Forced to Be Stepmom
Playing at Home

Lathan and Ardhan eventually bring Lili to a public park because Lili does not want to play in the park around their house. There are more people who come because it is located in the middle of the city.

"Lili, why would Lili want to play here? There were more people here so Lili couldn't play as happily as Lili". Lathan spoke softly to the younger brother who was looking around the garden.

"Lili tuka dini kalena banak olang come here, while diana Lili not bya belte meet banak olang tepelti this". Lili responded with an eloquent tone but from her smile it was seen that she was very happy to see many people coming.

"Yes already. Now what does Lili want to do here?" tanya Ardhan who also accompanied Lili.

"Tata, how about playing bubble? Look, like those ogles". Lili pointed at the bubble balloon seller who was blowing his bubble device into the air.

"Yes already. Let's play! Dhan, buy him the bubble. We will be waiting for you there" Lathan said, pointing to one of the chairs under a shady tree.

"I? Why should I? Brother alone bought it, let me wait here with Lili" Ardhan pointed to himself with a frown in wonder.

"Sister who will play with Lili. You just buy the bubble first. Yes, yes" Lathan said with a sweet smile and both eyebrows raised together for many times.

"Haa .. Brother sucks. You slackers!" Ardhan complained resentfully as he passed leaving Lathan and Lili while grumbling.

"Look at your second brother. She was exactly like a grumbling mother". Lathan talks Ardhan to Lili. They laughed and looked at Ardhan's back.

Ardhan bought the bubble toy himself. Many other people play bubbles with their partner or child. Since Ardhan bought it himself, everyone looked at Ardhan with a strange look. Ardhan who felt uncomfortable also turned to and fro because he felt their gaze.

"Haaa .. I look weird for buying this myself" Ardhan murmured with a long sigh with a bubble toy in his hand. He walked in quick footsteps to get to Lathan and Lili.

"Lili, this is the bubble toy" Ardhan said as he handed the toy to Lili

"Yeaayyy .. thank you, Brother Aldhan" Lili said as she received the toy cheerfully.

"Ta Lathan come on maon!" Lili immediately played with Lathan. He floated the toy and the wind made many bubbles fly.

"Waah Ta Lathan, a lot of bubbles. Waving a high wind in the wind" cried Lili who laughed cheerfully at the flying bubble.

"Do you like it very much?" asked Lathan who was smiling happily to see Lili.

"Yes, Lily tuka. Telsir".

Without Lathan and Lili realizing there was someone watching them from a distance.

"Fan, is that Lathan indeed such a gentle and cheerful person?" ask Zara who is spending time with Fandy.

"Yes, he is a good person, but only to his friends and family. Why are you talking about Lathan?". Fandy responded with indifference, then he looked at Zara with a curious look on his face.

"There's nothing. Just ask". Zara responded indifferently and her gaze continued to point at Lathan. Fandy simply shrugged both shoulders with his lips raised in response to Zara's remarks.

"Have you contacted your parents? It seems that during this time, you very rarely contact them". Fandy switched their conversation to Zara.

"They're busy, so there's no need to tell too often. They'll get mad if I call them too often". Zara spoke with a faint smile on her lips. His eyes could not be separated from Lathan who was playing with Lili.

"You should communicate with them more often. Besides ... I miss Zara who always smiled cheerfully and kindly as before".

Zara looked at Fandy who spoke to her with a gentle and warm smile.

"Have you forgotten that the friendly and cheerful Zara was dead at that time? Now there's only a broken, stiff Zara".

"Ra, can we not discuss that again? The nature of a person cannot be changed. You are not at all wrong for having a cheerful and friendly nature. Can you stop blaming yourself? You should know that you deserve to live happily" Fandy looks upset at Zara, but he tries to speak well and doesn't make Zara anxious.

Fandy was silent looking at Zara who now looked like she was about to cry.

"Ra, how about we go see a psychiatrist again? You only need regular consultations to be able to regain your peace of life" said Fandy with worry.

"No. I don't want to do that anymore. I just want to live a normal life like everyone else. If I go to a psychiatrist, I feel like an abnormal person" Zara responded to Fandy, shaking her head many times.

"Who said it wasn't normal? Instead it can make you more normal because it can interact with many people without any worry or fear". Fandy is still trying to persuade Zara to keep her word.

"What are you guys doing here?".

Zara and Fandy were shocked to hear someone talking right in front of them. They both looked at him simultaneously. They looked up their heads to know the face of the person who greeted them.

"We're just talking. You alone, what are you doing here?". Fandy responded to Lathan with a puzzled look, then he looked at a small child who was beside Lathan.

"Hello, pretty Lilies. How's it going? Are you all right?". Follow Fandy who is now greeting Lili while waving his hands with a friendly smile.

"Hello Tata Fandy. Lilies are fine. Tata tendili how kabalnya?". Lili waved her hand at Fandy responding to her question with a cheerful smile engraved sweetly on Lili's lips.

"As you can see. Brother is fine" Fandy responded to Lili gently and was about to wipe the little sigadis' head, but Lathan immediately held his hand.

"What's? You won't let me hold Lili's head?" Fandy asked Lathan with a look of annoyance.

"No. Your hands are dirty. Later there can be lice on Lili's head" said Lathan with a cold attitude.

"You are yes. We are friends, but you always act like that. It sucks!".

Fandy grumbled annoyed at what Lathan had done to him.

"What are you two doing here? You must have instigated my girlfriend to have her behave badly to me, right?".

Lathan looked at Fandy and Zara alternately while waiting for an explanation from her.

"W-what do you mean? Since when are we dating?". Zara immediately denied it though with an awkward attitude until she stammered.

"Racier?".

Not only was Lili shocked, even Ardhan who was not far behind Lathan was so shocked and curious that he immediately ran up to Lathan.

"What?! A boyfriend?! My sister didn't tell me before. Since when did you start dating?" Ardhan asked frantically and in a hurry.

"Yes, when did I become your girlfriend? I never agreed with what you said" Zara denied again in an awkward manner.

"Aren't we in agreement before, My lady? So you can't back down or leave me at will. Understand, darling?" Lathan spoke with a cold tone and a sweet smile on her lips.

"Let's go home, Lili, Ardhan. Mommy will be home soon. See you, Honey. Take good care of my girlfriend, yes Fan" said Lathan who was about to pass. He patted Fandy on the shoulder as he spoke to him

"Not to worry. He will be safe with me" said Fandy, who now tries hard to resist the smile of seeing Zara's confused attitude.

"Patience Ra, from now on .. he'll be more attached to you". Fandy talks to Zara while patting her on the shoulder and leaves the park.

"Whatchu mean? Don't scare me. Me and that brash guy don't have any relationship. So you don't talk carelessly!". Zara punched Fandy on the back while continuing to grumble during their journey, but Fandy only smiled in response to Zara
