Marrying a Real Shadow

3. You That Man?

"The announcement was not surprising. Mother's more surprising behavior. She approached me then hugged me warmly then continued to speak, 'pretending to sob a little.'"

All eyes looked towards them.

"Anna deserves to be happy. He doesn't know anything. I wanted a daughter so badly when I was pregnant with Rafah, I even wished for my baby to be born twins. But the Lord answered everything with the coming of Anna, though at the same time brought the news of sorrow with the departure of my beloved husband. But none of this was Anna's fault. You guys should fuck him."

Everyone applauded at the short delivery of the wise mother. He then turned to smile at Anna. Then pulled his hand together with the man's hand standing right beside Rafah. Anna smiled, her heart crying. He ventured to look to the side looking at the man who was not the least bit willing to look at him. He just clasped Anna's hand.

"Do your job well, at least turn around and smile at me. Does everyone like to insult me?" anna whispered softly, throwing away her pride. He just couldn't stand it because everyone almost laughed at him.

The man smiled wryly. Then he took off his grip and wrapped his hand around Anna's waist suddenly.

"I will take good care of it" he said as he bowed in front of Anna's stepmother.

Anna was half-shocked, the man's reaction was too excessive. What did he just do? Anna didn't even know what the man's name was. Take good care of it? Very empty nonsense. Anna smiled forcibly again, at least everything the man did could slightly shut the mouths of those who were desperately scolding her again.

The man now turned to look at her for a moment and just kissed her forehead without warning. Anna was again shocked to death. The time around him seemed to stop for a moment. And the next incident was heartbreaking. Anna reflexively pushed Meihan's chest hard until he fell to the floor. His chest instantly tightened, the masculine scent of the man miraculously made him recall the last 10 nights before that night. She was like hearing her mother's little scream, and then the voice spun quickly they reworked everything. Tragically.

Rafah who saw that instantly quickly hugged the frightened Anna. He knows what happened to his brother.

Anna, who knew that the man was Rafah, screamed and cried in her arms.

The room was silent for a moment before it was finally broken by the voice of Anna's stepmother who immediately apologized.

The butler and several other servants came and quickly herded Anna's body to be taken away from there. Rafah was also about to leave before being intercepted by his mother. "You can't get involved with that damn woman!" his mother's growl made him stop.

"We apologize for this incident. Anna was indeed very wary of the person she had just known. Meihan please forgive Anna's disrespect," he said half-holding the awkwardness.

Meihan nodded softly while fixing his suit as well as clearing up a couple of times of the fever to relieve the embarrassment.

The welcoming party was now over even though it was a little awkward. Anna's stepmother quickly stepped towards Anna's room with a dead red face. He accelerated his pace to the point that the sound of his shoes exclaiming was bluffing the entire house.

"Anna!" he shouted as he reached the front door of the room. He smashed the door hard and walked over to Anna who was weakly drooping on her bed.

"Wake you!" strangle her loudly while pulling her hand forcefully.

Anna, who was half powerless again, only heard the resignation and groaned softly asking to be pitied.

"Sorry Mom, I screwed it up...."

One slap landed on his cheek unmitigated.

"You know how hard it is for me to persuade Meihan's father? We made a deal because Meihan himself was willing. But what are you doing? Wake you!" shouted the woman while pulling Anna's hand to make her forced to sit beside the bed with resignation.

"Sorry Mom, I just...."

Not yet finished he finished his sentence his stepmother directly slapped him again loudly.

"You must not be a holy-spirited, bastard child like you only become a disgrace in this family. Still grateful I'm looking for you a nice guy from a distinguished family," he concluded full of emotion.

"Haha...." Anna laughed softly feeling her twist of fate was unfair again.

"You still have a smile? A laugh? Not shameless!" He raised one of his hands again and was ready to slap Anna for the umpteenth.

Anna's eyes flushed. "Do you know how my mother educated me? He just needs to be stronger and stronger. I just need to be strong until I'm really strong to prove that my mother and I have been innocent all along! A traitor like you must live a long life and find a real reward" he rebuked softly while holding the pain on his right cheek.

"Braven you well...!" He was about to throw the umpteenth slap, next, but the slap was thwarted a few seconds later. Rafah swiftly held his mother's hand.

"Quite Ma'am, Meihan also understood the incident earlier. Don't exaggerate," lerai Rafah, his eyes staring worriedly at Anna.

His mother looked furious. "Why do you always protect women****** that?!" screaming emotions.

Huft, his mother took a slow breath, not wanting any more wrinkles on her face. He chose to leave the room. Surrender, the important thing is to finish venting his anger.

"You've become a grown man apparently?" anna's teasing broke the silence.

"I will arrange for the cancellation of this match. You don't have to worry."

"No need, I'll handle it myself." replied Anna while opening her palm. "I want to challenge the lines on this palm. Relying on you will only bring down your reputation."

"Well if it's your decision" he replied without refuting and about to walk away.

"You knew? I'll destroy you later and your mother. Stop protecting me."

"You have no reason to destroy me. I wasn't born from that woman's womb."

"Stay, everyone thinks that you...."

"Good night...." Rafah closes Anna's room door, exiting before the girl finishes her sentence.

Anna was silent for a moment and then stepped into the bathroom. Before soaking in a bath up. He took the time to brush his teeth and face in front of the mirror. "Look how I destroyed myself, Mother. All of this must end tonight" he meant on the reflection of his reflection in the mirror in front.

Slowly he went into the bath up without realizing that his reflection in the mirror was smiling before he turned around.

Attacked by despair and injustice, he immediately drowned his entire body into a bath up.

"I'm ready to meet you, Mother, fuck this. If Mom's calculations are correct, send your messenger to come to my aid, "he asked in between the screeching waters.

The feeling of tightness is getting more excruciating. He did not intend to bring his head to the surface just to release carbon dioxide and breathe oxygen. There was no reason for him to do that.

After all these hours. She smiled when she was barely conscious, the fond memories of being with her mother now flashed through her head. Wasn't it when people were about to die the last thing he saw was the thing that made him the happiest? 'I'm in that phase, right? I miss seeing Mom smile like that. It's good to see Mom be my fondest memory.'

He was so savoring that he did not realize that the door to his room was being broken and forcibly opened by Meihan, Rafah, and several other male servants. There is also a look of his stepmother as well as a fit-bodied butler.

"A little more...." Anna closed her eyes for the last time. Goodbye goodbye....

In those critical moments, suddenly a fit hand came into the bath up through the water and pulled his body out of it.

"What are you doing?" shout Rafah.

Meihan quickly performed first aid to remove water from the girl's body and lungs. He pumped his chest with all his might so Anna could breathe again. His body is pale. Meihan's father and mother also came in to see how troubled Anna was.

"Call ambulance!" Meihan's orders and still trying to pull out the water that clogs Anna's lungs.

'I told you it's over.'

"Wake Anna!" Meihan whispered in his ear.

'Who forbade me to die? Is he the one you sent? No need.'

Anna spontaneously coughed and let out water from her mouth.

"Why? I've done it a little bit more." Anna observed her faded surroundings.

Some people immediately carried his body into the ambulance.

"Why is that guy here?" His eyes were half-consciously fixed on Meihan whose clothes were already wet. The man was rubbing his hair which was also wet and looked so worried from the way he breathed, cut off.

"Anna! Forgive Mommy...." Her stepmother's illness is now over. He pretended to feel guilty for what happened to Anna.

Is my prayer answered now? Is that guy my great way to get stronger.
