Between Revenge and Love

Bitter reality

"Dinda, Om and Aunt already know your past. If you still respect us, please take care of the good name of this family. Hold yourself for a moment at least until Fariz recovers psychically. Time later, you'll receive freedom." Said Rahman in a soft, firm voice.

Dinda frowned, trying to understand papa Fariz's words.

"Sorry Om, Dinda doesn't understand what Om Rahman means." Dinda was honest.

"When Fariz was able to accept her condition, you were divorced." Explanation om Rahman like lightning that struck. Dinda did not expect that it turned out that her marriage to Fariz was forced not to really build a household. But only for Fariz's recovery? Dinda shook her head, she disagreed with Rahman's intentions. After all, marriage is a sacred thing, he must as much as possible maintain his marriage.

"Of.. Dinda disagrees with this plan. For Dinda, a once-for-a-lifetime wedding. Dinda will defend this marriage. Fariz is now Dinda's legal husband. Dinda will serve as a good wife for Fariz." Tight Dinda.

"Plakkk" a hard slap landed on Dinda's cheek. Leaves a sense of heat and stinging. Instantly, Dinda's tears flowed down her cheeks and made her feel sore. Dinda held onto her cheek which was hot.

"I held back all night. I really don't want to have a ghost like you. I knew this would happen. But I didn't expect you to be so itchy until the first day of your wedding to tease the man in this house." Aunt Sita's tudingan made Dinda's heart sicker.

"Ti.no, I didn't do it. Toni teased me, she abused me. Om, Auntie. despite this marriage I did by force. But I will try to be a good wife. Aunty and Om have known Dinda a long time, at least Om and Aunt know that I can't do all this." isak Dinda tried to defend herself.

"Om and Aunt just found out who you really are. Om didn't expect it just for your pleasure you sold the body to a lonely man. I'm sorry for Fariz who's been blinded by your fake love." Om Rahman sighed deeply trying to dispel the burden in his heart.

"Om, Aunt... Dinda's not like that. Fariz sold Dinda's honor. He betrayed Dinda. Hiccups.hik.hik." Isak Dinda expressed his disappointment.

"Thankfully Fariz told me everything. So your tears and cries can't fool us." Aunt Sita tightens her molars. Intending to vent his anger on Dinda.

"That's not true Auntie, Om. Please listen to Dinda." Dinda protest was also not responded by Om and Aunt Sita. Making Dinda choose silence, he only prayed in his heart that time gave evidence that he was innocent.

"The sooner Fariz recovers, the sooner you'll be free. And you can be free to go back to your dark past. Your job now, serve and cheer Fariz. We'll take everything into account, so when you leave this house. We will give you a great compensation. This is the first and last time we talk as in-laws and daughters-in-law. The rest always remember your position and role here. We hope you understand !!" Om Rahman's ultimatum breaks Dinda's heart.

In her helplessness Dinda simply nodded. A sense of regret slipped in his heart. Why should she agree with this forced marriage. While the Fariz family thought of him as so despicable. It's all Fariz. Dinda cried in silence. He came out of the work room om Rahman. He looked to the right and to the left, not knowing where to go. He wasn't ready to meet Fariz after his humiliation earlier this afternoon.

Dinda headed to the back room. Rows of household assistant rooms lined up like a boarding house. There are four rooms not too big. As Dinda recalled, she only saw three domestic assistants in Om Rahman's family. There should be one room left. Dinda had intended to knock on one of the rooms to ask for an empty room. He had not touched the door. Someone touched his shoulder.

"Sstttt..mbak don't make a fuss here." whispered a female voice warning him.

"Sorry, I just need a room to rest tonight." Whisper Dinda.

"Mbak Dinda introduced my name Imah. You are patient." The word faith gives comfort.

Dinda looked in admiration at Imah. She is a pretty young girl. But suddenly there was a bitter feeling coming to his heart. How Imah can survive working in the Om Rahman family. Was he also a victim of Fariz? Dinda regained her senses and immediately dismissed her bad thoughts.

"Mr Dinda, wait a minute here. I'll get food first. Don't forget to lock the door with this." Imah shows a large enough piece of wood that is used as a very strong doorstop.

Let's go, Dinda followed faith's advice. He locked the door with a wooden bar. Dinda laid her body on the cotton pad. His gaze swept over the ceiling of the room. His mind began to glare.

"Tok.tok..tok mbak Dinda." The call of Lirih Imah awakened him from the daydream. Dinda got up and opened the door. Bring a plate of rice and a glass of water. He crunched in, but Dinda thought that Imah was just handing over the food and immediately left it.

"Don't you think I'm here?" Put rice and water on the bed. In that room there was only a chair and a bed. There is no closet or table.

Dinda just nodded, in fact she felt uncomfortable. He really wants to be alone right now. Reflecting on all the pain that continues to befall his life.

"Mr Dinda." The rebuke of the spirit of the Lord made him aware of the cradle of the daydream.

"Sorry." Dinda felt awry because she was caught daydreaming.

"Mak is quickly eaten for fear of a cold rush." Sit in a wooden chair. He deliberately waited for Dinda to eat to make sure Dinda ate properly.

She began to eat little by little the bitter food.

"Mbak was deprived of his food, so that Dinda might remain healthy." Persuade Imah when he saw Dinda did not taste to spend her food.

Dinda felt bad for Imah who had already bothered to bring her food. Although forced to, the plate of rice was finally eaten.

"Mbak Dinda sorry if I was presumptuous. I want to ask you something. Dinda loves you as much as Fariz?" Ask her curiously.

Dinda was silent, she thought for a moment. Does he need to be honest or lie to you? He had not known the ART girl in front of him. What if it turns out that Imah is a Fariz spy or om and aunt Sita?

The gaze of Imah's eyes so demanded an answer from her immediately. Dinda decided to be honest, whatever the consequences later she had prepared herself.
