Forced to endure

Chapter 73

I heard the door shut. Looks like Mas Adji's out of the house. I was sneaking around to see if Mas Adji really left. And right, Mas Adji wasn't in the living room.

I stroked my chest, relieved that I was temporarily safe. But then I remembered, it was my neighbor whom I used to tell to look after Kenzie when I made a pact with Haris. Adji asked him. It's all been uncovered.

My phone is still in Mas Adji's possession. What if he calls Haris? How'this? Has Mas Adji read my message with Haris? Is he seeing Haris now? Oh ... Finish me!!! Mas Adji will probably kill me later!!!

I ran towards the front door, hoping that Mas Adji would not lock it from the outside. But I pulled the door as hard as I could, and it still did not open. Then I ran to the kitchen hoping to find anything to pry the door but there was no tool there.

My body is falling limp. I'm desperate. There is no hope for me to get out of this house. Even if I scream for free. No one is listening. The proof was last night when I screamed for help no one came to help me. My fear made me forget the wounds all over my body. I barely felt it.

My tears began to trickle down realizing what would happen to me when Mas Adji came home later. Maybe worse than last night. All because of my recklessness and greed. I cried at the door, lamenting what had happened to me.

Then I heard the sound of Mas Adji's motorbike stopping in front of the contract. My feelings are not bad. Just hearing the sound of the motorcycle I was already very frightened, my body was trembling. If I look at myself in the mirror, my face must be pale right now.

I immediately ran into the room. I grabbed Kenzie's body and I grabbed him. Maybe only Kenzie can save me. Mas Adji couldn't beat me up if I was holding him. Mas Adji loved him a lot.

"Please Mama yes son ... Save Mama ... If Mama survives, we can get out of this house together. But if later Mama does not survive ... Mama apologized to you. Forgive me for not being a good mother to you all this time . "my whisper in Kenzie's ear.

My tears are flowing more and more. I'm calling Kenzie tighter. Like someone who wants to die, maybe these are the last moments of my life.

Until I heard the door open.

The deg!!!

My heart felt like it stopped beating right then and there. I was silent while hugging Kenzie. I waited for Mas Adji to come in like waiting for a bomb to explode at any moment. But after a while Mas Adji did not go into the room.

Half an hour later I pegged while hugging Kenzie, but nothing happened. Not even a sound.

Why didn't Mas Adji see me? Is he no longer angry? Has he forgiven me?

I wonder what he's doing. I put Kenzie on his bed and then I walked around. I peeked through the door. Mas Adji fell asleep on the couch. How glad I am to see it. I'm safe, for a while.

I could see there were bruises on Mas Adji's face. And made me wonder who he was fighting with. Is it possible Haris? Did he go to see her?

I waited for a few hours in my room but Mas Adji did not wake up. It's almost night. I was so hungry because I only ate this morning.

There is courage in my heart. Maybe I can do something that can make Adji's anger less. The proof this morning he didn't beat me up again because I had already cleaned up the things he had destroyed.

Yes, I should try to take Mas Adji's heart, even if he doesn't forgive me at least he doesn't beat me anymore.

I finished everything I locked myself back in my room.

Waiting for the miracle to come, Mas Adji forgave me and forgot everything. I will keep trying to take Mas Adji's heart.

Adji POVs

I went home after teaching Haris a lesson. I didn't think it was the husband of my wife's best friend who had impregnated Eva. But he kept quiet and made me responsible. While Eva, from the beginning she knew that child was not my son, why did she keep asking me to take responsibility?

Absolutely outrageous, I've been fooled by both of them. How much money have I spent on Eva during her pregnancy to give birth? How much time have I wasted caring for Kenzie? Every midnight I wake up to make milk or change her diaper, while Eva is fast asleep.

I loved that boy very much. But now I can't seem to see his face. Just looking at it from a distance made me remember my stupidity.

How can I believe this whole time that he's my son? How could I have decided to keep my household with Eva just because of that child?

****** it's already using me!!!

And all this then reminds me of Vinda, all I've done to her all this time. Does this feel like being lied to, betrayed? Does this feel like I've sacrificed everything but it turns out my sacrifice was in vain? Is this karma?

I parked my bike in the yard. After meeting Haris earlier my anger towards Eva grew even more. When I got home, I had no energy. I'm sleep-deprived, last night I beat up Eva and now I've got a fight with Haris. My strength is up, my body feels weak.

With slow steps I entered the house. After that I lock it again and I put it in my pants pocket. I don't want Eva to run away.

Lucky to get inside I didn't see Eva. If I see him, maybe I won't be able to hold back anymore. I immediately threw myself on the sofa. My head felt heavy and after that I knew nothing more.

I woke up feeling cold on my face. As soon as I opened my eyes I saw Eva in front of me. His hand is touching my cheek.

I pushed him away from me.

"You want what you?!!"

"I ... I just want to compress your wound Mas," he replied in fear.

"No need!!!" I looked at Eva with a hateful look. His own face was full of bruises but he wanted to compress my wounds.

I kept staring at Eva. I don't really think how can I be fooled all out by a woman like this, a woman who doesn't even have the tip of her fingernails when compared to Vinda.
