The Marriage In Lost Memories

Thirty Six

I booked a hotel not far from the airport. But I feel more followed. Although my hunch is her, there is a sense of calm, but if not I become afraid.

I immediately took the room key and immediately headed to the room number there.

I feel more unsettled.

But the anxiety disappeared after I entered the room.

Just a few seconds of strange feeling back in.

How there is no sound of water in the bathroom.

Maybe I got the wrong room.

I tried to check again the number in front with the number on the card. There's nothing different. Why is there living water. Maybe the hotel staff forgot to close the faucet.

It's probable...

I'll check her out.

The sound of water inside is becoming clearer. Not just flowing but also like playing.

Anxiety turned into horror, do not wait for this hotel has welcomed me.

Am I gonna see a European ghost?

My hand is slow, there is a sense of doubt. I was afraid that the creature would suddenly appear at the door.

Then the sound of water stopped.

I held my breath for a moment.

Alena, this isn't a demon...

I close my eyes tightly. This hand held the handle of the door that felt cold.

On the count of 3

One...

Tig..

My door pushed. My eyes are bristling. A few seconds I lasted I fumbled whether there was a hairy creature. Or is there hair hanging? Or just fabric? Pocong maybe?

But it's an Indonesian ghost, if Europe might be vanpire? Dracula? The handsome european. The ghost must be handsome too.

Geez Alena I'm getting crazy.

Deg , my heart is beating fast.

This hand touched something similar to human flesh but was hard and somewhat wet. My fingers are shaking more and more, is this a ghost or a human. There's a naked European ghost like this?

" Don't bother me demon.. I'm only here for last night... Ak

My body was pulled like cotton, and spontaneously these eyes opened.

I clung to a creature that was really scary from its European demon name.

Of course I know this creature

He was with a bit of wet hair. His eyes were still like black pearls with enlarged beads. Her lips curved perfectly.

" you...

I pushed her. It was not me who was pushed back.

Even he was there with only a towel wrapped around his waist. So he took a shower?

I just booked a room but why is she inside? He knew I would stay here. But why is he here...

Even though it is not a familiar hunch and my guess is correct still I still feel not grounded in the place.

He's Devan in this country! Since when?

I just want to laugh. Why does he always know where I am.

" Why are you here?" Ask me about the situation there.

Devan just passed me by. Am I the ghost in this place.

Even he casually rubbed his hair with a towel and sat on the bed like an adult male model who was doing a half-naked photo shoot, indeed her body remains sexiest but I hate her current existence.

" Have you satisfied your vacation?" Her words there looked at me with a million gazes, there was mockery contained within her.

I try to control my mind. Okay I'll never be able to get away from her. He could easily find me. If it was because of a scandal it didn't feel this fast or maybe he knew I was here a long time ago. And a shadow from last night appeared.

So then..

I was mending hard. " When did you know I was in this country?" Ask me nervous.

He tilted his face still playing puzzle with me is the same as wasting energy.

" You think? Did I not satisfy you last night..

Glutton..

It felt like my blood was flowing to my face. I'm sure I'm blushing.

There was a bundle of anger and disbelief in my mind.

Last night was not a dream. He fucked me in a ridiculous way, gave me medicine then, I thought it was just a wet dream.

" You touched me.." Screeched me wrathful. I feel so humiliated. Her..

My word runs out to curse and curse her.

I saw him laughing there.

" why? We're still husband and wife even your body really enjoyed last night. How many times have you mentioned my name over and over again.How many times have we *******?

I closed my ears, her dirty words disgusted me. I can't be. He must have deliberately upset me like this.

My eyes widened in disbelief he came down from there and took off his towel.

" Don't peek if you like" she said in horror.

I turned around upset. This man is why he acts so immoral like this. Yes, even though he only wears underwear and now he is wearing long training pants. But still suk wara wiri exposed her bare chest.

I'm going to the door, I need my own room. It could be crazy to be in the room with her but the door was locked.

" Where are the keys!! " Pinta I was reluctant to invite her to talk.

" It's on me! " The answer is relax.

He then headed to the edge of the bed. Sitting is like being at home. This guy put a laptop in his lap.

