Ratapan Anak Tiri II

(title translation: Lament of a Stepchild II)

For this sequel to the unexpectedly successful Ratapan Anak Tiri (Lament of a Stepchild), Susy is bullied by her stepmother, who is her father’s third wife. However, her stepsister Umi, who is the biological daughter of her stepmother, always defends her. Reno, her schoolmate, loves Susy but it is not mutual. On one occasion when he eats at her place and makes the floor dirty, Susy is thrown out of the house, when her stepmother slips, knocks her head and is unconscious. Umi joins Susy and they stay over at a friend’s house. Umi misses her father, so both girls separate. The stepmother, who is looking for Umi, comes across Susy on the streets and verbally abuses her. Susy now dares to fight back and challenges her. Roy, Susy’s teacher, who cares about this class champion, wants to inform Susy’s situation to her father who has just returned from the hospital. But he cannot get into the house because the wife is not at home. Then the father asks the stepmother for a talk in order to solve the problem. He knows that she poisoned Netty, Susy’s sister, and he has the doctor’s letter to prove it. They get into a fight and then, there is only silence. When the door is opened, both have died after swallowing poison.
