Val opened her eyes and saw her husband still holding her tight. Her body hurts all.
"Sleep. You must be tired." Mario confirmed his wife's blanket.
"Sorry." He said again staring at Val's bead eyes inside.
"I'm gonna take a shower."
"Yes. I'm helping." Mario took his wife to the bathroom.
Val has changed clothes with her dress and hijab. Fortunately, now he is hijab. Otherwise, the bruises that were on his body would definitely be visible. Mario invited his wife to the next room because the room will be cleaned. Val hasn't met her son. They had already left for school before Val woke up from his sleep. He also knows now that many bodyguards and servants are starting to work at home again.
"Eat first." Val did not answer just taking a bribe from her husband. Honestly, he's scared of Mario. Afraid of the man's anger. Mario was scary last night. Val doesn't want anything similar to happen again.
"I'm sorry." Said Mario and Val just nodding.
"From now on. I'm not letting you anywhere without me. Understood?"
"Yes." Yeah." Answer Val briefly without protest.
"All their home business will do. You just stay quiet. If I knew you were doing something. I'll punish you."
"Children. If they want anything?"
"Make it if they ask."
"Yes." Yeah." Answer obeys.
Val felt very dizzy. His gaze twitched and then fainted.
"By."
"By Wake up."
Mario who just came to find his wife collapsed immediately moved to the bed. The man immediately called the doctor.
"How's it?" ask Mario to worry.
"Mrs had fever, fatigue and trauma. Madam will be around any minute. Please take the medicine regularly."
"good. Thanks."
"Same Sir. Excuse me."
"Yes." Yeah."
Mario laid his body on the bed. He faced Val who still did not open his eyes. He rubbed the bruise on his wife's forehead. Mario shed tears. He's khilaf. It is not meant to hurt his wife. But he lost control. Mario is so sorry. He berated himself seeing Val's condition like this.
"Mommy." Val's son accompanied his weakly lying Mommy.
"Have you eaten yet?"
"It's Mom."
"Printer."
"Mommy hurts what?"
"Mommy just has a fever dear."
"Kening Mommy why?" Veer's question made Mario's heart cut.
"So got the door." Lying Val.
"Other times heart yes Mom. We don't want Mom to get hurt again. If anyone dares to hurt Mom. We're gonna step in."
Mario could only quietly listen to his son's babbling. What if they find out that what hurt Mommy is their own Daddy.
"Well..You guys get out. Let Mommy rest. Let it heal quickly."
"Yes Dad. Answer them obediently."
Mario hugged his wife after his son left.
"Want to eat By?"
"Drink."
Mario sat down to help his wife drink. Val lay down again. His head is still dizzy. He also felt a cold chill in his body. Mario justifies the wife's blanket and hugs her to keep her warm. A little while later Val had already fallen asleep due to the effects of the drug.
Val's condition hasn't improved until nightfall. Even worse than before. The doctor just came home finished putting up the infusion for Val.
"Eat first. You haven't eaten."
"My stomach is not good."
"A little bit."
"No want. My stomach doesn't taste good."
"Jas. You rest again."
"Yes." Yeah." Val laid his body back.
Three days Val was sick and now he is recovering. But his body is now thinner. She had no taste for food despite being forced by her husband and children. Now he is at home. Not going out anywhere either to pick up children or shopping. Her husband forbids Val. Even yesterday Mario added a few guards at home to keep him from going out. Val only busies himself by reading and taking care of his children. To just cook Val is not allowed by Mario. He will cook when his son asks to be made a snack or dessert only. Her husband's attitude is getting more and more over protective. Val felt constrained but could not go where. Mario threatens with the use of his son.
"By." Mario hugged his wife who was cleaning her face in front of the dresser.
"Home home?"
"It." Val releases her husband's embrace and sits on the sofa.
"Why are you off?" Mario asked, sitting next to his wife.
"I want to sit here."
"Oh." Said Mario laying his head on Val's lap.
"Seek elus." Val did not answer to do what her husband ordered. She gently stroked her husband's head.
"I want to ask you something."
"What By?"
"How many people have you killed?"
"Why ask that?"
"Just want to know. I want you to be honest."
"I never killed anyone?"
"Want to?"
"I tortured and threw it away."
"Why?"
"Because they deserve it. Those who dare like me will be like that. But I assure you. With the injuries they get only a few percent chance to live. Very thin."
"Does hurting people make you happy?"
Mario sat himself down and looked at his wife.
"It's not about fun. These are all the prices they have to pay for ruining my life."
Mario hugs Val because he sees fear in his wife's eyes.
"I'm not going to hurt you." He said full of honesty.
"Don't be afraid."
"Don't look at me with that look."
"I'm your husband."
Mario stroked his wife's back.
"I'm sorry. What has passed let it pass. We open a new page. We start all over again, right? You're my wife. You're everything. Don't be afraid anymore."
"Yes." Yeah."
"Thank You By. Thank you for everything. Thank you for accepting my other side. I love you." Mario briefly kissed his wife's lips and hugged her again.
