Chapter 83 - Hanin And Rere Debate (2/2)
”Are you talking politely to dad? You think I don't know how you treat dad. You ignored dad. You hate dad.”
Like a thunderbolt in broad daylight, the words Hanin said freeze Rere. She couldn't believe what she heard. She thought that Hanin would not dare to speak to her face-to-face. Hanin even dared to fight her without the slightest fear. She was also shocked that the seven-year-old girl knew how bad his relationship with Dino. Hanin is very mature for a girl her age.
”Don't make up that kind of story, Hanin.” Rere dodged, denying Hanin's statement.
”If I was good at making a story, I might have become a famous author, Auntie.”
”Talk to me respectfully or I'll drop you off here!”
”Just do it. I am not afraid. Your attitude proves that all the stepmothers are cruel. There are bad stepmothers. You prove to me that all stepmothers will never love their stepchildren.”
Rere's throat tightened. She didn't expect those words to come out of Hanin's small lips. She didn't know who taught Hanin to be so mean and unfriendly.
”Hanin, I didn't mean that.” Rere tried to give in as she lowered her voice. She didn't want to hurt her stepdaughter's feelings.
”You don't have to be nice to me, Auntie.”
”Hanin, I don't know how to explain it to you, in fact....”
”No need, Auntie.”
”Don't be stubborn, Hanin.”
”Aunt is the stubborn one, not me.”
Rere is frustrated with her stepdaughter. She thought Hanin was an innocent child, it turned out she was wrong. Rere found Hanin's attitude was exactly like her. Stubborn and never want to lose. The girl couldn't be bothered and did not waver even a little bit.
Abi, the driver, was silent and did not dare to comment. Rere did not know that her conversation with Hanin was heard by Bara since Abi was on the phone with Bara. The man did not turn off the cellphone.
Arriving at the house, Hanin immediately got out of the car. Instead of going inside Rere's house, she went to Dila's house.
”Hani, where are you going?”
”I am going to mom's home.”
”Your home is here.”
”No, it's Leon's home, not mine. My home is at Mom Dila's place.”
”Big sis, where are you going?” Leon asked innocently. ”I want to play with you, big sister.”
”Later, handsome brother. Big sister has to go to school first. We'll play again later.” Hanin stroked Leon's cheek and then hugged him.
After that, the little girl just left without looking at Rere. The girl was still annoyed at Rere for treating her dad terribly. Rere only cares about Leon. Rere never showed concern for her.
Rere took Leon's hand and entered the house. She halted her steps when she saw Ainil standing with her hand on her hips.
”Why didn't Hanin come back here and go to Dila's place instead?”
”She wants to be with her mom, not Mommy.”
”You should have won the child's heart. Hanin has become your daughter, Rere. It's your responsibility to look after her when her father is away.”
”It's not that I don't want to. Hanin doesn't want to be with me.”
”This is your fault.”
”Why is it my fault?” Rere doesn't want to be blamed.
”You're wrong for discriminating against her. When you come home from your honeymoon. You just hugged and asked how Leon was. She's waiting for you to greet her, but you're busy with Leon instead. You ignore her. I often see Hanin daydreaming seeing you and Leon. You two just played together and didn't invite her. Little children have very sensitive feelings, Rere. Treat her properly.”
Rere was shocked. Realizing her attitude had hurt Hanin's feelings. No wonder the child is not friendly and hates her.
”Fix your relationship with her. Hanin is your child, not Dila's child!”
