Selfish Husband

THE SEQUEL PART 5

Zeyn woke up and felt his arm hurt, a second later his eyes widened. “Cannot be! I must still be dreaming.”

Zeyn turned his head to the right and there he saw the beautiful face sleeping soundly beside him, barely making a sound.

His feathers bristled and Zeyn froze because he still could not believe what was happening. Zeyn may have dreamed of his wife so many times that it was difficult for him to distinguish something real and no longer.

Zeyn didn't dream in a dream, did he?

All dreams always end in solitude. However, this time the dream is different because the shadow of his wife still lives with him.

He could feel all parts of his body stiff, he slowly turned to the side, faced the sleeping person, and placed his hand on the side of his cheek. Zeyn was flabbergasted and claustrophobic feeling the warmth of the delicate skin on his fingertips.

“She's real!”

Zeyn wanted to kiss her, wanted to hug her tightly. At the same time Zeyn also wanted to cry because he was happy and promised not to release Vania's body from her grip.

However, the memory of last night's events when Zeyn thought everything was just a dream, decided to take it off because he believed it was just an illusion and Zeyn did it.

Zeyn took pains to swallow his saliva which felt dry in his throat. He wanted to slap himself to wake up from his daydream.

The reason Vania left Zeyn in the first place and she again did it when her wife came back.

“Gosh! Why am I so stupid??”

After promising himself to convince Vania, tell her everything and slowly make his wife believe. But on the contrary, it seemed that Zeyn took advantage of the fact that grief could weaken him.

“Ohh... Third chance!!”

The wife's last words as she left him were still ringing in Zeyn's ears. Until now these words still circled in his head.

‘So you're Zeyn.’

...***...

The sobbing sound disturbed Vania's sense of hearing which slowly opened her eyes. ‘Zeyn crying?’ he murmured in the heart.

Vania looked at him but her face was blocked by a hand.

Even after leaving her for a month, after her heart was crushed, Vania could not help but feel devastated to see her husband sad. One reaction Vania can't hide.

Vania thinks she can escape the pressure of suffering to be everyone's puppet, freeing herself from a Zeyn's spell, but once again her father proves what Vania did wrong.

...Flashbacks*...

Thinking her father didn't care about what Vania did was a mistake, after finding a wealthy patient for his hospital and everything they have especially the money and connections from the Daulyn family company is enough and Vania can live independently.

Divorced and did what he wanted to do but Vania's assumption was deviated because freedom was not included in his father's dictionary. There is no such thing and it applies to Vania.

Vania's willing to bet if one of the orphanage staff calls her father, because Vania's presence bothers them every day to find a piece of information. Thoughts about the relationship between his father and the parlour party did not break up. The proof is he came and took Vania forcibly.

The father seemed to smile with satisfaction when he found Vania, instead Vania was scared to death because there must be something waiting for her. If her father was angry, Vania could easily guess the inevitable torture. But seeing her father sneer, Vania did not know how to prepare anymore and it was scary, imagining it had stiffened all the cells in her body.

Shortly after, his father gave him important information that might make him feel a little relieved.

‘Your parents are dead,’ he said in a flat tone, a landslide victory over Vania again.

He is very happy to be able to rob Vania of her last hope of a normal life.

Vania was not sad or ill. Not physically. But tears began to slide free as he was buried alive in a dark, suffocating coffin.

Vania can also confirm if her father does not know about the filing of divorce papers that he has signed and handed them to Zeyn.

“Now, what else do you expect me to do?” vania asked her father when they were on the plane to return.

“Go home.”

“I can't go back to her.”

“Can! and it's a must. Whether you like it or not. I don't care.”

“I've filed divorce papers with her, so there's no reason to go back.”

In that instant Vania already knew the answer. Just looking at his father's face made him shrink and realize that he had just made the biggest mistake of his life.

Angering. After that the situation worsened, as it began to look for the weak point of Vania. Her father snatches her cell phone and searches for Zeyn's last trace of calling Vania.

No phone calls, no messages on Zeyn's behalf. Even what he found was the content of the conversation message between Vania and Yudha. His father also had expertise in mastering several foreign languages so Vania could not avoid or just lie.

Divorce, and now proof of chat. No matter how Vania sees Yudha as a friend, but it seems that Vania has cheated on her husband. In fact, Vania does not realize that other people will have such perceptions.

TERROR

It's likely that Vania will be physically injured. But now, Vania is not her father's only target. He might also threaten Yudha and that's something Vania can't prevent. Because of what Vania knew, Yudha had no one to protect her from threats.

