THE FROZEN LOVE
Eps. Linda's Welcome
Along the way home, Everly's eyes looked at the car window with a troubled mind. While Roland looked silent and did not look towards Everly in the slightest. Only silence now accompanies their journey home.
Roland was unable to look at Everly, his beloved daughter. He felt guilty for bringing Everly into the debt problem to the Bank which was finally due.
"Sir, we've arrived at your house!" said the driver of Gerald's man who was assigned to pick up Roland earlier and also drove Roland and Everly home.
Roland nodded then opened the exit followed by Everly. The driver eventually drove back to the Mansion.
Everly stepped into the house uninspired. Roland who saw his daughter like that, also felt sadness. He failed to be a good father to Everly. She saw Everly go straight into her room without saying anything to Roland.
Linda, who had been waiting for Roland and Everly, seemed confused to see Everly coming in without saying her usual greetings. He saw, Roland also with a sour face now sat languidly on the living room sofa.
"What's wrong, what's going on?" linda said with a look of wonder and curiosity. Roland looked at Linda, he was sure that Linda would even be happy with the decision he had taken. Because Linda was the one who actually forced Roland to sign the agreement last night.
"I signed it, Lin!" answer Roland listlessly.
"Oh good Mas, finally we don't need to get out of this house and our shop can still open!" linda was relieved and satisfied.
"But, I'm like an evil, selfish father to his own daughter!" roland said, he felt pain in his chest. Holding his chest while grimacing.
"Everly was lucky Mas, she was going to marry President Gerald Vicario, the richest conglomerate in the country, and she had raised the dignity of her own family!" linda said with a sparkle. He had imagined that he would struggle with property and wanted to be immediately free from the poverty he experienced.
"You should be kind to Everly, thank her, because she's willing to sacrifice so much for our family!" timpal Roland as he stared intently at Linda's bead of eyes.
Linda was speechless, she felt stuck with Roland's words. Yes, he had indeed hurt Everly a lot Roland's biological child, his stepdaughter.
"Hmmm.iya mas, I will be even better to him, forgive me Mas!" linda replied with a smile while hugging Roland. Roland did not react, he instead stood up and entered the room. Linda caught up with him, but he glanced briefly at Everly's closed room from the inside. There was no sound at all, it seemed that Everly was asleep, Linda muttered.
"Mother, did Father and Sister Eve go home?" suddenly Valerie came out of her room.
Linda nodded with a smile and undoed her intention of catching up with Roland to enter their bedroom.
Linda beckoned Valerie to follow her to their porch. Valerie nodded and stepped out following her mother.
Linda also sat on the terrace seat by leaning her body. Valerie sat down next to him.
"Finally, your father wants to sign the Treaty, son!" linda said with a happy smile. Hearing that, Valerie smiled. He could not hide his joy.
"Yes son, you will also be able to enter the life of the conglomerate family later, there must be an opportunity to find a husband among them, do not want to lose to your stepbrother!" timpal Linda cynical.
"Oh, sure, ma'am, after all I'm much prettier and more educated than Eve!" reply Valerie with a mocking face.
Linda laughed even though she knew that Everly did not continue her studies for Valerie to attend college. Even Everly worked hard to finance her college.Yes, her stepson had sacrificed a lot for her family.
But Linda still hated Everly, because Roland loved Everly more and married Linda not because of love but Linda who forced him. Linda made the baby Everly as a tool to approach Roland and marry him. Though he knew, Roland's heart was only for Emmely.
"Mom, why daydream?" valeria surprised Linda from her daydream. Valerie looked at her mother and tried to guess what was going through her mind.
"Mother, there's no need to think about it. The important thing is that we can get out of our unlucky state all this time. After all, Everly had to obey father and mother, if she wanted to return the favor of father and mother all this time.!" valerie said that she drove her mother's bad taste to Everly.
Linda thought about what Everly was feeling right now. The girl must have been hurt even more because Everly had sacrificed too much for her father, mother and step-sister. Even Everly's future must also be mortgaged for their happiness.
"Mom, I, you sleep late at night, wake me up early tomorrow and don't forget, make me stock, ma'am as usual!" pinta Valeria spoiled then kissed Linda's cheek and rushed into her room next to Everly.
Linda went inside and turned off the lights in the living room. His eyes glanced back at Everly's room which seemed to have gone to sleep.
Everly's room
"Mother, why do I have to face all this, I'm not strong mother!" isak Everly lies down and holds a picture of Emmely, her mother who died in childbirth.
Everly, has no memory of her mother. He only knows the story of Emmely from his father Roland and also his grandmother. Everly always dreamed of her mother even often fantasized that her mother was beside her.
"Mother, next month I'm getting married, pray that I'm happy, mother even if it's only one year, but somehow all makes me afraid of mother, help me mom, hiks .hiks?" every said softly while hugging a photo of Emmely.
Before long Everly's eyes closed, she felt an incredible drowsiness. Everly yawns and falls asleep.
Everly wants to dream of the beautiful tonight hoping to wake up tomorrow morning with a new power and if necessary there is a miracle that will change the course of her life today.
Gerald Vicario, I hope you cancel the wedding, and I'll be free from that senseless demand, Everly's mind hugging Emmely's photo.
The Mansion
Gerald couldn't close his eyes. He still imagined the beautiful face of Everly who was facing her face when they fell together and Everly was right on top of her body. Gerald smiled as he bit his lip.
