The Shackles of the Past

Selena and Josh: KDRT

Happy Reading

In a small house, the walls with white paint are dull, and the teak door looks old. Inside the simple house there were only two bedrooms, one bathroom, and one kitchen in the back.

The contents of the house have also seen old items, no valuable possessions except the rusty rice cooker on the outside here and there and the gas stove one furnace.

The sound of broken objects filled the small house, the screams of two people of different gender rang out loud to the outside of the house. The neighbors seemed to be indifferent to the quarrel in the house, as it was common for them to hear the swearing and swearing of the occupants.

"Where's my money!" Shouted a middle-aged woman who ruffled her waist in front of a man her age.

"It's over." Answer the man indifferently.

"What. Breng! That's the money to pay the rent, you give it back today! Men are useless." His meaning was not exhausted with the shabby-looking man in front of him.

"You are breng*sek! If it wasn't for marrying a leech woman like you, I wouldn't be poor!" His screams did not receive.

The middle-aged woman laughed discordantly, "I'm the unlucky one to marry a bo*doh guy like you!" His words were screaming.

A loud slap was heard, the man's hand that was her husband's status slapped so hard that it made his left cheek feel numb, hot, and his ears slightly buzzed.

"Shut up! I'm the bodo*h for believing cheap women*an like you! you're the lady-bearer of si*al." He answered, exclaiming and pointing to the face of the woman who was his wife.

The middle-aged man walked away from his wife alone, the woman who was still bursting with anger walked quickly to clutch the shabby jeans that the husband was wearing.

"Where are you going! I'm not done talking yet" said the wife.

Roughly the husband clasped his hand and turned to clutch the jaw of the woman who had made her life miserable, "Where am I, it's none of your business. You better work to pay off your debt to me." Say the husband with lace but full of emphasis.

The middle-aged woman spat on the face of the man in front of her, as she was unable to speak to answer the husband's words. The husband's grip grew louder and made him in pain, violently pushing the skin-clad thin body on the floor.

Scooping the face affected by the spit from the woman with the rate, "Breng*sek!" he quickly walked to another corner to pick up something he would use to punish his wife as usual.

The middle-aged woman who saw the piece of wood on her husband's right hand, quickly shifted her body backwards quickly. The face of the woman who had been hardened and brave, was now deathly pale and shriveled.

"From you!"

"sick." Lirih.

A slanted smile appeared on the middle-aged man's face, "Heh? Sick, I'll tell you the real pain."

The bathroom door was tightly closed, the sound of grass objects was heard inside the bathroom. Screams and screams echoed in the cold damp room. Not long after the bathroom door opened, the middle-aged man walked out regardless of the weak middle-aged man inside.

With the hunting breath and tears that had been shed since earlier could be seen on the middle-aged woman, the corners of her lips were bloody and bruised all over her body adorning her old age.

"Hiks .. forgive Mama Selena." Luna.

Luna was Selena's mother when her husband died. Luna goes on the run alone leaving Selena with her mistress who is now her husband Hardi. The two had an affair behind Luna's husband, hoarding the property of the husband's corruption secretly and run away with Hardi.

Luna, who loved Hardi so much, handed over all her possessions to the man, was initially fine. Until, Hardi knows the world of gambling. All his property including Hardi's property has been exhausted on the laundry table so they have to get out of the luxury they have enjoyed.

Renting a small house with a rental price every month of one million rupiah, working odd jobs in order to live his life every day. The money that is always collected to pay for the rent is always not intact and sometimes runs out at the gambling table.

Luna worked as a merchant, a laundry worker, and other jobs that earned money immediately. While Hardi's work every day is always drunk and gambling, not infrequently the man went home battered because the money that Hardi brought was exhausted and lost at the gambling table but still forced to come, regardless of how much debt Hardi had, he said, Luna doesn't want to know.

During the marriage of Luna and Hardi there were no offspring, not the two were barren only it was already a mutual decision. Luna did not want to be bothered by a child as well as Hardi who still wanted to hoard the coffers of wealth.

For Luna, her son is quite Selena. The girl who had just grown up she just ran away with the burden left by the late husband, not giving her a penny of money to Selena at that time because in Luna's mind, she had no idea, Selena will survive by marrying a descendant of the Vijaya family.

With great difficulty Luna tried to stand up from her seat, feeling the pain she felt all over her body. Walking limped with an occasional grin for enduring the pain, dragging his steps towards the room that had been the place to complain. There were no relatives or neighbors for him to lean on.

"Shhhh..." Ringis Luna while removing her wet clothes because she had been in the guyur several times Opeh Hardi.

Looking at his face and body that were full of new wounds and scars that he always got when he told Hardi to return or ask for money to the man, a tear fell on his old eyes. She remembers Selena, her only daughter seems to remember that Luna was not entitled because she consciously and vilely left her but to meet her Luna also did not have the courage, let Selena hate or forget him for a lifetime.

Luna laid her body on the hard cotton mattress slowly, enduring the pain as if to plunge all over her body. Closing his old and my dear eyes was slow, for the cost money let him think about later the most important thing he should be able to work again.

Josh's bodyguard disguised as an ojek trader only stayed under a shady tree not far from Luna and Hardi's house, seeing Hardi come out with an angry and indifferent face made Josh immediately contact Josh to report everything.

Getting instructions not to get close, making Josh undo his intentions. He will continue to monitor and wait for instructions from Josh and Selena.
