Chapter 82 - Entrusting Hanin (1/2)
”Oh, really?” Dino put his hand on his hips. ”Can you keep your promise then?”
”Of course. I'm a person who keeps my promises.”
”Liar!”
”I never lie.”
”What about Hanin? You broke your promise to her.”
”I never broke my promise to her. I accept her as my daughter.”
”But your action says otherwise. When we just got home you only paid attention to Leon. Hanin is in front of you, but you ignore her. She was waiting for your warm greeting, but you ignored her like you ignored me.”
”You should have realized from the start that this marriage shouldn't have happened.” Rere did not want to be blamed again. She did not accept being corner like this.
”I'm going back to KL. I will not burden you to take care of Hanin. Hanin will live with Dila. She is more comfortable with her aunt than her stepmother.”
”Whatever. I don't care,” Rere said aloud. After that, she smacked her lips because she realized her mistake. She had promised to love Hanin like she loved Leon.
”Now I know who you really are. Once a child is always a child, irresponsible and only becomes their parents' burden. If you are not one of those Crazy Rich children, you will not be this arrogant. Without your parents' wealth, you won't be standing like you are now, shopping as you please.”
Rere was shocked since Dino's words hit the bullseye. Even though Rere was slapped hard on her face, she still acted arrogantly. Rere realized that if Bara wasn't there at that time, she might not be able to give Leon a decent life.
”Why are you keeping mum? Can't answer me? Am I right?”
Rere didn't care as she chose to leave Dino alone.
”We're not done talking yet.”
”I'm sick of you.”
*****
Dino and Hanin came to Dila and Bara's house. Their house is only a few minutes away. Dino needs to talk to Dila before leaving for KL. He has some urgent work in the office that can no longer be postponed. The client wants to meet him for a work deal. Dino's advertising company has been very busy these days. Dino needed to select the talent that would be used as an advertising model.
”Dino, Hanin,” said Dila when she saw their arrival. She quickly opened the door and let them in.
”Where's the triplets, mom?” Hanin asked enthusiastically.
”They're upstairs.” Dila pointed to the children's room which was on the second floor.
”Can I go there?”
”Of course, baby.”
Hanin ran upstairs. She had missed playing with his three favorite nieces and nephew, leaving Dino and Dila behind.
”Sit, No. What do you want to talk about?” Dila invited Dino to sit down.
”Where is Bara?” Dino's eyes wandered around looking for Bara's whereabouts.
”Not home yet. He said he was still on his way.”
”Oh, I see.”
”What's wrong, No? You seem restless?”
”Yes, I'm nervous Dila. I will leave for KL tomorrow morning. I want you to take care of Hanin when I am there.”
”What about Rere? Why leave her to me? It's not that I don't want to do it, No, but Rere and Hanin's relationship could get worse. Hanin and Rere need to stay together.”
”Rere is still selfish. The girl still cannot take on the responsibility of being Hanin's mother. She only paid attention to Leon and ignored Hanin.”
”Rere has promised Hanin that she will love her and will not treat Hanin differently.”
”Promises can be broken, Dil. I can't believe that Rere can take care of Hanin well.”
