Weeby's throat felt very dry, so she decided to get out of bed and go to the kitchen to get a glass of water. Descending the stairs with limp footsteps, Weeby finally reached her destination.
Picking up the empty glass, she moved towards the dispenser. It wasn't long before the empty glass was filled with water. A second after that, Weeby quickly downed it until there was not a drop left. She was really thirsty.
As soon as her throat felt better, Weeby immediately put the glass on the table, and proceeded to rush back to her room, she was still sleepy.
Weeby's little feet suddenly stopped, she froze and swallowed her saliva bitterly. Her entire gaze was directed at her father, who walked towards her with a super sharp gaze.
Suddenly, Weeby felt like her breath was short, the air around her seemed to vanish into thin air. Not only that, the rhythmic pounding of Weeby's heart seemed out of rhythm.
"Make some hot tea and two and a half spoonfuls of sugar," Andika ordered firmly, without any softness in his words. Weeby could only nod, agreeing that his request was better than being told to take medicine. But in reality, Weeby was still taking all sorts of drugs for who knows what.
Andika then turned around, strutting casually towards the sofa in the living room. After her father's departure, Weeby's breathing spontaneously returned to normal, but she still felt a bit of shock. Weeby was afraid to be around the middle-aged man.
Weeby quickly took a glass and filled it with two and a half spoons of sugar, just as Andika had instructed. After that, Weeby added some tea powder, and in the next second, Weeby's hand stretched out and ended up in a thermos. Weeby deftly poured the hot water that slid from the small thermos.
The hot tea was already made in such a way, and it was a sign that Weeby should immediately deliver it to the front sofa, where her father was sitting. Before stepping away, Weeby closed her eyes for a while, relaxing her breathing while calming her heart from beating too fast.
Once she felt it was enough, Weeby started cramming her footsteps, her small hands used to hold a cup of her homemade specialty tea.
"Dad, I'm going to the room, okay?" Weeby spoke carefully after placing her cup of tea on the table.
Andika took down the newspaper, placed it on the table, and proceeded to sip some of Weeby's tea. The next second, Andika looked up, staring at Weeby with a flat face. Being stared at like that made Weeby feel immediately clumsy and limp. She limped because her muscles were instantly not working. Truly, Andika's gaze was deadly. Weeby could not linger like this.
"Wait a minute," prevented the man, who was still wearing his office clothes. Weeby only obeyed, ears wide, listening to what her father had to say.
As usual, Andika reached into his pants pocket and took out a small bottle from there. Weeby rounded her eyes slightly, now it wasn't just one bottle, but there was another one. How could Weeby not be shocked when she saw that? Until now, Weeby still didn't know what her father's motive was for telling her to swallow all those little things.
"Drink it tonight, it should be gone in three days!" Andika spoke with a heavy voice, placing the small bottle on the table.
Swallowing her saliva bitterly, Weeby looked at Andika listlessly. "Yesterday's medicine hasn't run out yet either," Weeby replied in the end, she couldn't stand it anymore, and it was the only way to respond to his words that Weeby could do.
"I don't want to know, just have to finish it in three days."
"But it's two bottles, how can I afford it?" Weeby's voice seemed to sound sad, the longer she sobbed softly. Her father was really cruel to her.
"There's no argument, you want to be a disobedient child to your parents, huh?"
Andika's patience was a little stretched, he got angry instantly. Moreover, seeing Weeby cry made him even more furious.
"Go to your room!" Andika snapped in a sarcastic voice, his hand flying in the air, pointing at Weeby's room upstairs.
"Why are you so mean to me? Why do you always tell me to take medicine? Why should?!"
Not knowing where the courage came from that Weeby wasn't afraid to speak like that to Andika, she was still in tears, looking at Andika with a face covered in tears.
"Because you made Dad's new wife die!"
Weeby's heart suddenly hurt, she was shocked to hear her father's words. Weeby's tears broke even more. Andika's words really hit her heart. Now Weeby knew why her father told her to take medicine. It was done by the middle-aged man arbitrarily to avenge the death of Raisa, his new wife, and Weeby's stepmother.
"Why weren't you like this when mom died? Why did you hate me this time when your new wife died?!"
Weeby covered her face with both palms, crying her heart out. The suffering she was going through was really tough. Weeby couldn't understand why her father would take revenge on her, why he would vent his frustration on her. If Andika had previously said that Weeby caused Raisa to die, that was untrue.
"Enough! Now you go to your room!"
Andika was furious, his body was already hardened, his mouth was already grumbling, and he was looking at Weeby with a fierce expression.
Unwilling to comply, Weeby still stayed where she was. Now she returned her father's gaze, and the next second, Weeby said, "Why do you have to be like this with me? Do you not love me anymore?"
"Because you made Raisa die, I don't love you anymore since that incident!" said the middle-aged man firmly.
For the umpteenth time, Weeby's tears fell relentlessly out of her puffy eyes, sliding so smoothly that they formed a sizable puddle on both cheeks.
Weeby finally chose to walk away, stamping her feet in Andika's presence, and she ran straight to her room.
When Weeby heard her father's words that he didn't love her anymore, it made her hurt, her chest was tight. Why was that man so cruel to her? If it ended up like this, Weeby would rather not be saved by Raisa at that time from the car that was about to hit her. Yes, it was better than feeling pain every day.
At the time of the incident, Andika had already cultivated hatred and intended to take revenge on his daughter, Weeby. It was Weeby who caused Raisa, his second wife, to die.
Locking the door tightly, Weeby became more and more lost in crying. Suddenly, she became weak, her legs could no longer hold her, and she fell to the floor.
The next day, Weeby's eyes still looked puffy because she hadn't slept last night. She was crying because she already knew why her father told her to keep taking medicine. And, of course, Weeby was sick of hearing it.
