THE MAFIA'S PENANCE

WITHOUT ME KNOWING

At midnight I was stunned when I heard a moan. I who fell asleep in the clothes room by sleeping on a sofa in the middle of the room, had been silent to hear the sound. My feelings started to get scared when I heard that groan once again. But I became suspicious that it was Vernon's voice.

I hesitantly opened the clothes room door and walked into the room. I was stunned when I saw Vernon still asleep with a thrashing and moaning. He was having a bad dream.

I turned on the light before walking up to him because Vernon had not yet woken up. The sweat looks wet his forehead at this time even though in this room it is very cold. I boldly held onto his shoulder and somewhat shook it a little to wake him up.

At once Vernon grabbed my hand and opened his eyes in a jolt. His eyes glanced at me who looked terrified at his condition earlier. For a few seconds he held my arm and we stared. With a slight sigh, the man finally took off his hand that held me and immediately sat down.

"You okay?" Look at me as Vernon rubbed his face with his palm. I held her shoulder again and slightly lowered my head to see her condition that did not answer my question. "Vern, are you okay?"

Vernon snorting glances at me made me pull my hand off his shoulder and walk a little backwards. But nothing was said.

"It looks like you're having a bad dream." My word. "You want a drink?"

Since there was no reply from Vernon, I immediately took the glass of water in the cup next to the bathroom door, and gave it to Vernon, but the man would not accept it.

"Drink, you're dreaming of being chased by ghosts." I said as I put the glass I brought into Vernon's hands.

"Yes, I do dream of being chased by ghosts." Vernon answered with a sharp look at me and then gulped down some water in the glass I gave him. "All because of you and your brother."

I don't understand what he's saying. What did I do until he who dreamed of being chased by ghosts became the fault of me and my brother? Hold still. I'm starting to think of something. What does he mean is that woman? The Wynetta De Angelis?

"What ghost is chasing you that woman? The woman whose picture is in the dress room. The woman you love, Wynetta De Angelis, who today we go to her grave." My speech.

Vernon looked at me sharply. From his gaze I can think that at this moment he is angry because of my words that call the woman he loves.

"I'm sorry." I bit my lips because I knew I was talking wrong.

Vernon got out of bed, I was afraid that he would try to touch me again, but he walked to the door.

"You don't have to sleep in the clothes room anymore." Vernon exclaimed after that out of the room.

Seeing him coming out made me breathe a sigh of relief. I threw myself into bed to feel comfortable. Sleeping on a small sofa inside the clothes room made me very uncomfortable. All this time I always slept comfortably in the bed with the best quality so my body immediately hurt all when I had to sleep curled up on the sofa earlier.

It's still two in the morning. I'll go to bed and wake up later in the day. I don't have to go to college anymore, that's the only positive thing about my marriage. And I plan to take Sesya to go shopping later in the day.

Without waiting for long, I fell asleep for a moment after closing my eyes.

While I was sleeping, I turned my sleeping position in the other direction. Without opening my eyes I hugged something beside me and felt very comfortable hugging it. It wasn't long before I felt something holding my neck and nape.

"Don't bother me!!?" I said that I was unconscious and still closed my eyes, asleep.

Suddenly I started to wake up and immediately I opened my eyes. Vernon's face was right in front of my face and right now I was hugging him. She smiled her smile at me with her left hand holding my nape so as not to avoid it.

"Good morning, baby." Vernon said and immediately pulled my nape, to grab my lips.

I tried to push him but with his strength, Vernon pulled me over his body by kissing my lips.

Vernon simply made a big smile to answer my words and did not relax his hand that held me.

"Take me off." I cried while trying to escape.

"Vern, are you inside?" Suddenly, Alec's voice came from outside the room.

I was very surprised because Alec was already in this house this early. It was only six in the morning.

"Come in, the door's unlocked." Answer Vernon.

I was very surprised Vernon told to enter Alec when he was still ensnaring me barbed on his body. I turned towards the door when it opened but Vernon pulled my head and once again he kissed me.

Alec who opened the door saw us kissing and in a position that anyone would mistake if they saw him. I was on top of Vernon's body and we were kissing. Alec must think we're having fun right now.

"You shouldn't have told me to come in, Vern." Alec said as Vernon took off his kiss and I turned to Alec.

"Surely there's something important right you want to tell me?" Vernon finally let me go.

I quickly climbed down from Vernon's body. The man also directly walked over to Alec who was standing in the doorway.

"My family wants to see you about my and Olivia's marriage."

Hearing Alec's words made me feel like I was struck by lightning. I immediately got off the bed staring at Alec who was also looking at me for a moment. Married to Olivia? Did I not hear wrong?

"Yes, okay. Tonight your family can come to my house. We'll talk about it at dinner." Answer Vernon. "Viv, you're gonna have to go to dinner, too."

After saying so Vernon walked out. I kept staring at Alec who was still standing in the doorway, he was looking at Vernon's departure at the moment.

"Alec, do you want to marry Olivia? Did I not hear wrong? Is that true?" I asked with a very sad feeling at the moment.

Alec walked in and approached me. Without even expecting her to kiss my lips, it made me even more certain that she loved me, just as I loved her. And that proves that yesterday's answer he said was a lie.

"I'm sorry, Viv." Alec looked at me.

I was stunned to look at him. Alec apologized for what? Is it because she just kissed me or because she's getting married to Olivia?

"Alec, what are you apologizing for?" Stare at.

Alec did not reply, he hugged me and held me for a moment. Then I looked at me once again very closely with her right hand holding the left part of my face.

"I lied when I said I didn't remember when I kissed you five years ago." Alec said after that walk away leaving me.

I was just speechless to see Alec's departure with a very raging feeling in my heart. I'm happy to know Alec loves me but I'm also very sad that he's getting married to another woman.

Without me noticing, my tears just flowed out.
