Red Stain

Gratified

The darkness of the night was lit only by the blazing flames that burned the whole place, the atmosphere became rowdy as the fire spread to the apartment around even the sound of a warning of the fire had reached the ears of all apartment residents.

"Their shit hasn't been caught yet and now this fire is troublesome." The burning building blocked the view of the Son, he felt that the two men were ordered not to take care of two women only.

Everything is too complicated, no matter what happens he is determined to get one or both of them in drag to jail or to hell. Because the Son considers all his suffering is the fault of others so he is reluctant to admit because his selfish nature has been ingrained.

"Julia where are you, baby ?." Call it sweetly, if the son knows that Julia is actually hiding behind a curtain that began to burn, of course, now the son has dragged her.

Julia closed her mouth so as not to make a sound because the fire spread and hit the sleeves she was wearing little by little to make her hurt and overheated.

" Okay." The feeling of heat over time can not be held until spontaneously let out a sound and was caught by the son.

"It turns out you were there." The merciless Son dragged Julia But her hand was bitten until she complained of pain and it was the right time to escape going from there through all sorts of obstacles from burning wood to all around which had begun to fall apart in voraciously by the very burning fire.

Julia could not get out of there because the door was closed by the fire and the only way to save herself was from the outside window that went straight down, unfortunately there are no stairs under the balcony but some firefighters have set up protectors to help from below.

"Miss jump from there quickly." Shouted some of the people who were below waiting for Julia to rush up the jump before the fire started to spread and devour her.

Julia's fear of heights makes her doubt, her head feels dizzy when looking down where this is very high, while no Son is in the way and Julia ventured before she was stopped by the Son.

"I can, it's not very high just very high, it's okay I can." His eyes closed and jumped without direction until he felt he was under and helped by people around.

"It's okay you're safe."

The voice seemed to Julia recognized and it was true that Darren hugged her tightly as if he was almost lost if it was too late for a while. With a mess Julia cried happily finally he could survive and the next second a fire so big burning through the window to surprise the people who were there.

"Thalia and the Son are still there, are they safe ?." Julia sees Darren and turns to the silent fire department, only Julia has managed to get out of there until now.

"We're still trying." That's all Julia heard.

He was then taken to a safer place to calm down while treating his hand injured by the fire, not expecting that some other parts of his body were also injured but Julia still felt unsettled even though he had been treated with potluck medicine.

The apartment is extinguished and Julia is taken to the hospital to find out if there are serious injuries but Julia asks back who survived, he was taken to another room where there were several bodies covered with cloth until Julia pulled the cloth away.

"Huh." Instantly he closed his mouth to see the corpse of the Son who could not be saved with a body full of injuries by fire even some of the skin of the palm peeled off, he said, and the good looks that men often display are now gone.

"Do you know this corpse ?."

"This is my husband, goodbye Son." The cloth was closed again, then Julia saw another victim and there was Thalia who was still alive but unfortunately her breathing deteriorated as well as her body condition which was almost completely burned.

"Ju-lia ma.af I'm sorry, to.long keep Vita."

The last words Thalia spoke before meeting her death, Julia nodded to agree to remember before Thalia died helping her to escape from the Son. Julia will try to forget all the painful tragedies she has experienced because everything is done. All the wicked have their recompense in return for their deeds.

So does Julia whose temple burned to leave a mark and lower her beauty. Julia was grateful to God for giving her a second chance to become a better person.

Day by day passed, and, Julia returned to live in the house that was previously occupied with Putra but now she was alone with Vita who she had considered like her own child even though still Julia felt a little distance with her the child was without blood ties.

Darren several times came to ask the news and the arrival of the man often made Julia feel uncomfortable because now after the widow, this could lead to bad speech among the community.

"Darren can you come here sometimes, don't misunderstand me and Vita is happy you can play here but I'm afraid the neighbors will think things are not good between you and me. You'll also have trouble getting a partner if you keep coming here."

"Don't tell me to stay away from Julia again, from then until now my feelings for you have remained the same."

They looked at each other but soon Julia turned her back on feeling she did not deserve the perfect Darren while she now had many shortcomings. Julia looked at the fish pond and looked at her reflection in the water, her face was not as beautiful as it used to be.

"Find a beautiful and kind girl Darren, because I can't."

"Why do you always reject me, if you don't love me you say enough but don't tell me to look better than you because I just want you Julia."

Darren pulls out a small black box, opens it and proposes to Julia. " Look in your own heart, whether you really love me or not."

Julia cries in confusion, everything Darren does is more than enough to make her feel happy and Julia will regret her decision if she rejects Darren again but Julia is full of flaws. To this day she chose to be selfish and self-centered, so Julia nodded and accepted Darren's proposal.

"Yes Darren, I'll marry you."

Darren put the ring on Julia's finger, it seems that the wait is finally over and she won't wait any more.

The marriage was carried out faster than he expected, when both parents agreed, the simple marriage was done. Enough with the arrival of both parents of each bride and some relatives are also friends, simple but solemn.

Julia is back in a household she believes will be happier than ever.

"Darren I love you."

"I'm my wife too."
