VENGEFUL SHACKLES

Your son

Adam's request to stop working at Joshep's place is certainly a new thorny issue for Paula, how she conveys it to Joshep, while she was already under contract with her ex-husband, not to mention the debts that must be paid in full before she asked to resign from the job that Joshep gave her, it is impossible, right, if he suddenly asked to resign without wind without testing.

"Why? Are you thinking about your husband at home? Youmisshim? You want to go home to see him at home? Don't dream, we have a contract and you've agreed to it." Sinis Joshep that night when he finds Paula daydreaming alone on the porch after she finishes cooking dinner for joshep.

"No, I'm just hot and want to get some fresh air." Kill Paula.

"Come in, help me eat!" Take Joshep.

Without a lot of resistance, Paula followed obediently behind Joshep, her mind was now unfazed because there was too much she had to think about, so her head felt hot and like it was about to explode, but Paula tried to remain calm in the midst of her death.

"After this you put some of my clothes in the suitcase, and you also put some of your clothes on," Joshep said during dinner.

"Why should I prepare my clothes too?" Paula asked in shock.

"This morning I have a seminar outside the city, I have a lot to prepare, so I ask you to come along to help me there for two days." Bright Joshep still looks flat and indifferent.

"But--" doubts Paula.

"Why, don't you want to? You work for me, and you have to take care of my needs, in vain I pay you very dearly if my needs alone I have to take care of them myself, or don't you want to let go of missing your husband?" Cynical Joshep.

"Bu-not like that, I just--"

"What only? Just want to let go of the miss with your husband?" Joshep dropped his spoon and fork on the plate so that a loud clanking of glass could be heard.

"If I go two days with you, what about Kevin? I can't leave her." Answer Paula.

"Paula, all this time you've been no less looking after your son, making a living for your life as well as your son, there's his father, there, what's wrong with him taking care of Kevin for two days? Isn't that his job too? You don't have to put all the responsibility on your own shoulders, let your husband take turns looking after your son, after all, doesn't your son miss his father so much? Do my orders now, I don't want to be denied!" Joshep left the dining table in anger.

Paula was speechless, 'If you knew Kevin whom you always called your son, your son, was your own flesh and blood, would you still be able to say things like you said earlier?' Inner Paula.

It hurts every time Joshep calls Kevin 'your son' as if Kevin was a boy born out of a mistake Paula made, it's like Kevin's something Joshep hates.

Maybe it's not entirely Joshep's fault, he's behaving that way with Kevin, because he doesn't know the truth if the boy he calls "your son" is his son.

Fortunately Adam was able to understand and eventually allowed Paula to leave despite a little debate between them because Adam felt Joshep was considered to have no empathy, obviously Paula had to wait for Kevin who was sick, even invited to go to accompany him to work out of town.

But Paula was able to provide understanding and explanation that finally made Adam melt, and Adam's prote is not because he did not want to keep Kevin, without asking he would definitely take care of Kevin, Kevin, it's just that he still feels not so fond of Joshep, in his eyes Joshep is not a sincere person in giving help to Paula.

"Let's hurry, we can't be late, tomorrow morning I should've attended the seminar." Joshep shouted from inside the car while Paula was still busy with her luggage.

They use the road, whatever Joshep's consideration, choose a trip using his car that will spend about 4 to 5 hours of travel that must be taken, he said, though he can choose a trip by air whose flight is only taken about thirty-five minutes.

It seems that Joshep does want to enjoy his time with Paula to feel longer despite the risk that he must feel more tired because he has to drive all night.

At times Joshep's lips unwittingly smiled as he glanced at Paula sleeping on the bench next to him, a sight that made him flashback to five years ago where he always loved to stare at Paula while asleep, in her eyes Paula's beauty radiated a thousand times than usual while Paula was sleeping like that.

Time has shown at half-three in the morning when the car that Joshep drove finally stopped in front of a resort.

Paula was still at home closed when Joshep stretched out his hand and swept his palm over Paula's cheek which now looks very thin due to being too thin.

"Why did you choose such a pathetic path as this Pau! Your body is even like a living skull." Mumbled Joshep.

Joshep still remembers how Paula's cubby cheeks, which always make her anxious and want to bite her, her proportional body like a model, make many men crazy about the beauty of Paula when school used to be, and the, not to mention Paula is also a popular student because she always gets a general champion, so that time Joshep decided to marry Paula after they graduated from High School because he did not want Paula to be taken by another man when he was studying abroad, but it turns out fate said another, but it was different, his relationship with Paula now just has to end as it is today, even though his love for Paula is still as great as ever.

Feeling that something was moving on her face, Paula seemed to feel disturbed and finally woke up from her sleep.

"Have we arrived?" Paula rubbed her cheeks that had been held by Joshep.

Joshep who immediately kept his hand away from Paula's cheek when he knew she was going to wake up looks flabbergasted, "I-iya, we just got there, quick down! Tell nemenin to snore!" ketus Joshep hid his nervousness.

"Why?" Joshep asked who saw Paula instead of going down but instead reflected on her face in the rearview of the car.

"It seems like there was an ant crawling on my cheek," Paula said as she rubbed her cheek and noticed the reflection of her face in the rearview mirror.

"You're making it up" joshep grumbled, because what Paula thought was her ant hand that had been naughty since caressing the woman's ppi.
