Lies
There's No Hope

There is no secret that can be easily covered. Everything will be revealed at the right time. That is also the natural Kingdom. He felt that the current situation was no longer under control. His father brutally beat him. There was no place left, the entire body of the Kingdom had been beaten up by the father. Hands, back and legs. Maybe the legs can be covered, but the hands can not be hidden properly. As a result, Farraz also knew the wounds that had been trying to be hidden by Raya from anyone, especially from the lover.

Raya was able to avoid Farraz when the man asked about the blue bruises on his hands. The bruises he got while holding the father's punch were so barbaric. Especially this time the father was not just bluffing. Nor just empty hands. The broken broomstick bears witness to how cruelly the father treated his daughter. As a result, Raya's hand turned blue and felt so painful. Fortunately, Raya managed to escape from the man even though he had to sleep in his neighbor's house. No matter how bad the house is, still the room becomes the most comfortable place to live. In addition, the clothes and books are there that make Raya also have to miss the task given by the teacher to do at home.

This was a strong reason why Raya was not good at academic achievement, she never had time to study. Every day take care of his father who always makes a scene. When he entered High School, he also had to work after coming home from school by helping his neighbors. On the weekend, he had to work at a restaurant in the opposite village. Raya runs out of time with other things until she has no time to develop herself. Let alone to learn, just to rest only Kingdom can not. Just accompanying Farraz in basketball practice is how Raya enjoys her life. Maybe the young man didn't know, but for Raya, Farraz was everything, as a Kingdom place to let go of the daily fatigue.

After that incident, it was unexpected that Raya experienced even worse things. Her relationship with Farraz was so bad thanks to a request from the school that forced her to break up with the man. Raya had no problem with her, but she could see a huge disappointment emanating from the man's eyes. Especially when Farraz seemed very unacceptable with Raya's decision to separate. Just as Raya was also reluctant to stay away from Farraz, the man was always looking for a way to get close to her again.

Raya knows the effort, even when Farraz involves his friends in class. Raya had to be grateful because she did not have to bother to avoid because Farraz's friends were basically just lazy people. They just track the activities of Raya without knowing the truth. It was not his activity that Raya had hidden from Farraz, but about his father's bad deeds. Raya did not want the person Farraz told to spy on her to actually follow her home and meet her father. Then, he will see how Raya was tortured by her biological parents.

“You were told by Farraz, weren't you?” raya said when he caught Farraz's friend who was following him. Of course Raya knew because the young man's behavior was so suspicious. Plus Raya is also easy to recognize the foreign air around it. And during these few days, Raya always felt strange every time she came home from school as if someone was following her. It turned out that his guess was right because there were indeed people following him. Raya also approached the person without further ado at all.

That person could not dodge, but he could not escape either. “I-iya,”. What Farraz has to offer is tempting enough for him. The young man promised to help her in her lesson. Something that he could not ignore. “Just do what you want to do and ignore me.”

Ignoring the people who followed him was not something Raya wanted. He wants to solve his problems quickly so as not to cause new problems. “What does he want?”

“Nothing. He just wants to know your activities. If I get that information, he'll help me learn.”

Raya grinned. Truly typical of a Farraz, exploiting the weaknesses of others for his sake. “Alright, I'll help you. I'll give you information about my daily life, but please don't follow me again.”

******

“Really, this is nothing. I've been used to it, so you don't have to worry,” Raya said that day. The day Farraz asked Raya to take off her clothes in front of the young man. Again, Farraz did not want Raya to completely take off all her clothes or just try to pervert the girl. Farraz loved Raya, he loved her. But not in a bad context. He was so sincere about wanting to take care of his lover. That was why when he saw Raya was injured, her blood was like boiling. He was angry, but did not know how to break it.

“How can you say you're okay when you're hurt this bad?” Farraz said it again. This isn't the first time Farraz has expressed his emotions. Perhaps more than five times he said that his heart could not see the lover experiencing such severe persecution.

“You said that question earlier, Farraz. Do I have to answer it over and over again? This is not an important issue for me. Sooner or later, the wounds will dry on their own.” That is what Raya believed. The bleeding wound will quickly close and heal. Similarly, the bluish bruises that exist all over the body of the Kingdom that will easily fade. But there was only one that could not be lost in any way, namely the wound in his heart. What her father did was so imprinted in the mind of Raya and may have been ingrained in her subconscious.

So that every time he met the man, his great hope of getting rid of the source of the problem arose. He even hoped that one day a neighbor would tell him that the man had been found lifeless on the street. It doesn't matter if you don't have a father. He will even be grateful for that. If necessary, the truth can come quickly. For him, it is better not to have a father than to have a father who is a burden on his life. Although Raya also does not know if her life would be better if the father is gone. But there is at least one thing that Raya will not feel anymore, which is this painful torture.

“How about you just run away? Don't you have a place to escape?” ask Farraz. Had Raya wanted to escape, she was ready to help the girl. All the money he collected will be given to Raya sincerely. He needed that money more than he did. However, what Raya said instead shocked her.

“Where should I run away? Is there a better place than this? At least here I can solve my own problems. I simply endured my pain while continuing to hope that the man disappeared from before me. Perhaps with the love of the life-extracting angel or because of demonic possession. If he is lost, my life will improve,” said Raya desperately. Her fiery eyes filled with spirit, it looked empty now. Like someone who has no hope.

For whatever sake, Farraz never saw his lover like that. His heart was full and very painful. Farraz was eager to resolve the pain. But he was confused what to do. This is more about the lover's family.