I know he won't give you the keys.

I silently watched her activities there that were very relaxed danced her beautiful fingers to the laptop.

Does he have a new job ah does he have any money for all his here. Is it bankrupt. Even I saw his remains Devan the same nothing as concern as the news.

I suspect he actually has an illegal job. One of them always knows where I am. And is there any connection to the data theft that happened to J. kemaren. The appearance coincided with the theft of data in company J.

" Have you hacked into Jordan's company?" I said make her finger stop at one key. It looks ordinary. My suspicions deepened. I approached slowly trying to peek at the screen there.

" Do you want the company to sink?" His words gave him a choice.

I was shocked and my guess was right. The perpetrator is Devan. He hacked Jordan's company. If he has that much ability, of course, Jordan's company must have a defense and he can break through it.

" So you? What did you do to her?

My screams are so angry.

" Give back the water he spilled" Devan replied with a very relaxed finger still dancing nari.

" It's impossible!! " I still can't believe Devan did it. If he has hacker skills. He must not be easy to drop when his company is in crisis.

" You must be just scaring me, if that's you! You can't go bankrupt.."

" Really.. Who said I was broke? That little company just changed leaders!!! " The answer is simple. " Jordan asked me to choose the company or the photo I chose. But he cheated! Keep giving you that photo" This time there was a voice of anger from her tone.

Alluding to the problem of the photo, I became irate It was a pending fact and this came back painful. Remembering me that there was a child with another woman and covered up very neat.

"Aah. Yes. . . How's your son doing with that girl? You must also have received my original divorce papers right" I said arrogantly. I want him to know. The problem can never end happily.

" His name is Jeremy! I can introduce her to you. I think Jeremy would love to see his mom.

" No! " My sela, my anger is rising. This person really had no feelings how could he casually say his and Mother? Ck! Who wants to be a mother to his child with another woman.

" You're crazy! I'm not her mother. And don't even want to be her stepmother!! " I don't care what I say is rude, I know it's pretty rude. Even in a child who has no sin with the problems made by his father.

Devan remained silent. He then closed the laptop.

" He has his own mother! " My voice humbled I regretted the word "unwilling" I said just now.

" It would be better for her to be with her biological parents, I beg you to let me go this time" my Pinta with beads pleaded. Even in the novel I wish he saw me like a fawn's eye and he was touched. But I forgot this is Devan. Any kind of face plea he won't be sensitive.

" I've let you go for 6 months. Is that not enough"

My jaw is hard. Free to act in front of him.

" I will never accept your child until any time. So don't force me!" I say enough.

It's up to him not to divorce me. I don't give a shit.

I can live alone after tomorrow. No divorce papers!

My flight's tomorrow morning. And it's been a very night. I ended the debate by hauling a blanket pillow over to the sofa there.

I confused every time I argued with him. I was the one who gave up and slept on the sofa!

My head just feels like it's gonna break.

Before going to bed I read a short message J sent.

" I'll pick you up after everything's clear"

I'll block J's number immediately. This time I will face my own problems.

Even I don't care Devan 1 flight with me or he's sitting next to me. We knew him but I considered him a stranger again.

And after a tiring journey I returned to Jakarta. My birth land.

The city I left behind and a lot of stories here.

The blue sky there made me a little more calm.

*

" Don't argue.. Come home..!"

This time we got into a debate.

I refused to come to her invitation, Rudy! His confidant's picking up. Even the man I once made over was as usual a free audience for my drama and Devan.

I pushed Devan and immediately ran as hard as I could. Getting into a taxi is certainly very easy to find there.

This is the end of all Dev...

Even if I have a feeling of saying no!

1 Hour later I arrived in front of the 2nd floor house in South Jakarta. Where I lived and grew up.

This house is still the same just the paint in the renovation to be brighter.

The first person who saw me was Bik Lilies.

I hugged Bik Lilies. My longing spilled over a lot. Even Bik Lilies was sobbing.

" How's aunt?" I asked her to let her hug me.

" Good Non. Aunt misses you altogether Miss. It's like a dream! How's Miss been doing all this time? Why is it so much more so?

