Scratches of Wound in Fiona's Heart
The departure of Steven

Fiona looked as if she was standing staring at her closet with her hands constantly moving to pick out the clothes she wanted to use today. After getting the clothes that felt fit to be worn by him, he immediately replaced them.

Today, he decided to meet Steven in his mansion to solve their problems while thanking him.

“Where are you going?” Cindy immediately asked Fiona when she saw her coming down the stairs. “I have a moment's business, Brother.”

Fiona steps back, but is stopped by her mother. “Sit first.. Mama wants to talk.”

Fiona turned to her mother who had just come from the kitchen. They were all gathered in the living room at the moment.

“You must have known that this house belongs to Cindy at this time. He doesn't have to wait long for a legacy transition like you.”

“Iyaa Ma, Fiona knows.”

“Kalau begitu angkat kakimu dari rumah ini sekarang. Ini bukan tempat yang bisa kau tinggali seperti saat suamiku masih hidup.”

Fiona's eyes immediately widened. His hands shook when he heard his mother forcefully throw him out of the house. He could not understand why his mother hated him so much. Her mother's treatment has always been compared to her mother's treatment of her brother.

"Ma, don't be like that" Cindy said.

“Ma, am I not your son too? Why do you always treat me like anyone else. What's my fault Ma? Why would Mama throw me out of here?” fiona asked with a trembling voice. He tried to hold back his tears.

“What's your fault?” Fiona's mother's voice instantly rose. “You killed my husband. You took over all his wealth. I know, you must have planned everything, right?”

“Ma, stop. We should not discuss this issue,” Cindy said in a low voice.

“Good. I'll allow you to stay here, with some conditions.”

“What are the terms?” Ask Fiona impatiently.

“You must surrender your position in the company to Cindy.”

“But Ma.. Cindy doesn't understand anything about the company, Ma. All this time sister Cindy never want to deal with the company.”

“You don't overdo it. Your brother doesn't want to. He just wants to enjoy his youth. If he wants, he can easily take care of the company without your help.” Sarah seemed inflamed hearing Fiona belittling her beloved child.

“But Ma.. Brother cannot start learning from high positions. Brother has to start from the bottom just like I used to. Company's not a playground, Ma. Cindy has a lot to learn.”

“Plaaaaakk.” Sarah slapped Fiona hard.

Cindy's eyes immediately rounded with her mouth open. “How dare you say that about your Brother.” Sarah looked at Fiona with a lighted look.

Fiona holds her cheek which heats up due to a loud slap from her mother. He looked at his mother with a disappointed look.

Actually, he was used to the behavior of his mother who seemed to hate him. Her mother would only be nice to her if in front of her father, the rest of her mother would be indifferent and harsh to her.

“Ma.. Although I agree, it's not necessarily Cindy's capable." Fiona will not let her sister destroy the tempest her grandfather had built.

“Plaaak.” Fiona's mother slaps Fiona back. “That's a deserved punishment because you've demeaned your brother. You think your brother can't lead the company just because he's never worked.”

"Yetoo." Cindy is no less surprised to see her mother slap Fiona back.

"You shut up Cindy. Don't interfere" hardik Mery.

Fiona looked at her mother's nano who was standing to her right. All this time mom had never been nice to him and Cindy was silent and no longer dared to open her mouth. For some reason, Fiona couldn't understand why her mother hated her so much.

Once he thought, maybe he is not the son of his parents. But after asking his father directly. The suspicion turned out to be wrong.

Fiona looked at her mother with a disappointed look. “Ma... What was my fault all along? Why does my mom hate me so much? What I do is always wrong in my eyes. Am I a pick-up boy? So Mama treated me like someone else?” Fiona could not hold back her tears. He was very disappointed with his mother.

All this time he always succumbed to his brother at the request of his mother. Fiona never once refused her brother's request if Cindy asked him for something.

Fiona's monthly money is often given to her brother because she can't bear to see her brother complain because he runs out of money. Although Cindy did not ask for it but Fiona willingly gave it away.

he often asked his mother for money. Even Fiona's salary is rarely used. Fiona never once brought it up because she didn't think the money belonged to her sister either.

He thought that perhaps by obeying all his mother's requests, he would be loved by his mother as early as he was little he lacked affection.

His father was busy working, so he never knew the bad behavior of his mother from childhood until he grew up. Fiona also never told her father about her mother's behavior

“Maa.. Don't Ma.. I don't have a place to stay anymore, Ma.” Fiona tries to stop her mother from dragging her out. Fiona tried to rebel.

“Mama don't care.” Fiona's mother keeps dragging Fiona out.

Cindy followed her sister and mother. "Ma, let go of Ma. Poor Fiona, "persuade Cindy.

“Ma.. Alright. I'm going to hand over my post to Cindy.” Fiona's mother's steps immediately stopped.

He looked at Fiona. “Really?”

Fiona nodded. “Iya Ma. I'll ask Kenzo to take care of it.”

“Good. You should have agreed to it from the beginning.” Sarah immediately let go of Fiona's hand.

“Sorry Ma,” said Fiona in a slow tone.

Cindy looked at Fiona. "Fio, you don't have to give up your job to me if you have to" Cindy said.

Fiona looked at Cindy with a resigned face. "It's okay, Brother. I'll help you take care of the company."

“Come contact Kenzo,” command Mery with haughty tone.

“I'll meet him Ma directly today. I'm not free to talk on the phone.”

Actually it's just Fiona's weld to get out of the house. His mother would have banned him if she had known he was out to meet Steven.

“Go.” Sarah walked over with a face indifferently leaving Fiona still standing by the door.

****

Fiona drives her car to Steven's mansion. He drove his car fast. After passing the checkpoint, Fiona arrived in front of Steven's mansion. He walked straight to the door and knocked on the front door many times.

A few minutes later came the middle-aged woman Fiona knew. “Nona Fiona.” The middle-aged woman instantly recognized Fiona when the door had just opened. He is Bi Asih.

“Sorry to disturb Bi Asih, is Steven there, Bi?”

Fiona was actually not sure if Steven was in her mansion at the moment because he had come already noon. He thinks Steven must have gone to work. He was restrained from having to talk to his mother and brother.

“Sorry Miss, Mr. Steven does not exist. Since the departure of Nona Fiona, Mr. Steven never came back here again.” Steven rarely went home because he always lived in his parents' mansion.

“Bi, can Bibi contact Steven and pass my message to Steven,” Fiona said expectantly. He has no way to contact Steven anymore, other than to ask Steve's housekeeper for help because he doesn't have Steven's cell phone number.

“What message Miss?” ask Bi Asih politely.

“Please tell him that I'll be here again later tonight,” pinta Fiona.

“Good Miss. I'll call Mr. Steven's assistant first. Wait a minute, Miss.”

“Iyaa, Bi.” Bi Asih went straight inside.

A few minutes later, the Asih came back. “Sorry Nona Fiona, Mr. Steven is currently overseas.”

Fiona was a little surprised to hear that. Steven didn't talk to him about his departure. “About when Steven gets back, Bi?”

“Possibly Mr. Steven will stay there for a year,” Bi Asih replied.

“How long ago, Bi?” fiona asked with a surprised face.

“I also don't know, Nona.”

Steve, why did you leave without telling me first? Are you so mad at me for the trouble of that time?

Fiona let out a long breath. He regretted not meeting Steven before he left. He hasn't even apologized to Steven and hasn't cleared up their misunderstanding.

Seriate...
