Forced to Be Stepmom
Holiday Lathan, Zara And Fandy

Lathan School.

Lathan, Zara and Fandy are resting in the park while enjoying a snack.

"Than, have you decided which university you would choose to attend?" fandy asked with his mouth still chewing.

"Ehm. I don't want to go all the way" Lathan also responded while enjoying a snack.

"What university are you going to go to?" lathan waited for Fandy and Zara to answer.

"I'm going to the same university as you". Zara answered quickly while smiling gently at Lathan.

"Thank you, dear" Lathan responded with a gentle smile.

"Ehm ehm .. can you see me here" said Fandy who felt alienated.

"We saw you, so we're still keeping our hands". Lathan held up one of her hands that were interlocked with Zara to show Fandy.

"My choice was not wrong to enter a different university than the two of you". Fandy spoke in an annoyed tone while Lathan and Zara simply smiled in response.

"How about we take a vacation before we start going to college?" Fandy asked with a cheerful and enthusiastic smile while waiting for Lathan and Zara to respond as if she was waiting to be approved.

Lathan and Zara stared at each other. The two of them seemed to be negotiating with each other with what Fandy asked.

"Vacation? Where's where?" Zara squinted her eyes asking with a puzzled look.

"Ehm ... Where are you?" Fandy thought about what Zara was asking.

Lathan stared fixedly at Zara who was thinking.

"How about your place? I want to know where you live" Lathan said as she looked at Zara with a serious look.

The expression on Zara's face that had been cheerful since then immediately turned gloomy. Fandy looked at Zara with a worried look.

"Why should I go where I lived before? We're going on vacation, right?" Zara asked with her head bowed and a sad tone. He clenched tightly until he realized that one of his hands was clasping tightly onto Lathan's hand.

Lathan looked at his hand that was tightly grasped by Zara.

"I just want to know where you grew up. That's it" Lathan spoke with a gentle smile as she rubbed Zara's hand held by him.

"But .." Zara bowed in doubt as she responded to Lathan's remark.

"No papa. I told you before, I'm beside you, so you don't have to be afraid or worry about anything anymore". Lathan calmed Zara down with her gentle tone and sweet smile. They looked at each other with great love

"Ehem ahem .. Do you remember I was here?" Fandy cleared his throat between Lathan and Zara as soon as he saw the intimacy between the two of them.

"Oh sorry, I forgot. I thought it was just the two of us here". Lathan responded indifferently, whereas Zara just smiled looking at Fandy.

"Yes yes yes I just rent it around the two of you" Fandy said with a sneering tone.

"So, where are we going on vacation?", continued Fandy trying to make sure.

"Hmn ... So did you agree to go to where you live?".

Now Fandy and Lathan look at Zara and wait for her decision. Whether he agreed or not to go home and meet his parents.

"alright. I concur. There are both of you beside me". Zara nodded in agreement with a faint smile on her lips.

"good. Then we prepare from now on and we'll leave next week". Lathan spoke with a cheerful smile on her face.

Fandy and Zara nodded in agreement with what Lathan said.

Radit Residence.

"Mih, Pih, I want to go on vacation before going to university" Lathan said in a calm manner.

Radit and Andra immediately looked at Lathan questioningly.

"Where are you going on vacation?". Andra asked with a curious face.

"Outcountry. I'm going to pay a visit to his brother Fandy's house" Andra and Radit look back at each other.

"Are you going to your girlfriend's house?"

"Boy knows where?". Lathan asked Radit with a look of disbelief.

"You think you can hide something from Papi?" radit said with a seductive smile.

Lathan just kept quiet and went back to watching television in embarrassment.

"Sister, can I come with you?". Ardhan asked Lathan with a sparkling look so he could come along.

"Can't!" lathan refused firmly.

"Why can't it? I also had a school holiday". Ardhan tries to convince her brother that they are off school at the same time.

"No. This time I will just go with Fandy and his sodas" Lathan told Ardhan.

"Mih, Pih, look. Brother didn't let me go on vacation with him". Ardhan complains to both of his men in order to join Lathan.

Andra and Radit stare at each other trying to find an agreement between the two.

"Darling, you better not go with your sister. He would go out with his friends before they went to college. You should understand better that they want to spend some time together before getting busy with their respective lectures" Andra advised her son to let Lathan go.

For a moment Ardhan was silent to his mother's words.

"Yes already. I won't go, as long as we can go together" Ardhan said confidently.

"Hmn ... Okay" Lathan agreed with what her sister said.

Departure day.

Fandy and Zara arrived at the airport first. They were just waiting for Lathan to arrive.

"Ra, don't you papa if we go home and meet your parents?" Fandy asked with a worried look on Zara.

"Yes, I'm fine. I told you that if you stood next to me, I wouldn't be afraid of anything anymore"

"All right then. Uh that's him!". Fandy was relieved to hear Zara's reply. Although the look of a worried face could not be hidden well.

"Where have you been? Why come at a time like this?" continued Fandy welcomed Lathan while grumbling.

"Yes yes. I was hit by a little traffic jam to get here. What matters is that I'm not late, right? Never mind. Are you guys ready?" Lathan smiled softly as she spoke to Zara and Fandy.

"Yes we are ready!" Fandy and Zara responded in unison while nodding their heads.

"Then .. Let's go" Lathan pulled Zara's hand and walked over while holding hands with her. Zara did not rebel at all and remained silent during the journey.

"Will my mom and dad be angry when they see me? Although I miss them, but I prefer not to meet them. Then ... How now? what's gonna happen?" Zara thought hard about the response to be given to her parents.

"Don't think too much. We're just going on vacation. You don't have to feel burdened by your parents' presence later" Lathan clasped Zara's hand tightly to ward off the worries she was feeling right now.

"Yes. I understand" said Zara, who followed Lathan's footsteps back to the plane.
