Chapter 22 - Speed Beyond Normal Limits

Bara doesn't accept the editor's words from her father just now, if that's the case, Bara seems to be a paid bodyguard, but Bara doesn't want to argue.

She was happy enough to be given an expensive car sooner than her siblings – because according to the rules, Bara could get a car when she was in college, just like Adrian and Hana who got a car on the first day of college.

Monika smiled, Bara knew that her stepmother was very happy if Bara was sent by her father to take care of Asih at school.

But still, envy was still clearly visible on his face. The stepmother who always makes her child proud—Hani really has to be heated so that her life is miserable, Bara thought.

They had breakfast as usual, until after they finished everything came out. Bara is very proud to show her new white car.

It looks classy and still shiny.

He arrogantly got into the car after greeting his father and the two women, his biological mother and stepmother, except Asih.

Adrian also went in his own car which was still good, he also greeted his father and mother and stepmother—Monika and also passed Asih like Bara.

After all, Jajaka Purwa didn't allow Asih's hands to be shaken by his two sons, so Bara and Adrian didn't have to humble themselves in front of Asih.

When Adrian had gone ahead, Bara was stopped by his father.

"Wait a minute!" prevent it.

Everyone was surprised, especially Bara who wanted to rush to prepare her brother Adrian, who had already gone ahead.

"Asih, today you go with Bara first. Pak Dadang will take me to the tea plantation today," he said.

Asih and Bara looked at each other. Thinking back to Bara's satire last night, Asih is very lazy if she has to be in a car with her impolite stepdaughter.

Bara is the same way, she doesn't want Asih to ride her new car. but what can I do, the two end up having to be in the same car.

Asih also shook hands with Jajaka Purwa and his two wives because Asih was younger than them and as a sign of respect for those who were older.

Monika is still with her grumpy attitude and face, in contrast to Kirani who tries to steal Asih's attention, especially her husband.

With a friendly smile, Kirani said while holding Asih's shoulder.

"Be careful, Asih, eager to learn." Monika smiled sarcastically, she knew very well about Kirani's cunning moves.

Ash nodded. "Assalamualaikum." Don't forget to say hello too.

"Wa'alaikumsalam," replied the others in unison.

Asih was the only person who said hello in the big house, it was rarely heard and no one even said hello here.

Let alone say greetings, just pray no one does it, except for a few employees.

People who worship smoothly here can be counted on the fingers.

Asih then approached Bara's car. He had a hard time opening the car door.

Bara smiled with a condescending look. He then helped Asih, he opened the door from the inside.

It's a shame, because it's the first time he's been in a luxury car. Asih sat down with a mountain of awkwardness.

Bara's sharp gaze pierced him, as if Asih's entire body was frozen by an ice attack that was very pointed like a sword.

As has also been given to a criminal who is ready to do anything to him.

"I'm leaving," Bara shouted as he started his car.

"Be careful, mama's boy." Kirani waved her hand at Bara.

Monika, who was standing next to him, widened her eyes in disapproval.

Kirani really didn't care, she was still calm looking at the bottom of her son's luxury car which had almost disappeared from sight.

After that, everyone went back into the house and Jajaka Purwa got ready to go to the tea plantation.

It was actually easy for him to pay for the driver again, but Jajaka Purwa didn't want to do that and he even planned to switch Asih's transportation to Bara and only occasionally got picked up by the driver.

Dadang picks Asih up so no one will suspect that Asih is already married to her classmate's father--Bara.

But the new way is also more efficient.

In this way, Bara will not play much with his motorcycle gang, which his father, Jajaka Purwa, never liked.

Asih and Bara were silent. Asih was very scared because Bara was driving at a speed enough to make her worried about bumping into other drivers to catch up with Adrian.

They seemed to be deliberately speeding on the highway.

Until Bara's car almost grazed, making Asih almost die.

"Watch out, that …. Careful!" Asih screamed, she closed her eyes.

Her heart felt like it was dislodged and the rhythm got faster after that.

A few minutes passed but the car was still running, the sound of Bara's booming laughter followed.

Then Asih opened his eyes again, he saw Bara leaning back while laughing at Asih driving the car with only one hand and his right hand resting on the glass shoulder.

Asih controls her breathing, she really wants to curse Bara but Asih doesn't want to do that because she doesn't want to get into trouble with her stepson. Last night's satire was enough for Asih.

"Your expression looks like you're going to die. Are you afraid to die?" Bara asked and drove back with both hands.

His eyes returned to focus on the road to catch up with Adrian's car, which was still in front of him.

"Still better die," said Asih slightly raised, Bara glanced at him full of hatred and did not feel guilty at all.

An Asih can reply to his words so boldly, he doesn't know who Bara is yet, the man thought.

"What if you have a disability?" asked Asih then.

Asih sounded angry, her eyes bulged full of worry and anxiety shown by her pale face.

"Shut up! Don't underestimate my driving skills, even though I just got a car, I can already use a car. It's not like you, you can't just open the door," Bara teased while increasing her car's speed again.

Asih then looked forward again, turning her face to the side of the car window to her left.

According to Asih, there is no point in arguing with Bara … the man will not budge.

He is not much different from his father. Asih has also resigned herself to the fact that the car she is traveling in will be in an accident. Asih hopes that she will just die so that she can end this life full of suffering.

When you see a crossroads ahead, Bara accelerates the car more than before.

Adrian followed, until they became one horizontal line. Adrian's face is clearly visible beside Asih, even though the car window is closed … his face can still be seen.

Adrian was driving very fast, it was also seen that his face was still calm.

Adrian did not look to the side, where Asih was watching him in Bara's car.

Then, they separated because of different paths. Asih and Bara go to the right, while Adrian goes to the left side of the road.

Asih still doesn't think that she is destined to have two stepchildren who are clumsy, according to her, both are emotional but one is colder like a mysterious killer while Bara looks like a rebel.

Asih snorted in disgust, he then opened his bag. Take out his cell phone to see the time.

Because Bara was speeding, the time was still thirty minutes past six. It was still early, and they arrived in five minutes.

Save thirty minutes, because yesterday Asih arrived an hour and five minutes past Bara's school.

Asih could tell by looking at the clock in the principal's office when she went to the room with Jajaka Purwa yesterday.

Just this morning, Jajaka Purwa gave him a cellphone to make communication easier. However, the journey is already like death, thought Asih.

His heart was beating wildly, his mind was wandering all over the place. Fear of bumping into people and being in danger of an accident, later the police might also be arrested for violating traffic rules.

"Quickly get out!" Bara ordered Asih and looked at him with a sharp glare full of hatred.
