TMS EPS 27: BETTER TO DIE THAN TO LET GO

"Why is it like this, Syma?" said the middle-aged woman who served as a janitor at the As-Safaat orphanage.

Her name is Deriya. His arrival was accompanied by Aina. They looked at Syma and Zea there.

"Something seems to have set me up on purpose, Auntie." Syma said slowly. A sadness was clearly visible on his face.

"Who would do this to you? I curse whoever that man is Syma ! May Allah give him a proper recompense ", said Aunt Deriya who began to sob.

"Already Aunt. This is a test for us, just pray that we can get out soon. And the truth will soon be revealed,"

"Where is your husband? Does he think you did it too?"

Syma. Although it was true that Ersad did not believe him either. But Syma does not want her husband's reputation to seem evil in the eyes of Deriya.

"Why silence? Is that right, Syma?" Teriya seemed impatient with the answer this time.

"He's just worried, Auntie. His mind is fucked. He just lost, and I understand that. He can't yet see what's right and what's wrong" Syma said as gently as possible. As much as he can make Deriya's anger muffle.

"I know exactly who you are Syma. Whenever there's a problem you always cover your husband's disgrace. I know a long time ago as to where you did the same thing with Revan.

And this time, I won't shut up again.

Why Syma? Why do you always hide the ugliness of your husband?"

"Because when I've forgiven her, not necessarily Auntie can forgive her." Syma smiled wryly as she remembered it.

"You're too naive, Syma.." Deriya's gaze now turned to Zea who was playing with Aina. "I'll take Zea with me. He can't be in a place like this Syma."

"Alright Aunt Deriya, thanks for that,"

When the visitation time is up. Aunt Deriya and Aina left immediately. Though too reluctant for them to move on from there. But they can't do anything.

Not to forget they also brought Zea. Zea cried because she didn't want to be away from her mother. But Deriya and Aina did not give up on persuading the little boy, until eventually Zea wanted to go with Deriya and Aina.

Leaving Syma alone there.

******

As per their plan. Syma began to get ready when the food at the table was about to move downstairs.

His eyes caught the two prisoners who looked impatient with the food.

"HEY....

YOU BETTER TAKE THAT FOOD ENOUGH. KEEP THE FOOD CLEAN. DON'T BE GREEDY AND THINK ABOUT YOUR OWN STOMACH!! THINK OF THE PRISONER ON THE BOTTOM FLOOR."

Syma shouted trying to warn the prisoner. But instead of listening, they raised their middle fingers. While eating with greed.

"ARE YOU DEAF! EAT ENOUGH AND STOP MESSING AROUND WITH SUCH FOOD. "Said the woman who was in custody with Syma. But instead of listening, they throw with the food itself. So the more messy the food.

"I told you this was just a waste. No one will listen to us,"

Syma seemed to think for a moment. Then back to screaming.

"LISTEN...

IF YOU DON'T DO WHAT WE SAY. THEN TOMORROW WHEN THE FOOD COMES, WE'LL PUT OUR SHIT THERE.

TOMORROW YOU'LL EAT THE SHIT!"

Both prisoners below stopped their actions. Staring at Syma with hatred.

"Bad! Damn woman....

"That's why I want to start now that we think about each other. If it doesn't start with us, then who else? Those below will definitely do the same when moving upstairs.

If this plan works, then when you're downstairs, you won't go hungry" Syma said.

They're speechless. And look at each other.

Although there was a dispute, they finally agreed and did the same to the prisoners who were under them. With the same threat, of course.

While the woman who was in one room with Syma, looked at him full of admiration. But his mouth was too loud to say it all.

He was convinced that Syma's presence had a good influence in the holding cell.

'May Allah grant all your prayers... '

Meanwhile, on the other side....

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING, NORA? WHY DID YOU LET SYMA GET ARRESTED... "

Ersad was so angry that everything in Nora's apartment he destroyed. Everything that happened made him so frustrated. Because of his weakness he is unable to do anything. To prevent Nora's actions.

"What should I do other than do that? That woman deserves it...

It was a punishment worthy of him" said Nora, not the slightest fear of Ersad's anger.

"STUPID!

If you put him in jail, it's the same way you gave him a great chance to go free. One day he will be released. If so, what do you think is worth it? Huhhhhh... "

Nora was silent for a moment. Digesting every speech Ersad. He smiled happily of course. When I realized Ersad was not worried about Syma. But wanting to punish him was more terrible than that.

"Then what is the solution, brother? Is Big Brother going to make that woman a crocodile food? Or sell it at a brothel. I don't think it's a bad idea" said Nora, who can't wait to see Syma's suffering.

"Your mind is too short, Nora...

Why do we get people to torture him, if we can do it ourselves.... "

Again a cruel grin was engraved on Nora's face hearing Ersad's words.

"So you mean, Brother, I have to drop that charge so we can torture him like that?"

"Really....

I want you to drop that lawsuit immediately. For any other business, leave it to me" said Ersad coldly. His words alone were already so horrible. Especially if he really did.

Nora nodded in agreement with Ersad's decision. He likes it the most if he gets the torture part. Especially that person is Syma. The woman he had hated since the beginning of their meeting. For having dared to approach his sister-in-law.

"All right then. I'll do it, brother. Whatever I will do for you. "he said staring at Ersad with a seductive grin.

Nora just wanted to get close to him. Ersad had already left Nora's apartment. With the feeling raging inside him.

Seeing that made Nora turn her expression flat.

'One day I will succeed in telling you, brother. As hard as you want to avoid me, so hard as that I will approach you.

I'd rather die, than have to let you go with another woman' Nora murmured as she stared at Ersad's slowly disappearing departure.

SERIATE.......
