A Little Hope For Ashma
33. Slap of the frail woman

"Who is Edward? Why is he present in my memory?

Aunt Marianee is shocked to hear her daughter's question about Edward, she doesn't know what to explain because Aunt Marianee doesn't want to mention him again.

"He's just your past baby, don't think too much about it. It doesn't matter, either, now just focus on your recovery." said aunt Marianee did not want to explain.

Lily let out a tired sigh, again she did not get any answers from her mother.

"That's it, but why do I seem to miss the man named Edward Ma, I don't know either."

Aunt Marianee immediately stroked Lily's top of the head fondly, "later when it's time you'll definitely remember back." Aunt Marianee takes Lily into her arms, they return to the longing that had paused for a year.

...•••...

Adam who had woken up from his sleep did not immediately move, he had long enough to look at Ashma's peaceful face in his sleep.

Adam stroked that face full of tenderness. But guilt gnaws at his heart considering his purpose in marrying Ashma just because of a responsibility to protect Ashma plus Adam with his jerk almost harassing Ashma at that time.

Now she was pregnant with her child, which Adam never expected from the beginning. Ashma's body makes him unable to always resist his burning desire, especially Ashma always teases him with the usual clothes the wives wear to carry out the task.

It was his first experience doing such a thing because Adam had never done it with anyone let alone Lily whom he loved so much, he never did it except with his wife, Ashma. Adam is not that kind of man, he really upholds women's self-esteem.

Ashma who felt someone's gentle touch made her squirm, she woke up with eyes that were still a little sleepy. Their eyes meet again implying a glint, looking for the meaning of each.

"I don't think you'll be next to me anymore. Wh why? Isn't the woman you love so much back" Ashma said with a flat face. Adam was still trying to interpret Ashma's eyes for a while.

"True, he's back. Unfortunately I had to explain to my wife not to think too badly of us." - Adam was so calm, he knew Ashma was so troubled by her answer.

Ashma frowned, what the fuck Adam was. Ashma doesn't care what they do behind her back.

"I don't care what you do behind my back but I still don't defend your affair, however you are still wrong. Why not tell me, at least I won't think a no-no about you guys." Ashma's grouse was upset, this time he showed his emotions.

Adam touched Ashma's face again gently, "I didn't do anything with Lily, we didn't have an affair. I also know the limits." Adam answered it as easily as his mouth did not think of Ashma's feelings starting to get messed up.

"It is precisely because you know your boundaries should be open with me. Even if I'm just your impingement, I'm your wife!"

Adam was immediately angry to hear Ashma's words, he immediately rose from his sleep and supported the woman in his large body.

"Can you not say such a thing again? You're not Ashma's impingement!" she firmly told Ashma, she was covered in a fog of anger.

Ashma smiled wryly, she tried to push Adam's chest but the man even aggressively kissed her all over Ashma's face.

"Adam he-stop!"

Adam did not also stop his activity kissing Ashma, do not know why but seeing Ashma's face makes him anxious himself let alone his distended stomach even add to the impression of adorable.

Ashma is increasingly rebellious in Adam's confinement makes Adam stop his activity, he pulls back his body to sit, releasing Ashma with a fast racing heart.

"I just don't like you saying that. For whatever sake you are not my impingement!" adam's voice seemed to rise, his eyes cold with no expression.

Ashma also sat with a little distress because of her pregnancy is getting bigger, it makes Adam also help so that Ashma can sit comfortably.

"Thank you,"

Even though Ashma was not in a good mood, she still tried to appreciate her husband.

"So... Please explain!" ashma asked Adam to explain their problem.

Adam took a deep breath then exhaled slowly, it was all Ashma noticed. What is so heavy, Ashma think he is also not entirely happy his lover back, I don't know Ashma is not too willing to know.

"I never thought he was alive. I'm so happy, God is so good to me,"

"He drowned himself in the sea, let me and Edward get entangled in the nestapa hole, we both lost. That woman is crazy, she's willing to end her life just to break up we kind of don't kill each other,"

"We remain enemies. Looking for an opportunity to kill each other,"

Adam massaged the base of his nose, especially when he was very messy. "A year passed on his disappearance, suddenly a miracle came upon me now. Lily is still alive but she lost some of her memory, I'm happy Lily doesn't remember Edward but I'm angry her memory even made her think again of that bastard!"

Ashma grinned bitterly in her heart, so much so that Adam told her things about Lily to be honest it hurt her but Ashma kept trying to calm down.

"I knew when Lily cancelled our marriage and left with Edward because she wanted to save me, and I also strongly believed that Lily loved me."

Ashma snorted, "very confident you are, Mas, you are completely blinded by your obsession, it is not love! You can't see the truth that Lily never loved you!"

Adam stared intently at Ashma, daring to say something he knew nothing about.

"It seems like you're just jealous of how I feel about Lily huh?" ask her with a cynical smile. Ashma was undaunted when she found Adam's gaze turning cold and gloomy.

"Thank God I'm not jealous at all! Just a little pity on you!"

Ashma provokes anger in Adam, making him unable to think properly. Though initially Adam only wanted to tell him calmly but Ashma instead provoked a commotion.

"No need to deny, your jealousy is so obvious!" Adam also did not want to lose, making Ashma upset.

"As far as you are. I don't give a shit. After all, the love of your life is back, so isn't it easier if we end this marriage immediately?!"

Adam rose from his seat, the veins around his neck clearly indicating that Ashma really made him angry.

"You," sizzled Adam sharply.

"Don't make me mad Ashma!" he said he gave a warning. Ashma stood up, and she stared at Adam.

"Then why are you still holding me back, shouldn't you be relieved to want to part with me?!" His words were filled with anger.

Adam's eyes darkened, the peaceful atmosphere now turned terrifying. "I will grant it but not for now!" Adam as much as possible held back his anger that wanted to explode.

Tears he could not break, Ashma did not want to look weak and stupid again in front of Adam. "I didn't think you were so selfish! Are you so stupid that you can't see your wife suffering!" Shouting Ashma with her back straight and chin raised, she forgot her manners.

Adam was so frustrated with Ashma who seemed childish. "You yourself are trapped in suffering, don't blame others!"

"Excuse me what?"

"You made yourself suffer!"

Ashma laughed heartily at Adam's words, "that's what you are. You made me hate you!"

"You made me suffer! What a difference does it make when we start, you also have to remember your original intention of marrying me just to take responsibility! Ashma spirals out of control instinctively as she gets more and more of Adam's hurtful remarks.

Adam clasped Ashma's shoulder, "again you bring it up!"

"Take me off!" lament Ashma, against the grip of Adam. He did not realize that Ashma was in pain.

"Can you say to Ashma! Please wait until one year, until you are safe and this child is born."

Ashma stopped struggling, "then what do you want to do after this child is born?"

"We're gonna get divorced and then, this child custody is mine."

Loud slaps echoed during the day, Adam felt his cheeks spreading a burning warmth all over his face. Ashma slapped her hard, making her body retreat one step.
