LOVE AND BETRAYAL
TRAP PART 1

The night is getting late. Crickets sound like each other. The sound of the night bird, was heard breaking the silence of the night. It makes me feel scared and my hair stands up. Anyone who is not familiar with the atmosphere of the night like this, will definitely not be able to sleep well.

So did Damian. Although, he had tried to close his eyes, but still the night atmosphere at Vera's house gave him goosebumps. It might also be because he was unfamiliar with a room that did not belong to him.

Damian rushed out to find someone he could stay up late with. However, the lights inside Vera's house were only a few turned on. So as to make the night atmosphere increasingly look quiet and dim.

Damian's eyes looked at the corners of the house. Black shadows begin to appear in Damian's view. As if, they were trying to get close and were about to pounce on him. Damian's body began to tremble and his heart was pounding irregularly.

Damian's heart stopped beating when a hand touched his arm. His legs were limp and his body sat on the floor. Suddenly the lights were bright.

"Damian, what's wrong?" vera asked in shock to see Damian sitting on the floor.

"I ..," Damian replied nervously so speechless.

Vera helps Damian stand up and breaks him back into his room. Vera immediately got her some water, then helped Damian drink the water that Vera had brought. Damian still looked shocked.

As it turns out, Damian has a childhood trauma that not everyone knows about. At the time, Damian was 7 years old. While on vacation to Damian's villa, Damian gets lost while playing hide-and-seek with his brothers.

Damian then meets a woman who turns out to be mentally disturbed. He considers Damian as his missing son. The woman then locked Damian in a dark room without a single spotlight.

Not only that, the woman also scares Damian, with a black shadowy ghost who likes to pounce on mischievous children. Although Damian eventually found his parents, but the trauma was still attached to Damian's heart until adulthood.

Damian suddenly hugged Vera. Vera is shocked and tries to let go of Damian's embrace.

"Let me hold you for a moment. Just one minute," whispered Damian softly in Vera's ear.

Vera stops her from escaping Damian's embrace. All this time, Vera had never seen Damian so weak and frightened. I can't bear to see Damian like that. If you only rent a little for himself to be a crutch it feels like there will be no problem either.

Vera took a deep breath. If he is currently still a future wife of Rendra, then there is no way he will let other men embrace him. As per his words, for only a minute, Damian let go of his embrace.

"Thank you, I'm willing to be my back, right now" Damian said, staring at Vera.

"Either. What exactly are you? Are you afraid of the dark?" ask Vera.

"so. There was a bit of trauma in my childhood" Damian replied and then he started telling me about his past.

There was a sense of comfort, when he told Vera. It was as if he had a place to depend. Vera, the only woman who is able to make him want to release the trauma he experienced. He wants to look perfect in front of Vera.

If Damian wants to enter the Vera family, of course he must also be able to understand the habits of his family. Damian knows, the habits of people like the Vera family. They will turn off the lights that are not needed. Of course to save on electricity costs.

"It's okay. One day, the trauma will slowly disappear. Are you still not sleeping?" ask Vera.

"still. Are you willing to accompany me for a chat tonight?" ask Damian seriously.

"May, but not in the room. I will accompany you while watching TV. Let's get out" Vera took with her while helping Damian get out of bed.

Vera tries to help Damian, but Damian refuses because he can already walk on his own. Vera follows Damian's steps and immediately turns on the TV after arriving at the living room.

Damian sat leaning back while Vera sat not far from him. Tonight, Vera and Damian watch a movie while Damian occasionally comments. Vera replies to Damian's comments by peppering Damian's words.

Damian begins to feel at ease and begins to forget what happened before. Damian fell asleep next to Vera. Vera rushes off to pick up the blanket and is shrouded in Damian's body. Vera then leaned against the chair next to Damian. Vera also fell asleep in her dreams.

The next day, Ms. Hena and Mr. Anto were shocked when they saw Damian and Vera sleeping in the family room. Even with the TV still alive. So, overnight are not those who watch TV, but those who watch TV.

Bu Hena immediately woke Vera, because at dawn the time of the prayer was already reverberating. Vera then awakens Damian because Vera knows they have the same beliefs. So it never hurts to remind others.

Vera pokes Damian's arm a little. But Damian was too good. Vera tried again, but Damian did not react.

"But what, Dad?" ask Vera in shock.

"You have to explain to us why you can sleep here" Anto said suspiciously.

"Yes, Dad. Vera will definitely tell you the same story, Father and mother" Vera replied as she stood up.

Mr. Anto immediately woke Damian up rather loudly, so Damian immediately woke up. Damian looked shocked and confused. Apparently he fell asleep on the couch while watching a movie with Vera.

"What's up, Mr Anto?" ask Damian.

"Let us pray together at dawn," replied Mr. Anto as well as a call to prayer.

"Oh, well," Damian replied as he looked towards the smiling Vera.

They then perform congregational prayers that are imitated by Mr. Anto. They look like a small family. After they prayed, Ms. Hena and Vera headed to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. While Damian and Anto sat talking in the living room while enjoying a cup of coffee made by Vera.

"Sir Anto, I want to apologize. I decided to go home today. And the matter of room rental, please Mr. Anto send an account number. Tomorrow I will transfer as soon as possible" Damian said. Damian planned to cancel the lease, but eventually he decided to keep the lease even though he would come to stay at this house again.

"Sir Damian. If Mr. Damian is not sure when to stay at my house, it is better not to rent. The money yesterday alone, is enough for the cost of staying Mr. Damian when you come to our village," replied Mr. Anto.

"I don't want to make Mr. Anto lose. One day I will come to stay in this house again. I didn't want to at that time, Mr. Anto forbade me to stay because I was in another person's place" Damian said bluntly.

"Most of our boys come home to see us" replied Anto with a smile.

"Dad, breakfast is ready" said Vera, looking at Damian who looked happy, unlike last night.

"Oh ... Mr. Damian, let's have breakfast before Mr. Damian gets home. I hope Mr. Damian will like what we prepared. Understandably in the village, the cuisine will not be as good as in the city," said Mr. Anto pleasantries.

"I prefer village cuisine. Especially if the one who cooks is Vera," Damian replied.

"What do you mean, Damian, Vera?" ask Anto's surprised sir.

"No, I mean, the cook is also the original girl from the village," Damian replied as much as he could.

Let's just say Mr. Anto is suspicious. As long as it does not force me to be forthright, I also do not include telling if I and Vera have known each other before, Damian's mind.

"Come, dad! It'll be noon hunting. Vera wants to go to school" said Vera rather loudly.

"Yes, Vera. Come Damian sir," take Mr. Anto and then step towards the dining room in the kitchen.

Breakfast looks simple, but a sense of togetherness that makes Damian do not want to miss this moment for free. Damian enjoyed it and hoped in his heart, that one day, Damian would be able to repeat every happy moment in this house, with the status of a real family, not a guest.

Before Damian left, Damian waited for Vera to give him an answer to his offer yesterday. However, when Samapi was about to leave, Vera did not appear at all. However, a short message he received from Vera, if Vera would ask his father's permission first.

Although feeling disappointed, Damian must be able to accept all Vera's decisions. Because this is one step to get into Vera's next life.

Damian leaves with still harboring hope, that Vera will accept his offer of working for him.
