Mulan walked back and forth anxiously in her room while occasionally staring at the door that was still tightly closed. I don't know what he's waiting for. He's not usually like that.
Shortly after, the door opened from the outside. Mulan who noticed it instantly stopped her steps and turned her head. The figure of Cyndi who was smiling at him he found later.
"How, Cyndi? Is he still here?" tanyanya. Those beautiful eyes even looked at the secretary like an urge.
"Master Bara is no longer here, Ms. Mulan. And I can be sure, he has left this place after we met earlier," replied Cyndi.
"You're serious, Cyndi?"
"Seriously, Miss Mulan." Cyndi nodded deeply, smiling to convince Mulan.
"Thank God." Immediately Mulan heaved a sigh of relief and it made Cyndi feel astonished.
"Mom's okay?" Cyndi chose to ask to be sure.
"Yes. I'm fine" Mulan replied without looking at Cyndi's face. Now he went back to the desk and was busy packing. "Cyndham. I need to be home and I need to go home quickly. You can't take care of everything while I'm not around?"
Cyndi nodded obediently even though he still felt astonished. "Good, Mom. I'll finish it today."
"Thank you Cyndi" Mulan said.
"Sama-sama, Ma'am," Cyndi replied before later offering to deliver. "Mother driving alone? I need to drive it home. I see today Mother is very tired."
"Oh no Cyndi. Not necessary. I can do it myself." Mulan answered quickly. For what purpose try? Of course to hide his residence from anyone. It was not yet time they knew about her status as Bara's wife.
"Good, Mom. Be careful on the road."
Mulan just nodded. He leaves the room under Cyndi's supervision from behind.
***
Mulan was driving her car still with a restless mind. However, even so he still focuses attention on the streets and around. However, the safety on the highway is the main, even though his safety in Bara Mulan's house has felt a great threat.
I don't know what he'll get. Mulan had even prepared herself from now on.
Entering the main gate and stopping his car in the courtyard, Mulan saw that Bara's car had been parked there. The man had already returned home.
If Mulan had left home in a hurry and full of enthusiasm, then the story is different now. The woman dismounted from the car, then stepped in slowly and with anticipation. He has a high level of vigilance. Perhaps the man set up a lot of mines to trap him around here.
Safe. Until entering the hallway to his room he did not find any obstacles at all. Even the atmosphere in his room also felt empty like there was no one. Then where is Bara now?
Feeling unsettled doing activities as usual, Mulan decided to look for the existence of Bara.
It's not that easy to find her husband. In some of the rooms she knew were Bara's favorite, Mulan didn't even find the man there. In the workspace, gym room and other rooms that Bara had used to rest were also absent.
Mulan gave a desperate sigh. It looks like Bara is nowhere. Intending to go to the back garden to relax he even met one of the household assistants.
"Mrs Mulan's home yet?" The woman in black stellan clothes greeted.
"Yes. Where are you from?" ask Mulan after confirming. He frowned looking at the empty tray the maid had brought.
"From the back garden, ma'am. Bring a cup of coffee to Mr. Bara."
Mulan's eyes bought. The one from earlier sought was in the back garden.
"Yes already. Go." Mulan.
"Does Madam want coffee or tea?" haggle that woman.
"No. Thank you," Mulan replied.
The servant finally nodded obediently before finally saying goodbye. Mulan herself quickly walked towards the glass sliding door that connected directly between her place and the back garden. She stood there, looking out to make sure her husband was there.
Justright. A man was sitting in a lounge chair with his back to him. Although his face was not at all visible, but Mulan had memorized who he was.
Worth looking for nothing, it turns out that here he is. Uh, what the hell is he doing? Is he really relaxing?
Mulan narrowed her eyes to focus her gaze. Is correct. From where it stands, it seems that Bara is flipping through the pages per page of a magazine while occasionally paying attention to its contents.
Is that how he's gonna stifle his anger? Relaxing while drinking coffee?
Mulan was sure Bara was very angry to see his true identity. Indeed, the care of Bara at that time looked very calm. However, Mulan knew her eyes looked threatening, to the point that she did not have the courage to return the man's gaze even though they had been having serious conversations about work.
