Being a Night Butterfly

TMKM-28S

"So, that's his life story? It's also sad, as it turns out," Wijaya said after hearing Zul—'s story about Melinda's horrible life. 

"Yes, Sir. Although the house was about to be replaced in the name of Miss Melinda, but the man and his mother still live there because Young Master Theo has not taken care of it," he explained. 

"I really can't believe Theo got that far. What was the special about the woman that night? Wasn't she a dirty woman who was clearly not comparable to my family." Vijaya complained again. I still don't think about what Theo did. If Melinda wasn't a night woman, maybe Wijaya would reconsider. 

"Maybe that woman is a kind and sincere woman. Apart from her a lady of the night. Moreover, she was forced to become a prostitute because of her son's treatment. Plus her husband who likes to gamble." Zul spoke cautiously fearing that Wijaya would get angry. 

"Then let me meet the man. Looks like I'll have to work with him." Vijaya rose followed by the others. After that, Zul drove Wijaya to meet Fatih.

"You who?" fatih asked as Wijaya stood in the doorway. 

"Let me go in first." Vijaya ruled with great emphasis. However, it did not make Fatih feel afraid. He stood and held the door because he was worried that Wijaya was Theo's man who wanted to expel him. "Open the door!" 

Wijaya snaps. Fatih is stubborn. Zul who was getting impatient immediately pushed Fatih tightly without being told by Wijaya. Then he told his master to come in. 

Seeing Wijaya sitting in a haughty style on the sofa, Fatih could only snort violently and then sit in front of the man. His gaze looked fierce without any fear. Meanwhile, the sickly Goddess immediately came out of the room when she heard like there was a commotion. 

"You who?" ask Fatih in a high enough tone. 

"You don't need to know who I am. Are you Melinda's husband, the night woman who seduced my son?" Wijaya asked back. Fatih who had looked challenging was now surprised. In fact, directly staring at Wijaya with full investigation. 

"meaning?" ask Fatih to make sure because he is worried about misunderstanding. 

"I am Theo's father." Wijaya answered lazily. 

The Goddess and Fatih looked confused. "Have you come here to take this house?" Goddesses worry. Not ready if you have to get out of the house although sooner or later it will happen. Especially now that he was often sick from too many thoughts. 

"Of course not. I'm just gonna help you get this house back." Wijaya smiled cunningly. This made the two men flinch. 

"Are you serious, sir?" Fatih asked in disbelief. 

"of course. Why I lied. If you don't believe it, we can sign it on the stamp. I'll give you this house again, provided you find Melinda's whereabouts and make sure she goes as far away from Theo's life as possible. Make sure Theo can't find it at all." Wijaya grinned. Feeling satisfied because Fatih is a very easy person to use. 

"Didn't Melinda live with Theo?" Fatih was astonished and did not fully believe in Vijaya. He also felt wary of the man for fear of being cheated again just like what Theo did. 

"The woman was gone a week ago. I'm worried that Theo might find her someday. You can do whatever it takes to make it go away, just as long as you never hurt my son in the least" said Wijaya. 

Fatih nodded in understanding. "Alright, Sir. Without a signature on the stamp, I trust you. I'm going to make Melinda go away from Theo, but you have to keep your promise to return this house." 

After his affairs were completed, Wijaya rushed to invite Zul to leave from there. At least Wijaya's heart could feel a little relieved because Fatih was willing to help him. 

"Are you sure of that man, sir?" ask Zul doubtfully. 

"of course. Looks like he's got hatred for Theo and Melinda. It is obvious when they mention their names. So, let's just see how he works." Wijaya answered confidently. Zul also nodded in understanding.

Meanwhile, at Fatih's house. 

"Where are you going, Tih?" asked Dewi when she saw Fatih was well dressed after Wijaya's departure. 

"Finding Melinda, Mom. I need to find him immediately and keep Theo away to keep this house ours." Fatih spoke with excitement. I can't wait to meet Melinda and teach her a lesson. 

"alright. I hope you can find him. Do not let this house fall into the hands of the man. If necessary, we make Melinda's life more miserable because it's made Mom sick like this." The goddess heated Fatih. 

The man confirmed the mother's words and immediately left the house. Explore every corner of the place to find Melinda.

"Mother, are we going far away? Why don't we get there?" Again, Atha complained. 

"We're resting again. I'm sorry for making you so hard like this." Melinda spoke softly and guiltily. His hand gently rubbed the top of his son's head and kissed him for a long time. He gave away all the love he had for the boy. 

Melinda took a long breath. In two days, he had to check on Atha. However, he has no money, only money from the sale of mobile phones is not much. That is also for their food supplies. While to treat Atha, he requires a fee that is not small. 

After trying to find many solutions through his own mind. Melinda finally decided to come back to Aunt Sisca. Only in that place can he get a good job in a short time. 

I'm sorry, dear. I have to be a woman the other night for your treatment. Whatever I will do for your recovery.

Melinda closed her eyes as she felt the corner of her eyes warm. Then swab it quickly before the clear liquid comes out. After all, she had to be a tough woman for her son. 

When Atha woke up, Melinda immediately invited her son to come to Aunt Sisca's place and she would rent a boarding room there. His decision was already unanimous and Melinda felt very confident. 

"You're here!" 

Melinda flinched when someone called from behind. He turned around and nodded sharply afterwards. His tongue suddenly mute even his body sculpted at that moment. 

"Maas ...." The woman's voice was stamped.
