"Was I been staying Papa okay ?" anne asked that afternoon when she gave the father a plate of mango.
Mr. Wijaya seemed to look at his daughter with a guilty feeling. "I'm sorry papa." he said later.
"No need to apologize Pa, it's all over. Now I just want Papa to be healthy and happy, tell Papa what I want to do for sure unless I make peace with Mama Kartika and Tasya it can't be Pa." timpal Anne while holding the skinny hand of the father, the hand that was once sturdy and able to pose a threat to his business relationship is now helpless again.
Maybe now his father is undergoing his karma for his actions against the mother who is willing to accompany him from zero, but after success in vain.
Cheating with her stepmother to make her mother depressed and ended up killing her own life.
After that, Anne's suffering began when her father brought the woman and stepson home. At that time he could only resign when the results of his parents' efforts were enjoyed by them.
But Anne believes that every good or bad action must have its own payoff, a few years later the father's company went bankrupt until they had nothing left but the house they currently live in.
Luxury home built with love by both parents, a lot of memories with his mother there and Anne promised whatever happened will keep him.
Actually his father could have sold it and bought it with a smaller house, but until now the middle-aged man still maintains it despite sometimes willing darkness because he can not afford electricity.
He believes his father has his own reasons even though the stepmother has seduced him in various ways to sell it.
"Papa regretted all this time having been unfair to you, son, Papa's eyes were blinded by the momentary love that Papa thought was forever" said Mr. Wijaya later.
"Don't mention Pa, at this time Papa should focus on Papa's healing. I'm gonna find the best doctor to cure Papa's pain." Anne clasped her father's hand so tightly, the hand that several times slapped her cheek as she fought the stepmother.
But Anne will not be vengeful, even though her father never gave her affection but she is grateful that the man is still willing to raise her and finance her school.
"How's your relationship with your husband, are you all right ?" ask the father later.
"We're fine Pa, he's busy with his business so can't come but when it's done it will definitely pick us up." said Anne reassured.
"We ?" mr. Wijaya looked cringing.
"Hm, I'm pregnant now Pa." Anne nodded lightly.
"So Papa will have a grandson ?" mr. Wijaya did not seem to believe but his eyes glazed over as well.
"Of course Pa." said Anne then hugged her father, the man was reluctant to embrace her now the fragile body returned his embrace no less tightly.
Uhmm
Suddenly someone throttled loudly to make the two let go of each other's embrace.
"Ck, too drama. I'm leaving because my son-in-law is taking us shopping again, take good care of the house and don't touch my expensive belongings and Tasya's." said the lady Kartika while standing arrogantly in the doorway of the father's room, after which the woman passed away.
"Women do not know themselves." grumbled Anne when she saw the departure of her stepmother, in the slightest there is no respect for the father who in fact is still her legal husband.
"Don't think too much." the father immediately calmed down.
"Since Papa fell bankrupt he always behaved arbitrarily, why not just divorce Papa ?" rut Anne was upset.
"Pardon Papa maybe that's the biggest mistake Papa made, Papa was too embezzled by his persuasion until that time agreed to his request." said Mr. Vijaya who immediately made Anne frown.
"I mean Papa ?" tanyanya.
"We have agreed that we will divide this house in two if one day divorced unless one of us cheated then we will get nothing. Forgive Papa Nak, that's why Papa let him do as he pleases in this house as long as we don't get divorced. It's not that Papa still loves him but that Papa doesn't want to lose your mother's memories in this house. Papa is really sorry to have wasted you first." Mr. Wijaya looks back in tears considering his stupidity.
"But it's not tied to Nak's heirs, I'm free to leave this house to anyone when I'm not around." added Mr. Wijaya again, then the man seemed to bend down slightly to open the safe inside the nightstand next to his bed.
Pressing some numbers until the safe opens and then removing the contents. "This take, this house Papa gave you but let Kartika stay here according to the agreement unless Papa is gone then the deal no longer applies" he said later.
Anne immediately took the documents that turned out to have been moved on her behalf, whether since when her father took care of her but she was grateful that her position would be stronger here.
Instantly a lot of ideas to prank his stepmother so as not to feel at home and go by itself.
And that afternoon when the house was quiet Anne called some handyman to fix the house, she would return the house as it was when her mother was there.
Replacing the house paint and replacing the photos of his mother and step-sister with some photos of his late mother and father who had been estranged in the warehouse for a long time.
Until the night the new artisans were done with their work and Anne was very satisfied with the results even her father seemed to shed tears as his past memories came back.
"I can finally sleep again in my room" said Anne when just renovating her room, the room that was in place by Tasya now has returned she occupied after years of her stepbrother's invasion.
The night was late and the lady of Kartika and Tasya had just returned home with a few bags of groceries in her hand.
Anne who was staring at them from the balcony of her room immediately went down, she wanted to see how they reacted with the change of her house.
Not in vain he hired 20 artisans to be able to make his house change in a few hours.
"Ma, is this really our house ?" tasya said when he saw the house paint had changed.
"Of course, honey, I don't know what the son of the unlucky bearer did." Mrs Kartika immediately entered her house and immediately her eyeballs almost escaped when she saw the whole house had changed.
"What the fuck is this ?" he shouted, he was like re-entering the house for the first time where there were so many belongings of his first wife.
"How, does Mama like it ?" timpal Anne went down the stairs.
"W-what are you doing in my room ?" tasya shouted considering that there were only two rooms of his and the other room is smaller he made storage of his goods that he rarely used.
"Your room ?" Anne immediately laughed loudly looking at her half-sister.
"Until now it's a room my mother lovingly made and now it's time I take what's rightfully mine." Anne stared at her sister for a moment.
"But I'm still your father's wife and that means I'm still in full power in this house." said Mrs Kartika.
"Powerful? Ck, your position is just hitchhiking here stepmother. Whatever happens, I'm in charge here." Anne said, pointing out a copy of the ownership of the house.
"You !!" Mrs Kartika immediately snatched the letter and tore it apart.
"Well, I want to sleep, if I still want to stay in my house, behave properly" said Anne as she passed up the stairs.
"Ma, how come I don't have a room anymore." lamented Tasya the spoiled child.
"You can sleep in your room first while we lay out a plan to drive the unlucky child from here." persuaded the lady Kartika and took her daughter to his room.
"I'm not sure your plan will work ?"
Anne, who was watching them from the top floor, was seen smiling sideways after seeing some messages sent by her man on her cell phone.