Bik Lilies unravels her embrace. I continued to look at this aged woman's wrinkled line gently.

" Good Bik.. Is Papa in the office?" I asked to look left and right, the house looked lonely.

Bik Lilies' face turned even sadder.

" It's Non. Sired.. Still in the hospital" Bik Lilies said in shock.

" the hospital? Papa why bik???

" You've been sick for 3 months Non, you have a heart problem" replied Bik Lilies to make me limp as if slapping my face, I disappeared for 6 months and never knew Papa's condition and also, the same disease I had before.

" Miss is okay?"

My empty gaze just nodded at the family photo on display in the living room there. 6 months ago I met papa at the party. It's short but I'm very happy. Now it's...

Even though my body feels crushed. I went straight to the hospital. My arrival certainly made Mama Natasya and my half sister's sister surprised. Tertutana Papa's.

There were various looks they looked at me. I don't give a shit. I immediately hit Papa who looks happy to see my face.

I was crying so much. Apologizing as big as her. That weak body I was gnawing with all the emotions embedded in my mind.

" Stop crying Alena! It's not your fault! Papa is fine just undergoing routine care" This man who lowered his nose is rubbing my head many times. I think he was crying too.

" Papa you'll be fine if you don't act" This is the voice of Mama Natasya. This woman sat snidely looking at me. The face that always sees me like a germ. Different when he begged to accept Devan's request to marry first.

Papa raised his hand to ask his wife to be quiet. I don't care about Mama Natasya either. He's in my eyes nothing more than something unimportant.

" I'll take care of Papa from now on "My Cecar looks at the bead of eyes that are not young there with joy

Papa nodded and continued to look at me inside.

I've been here for a week. I just spent my time at the hospital. And today I'm glad Papa can go home. I'm with Arya my youngest half-brother is busy taking care of Papa's return. When compared to Aldo, Arya is not so hostile to me. He has more respect for me, probably because from childhood he used to play with me and we had Papa's blood connecting. Different with Aldo who has more Mama Natasya nature and she is Natasya's child.

" Everything has been paid, mba" said the administration officer of this hospital.

" Have? When and who? " Task me wonder. I still have enough money to pay for Papa's treatment. Although still using the money selling the necklace. At least it can fill my stomach for 2 years.

The Admint officer pointed back. I turned and again found Devan. I guess it's her again.

He still staunchly met me. Even I kicked out so many times this guy kept showing up not knowing himself.

" good. Thank you" I said immediately out of the line.

I approached Devan who was standing expressionlessly there.

" I'll send him back the money" I said then passed and he remained like a chunk of stone. Her shameful veins are gone somewhere. It sticks like glue.

" Is everything ready?" Ask Arya

The young man who was still sitting in 3rd grade of Smu nodded he pushed Papa's wheelchair and I immediately picked up the blanket there.

At the door, Rudy was there. He helped me lift our nightclub while at the Hospital and his master followed Papa.

I am lazy to argue. This time I followed his will first. And sure enough he gave his ride service to take us home.

At the house Mama Natasya was waiting with Bik Lilies.

" You're still with Devan! Isn't he broke?

That question came up when I went into Papa's room.

I didn't bully her.

" ye.. Alena's.. You hear me?" This time Mama Natasya was louder.

I lazily faced her.

" It's none of your business" I said cynically. Mama Natasya looked at me irritatedly. His eyes are tapered like pencils.

" Plaque"

A sweet slap landed on my face. Even he was bright in front of Papa.

A hot feeling spread across my face.

" Mom.. What you're doing" Arya was stuck there.

" He's ti-

" Plaque

I slapped her back.

My breath is hunting. This time Arya glared big at me.

" Sister stop..

" You guys don't fight" Papa's voice there looks sad trying to straighten his body.

" You're so insolent Alena! Dare to be like me now! Don't you think because you married Devan you're arrogant. But now you are just trash. Your husband is bankrupt. Your misadventures affect her" Hina this woman with a high voice. Even I'm sure Devan's out there hearing his loud voice.

