Little Wife
CHAPTER 50


Lora hiccups in Hanzel's arms. Who is not heart broken? From childhood he considered himself betrayed by the promise of his mother who gave a lot of once the lure of togetherness, in fact only two months his mother survived with him, and then death was a choice that must be taken by his mother, and his mother, who was still alive, leaving the five-year-old little Lora with tears of anger, disappointment, and sadness to inflict a deep and prolonged trauma to this day.


Lora thought, God will be just and give a lot of happiness when a woman smiles, extends her hand with a warm gaze as if able to protect, love, and also provide evidence of the promise given by her mother. No, all of it is not as beautiful as his shadow, in fact he must be more tormented, difficulty eating, lack with the very name of affection, he must also accept the oppression that Resa did, Resa said, even his neighbors are often oppressive because they think Lora is just a child.


Sixteen years of age a teenager who usually will only feel like, cheerful and play with peers, sharing happiness without knowing the pain so deep. Lora, the beautiful girl was going through all the pain, from being frightened every day to seeing her adoptive father staring with frightening intent, even before the fatal abuse was committed, Her foster father often does embarrassing ha such as squeezing his buttocks while we are doing homework, holding his chest, even when Lora is cleaning the closet, her foster father holds the core. Lora who has often received such abuse is certainly not once twice crying, every day even she was scared without cause because of her foster father.


Already told this to neighbors hoping he gets help, in fact Lora even considered not knowing herself and not knowing thank you. No wonder, it's all because his adoptive father's attitude is fairly kind and polite to the neighbors so they think it makes no sense if we say it.


" Lora, I know it's hard for you to forget that, because obviously you'll never forget it. But, isn't it as long as there's me you'll be happy? Just remember about me, let's be happy until we can laugh at the past. "


" How can it be? that disgusting past can be laughed at? Remembering that day, I really wanted to kill myself. I want to peel off my skin touched by it, I want to stick a knife in all my body, I don't even want to live anymore. " Lora reduced her body to the floor because she could not stand her limp body. Hanzel again grabs Lora's body, leading her to sit in proper sleep. Actually Hanzel had an important meeting that he had to attend, but seeing Lora who was so devastated of course he could not rule out Lora, because it could be that Lora lost control and tried to kill herself later.


" The man is punished, not all fools will believe it. Don't be depressed just because of those fools, believe me a lot of smart people will trust you more. " Hanzel rubbed Lora's face gently, and it made Lora so want to look at Hanzel and say what she wanted to ask.


" Are you not disgusted with me? Didn't you feel like I was dirty before? I'm that old jerk, I'm ex- "


" Stop, Lora! " Hanzel cupped Lora's face and looked at her firmly.


" We humans live must have a past, I also have a past that makes me not want to remember it, just like you. We are both fragile people, we can survive and comfort each other, I depend on that from you, so can you. Lora, what's the point of continuing to be tied to the past if it's clear the future is a much more important thing. You can be sad about the past, but don't affect your future which should make you happy. I'm with you, Lora. Let's keep trying to get out of those shackles, trust me everything will be fine in the end. "


Lora nodded, but she couldn't stop crying either. It's okay, in fact crying will also be able to make someone become calmer.


Hanzel had been with Lora for an hour, and now Lora was asleep, probably because she was tired of crying. So in order to settle all pending work affairs, Hanzel asks Ita to be in the room accompanying Lora always, and Ita is asked to contact Hanzel if Lora wakes up later.

Nora stared in disbelief, but she was also sad when she saw the current trending campus news. Lora, the innocent girl was accused of seducing her foster father several times, then put in jail in order to make his name clean with the help of his lover now known is the son of a wealthy businessman who is quite famous for having several wives.


" It's impossible. " Say Nora after reading those articles. Now that he switched to reading one by one the comments from the students, the average of them clearly cornered Lora, cursing at her will, even cursing very frontally and opening only one or two people.


Still curious, Nora continues to find out who her foster father is, but what appears is a photo of Resha. Immediately Nora saw Resa's social media, if from the right he was photographed, and also the building of the house, it looks like Resa is the son of a rich man. But is it possible that Lora is as reported?


" If you go to prison, is it possible that state servants can be bribed? "


" Nora's? " Nora flinched and immediately closed her laptop because the one calling was her father.


" father? " Nora got up from her bed and walked over to her father.


" You eat first, huh? I've prepared food for you. "


Nora nodded quickly.


" So what were you looking at? it looks serious. "


Nora shook her head.


" Just a comment from a cosmetic ad, Dad. "


" Oh yeah, lunch first huh? " His father Nira rubbed his daughter's head before leaving first.


Nora clenched her hands with reddened eyes holding back tears. It felt very sad to not be able to tell what was really going on, but this was also for the safety of her Father, hence the silence for this was a choice that Nora could choose.


Sorry, Lora.

Resa smiled happily at the many bad comments aimed at Lora. It felt like he was very satisfied, even his lips continued to smile unable to stop.


" Lora, how can you be happy with what should not be yours? "


Resa picked up her iPad, then replied to one by one comments that felt sorry for her with slashing language so that Lora was more cornered.


Seriate.
