I'm Not Your Bridge
Chapter 9

Albert immediately led Nayyara to his magnificent palace as soon as Aaron passed. And without saying much, he immediately stripped off all his clothes until not a single thread covered him.

Slowly he began to unify the body. But when their bodies meet each other, a drop of tears falls on Nayyara's eye patch.

Albert was stunned, like a loud slap in his face looking at those tears. He pulls the blanket and uses it to cover Nayyara's innocent body and distance himself from her. "I'm sorry, Nay. I shouldn't have ruined you like this" he said softly.

Albert passed to the bathroom, turned on the water faucet and stood under it. In an instant his body was drenched by that water.

Albert was sitting on the cold bathroom floor. Groaning loudly, then punching the bathroom wall very hard. Fresh blood flowed from his knuckles.

"You are a stupid man, Albert!. Why are you acting so lowly like that? Why are you using a helpless woman to serve your passions? What would you say to your late wife and son up there if they knew about this?" he was cursing at himself.

Albert's head bowed down with a face filled with regret. "I'm sorry, Nay, I shouldn't have done this to you. I am so crazy about you and want to make you my whole life. But that doesn't mean it can justify what I did."

Albert continued to groan and groan. He looks so sorry on his face. Unconsciously, he fell unconscious.

In the middle of the night Albert woke up because his body was shivering with cold. His body temperature was suddenly hot because it was constantly under the water for a long time.

He got up and immediately turned off the water faucet, dried the body, then changed his clothes with a new one. Then he walked out of the bathroom.

For a moment Albert looked at the sinless face of Nayyara who was still unconscious due to the influence of sleeping pills. He didn't even realize what had just happened to him.

Albert breathed a heavy sigh. He turned his face away and decided to rest in another room so as not to do anything stupid.

...****************...

In the morning when the new sun showed its light, Nayyara woke up from her long sleep. He squirms and yawns widely because there is still a little drowsiness in the eyes.

But when his consciousness began to gather, he also tried to remember the incident last night. "what's wrong with me? What happened to me at the party last night? Why can't I remember anything?" he said while kneeling his forehead which was slightly throbbing due to the rest of the effects of sleep involvement he drank last night.

He then spread his eyes across the room. But he did not recognize the room. "Where am I now? Why am I here" he said, full of big question marks.

He pulled out a blanket that covered his body and intended to get out of bed. But when he realized that there was not a single thread attached to his body, he immediately shouted hysterically and covered his body back with the blanket. "God! Why would I be in such a state without clothes? What happened to me last night?."

Slowly he looked at his body. There were red patches all over his body. "Oh my God, what exactly happened to me? Why is my body full of red patches like this?" she returned hysterically.

Hearing Nayyara's hysterical cry, Albert immediately ran into the room to see what the money was going on. "What's wrong with you, Nay? why are you screaming hysterically?" ask him with hunting breath.

But it turns out that Albert appeared at an inappropriate time. His appearance actually made Nayyara increasingly scream hysterically. "Argkkk...why did you get in here? out..out...."

For a moment Albert was surprised to see that there were people who dared to throw him away and even that in his own home. However, he soon gained control after realizing what had happened. "This is my house, and this is my room! of course I can go anywhere I like" he said flatly.

"Yes, it's me!" the answer remained with his flat face.

"So it's true what I thought, you're not a good man!" nayyara said in a cold tone as well. His eyes stared at Albert.

Hearing Nayyara's words, Albert let out a faint smile. "Why do you accuse me of being a bad man?" he replied, responding to Nayyara's accusations casually.

"Then what is the proper designation to give to a man who has kidnapped the wife of a man other than a bad man?" nayyara asked back with a high tone. "I've even seen you repeatedly look at me with a certain intent at last night's party."

Albert smiled at Nayyara. "I didn't kidnap you. It is your own useless husband who gives you to me."

"Lied!" nayyara Sentak. "You just want to trick me, right?."

"It's up to you to believe what I say or not. I've clearly told you the truth."

"I. that's impossible. Aaron couldn't have handed me over to you. You must have just wanted to trick me," ragged Nayyara, not believing Albert's words.

"Maybe it happens!" replied Albert quickly.

Nayyara was silent, still distrusting Albert's words. As far as he was concerned, Aaron was an excellent husband. There was no way he would give up his own wife whom he loved so much to another man.

"Just say your words were true, but why did Aaron give me to you?" ask after a while. This time his tone softened a little.

"To pay off all his debts to me and also to be exchanged for a company of mine."

"What???." Nayyara was shocked to death at Albert's reply. His eyes even glared out. But the next moment he laughed loudly. "You must be just kidding me. There's no way that Aaron owes you so much. He's a successful businessman."

"What's? a successful businessman you say?" albert asked with a mocking laugh. "How far do you know your husband?."

"I'm his wife. Of course I know him very well" Nayyara replied quickly.

"Oh yeah? Did you also know that the mansion you're occupying right now is just a rental house?,"

"What?" ask Nayyara not to believe it. Increasingly surprised to hear new facts about her husband.

His memory goes back to the incident a few days ago where there was a woman who banged on her house early in the morning. At that time her husband said that he was just a salesman who was offering his merchandise and was in need of money to pay the rent.

Understand now what really happened at that time. "So all this time Mas Aaron has been lying to me" he said.

Albert returned with a mocking smile. "Don't I tell you, you don't know who Aaron really is."
