It was almost nine o'clock at night when Axell arrived home. Emily was still in front of the TV, wearing a shirt that lacked material. Peter glanced at Emily several times before entering his room."Where did you buy it?" asked Emily ignorantly."Near the factory, there are many who sell it.""Hem, I don't like street food!" Emily replied curtly."Why?""It's not delicious.""Okay, it's okay if you don't want it. But until when? You look around here; this is a dumping ground. Where you have to travel for about four hours to reach the city and buy the food you're talking about.""And it's not every day that someone goes to town either," Axell continued."I have a car.""Whatever you want," Axell said as he carried the box of martabak back and placed it on the dining table.Axell climbed the stairs to his room, which Inah had cleaned, and his study.Loosening his tie and opening the window, he let the night breeze into his room. Axell breathed in the night breeze, calming his heart a li
Axell was still standing on the balcony, looking around. Only a few houses seemed to have lights on to illuminate this complex; others only had dim lights in front of the house, indicating that the house was uninhabited.Without feeling the time showing midnight, Axell was still standing in his place. Don't know how many cigarettes he has smoked. Until now, Axell had started coughing; maybe he had swallowed too much smoke.Finally, Axell chose to enter to immediately rest his body. Looking at the white sky of the room and hypnotizing Axell, he immediately fell asleep.Meanwhile, in her room, Emily could not close her eyes. She cursed Peter, who had abused her. In the past, Emily often invited Peter to accompany her when she was feeling down.The dazzling morning sunlight made Axell wake up. The sun had shone through his room because the windows and curtains were not closed. Axell immediately checked the clock on his wall; it was still seven in the morning. Even though he had overslept
"I know, sir," Reny answered casually, sitting close to Axell."Don't tease me if you already know Ren; you'll regret it," warned Axell."What's wrong with it, sir?" said Reny, frowning."I appreciate my wife.""No need to be hypocritical, sir. You married Mr. Mattew's daughter because you had to, right? And she doesn't love you either, right?" Reny replied irritably.Don't know what's wrong with this woman; she doesn't seem to like it when Axell mentions his wife."Whether we love it or not, it's clear that we are married," answered Axell, still closing his eyes."I can give you what she can't, sir," said Reny, holding Axell's cheek.Axell a little roughly brushed Reny's hand away, making the woman feel very annoyed."And you need to know that I am nobody and have nothing. All of this belongs to my wife's parents. So, don't try to tempt me!" Axell stared sharply at Reny.Axell went to his desk past Reny, who was disappointed at being rejected. This is the first time someone has rejec
"You're sick," Axell said later.Axell alertly guided Emily to the side of the road where there was a seat and gave Emily a bottle of mineral water, which was always available in his car."Drink first," said Axell, handing him the mineral water he had opened.Emily received the water and then drank half the bottle."I can't stand the smell," Emily said later."Well, let's just look for a minimarket," said Axell.Finally, the two of them got back into the car to look for a minimarket. However, after they were satisfied with wandering around until dusk became dark, they didn't find any minimarkets; there were only a few quite large shops, but when sunset arrived, everything closed at once.Emily just sighed at how bleak her life was now after being exiled by her own father."Just go home," Emily muttered quietly.Axell just nodded and glanced briefly at his wife, who looked disappointed."This is the reason why I can't let you go alone," said Axell, glancing at his wife."This place is
Axell was silent when he heard Inah's question. He himself wasn't sure about his feelings or whether he really loved someone like Emily, who used to sell his body. All this time, it had never occurred to him to love someone like Emily. However, for some reason, his heart sometimes warmed when Emily was kind to him.However, Axell immediately dismissed all of this; he was self-conscious because Emily never loved him in the slightest."Didn't Emily have a boyfriend?" Axell asked Inah."As far as I know, before she was found out, she was pregnant, but after that, he never came home again until now," answered Inah."What is their style of dating?" Axell asked probingly."Yes, that's how it is; sometimes they date in the room from morning until evening; if it comes at night, they stay in the room until morning," answered Inah."Doesn't Mr. Mattew know?" Axell asked in surprise."Mr. and Mrs. Mattew never pay attention to Emily; they only have to eat breakfast together, and the rest they do
"It's like someone is watching," muttered Axell. Axell went out onto the main road and looked around, looking for the suspicious man, but the man had actually disappeared somewhere. Axell thought for a moment, then took all the toys he had bought earlier and went into the orphanage to meet his younger siblings. "Hello everyone," said Axell when he saw his younger siblings gathered in the living room, busy playing. "Brother Axell." All the children who were busy playing immediately ran to welcome Axell's arrival, especially when they saw Axell coming with lots of toys for them. "How is everyone?" “Fine!” they shouted in unison. A few moments later, Axell was so caught up in the excitement of playing with his younger siblings that he got tired and fell asleep at the orphanage. After lunch, Axell said goodbye to Mrs. Ania and went home. Because he was passing through town, Axell went back to buy some of Emily's favorite foods, which he couldn't find around his house. Axell als
Tut. Tut. Axell continued to hear the beeping of the call without anyone getting an answer. Axell was getting more and more angry until he forgot the reason he had come down earlier: to meet Emily in her room. Tut. "Hello," answered Mrs. Ania's voice on the other side. Finally, Axell called Mrs. Ania, and her mother answered immediately. “Hello, mom. And everything is okay, right?” Axell asked. "Yes, you saw for yourself that we were all healthy and fine. What's wrong?" asked Mrs. Ania. "Did a stranger stop by at the orphanage earlier, mom?” Axell asked. "There aren't any." "An unknown buyer, for example?” Axell asked again. "We don't all know the buyers at that stall; it's also called a stall on the side of the road," answered Mrs. Ania calmly. "Okay then, mom." "What is it?" asked Mrs. Ania curiously. "It's okay, mom; I'll hang up the phone, mom," said Axell. Tut. Call ended. Axell breathed a sigh of relief when he made sure that his mother and all her family were
Emily was already holding the cutter in her hand, looking at Axell, who was sleeping. Emily was silent for a long time, looking at Axell and cutter alternately. At that time, Axell stretched, and Emily swiftly hid the cutter behind her body.It turned out that Axell didn't wake up; he just changed his sleeping position. Cutter was still in Emily's grasp; even cutter's eyes seemed to be directed at Axell.There was silence for a few moments, then Emily broke down in front of Axell, crying."What do I do?" said Emily while looking at her hand, which was still holding the cutter.Emily put the cutter back shakily. Luckily, she quickly realized this before she became a murderer. She suddenly thought about staying in prison and giving birth there; she really couldn't afford it, and that would tarnish Mattew's big name.Emily sat cross-legged in front of her dressing table after placing the cutter in its original place. Emily couldn't hold back her emotions any longer; she cried uncontrolla
