The Woman in the Adjutant's Heart
Chapter 27
Dinner came, no Acha served dinner. Acha is still in deep sorrow. Now he really is a kara. A very painful loss.
Acha read Yasin's letter with tears in her eyes, all feeling very lonely. No one was accompanying him at this time. People in this house were crowded but, no one cared about each other.
Especially now, they were afraid of being close to Acha. Fear of becoming the next Adeline victim.
Three days passed, there was no such idea in the village, only Acha who sent prayers every time he finished praying.
Today Acha wants to say goodbye, he wants to stop working here. This house has already given her bitter memories. However, for the umpteenth time Acha could not stop from this house. All because of Adeline. This time he reasoned that Acha would be used as a baby sitter for his son who would soon be born.
Adeline's current gestational age has entered five months without knowing who the father of the child she was carrying.
"Which religion, Del?" asked Mr. Malvyn in the dining room.
"Sister El is not feeling well anymore he said. So he's resting in the room" Adeline said.
Acha was actually surprised to hear that Eligius was ill but, he should be able to act ordinary.
"Cha, prepare breakfast for Brother El, let me take it to the room!" tell Adeline.
"Why Acha? He's your husband" Buk Venita protested. "From the beginning of marriage until now have never seen Mami take care of your husband."
"Yes, this is Acha deh, Mi. Let her feel also how to take care of the husband even in delusion," despicable Adeline was greeted with laughter.
"Sorry, Buk. I'm going to the kitchen first." Acha shies away from the unhealthy Adeline conversation.
Acha put the tray on the table while taking a breath. He can't stand this house anymore. Not because of Adeline's rude attitude but, more to her overly sensitive heart. He feels unconscious. I don't know when that feeling came about.
"Acha quickly prepare breakfast for Brother El!" adeline's word from the kitchen door.
Adeline is doing her job as usual. After that he handed over the tray containing breakfast to Adeline. De.gan the cruel face of Adeline received it.
***
Acha really can't stand being in this house anymore, a lot of things he saw, the crimes of Mr. Malvyn planned in this house, very contrary to the courses he took.
A law scholar, letting something very unlawful happen before his eyes.
In the room, Acha cleaned her clothes that were not much, she wanted to escape through the back door when the atmosphere of the house was quiet. At three o'clock in the morning Acha peeked out of the window of her room, looking around, if there were no more house guards patrolling she would infiltrate the house.
Acha sneaks into the back garden, without her knowing eligius saw her from the balcony of the room. Now Adeline's room is also Eligius' room. Seeing the acha trying to escape through the back door, Eligius immediately followed to the back garden. He left the house immediately without making a sound. When he arrived in the backyard, it turned out that Acha had managed to get out.
Not staying silent, Eligius again ran after Acha. He was sure, Acha was not far away. Sure enough, Acha was still at the end of the road, it seemed like he was confused about where he was going in the morning like this.
"It's me, Brother El" whispered Eligius as he continued to hold Acha's head in his arms. "Where are you going?" eligius again.
"Acha want to get out of that house. What do you keep anymore? Neither does she, sister." Acha wept in Eligius' arms.
"Don't you go, Cha! If you leave, I can't take care of you anymore" Eligius said.
Acha tried hard to let go of Eligius' embrace. Finally, Eligius realized that Acha really wanted to go away. With a heavy heart, Eligius let go of the embrace. Last hug for Acha. Without many words, Acha turned back and ran without a trace of him looking back until his shadow was lost in the dark of night.
Eligius took a breath, his chest felt very tight, like there was a great Godam hitting. Be ill. He felt pain in his chest. Eligius decided to return to the palace house after he was sure that Acha would never return.
At the end of the street, Acha threw away the phone number she had. Replacing with a new number that he had prepared. Acha wanted to bury all her past memories. He had to go far away because he didn't want to be found by Mr. Malvyn's men.
Mr. Malvyn who has a black world business certainly does not want Acha out of his house, it could be that it would threaten the continuity of his business if one day Acha opened his voice to law enforcement because Acha was the strongest witness, from a small he saw various transactions in the house.
Mr. Malvyn's initial goal was to finance Acha's studies at the law school, to prepare Acha as their family's lawyer.
Acha can't go back to the village. In the village there are also painful memories and of course it is the main place that will people Mr. Malvyn look for.
He has to go somewhere. He cannot trouble Eligius if he is caught.
While at the palace house, when Eligius climbed the stairs, he heard the sound of a car coming into the courtyard. Turns out it was Adeline's car that just came home at her early morning from leaving this afternoon.
"Not sleeping yet?" greet Adeline as she sees Eligius waiting in front of the stairs.
"Where are you from?" ask Eligius without answering his wife's question.
"Bored at home." Adeline passed by Eligius and went up the stairs to her room.
Eligius did not catch up, he chose to sit in the living room. He tried to contact Acha. But nothing is active anymore. The WA number is no longer active.
"Fresh heart is open, already disappointed again," murmured Eligius in heart.
There was a sound of Adzan's voice, it turned out that somehow hours Eligius sat pensively on the sofa. Eligius soon rose to take ablution water. Getting back to God is probably the best way. For all that he has gone through all the destiny of God that must be lived.
In the morning, one house is rowdy because they just found out that Acha is no longer home.
Adeline glanced at Eligius who was sitting next to her.
"Do you know Acha's gone?" adeline whispered.
"Isn't that what you want?" eligius Sahut.
"really. So I can have you all."
Hearing Adeline's words, Eligius just laughed cynically.
