Marrying an Abuser's Ex-Husband

Chapter 18

Tia was flabbergasted, as her unknown man pointed at a sharp weapon. Fear slipped into Tia's heart. Tia's fragile body trembled, her sweat drenching her forehead.

"A ... What would you like, you?" tia's voice choked only up in the throat. The man wearing the black hodie smiled with a grin. In front of him was a hefty prey to eat today. Tia was like a weak rabbit unable to put up a fight on a tiger.

The man grinned and threatened Tia.

"Give me your purse and your HP, otherwise don't blame me forcibly and this knife stuck in your stomach. Quickly surrender!" threaten the man.

Tia panicked, screaming for help.

"Tolooong ..." cried Tia, but it didn't take long for the man to silence Tia's mouth.

"Mmmph ...." Tia thrashed as her mouth was blocked by the robber.

"Shut up! If you yell again, I'll make sure this knife slashes your pretty face!" hardik the man. He managed to scare Tia. Tia blinked her eyes. Currently following the will of the robber is the best because his life is currently under threat.

The man is happy when his prey has been mastered. "Give me your bag and cell phone, quick!" grit the guy again. He doesn't let Tia steal the chance to escape.

The man's scar slipped off due to a bite from Tia. "No ... Nay!!go ... leave you from here ...." Tia shouted loudly, she did not care about the threat of that person.

Hearing Tia still yelling, the thug panicked about to stab Tia with his knife. As the thug's hand was about to pierce, suddenly came a person who struck with the block of thug's hand.

Bugh ... Bugh ....

"Armgh!" squeal the thug.

Tia looked at who had hit the thug who was threatening her.

"Sister Hans?" peekik Tia's.

Tia ran towards Hans, not realizing he was hugging Hans tightly. Tia hid her face in Hans' chest.

Because Hans reflexes held Tia tightly. He protected Tia from those thugs.

"Review, you!" the thug shouted as he ran away from Hans and Tia. He held her hand which was aching from Hans's punch.

"Are you okay?" hans asked Tia in a worried tone.

"Eh, sorry Brother. I didn't mean it, I'm afraid of those thugs." Tia took off her embrace.

"It's okay. Calm down, the thug is gone," Hans replied awkwardly. Hans scratched his non-itchy head. There was a strange swish sneaking in as Tia suddenly hugged him.

"Thank you, sister," said Tia.

"Yes alike. I'd better take her home, be safe. Fear the thugs are tailing you," Hans bargained with Tia.

"B ... Ja. Once again thank you, sister," replied Tia resignedly following Hans. He was quite traumatized by the incident.

Tia enters Hans's car which is still parked in front of the mini market. Tia was grateful, Hans helped her today. Tia looked at Hans who was focusing on driving the car.

Tia was surprised, she was confused. Should he answer Hans's question. Tia stared fixedly at Hans who was driving, she decided to tell him all.

Ciiiit ...

The car is suddenly brake, thankfully the streets are quiet so as not to cause an accident.

"What?! Wulan married Ridho?" Hans was surprised. He also returned his car.

"Now Wulan is also pregnant? Good thing I divorced Wulan ... I didn't think my decision was disastrous for you, Tia. If I hadn't divorced Wulan, Ridho would still be with you!" hans again. There was a feeling of guilt slipping in his heart.

"It's not Hans' fault, ma'am. It's Tia's destiny. Tia was grateful to know that all this time Ridho did not love Tia," replied Tia by wiping her tears that began to drip. The wounds he tried to bury were opened.

"Remove your tears, Tia. Forgive Brother, if Brother's decision makes you suffer." Hans gave Tia a tissue.

Tia who was crying did not realize that Hans was turning the car towards her house. Hans just wanted to make amends to Tia.

"Lhhh ... Sis, who are we at?" tia asked as the car entered the courtyard of a very luxurious house.

Hans was silent not answering Tia's question. He focused on parking the car in his garage. After perfectly parked Hans took Tia down.

"Let's go down, Tia." Hans went down first, followed by Tia.

"This is my house, I live here with my mother. But if I'm bored then I'm staying at my apartment. I purposely brought you here so that you would feel safe and have friends in this town" Hans said at the entrance.

Tia was stunned for a moment to see Hans who loved her mother so much. "Sir ..thank you for helping me" Tia said sincerely.

"Take it all to make amends for you. Let's better see mom, he'll be very happy with you." Hans pulls Tia's hand into her house.

"Mom, look who Hans is carrying" said Hans, approaching his mother who was watching television in the living room.

Ningsih-Mother Hans turned her head towards her son's voice, she reviewed a smile as bright as the sun. Ningsih did not expect that Hans would dare to bring a woman home. Bu Ningsih was surprised, it turns out that the woman brought by his son was the sister of Hans-Wulan's ex-wife.

"Oh, You, Tia? How are you, Son?" Welcome Ms. Ningsih with a big smile.

There was a warm sigh in Tia's body, like the sun that warms the earth.

"Thank God be good, ma'am." Tia replied while kissing Bu Ningsih's hand.

"Hans, where did you meet Tia?" Bu Ningsih asked Hans who was sitting next to him. Hans recounts the beginning of his meeting with Tia. Hans also tells how Tia got to this town on her own.

"Really, Tia?" ask Ningsih to Tia. Tia nodded her head without making a sound. Tia's tongue is dry, her throat is dry, tears are wetting her cheeks in light of the betrayal Ridho and her older sister committed.
