I'll avenge my Revenge

Arrival of Aaron

Ericka pulled Azzam's hand away from the place, they hid behind the wall of one of the store outlets there. Ericka tried to calm Azzam who had just cried.

"Calm down, you won't let them hurt you" he told the boy.

"Yes, sister." she replied with a sob.

Hearing the sound of footsteps getting closer to them and stopping not far from them, Ericka tried not to make a sound, and tried to calm the child to stop crying.

"She, hush.. We'll be found out again" he whispered.

The boy nodded, they curled up in fear hiding behind the wall and covered in cardboard mounds in front of him.

"Sunny, are they gone?" said confused.

He tried to peek out from the side of the cardboard, he didn't see anything in front of him and maybe the criminals were gone.

"Let's get out of here before we get caught by them" he told the boy without turning his head.

He moved forward while desperately trying to be vigilant, just in case the criminal came back. But there was something strange, there was no sound of the child making a sound or the sound of his footsteps following since earlier.

His feelings mixed with all the thoughts in his brain, he was very surprised when he looked back Azzam was already in the arms of the mother who did not want him at all.

"Haha! You idiot, you think you're so smart huh?! This jal*ng woman is trying to be a hero of the night apparently!" said the woman looked at him cynically.

Not long after, there were some men there as well. They were visibly riled up to see Ericka and Azzam, perhaps tired of running for him.

Plaque!

The rough hand landed on the face of the innocent child, the father who should have protected him now like an enemy in a blanket. Ericka couldn't do anything because she had been detained by her boyfriend earlier.

"Basic child does not know himself! I've raised you but what are you doing?! It's good that I married your mother and became your father, I think that man was lucky to leave your mother and this child like you!" the man said while beating the boy.

He beat Azzam like he beat up a grown man, he slapped, hit, stomped several times he banged the boy's head against the side of the narrow alley wall of the border between the outlets one to the other.

Ericka could only cry and close her eyes could not bear to see the little boy being treated like that, while the mother just kept her head down to do nothing.

"Basic bastards! If you don't want him why you let him stay by your side! Leave him alone, let him live alone.

And you're a selfless woman, already know that guy's character is ugly why do you want him to marry you?! You just want to kill your son!" furious Ericka.

"His biological father is not responsible, I tried to throw it away while in the womb, but this child is very strong, still alive today.

Lucky she wants to marry me, at least I'm not ashamed to give birth to a child without a husband, should she be grateful to be able to live until now!" the woman answered without sin.

"Based on your evil man! I can't even describe what kind of man you are! Animals just love their children so much, but you guys are like this." said Ericka furious.

"Shut up! Fuckin' jal*ng, watch out-" the guy after all-out hitting Azzam he also wanted to hit Ericka, but failed.

"Stop! Raise your hands, you won't be able to escape anywhere because you're surrounded!" I heard someone at the end of the alley.

How surprised they saw three strong-bodied policemen brandishing their pistols, they wanted to turn around and were shocked to see that some people were waiting for them in the opposite direction.

Want to not want them to just obey, there is no place to hide from there or a way to escape. Ericka immediately ran towards Azzam who fainted unconscious, his nose and mouth bleeding, his whole body bruised, swollen and there were some parts of his bones broken.

"I'm sorry, you can't protect me! Let's get out of here." she said in tears.

His small body was strong enough to carry the 10-year-old, either because he was strong or the boy was too thin, but when he wanted to walk towards the front while holding Azzam, he was very strong, there was someone who wanted to grab Azzam from his carrier, and of course it shocked him.

"Let go! Who are you?!" he was afraid that someone else would want to hurt Azzam again.

"Relax, baby.. It's me!" he heard a familiar voice in his ears.

"A-aron?!" how surprised he was to see the man who had already made his heart flutter was there.

"Why are you here?" tanyanya.

"Let's talk about it, let's get this kid to the hospital, right away!" said Aaron while grabbing Azzam in Ericka's sling.

For a moment Ericka was stunned to see that the man was suddenly in front of her, then immediately came to her senses when Aaron started calling her name and caught up with the man.

"I don't know very well about this area, but it's not too far from Jakarta. So let's just follow the police car where he's going to take this kid" Aaron said as he drove his car to follow the car in front of him.

Police escorted them to a nearby hospital to deal with Azzam immediately, the boy was critical and unconscious due to the mistreatment of his stepfather.

While his mother and stepfather have been arrested in prison with other friends, this time they will not be easy to get out of prison, because severe punishment awaits due to neglect and mistreatment of the child.

Ericka and Aaron are waiting outside the ICU room, they are waiting for Azzam who is being treated by several doctors there. After a while a doctor came out with another nurse.

"What about the kid, Doc?!" ask Ericka curious.

"The injury was quite severe, there were some broken bones and we also saw some old scars on the child's body, it looks like he suffered this torture for quite a while.

You better report this incident to the police, and if you want I'm willing to provide a visa report for this child" said the doctor.

