Hell's Charm From My Wife

18. The Life of Laura

Desi Cemetery.

Get rid of me, that's what Laura's head is all about right now. Who had expected Laura to help him, since the beginning Adam was never on that list of people. However, the most surprising thing about the sudden marriage was the fact that Laura lost her parents.

As just yesterday he was boasting about the prowess of his father and mother, now they only lived memories with names carved on tombstones.

There looked at the girl from afar, hoping someone could comfort her. Too bad, Laura applied the order to close her mother's funeral as she did it for her father.

"He's a little stubborn, right?" An old woman interrupted Adam. She smiled sweetly as Adam looked at her. "That's how Laura is."

Adam looked puzzled, not a single Laura family was anyone he knew.

"Ah, I'm her aunt" said the woman. He took out a hand for Adam. "Danira."

Adam answered the hand. His head was confident. "Adam" he said, introducing himself.

"I hear you're her husband, is that true?" ask Danira gently. "It looks like you'll be a little overwhelmed to deal with it."

Danira gave a long sigh. "In addition to being spoiled, he was also stubborn. Faishal and Desi pampered him too much. They set Laura free, forgot to educate how to respect others."

Adam could not refute this woman's words even though she was clearly insulting Laura on the day of her own mother's death.

"Why still keep your marriage? Faishal and Desi are gone." He looked at Adam with certainty. "Your marriage is only for their matchmaking isn't it?"

Adam curled a smile over his lips. "Auntie wants me to leave Laura alone?"

"Only for consideration. I see you're a fine man, you can get that—"

"The good man will not divorce his wife, Bi." There are braves to fight. "That's what my father and Mr. Faishal taught me first."

Danira lost a landslide! In the end he could only smile wryly. "You're right."

"Then I say goodbye, Ms. Danira. I have to throw some trash in the kitchen." Adam bidding. He leaves Danira who doesn't answer anymore.

>>>><<<<

"Why did you come here?" Wanda greeted Adam with a smile. "Kasian Laura, you must accompany her."

Adam ignored Wanda's orders. He continued his activities to throw some trash on the table. Laura would not have time to clean up all this trash, perhaps for a few days to pass, the girl would dissolve in her sadness.

"Comfort him. Make him mad at you" said Wanda to Adam. He tried to pull Adam's body away from the garbage heap.

Adam refused. "He needs time alone."

"What if I need a friend?" Wanda. "You always conclude everything yourself. Better come and ask him, he needs to be accompanied or not."

"Who's really mad at me." Adam tried to laugh. "I'm bothering him."

"Let her be mad at you!" Wanda said firmly. "When he's quiet like that."

Wanda stopped the activity for a moment. He looked at Adam who was also looking at him. "I can't bear it. Honestly, I'd rather see it before. He was indeed arrogant and arrogant, but at least he had the spirit to live on."

Trying to understand the situation. In this situation, everyone has their own thoughts.

"Dam, I know .. You shouldn't be asking this now. But I'm just curious" added Wanda. His tone was filled with doubt.

Adam was silent, waiting for Wanda to speak again.

"Mr Faishal is gone, that too with his wife." Wanda grabbed Adam's shoulder. "There's nothing you need to defend anymore."

"You've relieved both of their hearts, so there's no need to try harder." Wanda was being wise, as if her decision was the most correct. "Laura doesn't like you either. He repeatedly rejected you."

Adam shakes sure. "I won't divorce her" she replied. "I'll still be her husband."

"I wouldn't leave him alone in this situation. If I divorce her, maybe she'll really kill herself." Adam breathed a tired breath. "I'll try my best" he concluded.

Wanda looks agitated. "Nurwa ...."

"Mas Adam!" Rinjani suddenly interrupted the conversation. He came and held out something to Adam. That's Laura's school uniform.

Adam frowned. "What's wrong? Why bring Laura's school uniform?"

"I found that trash can." Rinjani forces Adam to accept her. "It's kerosene, it looks like it's going to burn like Laura."

Adam is speechless. He accepted Rinjani's gift by continuing to look at her, the look on his face changing instantly. Confusion mixed with overwhelming anxiety.

"If my conclusion is, Laura's sister seems to want to drop out of school. He already threw his uniform in the trash and wanted to burn it." Not finished Rinjani sentence spoken, Adam has gone from his place. Get out of the kitchen, of course head to where Laura is.

>>>><<<<

Sadness shackles Laura's mind. From earlier he was like a lifeless statue, which could not even blink. His eyes were blank, his eyelids were filled with puddles of tears that occasionally fell down his cheeks.

Adam's arrival surprised him. Adam stood in front of Laura, thrusting out his uniform.

"Who are you supposed to quit school?" ask Adam. "You can't quit school" he said.

Laura took a long breath. He removed Adam's hand from his sight, without words.

"Laura!" Adam snapped a little. "I know you're sad, how could you think of dropping out of school and ...."

Adam's words came to a halt as Laura looked at him in a chest-stifling manner. His face was filled with sadness, but the pair of eyes were shackled with anger.

"Can I?" Laura's voice was trembling. "Wish my parents would rise from the grave and hug me laughing and say that this is just a surprise?"

Adam looked down.

"I thought at first that Papa lied to me!" ketus Laura's. "She's coming back for my birthday soon, but after seeing my mom yesterday."

Laura returned to tears. She stopped talking a few hours ago, hoping that her voice could hold back her tears. Now because of Adam, he lost on his own stand.

"Laura," call Adam Iirih. Adam put Laura's uniform on the girl's lap and squatted in front of her. "Listen to me carefully."

"You can be sad, you can cry as much as you can, and you can be disappointed you can be angry too." Adam slowly approached her. "But don't let it rule you."

"I want to quit school! I want our marriage to stop!" ketus Laura's. He pushed Adam's body. "Leave me alone, don't ever come here again!"

Laura suddenly got up from her seat after successfully pushing Adam's body away from her.

"I don't want to continue the marriage! I don't want to continue school! I don't want to continue anything!" laura shouted as she sobbed. "I want to die!"
