THE CHARM OF THE VILLAGE GIRL
(FEGG) ~ Powerless Stares
With a messy appearance, Kanita finally returned to her parents' residence after meeting Fedo. His heart and feelings were shattered after receiving such heart-piercing words from Fedo and his father. Along the way here, Kanita kept thinking about whether she was really so despicable in front of the father and son. Which made Kanita give up. He needed a hug from both his parents to calm the wounded heart.
"Good, Miss Kanita. You why?" asked the waiter in shock when he saw the appearance of his master's son who was so chaotic.
"Auntie, are Mom and Dad asleep?" ask Kanita lirih. He who usually behaves curiously to the servants now seems so fragile even to just talk cetus he is no longer able. It's very sad, isn't it?
"No, Miss. The Master and Madam were still in the living room."
After that the waiter attentively helped Kanita walk into the house. And the actions of this servant even made Kanita cry again.
Fedo, even the waitress I've always treated badly is still willing to help me. But why can't you do it? What's wrong with me, I've never done anything bad to you. Why, Fed, Inner Kanita.
In the middle room, Mili who was about to go to her room like she was about to faint as soon as she saw the arrival of Kanita who appeared on the papah by the maid. Immediately he dropped his phone on the floor and rushed to his daughter. While Dominic, he who was surprised by the actions of Mili was immediately looking at the direction where his wife ran away. And as soon as he turned his head, his eyeballs instantly rounded wide.
"Jeez, Kanita. Why you?!" dominic shouted as he walked quickly towards his daughter who was now in his wife's arms.
"Woman, babe. What's the matter, hm? Who's been scouring you?" asked Mili while crying. He was very sick to see his favorite daughter come home in this condition.
Kanita is silent. His eyes were empty, but there were tears dripping from there. Kanita wanted to tell her father and mother about the baby she was carrying. But Kanita could not, she hated to say that. Be that he's under so much emotional pressure. Not to mention the bitter incident that just happened. Makes Kanita more stressed thinking about it.
"Servant, my daughter why? What the hell is going on?" dominic asked the waiter who had brought his daughter into the house.
"I don't know, Sir. Miss Kanita's situation was like this when she came here. When I asked why, Miss instead asked if Mr and Madam had slept or not. So I quickly helped Miss into the house for fear that she might fall unconscious" replied the maid, staring anxiously at her master's son who looked very helpless.
"Yes already then. Now please bring warm water and bring it here. Also prepare a nice dinner. My daughter hasn't eaten yet."
The waiter nodded and then ran to the kitchen. Afterwards Dominic invites Mili to bring Kanita to sit on the sofa. His daughter looks so weak, and Dominic is sure that she didn't eat well during her stay in the apartment.
"Dear, what's wrong with you? Tell Mom yes so Dad and Mom can help you," Mili persuaded while wiping away the tears on her daughter's face.
"I'm tired, Mom. Really very tired" said Kanita in a very small voice. He wanted to rest, even if he could rest for ever.
"Tired? Oh, do you want to rest in the room? Did you deliver?"
"Mom, am I that cool in your eyes? Am I so disgusting that there are people who think I have no self-esteem anymore? Am I like that, Mom? Daddy?"
Dominic immediately responded to where his daughter was talking about. Clenching his hands, Dominic crouched on the floor then clasped his daughter's hands very tightly. Cold, and also shaky. Dominic is convinced once whether it was Fedo or Mattheo, one of them must have done or said something very bad to his daughter. Because as far as Dominic knows, only they are able to make his daughter become as fragile as she is now.
"Women, does this have anything to do with Fedo? Don't be afraid, tell me the truth because you won't let them act arbitrarily to your daughter. Tell Dad what they've done to you!" dominic's insistence.
"Fedo says I'm a woman who no longer has any self-esteem, Dad. And Uncle Mattheo also said that Fedo would not be with a woman like me," Kanita replied as she held back the tightness in her chest. "I just love Fedo, not want to do anything bad to him. Should they humble me to this extent? If I could, I wouldn't go after Fedo, Dad. But I can't, I love her so much. I felt like I was going to die from not seeing him for two months. I went to Fedo because I couldn't help but miss. I just want to see his face, Dad. That's all!"
Which parent's heart is not broken upon hearing this kind of confession from their child. So too is being felt by Mili and Dominic now. They were so furious at the couple's father and son from the Eiji family. They did not accept Kanita to be demeaned so despicable.
"Dom, I don't accept my Kanita being made fun of by them. Do something immediately. If you can, sue them for degrading a woman. I don't accept my daughter being humiliated to this extent. I don't take it, Dominic!" mili screamed with angry eyes.
"You're right, Mili. Maybe for a while ago I gave up because I was blind to our daughter's feelings. But seeing those who were so arrogant with trampling on Kanita's pride, as her father I was very much inadmissible. Now I'm going to go straight to Mattheo's house. They have to take responsibility for making Kanita like this!" sahut Dominic with anger so high.
Without wasting any more time, Dominic immediately left his son and his wife. But just a step he walked, suddenly Kanita rested on the floor while hugging his legs. Dominic became very confused. He stood still as he looked down at his daughter's tear-soaked face.
"Don't go, Dad. Let it. Don't go see Fedo and his dad. No," said Kanita lirih.
"Why don't you, Kanita. They've demeaned you, I can't stay silent watching this kind of injustice happen to Daddy's daughter. They should be taught a lesson!" dominic sahut astonishment.
How's this. If you keep going there, Fedo and Uncle Mattheo will definitely tell you that I'm pregnant. No-no, no matter what happens, Mom and Dad can't figure this out. I need to get rid of this baby before they know. But how? batin Kanita fretting.
"Woman, don't tell me you're banning your father from leaving because you're still expecting Fedo's love!" accuse Mili of suspicion.
"Dad, Mother. Please don't go there. It's better that Mom and Dad are here to keep me company. I want to be with you guys, I want to be loved like before" said Kanita trying to persuade her father not to go to Fedo's house. He's really scared right now.
Mili and Dominic looked at each other. After that they stared deeply at Kanita who was again silent with a blank look. Unable to see the circumstances, Dominic finally decided not to leave. She prefers to accompany her daughter who is in desperate need of support. Let it be, for tonight he will not make calculations with Mattheo and also his son. But once there is a chance, Dominic will definitely ask what they mean by lowering the princess's self-esteem.
We might be friends, Mattheo. But as for my daughter's self-esteem issues, I won't forgive anyone who dares to demean her. Including you and Fedo, Dominic grumbled at heart.
