Don't Say Love (BOOK 2)
Chapter 15

Arif's sleepy face makes Arnetta's life spirit arise. This boy was almost like hope to him. He who originally chose to give up on fate was ultimately defeated by the charm of this child. He never expected what makes Lusi hate him so much, even though Arif is his flesh and blood is also his only child. If Arnetta had a small family, where she was a mother, she would never have hurt her heart. Had Arif been his son, Arnetta's life would have improved.

He also knew in the middle of his activities with the boy, Jullian was always watching. His eagle eyes never stopped anywhere other than him. Honestly, what the man had done frightened her. There was an ominous vibe every time he saw her face and even made Arnetta want to vomit.

Now that the boy had fallen asleep, Arnetta no longer knew how to behave. Moreover, Jullian's gaze never moved from him sitting on the living room sofa while holding Alif's head on his thigh.

Jullian who was sitting opposite him while looking at him sharply made Arnetta want to immediately run from this place. His heartbeat was mad until he felt cold sweat aggravate the beat. I wanted Arnetta to sleep as well as Alif, but unfortunately he couldn't.

"So, your residence for these few days is a charade for me to pity you?"

Those words shouldn't surprise Arnetta. He should have received a slur from Jullian's mouth. However, what to say. His hands were still trembling and unable to answer the question.

"I-I'm not-fear."

His voice was like shivering. Rippling and loud inaudible. With her face covered in hair, Jullian could not see how she looked. However, he occasionally caught the blank stare of a pair of eyes that used to be his place to imagine the woman.

"You're clearly guilty. It's worth it that you're scared." Jullian said with a dark face.

If it was true that Arnetta was only making a show to avoid him for many days, then he would not hesitate to carry out a heinous punishment for this woman.

For him, Since Arnetta began to dare to break his heart, Jullian also had the right to break something belonging to this woman.

"If you're just lying and acting, then I won't hesitate to punish you harder than yesterday."

The woman looks scared.

Jullian was not unaware of the tremors in Arnetta's interlocking hands. The woman was agitated, even to the point of shivering after she made a sound. Although he should be happy with the fear that the woman has for him, in fact he feels hurt as well. Deep down, Jullian longed to see the long-lost smile on her lips.

"You scared?"

Arnetta felt dizzy in his head. He wanted to pull his hair out. The pain he felt was not the pain he knew the cause. Many voices whispered as if making himself chaotic. Moreover, the familiar scream voice with the male voice before him.

The woman was scared. He couldn't stand it.

Jullian almost worked on the woman when he saw that Arnetta's hand was starting to grab himself. He ran and took Alif from her lap.

"Bi Mary! Come here!"

The middle-aged woman immediately ran from the direction of the kitchen in a hurry. His panic grew when he saw Arnetta sobbing in place while grabbing her own hair.

"You accompany Alif. Let Arnetta take care of me."

Mary did not need to take the order twice. He immediately darted in half running leaving the two men alone.

Jullian immediately crouched in front of Arnetta who was lucky to grab his hair by making. His mess started to sound clear as the woman roared in pain. Unbearable with his condition, Jullian immediately held his hand despite having to accept a rostrum.

"sick! Unhand me! Sakiiiit!" That was the only sentence that Arnetta had heard on Jullian.

"Rescious Arnetta! Your head will hurt even more if you keep hurting yourself."

But, what to say. Arnetta had already lost her gentle self just a moment ago while being with Alif the woman had instantly turned hysterical for some reason.

"Neurope ... "

The man carried Arnetta's body into his arms. Just like a few years ago, a strange spark was always felt in his heart when he embraced the woman's body. Jullian felt that he was carried away by the atmosphere when they were still together.  However, the feeling did not last long, as he was shocked to find the woman's body trembling and cold. He hugged Arnetta tighter as the vibrations in his body became more and more.

It's free. Whatever he said the woman's body remained trembling. Arnetta was cold and trying to reach her hair.

"They .. evil. Hell will punish me. I'm dirty."

Although slowly but Jullian heard it clearly. I don't know why the hatred he previously felt just evaporated. Arnetta who was in his arms was like a fragile thing that he could destroy at any moment. His stirring even further added to Jullian's energy to hug him tightly.

"Those who are evil I will kill. No one can touch you even the tip of a fingernail, Netta."

Unknowingly the sentence Iru said from Jullian's lips. His hand rubbed the woman's narrow back gently. For a while Jullian would let this woman calm down. Hate can be put aside. I don't know, but that feeling is better than ...

Lost Arnetta for the second time.

***

"He had a great psychic trauma. Painful events in the past made it that way. I thought this symptom had been going on for years."

The explanation of the doctor beside him was quite shocking to him. He thought the woman had started to react that way after he tortured her. He himself unknowingly cremated the medicinal prescription paper in his hand. Hearing someone else hurt Arnetta could invite his anger.

"I think there's a lot this woman has to tell me, Rian."

The man took off his glasses. Jullian had contacted her for a long time as a doctor and the last time was when she checked on a woman who had fallen asleep in her apartment. However, who would have thought if this man repeated the incident first, where he also checked Arnetta's condition. However, he could not provide further diagnosis. He is an expert in medicine, not a psychiatrist. He knew very well the condition that Arnetta experienced was quite severe depression. If left unchecked, Jullian would have to send this woman to a mental hospital.

"Don't force. I don't want her condition to get worse. Usually if they feel threatened, any sharp objects around them can be used to injure them."

Jullian knitted his eyebrows disliking. His forehead frowned deeply after the words were digested by his brain.

"Suicide, you mean?"

Rian sighed softly. He knew this news would definitely not be liked by Jullian. "Yes, symptoms of depression like this can make the sufferer act beyond reason. Although we do not know if he will hurt people around, but certainly the first person he will hurt is himself. Don't let the spirit of his life disappear, because I know it will be a long time for his healing. If it's worse, you should leave it in ..."

"A mental hospital?" Jullian. Suddenly his throat became dry. Imagining the woman wearing hospital clothes with a blank stare made her tense.

"All right, I'm saying goodbye. My wife will definitely come to the hospital. Let him rest, Jullian." Said Rian before actually leaving the room.

Just as he was about to catch up, Jullian instantly felt a tremor on his phone. When he saw the screen, his forehead frowned when he saw the doctor who used to treat Ratih, Arnetta's mother contacted him. It is very unusual for this doctor to call her if not to report the results of the woman's surgery.

"Yes, Doc?"

The voice across there no longer gave a polite greeting. A faint voice greeted Jullian's ears. The man did not speak anything and just waited, but the next sentence spoken by his interlocutor immediately made Jullian surprised and parroted his words.

"What's? Mrs Ratih died?"

He was still in shock to the point of not realizing the other figure in the room had already dashed out like a madman. The woman screamed loudly and ran out after knowing what she had just heard.

Jullian who had just realized the sudden departure of Arnetta immediately chased after the woman with all his might. However, I don't know what possessed the woman until she finally could not catch up to him running into the streets. Arnetta ran barefoot and screamed loudly and cried for her mother's name.

When he saw Rian's car still parked in front of his house, Jullian immediately approached him. Rian himself also looks surprised to see Arneta running out of Jullian's house.

"What's wrong with her?"

"He heard his mother died."
