Nina was still lying in her bedroom bed, after Johan drove her home after her abduction drama that shocked her heart and soul. Especially if you remember so stuffy and dark the basement, making the shadow of events that befall him and his nona continue to swirl around in his mind like a slide that is deliberately displayed in front of his eyes.
And at this moment, Nina was pensive alone. Johan, who drove her home, made haste to leave again after helping Nina clean up. Yes, there is certainly a duty from his employer that is far more important to a Johan, than to pay attention to the condition of Nina after the tragedy of her abduction. Don't accompany him. Asking and checking if Nina was injured or not, Johan did not do it. He only helped Nina clean up, laid Nina on the bed, covered her and gave a kiss on the forehead and then left again on the orders of Daniel, the employer he loved more than anything.
“In his heart, I'm in priority how?” nina murmured in the heart.
The incident in the basement made Nina realize fully, that she was the umpteenth person in Johan's heart after Daniel, Ryan and also Rani. Even when Johan did the rescue action, he only glanced at Nina for a moment without caring or just removing the rope that binds to her body. Johan only focuses on the safety of Rani, who is none other than one of his employers after Daniel reconciled with the House of Dewangga. Johan comes and hugs her after Ryan orders her to take Nina home.
And now, two hours had Nina lying alone, enjoying the flash after flash of the frightening event she had just faced.
Chequek.
Suddenly the sound of the door opening.
“Is he back?” inner Nina.
Nina closed her eyes and pretended to sleep to avoid seeing her husband. Disappointment, anger, and hope that seemed lost in his new life with Johan, now raging in his chest. Increasingly, Johan's footsteps were getting closer, before finally the step was right to stop on one side of the bed that Nina was now lying there.
Before long, Johan approached Nina, stroked her head and kissed her affectionately. Nina did not budge, getting that treatment from her husband. He kept his eyes closed, hoping that his clenched eyes could hold back the tears that were already welling up at the end of his eyes.
Realizing no response from Nina, Johan again left Nina.
“Tuh right, where else would he go? He really doesn't care about his wife. Even asking if I was hurt or not only did he not do it,” Nina grumbled in her heart, when she heard the sound of the door being reopened.
However, just as Nina was dissolving with various prejudices in her heart, there was suddenly the sound of water gurgling from the direction of the bathroom.
“It turns out she didn't go?” inner Nina was again a little relieved.
After about ten minutes, Johan came out of the bathroom, then headed for the closet to pick up his change of clothes. After she put on her clothes, she came back to Nina who still did not want to open her eyes.
Johan got into bed, got into the blanket that Nina was wearing and then close her body with his wife's body. He pecked the tip of his wife's head warmly, then he buried his face on the nape of his wife's neck and hugged her so tightly.
Getting such a sweet treatment, Nina did not feel tears dripping. Even more and more, the tears that flowed down her cheeks grew more and more, making her sobs unbearable. Realizing that his wife was crying, Johan turned Nina's body back to him.
“No need to pretend to be nice to me. Didn't you ever care about me? What else loves me?” Nina tried to pull over the hand of Johan who is currently still actively touching his body.
“What do you mean, darling? Didn't I tell you I love you? How can you say that I don't care about you?” Johan tried to grab Nina's face and make her return her gaze.
“Cih, another on the other lips in the heart,” Nina turned her face away, then rubbed the tears that broke on her cheeks violently.
“This is why?” Johan raised his voice, not understanding what his wife was saying.
“Look, even you have started yelling at me, on the third day of our wedding,” exclaimed Nina, raising her voice.
“Alright, I'm sorry. But can you tell me what my mistake was until you suddenly get angry like that?” johan's voice returned.
“No. You're not wrong anything. What is wrong is that I, who so wish that you would love me sincerely, make me the queen who rules over all the empty space in your heart, also take care of me with all your soul and body. And it turns out that I was so wrong, to have expected all that from the man who married me just because he fulfilled the wish of Daniel Cullen, your master who turned out to be my cousin's older brother,” Nina, who was my cousin, the village girl who was usually very polite in her words, now turned violent due to the tremendous pain in her heart.
“Why do you say that, heh?” Johan could not stand his wife's behavior anymore.
“Why did you say? Once you don't care about me, you can still ask why? After you left me in a position I was scared and my hands and feet were tied you still said why? After you drove me and left me back without you asking me if I was hurt or not you're still asking me why? You only care about your master and your non. While I?” now that Nina had cried so much, even her hands she used to close her face, feeling grain by tear that kept dripping on her cheeks.
Johan silently stared at Nina's words, and tried to digest every word of his wife who was very surprising.
“So because of that?” Johan was still trying to ask, while Nina had no intention to answer at all her husband's questions.
“More importance of my duty, not because I put aside and do not love you. Do you know how strong my bond with my master is? My bond with him is not just a bond between the employer and the men. You know why? Without him I would not live in the world. He was an angel who had saved my life, even in his current condition. He who at that time lived a short life willing to support me who lived as a vagrant,” Johan sighed violently.
“While in that basement, I didn't take off your tali first and chose to save Miss because I knew you weren't in any danger. While Miss? There was even a firearm stuck to his head and could be released at any time. You think I don't want to hug you right away, take you home and take care of you after the scary thing that happened to you? I'd love to, honey. Hugely. But did you know? Just as I drove you home, my master almost took his life because the enemy had managed to surround him. And just one second I was late to come to that place, maybe my current master was no longer in the world. If that happens, I'll never forgive myself, baby. Please understand,”