Mulan also believes that the man is waiting for her to clarify. Is it true to wait for clarification, or to wait for war and destruction?
Oh naw. Suddenly Mulan was horrified by herself. His hand even involuntarily squeezed the door handle. Bad rumors about Bara are back. The shadow of Bara who likes to hurt his wife and do violence haunts his mind. Could it be his turn now?
Mulan felt her legs suddenly limp. Heart's pounding. The intention to meet seemed to have to be temporarily postponed. For whatever reason, he felt unprepared.
However, when she turned around and intended to leave, a man's voice greeted her eardrum and it succeeded in making Mulan freeze instantly.
"Where are you going to escape to? I know you're there."
Mulan was shocked. It was Bara's voice, even the man spoke without the slightest look at her. Mulan was suspicious, lest the man have four eyes? Two in the front, and two in the back. Otherwise, how could the man be aware of his existence?
Mulan let out a long breath. He closed his eyes to calm his mind. Already caught red-handed. Inevitably he had to turn around and approach Bara. He is not a loser who can run away from problems easily. If indeed Bara will do violence, he just stayed against it because he has the energy to fight. Simple, right?
Mulan finally walked slowly and stopped right in front of Bara. He's standing right there. However, which makes him feel upset, it has been pecking a bit long but Bara has not greeted him. The man was even pretentiously busy with his business magazine featuring a photo of a handsome man on the cover.
Yes, I know you are successful and handsome. But not gini either, right?
"Why silence?"
The unexpected words from Bara's lips made Mulan look at him with raised eyebrows.
"I?" The fool Mulan who actually asked back while pointing at him.
"Who else will provide clarification?" reply with questions anyway. He lifted his gaze, then looked at Mulan with a flat expression. The magazine in his hand also closed, then put slowly on the table in front of him. Still with a calm nature, he leaned back, folded his hands in front of his chest, then began to focus his attention on the beautiful figure.
"Truly I want to give you a clarification. However, seeing that you're busy with the magazine, I think I need to put it off for a bit and let you focus" Mulan explained honestly. However, it seems that he must be ready to feel annoyed because immediately Mulan also get a rebuttal from Bara.
"Reason. I've been waiting for you since. But you're wasting your time sculpting like that."
Mulan's mouth gaped. What did Bara say? He wastes his time? Is it not wrong, huh? Isn't Bara herself who wastes time by flipping through the pages of the obscure magazine?
"Why? Wanna protest?" Even Bara was able to guess before Mulan launched her protest. Forced, the woman could only sigh patiently looking for evasive reasons for her safety.
"Ah, no. Where I protested. I'm afraid you're busy. So how dare I disturb."
"Say. What do you want." Assertively. Not just from the tone of speech when asking, but from the gaze of the eyes as well. It seems Bara does not want to waste any more time, so choose seriously when communicating.
Mulan realized that. The wry smile that was originally on its back now slowly faded away changing into a tense face full of anxiety. However, because he felt right, Mulan finally dared to give resistance even though she was soft and sound resigned.
"none. It all just happened."
Bara snorted slowly. Although spoken with full confidence, but Mulan's answer has not given satisfaction.
Bara is an observant person and his brain is very intelligent. It is very difficult for him to give confidence if he feels disappointed. Indiscriminate, even to his own wife. Moreover, they were married not based on love.
Bara did not even think that the innocent woman who had been the Madam in her home was a two-faced woman. Who would have thought if women who come from villages without a clear background actually turned out to be the owner and leader of a large company.
Sloppy. He could be missing. Bara should have been suspicious on their wedding day, where Mulan whom he had previously known to be ugly suddenly turned beautiful. If not for the element of intentionality, then can a person's face change character just because of makeup alone?
"It just happened? Could it be?"
Mulan bowed lethargicly, while Bara pulled one corner of her lips together to form a grin. Obviously if the grin was singled out because he doubted Mulan's confession just now. It was easy for the woman to talk after doing everything.
Re-putting a flat face, Bara continued his words. The tone is slow. However, it is full of pressure. "You're a master con man who managed to fool me. You're a two-faced woman. Do you think that pretending to be a good wife can get me hooked on you? Don't dream, Mulan Jenica."
