Anindira Dew

Section 34

Along the way home, Anin cursed in his heart because Vivi now she just arrived at the mansion at 8 pm.

Askara will definitely eat it alive, especially when calling earlier Askara's voice sounded angry.

Anin slowly opens the door of the room, it turns out that the room light is dead. Has Askara slept? very quickly, thought Anin.

With a sneak around like a thief, Anin stepped into the changing room wanting to pick up clothes. But just a few steps the room light suddenly lit up.

"Where have you been?" the sound of Askara's cold voice made Anin's fur stand up.

With a hard swallow, Anin turned to look at Askara who was now standing right behind him with both hands in his pants pocket.

Anin displayed a smile as sweet as possible hoping Askara would not scold her.

"Why did you just get home at this hour?" askara's voice sounded slow but her tone was so cold.

"Sorry, Jakarta is jammed" replied Anin who came out of the mall half an hour after Askara called him but because it was very late in the afternoon, the streets of Jakarta were very jammed.

"Why don't you go home with Mr. Hilman?"

"Vivi forced me to accompany her shopping"

"You can resist it" Askara cut quickly. "Oh or were you bribed by Vivi?" askara continued investigating.

Anin nodded her head weakly "Iyya"

"On what bribe to the extent that you attach more importance to Vivi than your husband's orders" hardik Askara.

Anin looked at Askara's eyes for a while, but hurriedly lowered her head again.

"Novel" replied Anin slowly, even the novel he did not have time to buy because he had to go home.

"Cih. cheesy" said Askara.

Anin raised her face annoyed, what did she say? cheapo.

"Sir Askara is done, right? I want to take a shower" Anin said because her body was so sticky. His discomfort had been withstood since then.

Anin passed by leaving Askara before the man opened his voice, indeed his body was very tired and only a warm bath was what Anin needed at this time.

"Anin" growled Askara because Anin passed by leaving her alone before she even finished talking.

*****

Anin came out of the bathroom refreshed, her body feeling so light now.

Askara's eagle eyes continued to watch Anin who was drying her hair.

"I haven't finished talking and you've taken it for granted" hardened Askara made Anin look at her with a big smile.

"Heheh.sorry, my body felt so sticky earlier" she grinned.

"Massage me" Askara's orders made Anin look at her cengo'.

"Massage?" Anin's Beo.

"Yya massage, it's punishment because today you violated the rules of our agreement" Askara explained.

Inevitably Anin asserts than later Askara is more angry at him "Yya, good"

Anin crawled up to Askara's big bed, her hands started massaging Askara's back as well as his head.

Askara's eyes closed to feel the pleasure of Anin's massage.

"A little tight" Askara ordered as Anin's massage loosened.

"Yya, this is also very tight" replied Anin, his hands already felt very sore, from earlier massaging Askara's stocky body but the man had no sign of stopping.

Anin's phone on the nightstand rang.

Anin heaved a sigh of relief because she finally had a reason to stop spying on Askara.

"Why stop?" ketus Askara's.

"That's my cell phone sounds, who knows it's important"

"Earlier Vivi, no need to lift, continue your work until I say stop" pressed Askara.

Anin flicked her lips in annoyance, her hands were already very tired.

Anin's phone rang again.

"Sorry sir, it seems like it's important" Anin said.

Askara chanted "Gift, then resume your work"

Anin got out of Askara's bed to pick up the phone.

But Anin was silent for a while.he stared at his phone and Askara alternately.

After a few weeks passed, Risa just contacted Anin again. Well, the one who called was Risa, Anin's mother.

Askara looked at Anin "Why hasn't she been picked up?, she said it's important" Askara said because Anin was just staring at her phone with a pushy face.

"I'm sorry to go to the balcony for a while" Anin said away to pick up a phone from her mother.

Askara's brows furrowed as she saw Anin answering the phone by moving away from her.

Askara's memory goes back to the photos of the man she saw in Anin's cell phone gallery. Askara believes that the person who contacted Anin was one of them, which is why Anin moved away from her.

Askara got up from her bed, she wanted to know what Anin was talking about.

"Hallo Bu" said Anin when the phone was connected.

"From wherever you are, why just pick up the mother's phone" Risa's tone of voice rang out.

"Sorry, Anin was taking a shower so she didn't hear mom's phone" Anin replied lying.

There was a sound from Risa's voice "Reason, you must have avoided the mother's phone"

"Mom needs money" replied Risa to the point, as Anin had guessed.

Anin's heart ditched, even Risa without further ado or just asking her news first.

"But a few weeks ago Anin sent me"

"It's over, all the groceries here the price goes up" Risa reasoned.

"Well, how much do you need?" ask Anin.

"10 million" said Risa made Anin scream in shock.

"What the hell..? 10 million? Ma'am, where did Anin get that much money" said Anin was shocked, not out of thought.

"That's not mom's business" said Risa did not want to know.

