After struggling with thoughts, I finally decided to go home on foot. Senyo is outrageous. Even though I begged him not to leave me. Luckily I know the way to their residence. If not, maybe I will spend the night in this café alone.
I don't know exactly what time it is. What is clear, the night is so dark and late. Only heavy trucks cross this highway. Every now and then the laughter of street children adorns the city.
Half an hour passed. I stopped in front of the closed shop. There happened to be a lounger there. My throat feels so dry. My stomach is also very hungry, because Senyo did not feed me at all. I sat back with my legs crossed. To be honest I was really scared. I was traumatized by the incident when I was nearly raped.
Once satisfied sitting, I chose to continue the step. When I passed an empty house, I was suddenly startled by two dogs that suddenly rushed towards me. My eyes widen. I ran as fast as I could. The fanged beast just kept chasing me while howling loudly. I am very scared. There will be no one to help if the dogs attack me. What has my flesh will be torn apart.
"P- Heeelp!" I shouted. Hoping there will be ears to hear.
Dear a thousand dear. The location here is too quiet considering the people are already moving to dreamland. My strength was almost exhausted, while the two animals continued to chase me non-stop.
I saw a pond not far from one of the residents' houses. My mind is no longer clear. Instead of being chased by dogs, I'd rather just throw myself in there.
I stride wide. Hold your breath then jump from top to bottom. Now, I feel that my feet are no longer on the ground, but deep mud. I swept all over my body and all that could be seen was the chest up. Don't forget to look at the dogs. Apparently they stopped the action while watching me from up there. I deliberately stayed in this dirty place. My toes felt frozen from the cold water. My nose smells bad.
Approximately ten minutes I soak in the pond owned by residents. I went back up to the surface after the dogs had not been seen again. Now, my body is covered by a yellowish brown color. At the same time, my tears started flowing again.
"Oh Lord. Why is this my fate?" echo in my heart.
Today I was really afflicted with a lot of misfortune. Everything that happened to me recently came from Senyo. He always tortured me. There was no pity in his heart. Especially when he knows that I live alone in his house. I don't know how long Senyo will be like that. Maybe it will stop when I'm dead. Not just his wife, he has dared arbitrarily. I can't imagine my life with that man later.
On the veranda of the house, I found Mr. Johan's family. Shy. That's the only word that can describe my current state. I took a slow step over there. Meeting those I don't know why are gathered outside at this hour.
"Nara? Good grief! You're home? What happened to you?" Mr. Johan was the first to see me.
I cover my sadness with a bitter smile. Try not to look weak. Mrs. Runi and Senyo looked so shocked. They must be wondering why I can take a mud bath like this.
"Nara, where have you been? We were all so tired of looking for you. I told you to wait for me in the parking lot. You are selfish, "said Senyo with emphasis.
I was shocked. What did he say? Tch! I know right now he's creating drama. I also know that he is laughing at me inside. Senyo must be happy to see my dirty and smelly condition now.
It's always a hassle. Can't you take my son's words, hem? " Now, Mrs. Runi is also taking over. Whether Senyo told the girl or not, I don't know.
"What happened, Nora?" asked Mr. Johan again.
I just nodded resignedly. Holding the tears from falling When I was about to answer, Senyo interrupted first.
"Oh, come on, Daddy. I'll just ask him tomorrow. Poor Nara. He should clean his body first. The most important thing now is that Nara is home safely. Come on, Nora. I'll take you to your room through the back door, "said Senyo."
I just got annoyed with him. His behavior is getting worse. I followed Senyo's steps. Arriving behind the house, Senyo suddenly stopped.
Never, ever tell Daddy this.Please compose another story. " His forefinger was stuck to my forehead.
"Master really has no heart," I whispered bitterly.
"Don't be spoiled. It's just that I'm tired of it. How about after we live together later? "
I swallowed heavily after hearing Senyo's words just now. That means he wants us to separate from Mr. Johan and his wife. I can feel an eerie aura from Senyo. Looks like he did this on purpose.
"Alright, go in there yourself!" he said, then shoved my shoulder roughly.

I was done with all the homework after Mr. Johan invited me to the dinner table. Last night I couldn't sleep, so I decided to just clean up.
Mr. Johan's family is used to eating at the same table with me. At first Mrs. Runi and Senyo refused, but gradually they finally gave in to the situation. Mr. Johan is often angry when I eat in the kitchen.
"Nara, what happened to you last night? "asked Mr. Johan, breaking the silence. In front of me, Senyo suddenly stopped his activities. He glared at me.
"E-ummm. I fell into the pond, sir, "I answered simply.
"Whoa! Why not? " Mr. Johan's body was erect. The spoon just slipped from the handle.
"That's why I didn't want to leave you alone yesterday, but you are too stubborn," said Senyo angrily. His eyebrows are curly. signaling for me to shut up.
"I was planning to go home alone last night so as not to trouble Master Senyo. On the way, I had an accident, "I lied." I did all of this so that Senyo wouldn't do something much crazier.
"You're too selfish, Nora. Never heard what I said. "
I'm silent. Lazy to reply to Senyo's nonsense?
"No need to be shy with us, Nara. Soon you will be a part of Johan's family. Don't repeat what you did last night, okay? We were really tired of looking for you. Mr. Johan brushed his temples.
So they gathered on the veranda last night waiting for me to come home. Senyo is great too. He acted like he didn't know anything. After all, he was the one who left me on purpose.
"Oh yes, It looks like you need a cell phone. So, if there's anything, you can call us. Senyo, accompany your future wife shopping, because today Daddy has started work. "
"Buy a new cellphone for Nara?" Mrs. Runi answered from the other side. She looked surprised by her husband's words. I watched Senyo out of the corner of my eye. I found the look of annoyance on his face as well.
"Disaster brings blessings," I said quietly.
