TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT
The Beginning of a New Step
The streets of the city look crowded, it's time for mothers to take their sons and daughters to school.
Except for jae-sung, he just stared from the gate. See how Alyana drove her daughter nin-ya to the school bus.
Alyana: heart - heart yes son, study diligently. I've prepared an apple for your lunch... 😊
Nin-ya: well ma'am, I left first (board the bus)
Alyana: take care, take good care of yourself!!
Shouted alyana, on the bus that started walking away from the place.
"excuse me"
A man in his 40s, with brown skin due to frequent sunburn and tired face came to alyana.
Alyana: you??? What are you doing here? Didn't I pay my rent last week?
Tenant: that's true, but I didn't come to see you
Alyana : then?
Tenant: I came to find faila, because since yesterday her house is locked. And from what I know, he likes to leave his brother Jae-sung with you
Hearing his name, Jae-sung immediately runs into the house.
Alyana: you see!! No kaka his or her sister both want to run away from you!
The man just sighed and continued his question.
Tenant: so, did you see the faila or know where it is?
Alyana: do I look like I don't have a job? Do I look like the tail? Until everyone asks me where she is?
Tenant: why turn around? Just answer you know what not?
Alyana: no!!!! If yes then I would have thrown that little burden on her! Who is he! Asking me to look after the kid all night!!! His money alone was not even enough to pay for his sister's meal!!!
The tenant looked tired of hearing the rant, alyana. But when he thought he was leaving, suddenly he saw the arrival of faila who ran hastily towards the two.
Faila: sorry, I made you all wait...
Faila tried to regulate her breathing first. When the Tenant said
Tenant: faila, it's been 3 months and you'll know the deal. I won't give you more time than this... My wife is so angry and thinks that's not - not just because I feel sorry for you...
Alyana: oh my god!!! Why are you so brave? Didn't you see? He even, almost fainted ? Can't you wait!!!
Alyana helps to pick up the faila and allows her to sit in the front seat of the house.
Jae-sung, who has been peeping since the window of the house, runs inside, fetches a glass of water and gives it to his older brother.
Faila: thank you dear
Faila took the glass and drank it.
Faila : faila... Where have you been? Your sister really makes me nervous, you know last night she made me cook so much... He ate all of it so voraciously, that there was almost nothing left for me and nin-ya...
Tenant: faila, I've decided. You better get out of my place, I don't want to fight anymore because of you
Alyana: hey!! Why'd you cut my talk, and why just talk about money and money didn't you see she just arrived?
Tenant: "when he himself is the same, but pretend in front of him" the inner Tenant
Alyana: already faila, we better go in and talk inside.
Alyana clenches Faila's hand, but faila holds her back.
Faila: no kaka, I want to finish my business with her first...
Alyana : huh???
Faila opened her bag, and the sight of several money bindings made Alyana so shocked and in disbelief.
Alyana: "my god, where did he get that kind of money?? Did he just rob" inner alyana
Faila: how much is the debt?
Tenant: 6 million for 3 months
Faila took out 1 tie of her money, and gave her to the Tenant.
Tenant: this???
Faila: 10 million, I not only pay my debt but also rent for the next few months...
Obviously faila to him, holding the money as if in disbelief. A wide smile graced the man's face, he looked at the faila while saying.
Tenant: my wife will definitely be very happy, she will not complain anymore about this 😁
Faila smiled at the words of the Tenant.
Tenant: but faila?
Faila: yes sir
Tenant: how did you get so much money? It's not been a week before the last time I won you?
Hearing those words made faila speechless a thousand languages, the shadow of that night and her self in the mirror seemed to haunt her mind.
Tenant: have you got a job? But it hasn't been a month, has it, then what about you?
Hearing those questions made her even more nervous and confused.
Alyana: why do you ask so many questions???
Alyana jerk to the Tenant
Alyana: you got the money, right, then go!! Why continue to shower her with questions? What are you a reporter for??
Tenant: I'm just asking, 'cause I care about her
Alyana: care - care, the only thing you care about is money. Go there already!! People just came home wondering!!
Alyana brings a faila in and asks Jae-sung to close the door of her house, she sits alyana in the living room and sees how faila is so anxious because of the questions.
Alyana: why do you keep thinking about that person's words? He doesn't know what, he just talks...
All the thoughts of the night were still overshadowing her, her body was trembling and she felt so frightened.
Alyana: faila are you okay?
In his confusion and uncertainty, suddenly faila felt someone grasping his hand and calling gently.
Sung-sung: kaka...
Instantly all the shadows disappeared from his mind.
Jae-sung: are you okay?
Faila: Jae-sung
He hugged his sister very tightly.
Jae-sung: kaka, why do you look shaky and pale? Are you sick?
Faila kissed her sister's cheek and stared at her affectionately.
Faila: no dear, I'm fine. Kaka just missed you so much 😊
Seeing the faila's attitude, Alyana started to put her suspicions on him.
Alyana: "it is not certain that there is something, otherwise she will not be as scared as before" inner alyana
File: kaka
Faila's call dispels alyana's doubts .
Alyana: yes, faila
Faila took out some of her 1 jt bills and gave them to Alyana.
Faila: this is for kaka
Alyana: oh god faila, this is very much (receiving the money)
Faila: I have not been able to pay for kaka services. All this help means so much to me...
Alyana: you're too much, remember I'm your kaka. It's only natural that I help you
Faila smiles at the words, as Jae-sung says
Jae-sung, I'm hungry
Hearing those words, faila looked directly at Alyana
Alyana: aaaa earlier that I was very busy preparing nin-ya for school, therefore I velum cooking... When I'm going to cook the tenant comes, I'm going to cook now. You haven't eaten either, have you?
Faila: no kaka, thank you...
Alyana eating faila
Faila: I'm just here to pick her up, thanks for helping me....
Faila took his sister's hand and said goodbye from there. Not far from the residential neighborhood, there is a cafe with an elegant design.
Faila always passed her when she was going home but today, she brought her sister to eat there for the first time .
Jae-sung : this wahhhhhhh a lot of 'em....
Jae-sung's eyes sparkle - a twinkle gazing at all the food, saliva has filled his mouth.
Jae-sung: are we really able to eat it all? Are we not going to be scolded?
Faila laughed at the innocent words of her sister.
Faila : why would anyone be angry all of it is prepared for us 😊 let's try you eat...
Jae-sung instantly takes the nearest meal and devours her, his face so elated. It's been all night, he's endured hunger but now it's all paid off.
Faila: is it delicious?
Jae-sung : this is very amazing 😁
Jae-sung speaks with his mouth full, and gives his thumb mark. Faila continued to smile at her sister, but when she saw the window, across she saw children her sister's age leaving school.
Faila fell silent thinking about the fate of her sister, who was unable to attend school due to the cost.
Faila: "mom, I still have a lot to do for jae's future. Poverty has taken many opportunities from us. The thing that has happened to me, will not I let jae feel his inner faila"
Jae-sung smilingly looks at Faila in the middle of his meal time.
Faila: "that man is telling the truth, if I stop here I will lose everything. No, I have to reach the top for Jae-sung's future"
