Love That Pain
Rise from the fall

Chelsea's return was warmly welcomed by his family. Vera and Dion miss their little daughter a lot. Although Chelsea has now grown into adult women, but for them Chelsea is still their little girl who is very spoiled.

Chelsea told him everything he did in America, how he lived there and how Sam's family treated him there. When Vera married Dion, Sam decided to settle in America. He wanted to forget his first love which had absolutely no recompense.

Even so, Vera and Sam's relationship still continues, the relationship becomes a sister and sister relationship. Yep...Vera, Sam's beautiful sister. A very tough and daring teenager challenges Dion only to get his beautiful older brother.

He may not be young, but his face is still handsome. He decided to marry an American, from his marriage he had a son. His name is Erico Samuel, he is now 17 years old. Sam lost his wife when Eric was 10, and Sam has since decided not to remarry. He raised Eric alone, he played both father and mother, and of course was helped by his parents who also settled in America.

Since Chelsea stayed at Sam's house, he's been getting closer to Eric. Eric is a very handsome, and kind-hearted young man. Eric thinks of Chelsea as his own brother. When Eric found out Chelsea were going home to Indonesia, the young man decided to go with him. Although Sam is from Indonesia, but since he married and had children, he no longer set foot in Indonesia. So this was the first time Eric had set foot in his father's homeland.

Eric was also very happy, as the Chelsea family welcomed him warmly. Especially Vera, he never thought he would meet the boy the smell of kencur aka Sam. It's been a long time since Vera met Sam, the last time they met when Chelsea were born into the world. After that, they only communicate via cell phone.

Dion...does he still hate Sam so much? Answer's no. Dion had already made peace with the boy, because for him it was useless to have to compete with the boy while Vera was completely his. All of Sam's wrongs have been forgiven, and Sam regards him as his family.

Zaki tells Veon about Chelsea's arrival, and the man also comes to his home to welcome his sister despite not being accompanied by Kania. Right now they were all gathered in the middle room.

“Mama is glad you have got a job there, what during your stay at home Om Sam, you make trouble dear,” seductress Vera.

“Chelsea have never done anything wrong, Ma. There are many people who love Chelsea, grandparents are also very fond of Chelsea, especially in this restaurant,” said Chelsea while rubbing the top of Eric's head who is currently sitting next to him and it makes Zaki do not like to see it.

“Eric, how is your Daddy?” ask Dion.

“Daddy, both Om, Daddy also send greetings to Om and Aunt. Daddy apologized for not being able to come home,” Eric said.

Chelsea looked at her brother who looked different, Veon looked thinner, even his appearance was a little messy, ‘what does Kak Veon feel so lost Kania huh? Why is it now that his appearance has become like that?’ he murmured in the heart.

They all listened to Eric, the young man already feeling close to the Chelsea family. Chelsea went to separate from her family, on the grounds of wanting to call her best friend. Zaki, who knew Chelsea had left the room, followed her from behind, and the woman found out.

Chelsea and Zaki chose to sit on the park bench, the night air was very cold and bone-chilling. Zaki took off the jacket he was wearing and put it on Chelsea's two shoulders.

“Zak, why did Brother Veon become like that? Where is the cold, firm and dignified impression that he had been proud of? I can't see it all in brother.”

“Since Kania's departure, your sister seemed to lose her spirit. He spent his time looking for his wife and also worked. He even often forgets about mealtimes, if I'm not next to your brother, he will never eat, he's just busy with his job.”

Chelsea let out a long sigh, “then what should we do, I can't possibly let a brother like this continue. He has to rise from this crash, otherwise his life will be completely ruined, and I don't want that until it happens.

“You take time off until when?”

“I don't know either, I said the same Om Sam, that I should go back to Indonesia, and I told him everything. Om Sam told me to finish my business first, after that I just returned to America.”

Zaki wanted to ask about Eric, why did the young man also come with him, did he not go to school?

Chelsea scrunched her forehead when she saw Zaki who suddenly fell silent, “what's up, what are you thinking?” tanyanya.

“Dia? You mean Eric?” Zaki nodded his head, Chelsea smiled, “why? Are you feeling jealous?” goda.

“I'm not jealous, it's just, isn't she in school?”

Hearing Zaki's reply, Chelsea looked disappointed, but why should he be disappointed? He didn't even deserve to get jealous of the man. He realizes that he is dirty, and that he does not deserve a man as good as Zaki.

“Eric, he has just graduated from school, so there is still time for him to continue his studies. So he came with me back to Jakarta. Eric is a very intelligent boy, he can enter the best university in America,” said Chelsea proudly.

“You are very close to him yes, whereas you guys have not been together long.”

“Eric is his son easy to get along with, every time I come home from work only Eric always accompany me, comforting me when I am sad. Maybe because of that now we can be very close.”

Zaki looked at Chelsea who was bowing his face, “does you still often remember that jerk guy?” tanyakanya.

Chelsea shook her head, “but when I was alone, the shadows when Alex tortured me still often appeared in my memory.If not for Eric, maybe I wouldn't have been able to survive this long,” akunya.

Zaki let out a heavy sigh, he hoped that he was the one beside Chelsea, to be the leaning place for the woman, but all that was just his wishful thinking, because now there was Eric on the side of the woman.

***

Veon decided to stay at the main house. After changing into his usual clothes, the man sat his body on the sofa, leaned against the back of the sofa and looked at the ceiling of his room blankly.

Veon remembered everything, in this room he often spent his time together with Kania. Even in this room he took Kania's chastity by force, even though she was already his LEGITIMATE wife. If he did want it, he could ask her nicely, but he didn't.he forced her, hurt her and made the woman cry.

“Kania, at that time you must have felt a lot of pain. I'm sorry, because I didn't heed your screams of pain, I didn't even care about the tears flowing from both corners of your eyes. If only I could go back to that time, I would do it very gently, I would never hurt you and treat you harshly. There will be no scream of pain coming out of your tiny lips, but pleasure. The first experience that you should feel full of happiness and enjoyment, but you must experience it with torture and tears.”

Veon took a picture frame that was on top of the net, it was a photo of his wedding with Kania, “sayang, I'm sorry, if you hate me so much, you can do anything to me, you can do anything to me, any punishment I will receive, but..but..” tears begin to flow from both corners of the man's eyes, “don't leave me like this, I can't help dear, dear, I miss you so much. Now what are you doing, do you miss me too? where are you now, do you really not want to be back with me again, do you hate me?” the man then kissed a photo of Kania showing a smile of compulsion in the photo.

Veon did not expect himself to be that fragile just because of a woman he had not even expected in his life. The woman he only considered a tool to undo his Papa's plan was constantly asking him to marry.

Even falling in love with that woman never crossed his mind. But now everything was inversely proportional to his wishes. Kania has broken her heart. Turning the cold-hearted and firm side of a man, into a fragile man. Even though he went through his days like a normal person, but when he was alone, he was like a person who lost his spirit in life.

Only one person was able to restore his life spirit again, only he was able to bring back that man's smile again. But when will all this happen? Veon was even discouraged, he was so desperate, all his efforts were in vain.
