Alina was too lazy to get up, pulled her blanket and fell asleep again. Last night he slept very late, how could he have the energy to wake up early.
Suddenly the alarm from his phone rang. Lazily Alina reached out her hand to grab her phone that was near her sleeping pillow.
His half-sleepy eyes glanced at the phone screen, and his eyes were wide open and his sleepiness vanished. It was a reminder of her schedule to get ready for city Z.
His leave is over and he should be back soon. Couldn't he ask for another day? How much of his salary will be cut later. In addition, he desperately needed money to pay for his grandmother's care in the future.
Rising from the bed, Alina hurriedly got out of bed only to feel pain in one of her legs. Raising his glass-tipped leg last night, he saw that the wound was still wet.
"Sw.." Alina grimaced and sat back on the edge of the bed.
Tok.dok...
Heard the knock on his room door. Alina grabbed her veil that was on the mattress and put it on. He limped to walk to open the door.
"Hello! With Alina's mother?"
Frowning her pair of eyebrows, Alina stared at a woman dressed in formal medical attire. Her hair was well-groomed and she wore thick glasses. In his hand was a black bag that looked slightly heavy.
"Yes, who are you?"
The woman smiled neatly showing her row of white teeth.
"I'm Callie, the doctor Mr. Zayyad brought in to treat you, Alina's mother"
Treating? Alina stared for a few seconds at Callie's doctor and glanced down. Maybe what is meant by treating his leg wounds because of shards of shard? But where does Zayyad know?
Knitting a pair of his eyebrows, Alina thought that it was too much. Minor injuries like this do not need to call a doctor to treat. He can do it himself.
"Mother Alina?"
"Ah, yes!"
Alina stopped contemplating herself. And invite Doctor Callie in. In his heart he was satisfied that Zayyad had not invited a male doctor to treat his wounds.
Sitting on the couch in her room. Alina raised her injured leg with an embarrassed expression on her face.
"It's actually just a small wound, I think he's overreacting!"
Alina canengar-cengar in place. What would Callie's doctor think of her if a wound like this alone required a doctor to treat her.
Doctor Callie who saw Alina who looked timidly knew what she was thinking was just a polite smile. Taking his foot he began removing cotton and antiseptics to clean the wound.
"That's because he cares about you. Alina's mother is very lucky to have such a caring husband"
Alina smiled nervously. Any luck? So far she is married to Zayyad her life has changed a lot. Living in a large villa as a hostess, stepping outside as the wife of a publicly known CEO and so far she has never been ill-treated.
Instead he can use the gynophobic Zayyad as revenge for his hatred of men. Alina realized all of her is not so bad, it is precisely she who gained a lot of benefits.
"It's done!"
Alina saw that her feet were wrapped neatly in gauze.
"Other times if you get hurt, treat it immediately. If left on for too long can cause infection"
Alina nodded. He should have treated the wound earlier, just because he was too lazy. He went to bed and left his wounds open.
"Thank you Doc Callie for your treatment"
The woman tidied up her stuff while shaking her head and smiling.
"You thank your husband, if he doesn't call me to come, how can I here take care of your wounds"
Alina just smiled nodding to the formality. In what heart he would do that.
•••
Zayyad had just finished his meeting and returned to his room to rest. It's lunchtime but he's too lazy to eat.
Bringing his wheeled chair to the edge of the big glass. Zayyad sat there watching the scene below. And then he heard a knock at the door.
Tok.dok..
"Come in"
"Sir and this is the data I've summarized about little Alina's mother until now"
And Bakri handed the remaining files in his hands to his master. Zayyad took the file and waved his hand telling him to leave.
"Snack lunch soon, if you're not satisfied with the company's cafeteria do you want to order something?"
"Go!"
If the master has said so, it means he is rejected and there is no room to negotiate.
"Good sir!"
Bakri had just turned around to leave only to be stopped by his master.
"Just a second!"
Has the master changed his mind?
"I want you to send some of the latest Muslim clothes, bags and shoes to my villa"
Bakri who heard his master's order, of course, knew where all the items would be given. It seemed like her indifferent mistress had actually managed to obtain a standing in her master's heart.
And he would never have thought, this master of his would spoil his wife very much.
"Your father really spoils your wife very much"
Bakri couldn't bear to not say the contents of his mind. Zayyad who heard her only smiled subtly and nodded. His brown eyes looked bright and vibrant.
"Well because of her on my side, I can still be here as your boss. If not, I don't know who you're working for now"
Bakri was pleased and nodded. Working for who? He may have been kicked out of the company. If not, he will still back off.
However, he is very happy to work for a boss like Zayyad. Maybe people know her cold and estranged. Proud and unfriendly.
But for those who have worked for many years with him, very know that behind all that his master is a warm and gentle figure from the inside.
After the departure of Bakri. Zayyad flipped through the pages, reading the entire summary Bakri had made for him. And the result surprised him greatly.
It is said that Alina grew up with a drug-addicted father and loved to play gambling. He often played with random women and even molested little girls without their parents' knowledge.
Finally her mother demanded divorce because she could not stand all the acts and acts of violence that her husband did against her and little Alina.
When Alina was a teenager, her young and beautiful mother remarried a wealthy widower. Shortly thereafter, the widow remarried. At first Alina's mother was able to survive with polygamy.
One day she was trapped by someone in a hotel room and raped. Her husband was angry and did not accept directly suing for divorce.
And because of severe depression, just when Alina was seventeen, her mother was rushed to a mental hospital.
Since then he has lived with his grandparents. It's just that Alina's peace of life didn't last long.
The grandfather, who is the stepfather of his mother, was a man who often played women in youth. And it turned out that the old man was lustful towards Alina.
With the courage and decisiveness of Alina, the old man who tried hard to rape her to be determined to kill her grandmother, successfully put in prison.
After all those bad events, Alina did not choose to be a weak girl who had a traumatic towards men.
But she chose to be a cold-blooded girl against all men. Hating all kinds of it, no matter it was a child, an adult or even a parent.
She becomes a misandris* who almost becomes a spinster if she rejects the arranged marriage her grandmother arranged for her.
And now she works as an English teacher at a girls' boarding school in the city of Z.
Zayyad was envious of Alina.
Why isn't he strong enough to cope with all his traumatizing women until the stage becomes misogynistic*?
