just kick her out
Letta blinked a few times as suddenly the bedroom door opened loudly. “Wake up, don’t tell me you’re being lazy just because it’s Sunday,” someone snapped, making Letta try to sit up. But her movement stopped when her stomach started hurting again, prompting Letta to caress her flat stomach. Was this the effect of last night’s impact that hadn’t gone away? Letta thought, then she sat back down, looking at her aunt who was now glaring at her, no longer the same as before, when she used to look at her with one eye closed.
“Aunt,”
“I’ve heard all about Miti’s story. Don’t you have any mercy to help your own sister? Or have my acts of kindness toward you been insufficient?” Jeni said, making Letta sigh with exhaustion. Even her energy hadn’t fully recovered yet, but she had to listen to the scolding of the two people in front of her, who certainly despised her.
“I have often helped her, Aunt,” Letta answered without enthusiasm, her focus solely on her increasingly painful stomach.
“What do you call often helping? Then what about my kindness all these decades, what do you think of that? Just because I gave a little money to Miti, you say it’s too much. You really have no sense, just like your father,” Jeni said, folding her arms, staring at Letta with hatred, who fell silent as she was used to being treated like this.
Even that sentence had often been heard by Letta since she was a child, comparing herself to her irresponsible father who didn’t take care of her, leaving her alone, and forced to live as a dependent with her aunt.
“So what do you want from me now, Aunt? I have no savings left. Wasn’t my previous salary already used by you to pay off debts incurred from your shopping hobbies? I can’t give anything anymore. I have no assets or anything to sell to give to you,” Letta said, making Jeni and Miti look at her disapprovingly.
“In that case, just kick her out. After all, she can’t provide any benefit to us. She’s an adult now, so she can take care of herself. Instead of her continuing to depend on this house, right?” Miti said, making Jeni think about her daughter’s words in silence. Jeni then stepped back and approached Miti, whispering.
“If we kick her out, then what if we don’t have any money? Who else can we ask for help except her?” Jeni whispered, making Miti silent for a moment before responding to her mother’s whisper.

“Mum, just calm down. Didn’t you forget that my current partner is a famous model? I’m also about to rise to fame soon, so you don’t need to worry,” Miti whispered, making Jeni nod. After that, they both looked back at Letta.
“It seems like what Miti said is true. You are already an adult and can take care of yourself. It’s about time you left this house. You don’t intend to depend on us forever, do you?” Jeni said, making Letta fall silent.
Of course, she wanted to leave this house long ago, but for now, Letta really had no place to live. Earlier, Letta should have prepared at least a simple apartment for herself, but everything was too obstructed when her money was collected, and Letta had to give up her intentions because they always took her money.
“I will leave this house, but give me at least a month. I have to find a new place to stay,” Letta said, making Miti immediately smile disdainfully.
“Didn’t you boast about having a lot of savings last night? So just use that savings to buy a hut on the outskirts of the city,” Miti said, making Jeni laugh. Letta then fell silent as the pain in her stomach grew.
“I can’t just use those savings to buy a house like that. What about the daily expenses? At least give me time to find a rental,” Letta said, making Jeni step forward and gaze at Letta’s face.
“I have shown enough compassion for you, and that’s only because of thinking about your mother. But you are more like your father. For me, it’s enough to show compassion for you. So, just take care of yourself from now on, alone. Pack your things and leave this house. At least I can rent out this room to Miti’s friend who just returned from abroad,” Jeni said, making Miti nod her head.
“It’s good, at least this room can generate income. We can rent it out,” Miti said again, making Letta fall silent. When they finally turned and left Letta’s room, Letta fell silent. It seemed that Jeni and Miti really didn’t give her time to stay. Letta let out a long sigh, then roughly rubbed her face. She had to find a new place to live, but for now, it seemed a bit difficult.
Metta then got up from her seat. Right now, what she had to do was go to the hospital and check her pregnancy. Letta didn’t want anything to happen to her unborn child. After that, she planned to look for a small apartment, at least temporarily. With faltering steps, Letta headed to the bathroom to freshen up, then began packing her belongings.
Luckily, Letta wasn’t too keen on shopping like her cousins and aunts, so she only had a few things that she could easily carry. All these belongings seemed to be entrusted to Mia first. Letta actually felt sorry for troubling her friend, even though Mia didn’t really think about it. All she thought about was that she could always help whatever Letta needed.
When Letta left the house, Miti and Jeni in the living room ignored Letta, who was carrying two large suitcases. Although Letta had expressed thanks for the temporary accommodation, they only looked at Letta with disdainful glances, as if Letta was a burden finally leaving their home.
Letta then stepped out of the modest house that provided her with a place to live. At least, those were the memories that Letta could remember from this house, making Letta let out a long breath. It seemed that she would start a new life with her unborn baby, hoping that everything would be all right.
