The Untouched Heart

Chapter 31 - Bound Forever

Without a second thought, I signed it immediately. Too many grains in each chapter that makes me dizzy. Our lawyers are very thorough and pay attention to all the details. I believe that he has done his part well.

For now, I just need reassurance that Mama will soon have surgery for her heart and that Zach is free from his problems with those bad guys. I don't care anymore if I have to pay with my heart or give Hendra as many children as he wants. Anyway, maybe now I'm going through the process of becoming a mother.

“You don't want to read the other details? We still have plenty of time. This agreement can still be discussed. Oscar will fix the part that needs to be changed,” said Hendra who did not open the map in front of him.

“No need. I just want all this done,” I said quickly.

Nothing could be discussed from the letter. I knew that the bit of the letter was that I had to obey my husband unconditionally. As a consequence of the transgression, my husband will give me a reward.

I don't want to know nor do I care about the kind of punishment I have to live with. There was nothing more torturous than staying married to her. My husband would never divorce me. That type of consequence will not be in the letter of agreement. So, what else is discussed?

From the corner of my eye, I saw Hendra looking at me for a moment. He looked towards Mr. Oscar then sighed softly. I didn't look at my husband when he put his autograph. I just want this thing that has destroyed my pride to be over soon.

“Good. This is for Mom, this is for Dad and this one is for me to keep,”, said Mr. Oscar as he gave each of the files to us. After entering his file, the man stood up. “Because my task is done, I'm sorry. See you soon.”

Hendra stood up and escorted the man out of his room. I just sat where I was back. The map in front of me I didn't touch at all. I don't want to keep it, but I can't destroy it either.

“Sorry, I have to do this. Not because I don't trust you. I just want a guarantee where you won't lie to me again. Or planning something behind me without my knowledge.” Hendra sat down by my side again.

“You want to have children? We'll have it. Don't worry.” I didn't look in his direction. I really want to get out of this place.

“You know what I want most, Za,” he said slowly.

“Hatiku. I know,” I said what it is. I felt my husband's finger on my chin. I closed my eyes as the man pointed my face at him.

“See me, Za,” said Hendra in a serious tone. I didn't open my eyes. “See me,” the door again. Reluctantly, I opened my eyes to hear him raise the intonation of his voice.

“You promised to love me at the altar. I shouldn't have to beg for my rights. Especially to use the power of the law to force you. Not only your body, your heart is mine. Just like my body and my heart are yours.

“If you want to continue using the rough way, I will follow your game. But know one thing. I will be the winner. So, please select.” Hendra pulled his hand back from my face. He stood up and approached his desk.

“Sherry, I'll be out. I switched all the calls for you,” he said via the intercom.

Knowing that it was a signal for us to leave this room, I stood up. I didn't resist when Hendra grabbed my hand. We walked out of the workspace to the elevator. Kafin was waiting at the main entrance with Hendra's car. My husband opened the car door for me, I went in first, then he sat by my side.

After fifteen long minutes, we arrived at our destination. If I had liked eating at the restaurant before, this time I wanted to get out of there. I just wanted to be in my room and mourn my fate. I don't want to eat, drink, or do anything.

“I hope you don't mind eating meat this lunch.” Hendra got out first and then helped me out of the car. I received his hand.

“I don't mind,” I replied after I stood nearby. He looked at me for a moment, but I did not return his gaze.

The waiter greeted us kindly and led us to an empty table. I saw a reserved sign on the table. There should be a table for us. At lunch and dinner, the restaurant is always crowded with visitors. It is difficult to get a seat without ordering first.

The menu book in front of me opened immediately. After a while looking at the available food menu, I ordered a set of meat complete with smooth potatoes and vegetable salads, as well as lemon juice. After taking down their orders, the waiter left.

“I hope you don't get angry prolonged to Liando. He's a good man and he's just following my orders. Not at all meant to make you difficult.” He touched my hand on the table.

“Iya.” She seemed to be unknowingly twirling the wedding and engagement rings that were on my ring finger with her fingers.

“Will he be my personal driver for so on?” I don't like it.

“No. Just for today.” She smiles. I frowned hearing it.

“After I sign the letter, you sure I won't run away from you?” my daughter raised both my eyebrows.

“Yakinu. Because if you dare to refute or run away from me, your family will accept the consequences,” he replied casually. I looked at him in disbelief.

“A, what?” many surprised. She smiles.

“I told you to read the agreement carefully. In the last chapter there are ten points of consequence if you try to violate every article in the agreement. There is only one item that is directly related to you. Nine more items will be charged to your family.”

“You won't have the heart,” I said slowly.

“You can try it. I don't mind showing you how serious I am with my words. I never let mine try to get away from me without knowing the consequences of her actions.” His tone and eyes turned cold.

“Papa, Mama, and Zach have nothing to do with the problems between us,” I said bravely. I don't like to see that expression.

“But just by involving them, I can influence your decision.” Hendra moved his body. “You will not be affected by the threat of being locked up inside the house, not being fed or drinking, let alone divorce. Only your family can thrill your heart.”

“You are evil, Hendra,” I said with a vibrating voice.

“You don't know what I'm capable of, Za. It's just a small part of my real self. My other side that won't make you feel at home is staying with me and making you reluctant to leave me. I do not want this but you who have dared to challenge me. How dare you take that medicine without my knowledge,” he said flatly.

We did not speak again once our food and drinks were delivered. I forced myself to finish the food in front of me. Keeping his words earlier, Hendra did not take out his phone to answer the phone or reply to incoming messages.

After eating, he just sat looking at me who was trying hard to finish my food. As soon as I put the spoon and fork on the plate, he pulled out his phone, contacted someone, and said only one sentence.

A waiter came as soon as Hendra pressed the button in front of him. He paid our bills using his cards. Not long after that the waiter returned with the card and a small piece of paper that needed his signature. He helped me out of the chair and took me to the exit. An Audi car was waiting for us.

“I'll be home by six. We had dinner as usual at seven. Then we'll do it again. I hope you're home when I get home, welcome me to the door like always.” Hendra opened the car door for me. “If you try to refute me, dear, you know the consequences.”

“I'll wait at home,” I said obediently.

“Good.” He kissed my cheek.

I got into the car and Hendra closed the door by my side. He waved his hand as the car moved away from him. I smiled a little. I looked towards the side of my seat. Our map is there. I sighed softly and took the map and placed it on my lap. After taking a deep breath, I opened the map cover.

I slowly read through the details of the consequences I would receive if I broke the agreement. Even something as trivial as denying my husband is considered an offense. I have to obey and obey him unconditionally.

Hendra not only asked me to give him my child and my heart, he also asked me to give my life and soul to him. There can't be another man in our marriage, I can't even mention divorce anymore.
