Being a Night Butterfly

TMKF-37

"Melinda, why are you quiet?" Wijaya looked at Melinda expectantly. Waiting for the woman's answer. 

Honestly, there were doubts Melinda felt. Not fully believe in the man's request to see how long Vijaya's attitude to him. However, if you see the look in Wijaya's eyes, the man looks full of seriousness.

"If you have any doubts, don't answer. Answer until you feel sure. But I hope not too long." 

"You're here." 

While the conversation was still serious, Theo came to surprise them both. The two closed their mouths shut while staring at Theo who was walking closer. 

"I've been looking for you everywhere. Did he hurt your heart?" asked Theo anxiously to make Wijaya feel envious. Seeing how much the son cared for Melinda. Moreover, the first one asked was Melinda, not her health. As if giving an affirmation as important as what Melinda in Theo's heart. 

"No. Then we'll go home now. Mr. Wijaya's been gone too long." Melinda was about to push the wheelchair, but Wijaya immediately held back. Makes Melinda flinch for a long time. 

"I don't want to get out of here yet." Vijaya spoke softly, but full of decisiveness. 

"Why? It's not just dad who needs rest. Melinda too." Theo started to get angry at the papa. Although he has tried to behave normally, but his attitude sometimes still ketus to the man. 

"Papa will not leave here if Melinda has not answered papa's question" said Wijaya.

This time, Theo was confused. Staring at the father and Melinda in turn. Especially when he saw Melinda who was so nervous, immediately made Theo suspicious of him. There was as much anxiety felt by the man. 

"What did you ask me?" asked Theo worriedly. 

Melinda did not answer. Precisely shaking weakly to make Theo's heart more worried. Theo immediately asked the papa with a little emphasis. As if forcing the papa to answer because he does not want to be struck by curiosity. 

"Papa just asked him if he was willing to accompany your life forever." Wijaya was honest. 

Just like Melinda, Theo gasped for it. He even looked at the father in disbelief. Ask the father to repeat his words. When Vijaya replied with the same words, Theo immediately embraced Melinda. 

"So, Papa has agreed?" ask Theo expectantly. 

Wijaya smiled thinly. "Yes. Even if you want to get married quickly, you will agree. After all, it's time to pet the grandchild" said Wijaya. 

Theo's face immediately sparkled happily. He hugged Melinda without even saying a word. However, it did not last long. Theo's face was suddenly gloomy as he recalled that Melinda had not yet given an answer. There was a nervousness that Theo felt from the worry that the woman would refuse. 

"Mel .. how?" ask Theo doubtfully. 

Melinda was silent for a moment then nodded weakly afterwards. "Yes. I agree." 

"Alhamdulillah." Wijaya and Theo answered simultaneously. Without caring for the papa, Theo immediately hugged the woman tightly. 

"But, Mr. ... How is my divorce with Mas Fatih?" Melinda suddenly thought about it.

"You just calm down. I've taken care of it. Soon you will be a widow, and then my wife" Theo teased. Melinda nodded with a shy smile. 

No matter what your past is. My heart has chosen you and we will be together forever. I promise I'll try to make you happy always.

"Argh! Fucking woman!" Fatih. 

"You're divorced? Haha it's worth it." The owner of the place laughed insultingly at Fatih. 

"Be quiet! Don't insult me!" fatih snapped while pounding the table. No matter though many pairs of staring eyes do not like.

"Why? Rather than you stressing like that, how about you go back to gambling here. If you win, you can earn a lot of money" woo the man. 

Fatih glanced at him sharply. Feeling upset. Long time no gambling makes Fatih want to go back to doing it, but he is still afraid to lose because now he has enough trouble finding money. Although pickpocketing, but it is not as easy as it used to be when he only asked for money on Melinda.

"Come on, just one or two million. I'll put ten million. Don't worry about losing, you don't know when Goddess Fortuna is siding with you." 

Fatih's defense eventually broke down as well. Already trying not to gamble anymore, in fact he just sat quietly. It just so happened that Fatih had brought two million in money. Seeing Fatih who was sitting relaxed, the man immediately received applause from visitors there. 

The atmosphere was suddenly tense for quite a long time. Both men looked serious about playing. In his heart Fatih prayed that he would not lose this time, if that happened then his pride would be completely tarnished. 

"You're losing!" The owner of the place laughed in satisfaction, while Fatih growled furiously. 

"Damn it! I'm sure you must be cheating!" his jolt. 

"Hey, Dude! You lost not because I cheated, but because you were stupid" the man said, taking Fatih's money. 

Infuriated, Fatih involuntarily strangled the man. While continuing to hide it. Many have broken up, but Fatih is possessed. Continues to strangle the man despite already fighting back with all his might. 

"You ...." The man closed his eyes. No longer moving. Fatih was immediately awakened and her body trembled right then and there. The people who were there immediately surrounded Fatih. Not giving any gaps at all. Someone checked the man who owned the place and it turned out that there was no more pulsating pulse. 

"I-I'm a killer." Fatih was trembling with fear. In fact, he got punches from the people there. He almost died battered even someone was about to burn him. Luckily there were still good people who chose to take Fatih to the police station before being killed by the mob. Fatih can only give up and accept. 

***

"No way! My son is not a murderer!" The goddess was hysterical when she heard that Fatih was arrested by police for killing the owner of a gambling establishment. The woman was about to leave in haste. 

When she was about to exit the gate, Dewi was silent because Yuli's car stopped in front of her. Yuli went out immediately. The woman's face looks uncomfortable. 

"Where are you going, Miss Dewi?" tanya Yuli was still trying to act ordinary. 

"Mom, I'm going to the police station. Fatih was arrested for accidentally killing people," said Dewi nervously. 

Yuli's forehead shriveled deeply. "Inadvertently killing people? How come?" 

"Sorry, Mom. I'll explain later." 

"Well, let me take you to the police station because I happen to have business there." 

Unsuspecting, Dewi directly got into Yuli's car because all she thought about now was Fatih.
