IS IT LOVE OR HATRED?

CHAP 13

CHAP 13: DISPUTE(2)

People were looking for things. Kane saw that they wanted to help Almira, so he picked it up and hid it in his pocket.

In the little house…

When the maid reported that she couldn't find the earrings, Almira was scared when she heard that, and Aunt Daria sat next to her and comforted her:

“Auntie, what should I do?

Calm down!". But both understood what the consequences would be.

At that moment, grandma came down and asked:

“Ah, you still haven't worshiped Cosima at this time?

-Preparing to bring worship here! – Aunt Daria explained.

She turned to Almira and said:

“What about Kane? Has the boy prepared anything yet? I went upstairs and called Kane to see him." When Almira heard that, she gave her unfinished work to her aunt Daria and left.

After Almira left, she asked her daughter:

"What 's up?" And then Daria told her the story.

Now, in the garden…

After the maid couldn't find anything, she left, leaving only Kane. He was holding an earring in his hand to study. Almira listened to her mother's instructions to find Kane, so she went and said:

“Kane!

-You come for what? – he said while putting the earrings back on the tray on the table.

"Grandma told me to tell you to go to the house to worship!"

When everyone in the house is in the worshiping room….

Ciara returned home, she went to Almira and asked:

“Where are my earrings?

-Here!

-Why only one?

-It's gone!

- Did you lose it or did you get it, Almira ?

-I told you, if you can't find my earrings, you can pack your things and get out of this house. Pack your things and get out of here. Go! Before I call the police to arrest anyone. A thief like you!

-You have no evidence. How can you accuse me of stealing?

- Here it is, the proof, it's in my hands.

-Why did she do that?

Your life is in my hands. Without me, you wouldn't be standing here.

- If you hate me so much, why did you give birth to me in this world? I don't have the choice to be born. Before you tell others, why don't you look at yourself when you were born with me?"

Ciara heard that, got angry and planned to slap Almira. But because the sound of the two people was too loud, at that moment everyone in the church room came out. The grandmother saw the situation in front of her, she said:

"What?"

Ciara and Almira heard it and turned around.

"What happened?

-"This girl, she stole my earring. It's this" – Ciara held out the earring he was holding.

She saw the earring, took it back and said:

“So it's a ruby stone earring? Are you sure? This earring is yours, Ciara ?

- Here it is, the proof that it was stolen.

-I mean, are you sure these ruby earrings are yours,Ciara?

-What do you mean?

-These ruby earrings were personally ordered by me for my daughter Cosima on the day she got married. I can't figure it out, since when I give it to you? But if you determine this is yours, I would like to know you bought the earrings from the thieves?"

Aunt Daria added:

"If Grandma is the owner, and she loses her things, Dai will be the one in trouble, not you, Ciara !"

“Well, thank you anyway, because you gave it back.” After saying that, everyone left, leaving Ciara angry.

She saw Ciara standing right next to her, about to leave, she took a bowl of water from Almira's tray and threw it directly at Almira. She angrily said:

"Someone's covering for that, so you dare? You're going to make trouble with me, you should look at yourself, Almira.

But I'm not wrong.

-Wrong".

Ciara approached, raised her hand and grabbed Almira's hair, threateningly:

"You dare to call someone and that person with your face, not respecting me, while I am the female owner of this house. The kind of child of a thief can't be taught. You always think of ways to bite me back if you don't collect it. Claw your claws back, I'll be the one to pull your claws down." She pushed Almira down and walked to her bedroom.

Kane stood aside and witnessed all the humiliation that Almira had to endure, the injuries she received. After Almira calmed down, she packed up and went to the kitchen. Kane saw that immediately. Followed, encouraged:

“Going against a person like her, if you don't call it stupid, what should you call it? Smartness is harmed by intelligence, right?

"I never thought I would be anyone's enemy, and I don't want to cause trouble with anyone."

-Criticism is also sharp! Only her father and grandmother see her obedient and kind.

Wow, you've proven you're a crafty one.

Kane saw the tray of food she was holding left behind, while Almira was calmly not paying attention, he took the cake and inserted the earrings and forced her to eat:

"Eat it! You didn't listen to what I said, did you? Eat it all! Quick!"

Almira did not understand Kane 's intention, she stood there blankly. But because Kane always urged her, she took it and ate it. She ate the outside of the cake and stuck to the earring inside the cake, but when she saw it, she was hurt. Kane 's pleased face, she angrily said:

“Are you trying to make fun of me?

-This… it's a lesson for your boldness. Next time, think carefully. In this house you should listen to someone else's words.

After saying that, he turned away with satisfaction, leaving Almira where she had been biting on a piece of cake with an earring. Her mouth was bleeding.

At night, when everyone went to sleep, only Almira 's room was lit. When aunt Daria looked over, she stopped by Almira's room and saw that she was not sitting and studying as usual, but absentmindedly, as if thinking about something else. She sat down next to her and asked:

"What 's up? Why haven't you been on vacation yet?"

Almira gave her the earrings left over from the afternoon, and she asked:

“Did you find it?

-It was Van Hi who hid it. He intentionally wanted the mistress to misunderstand me. Why do people here hate me so much? What did I do to them? Aren't you just like them?"

“Almira, listen to this. We humans, when born into this world, each person's destiny is not the same, this place is not our home, so expecting them to love and care for us like a family. It's an impossibility."

Almira heard that, but she said:

“There's no need to love…as long as you don't hate each other, isn't that okay?

-If Almira is a good child, someday, someone will love and treat her well. But we ourselves must behave in a way that is worthy of the love that people give us. By doing good deeds, it helps the world, behave politely, and then slowly change people's dispositions. We should not rush to blame why people do not love us. But first, we have to turn around and ask ourselves, are we worthy enough to be loved or not?

-Be patient. Then it will be kindness that will help you win the heart of the other party.
