Married to the Arrogant Mafia
78. BITTER REALITY

FLASHBACKS

***

Katerina and Zahra are making a cake. Zahra is in charge of making the cake batter while Katerina cuts the wine for her topping later. Both are busy with their duties.

"Kate, what was your fight over trouble, Irene yesterday?" ask Zahra suddenly. He kept thinking about Zyano's words. If it was for that reason Zahra would feel very guilty.

Tak

"Oh," Katerina reflexively squealed as her index finger was unintentionally scratched in shock at Zahra's question. Fresh blood slowly came out from his index finger.

"Jeez, Kate. Your finger is hurt." cried Zahra no less screech. He immediately grabbed Katerina's hand to look at her wound. Zahra's face looked very panicked. How not? his blood is flowing.

"I'm okay, mom. It's just an ordinary wound." Katerina didn't want to worry Zahra.

"No papa how. The wound's deep enough, Kate!" said Zahra grimacing.

"Ella." call Zahra out.

"Yes, lady for a minute."

"Geez, that's a long-time kid." decak Zahra grumbled in annoyance. He demanded that Katerina sit in one of the chairs in the kitchen. Not long after, Ella came in with a dull face.

"What's up, madam?" ask Ella. Ella's eyes widened when she accidentally saw Katerina's index finger spitting blood.

"Geez, young mistress is hurt." her screeches in shock.

"Take him a quick red drug!" ask Zahra.

"B-good, madam. Just a minute." Ella hurriedly took the red medicine stored in the closet. He also took a basin filled with water and bandages to bandage his wounds.

"Here, madam."

"Kate, if it hurts just say yes?" zahra began to treat his wounds.

First Zahra washed his blood with clean water. Then, Zahra applied the red medicine bit by bit to the injured area. Katerina bit her lower lip withstanding the pain and soreness at the same time.

"Hold it, Kate. It's a little painful" Zahra said, applying the red medicine slowly because the wound was deep enough.

"Yes, mom." said Katerina smiling.

"Geez, that must have hurt a lot huh, young mistress?" asked Ella, biting her fingertips, she felt pain.

Katerina chuckles amusedly. "Not really. It's just a little sore."

"Madam, young don't have to be strong-witted. Let's hold hands, Ella so that the pain is not so pronounced." said Ella grasping Katerina's uninjured right hand.

"Lebay you, Ella." sneered Zahra.

"Ish, it's not lebay, ma'am!" ella denied pursing her lips.

"Yes, it's up to you." Zahra was lazy to serve one of his maids. Ella's age is still young. She was 17 years old so her behavior was still quite childish. He was the son of the butler in the main mansion. However, thanks to his behavior, Zahra was also sometimes comforted. He felt like he had another child.

While Katerina only laughed a little because she felt funny with Ella's attitude.

"Well, it's done" Zahra clapped her hands when she saw Katerina's wound covered in bandages.

"Yey, the wound's covered." Shouted Ella in excitement.

"Huh, thank goodness." Zahra breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes already, let's continue to make her cake mom." asked Katerina.

Unexpectedly Zahra held Katerina's hand. "No, Kate! Your hand is hurt. So, it's good that you just take a break. Let mom and Ella make the cake."

"But mom...."

"Just follow mom's words!" zahra is indisputable.

Katerina's shoulders slumped. "Yes, mom but I can still see from here, right?" pinta Katerina's.

"No! You should rest in your room!" Zahra.

"But mom, I want to see you guys make her cake. I promise I won't bother you."

"But, Kate."

"Please, mom." said Katerina pleaded with her flagship puppy eyes.

"All right, madam. After all, Ella also wanted to show the young mistress that, Ella is good at making cakes." Ella seemed excited.

"Ella, jago bake a cake?" ask Katerina.

"Yes, young lady. Even Mr. Zeano was very fond of artificial cakes, Ella." replied Ella to boast of herself.

"really?"

"Yes, young lady. Ella is sure that later the young mistress will love artificial cakes, Ella." said Ella confidently.

"Here, the boy's overconfidence is no good." Zahra sneered.

"Well, then I can't wait to taste the homemade cake, Ella. Can you, mom?" asked Katerina looking at Zahra.

Zahra breathed a heavy sigh. "Alright, but you can just sit there! If you feel tired and not feeling well, say it to mom! Don't hold back, okay?" zahra Pinta.