" stop. Natasya" Papa's geek is back there. Holding chest. I became my anger manahan. Shouldn't I rip this woman's brazen mouth off.

" Are you back home hoping for your papa's legacy huh..

This time, it turned back towards him. What inheritance? Ck! I even want to use my claws. My papa is alive and he thinks I'm here because I want an inheritance.

" Mama is already! Don't do this! Papa just got home. Don't make papa sick anymore" said Arya to calm her mother. I digest the words of Arya. Don't don't hurt Papa in the aftermath of this snake woman.

Oh I get it. Maybe he wants to kill papa quickly and this may be his plan to fight in front of papa so that papa back hanger. Good cunning plan! Snake woman.

I'm approaching Papa. " I'm sorry pa.. Don't think too much! Papa just rest.." I said reassuringly to Papa that everything is fine.

Papa nodded and then lay back down.

I looked at him with a smile.

Maybe Papa got treated unfairly after he got sick. Mama Natasya may have clearly quarreled with me in front of her.

I came out with a look of hate by this woman. Even he is still cursing.

" We better get out of this house Alena! We've had a hard time eating don't make it harder for your papa anymore"

He followed me to the front. Very persistent effort.

" Till my family's room stops.

' if you have to go, it's Natasha! Your nature makes my Papa worse! Are you intentionally killing him, or are you doing something illegal behind my back?" I said with an accusatory look.

" You mean what? "

I looked around

house "I'll check in the name of this house. In the name of your home! Just look at you going to deal with me" I said spurring the war in his eyes.

Natastya returned to call me like that. Cheap lady. Ungodly children and even the names in the zoo did not escape his mouth. I've been eating that curse a lot since a long time ago, a different aura appeared from behind. The dark aura I had once felt.

I saw Natasya's eyes widen. With more sharp.

" rudy! Quickly find out if the name of this house changed or if there are any possessions from this family that changed illegally its ownership"

" Good Master" said Rudy and obediently got out of there immediately.

I smiled mockingly at Natasha. I did it intentionally. I knew Devan would do it. Consider this compensation because he bears a legitimate husband. 

" ck! What can you do now! Even you guys are actually after the legacy here right"

With arrogance and folded hands Natasha looked mocking there.

" really. Let's see where his legacy goes!" My heart obviously pissed him off. I instill that I am indeed eyeing Papa's legacy so that he is just annoyed. That means he'll be on standby with my whereabouts. I stuck out my tongue making this woman want to go berserk if not held Arya behind her.

I'll go up to my room immediately. The crap still gnaws at me.

If I may want to strangle the woman to death and my gerrymandering increases as Devan follows me there, I almost clamp her to the door.

I can't really be free for a day without him.

I looked at her with the gaze "You're you again"

" I've helped you! Is this your reply?

" I didn't ask for it! " I answered back to push the door.

" You purposely said it in front of me. That's your hunch! Want me to help you or not get rid of your stepmother? As info he did a fake certificate name transfer for this house"

Devan's successful words made me open the door.

" Don't bother me! I want to sleep" I said immediately to my bed, which was enough for me. Hope he gets out of here soon.

" I won't bother you but take you home..." Say it! And again it makes me even more tired. I'm tired of fighting with her.

He said he'd take me home! Not in Batam but in Jakarta. Not my mom's house either. Whatever it is, I obviously refuse.

" I said ti-

I haven't had time to talk my body's been carried like a baby and then in his pelvis with ease

" Br*ngsek release...  Come down to me.   Devan..

My screams hit him on the back, grabbed his hair and clawed his neck. I don't like being forced like this.

Is he crazy to kidnap me in my own house.

" Don't yell! Do you want your Papa to worry" Snapped Devan even hit my ass hard. Like taming a child.

" you...

He did it intentionally. He knows I'm in control of Papa's condition and of course my weakness right now is Papa.

Devan took me down the stairs, and I couldn't help but stop making a fuss.

Under the stairs was Aldo, he was astonished by Devan's actions which were indeed his common sense had been doubted.

" Get Care Papa! I'll choke you if Papa's why" Threatened me to my stepbrother who was only 3 years apart, I saw he was just dumb there watching us leave.