Weeby's small footsteps spontaneously stopped in front of her classroom door, neutralizing her heartbeat, and not long after she let out her breath slowly.
Early in the morning like this, Weeby's tail was immediately presented with an unfortunate sight. Weeby reflexively rolled her eyes lazily as she caught Marcell feeding bread to Resti.
A happy glow covered every corner of both of their faces, unlike Weeby, who was still gloomy and looked very lethargic. Taking her seat slowly, Weeby placed her backpack on the table.
"By, why is your face so wrinkled, have you been crying?" asked Uti, she looked at Weeby closely, slightly bringing her face closer to Weeby's face.
Weeby just shook her head, she was lying. She did not want to tell the truth. Her gaze was still focused on the table in front of her. Her mind was still in turmoil, and Weeby didn't want to be disturbed. However, Weeby did not feel comfortable saying that to Uti, she did not want her classmate to be hurt when she heard it. It was better for Weeby to keep quiet.
"You're hurt, aren't you?" teased Uti with her trademark grin, as she then gave Weeby a quick peck on the cheek.
"No, Ti. I'm fine." Weeby replied weakly, then returned to her reverie.
"I don't believe you, you must be hurt because Marcell and Resti are already engaged, right?"
Weeby immediately formed her eyes into wide, almost spherical circles, looking up quickly and staring at Uti with a face full of questions. Uti could only frown at Weeby's strange expression.
"Weeby, what's wrong with you? How do you look so surprised? Did you miss the latest gossip?"
Ignoring Uti's words, Weeby was busy struggling with her thoughts. Uti's words just now really touched his heart.
"By, why are you even staring?!" Uti was already annoyed, nudging Weeby's hand with her elbow. Weeby immediately looked back at Uti with a flat face.
"Since when are these two dating?" Weeby looked at Uti intently.
"I don't know, but I just heard the rumor this morning."
Weeby was thinking again, she remembered the moment when she saw Marcell feeding Resti with bread a few moments ago. Weeby suddenly felt uneasy, like she was not willing to let that happen. Weeby looked back, and when her gaze was fixed on Marcell, Weeby could only sigh, letting out her breath in frustration.
"Why are they dating anyway?!" Weeby spontaneously cried, folding her hands in front of her chest.
"Are you mad at them? Are you jealous?" Uti teased, elbowing Weeby's arm again.
"Who's jealous anyway?!" said Weeby firmly, her teeth already chattering, holding back her anger.
"There's no need to get so emotional, and if you're not jealous, why are you shouting? You're so weird," Uti sneered, looking at Weeby, who was still pouting, repeatedly, Uti noticed Weeby, who always turned her head towards Marcell's bench. Sighing lightly, Uti just shook her head.
Weeby was still silent, thinking about Marcell's relationship with Resti. Her mind was in turmoil. Weeby's face instantly became serious, as she lifted her body from the back of the chair, and rounded her eyes wide.
Once again, Weeby looked back, this time it took less than two seconds for her to return to her original position. For some reason, Weeby's heart was racing as she realized one thing. One thing that made Weeby think hard was that Marcell should not date Resti.
Resti was a girl who was no longer a virgin, especially since she was pregnant. Weeby didn't want Marcell to get caught up in Resti's life. Marcell cannot claim that the baby inside Resti's womb is his. Weeby had to take further action, before it was too late.
Weeby didn't want Marcell to be responsible for Resti's pregnancy, the boy had done nothing wrong. All the great possibilities were now attacking Weeby's mind with a vengeance. Now Weeby could only plan for Marcell to break up with Resti. She would do whatever it took.
"Weeby, why are you daydreaming, I've called you earlier too," Uti grumbled irritably, pursing her lips forward.
"Eh?" Weeby instantly snapped out of her reverie, staring at Uti with bulging eyes. Uti was just interrupting her work, not knowing that Weeby was deep in thought.
Laughing loudly, Marcell tickled Resti's belly furiously and repeatedly, but Resti rebelled, dodging Marcell's blind tickling attack.
"Marcell, that's it. I'm ticklish," Resti said, still trying to shake off Marcell's increasingly mischievous hands.
"I don't want to, I'm happy," Marcell replies, his hands getting more agile in Resti's stomach.
The two of them are now the center of attention in the class, and Marcell and Resti are not even bothered. They were laughing loudly, as if the world only belonged to the two lovers.
From her seat, Weeby could only sneer, looking displeased with Marcell, who was so cool with Resti. Unlike when the boy was with Weeby, it was certain that Marcell would turn into an annoying beast.
"See, they're so compatible, how can I be jealous?" Uti squealed hysterically, twisting her thin lips as she pranced excitedly with her eyes still fixed on Resti and Marcell.
"They don't get along. One more time you say that, I'm going to stitch your lips." Weeby sarcastically glared at Uti, pointing her finger right at Uti's eye.
Uti narrowed her eyes, she was one hundred percent sure that Weeby was jealous of Marcell. "Ah, all you have to do is say you're jealous, I'm surprised at you." Uti folded her hands, a second later, she shook her head in a quick motion.
Weeby regretted that Marcell had fallen under the spell of Resti's beauty so easily. Weeby wanted to admit that Resti was no less beautiful than the top celebrities who often appeared on television.
Resti is pregnant, and it's all because of Gama, her former and now ex-boyfriend.
Weeby will make sure that Resti doesn't accuse Marcell and hold her responsible for her pregnancy. Yes, Weeby will try until it works, she can't just give up. Even though Marcell was very annoying at times, Weeby still couldn't bear it if all that happened to that boy.
Weeby chose to get up from her seat, turned to Uti, and excused herself to go to the back garden. She wanted to calm her heart and mind. After Uti nodded in agreement, Weeby hurried away, cramming her footsteps together.
