Chereads / Asih Without Love / Chapter 21 - New Car

Chapter 21 - New Car

Bara lowered her head, feigned guilt but she avoided it if she didn't knock on the door.

He'd been knocking on the door all this time but there was no answer, so Bara just walked in and what she saw for herself was disgusting to her.

"Sorry Dad, I knocked on the door a few times but there was no answer. So -"

Bara's explanation was cut short. "Yes, I accept your excuse. Now you want to take your gift, don't you?"

Bara smiled, rubbing her palms together wanting to get a gift.

'Present?' Asih muttered quietly.

Asih suspects why Bara was given a gift by her father even though it's not her birthday, because even on her birthday there will certainly be a big party and thanksgiving, whereas now there is none at all.

Jajaka Purwa then opened his desk drawer, took something and threw a key at Bara which he quickly caught. Just smiled broadly.

"Thanks, Dad," he said and he immediately turned around to leave.

But not that easy, his father prevented Bara's departure.

"Wait!" he said. Bara turned back around with a surprised look.

"What's more, Dad?" he asked.

Asih only watched the dialogue between the two of them and still looked awkward, he didn't understand before Jajaka Purwa explained.

"Don't forget your promise to Dad," he said again.

Bara nodded and then straightened his body with a brief gesture of respect.

"Ready!" he replied so happily.

"Asih!" call Jajaka Purwa.

"Yes, Sir?" Asih answered.

"Whatever happens at school, just tell Bara. If there is a man who seduces you, who pranks you and who leaks your identity who is married to me, report it immediately to Bara. He will take care of it and my men will also act."

Asih was surprised, but Bara was not. He smiled at Asih with pride because his father had given him a new Lamborghini car.

At first, Bara asked for a car that was more expensive than that, but the agreement was not realized and he accepted the car which was worth five billion.

For the size of a high school kid, it was more than enough for him to be able to show off to his other friends.

"Just calm down. Well, I will protect my beautiful stepmother and watch over her from the ignorant hands of high school youths. Who doesn't know Bara Purwa is the son of the Landlord, right?" Bara spoke sweetly so that his father would believe.

"Okay you can go."

"Ready, Dad," replied Bara excitedly.

He then looked at Asih and waved his hand.

"See you at school tomorrow, my beloved stepmother." Bara walked out by twirling the car keys on her index finger.

A pleasure that culminated for Bara, he finally bought a car after agreeing to a deal that he probably wouldn't really care about after that.

Likewise, the basic reason Bara was given a car was only because of Asih – whom she had to monitor and inform her father of every detail of Asih's behavior at school.

Asih doubted Bara's attitude just now, Bara's words 'See you at school' didn't seem like a pleasant word to her.

Ah, Asih has to get ready tomorrow. It could be that Bara means something else. No one knows, maybe he told Asih to get ready to face his delinquent attitude.

"You can also go Asih," said Jajaka Purwa without looking at Asih, he was busy with his work again.

Asih doesn't know what her Master is doing to make her special like that, but unfortunately Asih doesn't care. He then excused himself to leave feeling so relieved.

The door to the study was closed slowly so as not to make a sound so that Jajaka Purwa would not be disturbed.

After closing, Asih was surprised to find that Bara was still standing outside and was now leaning against the wall.

His eyes stared intently at Asih as his hands were folded.

Bara's face irritated Asih so much, he smirked for some reason.

"I didn't think a girl as innocent as you could be that good, huh," Bara teased.

"You mean?" Ash doesn't understand.

Bara laughed even more, but not so loudly because she was afraid her father would hear.

"Pretending not to understand you, you seductive woman. It turns out that you were just acting before, pretending you didn't want to marry my father. Very bullshit."

Asih burst into tears, her heart ached. Bara doesn't feel what Asih is feeling.

Instead of continuing to listen to Bara's sarcasm, Asih left, he ran to his room without answering a word. He thought it was useless, Bara would not believe him either.

Bara smiled sarcastically, she still saw Asih from her current position.

"Watch out, Asih, you have dared to be my father's third wife and made my mother hurt. I'm not going to make your life at school," said Bara, "your last year of high school, will be a moment that you will never forget. Ahahaha". Bara laughs like the Joker.

As his good plans ran through Bara's head, she then remembered something, now that she had the car keys in her hands.

Omens are to be boasted to all who do not yet know. Tomorrow Bara will show off the car to school, making Bella even more sorry for having an affair and will impress Rani with her.

He also remembers his brother--Adrian.

"Bro Adrian must be jealous, his younger brother now also has a car. Shall I tell him now, okay?"

Bara daydreaming, he wanted to inform his brother on his achievements as a son of a rich father. But, Bara immediately changed his mind.

"Ahhhh, tomorrow, let's all give a surprise to Mother Monik so that she is jealous and her heart is churned with coals of fire. Hani's car lost badly to mine, haha." Just very excited.

***

The next morning, Bara was still smiling. He couldn't wait to drive his new car which was parked in front of the house for everyone to see.

Bara and Adrian walked closer to the family dining table, Adrian felt strange with Bara's attitude today.

Usually he bends his face because he still doesn't like Asih's presence, especially since Asih goes to the same school as him now.

"Why? In the morning I'm like a crazy person, grinning even though there's nothing funny," said Adrian as he pulled out a chair to sit on.

His mother—Kirani and stepmother—Monika were already sitting there. Monika watched her two stepson.

"Today I will take the car, you must be surprised Sis. It's a new car," said Bara while holding up her car keys.

Adrian was indeed surprised, because Bara had not been given a car by her father on the grounds that she was still in school.

Monika who heard it then choked, because earlier she was drinking water.

Bara, Adrian and also Kirani looked at him in unison. Kirani smiled happily, she knew very well that Monika would be jealous of her son—Bara has a new car that her father had given her—Jajaka Purwa.

"Why have you been given a car with Dad?" asked Adrian, as he took the glass already filled with water.

The waiters also just left after preparing some plates along with spoons and forks, a sign that Jajaka Purwa will also come with their stepmother, Asih.

Monika began to spill her curiosity. His lips began to open.

"Bara Darling, by the way why did you get a car?" Monika asked.

Adrian smiled sarcastically while sipping his water while Bara smiled broadly. He was very satisfied because he had succeeded in heating up Monika.

"In return, keep Asih at school," replied Jajaka Purwa who had just arrived.

Everyone was shocked.

"Come on Honey, you sit down!" he said and then ordered his third wife--Asih to sit down.

Everyone there looked at Asih annoyed and full of hatred, especially Adrian, who didn't even want to look at Asih.
