Cursed Night

CHAPTER (42): Changed

"Decorate letter?"

Arya asked Tere while looking confused at the letter in her hand and then back at Tere, while Tere nodded firmly as if he was very sure and understood what he was doing.

"Yes, our marriage divorce papers. I'm sorry I forgot to give it to you, because I'm busy so only now do I give it."

"But you haven't signed the divorce papers yet?"

In Tere's heart he condemned his folly of forgetting to check the divorce papers before giving them to Arya, now he was so ashamed of forgetting... Not forgetting but not being ready to sign the divorce papers.

"Oh yeah, I forgot to sign this divorce papers... You know I'm busy studying and working so...

"One minute, not even 5 seconds. It's only 5 seconds in twelve years, the time you need to sign the divorce papers, but why don't you sign them?"

Arya looked at Tere sharply, while Tere shifted his gaze in the other direction as long as he did not look into Arya's eyes because surely Tere would be nervous and become weak.

"Why Tere? Why do you want to sign it now?"

"Because I'm busy! No need to discuss, give the divorce papers back for me to sign!"

Tere snatched the divorce papers from Arya's hand, then looked around Arya's room trying to find a pen because she didn't have a pen.

"It's a pen, you're looking for a pen, aren't you?"

Tere immediately looked at Arya who held out a pen to him, Tere's heart as if pinched when he saw Arya who was very impatient he signed this divorce letter.

"Yes, a... I need a pen, you must be very happy not because we will finally legally divorce" Tere said after receiving the pen, Tere walked towards Arya's desk because she needed a handle to stay standing.

"Let's sign the divorce papers, why just shut up?"

"I... Yeah, I'll sign it, take it easy."

Tere tried his hardest to sign the divorce papers even he pressed the pen on this paper, but what happened was that the pen was released from his hand.

"My hands are sweaty and the pen is slippery, so I...

Inadvertently Tere and Arya's gaze met, Tere wanted to disconnect the gaze between them but his eyes followed his heart more than his common sense. The gazes of the two implied each other's feelings.

"Why should you lie to me?"

"What do you mean?"

"You can't sign Tere's divorce papers, because your heart refuses to part from me."

"The pen is slippery Aryan and...

Tere's speech came to a halt as Arya pulled her waist closer to Arya's body, until the bodies of the two stuck together without distance. In his heart Tere cursed his rapidly beating heart every time it came close to Arya. Tere's hand, which was in the chest of Arya's field, could feel Arya's heartbeat, which was also crazy.

"When did your mouth tell Tere's lie? Your heart is racing for me, your eyes are emitting your feelings for you, but why are you still lying?"

"Arya, Arya, you have a wife and children!"

"You jealous?"

"No, I'll never be jealous even if I'm happy to see the happiness of you and your wife, congratulations on your new life."

Tere tried to push Arya's body closer to him, but instead of moving away Arya even brought her face closer to Tere's face until the two noses stuck together.

For some reason after hearing Arya's reply, Tere felt his heart become lighter and happier. Seeing Arya off guard, Tere pushed Arya's body until Arya's body moved away from her.

"You don't have to explain because I don't care! I'm just here to give you the divorce papers, not to hear the story of your life!"

Arya's hands clenched tightly until they turned red, while Tere tried not to care about the anger emanating from Arya's eyes. Tere picked up another pen that had fallen off earlier, about to sign the divorce papers but...

Sreeett.

"What are you doing?!"

"Tear up this divorce papers, so you can stay tied to me in the marriage cord."

"You're crazy!"

"I'm crazy because you're Tere, I'm crazy because you never return my feelings."

Tere stared in annoyance and anger at Arya, but Tere himself realized that it was just his acting to cover up the happiness within him. No one can take Arya from Tere Queenera, forever Arya will remain hers because the man is too stupid to love her.

"There and the absence of the divorce papers, I will still be gone in your life!"

"Then I'll tie you up in my room Tere, if need be I'll do another night twelve years ago, which ties you to me."

"Before that happens, I'll kill you!"

Tere chose to leave Arya's study, but her steps stopped as Arya pulled her hand and kissed her lips abruptly. Tere tries to rebel and continues to hit the chest of Aryan fields but Arya still kisses him greedily.

"I'm tired of being the other person in front of you, I'm not actually a patient man, let alone a man who accepts being insulted but for my love, I'm willing to be a stupid man. I'm enough to be a fool! Now I'll show you who Arya Panggalila really is."

Arya pushes Tere's body to the sofa beside them, Tere tries to get up but Arya overpowers her body. Tere closed his eyes as Arya's rough hands rubbed her cheeks and kissed her cheeks.

"Twelve years ago, you can't clearly remember the beginning of Artesha, now you'll clearly remember the beginning of our second child."

"Arya don't do this, a... I'm sorry, hiks, hiks."

Tere stared pleadingly at Arya, tears were already pouring down his cheeks. A look of fear flashed clearly in Tere's eyes.

"Why are you crying Tere? You should be happy, as long as we are married never once did you carry out your duty as a wife to serve my needs, right?"

"Arya let me go!"

"Please! Please I hiks.”

Tere shook his head, trying to rebel under Arya's body but her strength and Arya were clearly far different. Arya made trouble with Tere who continued to thrash, until finally he had to tie Tere's hand and silence Tere's mouth with duct tape.

"It's better, you're quiet and voiceless. You've had enough to say, now's the time to shut up and obey."

Tere closed his eyes withstanding the pain of Arya's violent actions on him, perhaps Tere was no longer a virgin but he never had intercourse afterwards and the pain was still there when Arya raped him heartlessly. Should Tere not see Arya, years of seeing Arya always succumbing make Tere forget that the gentle and kind Arya is just a mask to cover up his harsh and cruel nature.

Tears kept pouring down her cheeks the first time Arya treated me harshly, maybe Arya is tired of dealing with her rude and selfish nature but why did Arya retaliate by raping her and reopening her wounds twelve years ago?

"You changed Arya."
