From that day on, the woman kept Christine busy so that she would never mention her brother or want to see him. Whatever it is, his mother is willing to do it. Not only buying the idol's album, even the clothes and accessories that his idol wears, he tried to buy to distract Christine every time she intended to meet her brother.
That way, the woman can freely vent her frustration on the boy who is bound in the secret room.
Her mother also told Christine to learn a foreign language so that if possible, she could greet her idol later when she met the fans.
So while Christine was busy studying with her teacher, her mother quietly went down to the secret room to see the state of the boy. He lit a candle as a light. He was afraid that if he turned on the lights, the light would radiate all the way outside.
Then he brought the candle close to the boy's bound face until the hot melt hit the skin of his face. I hope it will wake him up.
But the boy was unconscious. Although there was already a lot of hot melt on his face. Then she tried a second way to wake him up. He took an iron claw that looked like a crab claw and then stamped the boy's hand until it bled. But the boy did not wake up either.
So the woman left the child and burned the incense and placed it in front of the statue of her daughter. Then he wrote on a piece of paper a plea so that one day the life of his adopted daughter did not fate the same as his biological child. But long-lived and always happy. He also wrote down his desire to live a normal life without the shadow of hatred.
After writing the request, he then rolled it up and put it in a glass bottle and placed it next to the burning incense.
Then he spoke to his daughter's statue.
"Son, now mom is very happy. Even if you're not with mom. But I've found your replacement.
Mother's job now is to separate her from this boy.
I don't want anyone, especially men, to separate her from me. Just like your father separated you from your mother forever. That's why I hated him and killed him. Also because of her, the mother often sees her reflection in every male dealing with the mother.
The man has now become a land in the backyard of the house. And become fertilizer for frangipani flowers that mom planted. But you don't let mom get destroyed. Because I love you so much."
After that he went to the boy again and spoke,
"What should I do to you? Should I let you die rotting here and make this room stink? Nah! I can't let you stay here forever.
But if I tell you to stay out of our lives, you won't want to. And me, I can't leave this house just to get away from a useless boy like you.
This house holds many memories and hatred.
Then what am I supposed to do?
Say it!
Say it!
Or, should I blind your eyes so you can't see us anymore?
No. gabe. I'm not a cruel person. I'm gonna let you go and ask you to leave well."
He was furious when he spoke to the boy. Then after saying all her words, the woman immediately went back upstairs and went to see Christine.
"Son, how did you learn today? Did you enjoy it?" Ask lovingly.
"Yes mom. The lesson was fun. Easily comprehended. The teacher explained it in a simple way."
"It's good that you enjoy it.
Son, please make me a warm cup of tea for you." He pretended to be sick to get his attention.
"Maybe mom's work-weary. Hopefully later after tea, mom gets better."
Then he immediately went and brewed the tea and gave it to his mother.
"This is the tea. Christine went to the room first, ma'am."
"Well." yeah." Reply with a brief smile.
As she drank the tea bit by bit, the woman kept thinking how to get rid of the boy forever without having to kill him. But in his own willingness. The woman was determined not to dirty her hands again by eliminating anyone again.
**********
In the morning, when Christine went to the supermarket, she accidentally stopped by her sister's house. When he got there, someone met him and told him that his brother had not come home for a week. He was surprised to hear it too.
"Where did my brother go for a week? Yesterday mom said she met her friend. Wh who? During my stay with my brother, I never saw him have any friends." Ask in the heart.
So he went home and talked to his mother because he thought she didn't hate him anymore.
"Mom, just before I got home, I stopped by my sister's house. But the people said there, it's been a week he's not home. Ever since we invited him to eat, brother never came home. Mom said she'd met her friend. But I don't think it's possible for a week. And as far as I know, brother has no friends."
The woman was shocked to hear it. But he tried to stay calm.
"Well, I don't know for sure. But your brother said that yesterday. Well we'll just wait. Who knows, tomorrow your brother's home. Don't fret. It could be that your sister does have friends but has not had the chance to tell you. And maybe he's living with his friend now."
"But if he leaves, he'll usually tell me ma'am."
"It could be because he was in a hurry, he forgot."
"But he doesn't usually. Not even the neighbors know where she is."
"That's it. He will also be home.
Just wait and don't worry.
Look at the state of my mother now. I'm not well."
"I'm sorry ma'am. Because I'm too worried I'm not paying attention to you."
"It's okay. It's because you love your sister so much. But you love me too, don't you, son? I've done a lot for you."
"certain ma'am. I'm so grateful to have such a good mother."
"Well already. You can go to your room. Mom, I'm gonna take a break. We will eat out later tonight. I'm not well enough to cook tonight."
So Christine went to her room and sat pensively in her bed thinking about her sister. While the woman was also busy looking for a way to get the child out and get rid of it forever.
