I was busy making dinner in the kitchen, at first Mama
Elsa wanted to help me, but I knew that now my mother-in-law needed rest more, and finally I told Mama Elsa to stay in this room, besides the wound on my head was not too bad even though the pain was still felt, but this was only a minor injury and nothing to worry about. I'm busy sautéing vegetables on the frying pan I heard the sound of footsteps tapping on the marble floor of this kitchen, I glanced over, and it was Sadam who was walking towards me.
I don't know what happened, my heart always skips a beat when I see those dark and unreadable eyes. My heart can retire early if it continues like this, I don't want to put high hopes on our marriage, but somehow I also want to get love from Sadam even though it's all too impossible to happen.
"Where, Mama?" Sadam asked me after he stopped his footsteps beside me.
"Ma-mama is in the room," I answered awkwardly. Somehow, I lose the feeling of calm and peace whenever Sadam is near me.
"If your head still hurts, you better rest, later I will order food from outside," said Sadam still in a position that had not shifted beside me and this made me even more nervous.
"It's just a light pain," I said, not daring to look at him for fear if the man knew how I felt now.
"I'm nice to you just because I want to make up for the mistakes that Tasya did the other day, so you don't think like that."
The words that came out of Sadam's lips just now were like arrows being
plug it right into the heart and instantly destroy the feeling that had soared a little higher because of his attention.
"I know," I could only answer briefly with the bottom lip I bit hard so as not to tremble when I said the word earlier.
"Good if you know," the man turned around and stepped out of the kitchen. I couldn't help but smile bitterly at my unfortunate fate because I had been carried away by undue feelings. I deserve it, yes, I deserve it.
A few days later.
Mama and Papa have returned to their homes. Tasya and Sadam's lives are back to normal as usual, and I'm still the same - being a servant in my own husband's house while Liora herself keeps her distance from me if
there is Tasya near us. I was busy sweeping the front yard and finished, I immediately brought a sack filled with dry leaf litter that was scattered in the yard. I turned around and was immediately surprised to see the figure of a man who the other day offered to help on the side of the road, yes, this is the same man.
"Beautiful, do you still remember me?" asked the stranger with his fingers to comb his own hair. I'm really sick of seeing his pretentious handsome attitude, yes, even though he is indeed very handsome compared to Sadam.
"Sorry, I forgot," I lied as I walked away. I don't like engaging in conversation with strangers and prefer to end this pointless conversation as soon as possible.
"Introduce, my name is Son," I immediately took a few steps back when the man was in front of me, he really made
I was just shocked. I just frowned without intending to shake his hand, the man insolently grabbed my hand and held it.
"What are you doing, let go quickly," I shouted hysterically at his attitude. I've never been close to another man and my body immediately trembled with cold sweat that had built up on his forehead.
I don't know what this crazy man is thinking now, because he actually holds my hand tightly with a sweet smile while I was trying to get my hands off his grip. My face must be pale by now. I tried to call the name of the security guard who usually stands guard at the gate but there was no one at the guard post, I don't know where the two security guards had gone. Even though I remember very clearly when I left the gate the two security guards were still there.
"Beautiful, just like this you're already breaking out in cold sweat, but don't worry because I like to see you nervous, you're getting more beautiful and different from other women who will be easily tempted by my good looks," this man seems to have gone crazy and must rush to a mental hospital.
"Let go of me," I shouted loudly.
The man panicked and immediately let go of my hand and me unprepared, I can only surrender when I know that my body will hit the asphalt violently, but there are a pair of hands that immediately hugged me tightly until I fell in his arms.
"Let go of me, I told you to stay away from me," I shouted as I opened my eyes. I was immediately dumbfounded when I saw that the person who
saved me not the man but Sadam.
Why is Sadam suddenly here? Did he see everything that happened, lest he misunderstood me. Look at that he looked at me sharply, but his attitude was very gentle when helping me stand up straight.
"Are you alright?" Sadam asked me if yesterday I had thought that this man was paying attention to me but now I know that he is just trying to make amends for what Mbak Tasya has done all this time.
"Yes," I answered in a trembling voice. I held my hands tightly together to reduce the trembling in my body.
"It's not like that, you see me and Sifana know each other," I immediately rolled my eyes, I couldn't believe what this strange man said, I never even mentioned my name to him, but how did he know my name? Very strange. So I thought.
"Sadam, I really don't know this man, please believe me," I said with my body shaking violently. Sadam looked at me with an unreadable expression, I was about to open my mouth to convince him again, but Tasya's voice started to sound and stopped me from speaking.
"Sifana, why did you take out the trash for so long?" Tasya asked me, then she stared at the strange man for a moment. "Do you know who this man is? Or maybe you two are lovers."
'Why does this stranger know my name? Like something was off.'
