"Daddy's cell phone number is off. So how's this?" ask Mora who is now in the dining table chair.
They had all gathered for dinner the same as usual, however, this time it was not as usual, Alex had not returned home and also his mobile number was off. Though usually Alex was always the one who used to sit waiting for his children to have dinner together.
Kartika glanced at the clock that had pointed at eight o'clock at night.
"Molki, Mora you eat first." Say Kartika while spooning rice to Mora's plate.
"But daddy's not here yet, mother." Said Mora.
"Darling, maybe daddy has another job to do. So eat first, let the mother wait for daddy." Kartika said, and Mora immediately devoured his food because it was very hungry. Moreover, the food menu this time was so very tempting.
Ten o'clock at night.
Kartika came out of Mora's room, because Mora had fallen asleep very fast. Then, Kartika walked into Molki's room, and saw clearly if Molki was asleep in the blanket. Kartika smiled because the two children were so disciplined and followed all his words. At least even though Alex is rude, and makes Kartika depressed, but there are Molki and Mora who make it a little defensive.
Kartika is currently in the living room, glancing at the clock.
"It's early morning, but why isn't Alex home yet?" kartika Gumam.
"Did something happen? because it's not like usual." Then when Kartika was about to climb the stairs to her room, the main door immediately opened very wide and also hard.
Kartika who was at the top of the stairs immediately turned to the door, and could see very clearly if Alex was at the door with a sharp gaze fixed on him.
"Alex." Kartika muttered when she saw Alex who was walking closer to her with a sharp gaze that seemed ready to prey on her.
"Alexes.."
Plaaqpkkkk....
One slap landed on Kartika's smooth cheek.
Kartika was shocked, and immediately rubbed her cheek which felt very hot and painful due to a hard slap from Alex.
"Alexes.." Kartika Tegur.
"Alex stop." Kartika Shouts, Kartika,
But instead of stopping, Alex just threw Kartika, making Kartika fall on the marble floor.
"What's my fault?" Ask Kartika.
"You snake woman. I know, you came to my house because you wanted to run all my treasures, right?" snapped Alex.
"Alex." Kartika stood up, and looked at Alex intently.
"I don't need your treasure." Kartika said loudly.
"Say! Quickly tell me who the guy out there is that you're teasing, so give you money to spend."
"You sa...." Not yet Kartika spoke, Alex immediately slapped back on Kartika's smooth cheek, and this time, the corner of Kartika's lips let out fresh blood.
Molki who had woken up because he felt thirsty, immediately ran and hugged Kartika's body.
"Mother." Shouted Molki.
"Mother you okay?" Ask Molki who was afraid to see fresh blood flowing in the corner of Kartika's lips.
"Molkey." Shouted Alex while pulling Molki's arm.
"Daddy...." Shouted Molki.
"Get in your room."
"Daddy, don't hurt Mom. Don't hurt mom. Mother is not wrong anything." Molki.
"Molkey." Alex tries to release Molki from Kartika but it is very difficult, because Molki hugs Kartika's body tightly.
"You've brainwashed my son. You're a snake woman. You're a bad woman."
