Being a Night Butterfly

TMKM-24

"So you lost the gamble!" snapped the Goddess while glaring sharply.

Fatih was silent for a moment and looked agitated due to the slip. Though previously he planned to hide from the Goddess. He had to find an excuse so that the Goddess would not be angry with him. 

"Mom, that guy is sneaky. He wanted to destroy me because of the damned woman's influence!" Fatih is still defending himself. Hope the mother will not be too angry and disappointed. 

"Syny or not. Doesn't it mean when you lose, it means you lose? What about this house, Tih? How!" The goddess could no longer hold back tears. Can't imagine what if he had to be evicted from this house. Her ex-husband's estate is the only treasure she has.

"I'm gonna get this house certificate back, ma'am. You take it easy."

"Quiet down? You told me to calm down when things got this complicated? I don't know, how you think!" The goddess looked at her son with disappointment.

"Mom, I don't know what else to do either. So, you better shut up don't add to my mind!" jolt Fatih unconsciously.

No doubt a slap landed on the man's cheek. Fatih was fixated while holding her cheek which felt heated. This was the first slap that the Goddess had given him. Fatih looked at her mother with a pity, but Fatih could clearly see her mother's tightened jaw. How emotional she is now.

"But I don't want to know! Whatever way you have to be able to take back the certificate of this house! If you can't, I'll never forgive you!" 

Brak! 

Dewi slammed the door of the room tightly to make Fatih surprised. After seeing the anger of his mother, Fatih could only rub his face roughly like a frustrated person. He realized that his life was in ruin.

Just watch out for you, Mel. I don't take all this. I will repay him more grievously than I feel. You fucking woman! 

Fatih's hands were tightly clenched. Then he decided to leave the house to calm down.

"Mom, where are we? Whose house is that? Why like a palace?" atha asked stunned when she saw Theo's luxurious house. 

"This is Uncle Theo's house, honey." Melinda commented on the smile when she saw her son's face that looked sparkling happily. 

"Well, that's huge, Mom. Is there a swimming pool in it? Is there such a big TV in the movies?" Atha is getting chatty. 

"of course. Later you will know for yourself if you have entered there and you can assume this house is your own home," said Theo joined the discussion of mother and child. Hearing Theo's reply, Atha immediately pranced in excitement. 

After the car stopped right in front of the main door, they rushed in. True as previously thought, Atha looked very carefree and admired whatever was in Theo's house. Seeing her son's smile that had expanded since, Melinda was unable to hold back her tears. 

When they had finished surrounding the house to please Atha, Theo asked them to immediately rest in a room that had been prepared in advance. 

"There's something I want to talk about, sir." Melinda hesitates. Theo who saw it immediately took Melinda to his room and asked one of the servants to accompany the boy. 

Upon arrival in the room, Theo immediately locked the door because he did not want anyone to interfere with their conversation later. 

"What's wrong?" ask Theo. Sit back in bed and ask the woman to sit in front of him. 

"Sir, I'm just confused as to why you're this good to me. We were two strangers who did not know each other. If you can answer honestly, don't you have any specific intentions for me?" melinda asked no longer withholding suspicion. 

"There certainly is." Theo answered quickly. Melinda looked up and looked at Theo full of probing. Theo who saw Melinda's gaze immediately waited for a smile. "My intention is to help you escape the suffering you've been through." 

The answer again made Melinda dumbfounded. "But I can't fully believe this." 

"Why? You don't have to ask anything. Trust me that I'm helping you sincerely and there's no bad intention whatsoever." Theo held onto Melinda's two shoulders and forced the woman to look at her. 

"But, Mister. I can't fully believe this. I can't believe there's a good man who's willing to help me out of my suffering. I am just a poor and dirty woman. Very inversely related to you, sir. In fact, we are like the earth and the sky are very different." Melinda kept talking. His heart could not calm down if it had not received a definite answer. 

Theo turned to sit leaning against the head of the bed. Then looked at Melinda very fixedly while breathing deeply many times. "I don't know for sure why I can help you. My heart is moved when I see all your suffering. There's such a strong sense in my chest that it's asking me to help you escape suffering." 

"But, Mr ...." 

"In fact, I've felt that since our first meeting. So, you don't think too far about this. I'm sure you've been praying to God for all your suffering to end. So, let's just say this is your prayer that God has granted." Theo tried to silence their conversation. Not wanting if the further the conversation, Theo could not help himself. 

"Yes. I feel that way too. You are an angel sent by God to help me. Thank you very much." Melinda smiled knot. It makes the heart beat very fast. 

He was fascinated by this woman again. 

"Yes, you don't have to thank me all the time. I helped you sincerely." 

Melinda got up and said goodbye from there. 

"Wait!" theo shouted, stopping Melinda's steps that were almost at the doorstep. Melinda turned around and looked at the man. "There's something I want to tell you again." 

"What, Master?" 

"Actually I ...."
