Kinara's car, driven by Zidan, was seen entering the courtyard of the house that was the home of Marcel and Kinara during this stay.
A view from the garage next to the house that was wide open, attracted Kinara's attention. The car she recognized as the husband's car, parked well there.
Although it was not unusual for Kinara to find the sight, she still felt a little astonished. Because all this time, Marcel always reported if he wanted to go home from his business trip.
"Loh, you said my father is abroad right now. But why is the car in the garage of the house, instead of every father going on a business trip the car will be taken and used by the father's personal driver?" asked Zidan, who was also aware of it.
"Either Zidan, I don't know why his car is in the garage right now. Until yesterday the car was still at the driver's house, and not here"
"Don't you, I've come home from abroad and now I'm home?" guess Zidan's origin.
"It seems unlikely that father has come home, because usually if you want to go home from a business trip, he will definitely give me the news first"
"In that case, it might just be the driver's father who took his car and parked it in the garage of the house. You better get in there, make sure of it"
"But I'm a little scared of Zidan. Because if what you say is a second possibility, then I should be vigilant, right? Morning like this, the driver came over without any news, and entered the house immediately" Kinara replied in a fit of concern.
"It's true, too, you said. For what drivers who are not family members, enter the runah boss without permission. He might have some evil intentions towards you"
"Geez, please don't say such strange things dong! I was getting scared to go in the house. Ka_in that case, what should I do now?"
"Have, you need not be afraid of it excessively. I'll be here, so I'll accompany you into the house and check the situation there. Okay?" answer Zidan lightly.
"What's right, Zidan? If indeed you would accompany me in, I would definitely feel very grateful to you"
"Yes right. Think of this as my continued return for your kindness last night. But can you come out first, and wait for me at the door? I want to park the car in the garage before I get in"
"Ah, okay"
According to Zidan's request, Kinara rushed down to let Zidan park his car in the garage of the house, right next to Marcel's car.
While Zidan parked the car, Kinara walked to the front door first and intended to go inside. But just about to turn the doorknob, his phone suddenly just shook.
After being removed from the bag, Kinara saw that it was Marcel who was contacting her at this time.
"Hello baby, what's wrong?"
"Where are you?! Why not just go home, last night also said our maid you did not go home and somehow overnight where. What are you doing as long as I don't have Kinara, don't fuck around!" marcel replied rudely, replying to the loving greeting from the wife.
"Geez baby, I slept at home last night and didn't go anywhere. Even now that I am also in our yard, surely the maid has been wrongly guessed. If you still don't believe it, I can send you a picture"
"really? Are you really in our house, and more precisely in the yard? Can't I just see it in person and not through the photo that will be sent by you?"
"See directly? What does that mean, you're abroad now, how can you see firsthand, baby? There-there's just you" said Kinara, interspersed with a small laugh.
"Why can't I just change the position where I am. What was once abroad, became in our home. Isn't that easier to see?"
"I really don't understand what you're saying, baby. Try to explain it simply so I can understand it"
"You just can't understand, honey? It means that I am in our house right now" Marcel replied in an icy tone.
Suddenly the words of the husband who had been denied, Kinara's body immediately became stiff and unable to move even just a little.
Because it means, Marcel has clearly known that he is now lying about all the things he has said just now.
Kinara's body became increasingly sweaty and was surrounded with a very cold aura, as the figure of Marcel walked out from inside the house.
With a cold gaze filled with flames of anger, Mercel was seen beginning to scrutinize the look of Kinara from head to toe of the woman.
"Sa_sayang, ka_you're already home. A_have you just arrived from your business trip? You must be cape once, don't you, let me make a glass of bitter coffee your favorite well?" tawar Kinara tried to temper Marcel's anger.
"So this is what you do if I'm not at home, and busy working? Do you have any intention to humiliate me with your prostitute-like look?"
"Pelac*ur? Are you crazy, how can you say I look like a prostitute*r? I'm your wife, can't you say a better word?" kinara protested furiously.
"Is there something wrong with what I just said? Not that it is true that now your appearance looks like a prostitute*ur, if you do not believe it, just look directly in front of the mirror. You despicable wife!"
"Marcels! Until when will you continue to label me as a despicable wife, only my fault in the past? Can't you forget about it, after all I've repeatedly apologized!"
"Apardon me? Do you think that the mistake you made will be lost with just an apology? Crazy girl, you've been teasing my real son!" marcel replied, becoming more and more angry.