"Good, Doc.. Thank you, please help!" ericka said a little relieved.

Bruk!

Ericka fainted instantly, she was exhausted and endured the pain for quite a while and finally the body could not hold it anymore, Aaron was very panicked, he took Ericka to the other doctor, to check her condition.

Ericka was admitted to the hospital room, the luxurious VIP room was usually used by executive patients, when it was morning, I don't know it was noon.

He slightly squinted his eyes because of the glare by the sunlight that entered through the window curtain slit of the room, Ericka saw Aaron asleep beside him, sleeping while sitting holding his hand.

"You're so nice, I don't know what to do without your help. All this time I was strong and able to stand on my own with my feet thanks to your help, although I don't know who told you to do all this.

But thank you, I'm really grateful... Since you were always there for me, I really-" his words came to a halt as Aaron's hand tightened his grip.

"I am also very grateful to you for making my days a little colorful, from you I can process my emotions well.

I've been cold, heartless, cruel.. Once I know you I can control my emotions, Ericka. I can smile sincerely without making things up, and I can also laugh with relief.

Everything is because of you, it has been almost two months since your return to Indonesia, I feel lonely again.. Because I miss you, miss the innocent figure and bring you, your adorable behavior.

Haha, I miss you.. Because I love you, I love you." said Aaron as he stared fixedly at Ericka.

Ericka was only fixated on hearing Aaron's words, the cold man and always showing his emotions flatly was now looking at her softly, his sparkling eyes as he looked at her, the first person she considered to be his helper, it seemed to hold a taste so deep to him.

She only smiled as Aaron kissed her forehead gently, the man looked at her lovingly while gently rubbing his head, without her noticing that someone was staring at them from the outside.

Someone who has long harbored feelings for him, even though he is the first kiss for the girl but can not be denied if he is not her first love.

"I hope you're always happy, and don't cry anymore.. I will sincerely accept everything as long as it's what you want, because I will be happy if I want to be happy" said the man staring softly at Ericka.

Suddenly someone rubbed her back from behind, she turned to see that Jessy was there to strengthen her. Jessy asked him to go a little away from the room.

"How do you feel better now, it turns out that he didn't choose you, but your boss!" said Jessy.

"No, I'm fine even though it feels like there's pain in the heart. People say it's common to see people we love prefer to be with others, not ourselves.

And I think there's a point too, anyway we don't have any relationship, just clients, partners, friends.. Nothing more, but it hurts to secretly love but that person is insensitive.

Never mind, no need to talk about it anymore! I am sincere, and let me slowly forget this feeling. Let's just focus on our mission here" said Stanley trying to hold a drop of water trying to get out of his eyes.

Jessy can understand the feelings of her friend and partner, while in the room their boss is accompanying their friend and also their closest person, Ericka.

In the room, Aaron never let go of his gaze to Ericka, the girl was uncomfortable with his gaze, just want to suckle it feels uncomfortable if diiatin continue so.

"Stop, that look of yours makes me uncomfortable. I think the Cctv is being watched like that" Ericka said.

"Haha! Sorry, sorry.. I didn't mean it that way, sorry well." she said with a sweet smile.

"Try me, how can you be here? Since when?" ask Ericka curious.

"I told you I'd catch up with you.. I will formally ask your family to make you my wife" Aaron said casually.

"What-what?!" ericka was surprised by his words.

"Why? You don't like it?" ask Aaron.

"It's not so, it's too soon." said Ericka again.

"I'm not coming to marry you now, I won't force you.. We do it when you're ready, when we need to get married together with your brother, or after." said Aaron again.

"What do you mean, married together with my brother? Sister Reva is married, you mean Rendy's sister?" ericka asked confusedly.

"Eh, don't you know that Rendy's sister is engaged?! Sorry, sorry.." said Aaron so wrong, because of keceplosan.

Ericka looked at him suspiciously, she noticed the man in front of her was clingy and intense, of course it made Aaron more misbehaved, and added feeling regret.

"Are you hiding something from me? Answer honestly, however surely the truth I will know, you better just tell me, than I know other lies" said Ericka while looking at him sharply.

Just now that he was happy and happy with the presence of the man in his life, for some reason he felt betrayed again, his eyes began to tear up looking at Aaron.

"Don't look at me like that, well I'll say everything and promise to understand and believe that I am, ah no! We I mean, do all this for your sake too." said Aaron felt guilty hiding that fact.

"What do you mean to me? Is it still said to be a good thing if from the beginning there were lies!" ericka looked at him in disbelief.

"Go, I want to be alone first. I'm tired.." said Ericka again.

He settles down on his bed and covers himself until his head, hiding from Aaron's sight. He turned his back on the man while holding back his cries.

"Alright, rest.. I'll be back when you're calm" Aaron said.

He came out of the room with a broken feeling, because he accidentally said a word he was finally unable to hold the secret, again, the secret was that he had known his true identity long before they met, and that feeling also came long before he looked directly at the girl.
