Give me back my husband's smile
CHAPTER 96: The Retaliation of Pain

The star sat in front of her bedroom dresser, she stared at her body reflected in the glass. Her pretty face is now battered. His cheeks have sharp claw marks so that they bleed. The corner of his lips was even torn, there was residual blood drying due to the blows and hard slaps of the mothers in the mall. His arms and hands were also bluish bruises caused by the mad mother's strong grip.

“Ah, it hurts a lot." The star groaned, as her injured cheek was painful.

The star picked up a P3K box that was in the drawer under her dresser. He opened the box of P3K, the hand of Star reaching for the cotton that had been given alcohol. He rubbed his cotton wool on every wound on his face. The star repeatedly whimpered in pain as the soft cotton touched her scratched skin. It was so painful that the Star could not stem the tears that came out. His heart ached along with his body that was filled with wounds, his anger was now erupting.

“Aarrrghhh!" The star shouted, his chest now rumbling with emotion. He kicked the table in front of him until some of his makeup tools fell scattered.

"Hiks.hiks..hiks, I cannot accept those people insulting me!" Shouted the Star gazing sadly at him at this moment. The past of his mother also unfolded in the media to become the material of their banter. "Why hicks.hiks. Though I've gone so far, but again the Moon's sister messed things up. Aarrggh!" Stars cry as they please, until when will these rumors stop? Wherever the stars are, the actor's stamp will always be attached to it.

"I will definitely repay you brother, I will make your life suffer more than the pain I have been through all this time." Said the Star while wiping her tears. This all happened because of her brother, the Moon has always been a troublemaker in the living Star.

"Star." The woman looked when she heard her husband's voice. The star stood up, and he ran over to embrace Alvaro. "Sir Al, I'm afraid hiks..hiks..".hiks."

Alvaro had just returned from his office, usually his wife would welcome him warmly with her sweet smile. But this time the star cried in his arms, what is it? Alvaro was completely confused.

"Bi you why?" Alvaro asked gently as he rubbed his wife's trembling back. What caused his wife to cry like this? Alvaro tries to calm the Star down so she stops crying.

"Sister they all hate me sister.hiks." Alvaro frowned, he broke his embrace looking fixedly at his wife. How surprised Alvaro when he saw his wife's face full of bruises and also his body there are bruises that look contrast in smooth white skin.

Alvaro cupped the tearful face of the Star, she glared sharply at the bead of his wife's eyes. "The star says who hurt you like this?" Alvaro asked for an answer, who would dare to hurt his wife to such injuries? Alvaro Miris sees the condition of the Star.

"Hiks..hiks...hiks." The star cried even louder, making Alvaro's heart sliced to hear his wife's sadness.

"Say the stars, who did it huh?" Alvaro's question pressed Bintang for the woman to be honest with him.

"Sir hicks.hiks, everyone I meet they torment me.Hiks they hate me feet even they do not hesitate to hit me to vent his frustration hiks..hik." Alvaro was still confused, he really did not understand the words of the Star just now.

"What's your max?"

The star stared at her husband. "Don't you know the rumor that's been going viral lately about our household?" Alvaro nodded, obviously he knew very well because the entire television station made the discussion of his household the main topic in various events. "Sister fans kak Bulan, they insulted me and even they treated me in public kak hiks. They all thought the cause of the destruction of the Moon brother household with you because of my presence hiks.".hiks."

Alvaro was stunned to hear Bintang's confession just now, the viral news turned out to have brainwashed the public so that it led to opinions to hate Bintang. God, why would those people be rude to the pregnant Star. Where their conscience lies, Alvaro's tightly clenched hands begin to ignite emotions.

"So they berate me. They even call me a bad woman, a cheap and-and hiks." The star can no longer even continue his words, all the insults of the people really hurt the heart of the Star.

"Bi forgive me." Alvaro said as he gently rubbed the tears that pooled on his wife's cheeks. Not only was the Star injured but Alvaro also felt pain when he saw the Star crying.

"Even worse is not just me who is blasphemed.hiks. They also had the heart to slander my mother sister, they insulted my mother as a prostitute. Just imagine which child is not sad and hurt when you hear parents who have struggled to give birth to us are mocked like that, huh?" The star is getting louder crying vaporizes his passionate emotions in his presence.