"Enough, Sir. Enough's enough!" peeked Mulan who felt unable to take it anymore. He looked at Bara with reddened eyes. His fingers clenched tightly restraining anger.
For whatever reason, Bara's accusations are cruel to him. Bara is clearly making it up because that is not the real fact.
"Please don't say a no-no if you don't know the facts, sir. You hurt my feelings with that false accusation!"
"Wounds? You feel hurt? What about those of me who have been cheated? You think I have no feelings!" reply harder.
"Would my actions hurt you?" reply Mulan quickly. "No, right? What did you lose? Do I manage your life? Are you as separated from your child as I am? No, right? So where's the scam you're referring to, huh? Where!"
Bara was silent, while Mulan sobbed after snapping. The defense that he had been building had finally collapsed as well. As strong as the mental he had, he was still a weak woman who easily shed tears.
It didn't take long for Mulan to dissolve in suffering. Now she was no longer the weak Mulan she used to be. Especially just because of a guy like Bara. But now he has the power. Mulan now has power. The current Mulan cannot be suppressed anymore.
"Why are you silent now?" Mulan raised her face then rubbed her face violently. He again showed a half-challenging face. "Let's judge me! Satisfied you're accusing me! Satisfy you cornered me! If I could choose, I wouldn't want to be here right now! I don't want to be stuck in a marriage without love. More should live with you. Separated from Rayyan! Do you think I am happy to accept this fate? No, Mister. I'm forced. I'm tormented! But I still have to survive for Rayyan's future. And you know what you're doing? You're like a loser who usually presses people!"
Mulan was silent when she saw Bara picking up a knife on the table. His eyes involuntarily widened, staring at Bara with a face of shock. His anger is now mingled with anxiety. Is it possible that he has gone too far to vent his anger? Lest his attitude had provoked Bara's anger to make his psychopathic instinct thrashing. What if the man wanted to kill him?
"What are you doing? You want what?" Mulan asked in horror as Bara looked at her sharply. Even more so when her husband tightened his grip on the knife.
"Cabin." It was also thought to have become reality. Let Mulan come closer.
"No way!" Mulan refused quickly. Of course he doesn't want to. Just be right. There are those who willingly give up their lives. Looks like he has to find shelter so as not to be targeted by Bara's dagger.
"Mulan Jenica's. You're my wife! I ordered you to come! Don't intend to run!" Now Bara's voice sounded very loud and full of coercion.
"No way," Mulan said as she shook her head. However, even so he did not have the courage to move on. The woman is in a dilemma. Having two equally unpleasant choices. Run and be thrown a dagger, or come forward and wield a knife. Steady. Both can take lives.
"Mulan!" call Bara again full of emphasis. Unfortunately, this time Mulan could not resist. Bara's call was like a magnetic pull for Mulan. He stepped forward even with a horrified face. Cold sweat poured out, and the body trembled. Moreover, he was now under the gaze of the Bara eagle's eyes.
"Sit down." Bara hinted after Mulan was close. Although afraid, but the woman did not have the power to refuse. Although she wanted to cry, Mulan obeyed Bara's orders by sitting by her side.
Like the defendant sitting at the green table, Mulan was like a sinner waiting for her punishment. Weak basic. Mulan even forgot how to fight. Why is he suddenly tame under Bara's control?
"Don't kill me!" his screech was frightened as Bara moved his hand. The woman even closed her eyes and put her hands in front of her face as if making it a shield of protection.
Bara who saw that instantly frowned confusedly. Who wants to kill people?
"Mulan," Bara rebuked as if he were conscious. He gently pulled Mulan's hand to look at her face. "Mulans. Open your eyes. Lookatme. Who would want to kill you?"
"You!" Mulan answered quickly, then charged at Bara in annoyance. "You want to kill me with that knife, don't you?"
He stared at the knife in his hand. However, he laughed out loud after realizing Mulan's misunderstanding.
"God. Who is going to kill you. I just want to ask you to help me get these fruits for me. You don't know I haven't eaten since? I'm starving, Mulan," explained Bara in a half whining tone.
