"I love you."
A sentence appeared on Ceisya's computer monitor. Her eyes blinked slowly. Her heart soared. If only the person who said that was in front of Ceisya, she would immediately run to hug him tightly.
Rayanka Yagiz, the man behind the name, was someone who always presented a body facing away. In the one year of their online acquaintance, Rayanka always posted photos like that. He had never shared a photo of his face.
But for Ceisya, it didn't matter. She felt that Rayanka was the person sent by God for her.
"Crash!"
Without permission, the bedroom door suddenly opened loudly. The object hit the bedroom wall and startled the owner of the room.
"Astaghfirullahaladzim," Ceisya exclaimed, holding her pounding chest. The sharp gaze was directed at Ceisya, who was already half frightened.
"Still in contact with your imaginary boyfriend?" the woman taunted with a harsh tone in every word.
Ceisya's hand quickly moved to cover the flat object, deliberately leaving a part of the screen still visible. She had to protect this object because her stepmother had confiscated her phone for frequently contacting Rayanka.
"No," Ceisya replied hesitantly. She hugged the laptop tightly, wanting it to merge with her body. There should be no one taking away this precious possession.
"Don't lie!" scolded the woman named Sentari, full of displeasure. This incident had happened not just once, but repeatedly. Even every day.
"Should I confiscate that laptop?" threatened the stepmother, who was always cruel to Ceisya. For Sentari, this girl was the only obstacle to obtaining Ceisya's father's wealth.
"Don't," Ceisya whispered, shaking her head. "I'm working on a college assignment."
Ceisya had to lie to her stepmother. In truth, Ceisya wasn't the type of child who disliked lying.
"I don't like you lying!" Sentari scolded, feeling displeased.
The woman approached with an unwavering gaze fixed on Ceisya.
Feeling that kind of stare, Ceisya immediately leaned her back against the chair she was sitting on.
"Should I force you to open the laptop to believe me?" Sentari brought her face close to Ceisya. The girl, feeling threatened, instantly shuddered.
Ceisya immediately shook her head. "No. I'm not lying," she said, stammering.
"Should I throw that laptop away?" Sentari glanced at the object Ceisya was defending.
Ceisya's relationship with her stepmother had never been good. The woman could turn into a devil when Ceisya's father wasn't around, but she would instantly transform into an angel without wings when Ramon was home.
Initially, Ceisya hesitated to allow her father to remarry. Ever since she first saw Sentari, Ceisya's heart told her that the woman wasn't good. And it was all proven after her father's marriage. Sentari showed her true colors.
The girl's face turned pale. She tightly hugged the laptop. She couldn't let her only possession fall into the hands of her stepmother, who had disliked Ceisya from the beginning.
"Don't! This is my only possession. You can take everything else, but not this," Ceisya said, firmly defending the laptop.
What would happen if the laptop was really thrown away? There were many college assignments that hadn't been saved on a flash drive.
"Stay away from your imaginary boyfriend!" The command had often come out of Sentari's mouth, but Ceisya completely ignored it.
"He's real. He exists. He's not imaginary," Ceisya defended her boyfriend.
"You are the dumbest woman in the world. A cheap woman. Dating but never actually meeting the person," Sentari taunted with a sarcastic tone.
Blood rushed quickly to her brain. Instantly, Ceisya's face turned red from the harsh words. She couldn't bear being called cheap.
“Open your eyes wide! There are many men out there who claim to be single but actually have partners. Who knows, maybe your boyfriend is like that."
Ceisya immediately shook her head. "No. He's not like that." This beautiful girl had complete faith in her online boyfriend, even though they had never met.
"Still being fooled by his sweet promises?" Sentari taunted again with a sarcastic tone.
Both of them fell silent, lost in their own thoughts.
Especially for Ceisya, who felt that her stepmother's words held some truth.
Rayanka had made many promises. From meeting Ceisya soon, to promising to take her to the wedding altar. However, none of it had been fulfilled in the past year.
"Fine, if that's the case. Bring that guy here as soon as possible. If not..." Sentari glanced at Ceisya.
Meanwhile, Ceisya took a deep breath, knowing what would follow in the conversation.
"Marry the choice of Aunt," Sentari continued with a cunning smile.
Ceisya's body immediately leaned against the wall. The trials were getting heavier day by day, especially after her father fell for the wrong woman.
"I don't want to. I still want to continue my studies and get the job I want. I don't want to get married at a young age."
