Heart Thief

Deal

"Where have you been?" The baritone voice immediately greeted Zetta's sense of hearing as soon as she set foot inside the house.

In front of him was currently standing The father who was looking at him sharply.

"Is this how a student uses his time?" the sarcasm.

Zetta stayed in place with her head down.

The father stared at him fiercely, a sigh rang out from the father's mouth. "Did you just go to that place again?" Ask the cold father.

Zetta quickly shook his head.

"Papah's men have just given you information if you go to places you shouldn't go. Is that true, Ve?" Again only a flat tone was heard from the mouth of the father.

In his current position, Zetta was secretly holding back his fear with all his might. He knew this would happen, but he did not think about the impact of the actions that he thought were natural.

"Hey listen!" This time the father walked over to the slightly trembling Zetta.

"Are you still lacking enough to live in a house this grand, Ve?" Add it again arrogantly while holding Zetta's right arm quite hard.

"Pa... Pah.." Zetta's words stammered from the pain inflicted by her father's grip.

"What?" Challenge the father widened his eyes.

Zetta grimaced with the intense pain in her arms.

"Ve.. please. le-pas.in, Ve. Pah.." pinta Ve with disjointed voice.

"What?" The father put his palm on his earlobe as if he had not heard Zetta's words.

"Ma. ma.. af.." Zetta laboriously said, but the man before her did not bully her. The grip on Zetta's arm only got tighter, leaving Zetta strangled.

He just folded his lips inward trying to ease the intense pain.

Ben Brawijaya just stared flat at his daughter in pain. His teeth were cracking, Ben's jaw was hardened, his eyes were sharp full of anger. His emotions really overflowed because of the child who did not want to obey him.

"You think I don't know if you ditched this morning and just wandered off the street, huh?" The sarcasm.

He pulled the child's right arm closer to him. "Do you want to be the same fate as your mother?" Ben asked while taking off the rough grip of his hand.

"Hurry in before I change my mind." Ben continued without looking at Zetta.

Immediately Zetta ran towards the elevator and pressed the third floor button where her room was.

Arriving at the room, her tears broke. He is really weak in this.

"What is rich for? What is the throne for? If you're gonna be ruined in the end too." He mumbled with his cry.

10 years ago

A little girl was sitting on a garden chair next to her house. With his mother, he waited for the arrival of his father who had been about a week out of town for work.

"Well, you're really going home today, aren't you?" Ask the child in a excited voice.

The mother who was rubbing her son's long mane turned her head and smiled warmly towards the child. "Yes Ve, today Papah is coming home." His mother replied softly.

Ve immediately came down from his seat while patting his hands happily. "Yeayyy. means tonight Ve can sleep hugged Papah, hurrah...!" She screamed excitedly imagining herself sleeping with her Mom and Dad.

Because he had not slept with his parents since the father went out of town.

Ve's mother smiled at the child's behavior. Her heart warmed to find that the child loved her and her husband very much.

"Here sit again baby, we wait for Papah together." Invite Mother Ve to pat the chair that was occupied by the child.

Ve complied and went back to telling me about the things he had experienced in school.

It was with great joy that Ve immediately ran over to the father whom he greatly missed. But instead of being happy, the father came home with a cold face and refused Ve's touch.

His father's gaze was precisely on the mother who was also welcoming him with no less happy.

"Whatever you do while I'm gone." Ask Dad Ve flat.

"You mean?" Ve's mother didn't understand what the husband was saying.

"No need to twist, I already know everything. You wife don't know it's lucky! Husband cape-cape work, you even feel good with the man," accuse Father Ve full of emotion.

The mother was silent, she did not deny or justify. In his mind at this time only Ve seemed to be afraid of the words of the father who was so cold.

The private driver who had taken Ve's father was still standing next to the car door. He was about to leave but Mother Ve prevented him.

"Sir Burhan, please bring Ve in." Mother Ve's words were softly accompanied by a smile.

"But Ve wants Papah, ma'am. Ve kangen Papah." Reject Ve when the driver is about to take her away.

The mother looked at her daughter with a smile. "Ve baby, go in first. Papah I'd like to say something for a second. Later after Papah with Mom is done, we will watch a movie that Ve wants to be with." Mother Ve said that she hoped that the child would obey her words.

With a sullen face finally Ve obeyed the words of the mother.

After the death of Ve and the driver, Mother Ve looked back at the husband who was still filled with anger. With a moderate step, she approached her husband and rubbed his arm affectionately even though the husband always pulled his arm away, he remained patient in dealing with her husband's attitude.

"Darling calm down, you must have just misunderstood. Let's go in first and talk about this slowly. You must be tired, rest your body first we discussed everything," he persuaded but the husband just stared at him fiercely.

"Stay away from me" Ve's father said with emphasis.

But Mother Ve did not give up, she hugged her husband's body tightly.

"I said stay away from me!" Snapped Dad Ve forcibly took off his wife's embrace violently.

Ve's mother seemed surprised at her husband's rude attitude.

"Never touch my body with that hand" said Ve's father. He then left his wife who was now in tears.

"Stay away from me before I'm really sick of your behavior" Ve's father said before actually entering his house.

☘☘☘

Day after day passed, Ve's father's attitude was getting colder on his family. Little Ve who still does not know the problems faced by his family can only be silent when he found the mother secretly crying while accompanying him to sleep.

Quarrels often occur between Father and Mother. Not even infrequently the father also committed physical violence to the mother.

Ve was upset, but he dared not fight the father who was so terrible in his eyes. That warm and loving figure had transformed into a monster in the eyes of his own son.

Until one day, a terrible incident approached Ve. The moment when she had to let her mother go forever.

At that time, Ve was going to school so he did not know what his mother was going through. But one that he always remembered bruises on the face and neck area of his mother.

No one cares about it, but Ve is trying to figure out the cause of death of her beloved mother.

Until a surprising fact occurs. When the house was quiet, a clever little Ve infiltrated the CCTV room of his house and checked the CCTV footage on the day that his mother breathed her last breath.

Ve's breath was choked, his body suddenly shaking and tears were falling down his face.

☘☘☘

"No...!" She screamed as she woke up from her nightmare.

Sweat flooded all over his body that was shaking the effect of his ever-faithful dream appearing in the middle of his sleep.

Unknowingly a clear liquid dripped down his cheeks.

"I'm tired.." - Ve said, covering his face with his hands.
