"i said you deserved what you got."
"Your parents are dead, you work in a cafe. I'm sure my wallet's worth more than your last paycheck. So keep your distance from me, si*lan."
I don't understand what the problem is. He never acted this way on others, even people close to him always chose friendships based on level in terms of wealth. She was always sweet to others except me. It seems he deliberately wanted to play me.
I got up and walked up to him, his face made my emotions explode, with a single swing of my hand directly landing on his cheek.
"Plakkk"
Some people seemed to shut their mouths as if they couldn't believe what I had done.
Pritta shed his tears, his minions rubbed his body slowly to run.
That's enough to destroy my control. My hands were clenched and before I knew it, I remembered it, it was on her pink and soft cheeks.
I watched him walk
He stumbled and for a moment his friends caught on.
"Don't you dare say anything about my life. You're not the one who has the right to comment on my family." I snapped at him when I saw his struggle to wake up and then looked at me.
I ran out of class without waiting for an answer.
I don't care what people say about me. But I think something like that hurts. I lost my parents when I was thirteen and was adopted by my uncles and aunts .
They were so sweet to me and raised me so well. But I know it's a burden to them. They were poor but they never made me feel any shortage. So when I was eighteen, I rented a small boarding room to myself, a little away from them and got a job as a waitress in a cafe. That's where I met Arina and Ms.Angel. It was almost a year ten months ago when I was a freshman in college and just eighteen. My uncle and aunt also moved back to the country house.
And how can Pritta talk to me like that? What have I ever done to her? He doesn't know what it's like to live without parents, I hope he'll never experience it. It was the most painful thing for me, the loss of my parents. But I won't let him treat me like this, I'm strong, I know I'm strong.
After my classes were over, I went home immediately. I arrived at the cafe at about 16:15 p.m.
I saw arianna behind the counter, taking customer orders, I opened the door of the cafe, heard a bell ringing on it and walked towards Anna
"Hey, are you walking again? It took a long time" said Arianna, she smiled at me as I came and stood beside her.
"Not everyone has a car like you. Some people have to walk or take the bus, "I replied
He chuckled and shook his head. "You forgot when I stole it from my parents."And how lucky I am that they didn't report it".
"That's a parting gift because they didn't acknowledge me" his countenance changed
anna cleared her throat
"Ok Darla I'll clean the cafe today. You're in the register. Ingatttt Don't make any mistakes!".
I nodded at him and started working. Not many customers came . In the end, I completed some assigned notes from school and even had time to study. It was the best part of this part-time job, getting a lot of free time even when I was working. And also paid pretty well. But it's a long time. I worked at the cafe from four in the afternoon to nine in the evening.
"Darla", Anna called from behind me.
I turned.
He finished with his work, he sat leaning on the counter, a cup of coffee was already in his hands. He sipped, his tongue sliding over his lips as he wiped the coffee in his mouth.
"You know my friend, Sera?. His birthday is this Saturday. He's having a big party he's inviting me. But you have to come along too."
Arianna was a drunk. He likes parties. However, I don't seem to. I hate parties because they make me feel uncomfortable and out of place, and all I see at parties is loud music, people dancing like there's no tomorrow and alcohol. It really wasn't my pleasure choice.
"I can't, Ann. I don't like parties. You know it. But don't worry, you can go with your other friends, "I said and saw his face fall.
"No one else is free to drink tonight. Don't worry, this isn't a middle class party. Please, comeon. We won't be there for long, just a few hours. Please, for me."He gave me the puppy's eyes.
"No. I have to study. Why don't you go alone?"
"It's gonna be so awkward for me. I don't know anyone but him in his entire family! I promise I won't leave you alone I'll stay with you all the time. You're gonna be fine. Don'worry. Please." She begged.
Why was he so desperate to go to the party? Doesn't she always go to parties without me?
I know how Arianna is. He doesn't give up unless he gets what he wants. He gives me a headache sometimes.
"Please. Just for a few hours. We'll be back before eleven. You won't regret leaving. Please!"
I let out a breath. No matter how much the party was hated, no matter how much I would reject it, he knew he would succeed around me in the end.
"Good". But as you promised, just for a few hours, we should be back before eleven. You're gonna stay by my side all the time understand?"
He nodded his head excitedly. "Yes, yeah!"
"Good," I said and she turned to leave when I suddenly remembered the most important thing to tell her.
"Ann!" i'm calling.
He turned around with curious eyes.
"What?"
"And the other one, you can't drink at all"
"What's? Not likely. I'm gonna drink a little Darla, who's gonna say no to free drinks?"He whined after I turned around to leave. I won't allow him to drink, I cling to my faith.
"No."I said.
Anna tried to show her a wailing face she knew my weakness, as hard as I could to look forward not to see her face that was already like a little dog.
"I won't make Darla's mistake, but please, just this time"
"Darlaa....."
She kept whining but I ignored her and walked towards my apartment.
