out of my house, if your uncle asks I will say that you do not want to stay here.” Imbuh Melyana so straightforward.

“if aunty kicked me out, where will I stay?” Vivian suddenly had her body tremble with cold and hunger which made her faint while she was running. He threw himself down and insisted on his aunt not to throw him out. But that's how Melyana's tough nature is hard to conquer. He did not care anymore about Vivian and immediately went into the house leaving Vivian who was still in her place. Even Melyana did not give clothes to Vivian when she kicked her out. Vivian felt it was pointless to keep quiet there, and she left immediately. Walk his feet step by step on the city streets.

“me where to go?” he asked himself in his heart. While both hands remove the sweat and then hold his stomach that had been turbulent asking in the contents. He dropped his body under the street lights. Sitting on the trunk of the tree that was also there. His eyes alternately caught the faces and vehicles passing in front of him. Not a few school children who looked at him with a look of disdain. Pandnagan was no longer concerned Vivian, she felt so wasted. There was no darkest day for him on appeal today. The day he really lost everything. The parents had no uncle and the aunt could no longer accept him. Until his eyes closed and I don't know when he began to lose consciousness.

“hei miss, wake up. Hey.” The heavy voice of a man trying to wake Vivian rang out loud in his ears. To make the girl awake and then blink both eyes and open them perfectly. Vivian looked at the man. Suddenly from both of his beads flowed clear circles that were getting more and more.

“are you going to kick me out of this uncle too?” asked Vivian on the sidelines of her cries.

“no, I just don't feel good seeing you in the eyes of people passing by if they act nasty how?” now he says it with a voice.

Without answering, Vivian simply spread her gaze across the crowded streets and then flowed to the man. Looked at him long and deep. Suddenly his body moved about to stand up and immediately stepped away without speaking.

“odd once she was.” The man muttered. Seeing Vivian who was getting farther away he stepped towards his car and drove her towards his house.

The afternoon is almost here. Mega red looks to fill the horizon. A girl in a high school uniform who is none other than Vivian is sitting by the beach. Many young and old couples who are also there enjoy the twilight that will almost be in the night grind. If the couples enjoy with joy, unlike the case with Vivian he had been hiding his face so that his tears are not visible. The beach was getting quieter, after the dense arrived the people by themselves disbanded. Only cafes are open and visitors are seen within 50 meters of the beach. Vivian was getting more agitated because her stomach was really hungry. His head was busy looking to the right and left to find something that might be a little stuck in his stomach. Not far from his seat he saw a small counter providing various snacks. Seen no visitors there. Doubtfully Vivian moved on and went to the counter she was referring to.

“excuse me.

Excuse me, excuse me,

Excuse um.

After calling three times no one had greeted him and came to see him. Vivianpun sighed with disappointment. There's no way he's going to the cafe while he doesn't have the money. Finally he decided to sit on the chair available in front of that counter.

In Melyana's mansion......

A happy family was eating dinner, Quen, Melyana and her uncle Vivian, Charles. They enjoy a good fancy dish. None of them asked for Vivian's whereabouts. As usual, they enjoyed dinner without the girl even when she was at home. Uncle Charles always thought Vivian had eaten first because sometimes Vivian helped Bi Nany to cook. While Melyana thought Vivian did not like to eat together because that was how Quen said whenever her mother told Quen to call Vivian. Vivian is reluctant to eat the table with them because Quen says her parents are not happy with Vivian.

“Vivian where mam?” quen asked, he was indeed curious not to see Vivian all day.

“mami don't know, she hasn't been home all day!” melyana was nervous.

“odd, not that Vivian has gone home first huh. I told mami.” Inner Quen.

“how do you not know Quen? He will go with you to school. Didn't you just go home with Vivian?” uncle Charles asked his son. Yes, uncle Charles always thought Vivian left and went home from school driving a car with Quen. But no, Vivian was always on foot when she got home and left. Although sometimes from their house together by car, Quen will drop Vivian off in the middle of the road and tell her to walk to school. Quen doesn't want his schoolmates to know that Vivian is his cousin.

“hmm, Quen did not know dad, this morning Vivian was in law because she was late to school. After that Quen did not see her again.” Quen hesitated.

“why late? Are you late too? How come you guys left together and then only Vivian was late?” uncle charles Charles

“ehmm, ta.tadi Quen did not leave with Vivian dad, Vivian was bad luck Quen had woken her but it was very difficult finally Quen first to school even without breakfast because of the time Quen wasted waking up Vivian. Quen was afraid of the law so Quen left Vivian. Forgive Quen dad,” Quen tried to convince his father with his story while putting on a sorry face.

A pair of ears that were busy hearing the conversation of his master was just twisting his forehead and shaking his head. Bi Nany knew very well every incident that happened in this house. Even when Madame Melyana threw Vivian in the pool when Mr. Charles was fast asleep because he was tired after a long trip.

“kasian miss.” Muttering bi Nany, both eyes glazed remembering Vivian who was out of nowhere.

Charles told his personal driver to rush to find Vivian all over the city, and anxiety was clearly visible on his face. Vivian has no one but herself. For that he is so dear and very worried about Vivian. But her busy life had blinded her eyes so much that she never knew how Vivian spent her day at home.