"Never before have I been subjected to the harsh treatment of my mother or my father.hiks, but they were strangers who dared to hurt me with their hands. I-I can't be treated like this brother, I don't accept!" The stars complained.

Star emotions are unstable, pressure and blasphemy from the community makes Bintang feel confused so that it affects his mind enough.

Alvaro hugged the Star, held it in his chest. "Suuusstt, Bi listen. Before I married Moon, I had bonded with you. It was the moon that suddenly entered our relationship that forced me to marry her even though I had no feelings at all with her. Believe me you are a good man, the wife I love the most. The one who deserves to be nicknamed the actor is the Moon, not you." Alvaro said trying to win the Bintang, the young man rubbed his wife's hair mane gently.

The moon nodded, she increasingly tightened her embrace in her husband's embrace that felt so comfortable. "Sister is right." Gumam Bintang, her brother who should get social sanctions from the community, not her.

Green Cafe

A middle-aged mother was eating food that was available on the table with a variety of menu of beef bowls, toast, sandwiches, and milk tea. In front of the middle-aged mother, an elegant-looking woman was staring at her sophisticated mobile phone that showed an interesting video. Where a pregnant woman is lashed, slapped and beaten to the brink. Occasionally the woman's laughter boomed, fortunately the cafe was quiet at this time so that no one was disturbed by the sound of her laughter.

"How's Miss Laura? Aren't I great." Said Laras stopping his meal, he asked politely to his boss about his work today.

Laura smiled as a smile. "It's very satisfying to Laras, but I think you've been tormenting him for less than a long time." Reply Laura commented.

"If the damn security hadn't shown up, I'd have gotten your stepdaughter in the madam's hospital." Laras is indeed a rude and reckless woman, for the sake of getting a big payment she is willing to do anything to support her family including accepting an offer from the wife of a conglomerate that is the honorable mistress Laura. This work is a great risk, because the acts of violence he committed to Bintang may be able to drag him into prison under article 351 of the Criminal Code regarding the persecution with a maximum prison sentence of two years and eight months.

"It's okay Baras, I'm quite happy. Apparently I didn't wrongly appoint you to do this job." Laura looked at Laras sitting in front of her.

Laura reached into her bag to grab something, she thrust a brown envelope on the table. Quickly Laras picked it up, he hurriedly opened the aplop. His eyes sparkling happy to see a wad of money in there make Laras instantly happy sumringah.

Baras instantly counted it, making Laura grimace looking at his men as if not believing the amount of money he gave. "I just took it through the atm, the money was a nominal ten million according to our agreement. I don't want to waste my time waiting for you to count your money here." Laura said with a annoyed expression.

Barrel grinned, he put his money in his sling bag. "Sorry by the way. I'm afraid your stepdaughter will throw me in jail. You know, by the way, madam, I have five children and 10 grandchildren. Our economy is very difficult, if I go to jail, my history is over." Curse Laras by putting on a clear face.

"Ck, just relax. Before I act I've thought about this carefully. The star will not imprison you, if until he dares to do so I am sure you will be released soon. A lot of people are defending the Moon, they will instead support your actions because people today hate the Stars so much." Laura tried to calm her men down, if Bintang dares to mess with punishing Laras means he digs his own grave because automatically rumors will even heat up let alone involve a fan who was dragged into this problem. Obviously the Star will think twice if she is a smart woman.

"Hahaha, yes, madam. I can breathe a sigh of relief." Reply Barrel.

Laura stood up from her seat, reaching into her purse. "It's extra money to buy your grandson's milk." Said Laura handing over a few hundred thousand bills in front of Laras.

With pleasure Laras certainly received the windfall. "Thank you madam, I'm so happy to work with you." Laras smiled counting the bonus money given by his boss as much as five thousand rupiah.

Laura put on her sunglasses and walked out of the cafe. Laras still had time to glance at Laura admiring the body of her boss who was slim like a model, let alone her beautiful face that was maintained inedible age made Laras feel envious. But he wondered how his boss' husband even cheated on him with a poor woman named Nadia who was it.

Though Laura is very beautiful, hah all rich men are very fond of playing with the feelings of a woman's heart. Her husband who is ugly and poor also likes to cheat with dangdut biduan, let alone the handsome classmate of Laura's mistress and has money to berjibun must still be tempted by other dream women. Inner Barrel in his mind.
