Because of a Dream

Part 15's. The Mystery that Is Exposed

One day the woman went out of town to take care of her business. Christine who was at breakfast suddenly heard the sound of falling objects. That voice was so loud. Like the sound of gucci being knocked and broken. So he stopped eating and went to find out. He went to the living room but everything was fine. Same with the other room when he saw it. Everything looks good.

Then she went back to the kitchen and continued eating. But just a moment later he sat down, and he heard another voice. He heard the sound of crying. Then followed by the sound of a blow on the wall. And that's many times. Suddenly she became afraid of being alone at home.

So he immediately got out of the house and contacted his stepmother, telling her all that. His mother immediately stopped her meeting with some of her employees after talking on the phone. He was worried that the boy he was holding was conscious and trying to escape. He feared that his crimes would be exposed and lost the trust of his adopted son.

Christine remained outside and faithfully stood in front of the gate awaiting the arrival of her mother. Even though he waited for hours there.

Then once his mother's car was seen from afar, he immediately ran to him without waiting for the car to stop first in front of his house. His mother stopped and told him to get in the car.

"Mom, I'm scared. I'm so scared." He hugged the woman tightly.

"Calm down son. Mom is here. I'll always protect you.Relax.

You see, I'll be home when you're scared like this?"

"Yes mom. Thankfully, my mother arrived quickly.

From now on, please don't leave me alone again at home."

"alright. Now we better get in. Yuk!" The reply then drove and arrived in front of his house.

Then after parking his car, his mother said again,

"Son, you better sleep now. Don't go anywhere. I'll check the whole room. You understand, right?"

"Well mom. I'm not going anywhere. Mother be careful dad. That sounds scary."

"alright. Remember. Don't come out of your room. Lock the door."

He didn't answer it anymore either. But immediately went to his room and locked the door as his mother had ordered.

After confirming Christine had entered her room and locked the door, the woman immediately descended into the secret room. He also slipped a knife in his shirt just in case the boy tried to fight him.

The woman became angry to see him and hit the boy in the face. Then she changed the rope with a chain and grabbed her hair. He said,

"You want to get out of here and destroy me?

You think you can do it? Son, I really feel sorry for you. You shouldn't feel all this if you also understand how I feel. Ah. I'm a fool. How can you understand how I feel when I never tell? But I don't think that's necessary. Tell you what, how about you get out of Christine's life, out of both of us? If you want, I'll get you out of here. But if you don't, I'll hurt you even more."

But the boy refused it. He even banged his head against the stake where he was tied until his head was bleeding to confirm that he would rather die than be away from his sister.

The woman was increasingly furious to see his actions and lost patience until he hit the child until it bled. Then he said again,

"Please don't test my patience. I don't want to hurt anyone anymore. All this time I've been fighting hard for a normal life. I have been waiting for a princess for years. I know, I could've adopted her from an orphanage. But I found nothing pleasing in my heart. Until I saw Christine coming to my house. Her face is similar to my daughter's. Look at that statue. He's my son. I didn't want to bury him because I didn't want his body to be destroyed. He suffered a bad fate because of his own father. That jerk was playing fun with another woman and had a child with her. But instead of apologizing, he got mad at me and pushed me down and my son was thrown out of my hand while I was carrying him. His head hit so badly that he died. I also did not stay silent to see all that. When he turned around, I immediately attacked him with a pair of scissors. Stabbed his back many times until he died. Then I buried her in my backyard, where you used to clean that flower garden. Since then I have hated every man. Because he took away what I've been waiting for a long time. But if you keep pushing, I'll make Christine's fate exactly that. Become statues. So that we don't have it together."

The boy was no longer able to insist on maintaining his will after hearing the woman's threat. For him, it was better to give up and let his sister stay with him than to see the mad woman kill and preserve his sister.

So after getting certainty, the woman immediately left him and set up a strategy to release him. But he made a pact with the boy.

**********

The next day, the woman tells Christine to go shopping so she has a chance to free the boy.

"Son, our food supply is running out. Can you go to the market to buy it? Buy and make some food stocks according to this list. And if the money's left over, you can use it to buy what you want. Go now, son."

Christine left without asking much. Then the woman quickly returned to the secret room to release the boy. But he also brought a plate of food for her so that her strength would recover so that she could escape.

"Let's eat first. But you have to be quick. Because you don't have much time. Christine just went to the market for a while. And I don't want you still here when he comes back. I don't want him to see you. Especially in such conditions. He's almost forgotten about you because I've kept him occupied with all his desires.

Go as far as possible. I'll also give you some money to get away from here. Remember that! I did all this because you brought Christine to me."

So with a very disappointed and tearful heart, the boy vowed never to return.

Then after he finished his meal and received the money, he immediately went through the back door.
