surprised, my heartbeat is uncommon, mixed emotion is all I can say.
'Who are you?' The question that came to my mind when I see this woman on the couch.
"Alona.." It's dad, I can't look at him, I feel that my eyes can't get over with this woman, Then I walk behind when she's slowly standing up, she gave me an awkward smile before greeting me.
"Hi.." I can't even greet him back... How Can I?
"Uhm...Alona" Daddy called my name, I look at him ambiguous," She's Kyla"She introduced the woman
I glanced again at the woman, She's beautiful and she looks kind, Then I was examining her when my eyes drop with her Tammy, She's pregnant. wait for what? Is she the girl that daddy chooses over me and mom? But..She's the girl I met many times, at the mall, even in the school, Oh God! she's the mistress.
"Along, She's Ky-" I cut him off.
"I heard it, dad.."
I know it sounds arrogant, But I can't grasp myself from being disrespectful. My father brought another woman into our own house, What did they want to prove? that here she's my new girl so I hope you have a good time together? I laugh sarcastically at what I was thinking then they look at me perplexed. She betrays my mother with this woman, yes I can say that she's more beautiful and sexy than my mother, but my mother is more accommodating over this mistress of my dad.
"Alona" mom tries to stop me from what I act. I leave a glanced over my mom, and look it back at this woman, Her eyes are anxious, she's nervous, So, I smiled at her.
she gulped,
"I'm sorry I'm Alona" introducing my self "daughter of Mrs. And Mr. 'Montenegro', ma'am" I casually said, indicating my surname.
She asked to shake hands, I stare at her hand, Mom will be mad at me, If I do more unnecessary things.
"Nice meeting you ma'am," I said, serious, But it's not truly nice to see her. I took my hands from her.
"don't call me ma'am, It's too proper, Just call me auntie" She smiled at me, However, she smiled beautifully it can't put away all my anger with her.
"You're not my auntie, so I don't need to call you auntie" I arrogantly uttered.
"Alona" Dad yelled.
I look at him and at my mom, She looks embarrassed with this girl of what I act.
"Mom, I need to change my clothes," I said.
"I'm sorry for what she said" I heard mommy apologizing.
"it's fine" The woman replied.
I take a bath and change my clothes, I sat down on my bed brushing my hair, I can't help but think why the world this to me.
My door opened and mom comes in, She smiled at me, I Didn't respond I hate her when she is apologizing to the girl. She sat beside me.
"Alona...I didn't like what you just said and how you treated Kyla." she lowers her voice, I did not have to answer, I can be a bad girl right now if I encounter a nasty girl too. "What did you do, is insulting your entire, She wants to talk with you, and she acquainted herself nicely" Mom rebuked.
"Mommy, I just can't imagine that girl... that girl is the reason why our family broke," I said, and took a deep breath. she's frozen
"What do you mean?" She interrogated
"I've almost seen that woman every day, every week, I thought she was a client of dad, and that woman is the girl I told you that save me when I was in the primary"
I remember that girl, how beautiful she is, when I was in primary I'm waiting for my dad in school, then suddenly a van shows an unnecessary move like it's didn't have a break, I was scared that time I thought that will be the end of my life but that girl saves me, she pulled me. But though she saves me that time, now she's ruined, my family.
" do you know that mon?"I asked, she looks at me confused "Mom, do you know that girl? and her connection with dad?" I directly asked.
"Yes," She uncomfortable of replying.
She knew then she let dad cheat with her, I think if you think that my mom is stupid with love I will agree with you, she breathes out.
"She's the first love of your dad, but she was leaving...it's not time to talk about this, I know they met because she's been our customer at our coffee shop while your dad is the one who helps our staff that time. Then I see how you're dad smiled and his happiness back when he sees again that Kyla."
Dad's happiness is back?
"What do you mean by happiness?" I asked.
"your dad is too in love with Kyla before, then when we've got married, the happiness in his eyes that he has when he's with Kyla, I can't see it while we're living together because I can't, I can not replace Kyla by his heart." Tears drop from my mom's eyes, it's too depressing seeing mom feel unloved.
"And now I'm happy to see the person I loved, happy with the person he loves him too, even it's not me"
Silence took the space of my room
"I love your father, but he can't, never love me the way I love him"mom cracked her voice I hugged her.
"Mommy, I'm here, I love you, mommy, I'm here to love you mommy" I whispered, She holds my shoulders and push me silently to face her.
" Please be nice with her, Don't talk even it's look kind then have some flirt inside on her body"mommy joke, I laughed.
Yeah, she's a flirt, how could she come back with dad if she knew that my dad has a daughter and wife already.
We're now in the kitchen having dinner with this woman, the maids serve the food
Daddy sat in his place while on his right side is my mom and me and his left is that Kyla, it's embarrassing having dinner with the legal wife and the mistress.
We eat silently When Kyla broke it.
