The hour hand did not even show the figure of 10.00 nights, but the streets began to be empty. Either because it's raining, or because there's another reason. Arsen didn't take a headache. He continued driving and stepped on the gas pedal more forcefully. His gaze was sharp towards the front, without even once glancing at Nadhea, until the woman repeatedly frowned.

"What's wrong with Mas Arsen? Since the conversation in the room earlier, his attitude had become strange, "inner Nadhea.

A few minutes later, Nadhea was confused again. Arsen turned his car around and entered the courtyard of the Star Light Hotel. Nadhea looked at her husband intently, but the man gave no response at all.

"Mas!" call Nadhea after the car stops in the parking lot.

Arsen did not answer. However, he immediately looked at his wife with an elusive look in his eyes.

"Why come here?" ask Nadhea. "I thought I was going straight home."

"There's work I have to do." Arsen answered while removing his seatbelt.

"Work?" Nadhea stared in surprise, still not understanding the meaning of Arsen's words.

"Yes." Yeah." Arsen nodded. "Come on, help me get it done" he continued.

After Arsen opened the door and stepped down, Nadhea did the same. Then, he approached Arsen who was standing in front of the car.

Without further ado, Arsen clasped Nadhea's hand and led her to walk into the hotel.

"Isn't this grip too tight? What's wrong with her?" nadhea's inner self while glancing at Arsen. He grimaced a little because Arsen's grip hurt his fingers.

Shortly after, the receptionist greeted them and gave them the keys to the room. Nadhea took a deep breath, apparently Arsen had already booked a room in advance. On the way to the room on the ninth floor, Nadhea often looked at Arsen's face. Besides not sharing a smile, the man also always shone a sharp look.

"When I got married, I was just talking about the guy I liked. Is Mas Arsen jealous? But, is it possible? Compared to Liora, what do I mean. Like the word, my advantage is not half Liora. So, it was impossible that Mas Arsen was jealous of me," Nadhea said in her heart.

Shortly after, they arrived at the door. Arsen quickly opened it. Along with that, Arsen's grip on Nadhea's hand strengthened, making the owner grimace while hissing softly.

"Mas, what's wrong with you?" Nadhea dared to ask.

Arsen turned towards Nadhea while squinting, then carved a slanted smile. Still not saying a word, Arsen immediately pulled Nadhea's hand and brought her to the edge of the bed. By then, the door was closed and locked.

"Mas___"

"Forget Kaivan! Never dream of chasing him!" concluded Arsen with high intonation.

Nadhea's heart was beating fast. He could catch flashes of anger in Arsen's gaze. However, Nadhea still can't guess for sure what happened, jealous or just annoyed because Kaivan is related to Luna.

"I can't go after him either. She, she's Luna's future husband, Mas," Nadhea said moments later.

"Serve me tonight!" said Arsen who then made Nadhea gaping and widened.

"W-what do you mean, Mom?"

"But, Mas, this ... Then what about Liora, what about my future?" Nadhea stood up and stood right in front of Arsen.

"Never mention Liora's name!" Arsen is getting closer. "Your future is me. So, don't ever think of another man, other than me!" continued.

Nadhea did not reply, but looked at Arsen's eyes with anxious expectation. There was no glimmer of love there, so why did Arsen want it?

"Liora was married and pregnant with the man. I don't want to lose to him. Dhea, you must serve me and conceive my son. I want Liora to regret for betraying me!"

Arsenic's speech was more painful than the thunder that was rumbling out there. How not, now Nadhea realized that she was just being used as an escape. The sanctity, which he thought was precious, must be removed for the sake of an impingement. Could he be able to do it? I don't know.

"Dhea___"

"So, Mas Arsen just made me a runaway? Wreaking anger over Liora's betrayal?" cut Nadhea.

"What are you expecting? Feelings?" Arsen clucked slowly. "Who are you, Nadhea, expecting love from me?" continued.

"I realize who I am, very far away from Liora. That's why, for the past five years I didn't expect love from you. But, tonight you ask me to serve you, even give birth to your child. It is the opposite of our agreement. So, is it wrong if I question feelings? I am indeed a woman who does not have any advantages, even my family alone cannot accept my presence. But, I also have a price from, Mas. I don't want you to make an escape and an impingement. Sorry, i___"

Nadhea's speech stopped as Arsen's hand landed hard on her cheek, leaving a reddish scar that was hot and sore. Nadhea's staggered body, now rested on the edge of the bed. Tears that had been pooled, now spilled and flowing soaking the face.

Arsen bowed and looked at Nadhea with emotion. Liora's shadow had blinded her heart, until she lost her sense of compassion towards Nadhea.

"Forget self-esteem! A woman like you doesn't deserve to talk about it!" Arsen gripped Nadhea's arm firmly. "I have done a lot in your life. As long as I'm with you, people respect you, and no one dares to corner you. As long as you are with me, you can enjoy luxurious facilities and never lack treasures. You owe me a lot, so don't ever turn me down!" still with a snapshot.

"But, Mas" whispered Nadhea.

"You're willing or not, I don't care. You must serve me and give birth to my son! Understand!" shouted Arsen.

Nadhea Queenaya is a woman who has never been happy since childhood. That night he had the darkest thing of his life. He gave up his chastity forcibly taken by the man who became husband, but never loved. An act based on anger and mere n*fsu, leaving great pain in Nadhea, heartache and physical pain.

The wrath caused by the lover's betrayal, makes Arsen lose a bit of his mind. He treated Nadhea unnaturally. He did not care even though his wife was crying, moaning, and begging for mercy. In fact, Arsen still did not stop his brutal actions despite the blood flowing in Nadhea's body, although he knew that it was not just virginity blood.

After Arsen drooped and fell asleep, Nadhea slowly got up and inched away. Her tears unceasingly flowed behind the messy tangled hair on the face. Why is his fate so bitter?

Arsen was the only man who appreciated him. Although the reason for marrying is not sincere, but the man never offended or demeaned his condition. If there were no Liora's name, her heart would have been open from the beginning of the marriage.

But Nadhea was self-conscious. Arsen is too high to be loved, especially with Liora, Nadhea has absolutely no courage to nurture her feelings. Therefore, he opened his heart when he met Kaivan.

Now, Arsen suddenly dashed his dreams and hopes, even humbling in the most despicable way. In the middle of a vast world and among hundreds of millions of people, it felt like Nadhea was living alone. No soul really cares.

"O Allah, for the first time I consider Your destiny unjust" said Nadhea in the pain of tormenting her body.

As the night passed welcoming the morning, a sense of despair approached Nadhea's mind, until it was implied in the mind to end her life.

Seriate...
