"''Rangga is just my friend'' that''s just your excuse! You deliberately told Rangga to stay away from me so you could get close to him, right? Just admit it!" Be snapped, pointing her finger at Lisa''s face.
"For God''s sake, I''ve told you many times that Rangga and I are nothing but friends!" Lisa replied defensively. Her tone began to rise along with the decline of patience that she had painstakingly maintained up to this moment.
"Lis, you told me to avoid Rangga. You also asked Rangga to refuse me so that I wouldn''t ruin my college life. What''s that if not an excuse so you can easily get him?" Be''s face looked disappointed and angry. Lisa could see the sparks of jealousy from the glint of her eyes that began to tear up.
"You still have a grudge against me because I don''t want your life to end up like mine? Learn from your sister''s experience Bel! All of my love stories from college to work never ended happily. There''s no way I approached Rangga to rece Oscar''s position " Lisa was eager to exin to Be that she and Oscar would reconcile soon. But it was not the right time to exin everything to her. The girl was still unstable even though she would graduate from college soon.
"You did it on purpose, Lis! You even work in Rangga''s office and suddenly you tell me to avoid him. Now he doesn''t want to see me again because of you. How else should I call it if it''s not you separating him from me on purpose?" Be used curtly.
Unable to hold back her emotions, Be''s tears fell from the corner of her dark eyes. The girl sobbed while trying to calm herself down by sitting cross-legged in front of Lisa.
"Be, cut it already! I don''t want to hear your nonsense anymore. I got epted in his office by coincidence! There is no way I nned it all. I was also shocked when I found out that Rangga owns the advertisingpany!" Lisa exined.
But it seemed Be still didn''t believe it. The girl stared fiercely at Lisa''s face, which looked confused and irritated. "If a thief confessed their crimes, the jail would be packed up! Are you still denying your fault in this?!"
"Bell, quit it already! I''m tired of you. It''s up to you if you want to fight me, I don''t even care. I''m so fucking tired! I''ve done what''s best for you. It''s up to you whether you want to believe my exnation or not. My points stand and Rangga doesn''t have that kind of rtionship with me!"
The sound of the teapot whistling loudly from the kitchen stopped them. Lisa immediately turned off the stove then lifted the teapot to brew tea. Her mother seemed too tired and sleepy to pay attention to her two daughters who were fighting in the dining room, so the middle-aged woman didn''te out to interfere.
Lisa poured hot water from the teapot into a cup filled with tea bags. When she lifted the teacup and was about to take it to Kum''s room, Be stared at the teacup with a sly gaze. She approached Lisa suddenly and hit the teacup filled with hot water until it hit her hand.
Be identally injured herself then she screamed in pain and made a sad face. "Ouch! Ah! It''s hot! Ouch my hand! Did you do it on purpose!?"
Lisa was surprised when Be used her of injuring her hand by spilling hot water. She immediately put the cup on the table until it clinked loudly and then took cold water from the refrigerator. She quickly grabbed Be''s hand but Be brushed it off.
"Sister Lisa! You really have the heart to do this to me! You really have the heart to hurt your own sister! Do you have the heart to hurt me because you are jealous of me? Look at my hand after you flush it with hot water!" Be shouted loudly, hoping Kum would hear her and defend her.
Hearing Be''s scream of pain, Kum jolted from her sleep. With unsteady steps, the middle-aged woman got out of bed and approached her two daughters in the dining room. Her eyes swept around then looked at Lisa and Be who were kneeling on the floor. Be''s face looked in pain with her eyes pissed off, and filled with tears.
Seeing her beloved youngest daughter hurt, Kum immediately asked, "What''s wrong with you two!?"
"This is her doing, Mom! Sis Lisa identally poured my hand using hot water!" Be lied to Kum. She faked a sad face so that Kum sympathized with her.
Without saying much, Kum went straight to Be and grabbed her blistered hand. She rubbed it gently then grabbed the cold water that Lisa was holding. "Ouch, my dear ... Here, let me help you. Is it still hurt?"
Kum turned to Lisa then red at her. Her tone immediately changed when she faced Lisa who was petrified at her side. "What''s wrong with you, Lisa!? This is your sister! My own flesh and blood. You really are too much! If you have a problem with Be, please solve it well!"
Lisa was silent when Kum scolded her. ''Damn, she''s good at acting too,'' she thought to herself. "Mom, you misunderstood. Be identally bumped into me when I was carrying a cup filled with hot water," she exined bluntly.
But Kum did not believe Lisa''s exnation just like that. When it came to Be, her eldest daughter would never win in her eyes. For Kum, Be was her favorite and the girl could just never go wrong.
Be thought that it was the right time to take advantage of the situation. Inside, the girl was smiling slyly and satisfied to see Lisa being scolded by her mother. She wanted to make Lisa suffer even more with her next acting.
"Mom, Lisa deliberately poured hot water on me... I apologized to her earlier because of the previous problem. I''ve been begging repeatedly but she didn''t want to forgive me. Then suddenly she poured my hand with hot water. She hates me mom," her tears flowed profusely, "I didn''t think you would be so bad towards your own sister, Lis," Be continued, pretending to be sobbing.
Hearing all the lies and acting that Be did to get her revenge on her made Lisa furious. Lisa pointed at Be''s face and gave her a fierce look. "You don''t have to act, Bel! Just because you are your favorite child, you think you can use me as you want?" She snapped, thundering across the dining room.
"Stop, enough already! You two need to end this enmity! And Lisa, don''t yell at your sister! At least pity her a little!" Kum eximed, getting frustrated at the face of her two fighting daughters. The middle-aged woman got up from her knees, led Be to stand and then sat on a chair at the dining table.
With a mncholy and pitiful look, Kum rubbed the burning scars that began to turn red over the surface of Be''s skin and thenpressed them with a wet towel. She stroked Be''s back while trying to calm her youngest daughter who was still sobbing.
Kum then walked over to Lisa. The middle-aged woman looked into her dark eyes with a gaze full of fiery anger before she pped Lisa''s cheek until it turned red like a boiled crab.
Lisa was surprised, she held her hot cheek and turned to her mother with a surprised look. "Mom, it''s not my fault! Be lied to you!"
"Lisa, how many times have you hurt your sister? Thest time you were here, you pped Be until she didn''t want to leave her room for almost a week! Now you have the heart to hurt her by pouring hot water on her!" Kum snapped, pushing Lisa''s shoulder.
"Mom, do you really believe that I deliberately poured hot water on Be?" Lisa asked sarcastically.
"Don''t listen to her, mom! Sis Lisa is jealous of my boyfriend!" Be shouted from where she sat.
Kum stared at Lisa closely, this time her gaze looked even more terrifying. "You''ve made up and are going to reconcile with Oscar, but you''re still jealous of Be''s boyfriend!? Are you still not satisfied with that white guy, Lisa?" Kum asked coldly.
"Mom! This has nothing to do with Be''s boyfriend. I don''t even know who Be''s boyfriend is now!" Lisa replied bluntly. "Be, don''t lie!"
"It''s enough! I don''t want to deal with this problem any longer!" After she was satisfied from scolding Lisa, Kum brought Be back to her room and treated her youngest daughter''s wound.
Lisa could only sit quietly in the living room while relieving her anger that was boiling inside her heart.
''Be you spoiled brat!!!!''
