Between the Three Hearts
Chapters. 51 DTH

After marriage, Elza was taken abroad by Rizi. The man did not want to stay in the city because he would definitely continue to remember Ica, that was the reason. In fact, Rizi wants to torture Elza until her life feels like hell. Likewise with Elza, his attitude is very different like never before. She is now a weak, fragile and crying woman. Elza who used to have a cool attitude, bar-bar and strong, is now gone. All that changes because of Vania and Ica, she feels guilty until she hates herself.

Before going abroad, Elza decided to go to the funeral of the mother first. He asks Robi to take him to Adiba's funeral, but she doesn't want to ask Vania for help because Vania will definitely refuse him.

Elza gathered next to Adiba's grave, her tears dripping profusely after she learned all the truth that she was not a daughter of Vania and her mother was an actor.

"Ma, look! They suspect if I'm a descendant of Mama and I also have the same nature as Mama is to snatch someone else's partner. I don't want to be like this, Ma." Elza sobbed in the heat of the sun.

"Ma, for a moment I thought I wanted to catch up with Mama. But I remember that if suicide wasn't the right solution to every problem, I didn't want to make Mama sad up there any more. I should be able to live this life, right, Ma? I can't complain, can I?" Elza spoke to herself as if Adiba was nearby.

"Ma, pray for Elza to be able to face everything. Mama has always been near Elza and will never be far from El" Elza said.

After a long time at the funeral of his parents, Elza rushed home because the weather looks cloudy and it will rain. Robi looked at Princess with pity, she did not expect that Elza would have to live this kind of life. He was an orphan and now trials are approaching him.

Being in the country people never think in the mind of Elza, even she still does not believe if at this time she is difficult to marry and have a husband. Married with love certainly makes anyone happy but he, himself married without love and based on coercion. Elza looked around her room, she stared at every corner of the room that was so luxurious and magnificent. However, she was alone in the room while Rizi was in another room.

Rizi decides to split the bed, she will not want to touch or consider Elza. It was already his unanimous decision, he did not want to be kind either.

Tonight, Elza is confused about what to cook because she has never struggled with kitchen utensils. He scratched his head without itching by staring at all the kitchen utensils and contents in the refrigerator. There are only broccoli, eggs and sprouts. I don't know who filled the refrigerator but there are already foodstuffs from Indonesia.

"What am I supposed to do? Even to cook eggs I never. How'this?" muttered Elza while thinking.

Rizi who just came out of the room immediately smiled cynically at Elza.

"Are you confused by all that equipment?" he said suddenly from behind Elza's body.

Elza looked over for a moment and then she looked down.

"I've guessed if you can't do anything, you spoiled child! I'm so sorry why on that night you had to accompany me." Rizi brings back their past.

"You dare to fight me?" Rizi approached Elza.

"I, I—" Elza was so nervous her hand rolled up the ends of her own clothes.

"Listen, Elza! You don't have anyone here and you don't understand this country. I could've thrown you away and you could've been a bum here, and you could've starved to death." Rizi pulled Elza's hair until El looked up.

"Let go of my hair! You want to torture me, huh?" elza asked with a clear face.

"If so, why? What can you do, hm? I purposely brought you into this country all of that so I could freely torture you, you know?" Rizi pressed down on each word while removing her hand from Elza's hair.

"What's my fault? Why are you so mean and blame me for everything that's happened right now? Did you forget all that trouble was caused by you, huh!" Elza snapped at Rizi with tears.

Plaque!

One slap successfully floated on Elza's cheek, the blow was so hard that it left a mark. Elza held onto her cheek while looking at Rizi sharply.

"What! You didn't take that blow? Even I can do more than a slap, you understand!" rizi shouted amidst Elza's cries.

"Let's hit me again, hit me as much as you can!" Elza shouted loudly while hitting her own cheek.

"Basic is not sane!" Rizi leaves Elza crying and screaming hysterically.

Elza contemplates her fate, only the first day she lives in a new house with Rizi but Rizi's behavior has hurt her a lot.