Thinking of how Yudha would face her father's cruelty, it must not happen. Even if Vania tried to convince her father that Yudha was Zeyn's sister, it would be useless. No one knew if at any time his father would send thugs to attack Yudha later.

Vania was petrified to the bones, daily worrying about Yudha and pleading with her father, if he were to be a submissive son for the rest of his life, would not oppose him to free Yudha instead.

Vania can accept the pain of being beaten, but she will not be able to endure the mental pain if Yudha suffers from her stupidity, because she does what she wants.

Yudha was already a hero in Vania's life. Although his feelings imply that his father had never done such a thing before but deep down Vania felt that it would not interfere with Yudha's life and Vania could not take the risk.

Vania was happy to see him, being in his warm and comfortable embrace. Honestly, Vania was also very longing and needed someone to prevent her from leaving. After a year together, Vania is getting weaker.

Every beating that Vania experienced while with her father has become commonplace, but pressure after pressure makes her father complacent because he is able to hurt Vania.

Vania misses the figure of Zeyn beside her, her touch, her embrace. Even if Zeyn was the one toying with him, which hurt his feelings, Vania still needed him. Because of Zeyn, the only person to ever protect Vania, who bravely opposes her father.

Vania wants entertainment after escaping the torturer's entrapment.

Vania lost her identity again.

Vania considers herself a masochist.

However, Zeyn can make Vania feel comfortable, which makes her feel safe because for her father Zeyn is a card that she cannot touch. So Vania is also untouched if she takes refuge under the wing of a Zeynan.

For a whole week through hell that looked like a year, a heartwarming smiling face appeared before Vania after closing her eyes.

“I miss her, I want to be next to her again.”

And there he was, standing before Vania with slightly reddened and puffy eyes. Vania believes that if the job makes her tired, and there is no Vania at home, she has no one else to take care of her, take care of and make food that is worthy of Zeyn consumption.

A little guilt swayed Vania's mind.

However, when Zeyn held him and said the things that made Vania's heart soar so high so happy.

I MISS YOU

DID HE HURT YOU?

I'M SORRY, SORRY I COULDN'T PROTECT YOU.

That's when Vania's body gave up and couldn't help but cry, given every incident at her father's house over the past week, her legs had also grown weaker and weaker.

PLEASE COME BACK TO ME.

Initially Vania does not want to believe, does not want to be fooled again. But Zeyn's embrace was so warm and cozy, her sweet words, her soft voice, her gentle, loving kiss. Vania was unable to resist and really needed it, waiting for such a Zeyn, so how could Vania refuse.

How could Vania refuse him, as Zeyn pleaded in a soft and desperate voice. Vania could feel the sincerity in every sentence that Zeyn spoke, softening Vania's already weak heart.

Vania couldn't even tell Zeyn how sorry she was for being so stupid as to not believe her, unsure of her honesty, not daring to straighten out all the misunderstandings, because Zeyn just kept interrupting her words.

Finally Zeyn makes the sweetest love confession Vania has ever experienced.

"I LOVE YOU."

Vania's heart rate paused for a moment, only to race after.

...Flashback*...

“What's up?” ask Vania slowly.

Zeyn wiped her tears and looked at Vania with eyes full of sadness without saying anything.

“Zeyn... did something happen?” ask Vania again.

Zeyn pulls Vania closer, hiding her face from Vania, as Vania is forced to curl up in Zeyn's neck and after a few seconds she feels something wet in her temple.

“You're having nightmares?”

Vania's question is still not answered Zeyn whose body began to shake.

“It's okay..,” Vania embraces and starts caressing Zeyn's back. “Now I am here.. so... please ..don't be sad again, hmmm?” honestly Vania was still in a cuddling position, leaving not the slightest distance.

After Vania's words, Zeyn began to cry as hiccups that made her breath unstable.

“Do you need a tissue?”

“No,” replies and tightens his embrace. “Do not go,” Zeyn wiped her tears, tried to calm down. “Never go. I feel like if there's no one in my sight, I'm gonna wake up and everything's gonna turn into a dream again. I can't live without you.”

Thousands of butterflies began feasting on Vania's stomach because of a smile that never disappeared from her face. Vania bit her lower lip trying not to get caught. Although Zeyn did not realize it because his chin rested on top of Vania's head.

“Please, don't leave me... I promise I will be better in the future. I will do my duty as a husband. I'd do anything.... So stay by my side.. don't go again.”.

“Hmm. I promise.”
