Laura woke up feeling sore almost all over the body. His eyes looked around, and he could not find Sabiel in the room. Laura tried to stretch her stiff body. His eyes were fixed on the trace of the bond found on his wrist. Sabiel was truly a ruthless man, with his stand making Laura's arms faintly reddened by the rope she made last night.
Laura breathed her breath in despair. Sabiel raped her again. He weakly lowered his head, his hands moving to rub the flat part of his stomach. His mind imagined that there were millions of seeds that had been spilled in there.
Laura's mind became agitated, as she imagined Sabiel successfully impregnating her. Especially during marriage, both Laura and Sabiel have never used safety.
"Don't! none of you have been successfully present in my womb. Please don't." Laura spoke to herself while looking at her flat stomach. Anxiety was evident on her beautiful face.
Laura rubbed her face rough, trying to shake off the shadow of the pregnancy that haunted her. A look back around the room that was damaged by Sabiel. Her nightgown was shapeless, lying at the foot of the bed with Sabiel's clothes.
Geck.. Geck.. Geck..
"Mistress?" mbok Yayu's voice sounded.
"Yes Mbok?" Laura wrapped around her body in a blanket and walked towards the door.
"What's wrong, Mbok?" laura asked Mbok Yayu who widened her eyes to look at Laura's messy appearance. Red stains on his neck and chest.
Laura realized the direction of Mbok Yayu's view, she then raised the blanket up to the neck.
"Sorry Mbok, I just woke up." Laura was ashamed of herself.
"Oh, it's okay, ma'am. I should be sorry, has disturbed the sleep of Mrs Laura" said Mbok Yayu while smiling warmly full of proclamation. The twilight age lines are clearly visible from the wrinkles of his eyes and forehead.
"What's wrong, Mbok?" Laura went back to the question.
"So sir, order us before we leave...."
"Master leaving? Go where Mbok?" tanya Laura interrupted Mbok Yayu's speech.
"To town. He said there was something to take care of for the transfer of the Madam to his apartment." said Mbok Yayu.
"Then?" ask Laura back.
"So Mr. asked me to help the Madam with the clothes to be brought." he said politely remembering his employer's words before leaving.
"When are we leaving?" Laura was astonished by Sabiel's order that seemed rushed.
"Next night, madam."
"Huh?! That fast?" Laura was a little surprised. "Yes already, I will clean myself first Mbok. Mbok will come here again." said Laura. "Eemm while bringing breakfast Mbok." he was shy
"Well, Madam." said Mbok Yayu while smiling gently at his young employer.

In one of the apartments in Bandung.
"Have you cleared everything?" Sabiel asked his confidant.
"Already sir, the apartment is ready to be occupied. In some corners I have installed cctv according to your request." said the man aged forty years mid.
"Good, I believe in you Tomi" Sabiel told the man who led Laura's abduction the other day.
"Mrs Diamond will really be back, sir?" tanya Tomi who has long been a confidant in the Sabiel family.
That man was Sabiel's father's trust. After Sabiel's parents die, Tomi is assigned to take care of the outlet business and the property left by Sabiel's parents, by providing regular reports to Sabiel as heir. Sabiel himself already considers Tomi part of his family, so whatever happens to him, Tomi knows it for sure.
"yeah. Tomorrow he will return." said Sabiel lethargic.
Tomi seemed to bow her head, she understood the baldness of her master. The man also knows the ins and outs of Sabiel's housewife with Intan who is in a mess because of the selfish nature of his Master's wife.
"How long will Madam Intan be here?" tanyanya.
"So you know for yourself, don't you, what Intan's own free attitude is. He comes as he pleases, and will go as he pleases." Sabiel looks lazy when he talks about his first wife.
"What about the divorce, sir?" Tomi also knows her Master's wish to be free from Intan's entanglement.
"Since Intan threatened to commit suicide, I haven't found the right time to re-express" Sabiel said.
"Why don't you let it? It's possible that the Madam is just trying to bluff." Tomi suggested.
"I can't risk Tomi, I promised her parents to look after her. And I can't break that promise." Sabiel.
"Sir, shouldn't you just forget that promise? After all, the attitude and actions of the Lady in treating the Master during this time can be a strong reason to abolish the promise of the Master." suggested Tomi.
Sabiel was in his mind. What Tomi said reminded her of the words of her foster father, Sandjaya. All this time, even though Intan did not serve him well as a wife. But Intan is very good at taking care of himself and his loyalty. For seven years married to him, never once did Intan play around behind Sabiel. That's what sometimes makes Sabiel always lose if the argument about divorce with him. Because of Intan, there was no gap for Sabiel to forcefully retreat. It was also what later became Intan's weapon if Sabiel returned to discuss divorce. The woman will corner Sabiel about his promise plus his loyalty, until finally always managed to make Sabiel not warty.
"Tom, when Intan went again to Singapore. You told some of your men to scout her." Sabiel ordered as he thought of something. "I wonder if there's anything I can use as a weapon to force her back." Sabiel's eyes flashed, glittering with strategy.
"Good Sir. Will I do it?" tomi's voice turned excited.
"Now back to Laura's problem. After moving here, I will allow him to continue his education. I want you to directly monitor all his activities as long as I'm not at his side" Sabiel said
"Okay sir, you don't have to worry. I will escort Madame Laura." said Sabiel's former confidante as he lowered his head.

