LET ME BE HAPPY
chapter 35

Adinda POV

I woke up when my throat was dry. Slowly I moved the thick, coiled arm around my stomach. Scroll the clock on the nightstand, it turns out it's already at one night.

I exhaled a long breath. Today is my twenty-fifth birthday. I never celebrate it every year. Because my birthday is the day my father crashed and was declared dead.

Right on that day, the mother will cry hysterically and fall ill for a few days. Mother always blames herself for what happened to father in the past.

The only person who always congratulates me on my birthday is Devin. He would knock on my bedroom door at exactly twelve o'clock just to wish me a happy birthday.

But now behold, he even fell asleep with no guilt for ignoring me. I didn't really expect to get that congratulations either, because the present Devin was no longer the old Devin.

I headed to the kitchen to quench my thirst. I poured water into the glass, then I gulped it down to the toilet. I rushed back to the room and laid myself back beside Devin.

I woke up again when I heard the sound of Adzan shubuh reverberating. I got up and headed to the bathroom. Then carry out my duties as a Muslim even if only alone.

When I finished, I headed to the kitchen to prepare breakfast as usual. Went to the kitchen, I immediately cleaned the whole room.

When I entered the room, I saw Devin was getting ready to go to the office. Scroll clock on the nightstand turned out to be still at half six. Maybe this morning the office is open? Devin usually leaves for the office at eight in the morning.

I continued my footsteps into the closet. Take the clothes that I will wear then immediately go to the bathroom to refresh this body.

I came out of the bathroom but I didn't see Devin. I headed for the dresser and polished my thin face. Then I went to the dining table.

"Huft, just eating my cooking she's reluctant. So, where does he remember what day it was," I grumbled.

Immediately I scooped the rice and moved it to my plate. Filled it with side dishes that I painstakingly served. I eat in silence until all the food on my plate is left unnoticed.

Just as I was about to clean the dinner table, a message came into my phone. I ignored it for a moment, I hurriedly cleaned the dining table. Keep food untouched. Washing dirty eating utensils for me.

When I finished, I went to the sofa with my phone. I saw who sent me the message. It turned out that his father, he sent me a happy birthday message and invited me to meet. I immediately agreed to my father's request because I missed him so much.

After the maghrib prayer, I was ready to meet my father. I'm waiting for Devin's arrival to ask permission, but until this hour Devin hasn't returned.

I stepped into a fancy restaurant. I looked around to find the father. I smiled when I found a middle-aged man waving at me, who else if not father.

"Happy birthday, dear," said the father as he moved from his seat and took me in his arms.

"Thank you Dad" I replied with a smile that always graced my face.

We also ate the food at the table. I deliberately emptied the place in my stomach so that tonight I could eat all the menus that my father had ordered specifically for me.

"This is a gift for you, baby. I hope Adin likes it. Do you wear it?" ask the father who was nodding back by me.

Dad opened the rectangular-shaped velvet box. A diamond necklace with a very beautiful heart-shaped pendulum. Dad stood up from his seat and approached me. Then Dad put that necklace around my neck.

I looked at the diamond necklace that was now beautifully wrapped around my neck. A heart-shaped pendulum that reads the initials 'A'. I'm happy, really happy.

"Thank you Dad" I said.

"Sama-sama Darling. Oh yeah, I can't stay long because I have an appointment with Dad's client." Dad took my hand in his hand.

"Darling, whenever you need Daddy, God willing Dad will always be there for you. I want to make up for all the time I can't pass with you. I just want you to be happy, dear." Dad kissed my back repeatedly.

Whoever's looking must've thought Dad was my sugar daddy. However, I don't care what people think, I'm definitely happy now. Father once again took me into his arms before he left.

"Din!"

"Back home!" exclaim Devin.

Devin blocked my hand and dragged me out. He threw my body into the car. Then Devin drove the vehicle at high speed, it scared me.

"Dev, you want us dead?" Devin glanced at me with his sharp gaze, making me lock my mouth tightly.

The car stopped in the basement of the apartment. Once again Devin blocked my hand and dragged me to our apartment unit. I'm limping off Devin's wide stride. Even my arm feels really sick. I didn't know what was wrong, so Devin did this to me.

"Das*r women cheap*n!" devin shouted right in front of my face.

"It turns out all women are the same. How many men have this 4h body?" devin asked as his other hand mer3m4s payud.

"Aakkhhh," I cried. I can't do anything because my body is squeezed into the wall.

"Did you enjoy it, huh? Basic j*l*ng!" rang Devin as he got stronger he mer3m4snya.

Sick, of course sick. However, even more this heartache heard the swearing coming out of Devin's mouth. Devin tore off the dress I was wearing and also forcibly pulled the necklace father gave me.

"Dev, what are you doing?" I asked when I realized that the necklace that had not been an hour I was wearing was now scattered on the floor.

Devin laughed loudly, but it sounded terrible in my ears. Devin threw my body on the bed. I tried to rebel but Devin slapped my cheek hard. Somehow the story, now Devin has managed to take off all the clothes I wear.

"Dev, ja-emphh." I couldn't continue my protest because Devin silenced me with his rude and demanding ci*m*n. Even now his hands are moving wildly v*m*h my body.

"Basic women j*l*ng! Already have a husband but still make out with other men in public places." I was stunned to hear Devin's words. What does he mean is father? I daydreamed until I realized what Devin was doing to my body.

"Aakkhhh," I cried with restraint as I felt an excruciating pain in the core of my body.

I saw Devin stunned for a moment to see me groaning in pain, but then he came back to do the action brutally. I was scared, very scared. I don't know how many times he's been beating my body because I lost consciousness when I was forced to serve n*fs*nya.

I woke up when the clock was two o'clock in the morning. Clear thread escaped wetting the cheeks when remembered last night. Devin does have rights over my body, but this is not how it works. He was like a monster ready to rip apart its prey at any moment.

"Aackh." I was sick when I tried to get out of bed.

I grabbed the phone on the nightstand and typed a message on someone. With the rest of my energy, I walked towards the bathroom to flutter this body.

"Oh my God, what is this?" my peek.

Almost my entire body was filled with red marks that Devin had deliberately made. I was crying under the shower. I finished my shower action after feeling my body was a little better.

I saw Devin still asleep in bed who witnessed how biad*bnya he as someone who should protect. I walk this leg into the closet and immediately put on clothes. I took all my things out and put them in my suitcase.

"Goodbye Dev. I'm sorry if I have to go, I don't want last night to happen again." I rubbed the clear lips that endlessly wet the cheeks.

I took a step before Devin woke up from his deep sleep. I walk occasionally grimacing in pain. I dragged the suitcase that contained all my belongings, only the remaining dress that Devin had torn off that I had not brought. I also brought a necklace given by my father.

Up ahead, Dad waited for me and looked at me pityfully. I was accelerating my pace. I ran into my father's arms and shed tears again.

"Dad, Adin's scared. Take Adin away from here, "I asked.

"Yes Dear. Make sure that man never sees you again. He's your husband, he has rights over your body, but he shouldn't have made his wife into a slave na*s*. I'll finish it for you." Dad stroked my vibrating back.

Then we left this place before Devin woke up and realized I wasn't there. I was afraid he would do something even more cruel to me.

"Goodbye Dev," my inner
