There's a reason why Sena doesn't like fairy tales about princesses and princes. Or rather, she hates any story about a love that ends happily ever after. For her, all those stories are unrealistic, because almost all of them end in the beautiful wedding that many people dream of. Without thinking what might happen after the word 'happily ever after'. A story does not end there! Everything will continue and and those damn fairy tale writers sometimes forget to write down the continuation of the story. They are too excited to write beautiful love stories and put them in the heads of children who often hear fairy tales before going to bed. While in reality, not everything ends like that! Because Sena is a living witness who saw how a story of 'happily ever after' ended with 'deep sorrow until death is much better than life'.In a fairy tale that she witnessed with her own eyes, the one who played the role of the princess was her own mother, Miranda Wijaya. A daughter of a mining entrepr
She was 'forced' to enter into the fairy tale of her parents which was very tragic. At first, little Sena didn't understand what was going on with her family. She still looked at her parents with an innocent look without any suspicion. Whether it's because her parents are very good at hiding their problems, or Sena is just too innocent to understand all the signals of her family's breakdown. In the past, Sena had always thought that the reason why her mother often cried secretly was because she felt sad when she remembered grandpa. And the reason why her father rarely came home was because he was too busy taking care of the company after Grandpa died.That way, Sena spends her days in peace. A fake serenity, enjoying life as if her life was still as perfect as it was before her grandfather died. And finally, like a ticking time bomb, Sena's 'innocent' thoughts were suddenly forced to become 'adult' the moment that woman stepped foot in their house. A beautiful woman with a graceful fa
There is a wise saying, the most dangerous enemy is not an enemy who attacks you suddenly from the front, but an enemy who attacks you secretly, namely the people closest to you. If other people hurt you on purpose, then it's different from them. They often don't realize that their actions hurt other people. Even worse, they continue to commit the same crime under the pretext of "accidentally" or "unintentionally", causing other people to fall into deep sorrow. Is that enough? oh, of course not! Those people will complement their crimes with one final attack, which is the word 'sorry'. An apology that according to them is said sincerely so that it can erase all the mistakes they have ever made. And Sena, hates people like that the most!Sena drove her car, along the city streets that were not too crowded. Occasionally she glanced at her watch which currently showed seven in the morning. Well, What the reason she was driving so early? What's more, it's a Sunday! A small smile formed at
"Do I really have to do this?"Dira asked while playing with hER fingers. She occasionally glanced at the wedding hall which was not far from them."Of course! Have you forgotten that Adlet and Nana purposely visited your school to hand out their wedding invitations? Ah, just thinking about their audacity makes my blood boil...”Sena grumbled when she remembered Dira's story a few days ago. In her head, she started to wonder how Nana could be shameless and meet Dira without guilt? That's why she was determined to show Nana that Dira was very happy now.But Sena's burning anger disappeared when she saw Dira's face. Her best friend looked very beautiful with the dress and make-up that Sena gave her. However, seeing the look in Dira's eyes made Sena suddenly feel guilty. She then lowered her head while muttering sadly,"You must be annoyed because I forced you to do things you don't like.."“Yep!”Without further ado, Dira immediately answered, and this answer made Sena's heart sink even
Making peace with the past is indeed a difficult thing. But, believe me, when you do it, then only happiness will come to you next.~~~“Thank you for forcing me to come with you..”Dira said while taking a deep breath before exhaling strongly. The scent of roses filled her nostrils. Now, she and Sena are in a flower garden near the kindergarten where she teaches, after coming back from Adlet and Nana's wedding. Thankfully their marriage went smoothly. Dira feels like laughing when she remembers Sena's words this morning. She clearly invites Dira to destroy Adlet's wedding. But, instead of making a fuss, they attended the wedding quietly. Even though throughout the procession, Sena always gave Adlet a murderous look every time Adlet glanced at them for a moment."You know, if you keep wrinkling your forehead like that, you're going to look old a lot faster!"Dira flicked Sena's forehead, causing Sena to groan dramatically. As if Dira had just abused her."Wow, I didn't know you've bec
"Is there something bothering you?"Sena gasped in surprise when Deon suddenly touched her shoulder, making her mind that was wandering elsewhere return to its place “You seem to be thinking about something difficult. Is there anything I can help you with?”Sena just smiled and shook her head, indicating to Deon that she was fine. She then started again to arrange the items that she would display in her store. Actually Deon is sure that there is something Sena is currently thinking about. He might not have spent much time with Sena (due to her leaving the country after graduating from high school) but he could easily guess her feelings from the look on her face.Unlike Dira, who always openly expresses her feelings, Sena is just the opposite. Sene often hides her true feelings. Sena is the type of person who prefers to fight with her problems alone, get hurt alone, then shut herself off from the outside world.Suddenly Deon remembered her first meeting with Sena. Actually there was n
Huh?Sena just gaped at Aunt Marrie's strange behavior. To be honest she was shocked, very, very shocked! She didn't expect that the day would come when this haughty woman would humble herself and beg Sena. Perhaps thinking that Sena's silence was a refusal, Aunt Marrie panicked even more. She hugged Sena's legs while speaking in a shaky voice.“I beg you, save our Wendy! Save her!”Aunt Marrie, who touched her leg roughly, made Sena, who was still in a state of shock, flinch in surprise. She quickly pushed Aunt Marrie's hands off her feet and took a few steps to keep their distance. Even though Aunt Marrie's current condition looked very sad, for Sena, whose heart had already turned cold towards this evil woman, she didn't feel anything at all. Well, actually Sena was a bit surprised. If the feeling Sena meant was sadness or sympathy, of course that would be impossible. But she was a bit surprised, because she didn't feel the emotion she always imagined she would have if this evil wo
"What?! Oh, God! I'm sure that woman must be crazy!”Dira hit the table in front of her so hard that the beer cans on the table fell. Her breath hitched with anger, although a few moments later she immediately bowed to all the tavern patrons who were staring straight at her. She quickly cleared the table which had been soaked with spilled beer. Then after that she sat back down and looked at Sena who was sit in front of her. That girl just drank the beer in her hand with graceful movements, so calm, as if nothing had happened to her. Anyone who saw them at this time, would think that Dira was the one who had a problem.“Urrgh! That woman really makes my anger boil!”"You know Sen, I've always found your calm to be a scary thing."Dira said while opening her third can of beer, then started drinking it until it was half left. Yes, Sena's composure has always been what Dira feared the most. That calm demeanor is like a calm river but in fact it has a swift current beneath it and is ready
