Forced to Be Stepmom
The Andra and Vio Approach

Today Radit invites Andra and Lathan to go visit his parents. As promised to Andra before, he wants Andra to be more and more with Vio. Maybe that way Vio's situation can improve

They left early in the morning and Lathan seemed to be very excited about their visit. Because before leaving, he was the one who urged Radit and Andra to leave early

"You look so happy, Lathan?" Tanya Radit looked at Lathan who was sitting behind the rear view mirror

"Of course pih. I'll meet my grandparents. But pih, grandma will accept me or not huh? I'm afraid that grandma will yell at me again" Lathan, who was smiling cheerfully, now looks worried

"Grandmother is sick, so Lathan has to understand yes. But according to my mother, if Lathan often visits grandma, grandma can definitely recover and accept Lathan" Andra talked to calm Lathan

"Are so pih? Grandma doesn't hate me?" Lathan asked Radit again to confirm Andra's words

"Yes, mommy's right. Maybe she hated her own granddaughter. Maybe grandma was like that because she had never met Lathan. From now on, we will often visit our grandparents. How's it? You agree, right?" Radit spoke to Lathan while focusing on the street in front of her and occasionally turned towards Lathan who was behind and Andra who was beside her

"Yes pih, I agree" Lathan smiled cheerfully and replied enthusiastically

They had arrived at Leo's house. Radit immediately took his wife and child to meet his parents

"Hello pah, mah" Sapa Radit on Leo and Vio

"Hi Dit, you have arrived" Leo turned to Radit and replied with a smile on his lips.

"Yes pah" replied Radit and immediately sat down near Leo

Andra approached Vio and sat down next to him

"Hi mah's. How's mama doing? Emm, do you know me? I'm Andra, Radit's wife and mother's daughter-in-law" Andra spoke while holding Vio's hand. Radit, Leo and Lathan just silently watched the two of them

"Ehm, how about we take a walk to the park?.Can pah?" Andra asked Vio and turned to Leo for his approval

"Of course you can" replied Leo with a smile

"Let's mah" Andra also helped Vio stand up and swept him towards the garden behind the house

"Well, you know what if Radit's mad? He was like .. a lion ready to pounce. His eyes were always staring intently, and his lips were always tightly locked with no expression. But if he was with Lathan, that trait would be gone. He looks ordinary, even looks like a father who is very attentive to his son" Andra continues to invite Vio to talk even though Vio does not answer. Every now and then she turned to Andra who was smiling cheerfully at her and looked at her face fixedly. Vio pictured Lea's face as he watched Andra laugh

"Lea? Are you Lea?" Ask Vio to Andra to make sure

Andra smiled at Vio

"No, I'm Andra. Who is Lea?" Ask Andra to provoke Vio's response

"She .. that's my daughter. She was a beautiful model, kind and different from the other siblings. Oh she just gave birth to a son. The baby is very handsome, white and has a face like his father. But he hasn't seen me in a long time. So I don't know how his son is right now" Vio looked enthusiastic when talking about Lea. She smiles sometimes, but she also looks sad

"Mama loves him so much?" Andra asked with a sad face

"of course. She's mydaughter. But I can't protect her. After an accident, I never saw Lea again" Again Vio looked sad. Tears began to drip down both of his cheeks. Andra's heart was also sad, slowly she wiped the tears on Vio's cheek

"Mama don't be sad. Now I will accompany my mother. Radit and I will come here often to see Mama. So mama won't be lonely anymore" Andra said with a gentle smile on her lips. Vio just looked at her

Andra, Radit and Lathan spend time with Leo and Vio. Eating together, talking and watching television, they spend time cheerfully. Andra always sows Vio, while Lathan plays with Leo. They look like a happy family

Meanwhile, Gio was at the hotel. They are coming from tourists who spend the weekend

The hotel is currently in trouble

"Gio, please help bring the guests to their rooms and bring their belongings to their respective rooms as well. The other service rooms are busy too. We lack people here" said Dita as the manager of the hotel

"Well, Dita" Gio answered forcefully. There was no smile on his face

"Why did I end up here? I should only take care of the bookkeeping" muttered Gio while carrying a suitcase and bag in both hands

"It used to be like this, I'd do it with Andra. We will help arrange guests to rest in a comfortable hotel. Now I have to do it myself" Gio drowned in his daydream with Andra while still working at the same hotel

"Are you not able to carry this stuff properly? Look at my bag so it's like in8!" Gio regained his senses from his daydream as a guest slightly shouted out

"I'm sorry?" Gio asked with a confused face

"See this!" The guest shows her handbag that got stuck when Gio took her

"I'm sorry. Sata accidentally pulled it too hard until the rope broke" Gio said with a regretful face

"What's this?" Tanya Dita who saw the commotion between Gio and the hotel guests

"Oh, look at this employee of yours. My bag broke and his things fell apart" the guest said in annoyance

Dita looked at Gio in annoyance

"We apologize for the inconvenience. Let me drive you to your room . Gio, please find another handbag to carry this mother's stuff scattered "Dita asked Gio to look for a replacement handbag for guest items and drive him himself to the room

"This is your room. Have a good rest, I hope you enjoy your time at our hotel" said Dita politely

"Yes, thank you" replied the guest who then entered his room

"Gio, come with me!" Said Dita with a firm attitude then walked away first followed by Gio behind. They walked to Dita's office

"What did Dita call me?" Gio asked in a calm manner

"Sit down first" The two sat facing each other

"What's up with you lately? You got a problem?" Dita looks serious asking Gio while leaning her body on the sofa

"I'm fine, ma'am. Why?" Gio looked astonished

"What's the reason? You often leave the hotel, daydream a lot and now you make the mistake of damaging guest items" Dita firmly reprimands Gio

"I'm sorry, I'll pay more attention to it" Gio lowered his head feeling guilty

"If you have a problem, you better solve it quickly. I don't want your problems to interfere with work later"

"Good ma'am, I understand. I'll focus more on work"

"All right, you can go"

"Good ma'am. Excuse me" Gio left Dita's office and left his room

"I have to solve my problem with Andra. If it continues like this, I can't work well"
