The Terror of the Rapist

Melani is Sick

That morning Melani woke up from sleep in a state of dizziness and tangles masai. I think he refused to get out of bed. Unlike usual, he always woke up early and welcomed a new day with a burning spirit and cheer, but this time was filled with laziness. The hue of his face looked lethargic and pale. No more passion in his heart. There is precisely sadness and bitterness that slashes the mind. Last night's events still imprint in the soul. Even her tears had dried up draining all the pain energy she had in her heart.

Melani does not know anymore, whether she can still live her life after what she experienced last night. This incident has completely dashed all the beautiful hopes in his life. Destroying his future. Melani felt the path before her turn pitch-black. He did not know where else the road was headed. Melani tried to get off the bed, but still felt ill at ************. Melani bit both her lips poignant. Suddenly his eyes saw the pile of clothes he had last night. There was a sense of disgust and disgust instantly clumped within his chest.

He immediately took all the clothes and took them out. With a limped step Melani headed to the backyard. Her mother who was in the kitchen was surprised to see Melani heading to the back while carrying a bundle of cloth. But because he was busy cooking, so he did not have time to follow Melani. Meanwhile Melani has arrived in the backyard. She threw the clothes, skirt, panties, and bra she wore last night into the trash can. A match was lit, then thrown on the pile of clothes and burned. Melani's eyes glanced at the flames that began****** her clothes. With the burning of all the clothes it seemed to want to erase the traces of last night's tragedy. She didn't want anyone to know she was raped last night by a bastard!

After burning her clothes, Melani returned to the house. He went straight into the bathroom and flushed all over his body from the ends of his hair with as much water as possible, as if he wanted to remove all the dirt that was still attached to the skin. Dyed his hair with a bottle of shampoo and rubbed his whole body with liquid soap as much as possible. Every time he flushed his body with a puddle of water it still felt like nothing was clean. Then he rubbed his body with soap and returned to flushing with water. Unaware of almost one tub of water spent. He was only aware of his actions when he heard his sister's voice calling in front of the bathroom door.

“Sketan dong, Ma'am. Shower really long?” exclamation Nina.

Melani stopped her shower. His body felt cold. He immediately grabbed the towel and wrapped it around his body, after which it went out. He rushed back to his room without caring for his sister's astonished look. Melani closed the bedroom door and immediately climbed onto the bed, wrapping her cold body in a thick blanket. His face looked very pale, the skin of his fingers shriveled, and his molars twitched.

“Melani!” Suddenly the sound of her mother calling outside while knocking on the door.

“What's up, Mom?” sahut Melani with a trembling voice.

“By mother enter?”

Melani did not answer. Heart's upset. What if Mom finds out about what happened last night? Inner fretting. Melani was nervous. But the door was opened and the middle-aged woman entered her room. The woman's forehead wrinkled as soon as she saw Melani curled up on the bed with a shivering body. Feeling anxious.

“What's up, Mel? Body shivers. You're sick, huh?” cetus while fingering his daughter's forehead. Melani's body was cold as ice. Ms. Marni's heart is getting worse.

Melani just shut up.

“You'd better go to the doctor, son. Let's deliver!” said Ms. Marni.

“Not necessary, Mom. I'm okay, really. I just entered the usual angina...,” said Melani hastily refused her mother's invitation. Hearing the name of the doctor called Melani's heart so sliced. If he goes to the doctor and is examined, it will be discovered what has happened to him. Aibnya exposed! Oh, naw! Melani does not want anyone else to know about the events that happened to her, not least her family. Melani wants to keep this secret neat. No one should know!

“But, Mel, mom is worried about anything happening to you. Since yesterday you have looked a little strange. You do not want to eat and go to sleep. And now your body shivers with cold. How about you get sick?” ms Marni was very worried.

“Mother don't overdo it so. I'm okay anyway. I was just a mild pain. I just bought fever medicine at the stall,” Melani said trying to convince her mother.

“You better not go to the office first, Mel. You ask permission not to work until your pain is healed?”

Miss Marni looked at Melani carefully. His heart was filled with sadness at the state of his daughter. Her instincts say something has happened to Melani, but she does not dare to reveal. She knows, Melani is a bit secretive about talking about her personal issues. He kept his heart a secret. He also did not want to look weak in the eyes of others.

“Yes, already, later I buy drugs in the shop. I'll order chicken porridge for your breakfast. Let your body back healthy,” said Ms. Marni then moved from the presence of her daughter.

After her mother came out of her room, Melani let out a long sigh. His feeling was somewhat relieved. She was worried and afraid that her mother would keep asking about her. It seems that Mother's inner eyes are beginning to catch the irregularity in her. But Melani herself did not want to tell the events experienced last night to her mother. He did not want to make his mother's heart sad. He did not want to add to his family's burden. Let all this be kept neat and be the secret of his life. He did not want to open it even though his mind felt very sick and tormented. The image of the rape kept haunting him all his life!

Melani then took her phone from inside the bag. First he called Mr. Tejo, telling him he couldn't get into the office today because he was sick. Regarding the files that were assigned to him yesterday, it was finished and stored in his desk drawer. He would later ask Diah to take it and hand it over to Mr. Tejo. Melani then contacted Diah. To his sidekick, Melani asked for help to replace her duties while she was sick. He believes Diah is capable of handling all his duties.

“Just later if there's anything, you WA or just call me!” so said Melani after giving direction to Diah.

“Shortly, Mel. What are you sick with? I think you were healthy yesterday. What happened to you?” Diah asked across the street sounded worried.

“Nothing, Di. I just got the flu. My body is a little uneasy. Maybe because of fatigue alone,” replied Melani kalem.

“Have you checked with a doctor?”

Melani was silent.

“Halo, Mel…? How silent anyway? Have you checked with your doctor yet?” Diah repeated the question.

“Already,” replied Melani shrieked, lying. He did not want Diah to ask too far. The habits of her best friend are chatty like grandmothers.

“Yes, that's it. That's why, really what I said. You work too hard and do not pay attention to the condition of your body. You finally collapsed too. If you are sick, who loses..?”.

“Yes, yes, Grandma…! I understand!”

“That's right, being told to be nice is even mocking. Yes, already, Neng. Hope you heal quickly. I'm lonely when you're not in the office. Have a good rest and enjoy the soft mattress!” babble Diah joking.

Melani just smiled wryly. He then turned off his HP.
