Enough
Chapter 42's

Upon arrival at the apartment Tara asked Tari to sit in front of her. "Sit down, Dance."

Dance sitting on the arm of the sofa. "Are you sick? Or do you have an affair?" he smothered his mouth with both hands.

Tara's eyes widened and she immediately shook her head. "No. No, you're wrong."

"Then what?"

I can't wait to hear Tara's story. Seeing his wife panicking, Tara leaned over and grabbed both hands and grabbed her. Part of Tari does not want to be touched by Tara, because of last night, but part of Tari longs to be calmed her heart.

"I'm not sick and I'm not cheating either. What I'm about to tell you won't hurt you. This is all my past, but Caira thinks you need to know, and I think so is it."

Dari nodded and Tara let go of her hand, she walked back and forth in front of Tari as if she was composing the right words to tell her story, but it made Dari even more anxious.

Tara sat in front of the dance. "Dance? Do you remember the first night we met at the Caira rooftop apartment?"

"Yes," Dance nodded.

"Do you remember the honesty I told you?" tanyanya back.

Tara once revealed that if she was never interested in marriage, she was only interested in one-night love, not wanting to have children and the story of a boy who died from being shot by his own brother, who he saw in the hospital while undergoing MCU. "Baby man?" say Dance. "You saw a boy die from being shot by his own brother? Is that what's causing you to get nervous?"

Tara breathed her heavy breath. "Yes. That's why I was agitated." he stood back up pressing both of his palms into his eyes, holding back his cries. "Do you remember what you said when I told you?"

"I told you, I can't imagine the impact it had on the sister who accidentally shot her" replied Tari. "And then you say 'He will be destroyed for life.'" Dari was sad to remember the story of the poor boy.

Tara stepped closer towards Dari, and knelt before him. "Dance" he said. "The incident completely destroyed it. I know exactly how that kid feels... Because the truth is that it's a story about me and my brother..."

Dari was very surprised, he seemed to not believe what Tara said. Tara hugged tightly to Tari's waist and spread her head in Tari's lap. "I shot my brother and my own best friend. At that time I was only five years old, I had no idea if what I was holding was a real gun. All I know is that a real gun is only in the movie, but my parents have it and they put it in the room."

Tara's body began to shake, she hugged Tari tighter and tighter. Although Tari was still angry with Tara, but she felt that if her husband's heart was very broken, she rubbed Tara's head gently, then kissed her.

"At that time Caira was four years old, six-year-old Angkasa. At the time of the incident, my parents were in the back garden, accompanying Caira to study bicycles. Almost thirty minutes no one heard my screams, then..."

Tara let go of her embrace, and stood up. Silence long enough, because Tara still can not tell the continuation. He sat back on the sofa. "I'm trying.." Tara lowered her head, covering her head with both hands.

"I'm trying to get the blood on the floor back into Space's head, hoping it can cure it."

Dari is made even more surprised to hear the continuation of Tara's story, he covered his mouth that hung with both hands.

Tara approached him, and pulled him into her arms. "I'm not telling you this to look around for justification for what I did to you last night." he let go of his arms and looked into Dance's eyes. "Caira asked me to tell her about the incident because since then, there have been many things that I cannot control. I could get angry, I could faint. Since that incident, until now I am still undergoing therapy and taking medication. This is the reality of my life."

Tara hugged Dance again. "You're my wife, I should have been your protector from the bad guys out there who wanted to hurt you, but it was me who hurt you" Tara said desperately.

For a moment Tari let her husband hold her so tightly, but slowly Tari let go. "I'm going to the bathroom first."

In the bathroom Dari gripped the sink, he could not stand, until finally he slumped to the floor while crying sobbing.

Dari felt that it shouldn't be like this. He should have gone from Tara's life. But the truth is that he still stays here with bruises and torn wounds on his body as a result of the actions of the man who was supposed to protect and love him.

But for some reason, the heart of Dance tried to find justification for what happened. He covered his face with both hands and sobbed, as he felt a lot of pain for Tara after learning what had happened in Tara's past.

Tara just opened up a secret she might never tell anyone, she's trying so hard to be the one for me. Yes, he did last night he made a mistake, but now he's here and trying to make me understand his past that he has no control over, and I can't equate my parents' marriage with mine, because Tara actually treated me so well and she loved me so much.

Dance wiped her tears and got back up. He looked in the mirror "I am his wife, I should have helped the man I love. And I believe that our love is strong enough to get through this" he murmured.

Dance out of the bathroom and approach Tara. She saw that her husband looked very frightened to see Dari. Tara is afraid if Tari does not want to forgive her, when in fact Tari just want to forgive and give Tara a chance.

Dari sat down beside Tara and clasped her hand tightly. "Well, remember what you said that night? That, 'No one's bad, we're all good, but sometimes do bad things.'"

Tara nodded, and clasped Dance's hand tighter.

"I believe you're not a bad person, you love me so much and you can still protect me. When you get angry go calm down, I won't come after you again. Let's talk about it after your emotions stabilise, so no one will get hurt. I'm sure I can get through this together."

Tara breathed out her leg, she immediately carried Tari in her arms. "Thank you for understanding and giving me a chance" he whispered. "I need you to help me heal from this pressure."

In her mind, Tari felt that she had done the right thing, she would try her best to help Tara.

💡REVIEW:

One of the signs of an abusive relationship is manipulation. Someone who is abusive will try to make a partner feel guilty for all the violence he did.

He will convince the couple that he is a good person, but for one reason or another, he cannot control himself.

The perpetrator may beg to cry and be able to do anything to manipulate. Like for example: “just you know me like this, I want to change, please don't tell anyone, you I trust and I love, please help me to change, etc."

Subconsciously, this is what Tara did to Tari at this time.
