The Shackles of the Past
Selena and Josh: Not ready to accept reality



Happy Reading


Josh and Selena are now back on their journey, Selena who is very full accidentally fell asleep in the car, sometimes her forehead hit the car glass due to the car that moves according to road conditions. Josh gently brought his wife's head to sleep over her shoulders stroking her cheek gently and refocused on her phone.


"Sir we've arrived." Said the bodyguard.


"Wait until my wife wakes up." Josh is still focused on his phone.


Long enough to wait for Selena to wake up, until a man took a slow down the front windshield, and soon the door that was locked from the inside was opened. The man with the proposal as a snack seller had already sat down who had previously greeted the person in the car.


"How's it?" Ask Josh briefly.


"As usual, sir, there is no change. They were always fighting even the last one I saw was dragged out of the house." Answer spy.


Josh is angry that the woman is his in-law, but seeing how his past in-laws make Josh suppress his love. He is more compassionate with his wife who until now does not know the reason for living by her mother, what if Selena knows the real reason? Whether with a roomy heart Selena forgave the middle-aged woman.


"The house is deserted, did my in-laws go to work?" Josh looked at the spy.


"True, the woman went to work sending milk at dawn and headed straight for a self-service to become an OG. The man was just at home, he didn't work, and often went home drunk or battered." Answer the spy.


"All right, thank you. I'm asking for your help in coming up with evidence of the man's crimes." Josh said seriously.


"Of course, sir, I've collected it and whenever we can raise it to court." The spy answered by handing over a brown map from inside his shabby jacket.


Josh received the brown envelope and opened it, many photographs showing domestic violence, reports from neighbors, and also debts that had accumulated at the gambling establishment. Josh reads and looks at it carefully lest he missteps, this is the only way to save his mother-in-law.


"Take the woman for a visa." Josh commands his spies by inserting files into the map again.


"But, surely the hospital will call the police." Said the spy.


Josh was silent for a moment, right. Doing fissures is not like turning the palm of the hand because it has to deal with the police, can make reports of violence and will get a warrant to do a visa because a visa without a police report cannot be done.


"Give it to me, you'll do the rest." Josh finally decided to intervene on his own, more precisely Selena.


Josh knows how Selena's temperament regarding the people she cares about, will do and justify all means to achieve his goal one example is to damage the Kenan and Alice household.


As soon as the spy, Josh felt his shoulders feeling light. His head turned to the wife was collecting his scattered souls. Selena stretched her body because she felt very sore, staring for a moment around a very foreign to her.


"I have to see my friend for a minute, wait here I'll buy you a drink at that little shop." Josh answered without waiting for a reply from his wife.


Selena just frowned, moving her head left and right because it felt sore. However, his movements came to a halt as he looked at the small piece of paper below. Out of curiosity he picked it up and flipped it because he wanted to know what paper it was.


Selena's heart seemed to stop beating, felt her heart was very painful, her throat felt choked more precisely as if suffocated by the air in the car, his gaze pined toward the photo of the woman he still knew very well.


Both of his eyes were heating up, tears filled his eyes, and dripped just like that. Her lips and hands trembled as she held back her cries, spreading her gaze to find the envelope on the side chair. Quickly he opened it, he grew even more shocked as he found more photos and writings that he did not understand.


"Who's this guy, how come it's with Mama?"


Even Selena covered her own mouth using her right hand, when she saw the violent photos experienced by Luna. Her tears kept dripping down some of the files she had put down.


JFrom a distance Josh walked back with two bottles of drink in his left hand, seeing his bodyguard standing outside the car making Josh immediately run closer towards the car and quickly open the car door, the police said, Selena is focusing on the photos in her hands.


Soon Josh throws two bottles of water in any direction in the car, drops the weight of his body on the car seat, and pulls Selena into his arms. Selena's cry instantly broke, her crying sound choked like a slag as Josh made a cut in Selena's heart the deepest.


Both of Josh's eyes were already heating up, his heart was so congested that his wife was crying. She was only able to tighten her arms and kiss the end of Selena's head full of love.


Selena is still crying loudly in Josh's arms, "Hiks ... Sa sick Josh." He said with great difficulty by beating his own chest.


Josh stops Selena from injuring herself by carrying her back. "Just hit me, baby, don't hurt yourself." Josh said with tears in his eyes.


Seeing Selena pass out makes Josh decide to go back to the apartment and call the doctor at the nearest hospital to come check on his wife. Josh's face was tangled to see his wife have to reopen old wounds, "I promise this is the last time, baby. You have to settle the past with your Mama, whatever your decision I'll appreciate, we'll go far after this." Josh said softly.


Guards immediately gassed the car into the apartment, leaving a relatively slum area in the city. Coinciding with the car that Josh and Selena were driving away, Hardi came out of her house staring at a luxury car that was rarely seen in her neighborhood.


"Is there a neighbor who has a rich brother? Ah no way, surely the rich people were out to distribute free groceries or food." Monologue Hardi.


In the car Josh turned his head back, because he felt stared at by someone and really his premonition. It turns out that Selena's stepfather was looking at her with a firm stand, but the look on her face could not be caught by Josh.


"With my own two hands that will drag you to the old man's prison." Josh said in his heart.


Josh learns from his past that he was always rude to Selena, he began to undergo treatment before coming to Indonesia and was paused because he could not return to his home country. At least, at this time Josh can be more in control of his emotions and se*x who always hurt his beautiful wife. If Selena does not forgive Luna, at least the middle-aged woman's life is not always tormented, which makes Josh determined to imprison Hardi from the beginning to know the KDRT in his in-law household.
