LOVE AFFLICTIONS OF AMORA
GERALD'S ANGER

Once again Mama Reni rubbed eucalyptus oil into Amora's nose and managed to make Amora aware. The private doctor called Mama Reni had checked and suggested that the girl rest. His blood pressure was low and his body was extremely weak.

"Don't mind much, Mom. Try to relax" the doctor said before returning home.

"Good, Doctor. Thank you." Thank you."

"Darling, are you human? Aunty can't imagine how broken your heart is" said Mama Reni sitting on the edge of the bed, holding Amora's hand. There were only the two of them in the room. Gerald, meanwhile, was talking to his father, and prayed that his father would not kill him.

"Tan-te..," Amora gnashed her forehead. His head was still in pain, as if everything in the room was spinning before him.

"Mor, what Gerald has done to you, cannot be justified, even om and Aunt condemned Gerald's behavior. However, if I may ask Aunt and still hope, if you still want to marry her da-,"

"Tante, I beg you," replied Amora cutting Mama Reni's conversation.

"Tante knows, it's not easy for you. Om and Aunt have agreed, won't force you. If you decide to cancel this marriage, we will accept it with sincerity. It's just, Auntie asked you not to stay away from Auntie. You know for yourself, losing Auntie loves you very much, Mora," said Mama Reni back with tears. He had hoped that Amora would be his ex and his daughter's successor.

The sincerity Mama Reni loves her does not doubt Amora. The woman was gentle and sincere, and so was Tio, very different from Gerald. Sometimes Amora thinks they're not Gerald's parents.

"Thank you Auntie for understanding my situation. I'm sorry for having to disappoint you and Auntie for cancelling this wedding" said Reni's hand.

"No, Honey. Om and Aunt should be sorry. We've failed to educate Gerald, and everything he's done to you. With whatever we pay for it we won't be able to bring back the old you" Mama Reni replied, covering both her faces as she sobbed. Amora couldn't stand it, hugged Mama Reni and cried with her.

***

Amora did deliberately not directly order a taxi, she wanted to breathe the air that afternoon, wanted to be alone and contemplated in the park that she later passed.

Mama Reni persuaded her to be escorted by the family driver, but Amora refused. Enough is enough, he'd better keep his distance from the Gerald family for now. If one day he misses Mama Reni, then he will invite you to meet.

For now, let him knit his wounds first, giving him space to calm his heart and mind, in order to think about his life purpose again.

Amora cannot be forever confined in grief and slumped in the dark times that have hit her. He has to get up, and for that he needs to think.

Should he just leave this town? Away from those who have ruined his future? Bad events that happened to him, honestly made Amora no longer have confidence, even though she is basically a smart girl and also has high ambitions.

Fun to walk with his eyes looking down, making Amora not aware that a car stopped behind her, then a man came, pulled his hand violently and forced his way into the car.

Amora did not have time to act too far, only to run to save herself, Gerald had pointed a dagger to his waist.

"You better come with me, goddamn it!" grinning Gerald with grinning eyes. Like a wolf that had fallen, he tried to tear Amora apart one last time, and made sure that he would make a commensurate calculation on the girl.

Gerald's been blinded by revenge. As a result of his complaint, his father froze all his cards, withdrawing the facilities he had. Even this car was asked back by Tio.

Pretending to pick up his belongings in the car, Gerald gasses leaving his home in pursuit of Amora.

"Where are you taking me? Put me down, you bastard!"
