Cursed Night

CHAPTER (45): Accident

No one can answer when someone's age ends except time

~Tere Queenera~

Tere just silently looked at Arya who had been pacing back and forth while trying to call Arsa. When Arya wants to take Arsa to breakfast, Arsa is not in her room and Arya is very worried because her daughter never leaves the house without telling her.

Tere's fingers intertwined, indicating the uneasiness in his heart, Tere could see the same thing in Arya. Tere who just met Arsa alone was worried when Arsa left without telling anyone, let alone Arya who took care of Arsa since Arsa was born.

"Hello, how did you find my daughter?"

When the call was lifted, Arya immediately asked the bodyguard she ordered to find Arsa about her daughter's info.

"Sorry sir, but we haven't found Miss Arsa."

"DAMNIT!"

Arya rubs her face violently in frustration at the bodyguard's answer, Arsa's phone is off and now there is no trace of her daughter.

"Hurry to find my daughter, it's been almost half a day since my daughter's departure and there's no trace at all, until you fail to find my daughter... Then your life is at stake!!"

Tere was sure that Arya's bodyguards were very frightened when he heard Arya's words, Tere was just scared when he heard Arya's words when they were not on him.

Arya immediately turned off her phone connection when she felt that nothing was being talked about anymore. The flower vase on the table became an outlet of Arya's anger, he threw the vase towards the window of his house until the window broke.

"You where is Arsa? I'm so worried about you, why did you leave without telling me? If you have a story problem with me, don't be like this my daughter. I miss you so much."

Arya looks very fragile in Tere's eyes, even Tere can see how sad Arya will lose Arsa, until Arya shed tears.

"Did Arsa know about us?" tere asked while looking at Arya, Arya immediately turned to Tere and she only realized the awkwardness in the room earlier.

The door of the room opened and there was a key on the door, but Arya did not open it, but because she was too happy with Tere, she did not care about the awkwardness.

"You're right, Arsa knows everything and she ran away without saying anything."

The two went back to silence in the night, thinking of one object, Arsa, only Arsa in their minds now.

"Where are you going Arsa? If you hate the truth about who I am, you should have told me directly. Don't run away from home, Arya is very worried about you Arsa. Please come back, don't be like this. We may be mothers and children but we are aware that the bond between us died twelve years ago, but your bond with Arya exceeds any bond in the world," tere said in his heart, Tere is worried about Arsa, Arsa must be very angry and Arsa is just a unstable teenager who can do anything when angry.

Tere looked at Arya, then stood up and walked towards Arya. Tere immediately hugged Arya tightly shed tears that he had been holding back, Arya returned Tere's embrace gently. Arya could feel the fear in Tere, seen from Tere's embrace that was very tight and seemed unwilling to let go of this embrace.

Arya rubbed Tere's back and rubbed Tere's hair trying to calm Tere down, she could feel her shoulder shirt wet with Tere's tears while Tere was still crying on Arya's shoulder.

"Don't cry, Arsa must be fine. Arsa is a strong woman like you, she's a replica of you isn't she?"

"Archae... Arsa may be my replica, in... He is very similar to me, his face, his attitude, even his style of speech is the same... Hiks, hicks, ta... But the inner bond within Arsa is only related to you."

Arya gripped Tere's hair gently, brought it closer to Arya's lips and kissed Tere on the forehead. Arya tries to let go of Tere's embrace but Tere reluctantly lets go of Tere's tightening embrace and Tere, who shakes his head, refuses to let go of Arya's embrace.

Arya gripped onto Tere's shoulder then let go of their embrace. Eyes glazed and reddened and tears flowing profusely on Tere's cheeks, Arya was unable to see him.

Arya wiped the tears on Tere's cheek with her thumb, Arya's index finger was placed in the middle of Tere's lips by shaking her head, indicating that Tere would stop crying, because Arya could not see Tere crying.

"But we didn't get along, Arsa left because she knew our relationship, she knew who I was, she ran away because she hated me, she didn't want me to be her mother."

"No matter what Arsa hates you, it won't be able to erase the bond in you. In Arsa's body, your blood flows Tere. Before Arsa knew me, she knew you because she was in your womb for nine months."

Tere's outstretched hand rubbed Arya's face, Tere was sure that in his previous life, he was doing good all his life so that in this life, God gave a wingless angel in his life.

"I'm a bad wife and mother to you and Arsa."

"No, you're not Tere's bad wife and mother. It's circumstances that make you change, I'm sure deep down, you're an angel capable of loving me and Arsa without limits."

Tere brought his face closer to Arya, then placed his hand behind Arya's head, pushing Arya's head closer to her so that the two's eyebrows stuck together.

"May I tell you something?"

"What?"

"I Love You."

Arya had not expected Tere to say the three words that she had been dreaming of for thirteen years. Arya wants to return Tere's expression of feelings but the sound of the phone ringing stops her, making Arya forced to pick up the phone especially after seeing the name of her bodyguard on the call.

Tere just silently looked at Arya who raised the call, but he was shocked when suddenly Arya's cellphone fell from Arya's hand. Arya's face looks pias and Arya just silently stared blankly ahead, making Tere worried and scared.

"Arya why? What's going on?"

Arya was silent, like a body that lost its soul. Tere tries to resuscitate Arya and wiggles Arya's body, making Arya wake up from her daydream and look at Tere with teary eyes.

"What's the Arya? Why are you just standing still and crying? Don't scare me Arya, say something."

"Archae...

"Arsa why Arya? Arsa why? Please talk Arya. Don't hide anything from me, my daughter why Arya?!"

"The meaning of accidents."

Tere could not accept what Arya said, his body almost kissed the floor if Arya did not catch his body that almost fell. Arya immediately hugged Tere trying to strengthen Tere to receive this news.

"Archae... Why should Arsa? Why don't I just Arya? Arsa is innocent, I'm wrong, why did God give this suffering to Arsa."

"Don't tell me it was Tere, nobody should have gotten into that accident. You, me, or Arsa."

"ARSA!!!"

"I'm sorry Arsa, I'm a failed mother. I'm sorry, don't leave me Arsa. I beg you not to, if you don't want to be with me at least stay with Arya, you are Arya's life's life's torment."

Arya was unable to hold back her tears when she saw Tere crying, suddenly the photo of Arsa on the wall fell making Arya's heart more sick and sore.
