Long Journey of Tough Women
44. Sacrifice

There are times when life seems to leave us no choice, but it forces us to accept destiny and follow its course. We would probably think that it was the end of everything. However, one thing is certain we must remember that the road is still too long to pass, and life is like a road that never ends. Eda Sally

Yuana received the box with trembling hands. He could not imagine what the box would contain. While the box giver smiled cunningly triumphantly.

As her hands trembled, Yuana chose to put the box beside her. He was afraid that the box would fall because of his trembling hands, and then it will cause a greater wrath than the master who is in front of him who sits arrogantly as if he has no fault and sin against anyone. Because with his power, he can lift or dismiss anyone from his position, where and whenever he wishes.

"Now you can go. Don't try to say anything about our conversation to anyone, especially Erik. Because when you say it, then the consequences of what I've said will be accepted by your sister and your mother."

Yuana remained silent because she did not know what to say. He does not believe in the reality he is facing now. Even to swallow sliva was felt stuck in his throat.

"You can go."

Andre Wiliam repeated his command line to tell Yuana to leave because ten minutes had passed and Yuana did not move from her place at all. And lightly, the master gave the order to him to leave with a smothering tone of expulsion.

"Ba.baik. Excuse me."

Yuana answered still shrouded in nervousness. He then put a box as big as a notebook into his bag.

Without saying anything more, Yuana went straight out with her tears in her eyes. He did not want to cry in front of the servants of Erik's family. He also does not want his pride trampled if he has to be forgiven in the name of love. For him his self-esteem is too high to do that, and for love he will do it even though it will lead to pain.

After arriving at the place where Fadly was waiting, Yuana immediately got into the car because Fadly had already opened the door. Yuana sat down with her head lowered and closed her eyes to prevent her urgent tears from coming out earlier.

"Where are you going to take you?"

"Go to the apartment. When you get there please wake me up."

Yuana said so to avoid the chat with Fadly and so as not to cry in front of Fadly.

Fadly who was driving the car, felt a strange reaction from Yuana's attitude. But he tries to keep thinking positively.

Uh! It's possible that Miss Yuana is really exhausted. I can't interfere. I'll run the car casually so miss can rest in the car.

Fadly who thought that Yuana was exhausted, immediately ran her car slowly and casually. The travel time that should be twenty minutes, turns into thirty minutes.

After arriving, Fadly does not wake Yuana. He thought that Yuana was actually sleeping and therefore he chose to turn off the car engine without waking Yuana up.

The sleepless Yuana is shocked that Fadly turns off the car engine and reflexively opens her eyes. Fadly who looked at Yuana from the glass, saw that Yuana was awake.

"I'm sorry for not waking up. I thought Miss was asleep, so I turned off the car engine so she could rest."

"It's okay Fad. I can't sleep either."

"Do you need to help me get the lady inside?"

"No need for Fad. I can do it myself. Thank you." Thank you."

Yuana just smiled and nodded hearing what Fadly said, then went straight inside. He could no longer speak. He wanted to go into the room and go to bed to release all the burdens that the master had just placed on him.

When she got inside, Yuana did not go to her room because it felt like her legs were no longer strong to move. Yuana immediately dropped herself on the sofa in the living room.

And at the same time, the waters that formed a tributary, immediately seeped out like a flood that looked for a gap to pass through. He cried silently and forcefully suppressed the piercing pain in his chest imagining all the humiliation he had received earlier.

Still clearly tempted by the derogatory harsh sentences addressed to him. The master's words seemed to never receive the slightest bit of kindness from the ever-loyal Yuana behind him who had worked for over a year on him.

Is that how the dignitaries repay the good of the people? Are they so selfish that they don't see the good side of others? Are only people of high social status able to fall in love? If so then why should those born in simplicity be born out of love? What's wrong with a woman's simple love?

These questions disturbed Yuana's mind in her yet-to-be-defeated cries. Suddenly his mind drifted back to recall the box that was inside the bag.

Yuana got up, tried to strengthen her heart and observed the box in her bag. He then slowly took out the box and did not dare to open it. For a moment he still took his breath before opening the box.

After feeling that she had gained control of her heart, Yuana slowly opened the box. But his eyes did not want to work together and seemed afraid to see what the contents of the box were.

Her eyes were closed reflexively as if giving Yuana a chance to gather strength in her body and readiness of her heart to be able to accept the shock and reality of what she will see later and who she must live.

After her heart was completely ready, Yuana lowered her eyes to look at the contents of the box. He was confused to see the contents that contained many letters that he himself did not understand because he had not read them.

Yuana spilled all the letters in the box onto the sofa, and her eyes and watered-down brain worked together to understand what the master had given her and what it meant.

Yuana checked one by one, but due to panic and nervousness she did not detail in looking. He only saw the cover of the letters, and then his eyes were fixed on a long folded paper. He chose to read the writing because maybe the information he wanted was there.

Yuana began to read and her body began to goosebumps with every sentence, and her hands immediately weakened and the paper in her hands slipped off as she read the inscription "Edinburgh, Tristan da Cunha."

As a person who has intelligence above average, he knows what the name of the place above
