Forced to Marry a Teacher

30. Eluded

Janus immediately held Astrid's hand, his expression looking gloomy looking at his wife with a feeling of guilt. Astrid just stared straight ahead with her face still in an upset throat. Astrid then forcibly removed her hand from Janus' grasp.

"That shouldn't touch me is you, not Titan."

Janus seemed nervous, feeling ambiguous to say an apology locked in his mouth. He was so sorry to have yelled and scolded Astrid last night. How foolish is he who has been blinded by jealousy. Go for a drink just to calm down. But in fact, it is getting more emotional.

Janus regulated his breathing, calming himself from his nervousness. After that, he again grasped Astrid's wrist, then pulled her away toward his car in the parking lot.

"You went to school in my car."

"I don't want to! let go of my hand right now" said Astrid, trying to remove her arm from Janus's grasp.

As much as Janus was holding Astrid's hand, dragging her by force. Titan did not stay silent to see Astrid who was being dragged. He pursued her, and threw Astrid's hand out of Janus's

"She said she didn't want to, don't force her."

Janus smiled obliquely and stared intently at Titan. "You don't have to interfere."

"Do you think you have the right to force it that way. It would only hurt her, after making her cry last night. You even forced her to go with you. As a man and husband, you should be able to be gentle with a woman" Titan said.

"A rancid boy like you lectured me. You're not who he is. But you just want to approach a married woman. Even the other day you took her out to eat with you."

Now it was Titan's turn to smile sideways as he looked at Janus. "You're really a couple."

Astrid did not stay silent, seeing her husband and friends who had a fight. He took silent steps in the midst of Titan and Janus. "That's enough!" and you, sir Janus, as a teacher and as an adult, you should not behave like that."

"Why do you defend him more than I am your husband" said Janus.

"You say husband, what this is called husband. I came home late drunk and didn't tell me. And this time you forced me to go with you. You know, if your actions are rude. Remember our marriage is only on paper" Astrid said with water filling her eyes. Which slowly began to drip down after a drop, wetting both of his cheeks

Janus felt even more guilty seeing the crying Astrid. He took Astrid's hand. "I'm sorry."

Astrid immediately threw out her hand. Just leave in a state of crying. While Janus, speechless pecked with his head lowered. His heart ached, after seeing his wife cry. However, suddenly his breathing felt tight, accompanied by a vision that looked blurry, he felt a very heavy dizziness. Janus went to walk limping into his car. Take out the bag and pull out the entire contents inside his bag. Janus took the medicine jar, and immediately took the medicine that was in the jar. After that, he leaned back in his car seat with his eyes closed. Adjusted his heavy-looking breath.

While on Titan, he went after Astrid who was crying.

"Trid wait." he shouted repeatedly.

However, Astrid ignored him leaving in a hurry then waved her hand, stopping the taxi that was about to pass. Perhaps almost every day Astrid and Janus quarreled, for some reason his quarrel this time made his heart too sick.

...****************...

While at school, Astrid looked gloomy. He was quieter than talking to his friends. His eyes were still puffy after a night and this morning he was crying. What made her moody, made her two friends wonder. Several times Hilda and Alula asked with the condition and the problem. Astrid did not answer and instead avoided the questions of the two friends.

And when Astrid was going to the cafeteria with her two friends, she came across Janus. Both of them looked awkward and nervous after passing each other. Astrid then goes in a hurry to avoid Janus.

Janus just silently looked at Astrid who was leaving in a hurry. He almost greeted her, if only she had not had a big fight. Janus might not be this good with Astrid.

Even at home, both Janus and Astrid were more silent. Even to say hello to each other they do not. This apartment looks quiet, like it has no occupants.

At night, Janus seemed nervous when he was about to enter his room. He kept silent at the door of his room, repeatedly holding the doorknob, however, hesitated to open the door of his room. He then exhaled, venturing into the room. In the room was Astrid reading a book.

"Hm, I'll sleep outside. I went to my room just to get my pillow and blanket, I hope you don't mind" Janus said.

Astrid was silent a thousand words, ignoring Janus without saying a word. Holding a blanket and pillow, Janus approached Astrid, who was reading a book in her bed.

"I'm sorry. I'm really sorry, and I promise that if I get home late, I'll let you know" Janus said, then walked back out of his room.

However, there was a sudden power outage, all the lights in the apartment building were off. Suddenly, there was the sound of broken glass coming from the kitchen.

"Prank...

Astrid immediately turned on the flashlight from her phone. Get out of bed and go to the kitchen. Arriving in the kitchen, Astrid was immediately surprised to find Janus who looked asphyxiated. Janus' entire body was flooded with cold sweat, he closed his eyes while holding his chest. Astrid looked panicked, she rushed to Janus.

"Sister Janus why?"

Janus just gripped Astrid's arm. "Please get the medicine in the room drawer.

Astrid ran into the room, looking for medicine in the drawer. After finding the medicine, he came back out of his room and immediately gave Janus medicine and a glass of water.

Janus took the medicine Astrid took. After taking the medicine, Janus again held Astrid's arm.

"Don't turn off the flashlight. And accompany me until the lights are on."

Janus looked deathly pale, his body trembled as if frightened, and on the bajiri with perspiration that continued to pour. Astrid then swept him into the living room, helping him to sit on the sofa.

"Stay beside me, don't go anywhere" said Janus holding Astrid's hand firmly

Astrid sat down beside Janus.

"What pain do you have. What medicine are you taking?"

Janus turned his gaze, with his hand still firmly holding Astrid's arm.

"I have had anxiety disorders due to past trauma as well as trouble sleeping."
