The Married With The Devil

Early Meet

Jimmy let out a deep sigh after just sending Alan a short message. He asked the man for permission not to enter for a few days. Just then, when she was about to pick up Bianca and drive her to school, Jane suddenly cried out hysterically. And when Jimmy approached her, the woman accidentally clawed her left cheek.

“Jane!” Call Jimmy while holding both of his brother's shoulders. The woman stared at Jimmy sharply. Complete with hateful expressions.

Quickly, Jimmy takes some of Jane's medicine and forces the woman to take it. Jimmy thought that during this week, she was getting better because Jane never yelled again suddenly or went on a rampage for no reason. But apparently, Jane is still very far from the word healed. Jimmy had no other choice. He should stay by the woman's side. Accompany her and make sure Jane doesn't hurt herself.

Bianca was waiting for Jimmy to arrive. Usually, the man always came quickly even before he started breakfast. But today, Jimmy never showed me his nose. Bianca was worried, afraid that something might happen to the man while on the street.

“Bianca.” Call Alan. He just finished getting ready.

“Jimmy is still not coming.” Bianca said as she looked at Alan who was preparing to enjoy his breakfast.

“Jimmy asks permission not to log in for a few days. So I'll drop you off and pick you up.” Answer Alan. He looked at Bianca.

When he was just about to go to the bathroom, Alan looked at his phone that was vibrating slowly and saw a new message coming from Jimmy. He quickly opened it. Jimmy wouldn't have sent him a message if it wasn't for something important. And he knows that very well.

Sir, I can't come in for a few days.

Alan was still faithfully staring at the screen of his phone when he had just read a message from Jimmy. Alan knows if Jimmy's reason for asking permission was because he had to accompany Jane. He was sure that the woman must have been going on a rampage suddenly.

“What is he sick?” Bianca asked as she looked at Alan. All this time, never once did Jimmy ditch to pick her up.

“No. Jimmy must accompany his ailing brother.” Alan replied which made Bianca nod in understanding. He's not entirely lying. Jane is sick. But it was different from the pain Bianca thought.

“Do you prefer Jimmy to drive you?” Alan asked as he looked at Bianca suspiciously. From the beginning, he felt strange seeing the familiarity of the two of them. Because, Alan knows very well if Jimmy is a man who is not easily interested in the opposite sex.

“I can be late.” Bianca cried while looking at Alan lazily. Since the beginning of meeting Jimmy, he never had an interest that “special” on the man. Jimmy is handsome but not to make Bianca bend the knee.

Alan smiled knot. After finishing his breakfast, he immediately got up from his seat to approach Bianca who was standing not far from him. He peeked his lips at a glance then clasped the woman's hand to step together towards the car.

By ten o'clock in the night, Jane could only fall asleep. The woman refused to eat and preferred to fill her stomach with a small piece of apple.

Jimmy who had been near Jane while clasping his hands tightly, stared fixedly at the woman's sleeping face. Her breathing is normal and Jimmy is grateful, because today, Jane is not as rampaging as she once was. Sometimes, the woman would hurt herself. And Jimmy can't take it. He'd rather Jane hurt him. Jimmy was willing as much as anything Jane hit, slapped, scratched and even bit him. Because of the pain he received, it was not comparable to the pain that the woman felt. Jimmy even hoped that he lost his memory to forget all the bad memories he had.

Slowly, Jimmy took off his grip on Jane and got up after peeking at the woman's forehead. He wants to visit his bar. In fact, the main reason for going to the bar was to meet Fiona. Tonight, he'll try to talk to the woman.

***

Fiona, who had just exited the back door of the kitchen where she was working to dispose of the trash, gasped in shock when she saw Jimmy leaning against the wall staring at her flat. Quickly, he put down the plastic he was carrying and turned around to get back inside the bar.

“Fiona.” Call Jimmy in a soft voice. Fiona stopped. Hearing the man say his name, made his body feel something strange. Since the first time they met, he had warned himself to stay away from the man.

“I'm busy.” Fiona ketus. It doesn't matter if Jimmy is a regular customer where he works. To him, all the men he met were the same.

Jimmy, hearing Fiona's words, immediately moved from where he stood to approach the woman. His eyes stared fixedly at Fiona's unraveling hair. I wanted Jimmy to gently stroke her mane but he couldn't. Jimmy didn't want to make a bad impression in the woman's eyes. Before they both even started.

“I'll be waiting for you.” Whisper Jimmy. Fiona, who heard the man's voice up close, closed her eyes with clenched hands. No. gabe. He must not allow himself to fall into the blue-eyed man's entanglement.

“Didn't I tell you not to bother me?!” Fiona said as she turned around suddenly. Almost made the noses of both of them touch.

Jimmy's stunned. Looking at Fiona from a close distance made her able to stare at every inch of the woman's face clearly. And when he meets Fiona's hazel eyes, Jimmy can't look away. He admitted, if you have met many beautiful women out there who also have beautiful eyes. But for him, the woman's hazel eyes remained her favorite. Fiona has eyes that are light brown and golden green.

“I didn't mean to bother you.” Kill Jimmy. His face remained flat.