"I knew at the time that I had made a fatal mistake. But after that I also continued to behave in accordance with your wishes and no longer met with Zidan even if only for a second. Don't you think that your anger is too excessive?!"
Plaque!
After hearing the answer coming out of Kinara's mouth, instead of replying, Marcel slapped a slap over one of his wife's smooth cheeks.
Kinara, whose body was in a state of weakness because last night was not enough sleep, when receiving an unexpected hard slap from her husband, immediately fell on the ground.
Fortunately, the incident was seen by Zidan who was walking towards the door of the house. Soon Zidan came up to Kinara and helped her stand up again.
"Zi_Zidan's search? What are you doing at my dad's house this early, and where did you come in from? Why don't you see your car coming into this yard?" marcel asked in surprise.
"Dad doesn't need to know about all that, because there are more important things we should talk about. Since when did you start acting so harshly towards Kinara?"
"What do you mean Zidan, you just slapped Kinara once, how can you ask since when you were being rude. What's wrong with me doing that if Kinara makes such a shameful mistake?"
"No need to pretend to be stupid. When I saw my father's rude attitude towards Kinara just now, I realized that this was not the first time. Did Kinara go to the hospital in a wheelchair, it was Dad? Besides, the bruise that my mom and I saw when we had dinner together, it must have been dad, right?"
"Ha, ha, ha. What the hell are you talking about now Zidan, I can't understand it at all. I really never did any violence against Kinara, other than the one just now" Marcel replied, with a small stupor.
"really? But that's just dad, and not Kinara either. What if I also listen to Kinara's answer to make it clearer, you agree, right?"
"Ja_Kinara's answer? Te_of course I don't mind at all, you can ask him too. Kinara tried to tell Zidan that her guess just now was completely wrong" pinta Mercel, who began to show an anxious expression.
"Why keep quiet Kinara, let's just tell me what really happened to you. You don't have to be afraid of me at all, because I'm here to protect you"
Hearing Zidan's request that looked so confident and hopeful that what the man had been guessing just now was the truth, made Kinara have a little courage to speak truthfully.
But seeing the figure who was also standing in front of him with a gaze as if ready to do another punishment to him, the intention in Kinara became lost instantly.
"Sorry Zidan. But what you said just now, it's all completely wrong. Marcel never once committed an act of violence against me in our domestic relationships"
"Well! Are you really sure of your answer just now Kinara, do you not want to be separated from it? If a man who never played a hand started doing that, then he wouldn't have stopped easily Kinara. You better think back to your answer" Zidan pinta as if he did not want to give up.
"I'm sorry Zidan, but my relationship has been fine all along with your father. I also thought that your father was too emotional to know that I dared to lie to him, and then coupled with the achievement of having just returned from a business trip, made him unconsciously slap me. Isn't that right?"
"Yes, right, baby. You seem to understand very well how I feel. I did it spontaneously earlier, and now I feel very sorry"
"It's okay. The one who should apologize and feel more guilty is me, because I was the one who had caused you trouble first. I'm sorry"
"I've forgiven you, baby. Most importantly, you must promise not to repeat the same mistake again the next day. Okay?" pinta Marcel, while wrapping one hand of hers on Kinara's shoulders.
"Okay, I promise"
"Well, Zidan, do you still not want to believe that your father never committed domestic violence against Kinara?"
"Well if you say it like that Kinara. But one thing you must remember, if someday jamu change his mind and want to tell the truth to me, then do not hesitate to contact. Then I'll say good luck now"
After saying that, Zidan began to walk away from the courtyard of his father's house without even looking at him.
*****
"Lake in!"
"No. Please don't lock me up in that room again Marcel, I feel so scared being there alone. I am ready to accept any punishment in exchange" asked Kinara sobbing.
"Another punishment, do you think I'm going to take another beating on your body after knowing someone else is suspicious? And what I suspect is my own son!"
"And you can hit me in a body that will not be seen by others, I guarantee there will be no more people who are suspicious of you. But please, don't put me in Marcel's room"
"If indeed you are so afraid of the room, then you should also not dare to do something that will make you punished later!" marcel replied upset.
"I didn't do it on Marcel's own, I was dressed like this last night for one of my model friends' birthday parties at the bar"
"Oh, so one of your model friends, is also an acquaintance of Zidan? Is that why you two were able to appear together this morning?"
