Trapped With The Devil
Section 49



Autumn greet.


The clouds look more gray accompanied by a fairly cold air. Eros and Selena's relationship after the church incident.


They only cross paths in the morning, when Eros is about to go to the office. Or at night when Eros accidentally finds Selena waking up hungry.


The woman's content is getting bigger, but Eros seems to withdraw. Keep their distance and choose to be silent whenever they accidentally cross paths.


Selena often daydreams, thinking about all her fate after this. What's more, Eros looks changed. But the woman did not know, if almost every night, Eros would go to his room and kiss his lips when he was in deep sleep.


Selena thinks this is all over. Eros may have made peace with her heart, but Selena still did not understand, her presence in the house was seen as what it is now.


So that morning, he picked up a piece of paper and a pen. Write a few lines before leaving the house under the pretext of wanting to go to the funeral of his parents.


A ticket to a faraway country was prepared by Sam who was strongly against his decision to leave. Moreover, Selena is pregnant, she is afraid that something bad happened to the woman.


“I just want to live in peace.” Selena commented a faint smile as Sam looked at her after the sound of the airport operator announcing his departure.


The man hugged her tightly. “May you be happy there.”


Selena smiled again but tears could not be contained. It's heavy. But he can't keep living like that.


Selena dragged her suitcase and glanced at Sam once more before disappearing from the man's sight.

“My half of my heart may still hate you, but I'm happy when you start to change. Don't ever look for me again, let you make peace with your heart. I'll forget all our deals. In return I will take good care of this baby. I promise I will always love him and love him.”


Eros stared at a piece of paper with such neat writing— lying on his bed with a ring.


His hand squeezed the sheet of paper. Crushing until formless. But his heart seemed to be broken. A feeling of uneasiness and uneasiness filled the recesses of his heart. Rejecting Selena's decision to indirectly end their marriage.


“How dare you..” Eros. He stared at the no-man's ring. Tight chest. His eyes turned red and a second later he threw the vase of flowers nearby towards the mirror.


PRANGS!


Crushed. Ruptured. His pieces were scattered everywhere.


Then another shard followed. Eros smashed everything in the room, even when his hands were scratched by broken glass, the man did not care.


Breathing gasps. The shadow of the woman continued to cross his head. Selena who looked at him full of hate, Selena who was smiling, Selena who was crying, Selena who was desperate, Selena who—


“FACETED WOMEN S*ALAN!”


PRANGS!


“HOW DARE YOU GO!”


PRANGS!


“BACK YOU S*ALAN!”


Eros' body collapsed beside the bed. He bent his tongue and held his head that felt dizzy. His chest felt more tight and his breathing became stingy.


Geck!


Geck!


Geck!


“Master, are you okay?!”


The sound of the door banging and a waiter who was exclaiming full of worry sounded from outside.


Eros felt his breathing thin and his body suddenly shiver like a cold person.


“Master!”


The door was knocked impatiently.


“Peace with your heart..”


The longer it looks the darker. Eros tried to reach for the shadow but everything disappeared so quickly.


As his eyes closed, a speck of tears flowed down his cheeks.


I'm sorry, Selena.


**


The sky above the country called Singapore was bright. In one of the VVIP rooms of an International hospital, the man still faithfully lay peacefully.


But the fingers attached to the infusion hose began to show a movement. His eyelids blinked slowly, gradually opening, displaying a black bead that had long since not greeted the world.


**


Eros. He immediately sat down and realized that there was an infusion hose attached to his left hand. The man grimaced, feeling his head still dizzy. But he realized that the room was not a hospital, but his own room.


“You aware?”


Steve, who had been standing by the door, began to approach.


“What happened to me?”


Steve put both his hands in his pants pocket and shrugged. “Yeah, you were unconscious—for two days.”


Eros raised his head. “Two days?” he said not sure.


Steve nodded. “I didn't think you could get sick either.”


Eros closed his eyes and leaned his body on the head of the bed. The last time he remembered that he had destroyed his own room. But the room has returned to how it was, even the mirror has been replaced with a new one. The difference is that there is no furniture and flower vases placed on the nightstand or drawer.


Steve took a breath. “It looks like you still need some time off.” The man turned and walked towards the door.


Eros did not answer. He looked away when Steve closed the door. Then when his eyes accidentally glanced at the nightstand beside his bed, it was there.


Their wedding ring was there.


Eros again massaged his temple when the pain whipped. But a second later he took off his hose and grabbed a long brown coat from the closet.


Steve who was standing outside the door was aghast as Eros walked out at a rapid pace.


“Where are you going?!”


That scream was ignored.


**


Selena took a slow breath as the taxi stopped. He handed her some money before going out and pulling her suitcase.


The autumn wind blew, making Selena tighten the brown scarf that wrapped around her neck. He smiled faintly as he stared at the mini malis house with a spacious courtyard. Like the house he dreamed of for a long time. He will plant flowers and vegetables there.


Selena hopes that this time she will find her happiness.


**


Sam had already guessed that the man would break down the door of his apartment—hurry or later. But it's been two days since Selena left the country of her birth, counting a little slow indeed. But if Eros comes to her apartment, it means she hasn't found Selena.


“Where is Selena?!”


As Sam had expected.


Eros impatiently gripped the collar of his shirt. His jaw looks hard.


“Say where he is, s*alan!”


Sam threw Eros' hand and patted his shirt. The man snorted. “You never loved him but you always looked for him as if he were yours. What exactly do you want?”