"Mom, 10 million money is a large amount of money for Anin. Even Anin had to work for 5 months to be able to collect that much money, not to mention the cost of living, even Anin had to work for 5 months to be able to collect that much money, go to college and pay for Anin's boarding house" Anin said she hoped her mother would understand.

"I don't want to know, I need the money"

"Mom, maybe Anin can send money but with the usual amount Anin sent, if as I asked Anin did not have that much money".

"You're a child who doesn't know how much to profit from. Mom has worked hard to raise you even the value of money that I ask for will not be comparable to the magnitude of the struggle of mother raising you" Hardik Risa makes Anin's heart hurt.

Tears in Anin's pelupuk began to pool "Bu.not so Anin's intention" Anin's voice choked.

"Here you go, just wait for tomorrow" Risa turned off her phone feeling upset at Anin.

"Hiks.hiks .hiks.." Anin could not hold back her tears.

Anin sits her body in the balcony chair of Askara's room. Don't ask how Anin feels at this time, every time her mother calls Anin always ends in tears because Risa's words always manage to make her sad.

"If you're still here" Anin's voice rang out.

Askara who stood up earlier listened behind the balcony door Anin's conversation with someone she called 'Mother' successfully made her emotions peak.

Moreover, hearing Anin cry after the phone connection was closed made her angry.

Askara sliding the balcony door made Anin startled and hurriedly wiped away her tears.

"Sir Askara why are you here?" asked Anin without seeing Askara's face.

"This is still my room area" replied Askara taking a seat beside Anin.

Anin fell silent, she was not ready to argue with Askara.

"Is there anything you want to talk about?" ask Ask Askara makes Anin switch to look at him.

"What is Askara?" confused Anin.but the next second Anin realized something.

"Don't tell me Mr. Askara heard all my talk on the phone?" guess Anin doesn't believe it.

"Hemm, the balcony door is open a little and your voice is too loud so don't blame me if you hear everything" Askara said when he deliberately stole the listen.

Anin smiled bitterly "That's not an important thing"

"If it doesn't matter why are you crying?" ask Ask Askara to make Anin turn her face.

"I'm not crying" Anin denied, erasing the rest of her tears.

Long both of them were silent, Anin just stared blankly at the night view from where she was sitting.

"When my father died a year ago, my mother's attitude began to change especially to me" Anin began to open her voice, her little heart felt trust and wanted to tell Askara the thing she had been saying this year.

Askara stared at Anin's face from the side.she did not open her voice because she wanted to hear Anin tell her story.

"Every day my mother was always angry for no reason, even everything I did was wrong in my eyes. She always brings up her struggles raising you from small to this big". Anin took a breath for a moment, her chest tightened if she remembered all that.

"As long as I was in college and working in Jakarta, every time my mother called not to ask me for news but to ask for money sometimes in amounts that I could not afford, that's why until now I still insist on working because of Mom. Although sometimes I am confused by my mother's change, there is no longer a warm gaze that he used to give me as when Dad was still there" said Anin smiling bitterly.

"At first I didn't want to go to college, but because my father told me before he died I finally wanted to go to Jakarta and enroll with Vivi. Speaking of Vivi, she also helped me a lot during my time traveling to Jakarta which is why sometimes I can't refuse her request even though it's weird sometimes"

Askara listened carefully every story Anin, his heart suddenly felt sorry to hear the life story Anin who turned out to be very heavy.

"However, the toughest thing in my life isn't just that, Mr Askara you know? when I first learned that I was pregnant, I was angry and scared. I thought about how my mother reacted, how my college, my job, and also I was angry because I could not keep my father's mandate to be a respectable woman for my husband later. But in that state it didn't even cross my mind to obliterate or abort him" Anin rubbed her stomach which was now starting to bulge a little.

Anin cried, remembering everything that happened to her "I get angry sometimes, why only my life is like this, why can't I be like the people out there" Anin's voice trembled holding back her cry, she said, but no matter how hard he held back the dam of tears still escaped.

Askara pulls Anin's body into her arms. Askara felt the pain of Anin and she also contributed to the destruction of Anin's future.

"Sorry" is all that Askara can say, because the burden of Anin's life is increasing.

Anin's crying increasingly broke in Askara's arms. Currently she felt comfortable and wanted to vent her feelings that even Anin never convey to Vivi, her best friend.

Askara gently stroked Anin's black mane, making the girl dissolve in comfort.

The sound of regular breathing made Askara unravel a bit of her embrace, it turned out that Anin was asleep.

Askara lifts Anin's bridal style body into her room.

Askara's burly hands carried Anin's body onto his big bed.Anin layered his body slowly so as not to disturb the girl's sleep.

Askara wiped away the remaining traces of tears on Anin's face.

"I'm sorry, from now on I'll try to be the husband you deserve" Askara said pulling a blanket for Anin.

Afterwards, Askara returned to the balcony to take a sip of her cigarette. His thoughts tonight were filled with the life story of Anin who had just known.

Askara himself is confused by his feelings, lately he has been more able to accept the presence of Anin and also the child who is in his birth but still has great hopes for someone who is in the country of people.
