The disappointment that Daffin had put in my heart had made a gaping hole there. My anger feels like a volcano ready to spit out its lava. However, I have to endure all of that until the time comes. For now, I will put my feelings aside for Shaka's recovery.
The tears that started to dry on my cheeks had at least reduced the tightness in my chest. With one long breath, I tried to stand up and face the mirror.
The puffy eyes with messy hair and also slightly tangled clothes made me look very miserable.
"No, Ayasya! Don't be weak! If you cry, it's the same as you admit defeat to that female octopus." I stared at the reflection of my face in the mirror like the other person.
Even though my heart still hurts so much, I still have to deal with this. I'm not going to let that female octopus spray her black ink into my life again.
BYUURR ...
I washed my face so quickly that my whole face was washed away. I rushed out of the bathroom and saw Rania still in my room with a worried face.
"Mrs ...," Rania stepped closer to me.
"Help me change my clothes, Rania! And yes, has Ersya gone home?" I asked as I walked towards the walk in closet regardless of Rania's anxious gaze.
Rania's footsteps were heard following me. "Mr Ersya is still here, Madam, but the detective you called you has left."
I nodded in understanding. "Oh, okay! Come on, help me!"
Rania stepped past me and opened the closet containing a row of luxurious dresses that had been prepared by Daffin, almost like a boutique.
"Please, Madam," said Rania as she turned to face me.
"Just choose which one you think is good for me! Choose a dress that is slightly open!" my word, without paying attention to the look on Rania's face.
While Rania chose clothes for me, I was busy playing my phone and contacting someone.
"Hallo, Lily," Someone's voice across the line.
"Hallo, Om, can you help me?"
***
My feet slowly climbed the stairs. Down there, I saw Daffin still having a conversation with Ersya. Not far from where they were, there was a father and mother talking.
"Lily ...," call dad, as soon as I go to mom and dad.
I hugged my father briefly. "When are you coming, Dad?"
"Just now, dear," replied the father and then looked at me sharply. "Where are you going, Lily?" tanyakanya.
My lips are smiling. "I want to see Shaka's condition and meet Rei's om, Dad."
"What!!!"
Suddenly I was startled by Daffin's scream. When I looked, I saw him walking towards me.
"Why didn't you tell me? Didn't you say you were tired? Then why do you want to go see Dr. Reinhard now?" daffin asked, his eyes so sharp.
Facing this view with him, made me recall what Daffin had done to me. His jealousy is like salt sprinkled on my wounds. His possessiveness does not go hand in hand with his love principles.
"I'm tired. It's true! But now I'm not tired. I was thinking maybe Shaka would be happy if I visited him. And I met with Rei. After all, there are things I should talk to my beloved om." I returned Daffin's sharp gaze with a cynical smile. "Dad, Mom, I'm leaving now. Don't wait for me to have dinner! Maybe I'll have dinner at the hospital." I said as I stepped past Daffin.
My feet haven't even stepped away from Daffin, but Daffin's big hand has held my hand. He even clutched my hand so tightly that I almost grimaced, but I was lucky I managed to hide it.
"Change clothes! I'll wait here!" tell Daffin to be flat with his cold face.
I tried to hold back my emotions and smiled wryly. "Why should I replace it? It's so pretty and I love it."
Daffin's hand grips grew tighter as his eyes rested on my open shoulder. "Don't test my patience, Mrs Stevano!"
What say? I tested his patience? Huh! The truth is he's trying to stir up my anger again.
My breath roared as I held back my emotions, but I still drew a smile on the corner of my lips despite being so forced.
"Therefore, Daffin, do not continue to be patient in facing me! Just let go of all your anger! I'm used to it." My hand brushed off Daffin's big hand.
"Come, Rania!" I turned around and stepped away from Daffin and approached Ersya. "Sister, are you still here? If not, can you take me? I think it seems like my husband is busy with all his secrets." I quipped.
Ersya stood up and looked at me. "Sure! I'll drive you."
I smiled happily. "Then, come on!"
My footsteps went hand in hand with Ersya, while Rania walked behind us.
"Wait, Mrs Stevano!" shouted Daffin, his giant body is already in front of me.
I looked at Ersya and Rania. "You go first, I'll catch up!"
After Rania and Ersya came out, I looked at Daffin who was already filled with anger. If only mom and dad weren't here, I'm sure he would have done something no-no.
"What does all this mean?" ask Daffin flat.
"What do you think? Isn't your brain big?" reply relax.
Daffin grabbed my hand, but I immediately brushed it off until he clucked. "Say what my mistake is?"
"You're never wrong, Daffin! I'm the one who's always guilty." My feet are ready to step.
"If you get out of this house, I'll never ask you to come back!" threaten Daffin's.
Like an arrow shot through my heart, I lost my life right now. It turns out the man I love never really loved me. The proof was that she easily told me that while I was pregnant with her son. She thinks I'm scared? Huh! I'm not scared! He started it! It would be very disappointing if I didn't serve him.
"Finally ...," I exhaled a rough breath. "You let me go too!" my firmness.
"Lilly!!! Daffins!!!" I shouted, and half ran to me. "What are you guys doing?" ask mom to panic.
Father and mother looked confusedly at me and Daffin, but I insisted on remaining silent.
"Maya, I just" Daffin couldn't finish his words because mom immediately raised her hand and slapped Daffin in the face.
POSTER ...
A voice that lights the ears. Where my father and I could only gape at the unexpected attitude of the mother.
"Sorry, Daffin! I do love you and consider you my son, but I won't stay silent if you hurt my daughter." Mom took my hand. "If Lily's guilty, I'll shut up. However, if Lily is innocent, I won't just stand by watching you treat her like this! You want Lily to go? All right, I'll take him to his father's house. Maybe I should have done this a long time ago." I pulled my hand to follow him.
"Wait a minute, Maya! I didn't mean to ask him to leave. I'm just trying to hold it." Daffin spread his hand to block our path.
This time, I don't know why I didn't want to say anything. Unlike usual where I would continue to babble is unclear even without direction, but this situation is very different. My mother's anger surprised me. All this time, I've never once been angry with either me or Daffin. Her anger was scary even though she didn't scream like I used to when I was angry.
"You held Lily down just to hurt her! You're not even trying to figure out what made your wife behave like that. Don't you hate Reyno's attitude of never finding out the truth? Why are you doing the same thing now? You let me down, Daffin!" sergeant mother.
Daffin lowered his head. "Sorry, Maya ...."
"You're innocent to me, Daffin! You're guilty of Lily. As long as you don't get her sorry, with a heavy heart I can't let Lily to stay with you." Mom pushed Daffin's body to the side.
Miraculously, Daffin's towering, giant-like body shifted even though the mother pushed him with little energy.
Before I stepped out, I had a chance to meet Daffin. In my heart, I screamed, cried, and thrashed. Lamenting the fate of the household as well as my first love which ran aground due to Daffin's non-openness to me.
"Dad ..," said Daffin as he confronted his father.
I looked around and saw Dad touching Daffin's shoulder. "Call her heart! Then I'll pave the way for you."
