Forced to Be Stepmom
The Warmth of the Radit Family

Lathan and Lili have returned from the mall after a day of accompanying Andra shopping. They both looked limp with an annoyed face.

"Battle!"

Lili shouted as soon as she saw Radit who had arrived home

"You guys just got back? Why are your faces tangled like that?" Radit asked Lathan and Lili with a sweet smile on his lips. He immediately greeted his little daughter who ran towards him while Lathan and Andra immediately sat on the sofa.

"Mommy is very old. Atu and Tata were waiting for the mami to be a botanist". Lili complained to her father about Andra.

"Then what are you and Lathan doing while waiting for Mami?". Radit asked in a gentle tone to Lili.

"That's matan esclim tengan tata. Lata toklat tan tlobeli" Lili replied with a lisp and adorable.

Lathan who heard it instantly stared intently at Lili with a mouth grumbling silently.

"You ate two ice cream? Lathan ... Why did you buy so much ice cream for your sister?".

Andra who heard Lili's story immediately asked Lathan with a cold tone and a cynical look in the eyes.

"Douh .. My body feels itchy all. I'm gonna go take a shower first". Lathan who was not ready to hear the scolding from Andra instantly left Radit and Andra with a slight run.

"Tabul Pih" said Lili while pointing at Lathan who was getting further away

"Just let Lathan take a shower. His body had smelled because all day accompanied the two of you" Radit spoke as he touched the tip of Lili's nose nodding his head while smiling in response to Radit's words

Meanwhile, in Ardhan's room.

Ardhan is busy with ‘schoolwork’ he has.He stares at the computer screen without blinking and reads every word written there.

“Why so much like this? I'm a junior high student, but what I read is the school's financial statements. This could be very viral news if someone knows that a student broke into a computer at his own school” muttered Ardhan who spoke to himself while continuing to read what was written on a computer screen.

Trings

Ardhan immediately turned to his phone in front of him as a message entered his phone.

Ardhan, you're not going to quit school because of yesterday's school, are you? Remember that you are only new students and they are seniors who have power in school. Their parents had little contribution in school finances. So it's only natural that they bully us a little bit in orientation. But if indeed you decide to change schools, then I will not hold you”

 Ardhan sneered as he read the message

“Cih. They're arrogant because they don't know who I am. Moving schools because of them? No way! The school also only favors the child of the family who provides greater financial assistance to the school. Justjust look. I'll give you a little surprise for you guys”

The flash back

Ardhan School

“Hei! New student! Here you are!”.

A senior called out to Ardhan in a proud manner while he was having lunch at the school.

“What's up, Brother? You guys called me?” Ardhan approached and responded with a cold and indifferent attitude.

“You must be polite to us. We are your senior and we want you .. eat this and let nothing remain”.

One of the disciples put a spoonful of salt for the bird on top of Ardhan's food

“Why should I eat that? You can try the taste yourself after added with salam”.

Ardhan who was previously indifferent, now looked at the four seniors with a cold gaze. He continued to stare at the smiling seniors as he bully Ardhan.

“This is your lunch. The school could get angry if there was food left. So you have to spend it or we will report it to school”

Ardhan's forehead wrinkled as he looked at the seniors who were laughing at him.

“You want to report me for what you caused? Just try. I'm not wrong, so it's definitely not going to be treated like what you guys say” said Ardhan confidently.

“Good. Let's just see”. The senior looked back and forth and smiled when he saw a male teacher.

“Pak teacher! Please come!”. The teacher approached him after being called

“What is this? Why are you gathering like this? Not eat” said the teacher with a cold attitude while looking around him.

“I don't want to eat anymore because the food is salty. If you want, just spend it!”. Ardhan also thrust his plate at the senior.

“Father see for yourself how arrogant he is?” the student deliberately provoked his teacher

“Who is your name?” ask the teacher to Ardhan.

“Ardhan”

“Ardhan, because you do not want to spend your food, then you have to wash all the dishes that are on the bag today. Let nothing be left. This is also a leveler for all of you so as not to waste food”

“But sir, It ..”

“No buts. You still have to do it. I will check it myself later” the teacher immediately turned away without listening to the explanation from Ardhan

The four seniors who pranked Ardhan laughed happily at Ardhan getting punished.

“Makanya, so the new boy do not doubt here. We can make you suffer as long as we are still in school here” said one senior while berbisk on Ardhan

Ardhan's hands clenched loudly while grumbling inwardly

“Damn, even though I did nothing wrong. They suddenly harassed me. We'll see later”

Flash back off

“Now I have this key in my hand. Let's just see this key can be used for anything”. The tip of Ardhan's lips slightly raised formed a thin grin as he got what he wanted

Elsewhere Fandy and Zara have just arrived at Fandy's house.

"I'm finally back in this house. I haven't been here in a long time". Zara who just got down from the car immediately spoke to herself while staring at the mansion before her.

"Is it really that long? It seems you are overdoing it" Fandy said with a sneering tone as he lowered Zara's suitcase.

"Of course it's been a long time. The last time I came here was when I was in junior high school, now I'm here in high school. Just count how many years I didn't come here". The annoyed Zara responded cynically.

"Yes yes. Let's hurry up and get in!". Fandy responded with indifference as he passed away leaving Zara outside.

"Fandy! Wait for me!" zara shouted as she ran after Fandy who had entered first.

"Mara ...!"

"Attante ...!"

As soon as he set foot inside the house, Zara and Fandy were greeted with a shout from a middle-aged woman. Zara screamed when she saw him.

"The show will begin" Fandy murmured as he passed away leaving Zara.

"Zara, how are you? You've turned into a very pretty girl now, haven't you? How's things going in there? Are your parents okay?". The woman immediately asked a lot of questions without giving Zara a chance to answer them. He didn't even let Zara sit down first.

“I'm fine aunt. My parents are fine, too, Aunt. Aunt herself, how's aunt? Aunty looks more beautiful, like a teenager”. Zara responded to Fandy's mother's words by giving her compliments.

“Tante is fine too. Never mind. Let's go inside. You must be tired, right? The room for you has been prepared, let Aunt take you to your room” Fandy's mother also took Zara's hand and walked to the room that had been prepared for Zara.

“Thank you aunt for allowing me to stay here with you” Zara looked at Fandy's mother gently as she spoke to him.

“Do not have to be so shy. You are also my nephew, how could Auntie not allow you to stay here? Precisely aunty happy because now there are you who will accompany Aunt. Sandy and Fandy are totally unassailable to talk to and they're boring”. Fandy's mother pursed her lips as she complained to Zara about her two sons.

“I can tell how aunty feels facing them so aunty need not worry because now there I am here” Zara smiled cheerfully as she comforted Fandy's mother.

“Thanks beautiful Zara. You must be tired, Auntie won't bother you to rest. If you need anything, just tell the maid directly in this house. Because from now on this is also your home, so no need to hesitate, okay?”

“Good, Aunt. Thanks”

“Yes, rest”

“Iya”

Zara responded with a nod of her head and looked at the increasingly distant back of ib Fandy.

“Haah ... tiredness .. I feel like my body can no longer move”. Zara complained while throwing her body on the soft mattress and immediately fell into a deep sleep.
