Husband From Hell (Home From Hell)

Secrets are hidden

Today it just so happened that Nicholas left for the office in his own car. Reynald, who has not returned to his parents' hometown for several months, finally decided to ask for a three-day leave. He wants to take off his longing with his mother and father.

"Mom, Rey is kangen." Reynald hugged his mother. "Have you had breakfast?"

Reynald's mother nodded silently. For 10 years, the woman had been paralyzed, requiring her to use a wheelchair to help with her activities.

"Rey misses Dad, Mom." Reynald sat down on the dining table chair and grabbed a sandwich and put it in his mouth.

"How about we go see Dad this afternoon?"

Reynald's mother nodded again without a sound.

After enjoying breakfast with his mother, Reynald stepped into his room. He spread his body while staring at the ceiling of his room. Recalling 30 dark years of memory.

Flashbacks

At that time, a great accident struck a small family who were about to visit. The car he was riding suddenly hit a container truck because of the brakes of his car that blong.

"Darling, wake up baby!" Reynald's mother cried as she continued to try to wake her husband who could no longer breathe. "Bay_ngun!" he said softly with blood dripping from his temple. She sobbed as she continued to thrash, hoping that something miracle would come to her husband.

The little Reynald who survived the crash was just huddled beside a wall as several police officers and health teams tried to help him wake up. Luckily he and his mother were sitting behind the wheel, so the injuries weren't so severe. While the father who brought his car was unable to withstand the hit of a container truck with a load of steel that hit his head to crumble.

"Does my father survive?" little Reynald asked a medic.

All the eyes that looked at the little boy were looking bitter. "Darling, now we go to the hospital first! your hands should be treated immediately, so that the wound will recover quickly," the nurse told little Reynald.

"But my father survived, right?" again he repeated the question that was clearly impossible.

Reynald was deeply guilty of this incident. The reason, this holiday is Reynald's class hike vacation, and he himself chose his place.

If Reynald hadn't chosen that place, maybe bad things wouldn't have happened to their little family.

Due to the massive bleeding, Reynald's father was not saved. Since then, Reynald's mother has been often in pain due to the inner pressure she suffered after her husband left her. At its peak 10 years ago, when his mother was shopping at the market, an unknown person suddenly rode a motorcycle very fast and hit his mother's body until it bounced a few meters. And finally since that incident, Reynald's mother was paralyzed and unable to do activities without the help of a wheelchair.

Twenty years later, as Reynald grows up, Mr. Jhonson, finally appoints Reynald back as his family's personal driver, just as his father used to be. But this time Reynald did not work for Jhonson, but their son Nicholas. Reynald knew Nicholas.

But wait, Reynald actually before becoming a private driver was a general manager at a private company in one of the city centers. Why did he become a driver?

So, when Jhonson came to visit his house to just stay in touch, Reynald told him that he was unemployed. There's something Reynald wants to look for in the conglomerate's family. Mystery of his father's death. Reynald was convinced that something was wrong when the great accident happened. Reynald was also convinced that someone had sabotaged everything. Maybe someone who doesn't like it because Reynald's father is very close to his employer. So, when he had the opportunity to meet his father's former employer, Reynald decided to get into the family, despite having to sacrifice his career and switch professions from a general manager to a personal driver.

Why is Reynald convinced that something is wrong with the mystery of his father's death? that's because Reynald saw a man dressed all in black at his father's funeral the same as the man he had been riding in his car while going on an excursion. And it's Reynald's fault he didn't tell his father and mother about the mysterious man. If Reynald had told him, maybe his family would have survived that time.

"Dad, I'm going to keep trying to find out who that person that ruined our family is."

So far, Reynald has not found a bright spot about who the perpetrator was. There was actually one person he suspected and deserved more attention. That person was Mr. Jhonson's personal driver who had been working since his father's death to date. But, as time went on, Reynald only bagged the man's identity as a former mobster before working as a driver.

Reynald has to go the extra mile to find out who did it. So that all his tan marks during this time could be answered, and he could take revenge for his family.

Thinking of all that made Reynald's head heavy and instantly drowsy to attend. Reynald soon drowned in his dreams.

"Son, if you grow up and mature, be like Mr. Jhonson. He was very kind and generous to anyone in need" Reynald's father told little Reynald at the time.

"Did you love him so much?"

Reynald's father nodded. "Dad was very eager to always be able to take care of him to the body of a lifeless father."

"If Rey grows up, let Rey take his place to take care of Mr. Jhonson" said little Reynald with innocence.

"Hahaha, you're this. You have to have more than just be a driver, son. If you need to, you can be a judge, a lawyer. You can also protect Mr. Johnson if you become a cop."

"Ah, yes. I was right." Reynald chuckles amusedly with his father. They were eating and drinking in the garden. This is often done if his father has returned to work in that house.

"But,"

"But why Dad?"

"There's one thing that's been stuck in dad's mind."

"What's that?"

"There is a man who has no intention of being kind to the Lord Jhonson."

"Who's Dad?"

"He was the person closest to Mr. Jhonson himself. He also has as much power as Lord Jhonson. Hence, I was afraid to find out more about him. I'm afraid he'll use his powers to get rid of Dad, and then I can't protect Mr. Jhonson anymore."

"What is Dad saying?"

"Something you'll understand."

Reynald was shocked from his sleep. Breath gasping. The dream just now was the clue he had needed all along.

Yes, he remembered, when he was 7 years old. His father told me about it. And why Reynald remembers now.

Yeah, now Reynald knows who to look for. Who should he investigate. Not the private driver who had replaced his father. But the one who has the same power as Mr. Jhonson. And that means, his own wife, Kelly.

What secrets has Kelly been holding?