"Yes, mom."

Zahra starts making cookies back while being helped by Ella. The boy turned out to be quite agile even looking very skilled at stirring the dough. Katerina and Zahra were amazed by him. It doesn't take long for the dough to finish. Then, Ella put her in the oven. While waiting for the cake to ripen they talked.

"Well, Ella turns out you're really great" Katerina said in praise.

"Of course." replies Ella proudly.

"Cih, his pride is starting to crumble again" said Zahra screeched.

"Ella, do you make cakes often?" ask Katerina.

"Yes, young lady. As a child, Ella loved to eat cakes. So Ella learned from mom and until now Ella has been used to making cakes."

"What a great deal." said Katerina.

Ella smiled happily at Katerina's praise. It was not in vain that he learned to make cakes all this time.

Ting

After a long wait, the cake finally ripened. Once removed from the oven smelled a pleasant fragrant smell. The three of them were stunned when they saw the mouth-watering looking cake on the tongue. Topping the melted wine and the juicy cake so cut.

"Let's eat." said Ella.

Katerina could not wait to taste it. He also directly took her. His eyes instantly sparkled as the cake tasted on his tongue. Really delicious. Moreover, the taste of the melted wine was very indulgent to the tongue. Zahra also did not expect that the cake would be this delicious. He didn't even realize he had eaten two pieces of cake. So delicious.

"It's the best cake I've ever tried, mom." said Katerina.

"Yes, you're right, Kate. It tastes so special."

"Especially the taste of melted wine is very suitable for the cake." said Katerina agreed.

"Amazing blend. Ella, the cake is so good." said Zahra unmitigatedly praised.

Ella cengennesan's. "Hehehe, it's good that the lady likes it. Ella's so happy."

"Ella, you better open a cake shop. I'm sure many will buy later." said Zahra suggested.

"Ella, he also wants it, madam but the capital is not enough" Ella said sadly.

"You take it easy, Ella. About capital I can help you. The important thing is that you have the intention first." said Zahra.

"really? Madam wanna help, Ella?" ask with sparkling eyes.

"Yes, as long as you want to make me another cake later" Zahra replied casually.

"All right, I'll wait."

"Ready." Ella was so happy that Zahra was willing to help her. His dream of opening a cake shop was finally achieved. This is beyond her expectations. Katerina was also happy to hear that.

"Had my husband really liked your cake" Zahra finally noticed. He never tasted the cake made by Ella. Zahra did not know.

"Hehe." Ella just chuckled.

Deg

Katerina. His head suddenly throbbed dizzy. His body suddenly went limp and almost fell if Zahra did not hold it.

"Kate, what's wrong with you?" ask Zahra worried.

"I-I'm not papa, mom." Katerina held her head. His sight began to blur. Cold sweat also drenched his temples.

"This must be a side effect of the drug" Katerina said in her heart. "I have to go to the room before I pass out here."

Katerina forgot one important thing. After taking a sedative, the side effect is that he will be asleep for about three hours.

"Ella, please call Budi. Get him here as soon as possible!" zahra's orders.

"Good, madam." Ella nodded her head in understanding and rushed off to look for Budi.

"Kate, can you still walk?" ask Zahra.

Katerina did not really hear Zahra's words. His eyes feel heavy. He was also very sleepy and could not help it anymore.

Brucks

Katerina collapsed unconscious on the floor. At the same time Budi also came with Ella. They rushed to Zahra and helped her get Katerina into her room. They threw Katerina into the bed.

"Budi, call Zyano. Tell his wife to faint!" ask Zahra.

"Good, madam." I nodded and then left.

"Ella, can you please call the doctor, Reza?" zahra Pinta.

"Can, wait a minute, madam." said Ella immediately left.

After the two left, Zahra was left there. He sat down beside Katerina while stroking her head gently.

"Jeez, Kate. What the hell is going on with you?" muttered Zahra worriedly looking at Katerina who had suddenly fainted like this. When Zahra wanted to justify Katerina's pillow she accidentally found a small bottle containing medicine.

"What medicine is this?" ask Zahra astonished. He was researching the drug up close. There is no information about the drug because the stamp is no longer there. So for now Zahra could not figure out what the cure was.

