The First and Worst Couple Fight

Ok, Just for you guys to know. I have a father and mother, they got divorced when i was 6, and my father remarried with another woman.

Oh don't get the wrong impression, it sounds sad but it's not! In fact, we're all happy. Me and my sisters live with my mother, my father lives with my stepmother. And even though she's my stepmom, she's extremely nice, always take me to foreign land, always gave presents no matter what i ask for. I called her BUNDA.
Bunda and my mom are friends, and my mom has no issue with meeting with my dad or get together for dinner as a family.
My stepmom though has one problem...   She's a clean freak. Not to be rude but she is, after getting up from bed, she always told me to make up my bed, oh no that's not the problem. It's just when she said 'make up the bed' it's more like 'make up your room'
1. when folding the blanket, you need to do it like when you're folding a ceremony flag
2. If there's hair on the bed or on the floor put it in the trash
3. Always open the window and the curtains nicely
4. turn off the lamp immidiately
5. turn of the AC
6. don'tclose the door
the annoying part is not doing it, but hearing her yell the same thing every morning even though i only forget 1 part of it. And i can't complain cause you know what they say "When in Roman, do as the Romans do"

After understanding her annoying part, you'll understand the story more

i'm 15 now, which mean it's been 9 years since my dad started living with bunda. They never fight (Well they have, but not a serious fight) me, my dad and my stepmom plan to have dinner at a mall called Gandaria City, people called it GanCi.  me and my dad waited for bunda in the car (it takes time for her to get prepared) When she arrived and gets in the car she was mad, at dad.
"Why can't you be tidy for once? You should know, don't put your clothes on the bed, don't let the bathroom door open, when going out don't forget to turn off the lights" "We're only going out for about less than an hour" said dad, "No excuse, it's your stuff so you should clean it, i'm not a maid that cleans your stuff for you, who do you think you are? a king?" with bunda assuming my dad to just do what he wants (which he did) my dad got angry. There was an awkward silence after that.
still in the car, we just got out from the house and in front the gate. My dad then said, "All right then, we're going back!" he turned his car around and wen't back to the house, "We're not going to eat?" asked my bunda with an annoyed tone, "If you want to, drive yourself there" said dad with the same tone my bunda just used. And what did i do? Just sit behind and enjoy the show (though it's not an enjoyable show)
After getting in the house, bunda immidiately got out of the car and went inside the house. She also asked whenever i either want to join dad for dinner or spend time at home with bunda. Since i don't want to hurt their feeling of picking who, i decided to join dad with the excuse of having free dinner (Although i always have free dinner) in the car i was trying to cheer my dad up so he would laugh again and then lecture him that  in a fight, both sides are at fault. And since he's already 60 year old grandpa, he should stop acting childish and apologize and i'm sure bunda will apologize as well.
Then suddenly my dad asked if i still wanted to go to Ganci, i asked why he asked and he said, "i'm not in the mood for food now, can we go back?" and you know what else? we were only about 15 meters away from home. I was speechless, but since i don't want to be the only one eating we agreed to go back and that i have to bear to eat lasagna (again) for dinnner.
I took out the lasagna from the fridge, heat it up, and then bunda appeared at that time. I lectured her of course just like dad to forgive dad and not to be childish by getting upset over something so small it's not like he does it all the time so she doesn't need to be harsh. and she's more than a half century years old, she's too old to be childish anyway.
My Lasagna was finally heated up, and i took my spoon from the drawer. just when i was about to dig in, i heard a loud noise..., bunda's voice actually, and i thought she's fighting for real this time with dad. Since i was worried, i went to their room and dad came out from it, "Let's go, we're going to GanCi in the end" said dad.

I had nothing to say, but my jaw drop.  my dad wore his jacket, bunda wore her make up, and me? well i was standing still looking at them with a spoon on my hand that i was about to use to eat my dinner since i was FREAKING HUNGRY. it's a good thing i'm a mature woman who wouldn't mind and accept this kind of thing. I went back to the kitchen, put the spoon back, and put the lasagna  back to the fridge. But the only thing in my mind was that i felt sorry for Pak Said, the gatekeeper, he had to open and closed the gate 6 times already that day, it's a good thing they apologize to him. (They haven't thank and apologize to me though, but i let a few money i asked to dad instead as the reward for my mature behaviour <---- i wonder if that includes as being mature)

so now you have it, that was the worst fight i got involved and experienced in my whole life. Next time maybe i should leave them be.
