Being a Connecting Mother

Flashbacks

Surely that's according to the plan of the old man who will buy Adira.

The night passed with no memory of the night I went through. When I woke up in the morning what I saw was an irony where the naked and worsted innocent body was a man lying on the bed with me in the crowd of people in the room somewhere this place I don't know either.

“ We can not tolerate this perverted action!! ” shouted people

Looking around looking at the angry faces of the crowd my head came back buzzing, breath choking not knowing what to do and saying what.

“ It could be a newcomer making a disgrace to a girl from our village!! You must be responsible to this girl!! ”

I could see the man was just as confused as I was but the difference was that he seemed to remain calm in the middle of the crowd who might soon be stoning him with stones.

“ Ahh!! My daughter! Hiks..hiks..my innocent daughter how could she experience this cruel thing!! ” without warning my stepmother ran towards me hugging me while tightening the blanket to cover my body as if someone was protecting.

I was just stunned to see this woman's play because everything that happened was her doing, but how could I fight back if things were like this? Am I still gonna be okay? What the hell happened that night? Not a single bit can I digest this situation.

“ Damn man!! Help us this man has raped my daughter!! ”

Those people immediately dragged the man out by force.

“ She must be shaken, you better take care of her first. Too bad this kid has to experience it ”

“ Yes it's okay we will protect you, you mother will please wear her clothes ”

The women repeatedly expressed the taste of her mother, and my stepmother welcomed her with no less sad acting. Finally in the room left only me and my stepmother.

“ The plan is very messed up who the guy is hopefully he can give us money ” holy decik upset.

“ What else are you waiting for! Quickly put on your useless clothes and you give your body to the man if he can't afford it! ”

“ Whom the man is ” my grunts are restrained because to cry alone I can no longer, it feels like my soul has been torn from this body.

“ Where do I know! Berengs*k it came out of nowhere even make a mess!! ”

It's true that he's not the old businessman I'm going to marry according to their plans, then who's that guy?

After I finished wearing my clothes back I was immediately taken to a room.

“ Come here son..what sins have I done until my daughter has to suffer this much..hikss ” My father pulled me beside him with the same trick as my stepmother.

“ Son do you know that man? ” asked a gentle old man to me like he was one of the elders in this village.

“ No..” I replied.

“ Do you know what happened until it happened to you? ”

“ No ”

“ Did that man force you or you to be kidnapped? ”

“ I don't know because I'm completely unconscious ” I replied after being silent for a while.

Glancing for a moment at the man I could see his sharp gaze, but in the slightest I did not tell a lie because not the slightest bit of cliche of the memory of the incident was in my memory.

“ Then how can you be in that place too you don't know? ”

I shook my head slowly.

“ Continue we have to how to solve this case, if the victim just does not remember the incident ” said another village elder.

“ What how! Of course this man has to pay damages and take responsibility for my daughter!! ” interrupted my father with anger.

I wanted to scream to tell her that both my parents had deceived those who planned all this, but how could I have done that if only the man had actually raped me.

How is my fate next? I need accountability, too.

“ I just lay in the room that has been prepared for me then suddenly the girl was there ” very calm answer without the slightest burden, the cold aura of the man was able to make everyone in this room speechless and just be a good listener.

“ How can we believe this girl is lying in your bed, while she is unconscious and also in a long state*ng like that. You have obviously done such a profanity to this girl, do you admit it? ”

“ Yes ” he said briefly and that one word can make the self-defense that I built so far collapsed, slowly it feels pain spread through my chest. My eyes ached as the clear circles fell, I muffled my sobs by tightly clenching my hands.

Furthermore, the room was boisterous with the anger of the people, because it was proven that the man had harassed me.

* * *

Within an hour on the grounds of not being able to let his guard down gave the man a chance to escape his responsibilities, I've been standing in a white dress just making a wedding vow with the man.

Zein Brown's

I just found out the name of the man who had become my husband after being asked to sign a marriage license, I think the man also just found out my name.

It even seemed like the person who didn't care or feel guilty when the wedding was over he immediately came out leaving me alone.

“ Adira ”

I turned towards the voice that came to me, it turned out to be my stepmother.

“ You're a big lucky fool stop that pitiful face of yours, you know the man you married turned out to be a big businessman ”

I just smiled screeching with disgust at the happiness on his face for selling me.

“ How much money did that man give you? ”

“ Bigger than we thought she was willing to pay 500 million as compensation even though she was already willing to marry you hahahhaha really durian collapsed ”

I just kept quiet to let her finish her laugh.

“ 500 million I think is a suitable price to pay for raising me during this ”.

“ Very enough I feel happy you are able to return the favor and will not even be a burden to me anymore ”

“ Good thing because from today I have no relationship with you, you are no longer my stepmother and there is no debt between us because I have paid you ”

I stepped up leaving him

“ You think I care, I'm glad I didn't get in touch with you anymore you're just a burden I grew up remembering that! ”

“ Never appear before me as if we have had a relationship or know each other ” I said with emphasis for the last time.

I cannot repay what they have done to me, consider me a failure because I have no choice but to follow the path.

“ May your family prosper and your children school well, Father ” I whisper slowly to my father.

“ What do you mean? ” .

“ For the last time right now I will call you Dad, the compensation money of 500 million is not enough as a payment for your services that have raised me so far ”

“ Adira! ”

My father's rude way of calling my name sounds like it's normal.

“ From today I am no longer your daughter and you are no longer my father. If you meet me please assume we do not know each other or have had a previous relationship ”

“ Yes already gone! You think I'm short of kids, besides the guy's gonna take me away and I'm so happy for that. Then I don't need to live anymore ”

I walked while hearing the words that came from my father, even to the end he was expecting me to leave. I feel it's good because my determination is getting stronger to be free from their restraints even though I don't know what I'm going to face with that man?
