Being a Night Butterfly

TMKM 13

"Mas, I'm tired of living with you." Melinda spoke softly between heartbreaking sobs. "Until when will you continue to be this cruel? What's wrong with you, Mas." 

Melinda looks up. Staring at Fatih sharply even though the look of his eyes looks full of solitude. Meanwhile, Fatih, just grieving and not feeling guilty at all. 

"Then you want a divorce?" ask Fatih half-stomping. Melinda was weak. Fatih directly crouched down and bristled*s the woman's chin very strongly. "You must remember one thing that until at any time, I will never divorce you, remember that!" 

"What's going on?" ask Dewi to join when the atmosphere is hot. 

Melinda could only close her mouth. Can only resign because he is sure after this he will be more injured. She knows how her mother-in-law is. 

"Due, Mother. Your son-in-law," on Fatih.

"Why? Trouble again?" The goddess cast a cynical look. Fatih told a made-up story as if Melinda was the most guilty here. "Here is the cheap woman." 

"Mom, who's the belaguer? It was me until you hated me so much" Melinda tried to defend herself even though she eventually realized she would still lose. 

"Loh, aren't you cheap? Have items can be used by anyone," scorned Goddess. 

"Even if you're cheap, you should realize, Mom. With my job you can keep eating, Atha can treat even Mas Fatih can still gamble. If you're going to blame, what you're supposed to blame is your son! Not me!" Melinda spoke excitedly as tears flowed. 

Plaque! 

Fatih again slapped Melinda with all her might. Until the corner of the woman's lips looked bluish. 

"You are so insolent!" 

"Mr! Don't hurt mom!" shout Atha. The boy ran hard and hugged his mother very tightly. Refrain from getting Fatih to hit the woman again. 

"Go you little boy! It's none of your business!" fatih. 

"Atha does not want to! Atha won't let me hurt mom." The boy fearlessly stood in front of Melinda and stretched out his arms to protect his mother. It also made Melinda feel overwhelmed. 

Fatih and Dewi chose to leave because there was no way they would hurt Atha. Although they now hate Melinda, Atha is their only son and grandson. 

"Darling, thank you so much for protecting me." Melinda hugged Atha very tightly and was immediately reciprocated by the boy. 

"Don't Atha say she won't let anyone hurt you, Mom. Even my grandmother and father." Atha spoke confidently.

Melinda also tightened her arms. 

If it wasn't for you, I would have given up a long time ago.

Theo sat down uneasily. Staring at the flat object lying on the table. It has been a few days since his life continues to feel unsettled because of waiting for news. He thought, after a hot romance, Melinda would come to him and hold him accountable. However, it turns out that his guess was wrong. The woman did not come to him at all or just give news through a message. 

Indeed, it was only this first time that he was made agitated just because he was waiting for news of a woman, after she closed the door of his heart. For some reason, Theo felt Melinda was very different. 

Theo contacted the owner of the nightclub and asked if he had a business card and two million dollars left on the nightstand after he had stayed, but the waiter there said that none. After Theo left, only Melinda came out of the room and there was nothing on the nightstand. In fact, all the servants there until swearing to Theo. 

"Well!" Theo sigh*hkan breathing into the air roughly. "Who are you really? Why can you make me this sad." 

Theo ruffled his hair like a frustrated person. Then he decided to go to the nightclub. He asked for CCTV footage there even more when Theo pulled Melinda into the room. Afterwards, Theo asks his men to find information about Melinda. 

"I should have hidden your phone back then so you could come to me" Theo said regretfully. 

He soon returned home and waited for news from his men. In his heart hope that they will soon get information about Melinda.

"Mom, are you going to work?" atha asked as Melinda prepared to leave for Aunt Sisca. 

"of course. We still need a lot of money to get well, honey." Melinda answered softly. 

"But, Mum. Atha still wants to be with Mom. What if Atha doesn't need treatment and we have plenty of time to play together." Atha smiled after giving an idea. 

Melinda smiled wryly as she rubbed the top of her son's head. "You must continue to seek treatment so as to heal quickly. Now I have to go, promise me that you'll be fine at home with your dad and grandma." 

After peeping the top of Atha's head, Melinda immediately went online. In fact, when he crossed paths with Dewi and Fatih, he only looked up and did not say hello at all. The heartache of the attitude of the two of them was still so fierce and hurtful. 

Melinda accidentally went down a considerable distance from Aunt Sisca's place. Nobody wants to know that she's a night woman. However, while he was walking he felt like someone was following behind. Melinda turned her head several times, but there was no one behind her. Melinda's body shuddered in horror because of that and she immediately quickened her pace. 

"That's right!" 

Melinda flinched when she heard the sound from behind. Melinda turned around and again found no one behind. In the end, Melinda chose to run all the way to Aunt Sisca's place. 

"What's the matter, Mel?" tanya Aunt Sisca was astonished to see Melinda coming with a gasp. Like someone who has been chased by demons. 

"No papa, Tan. I just felt like someone was following me."  Melinda answered. 

Aunt Sisca shook her head when she heard it. "Maybe it's just your feelings. You better get dressed and get ready. Soon there will be someone wearing your services." 

Melinda nodded then went into the room to change clothes. He reflected. Looking at her pathetic self-reflection. The bruise on the corner of the lip was still clearly visible, but Melinda tried to cover using a foundation. 

You have to be patient, Mel. God never sleeps and believe that one day you will have happiness.

Melinda closed her eyes while breathing deeply. 

Hopefully .....