BRACKET

Door opens rough. Zyano walked in with a worried face. He panicked when he heard that his wife had fainted. Without a second thought Zyano rushed straight to his room. And finally he saw his wife lying weakly unconscious.

"Mom, what's going on? Why, Katerina could faint like this?" zyano looked at his mother for an explanation.

Not yet had time to answer Zyano's question suddenly Reza's doctor came.

"I'm sorry I'm late, ma'am." said Reza.

"No papa, hurry up and check on Katerina!" tell Zahra to worry.

"Good, madam." Reza immediately checked on Katerina. It started with his pulse and then his heartbeat. However, Reza's eyebrows furrowed. He confirmed his conjecture again by checking Katerina's closed eyes.

"Hows it? What happened to my wife?" ask Zyano seriously.

"Any." muttered Reza but it could still be heard.

"What's so weird?" asked Zyano astonished to see Reza's reaction that looked confused.

"After I checked things out, Miss Katerina she's fine. There's no problem whatsoever and instead he's sleeping well right now" Reza said, leaving everyone confused.

"Sleep? But didn't he faint?" asked Zahra astonished.

"What does that mean?" zyano did not understand Reza's words.

Reza stood up straight staring at all the members of the Brawitama family. "So, look, sir, madam. I've checked the state of the madam, Katerina but she's fine. His pulse was normal, his heartbeat was normal as well and his body temperature was also normal. So, you can be sure there's no problem whatsoever with the madam, Katerina."

"But why did he suddenly faint?" ask Zahra confused.

"Hm, the matter according to my estimation seems like madam, Katerina has finished taking sleeping pills and the effect is felt now. He did not faint but fell asleep because he could not withstand the effects of the medicine anymore. Hence the current madam, Katerina can fall asleep like this" Reza explained.

"Sleeping pills?" ask Zyano.

"Well, that's the way it is" Reza said.

"Is this what you mean, Reza?" zahra asked directly to show the medicine she found earlier.

"That's the drug you took this morning, Katerina?" muttered Zyano remembered when he saw Katerina taking the medicine. But she also remembered that Katerina said it was a vitamin. Did Katerina lie? thought Zyano.

"Where did you get that baby?" asked Zeano looking at his wife.

"Under Katerina's pillow." she replied.

"Is this really a sleeping pill? But why, did Katerina consume it?" ask Zahra to Reza.

"Let me take a look at the cure, ma'am." said Reza. He began to research the capsule.

"What medicine is that, Reza? Is that really a sleeping pill?" zyano asked, starting to get curious.

"This is Benzodiazepine, a sedative for people with anxiety disorders or commonly called panic attack. Someone who has an anxiety disorder needs this drug to relax himself. Apart from the risks, this drug is relatively safe and effective to relieve anxiety with low levels" said Reza.

"What did you say? Anxiety?"

"Well, sir. Looks like madam, Katerina is suffering from an anxiety disorder. This can be triggered by past events that might make him depressed so that he is easily worried, anxious and anxious in some ways. So at that time the madam will definitely take this drug." said Reza.

"Depression?" muttered Zahra in shock hearing her as well as Zyano. He never expected that his wife suffered from anxiety disorder because Katerina had always looked fine.

"Yes, ma'am, but you all take it easy. I suspect that madam's depression, Katerina is mild. Because the drugs consumed are also classified as mild. It's just that this drug is not good if too often consumed. For that we must make her happy more often and forget the pain. Because it can trigger the emergence of panic attacks again."

"But, Katerina's fine, right?" ask Zyano.

"For the moment he's fine. So, there's nothing to worry about" Reza said, making everyone relieved to hear.

"Thank God." said Zahra sighing in relief.

"Yes, if you'll excuse me. We'll let madam, Katerina rest until the medicinal effects are gone" Reza said.

"Well, you're right. Then mom same Dad out first huh, Zyan."

"Yes, mom."

After everything is out of the room. Only Zyano is left. He threw himself beside Katerina. His right hand was used as a pedestal for him while his left hand stroked Katerina's face. Zyano looked at the peaceful face of his sleeping wife.

"Kate, why didn't you ever tell me about this? What have they been doing to you until you're depressed like this?" asked Zyano smiling bitterly. He felt like an impudent husband.

"Sorry baby, I don't know anything you're going through. But I will never be able to forgive those who have hurt you. I'll make sure they suffer more than you feel, Kate." Zyano said.
