Don't Say Love (BOOK 2)
Chapter 34

"Sir, open! We know you've been hiding a woman who's not your wife !"

The two people immediately looked at the horror at the door of the house that was still tightly closed. They believe something bad is waiting for them out there. The sound of many people asking them to open the door of the house.

"I think they're in need of an explanation, Reva."

Arnetta instantly felt his entire body tremble violently. His body was as if it had just been doused in cold water. Stiffness that creeps up to make it vibrate violently. Even to just say the words of Patrick was not able to. His entire body, including his tongue, was shaking violently. He could clearly remember the last time he got that shout when he was ...

"******, damn it!"

"Dirty woman! Rubbish!"

"T-No." Arnetta involuntarily muttered the words he had said as those insults echoed in his head like a roaring cry. His hands moved without the order to close his ears against the words that ringed in his head. 

Patrick realized that the body of the woman in front of him was shaking violently. He looked worriedly at the woman named Reva. He also wanted to calm her down by bringing the woman into his arms was impossible. 

"City ..."

The woman no longer responded to the call directed at her. His body was too limp and trembled violently between the insults and words that continued to resonate in his head as if he was yelling at him loudly. Unknowingly, he immediately fell to the floor while still covering both ears. She's terrified. It was as if he could see the shadow figure coming and roughed up again. The black shadow that made her would definitely cry and bow down in fear. 

Seeing that, Patrick panicked. He squatted in front of the woman and tried to shake her shoulders, hoping that she would be able to wake the woman from her subconscious delusion. 

"Reva, relax!"

The woman instead of answering, instead immediately shook her head while sobbing in her cries. 

"No! I'm dirty! I'm ******!" He said with a trembling voice. 

Maybe this time Patrick had to put aside the norm that he could not embrace the tiny body. Now it is not manners that he must forward, but the woman who is in front of him does need help. Quickly, Arnetta was already in his arms. His body was now very close to him.

'Damn it! My heart is pounding very fast, ' Patrick said in his heart.

Leaving aside the fact that he already knew that the woman in his arms was two-bodied, Patrick still could not shake the feeling that began to grow in his heart. In fact, the feeling of wanting to protect was getting on his chest so that all night yesterday he had thought of marrying this woman alone. Of course that crazy thought would definitely be rejected by Reva. Who is this self. Only a foreign man just happened to stop by and help the woman escape her suffering.

At least Patrick knew he had to know a little more to shift his position in Reva's life. This woman is not necessarily willing to accept her proposal. Therefore, Patrick will try to be the only person who will be on Reva's side no matter what.

Slowly, Patrick stroked the woman's hair gently while whispering words like a spell that instantly made Reva calm little by little. The woman's body no longer trembled like that.

"You're gonna be okay, Reva. I'm here." whispered softly right next to Reva's earlobe.

With great care, Patrick carried Reva to the bedroom he had given her. Throughout his steps Patrick could not take his eyes off Reva's face. In a state of unconsciousness in her eyes Reva was still the most beautiful of all the women she had ever met. Plus the pain behind his condition makes Patrick can no longer shake his feelings.

Either this feeling of love or just pity because of the condition of Reva which is almost the same as his late sister. What is clear until this moment is that Patrick is aware that he is attracted to the woman he is carrying.

Arriving in Patrick's room lowered the woman very carefully. It was as if he would crumble the woman's body if a slight shock were to occur. Not to forget the man covered Reva so that the woman did not get cold.

After he finished moving Reva to his room, he did not just leave. For a moment Patrick sat on the bed where Reva was closed. Lamat, he noticed the woman's peaceful face. His heart still felt pinched by the fact that the emotional shock experienced by Reva was so great that it traumatized him. About who the man who could make this woman's life so ruined like this. Reva seemed to no longer have the spirit of life as the shock approached her.

"What happened to you, Reva? who could hurt you this badly ?" he muttered as he continued to observe Reva's peaceful face that was still closed.

***

Apparently long in the room with Reva makes Patrick forget that there is something he needs to finish. More precisely a group of people who were still shouting outside his house. Yes, the moment with Reva made her ears suddenly deaf. It was as if he was in a dimension that silenced other voices besides himself and the woman. The man immediately walked towards the front door where everyone he knew as his neighbors crowded in. One by one he noticed the faces of the elders in the place where he lived looking at him seriously.

"Sir, I'm sorry we've been slow to interrupt your night. But, there is one thing we need to make sure of here. Don't get a misunderstanding." said one of the fathers who was among the crowd.

Patrick wants to laugh. He rarely socialized with his neighbors around him, most only with his side and across from his house in this complex. But he really could not guess if his neighbor would be this cute.

Apologizing for being so rude ? It is too close that sassy word that almost makes a woman shaken again her emotions to trauma. It would have felt like Patrick was beating up one by one this old man in front of him if not to consider that these people were old men.

Patrick as much as possible normalizes his emotional voice does not reach the ears of these people.

"I accept your apologies. But this greatly interfered with my rest. I think there are still more polite ways to clarify things. It could be sitting together without a high voice. I would very kindly welcome him rather than having to scream as if I were a criminal." said Patrick with a slightly sharpened word.

Some people there immediately fell silent when they realized that Patrick's words seemed to insinuate their behavior tonight.

"But we're just making sure who's the new guy who lives in his house, son ? Because if that person doesn't have a clear relationship, then he's entitled to leave here."

If only Patrick could not control his emotions, maybe he could hit the thick-moustached man who Reva had just addressed as an obscure person. Patience soon, that's the word he recited in his heart.

"Yes, right. We do not want anything bad to happen in the area where we live" said one by one there while modestly guaranteeing the speech of the mustache man earlier.

And this time alone Patrick wants God to take the lives of many people. Yes, the life of this old man. However, he knew that Reva's status had to be clarified. He could not make the position of the woman to be bad in the eyes of people, even though Patrick did not care about it at all. But, the condition of Reva who is two-bodied will definitely be very fragile.

With a single deep breath, Patrick would end this group of old men. And maybe the answer will create new problems in his life.

"The woman's name is Reva. The wife I married religiously and just picked up from my in-laws' house. We are now waiting for our first child."
