Marrying my Maid

Misunderstand

"Well, how can I tell her husband?"

Farhan growled stifled. He clenched his hands while looking at Citra's face.

Farhan's attention was now on Citra's little book. Because of curiosity, he opened it. Farhan frowned while reading the writing which was an outpouring of the heart of Citra.

Farhan smiled slanted then looked at Citra. He was very surprised when he read one of Citra's outpouring of hearts that contained :

*** Today You forced me again. This time he threatened to harm Mom and Dad. I wanted to refuse, but I was scared . I think I'm very tired. I want to give up, but who will help Mom and Dad if I give up? I hate my dirty body . I hate everything that's on me . Lord, if I may choose I would not be born into this world. ***

"He should be able to report this to the police. But, well, maybe this woman is cheap." murmured Farhan.

By nightfall, Daniel had just arrived home. He walked on when he entered the house. His face looked glum, as if there was no sense of spirit in his heart.

Daniel breathed out slowly. His heart was broken again when he remembered Citra. He felt guilty but his heart confirmed his actions to Citra.

"I hope you're okay, Cit" murmured Daniel.

"Why, Niel? Tumben your face is so moody?" asked Darren who was astonished when he saw the expression of his sister.

Daniel looked doubtfully at Darren. He looked around and approached Darren.

"Sister Darren. Image...., pregnant?"

"What?! You impregnate Citra, Niel? Jeez I didn't expect it." said Darren in shock.

Daniel rolled his eyes lazily. He sat down and said, "I'm not the one who likes to grow crops before marriage, Brother Darren?" daniel's Insincer to his Brother.

Darren glares. "What did you say?" darren's answer was unacceptable.

"I'm right, aren't I?" reply Daniel with a faint smile.

"Ck! So who's impregnating, Citra?" ask Darren.

"Laki - the man who accompanied Citra came here?" daniel said lazily.

Darren nodded his head, after which he said, "Then, why are you gloomy now? Are you jealous?"

"It's not because of jealousy, Darren. But this is much more important than that."

"What's that?" ask Darren to know.

"Partra asked me to marry her. He's bi...."

"Daniel Atha Vijaya! What have you done to Citra?"

Daniel and Darren looked over. The two were shocked when they saw Helena standing up while shaking her waist not far from them.

"Mama? When was Mom there?" ask Daniel.

"Don't switch Daniel's conversation! What have you done to Citra!" Reload Helena. His face looked tense as anger began to appear in his heart.

"I didn't do anything, Ma?" answer Daniel.

"But why did you say Citra was pregnant and asked to get married? Don't you try to lie to Mama!" Helena looked at Daniel.

Daniel took a deep breath. She pulled her hair and sat on the sofa. Daniel closed his eyes for a moment before finally coming back to face Helena.

"Mama misunderstood. Daniel never impregnated Citra" said Darren, who tried to calm Helena down.

"You shut up, Darren! Mama's talking to Daniel" Helena said.

"But I'm serious, Ma. Daniel never did anything to Citra. The image was of being pregnant with another man" Darren said, trying to explain.

"Partner fooled, Ma? Her husband-to-be ruined her later when Citra was already pregnant she immediately cancelled their marriage. The image of stress and anxiety is that everyone is blaming him." Daniel replied.

Helena immediately fell silent to Daniel's explanation. He sat down and looked at Daniel.

"You're serious, aren't you, Niel? You're not lying to Mama, are you?" ask Helena again. This time he looked at Daniel with great attention.

"Why am I lying, don't talk about him anymore. Better Mama just rest there," said Daniel lazily.

"But Mama wants to ask you a few things, Niel. It's about you and also the image."

Daniel scrunched his forehead and looked in wonder at his mother. Because all this time Helena never offended about Image. That's what makes Daniel wonder - ask why Helena wants to discuss Citra.

"Mama wants what? Me and Citra have nothing to do with it. And I've never done anything bad to her either."

"Isn't that what you want to ask, Niel? So...." Helena stopped her words while looking doubtfully at Daniel.

"So what, Ma?" ask Daniel in curiosity.

"You really don't have any feelings for Citra?" helena's successful question left Daniel speechless.

Daniel took his eyes off Helena. Instead, he chose to look at the painting on the wall.

"Daniel.." Helena's speech stopped.

"Ma, don't discuss anything about Citra. I already have flowers. I don't want to make Bunga misunderstand." Daniel said cutting off Helena's words.

Hearing Daniel's words, Helena sighed softly. Look at her son with affection.

"Is that exactly what you're afraid of, Niel? I'm afraid you won't be happy with Flowers. Mama's afraid you'll be overwhelmed with all that?"

"Ma, don't think that no - no. I'm fine and Mama doesn't have to worry, soon I'll be able to love her" Daniel said in a slightly upset tone.

"But Niel.."

"Already - it's Ma! Daniel is an adult. He knows what is good and what is bad. Better not to talk about this again! Let Daniel go his own way" said Darren, who was silent. He looked at Helena and smiled to calm her down.

Helena closed her eyes. He nodded then returned a smile from Darren.

"Then all right, Mama trusts you, Niel. Don't ever disappoint me with Mom, yeah!"

"I know." Daniel replied briefly.

"Alright, then Mama go to the room first, you two get some rest!" Helena said to her two sons.

After Helena's departure, the atmosphere of the living room became silent. Darren and Daniel don't talk to each other. Both are busy with their own thoughts.

"What do you want after this, Daniel?" darren asked as he glanced at Daniel.

"How's what?" daniel asked confused.

"I mean your relationship with Flowers. You certainly can't just stay quiet like this, right?" darren answered, explaining.

"The plan is I'm going to propose Bunga.But I don't know, for now I can't think of it." replied Daniel lethargic.

"You're still thinking of Imagery, Niel?"