“Then what? Do you feel great just for helping me once?” Fiona said an annoyed voice while looking at Jimmy sharply. He didn't mean to be rude to the man. Fiona is forced to do so to keep Jimmy away from her. It is much better if the man is looking for another woman.

Not many vehicles that pass by because the position of the store is located a little far from the main road. After convincing herself, Fiona decided to step up. His house can be reached on foot for twenty minutes.

“Hai.” Fiona who had just passed through one small park gasped in shock when two large drunk men blocked her path.

Fiona's body trembled in fear. The thing he feared had finally happened. But just as he was about to run, one of the men who had a tattoo on his left arm, clutched his hand. To hold him to go.

“Let go of me!” Fiona's hiss while staring intently at the two men who were actually reciprocated with amused laughter. Fiona rebelled again, but her strength was not comparable.

“I just want to invite you to have fun.” Said one of the men while licking his lips. Which makes Fiona look at him disgusted.

With all the energy she had, Fiona pulled out her hand. And succeed! Quickly, he ran away. But just as he stepped, the man again intercepted him by pulling the tip of his hair to make him fall on the asphalt with a sitting position.

On the other hand, Jimmy who had just returned home from a task given by Alan, stared intently at the circumstances around him. He decided to go the other way so he could get to his house quickly. The road he used to walk on was closed because of an accident.

“Argh!” Jimmy immediately stepped on the brakes of his car when he heard the sound of someone screaming. He deliberately opened the window of his car.

“No! No!” Shouted Fiona pleading. The two men forced her to go to the park. He knew very well what would happen to him if he obeyed the men's request.

Through the light from his car's lights, Jimmy squinted his eyes as he stared ahead. Faintly, he saw a woman who was being pulled by two men.

“Let go of him!” Shouted Jimmy after getting out of his car. With casual steps, he approached the three of them with a flat face.

“What? You want to have fun too? Haha.” Said the man holding Fiona's hand. He laughed loudly as he looked at Jimmy with a lustful face.

Jimmy's hands were clenched. Quickly, he walked up to the man and then hit him in the face.

“Job!” Jimmy's fizz is sharp. His blue eyes flashed with anger. After making one of the two men fall helplessly on the asphalt, Jimmy turns to stare at the man with a tattoo on his arm.

Without warning, Jimmy threw a punch at his left jaw. Followed by a powerful blow to the other side. Jimmy is completely out of control. He was endlessly torturing the body of the man who had fallen unconscious.

“Stop!” Pekik Fiona while holding Jimmy's hand. His hazel eyes looked at the man in fear, causing Jimmy to flinch in shock.

Quickly, Jimmy distanced his body from the two men. He immediately pulled Fiona's hand to step into his car. Then force the woman in. Even without waiting for the approval of the woman. After Jimmy drives forward, Fiona stares back in fear at the bodies of the two men. Fiona only hoped that after this, no big problems would befall her.

“I will keep waiting for you.” Firm Jimmy.

“As far as you are.” Fiona exclaimed as she walked into the bar. He was grateful that the man had helped him even to take him home. Though he thought if the man would ask for something in return but apparently not.

***

“Now you can go home.” Fiona looked at Jimmy. The man insisted on waiting and driving her home. Fiona had no other choice. He did not want to make a scene and attract the attention of many people.

Jimmy nodded slowly. Slowly, he turned around to step over to his car which was still located near the bar. Since meeting Fiona for the first time, Jimmy has no idea why he's so curious to know all about her. Not infrequently, Jimmy came to visit the store where the woman worked. When she found out she had stopped working, she drove her car to Fiona's house. Just when she gets there, Fiona is also getting ready to move house. Quietly, Jimmy follows the woman until he finally finds out about his new place of work and his new home.

“Hah.” Fiona let out a rough sigh after Jimmy's body disappeared from her sight. Unenvious, he opened the door of his house. And the first thing that greeted him was the sound of his mother coughing. Yep. They only live together. In a shabby apartment.

“Mom.” Call Fiona as she steps towards her mother's room— which is also her room. Their home has only one bedroom and a bathroom. Kitchen and living room which also doubles as a family room.

“You're home?” Ask Fiona's mother in a weak voice. The cough hasn't stopped since. Quickly, Fiona takes the medicine and a glass of water for her mother.

“You can drink it without having to wait for me to come home.” Fiona softly said. He looked at his mother's face, which was getting older. All this time, he had to work hard to support himself and his mother. His father, the man he thought was a responsible family head, preferred to go with another woman with all her jewelry and her mother's savings. Before the illness, Christine— his mother, was an employee at a freight forwarding company with more than enough salary to support the three of them.

Fiona once took her mother to a small hospital and doctors said her mother had only a mild cough that could be cured with medication. Fiona believes it because she knows nothing. So, once a month, he had to buy his mother a small bottle of medicine at a hefty price. But until now, his mother's cough has not subsided.

“That jerk guy!” Fiona muttered with an angry face. He even hoped, if his father had died rotting somewhere.

He had no time to think about anything else. His life was already difficult, so he did not want to add to it anymore. At least, right now, money is a top priority. To treat his mother's illness.