Kenanga Cottage.
Laura stared at some neatly stored suitcases in the corner of her room. A while ago, he assisted Mbok Yayu and Mbok Suti have finished packing. All the clothes Sabiel bought for him, with all his equipment completed were tidied up in two large suitcases and 1 small suitcase.
Laura looked at the bright blue sky through the window of the room, she opened the window quietly and the mountain breeze immediately hit her face.
His eyes stared doubtfully at the screen of the phone he had been holding since. But after a long struggle with doubt, Laura finally decided to contact someone. Someone who was missed by him.
Next to Laura's hand clasped the iron trellis of the window tightly, nervousness instantly assaulted her as soon as the tone of the connection sounded.
"Hello? The darling? Laura's? Huh hello? Laura, is that you?!" The Milky Way immediately searched for it. From her hasty voice, Laura knew that the man clearly missed her, just like her.
"Boom?" whispered Laura.
"Oh Tuhaaan, finally.." a tone of relieved voice scattering from across there. "You're driving me crazy, baby. Where have you been, huh?!" The Milky Way was beset by a great longing for his beloved.
"Sorry, my phone's broken.." Laura closed her mouth, her throat began to feel heavy and blocked. "Did you miss me?" said Laura trying to neutralize her voice that began to stammer.
"You don't deserve to ask that. I almost die thinking about you all the time, Laura." said the Milky Way, who had not noticed Laura's voice change. "What are you doing now?"
"I'm in my room, just back from college." Laura's eyes hurt to hold back the tears that wanted to fall. "What are you doing there?"
"You know, the barrel was destined to be a witch, baby. He's given me so many files I've had to learn since my return from your place." The Milky Way enthusiastically recounts his days that continue to be preoccupied with files and reports on labor issues. "She's really not willing to let me relax a bit. Oh yes, he wants to meet you, baby. I say that now that I have a lover, at first he does not believe, he even says I'm just boasting." The Milky Way's lips whine adorable, if Laura can see it.
"He doesn't believe?" tears have fallen down her cheeks. Laura shut her mouth tightly preventing the Milky Way from hearing her sob. "Your appearance is hard to believe, Milky Way." said Laura while removing the rough tears that were getting heavier.
The man chuckled at Laura's assessment of her appearance that impressed installment.
"You don't even believe in how I look, baby. All you have to believe is that me and my heart are. Loving you." The Milky Way scratched the back of his head while blushing in shame, he did not see across there Laura collapsing, squirming on the floor with tears, with his hands beating his chest slowly.
"You must remember, appearances will always deceive you. But not with the heart." continued the Milky Way later. "Darling, are you listening?" he asked when Laura's voice could not be heard across there.
Laura cleared her throat a few times, gulping down her rough saliva while adjusting her severed breath.
"I listened." he said later. "Yes, sometimes the appearance can always be deceiving. We can't trust someone just by their looks, can we?!" said Laura.
"Yes. You're right." Bimasakti. "Laura, are you okay? Your voice... "
"I'm in pain. A little flu, so my voice's a little bit nasal." Laura instantly severed the man's worries with her reasoning.
"Mom...."
"Yes dear."
"When are you gonna come here?"
"Why? Are you not strong enough to resist longing?" Bimasakti grinned ignorantly.
"Ish you this." Laura tried to smile at her lover's clumsiness. "There's something I want to say. But I have to say it directly" Laura clenched one of her hands.
For God's sake, Laura wasn't ready for what she had to say. Laura wasn't ready to part with someone she loved like this. He did not want to give a wound to the sincerity of the love that the man offered for him.
Oh Milky Way, what should I do? even now my body does not deserve your love anymore.
"What is that about, baby? You're making me curious." The Milky Way tries to find out.
"I can't say it here. So I asked, when are you coming here?"
"All right, I'll work on it as soon as possible. I didn't realize I wanted to meet you either. Long distance relationships like this, it turns out to be very tiring." he complained later.
"All right then. I have to go back to studying. I'll call you later." Laura wanted to end that heartbreaking call. "Oh yeah, I'll turn off my phone. I'm afraid you're ruining my concentration. So don't try to bother me to learn. Okay?!" laura's tone of voice was made as loud as possible.
Oddity rang out from across the street, the Milky Way was unaware that when it was happy, Laura was whimpering on the other hand withstanding unbearable pain. His heart was filled with deep sadness, until his chest felt as if he was struggling.
"Well, I won't bother you, my dear. I wait for you." said Bimasakti. "I love you Laura, and it always will."
"Me too..." Laura could not continue her words, she immediately ended the call immediately.
The words of the Milky Way filled his mind. Tears grew louder as his body trembled violently. Laura's hurt. His heart grimaced withholding an indelible. He cried while lowering his head.
Over there, the Milky Way's eyes glittered with caution. Quietly, she realized something was wrong with her boyfriend. Laura's voice was too nasal for a person who only had the flu. The man's ears also apparently heard a very faint hint of sobbing from his lover's lips.
Suddenly the Milky Way felt uneasy. Laura, it's not okay. That girl must be hiding something.
He must find out the truth immediately. The uneasy and uneasy feeling that had engulfed his heart, would never go away before he could ascertain for himself what had happened.
"What's wrong with you, baby." he murmured softly.
