Cursed Night

CHAPTER (35): The Admiration of the Child

Unbeknownst to Tere, her little daughter, who has grown up to be a cute and beautiful girl, is watching foreign TV and is very proud to see a beautiful and intelligent woman, but the boy never knew the figure was the same figure he had longed for so far, a figure he often cried secretly at night, he said, and a figure he wanted to see and he hugged.

While at the Arya Mansion, Artesha kept tugging at her father's arm to see the overseas Private TV Channel, which featured the announcement of the Harvard University graduate.

"Just look at the TV first, Arsa has a rich dream big brother's dad!"

"Who's sister, dear? I can't, you watch yourself first, I'm busy."

"No, anyway papa should watch, big brother looks a lot like Arsa and he's also very smart."

Somehow Arya felt something strange about her feelings now when she heard her daughter's words. Arya no longer protests and quietly follows where Arsa takes her, because she just wants to make sure her doubts.

"That's dad, she's so beautiful, she's a medical graduate, too, in Har... Harp

Artesha tried to remember the name of the college she had just watched, her index finger was on her lips, she was thinking hard to not realize the look of her father's face that changed.

Arya felt her body weakened, so she had to sit on the sofa while staring flat at the big TV in front of her, the older sister Arsa meant was the woman who gave birth to Arsa. Tere Queenera, the woman whose name is still attached to her heart.

"Oh yes, Harvard, yes. That brother is a Harvard graduate, he's so beautiful, isn't he, papa?"

Arya turned to her smiling daughter while looking at the TV in front of her, which featured her birth mother but Arsa never knew, the woman she admired was the woman who gave birth to her always throw it away.

"Papa didn't cry really, papa was just a flickering doang."

The father and son were just quietly busy in their minds, Arya's gaze fixed on Tere who was receiving the award, tears streaming down the woman's cheeks.

Arya was sure it was a tear of happiness, having successfully achieved one of her dreams. Arya tried to find a guilty or sad look on Tere's face, but she did not find it because in fact the woman was never sad or guilty after asking him to go with their little baby.

"You are truly selfish Tere, you sacrificed your child and husband's life for your ideals, I don't think there are still women without a heart like you in this World. Congratulations on your award, you are indeed a genius Tere but you are the dumbest woman to have sacrificed your family for the title."

Arya could only say it in her heart, only able to cry in her heart, as her heart was sliced to see Tere's success above her suffering.

"Father, Artesha wants to be rich that brother."

The innocent and ignorant Arsa, pointed at the TV in front of her with boundless admiration. Arya shook her head, resisting her daughter's desire to be the same as Tere.

"You can't be like her Arsa because she's even worse than an animal, an animal won't hate and throw her child away, but she does."

Again and again Arya can only speak it in her heart, she does not want Arsa to know this painful truth. If Tere really wants to hide the traces of his past that is he and Arsa, then Arya will eliminate the traces of Tere in Arsa's life forever.
