At 10 pm Hendrik returned to his room with a body full of wounds and his clothes torn here and there.
The man went straight into the bathroom and flushed his body with warm water while enduring the pain of small and large tears all over his body.
This was already his custom, when his father saw him as too weak his father would have his guards tortured him in the hope that he would learn to protect himself from being oppressed.
But the more his father did, Hendrik let him go and made himself look weak in front of everyone, including his father's subordinates.
This he did to avenge his mother who had died because of his father.
Let the man continue to be upset and angry!
After taking a bath, Hendrik came out of the bathroom and found a middle-aged woman who cared for him was a little girl sitting there smiling at him.
"Come here Den, let me treat Aden's wounds." Lina.
"No need to Bi, I want to rest." Said Hendrik immediately put on his clothes and threw himself on the bed and wrapped his body with a blanket.
Lina stood looking at the young man who was seen curled up under the blanket then walked out of the room with a sad feeling enveloping her heart.
'I'm sorry Madam, I can't replace Madam to take care of Aden.' Lina said in her heart.
Lina was about to head down the stairs to return to her bedroom when she saw Hans coming out of her room bare-chested.
"How's that?!" Hans asked Lina.
"Sorry sir, Aden doesn't want to be treated, Aden doesn't want dinner either." Lina's reply made Hans again sigh and rudely then the man walked into Hendrik's room.
Brake..!!!
The door to Hendrik's room slammed hard and then Hans immediately entered and pulled off the blanket that covered Hendrik.
"How dare you act so weak!" Hans yelled at his son without being cheered on by Hendrik.
"Wake up!" Hans shouted back when he felt very angry, but like before Hendrik would never speak to him.
"Say something or you'll get a whip?!" Hans cried out now with his veins that had appeared on the surface of his neck due to his angry feelings towards his son.
But as he expected, his son did not budge the man just fell asleep while hugging his knees like a helpless man.
It made Hans very angry and the man came out of the room to get a whip.
Plaque plaque...
The whip sound from the room echoed along the corridor of the room making Lina who was standing at the end of the corridor now tremble in place.
Lina waited long enough for Hans to get out of there while carrying a whip full of blood.
"Obati him." Hans's orders.
Lina immediately went into Hendrik's room and found the man lying on the bed hugging his knee.
The white bed sheet that originally wrapped the bed neatly is now disheveled and filled with blood spots and holes here and there.
"Geez Aden," Lina approached Hendrik.
Finally, that night was passed by the tears of a woman who tried to act in place of the mother of a man who had lost his mother since childhood.
That night Lina spent until dawn to treat one wound that filled Hendri's entire body.
In the morning Lina got up and quickly prepared some fresh porridge for Hendrik when she was surprised to see Hendrik had put on his college clothes and went down the stairs to leave the house.
"Aden, where's Aden going?" I asked Lina in a panic.
"To campus Bi, I'll go first." Said Hendrik with a pale face as it passed leaving Aunt Lina who tried to prevent Hendrik but was unsuccessful.
He had to go to college to be made fun of.
