VENGEFUL SHACKLES

Surprise on the way home

"You didn't go to the seminar?" Ask Paula.

Joshep still looks silent waiting for him, when the time is almost showing at 7 am, but the man has not been seen preparing.

Joshep shook his head, "I've sent my report and also asked the committee for permission, I'll accompany you today."

"Why is that? I'm fine, just drowning. Go, isn't your goal here to attend the seminar?" Again Paula felt guilty and unwell to Joshep because she felt that he had messed up the joshep show.

"No, I'll just be here. Anyway all the reports I've sent and they won't be a problem." Joshep still refused to leave Paula even though now the face of his ex-instrument is no longer pale, the fever in his body has also gone down.

Joshep accompanies Paula all day, helps Paula prepare a meal, accompanies her sitting on the terrace while looking at the beach, although not much they talk about one another.

Joshep seemed to be quieter since morning, his mind was not there, making Paula feel that it was because she was bothering him and making the man fail to attend the seminar.

"Josh, what's the problem? I see you as if you haven't focused all day, ever since you got the call this morning, you've been acting weird." Ask Paula at last.

"Or is it because I failed you at the seminar? Sorry, it's been a hassle to you." he continued.

"No, you better not think weird. I've already explained that if I've completed the seminar, it doesn't matter much anyway." Shangkal Joshep's.

"What lounge? What makes you feel so depressed and think so hard? Is there a problem at the hospital? Or did Bella come to visit?" Paula kept guessing what was going on.

"No. Nothing, everything's fine." Joshep said flatly.

"In that case, shouldn't we just go home? Your seminar's over and I'm fine now, let's go home, I miss Kevin too, from yesterday I haven't heard from you." Take Paula.

"Why did you arrange me? You're just my assistant. If I still want to be here, why? Kevin, Kevin, Kevin just keep what you think. Have you never thought about your own body? You're sick, and you also need your own time, there's his father, why do you still have to think about them all the time? Is that love you with them, so that when you are with me there are only them in your head, never once do you care how I feel? My feelings were once a part of your life, which he said you used to say was the man you love the most, bullshit!" josep's anger suddenly overflows, only because Paula invites him home because she misses Kevin and wants to know the news of her son who from yesterday did not have time to call because of his cellphone is out of power.

"Josh, my son is lying sick there, I'm coming with you here as my responsibility because I work for you, I'm just taking you home because didn't you say your business is done here, you'll never understand what it's like to be a mother, to be a parent." Paula still uses her quiet mode even though the sentence is full of emphasis.

"Yes, I really can't understand how to be a parent, because my dream of having a happy family with my children is that you're robbed and cruelly destroyed." Ketus.

"Josh, until when are you going to bring up our past and keep hitting the drums of war with me, while we already have our own way of life. Can't you and I live in peace and bury all our old stories, but your hostility and misery won't change everything that's happened."

"It's easy for you to say that, because you've never been in the position of being hurt like me, and you've also gotten my replacement with a poor man who's asking you to live a hard life, who tormented you and let you work your bones just to survive, mentally ill! You even get happiness in all your suffering!" maki Joshep is becoming.

Sometimes Joshep feels that the distress that Paula is experiencing right now is karma from God due to her betrayal, but sees the suffering that Paula has to live, he said, his heart felt sick and not willing if Paula had to go through all that, so that's what makes Joshep's mood sometimes down when facing Paula, his love and hate sometimes play tricks on his feelings as if they want to appear and want to beat each other in his chest.

"Please tell me as you like Josh, I won't be angry and will just listen to you." Paula Pasrah.

There is no point in fighting Joshep's emotions, however, whatever he says will not change the circumstances and reality that are embedded in Joshep if he is just a wife of the traitor who hurt him.

Joshep always asks Paula to eat, because she wants Paula to eat so that Paula's body looks malnourished will be replenished, at least after Paula works with Joshep, his body now began to look like he had flesh again, not just bones wrapped in skin.

"I'm not hungry, you ask me to accompany you to eat, but the edges tell me to eat, eat and eat at all times, my stomach is still full." Rejecting Paula, she knew that if Joshep asked her to accompany him to a meal, it meant that he also had to eat.

"Look at yourself, you look like a living skull! Quickly accompany me to eat and take your medicine!"

"I'm comfortable with my body, my husband never gives me a fuss about my body shape!"

"Eat or we won't go home!" threatening Joshep, he knew Paula said it was to lure back his emotions.

Hearing the threat that Paula finally wants to eat, she wants to go home soon, because she misses her son so much, this is the first time Paula left Kevin for days during her life, and it's only because of Joshep.

After eating, Joshep fulfilled his promise, they were getting ready to go home, the long journey back they took with only mutual silence, only the silence felt in this car, he said, only the difference this time Paula did not fall asleep, she woke up accompanying Joshep who was driving though without talking for almost five hours on their way home.

"Let me down at the hospital!" Paula Pinta.

"No, you've just traveled a long way, you'd better rest your body and refresh yourself!" Reject Joshep who keeps bringing Paula to his house.

It feels like Paula refused, but again she pressed her ego and then followed Joshep's orders to come home first and clean up, besides Joshep's words also no harm, no harm, he should have cleaned himself up and just met his son in the hospital.

"Where?" Joshep asked when he saw Paula was well dressed.

"Hospital" Paula answered briefly.

"I'll drive you, I have a little business there too, we go together." Joshep, who does not usually ask to go to the hospital, usually does not care about it, but Paula does not have any suspicions or bad thoughts, for him to get to the hospital sooner it would be better, because it means he will meet with Kevin sooner.

Paula walks into Kevin's hospital room, some nurses see her with a strange look, some nurses already know Paula because every day Paula comes to see her son.

Paula thought that some of the nurses' strange gazes were because she was the one who came with Joshep, and now Joshep was next to her, moreover, Paula also had heard about the rumors of her closeness to Joshep scattered among nurses and hospital staff, starting from the payment of Kevin hospital fees that use Joshep cards and their closeness in value is not unusual, so Paula finally slowed her steps so that Joshep walked in front of her no longer in line with him.

"Hi Josh, how was the seminar? You're too diligent to attend a seminar that really doesn't matter, or maybe it's your wits because you want to vacation on the beach?" Temptation of Doctor Stanly who passed them in the hospital hallway.

Joshep only answered her with a stiff smile and occasionally the tip of his eyes glanced at Paula who seemed to hear Stanly's words very clearly.

"Oh, Mrs Hill, how's Kevin doing now? Is the code stable there?" Ask Stanly.

"You mean?" Paula asked back.
