Episode 195: Annotations from Anneline

Anneline wiped her slightly watery eyes before she could see her tears falling. He does not like this sadness continues to float in his heart and make a bunch of tears that can make him weak. He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

“I was forced to marry Fernando. It all happened exactly one week after the time I left town and you. Dad gave me to Fernando's family. During my time there, I was taught to adapt in an orderly environment. I was groomed by being a life partner to the man heir to all the family assets. I've tried to escape, but there's always no way.”

Inspiration realized that now Anneline often wiped tears that had not been spilled. She was convinced that this woman was hiding her wounds and she was ashamed to cry in a place like this.

“Ann, finish your food. After that, you can continue the story.”

Anneline nodded. “I'm done.”

Ilham's prediction was correct, Annneline would not run out two bowls of ice cream sundae.

The roaring ringing of the cell phone blew away the concentration of Farah who was reading the novel. He closed his book and switched to a cell phone that kept calling him asking to be touched immediately. The screen of her phone displayed the name of Kinanti who was calling her. Without a second thought, Farah answered the call.

“Assalamu’alaikum warahmatullah wabarakatuh, yes Kinan?”

“Wa’alaikumussalam warahmatullah wabarakatuh. Sorry, am I bothering you? I'm afraid I'll call night-night instead of disturbing.”

“Not bother, what is it, Kinan?”

“Gini Farah, I want to take you for a walk. Wherever you want, because I've rented a car, but to this day sister Anneline never left. As a result, the car is just parked in front of my house.”

“Sister Anneline rarely out of the house huh?”

“If you say rarely, less precise. Once out must be just shopping for his own needs. That's all he often doesn't want to be guarded.”

“Like that. Where are you going to take me?”

“Like your heart Farah, just in your free time. Don't forget, tell Mr. Ilham if I invite you. Okay!”

Farah smiled, she was grateful to be surrounded by good people.

***

Ilham drove his car in the city's green park located not far from the elite residence of the rich. He thought, this is a suitable place for Anneline to explain everything when she disappeared six years ago, rather locked up in Zen City for six years.

Ilham and Anneline finally chose to sit on the park chair. Of course, the inspiration that keeps his distance, even he must wear a mask so that not many people know.

Anneline took her breath. He was calmer than he was in the store. Maybe he could cry here. “I tell my story.”

Ilham nodded. This moment he was waiting for, Anneline explained.

“I married Fernando in an old castle. The wedding was held closed, only certain guests can enter. If asked if I am happy, the answer is no. Six years I was with that disabled man there was never a feeling of love between us.”

Anneline unbuttoned her shirt. The conscious inspiration finally turned its face away. Seen on the chest of the bag there is a long incision scar.

“First in my body, exactly here.” Anneline showed me the scar. “My mother-in-law paired a small chip to detect where I was going. I didn't realize it at first, and tried to escape the house by tricking the guards. Shortly after, they caught me. My mother-in-law was furious, but Fernando never knew it. Until in the end I realized when he always brought a tablet, it turned out that thing to detect my presence.”

Anneline paused her story. He sobbed and buttoned his shirt again.

Inspiration. He could feel how heavy the burden Anneline had been carrying. He felt the same sadness. He took a handkerchief from his pants pocket and gave it to the woman next to him.

Anneline received a handkerchief of Inspiration. It removes tears and removes snot which is actually a tear that seeps and comes out through the nose. Tears of sadness.

“I was found right after the device sent a signal to Fernando. Everyone was shocked and took me straight to the hospital. The doctors came and operated on me. I lost a lot of blood. I regained consciousness within three days of the operation. My body was limp, only Fernando was sitting looking at me. Kuderngar of some maids who took care of me, he said, Fernando is very devastated by this incident. He asked that he no longer need to install a detection device, because I am also part of him. But, I think it's all for nothing. From then on, I asked for a room for myself. Fernando agreed to it and let me live.” Anneline laughed bitterly. He was crying and felt something light. Like a load being moved.

“Long story. Did Theo and your parents never see you, Ann? Why haven't they been told you?” Ilham began to suspect, why the Horation family could allow this. He knew that Anneline was their favorite daughter. Why is the fate of the year like this.

“They don't care. Dad, I mean Mr. Horation sold me to Fernando's family. Miris, right? In this world, there are still parents who sell their children for sheer pleasure.” Anneline smiled. The smile he made to cover his wounds.

“Then where are they currently?”

They deserve to die Inspiration! I have killed them, because they do not deserve to live in this cruel world.

Anneline threw away a face. “I don't know. Maybe, they're happy somewhere, so never see me.”

“Then, how is your mother-in-law?” tanya Ilham.

Anneline looked at Ilham. “She's dead.”

“Sorry, I didn't mean to make you sad.” Inspiration felt bad, as it reminded Anneline with grief over the death of the person closest to her

Anneline just laughed crisply. “It's okay.”

I killed him too! He's just like my parents and Theo. Worth dying!

“How was your relationship with your husband?”

Anneline stared fixedly at the twinkle of Ilham's eyes. “Do you still want to know?”

Ilham fell silent and then looked down. “Sorry, it's too sensitive.”

Anneline shakes. “It's okay, I'll tell you. For six years, Fernando and I lived as two other people under one roof, without loving each other. I'm sure it's just like you and Farah. Relationships that are mutually enforced will definitely clash and sometimes hurt.”

Inspiration sighed, he confirmed what Anneline said. He recalled how he treated Farah when he first entered his life. Inspiration had also thought of a way to divorce his wife, but still there was no gap. The woman always obeyed what she commanded.

“What's Fernando like in your eyes?”
