Chapter 89 - The Backbiters Neighbor (1/2)
”Hanin, let's go home.” Rere grabbed Hanin's arm when she saw the girl playing in the park with the triplets. The four children were having a picnic. Incidentally, the housing complex provides a green garden for residents to relax from their busy routine.
Rere didn't want to be lectured by Ainil, so she decided to drag Hanin home. She couldn't be gentle and kept her voice low anymore.
”I don't want to go home with auntie.”
”Let's go home.” Rere gripped her stepdaughter's hand.
”Take your hands off. I want to play.”
”Hanin, can you hear mommy? Be an obedient girl.”
”I learned everything from you.”
”What have you learned? I never taught you to be a bad kid.”
”You teach me to be like this.” Hanin is firm in her stance.
”Don't make mommy angry, girl. Can you be a good girl?”
”You're no different than me,” Hanin retorted as she took a toy cooking utensil and poured sand inside, and gave it to Salsa.
”Thank you.” Salsa smiled sweetly.
”Hanin, listen to mommy. Let's go home now since It's late, plus you should take a bath.”
”I will take a bath at Mom Dila's place.”
”I am your mother, not Dila.”
”Not. My mother is mom Ananya, not you.”
”I know that I can't replace Mom Ananya's position but you need to remember that I am your mother now. I just want to take care of you like Leon.”
”Just take care of Leon. I'm not your daughter!”
”Hanin,” Rere's emotion was provoked as she decided to drag Hanin home.
”Rere, what are you doing?” Dila gets annoyed seeing Rere drag Hanin.
”This is my business. Do not interfere.”
”It's my business because you hurt Hanin.”
The girl ran and hid behind Dila's back as soon as Rere let go of her hand.
”Mom, I'm scared. She is like a witch,” Hanin said sarcastically at Rere.
The triplets were busy playing with the sand, so they weren't affected by Rere and Hanin's fight.
”Re, you can't force Hanin to go with you,” Dila slowly explained.
”You spoil her too much,” Rere retorted.
Dila was shocked and shuddered because it was the first time Rere spoke rudely to her.
”I spoiled her?” Dila did not accept what Rere said as she approached Rere.
”Why are you angry, sis? It is true that Hanin's spoiled.”
”How can Hanin obey you if you don't treat her nicely. You promised to love her as you love Leon, but in fact, you only care about Leon and ignored her. I have been silent all this time because I still believe that you will be mature and wise.”
”Don't interfere. It's a mother-daughter affair.”
”It's my business since Dino has entrusted Hanin to me. No wonder Hanin doesn't want to live with you and Dino leaves his daughter to me. Turns out you were really that bad.”
”Don't talk nonsense, sis.” Rere cannot accept what Dila said as her emotions exploded.
The debate between Dila and Rere attracted the attention of the women in the complex as they gathered to watch the drama.
”Isn't that Mr. Bara's wife and sister?”
”You are right.”
”Looks like they had a fight.”
”Yes. They're fighting over Hanin.”
”Rere is the girl who is pregnant out of wedlock, right?” An old woman who still looks so young glanced at her friends.
”Huss! Don't talk out loud. They'll hear you.”
A mother took a cell phone and recorded Dila and Rere's fight.
”She is now married to Leon's biological father.”
”Why did they just get married now?”
”People said that Leon's father used to have a wife. Rere is a homewrecker in that marriage, that's why they don't get married sooner and just do it after the man's wife's death.”
”Rere is a lowly woman. Even though she is rich, she wants to be the mistress of a married man. She really has no shame. What is she looking for? Since she has been rich since birth, it is not like she is after his wealth.”
”Rere reminds me of Da Kyung in a Korean drama. She is rich but wants to snatch away another woman's husband. Creepy.”