"No. Zidan did not participate in my friend's birthday celebration because he did not know each other. But it just so happened that the bar we went to was also attended by Zidan and his two friends. If you don't believe it, you can ask it directly to Adam and Raka" explains Kinara hopefully if Marcel wants to believe it.
"Well, really suaty coincidence yeah! Do you think I would just believe like a fool? No Kinara, I already know very well what your cunning nature is!"
"I didn't lie to Marcel. You can also ask my friends, they will definitely say the same thing I said just now" Kinara continued to try to convince Marcel.
For a moment the man whose age was quite far away with his wife, seemed silent and began to think carefully about what Kinara had said.
But even though things like Kinara said might happen, but the question Marcel now asks is, why can the child and his second wife both go home at the same time?.
Did they sleep somewhere together last night? Marcel, whose brain was suddenly filled with dirty guesses, began to become increasingly uncontrollable.
Plaque!
Once again Marcel kebalo slapped a slap on Kinara's cheek. But the difference, the slap did not just stop there, because Marcel began to once again hit the other cheek belonging to Kinara.
Picking up the woman's long hair, and began banging Kinara's head repeatedly on the wooden wall that looked very sturdy, until Kinara's head let out fresh blood.
"Crazy woman! How dare you intend to lie to me, you must have successfully seduced my son Zidan and have made him stay the night with you right? Do you think that your filthy actions will not be known to me?!"
"A_i really didn't do it Marcel, everything has its reasons. I could have sworn that I never did as you accuse me" Kinara replied in a soft, barely audible voice.
"Shut up! What other absurd reason would you take out of your dirty mouth? Look Kinara, I used to love you a lot and like you a lot, but I'm not one to be blinded by love. After knowing that you still have feelings for Zidan, then you are the one who has to bear the consequences!"
"Why did you not believe my words? How many more times have I told you that I didn't do all of that on Marcel's own, and what you've been accusing of in the first place, it's all completely untrue!"
"really? Well then, can you explain why Zidan was in the bar, and my son didn't like being there and drinking alcohol?" challenge Marcel coldly.
"Of course I can explain why Zidan got there, it's all because of Asyifa!"
"Ashypha? What do you mean that Ashifa is the secretary of Zidan, and at the same time the woman that my son loves? What did Ashifa do, so Zidan could act like that?"
"You must have known too, right, that Asyifa and Zidan were officially engaged a while ago?"
"Infranquired? Zidan and Asyifa? What other nonsense are you saying to cover up your mistake Kinara, do you think Zidan wouldn't tell me if he wanted to get engaged to a woman?" ask Marcel in disbelief.
"In fact, you were not told by your son, no matter what reason he had. But for sure, what I said just now is real news"
Seeing Kinara's expression that looked serious and invisible there was a lie at all in the woman's eyes, inevitably Marcel began to believe.
But if Zidan memag is already officially engaged to Asyifa who is the woman he loves, why is the man in the bar and dare to drive Kinara home?
It was not that it was a very unkind act for Zidan to take. Because even though Kinara has now become her stepmother, but the status of an ex-boyfriend will remain attached to Kinara who was once Zidan's girlfriend.
"If your words are true of Zidan and Asyifa, who are officially engaged, why would my son be in a bar and drink to spend the night with you? Isn't that happy news, and Zidan shouldn't have done all that, right?" marcel asked, asking the question that filled his brain.
"That's because they had also officially separated shortly after officially getting engaged. And again, the engagement relationship was ended by Ashifa herself. Zidan, who was sad and stressed, drowned himself in alcoholic beverages to forget the figure of Asyifa. Did you get here to understand my explanation?!"
"ultimately? That fast? But why, what was the lack of Zidan until Ashifa ended their relationship? Even Zidan was willing to accept her who was a widow with open arms. Instead of feeling lucky, she was wasting my son's kindness, you selfless woman!"
"Why are you angry at Asyifa for ending her relationship with Zidan? Asyifa certainly has its own reasons for doing so" said Kinara, for some reason even defending the figure of Asyifa.
"Don't talk to you much, you guys are the same. Equally ungrateful to have been given love by such a perfect man as me and my son! You better get in there before I kill you because you're so upset!"
After saying that, Marcel began to push back Kinara's body into the empty room as punishment for Kinara, just like his plan from the start.
Although Kinara rebelled with all his might, but Marcel, who had more strength than her, did not intend to give her the chance to escape.
Until the door was tightly closed and locked by Marcel, then only the sound of sobbing cry Kinara from inside the room.
Seriate...
