Possessive Love
Protects

"I ...."

"You need to know one thing. Aretha whom you call a cheap woman, this is my wife. The wife I legally marry according to law and religion. And if you want to know why I married her because of what, the answer is because I love her so much. I do not want to lose a good woman like her, so I married her immediately, and I need to reiterate once again, that I did because I was afraid to lose her, it's not that she's already pregnant out of wedlock like you said, is that clear enough?" obviously David at length while cutting Indira talk.

David seemed to raise the volume of his voice, as if deliberately wanting to announce it in front of the crowd. In addition, he also wants to restore the good name of Aretha who had been polluted because of the actions of Indira.

Apparently, David had known a lot of what Indira had said to his wife. The words of course he knew that could hurt his wife, and he could not let that happen, especially in front of his own eyes.

"Sa-sa-me ..," said Indira stammered.

"And one more thing! Please don't bother my wife again, for whatever reason! Because, I won't allow anyone who bullies my wife to breathe, including you!" he again cut off Indira's words.

Instantly Indira made it vibrate. Between nervousness and fear. In the presence of Aretha and her three companions, Indira looks gallant, but in front of David, she suddenly shrinks in fear.

There were several other visitors whispering about Indira, swearing at her. In fact, some call her a shameless girl. Although impressed whispering, still they can hear it, not least Indira who immediately made his face reddened.

Indira just huffed no response. Somehow he had to avenge David back then. David had really embarrassed him in front of the crowd. And he really doesn't accept that. However, he also lacked the ability and courage to avenge the man.

He was not aware of what he had done to Aretha before. He had also put David's wife to shame, and perhaps it was a fitting reply for a woman as outgoing as he was.

While the three companions of Aretha seemed to be cheering in the heart. Feeling happy because he saw Indira who easily shrunk, when he heard the mouth of his boncab David Wijaya. Not to miss the various swearings they called in his heart.

Mucus!

Rasayn!

Eat it, it's delicious!

Such is the saying of the three friends of Aretha. If asked who was the happiest person above the suffering of Indira at that time, the answer is THEM!

"Why are you just silent? Is there anything less clear?" david asked without changing his gaze.

Again Indira just fell silent. He was trembling with fear. Instantly hot sweat dinging felt out from every pore of his body. He really made a dead flea, as if unable to wart, was only a strand of his hair.

"Oh, or maybe there's still something you want to tell my wife? I see, you were so incessantly berating my wife in front of the crowd, why just shut up now?" david later.

Still trembling, Indira tried to open her mouth with a neck that had been determined, as if it was no longer able to return David's gaze that was increasingly murderous. "Sa-me .. I'm sorry," she stammered.

David smiled bitterly at the girl's apology. He knows very well that people do not seem to be easy to apologize, unless he is pressed by a situation that makes him no longer able to do anything, and that is not sincere. So, should David just forgive her? Nah! Unfortunately, he is not a person who easily believes in bad people like Indira.

"Mas, stop! There is no point in serving people like him" Aretha said, trying to end the debate that has disturbed other visitors to the cafe.

"Sorry, is there a problem? Please don't make a fuss in this cafe!" said a man in a suit who is suspected to be the owner or manager of the cafe.

"I'm sorry, sir, we've made a fuss here" Aretha said.

"I hope you will no longer show your face in front of me, because I am not willing!" furious David.

"Alright, Mom! come on, let's go home!" take Aretha, then apologize again to the owner of the cafe.

After that, they moved from their place, while Indira was still in her place.

"Hows it? Favors, right?" timpal Deasy stared cynically.

Unlike the more relaxed Tania. He patted Indira's shoulder slowly. "Ngeyel is a person, try to hear what I said, maybe it will not be like this, I'm so happy to see it," he said more to the satirical tone with the end of a bitter smile on his face.

Again Indira could not reply. He was stunned for a while there, after their departure, until a woman came to him who was none other than Freya, former David.

"Dir," call the woman.

Indira flinched, then turned to the source of the voice. "Sister?" said it.

"Why you?" ask Freya.

Without any reply from Indira, he immediately hugged Freya and cried in the woman's arms, without shame. He was also embarrassed when he was humiliated by David.

***

Along the way, Aretha was only speechless with a facial expression that of course still looked annoyed. He seemed to throw his face out the car window. David glanced at him occasionally.

"Honey, yes .. don't think about it anymore," said David as he stroked the head of Aretha, making the woman turn with her pouting face.

"Already! No need to think, you are not that kind of woman!" david said again.

"So I'm hurt, Mom!" upset Aretha.

How furious he was, when Indira called him by the name of the curse. She wanted to pull her hair at that moment. However, of course he could not do that, and that made him even more furious.

"I know, who wouldn't be hurt if you said that?" david said understandingly, with a focused view forward. "But it doesn't have to be that way, does it have to be her expression? Ye know? I feel more guilty.

"Lho, why is that?" ask Aretha.

"When however I ask you to marry me in the near future, if only I were a little patient, maybe ...."

"Alright, Mom! No need to blame yourself! it's been a commitment of both of us, so why blame each other" said Aretha.

David looked over for a moment, then smiled. "I'm sorry, honey," he said without a response from Aretha. They went back silent for a moment

"Mas, thank you, for standing up for me in front of the crowd. I was so ashamed, Mas" said Aretha.

"No need to thank you, protecting you is one of my duties" David replied as he stroked Aretha's cheek.
