Being a Night Butterfly

TMKM 12

Fatih looked up then looked at Melinda very sharply as if she was about to skin the woman alive. Seeing her husband's gaze instantly made Melinda look down deeply, her body seemed to tremble as cold sweat began to drench her face.

He knew he couldn't survive now.

Sure enough, after a few seconds Melinda felt her body being pulled very strongly. Mercilessly Fatih directly dragged Melinda into the room, while the Goddess who saw that immediately took Atha away. Didn't want the boy to get in the way of Fatih who was about to beat up his wife who he thought was rude.

"Sir, Atha wants to be with mom," cried Atha as she continued to wrangle. It seemed to understand that his mother was in a bad state. Seeing how earlier Melinda cried and Fatih dragged down mercilessly.

"You shut up! Your mother's gone too far for not coming home all night. So, you better shut up or I won't hesitate to tear your mouth out!" threaten the Goddess without feeling. He did not realize that what was done could have damaged Atha's mentality. However, the Goddess did that because she was too dizzy to hear the cry of Atha who was like about to break the eardrum.

Meanwhile, Melinda sat on the floor, right next to the mattress. Hugging his own body that felt crumpled. Not only the former love last night, but also the grip of Fatih's hand that will crush his bones.

"I'm sorry, Mom. Anyway, what do you care about me for," Melinda said.

Plaque! 

A slap landed on Melinda's cheek. Leaving a red scar that feels hot as blood flows. 

"You! Never test my patience. Tell me where you went from last night!" Fatih heartlessly gripped Melinda's shirt as if to strangle the woman. His gaze looked full of anger was much different from that of the pitiful-looking Melinda.

"I work." Melinda. However, the grip of Fatih's hand grew stronger.

"You! You've already dared to lie to me! You said work?" Fatih asked with great emphasis. "You think I'm stupid! I've come to your place of work and Aunt Sisca says you're permission, where are you! Ha!"

Melinda was silent while breathing deeply. His mind was as if it was torn unceremoniously. Facing a hard and rough Fatih made him feel like giving up. However, there was still Atha that he had to fight for. 

"It's none of your business, Mom."

Fatih was eager to strangle his wife, but a sly smile was seen from the corner of his lips. "If you work, you have money. Now, give me that money!"

"Nothing, Mom." Melinda hugged her bag very tightly as Fatih attempted to snatch.

"Give, Brengs*k!" Fatih kept pushing. Asking so harshly even with a stand Fatih hit Melinda again and grabbed the bag.

The man ransacked Melinda's bag. Then his smile expanded when he saw a hundred thousand note that was quite a lot. His face looked bright when he saw the red sheets of money. 

"Don't, Mum! It's for Atha's treatment." Melinda pleads. His face was full of tears. However, this did not make Fatih feel pity. "Mas, listen to me. The money was for Atha's treatment. Don't take everything." 

"Huh! Tomorrow you'll get another one too." 

"Mas! You don't be like this." 

Melinda no longer knew what to do for her husband to come to his senses. According to him, Fatih has gone too far. 

"Give you three hundred grand." Fatih gave three pieces of money a hundred thousand and then again scrambled Melinda's bag. Maybe there's still money in there. However, it was not a sheet of money received by him, but rather a business card. 

Fatih read the name listed there and glanced sharply at his wife. His eyes were full of suspicion. "What's the business card?" 

"Java!" sela Fatih snapped to make Melinda squealed in surprise. However, whatever the anger of Fatih, Melinda remained silent. Not answering at all until finally Fatih became inflamed. "Tell me who the owner of this business card is. Are you cheating behind my back!" 

Injured was already inner Melinda heard the clashing and the accusation. Her tears bore witness to how hurt the woman was to the point of no longer being able to speak. Though Melinda had tried to wipe, but the clear circle as if to invite jokes. 

"Basically you're a cheap woman!" 

Fatih tore the business card and threw it in Melinda's face. After that, he left the woman alone. No matter though Melinda had already pleaded and requested that Fatih return the money she took. 

Lord, to what extent will you test my patience. Please, I'm tired of having to go on like this.

Melinda also stopped her crying when she felt her heart had begun to be relieved. He had to clean up and clean up so that when Atha came home, he could pretend that everything was fine. 

****

"Well, you're amazing, Fatih. You're unemployed, but you can gamble with a bet that we think is big enough," said one of Fatih's opponents. 

"Shut up, we better play." Fatih was upset. Do not like to mince words to them because they think their pride has been stepped on by them all. 

"Wow, that's amazing!" 

The sound of applause was heard echoing in the room. 

"I like you who are this spirit," he said half-literate. 

Fatih put money on the table. He played carefully and carefully. Anyway, he has to win now.  His smile slowly expanded when he saw his opponent looking confused and doubtful. He also felt more confident that the victory that had been anticipated would come today. However, it seemed like it was just a despair that would never be real. 

"You're losing! Haha." 

Again, Fatih had to lose. The man rubbed his face roughly. He returned frustrated. The money from Melinda was taken by the man. Fatih tried to hold back, but he actually got a punch in the face. 

"Go you! Already lost, don't make a mess here!" they snapped and dragged Fatih out of the gambling place. 

The man was furious. His anger went up to the crown. His head was boiling and almost exploding. Fatih no longer knew what to do until he decided to go home.

Upon arrival at home, there was only Melinda who was sound asleep, while the Goddess was going to meet Atha. Without mercy, Fatih immediately pulled Melinda's body to make the woman jerk and grimace in pain because it hit the wall quite tight. 

"Maas ...." 

"Fuckin' woman!" fatih was very loud. Then clutching Melinda's chin so firmly. Seeing the look in her husband's eyes filled with flashes of anger, Melinda immediately swallowed her hard-earned saliva. 

"What's the matter, Mom?" ask Fatih to vent. 

"Why? You ask me why? I lost a gamble and it's because of you, Jal*ng!" Fatih threw out his chin with a very strong movement. "You are a fucking lady!"
