VENGEFUL SHACKLES

Hate me!

"But what if it turns out to be true that my father killed your father? Are you still going to stick to the same decision you made me?" josep finally asked, he still had to tell this truth to Paula, however he did not want to hide a big lie for the sake of selfishness himself who did not want to lose his wife's child, no matter what decision Paula, no matter what, he will accept it, because he realizes that the mistakes made by his family, especially his father, cannot and do not deserve to be forgiven.

Paula was silent for a moment, giving her brain time to digest once again Joshep's words and make sure she didn't catch the wrong words Joshep had told her.

"-you mean?" paula asked with a frown.

In a question like that, now it was Joshep's turn to go back to silence, some moments there was only silence between the two of them in the room, to be honest, to be honest, although Joshep had resolved to tell Paula the truth, it was not as easy as he thought. He didn't even know how he should start the conversation while conveying that truth.

The words that have been chosen since yesterday, are thought in ragkai in his head as if scattered, as if, while the rest of the words he was ready to say were actually stuck in the throat and unable to get through.

"Josh, if it's true what you've told me if you want to restart our relationship better, I think honesty and openness are the key. I'm waiting for you to say what you want to say to me" Paula said half-urgently to Joshep, as she also lost her temper waiting for Joshep to start telling stories.

"Sir, do you love me? Would you leave me if it was my father who caused your father to leave for good?" with great difficulty Joshep finally let out his voice.

"Tell me what's really going on!" pinta Paula, she feels that Joshep is currently covering up something from her.

"I-I, I-I-I just found out the truth if it turns out that my father has made your father gone." Joshep resigned.

Paula's tears suddenly flowed profusely down her cheeks, not a word came out of her mouth, she just kept quiet while crying.

"You, you, say something, you can scold me, you can berate my father, you can reveal it to me, I've even resigned if you hate me and choose to leave me, I know what my father did is unforgivable, I can understand you, Pau." Joshep continued.

"Paula,, speak up, forgive me. It all happened because of me. If I didn't love you and insisted on marrying you, maybe it wouldn't have happened to your father, I'm sorry!" Joshep continued to speak despite no answer other than a sobbing from Paula.

"I saw my father in pain and shortness of breath trying to say something at the end of his life, I didn't even know what he was trying to say to me, I could only cry and scream for the doctor, not long after the doctor declared that if you were no longer there, I could not remember what happened, what did your dad do to my dad until my dad looked like he was in pain? What harm? If our relationship was wrong in your father's eyes, why didn't he just kill me, why should my father?" urai Paula recounts her bitter memories in her last moments with her father in the hospital five years ago.

"So, baby, you can hate me, you can punish and report my father, I have a recording of his conversation with Alex's doctor who was a witness at the time, I won't stand in your way" Joshep said, hugging Paula's body so tightly that he was afraid he could no longer feel the warmth of her.

"Will it bring my father back to life? What if I did all that then it would make me feel no pain and sorrow?" said Paula unraveled Joshep's tight hug.

"But at least you should get justice over your father. Besides my father's guilty, he's doing the trick, I won't stand in your way if you're going to put him in jail." - resigned Joshep who no longer knows what to do.

In this case Joshep feels to be the one person most cornered, on the one hand he wants to keep possession and be with Paula, he said, but on the other hand he also could not bear if Paula had to live together with the son of her father's killer, it would be a solitary inner torment for Paula of course.

"I don't know--I don't know what to do right now, which I'm worried about right now is that I feel guilty for my late father, instead, because of me he had to suffer to death in a tragic way!" Paula.

"So, you must not blame yourself, blame me, hate me if you will, you may even punish me for my father's cruelty." if in the past always Paula who several times gathered in front of Joshep to plead, this time Joshep who squealed and knelt before Paula who was sitting on the edge of the bed.

"I'm willing to accept whatever your decision is, Paula, but I beg you not to blame yourself." joshep continued with pleading eyes and resigned to whatever will be Paula's decision later for herself and also for their future shelter.
