She walked amid the crowd of people who are in the market. It was
seen there are some people who talk about the woman, one of them said,
“Look at that woman, she’s white and beautiful but unfortunately he had
an unhealthy body that is fat”. They laughed out loud when talking about
the beautiful woman. On the other hand, the woman looks with confidence
to walk and spread smiles to everyone around her. Due to the nature
friendly and polite that she had, a lot of people who love and
appreciate her. She’s also a very hardworking woman. When she went home,
she was not to rest directly. She did other chores such as sweeping,
mopping, washing dishes, washing clothes, and helped her mother to cook.
After completing the homework, time for her to relax while watching
her favorite tv shows that is cartoon. Because the fun watching, she did
not know that her mother called her to make tea. It made her upset,
angry and approached Yuanita by saying, “You are already 25 years old,
but you still watching a cartoon, until I called and you didn’t heard,”
turning off the TV is being watched Yuanita. She just looked down and
apologized to her mother. “You are already adult but you never willing
to change your bad behaviour, well you have to make a tea for me now”,
said her mother. Yuanita replied, “Yes Mom” ??as hse walked into the
kitchen.
The incident made Yuanita sad and upset with her mother. Because she
never gave enough time to watch her favorite cartoon. She then went to
the room with a scowl, her friendly smile was gone instantly, and the
tears wet in her white cheeks. In her grief, she recalled the same
incident a few years ago. At that time, Yuanita already developing
strategies to regulate some of the activities that should she do to be
able to watch her favorite cartoon. All things already well at the
begin. But when 30 minutes after the cartoon began, her mother told
Yuanita to help her who was cooking. Yuanita which is cool to watch tv
ignores her mother’s orders, because she had completed all homework
which she is responsible. It made her angry and turned off the tv being
watched Yuanita. She was forced to obey orders to help her mother cook
in the kitchen. Because if not, she will get mad and totally forbidden
to watch her favorite cartoon. The incident is still happening until now
the cause Yuanita lamenting his bad luck. Just to watch the cartoon was
difficult and full of struggle.
Christy was the younger sister Yuanita. She’s 5 years younger than
her sister. She has a slender body where it is different from the body
of her sister. Christy always get whatever she wants from her parents
quickly and without the sacrifices. She also could do whatever she
wanted without any restrictions whatsoever from her mother. Therefore,
Yuanita felt that her mother treated her differently and unfairly.
However, she just could silence her mother’s response to all treatments.
Because she’s not chatty like her young sister who always say what she
thinks. All the events that make Yuanita a quiet woman, aloof, and
closed.
When Yuanita was study, she lived with his uncle. She is free from
the shackles of her mother who always gave this command and that
command. She can do whatever she wants. She was able to watch cartoon as
much without her mother’s know. This she did about 4.5 years. In
college, she began a relationship with a man, john, from other campuses

has a very strong religious knowledge and understand the unseen. Because
of his knowledge, he did bad things, witchcraft, against Yuanita and
the purpose is to draining Yuanita’s family money. However, what John
did, it is out of Yuanita’s know. Time after time, Yuanita’s money owned
by john used up to pay the rent, pay for motorcycle loans, pay debts,
and others. And she did not feel that strange things. Because Yuanita
loved him, she did whatever John asked without her parent’s knowing it.
After graduating, she began working and living back with her mother.
Over time, Miss Alya started treating Yuanita well. She could do
anything and watch cartoon as much time not only at her uncle’s house
but also her parents’ house. Yuanita very pleased with the change in
attitude from her mother. However, hse still remains closed to her
family especially Miss Alya.
After a while, Miss Alya is getting treated yuanita very well. She
often buys gold jewelry to decorate Yuanita’s body to make it look more
attractive and elegant. However, every time Miss Alya told Yuanita buy
gold jewelry, gold jewelry as often as it is also missing. Yuanita
always give the reason that gold jewelry is lost on the road when Miss
Alya asked. She also often took the money without their parents’ knowing
it. Because of these, Miss Alya started to suspect something was wrong
with her ??son. She began to investigate how Yuanita’s life outside the
home. Because of her perseverance, she can find out what happened to her
son. Miss Alya told her son not to touch with John. Yuanita agreed and
was not related to John at the time. But, a few days later her gold
jewelry was missing again and make her mother angry and upset. So Miss
Alya initiatives her son to go to the chaplain and the paranormal to
heal her son. However, it can not change the bad habits of her who
always took the money and gave her jewelry to John. Miss Alya was
surrendered to sensitize heal of Yuanita that do not heal. Seeing that
her mother was seriously ill, Yuanita realized and began to change her
bad behaviour.
Several years later, Yuanita met a handsome man, a white,
hard-working, and good. The man named Michael. Yuanita undemonstrative
