Lita has arrived at her house. To be precise, the house was a gift from his father. His eyes were slightly swollen from the constant crying.
He immediately lay down his body which of course was tired. So is his heart. Her husband was so hard on her. If possible, Lita does not want to return to this house. Better to go back to his old house.
There, he would never cry like this. He also gets attention and affection there. Very different from here. For him, Daniel is no longer the kind-hearted uncle he used to be.
"Arrrgh" Lita covered her face with one arm.
'He didn't even pick me up earlier. And now, he just didn't show up. Is he having fun with his girlfriend?'
Lita was still sobbing. His breathing rose and fell irregularly. Until a few seconds later. The bedroom door opened.
Look at the figure of Daniel with an innocent look. Don't feel guilty at all. Lita glanced over and immediately looked away. Her husband had been so rude to her.
Daniel walked slowly and was now sitting on the edge of the bed. He knew that Lita would be very angry with him. But, what can you do? The rice has become porridge and cannot be returned to its original state.
"Lita," he called softly.
There was no response from his wife. Daniel took a deep breath. "I'm sorry for everything that has happened. I know you must hate me," he said bitterly.
'Unfortunately, I will never be able to hate you,' Lita muttered to herself.
Feeling that his little wife will not respond. Daniel also took out a pill that he bought at the pharmacy earlier. Birth control pills to be precise. "Drink. With this, you won't get pregnant."
Instead of taking the medicine offered by the husband. Lita even brushed it off. So, the innocent medicine just fell to the floor.
"Lita!" said Daniel half-shouted.
"Why?! You're angry?!" said Lita so emotional. The girl immediately got up and looked at Daniel with a murderous look.
Daniel was surprised to see Lita's current reaction. The girl had never behaved as emotionally as she was now. What Daniel knows, Lita is a gentle person and doesn't talk much.
"It is not like that. I just don't want you to get pregnant. So, please take the medicine," he coaxed.
Lita smiled sarcastically and again it succeeded in making Daniel surprised. "Why? Are you ashamed to have a child from my womb? Or am I not worthy of giving birth to a child for you?!" he said.
'Why can Lita be like this? He feels so foreign right now.'
"No Lita. This is all for your future too. Please, follow me this time."
Lita held back the tears that almost broke out with all her might. She couldn't cry in front of an asshole like her husband. With a quick movement, Lita immediately went down. He took the medicine and swallowed it quickly without the help of water at all.
"SATISFIED?!" she said angrily. Lita climbed into her bed and immediately covered her whole body with a blanket.
Daniel just kept quiet and watched the angry figure. "I'm sorry Lita."
He immediately moved to leave in front of his wife. Slowly, the bedroom door finally closed perfectly.

Lita is now rummaging through her food with a blank stare. Suddenly, Lisna and Arkan stared at each other. They felt that there was something odd about Lita's figure who had not been in for two days citing illness.
Actually, since last night they wanted to visit his friend. However, Lita forbade it by saying that she had recovered.
"Lita." Lisna patted Lita's back lightly.
Lita immediately realized and was a little surprised. "Hmmm."
"What's wrong with you? Still sick?" asked Arkan so worried.
Lita nodded slowly. "Not. It just doesn't taste good," he said with a faint smile.
Lisanna took a deep breath. "That means you're still sick. Shouldn't have come in today."
"Can not! I've been missing lessons for a few days. Moreover, there will be an odd semester exam soon."
"I know. However, health is also important. If you are sick like this. You will also not be able to take the exam. You better go home okay? Let us allow it and deliver it," offered Lisna.
Lisna was worried to see Lita's face, which was like an undead. Lita shook her head slowly. "No Liss. I'm fine. Trust me," said Lita weakly. Indeed, he admitted that he was really weak today. Maybe the effect of being tired from having to travel far from Jakarta to Bandung and vice versa.
Arkan, who had been watching for a while, felt a little strange. Inadvertently his eyes caught a glimpse of the red marks on Lita's neck. There were so many reddish marks, almost all over the surface of the beautiful girl's neck. Of course, he started to think strange things.
'Why is Lita's neck covered with marks like that? Who has done it? Does he have a girlfriend?'
"Lita," called Arkan suddenly.
"Hmm..."
"You already have a lover?" asked Arkan to make sure.
Lita's brows furrowed. Why is Arkan's question the same as Lisna's last question? Is it because of that sign?
His eyes were perfectly wide. Lita quickly let her hair down in a ponytail as usual. Lita forgot that fact.
It's not just his neck that has red marks. However, the marks were all over his body. And the culprit is the husband. Stupidly, he used to think the red marks were due to illness.
"Of course not!" said Lita as calmly as possible.
Wasn't he lying? She doesn't have a boyfriend, but she has a husband.
'Arkan must be suspicious because of the red marks on Lita's neck. But, it seems Lita is not lying. There are more and more signs than last time. It could be a disease,' thought Lisna.
'Ah. Lita couldn't lie. She's a good girl,' thought Arkan reassuring himself who had doubts.
"What's going on?" asked Lita back. He pretended not to know.
Ark shook his head and smiled. "Oh, it's nothing. Oh yes, let me feed it, "said Arkan. He immediately took over Lita's food which had just been touched a little.
Lita smiled a little and nodded. It seems that if you feed it, the food will run out. Lisna could only shake her head at the behavior of the two.
"Surely people will think that Lisna Mulan Sanjaya is a mosquito repellent for these two annoying people," he cursed in his heart.
Arkan was so happy to see Lita who started to devour her food. It seems that the beautiful girl with back-length hair likes the food being fed.
"Thank you, Ark. I always make it difficult for you," said Lita uncomfortably between meals.
"That's okay. An Arkan Emperor Sanjaya will always be ready to feed the beautiful daughter of Lalita Andrea," he said.
Lita chuckled amused to hear that. He devoured the food offered by his friend again.
'Maybe if I marry you. I will be happy. It turns out that love does not guarantee a happy life for someone. Especially if the love is unrequited, aka one-sided,' thought Lita feeling so sad.
