Mathelina
[Season 2] SEVENTEENTH CHAPTER

A house so far away, located in the suburbs. Anna sighed a few times during the trip because of how boring this man beside her was.

It felt like these eyes were so heavy, wanting to sleep for a moment. But if he sleeps, the man does not know the way to his house.

At the crossroads, a little more towards his house. Anna also somewhat exclaimed, "Stop, sir. Just get here."

"Is this your home?"

"Eng .. I just want to be dropped here." Anna tries to find an excuse, not wanting the man to know where her house is.

But the man denied it. "No, I'll take you home."

Anna won't let that happen. "No!" he suddenly shouted, making Logan turn his head. "B ... It! That's my house."

It was obvious that Anna was very nervous, and Logan did not believe her.

"Where's your house?"

"I told you there, didn't I?" anna replied half annoyed, half hearted. "It's too late, sir."

"You wouldn't tell me your real home address for fear that I might find out, would you?" guess Logan, cynical.

"Yes! Because you are a dangerous, sadistic, heartless man who may terrorize me and my family" Anna murmured inwardly.

Anna was thinking of coming up with an idea to get away from the man. And aha! His smile grew when he saw a food stall on the side of the road.

"Stop! Spade! Shovel up!" anna exclaimed suddenly, fast enough, to suddenly make Logan hit the brakes. "I'm down here. Want to buy .. em ... bread."

"You hungry?" ask Logan. "I'll buy it, you wait here!"

Does that guy know his mind? Anna's haste prevents. "Sir, Sir, Sir! I just bought it."

"Say you want to run away, right?" accuding Logan.

Anna wails. "It's not. I mean, the bread is not food, but ... Bandage....," Anna's voice swallowed in somewhat embarrassment to say it. "You can't buy *i*tu, right?"

Logan seemed to be thinking. Anna smiled, thinking that Logan was affected. But actually....

"I'll buy him. Besides, I'd like to buy a drink" said Logan, his smile wide but signifying an innuendo.

Anna clucking. Ouch, fail! Well, how did you get away from that guy? Did he shake his head until he fainted?

Logan got out of the car, approached the small shop. To the left of the storefront stands a show case full of cold drinks. He took two bottles of tea flavored drinks from there, then placed on a display case.

"It's two, the brown bread is two, and the sanitary napkin is one pack" Logan said, taking the wallet from his pants pocket. "What's the total, ma'am?"

Mother who had a stall was confused and then smiled a little when Logan mentioned "pads". Logan was a good husband because he bought important things for his wife.

After paying for all the groceries, Logan got back in the car. She was relieved that Anna was still in the car while grumbling.

The fuzzy thought was indeed on Anna's mind earlier. But, the man was quite intelligent, as the car door was locked as he exited.

"Now!" Logan gave a bag of bread, pads and drinks. "Eat the bread."

"Later at home" Anna said, putting plastic on the car's dashboard.

"If I say eat now, yes, now" said Logan, his tone slightly elevated. "I'm your boss, you know. You should be pissing."

So forced! Anna is getting angry. Then, he replied, "But now we're not in the office, sir. So, it's up to me to do anything."

Stubborn girl, Logan is tired of responding to it. Better, he chews his bread instead of nagging.

"Sir, please put me down here," pinta Anna, half-heartedly softened.

"I won't change my decision" Logan said, coldly.

Anna sighed. "Yes, already. Dad's running his car. I want to go home because I'm sleepy."

Logan turned his head, putting on a pesky face. "Who dare to rule me? No girlfriend, no wife."

Anna threw away her face, folding both her hands. "Although I am the wife of the Father, I will also not be able to command the Father" he chirped very slowly.

Logan tilted his head, trying to look at Anna's face. "What did you say?"

Anna nodded and looked quickly. "Ng .. does not exist!" he said quickly, then grinned to reassure the man.

Bread and drink were devoured by Logan. Now, he started the engine, then drove it slowly because Anna told me that her house was near the compound.

Anna pointed to a small blue-fenced house without a terrace.

"You live here?" ask Logan, skeptics.

Anna was bearded, but the look on her face was unconvincing. "I live here. Do you think my dad lives in a luxury home? I'm not a rich man."

"Well you dare to cheat me that night?" quick sindir Logan.

Again! Anna's ear was hot. Yeah, nevermind. He will hear it one last time today. It was enough to hear his accusations that he had spoken so many times.

Anna opened the car door. "Thank you for the ride" Anna said, her tone somewhat insinuating. Then, he got out of the car, limping towards the fence.

"Yes, already. You go in there!" logan.

Anna smiled, trying to contain her frustration. "Yes, I'm going in. Please drive the car, and be careful on the road, yes."

"All right." Logan relented, then turned on the car engine but was not immediately launched. He said to Anna before he left, "Remember. Although I have no evidence of your involvement in the events of that night, it does not mean that you are free. I will keep an eye on you!"

"Yes, yes, yes," Anna said exasperatedly as she looked away. You pinch!

Finally, the man left. Anna stands there, making sure Logan's car is away. Anna sighed, Logan's car disappearing behind the corner turn.

The sound of barking dogs could be heard from this house. Anna was shocked while looking. "What a shock!"

The dog barked again, causing Anna to panic. Rather than being mistaken for a mutual thief, Anna hurriedly went from this place to her house which was located about 100 meters from this house.

When he got home, there was only my mom sitting on the couch with the TV on. Before approaching her, Anna tried to walk normally and covered her bumpy forehead with bangs.

Anna walked slowly to her mother. Looking closely, Anna snorted. "Hm ... Habits, Mama. It's TV, but it's sleeping."

And Anna turned off the TV and woke the mother by patting her shoulder gently.

"Ma, if you want to sleep, just in the bedroom" Anna said.

Her mother gasped, looking at her daughter. "Have you come home, son?" Then, he gave his hand to be shaken by Anna.

Anna smiled gently. "Waiting for Anna? Anna said not to wait. Anna has a spare key."

"Yes, already. Mama wants to sleep in the room" said Mama as she moved from the sofa. "You rest there too."

Anna embraces her mother. The two walked together out of the living room. But who can hide something from their mother? Her mother suspected seeing Anna's limping path.

"Why you?" mama asked, watching Anna's feet.

Anna nodded, panicking. "Ec ... It's okay—" he replied rather hanging.

"Come, sit. Here, Mama's a pijitin." Mom pulls Anna's hand, takes her to the couch.

"No, Ma. I'm fine," Anna refused, holding back her steps.

But Mama kept forcing. Mama presses Anna's shoulder to sit on the sofa, while the woman takes a massage.

Mama came back with a scrape drug. As she was about to pour the oil, Anna prevented her from taking the bottle from her hand.

"Let me just massage my legs. Mama take a break."

Mama did not force. So, Anna was allowed to massage her ankles while applying rubbing oil.

"Why is this so?" ask mama, worried.

Anna rolled her eyes, thinking. "Em .. I slipped in the bathroom."

"Eat it, you be careful" exclaimed Mama, accidentally hitting Anna's aching leg.

Suddenly, Anna screamed in pain. Mom was shocked, then panicked. Her mother apologized to Anna many times for her unintentionality in doing so.

🍀

Logan, Kenan, and Evan step into a room. Evan said that the owner of Trijaya Group wanted to meet with him about the deal he had offered.

"Good morning, Mr. Edo," said Logan, reaching out and shaking the middle-aged man's hand.

"Good morning, Mr. Logan," replied the man.

Logan invited his guests to sit down. Evan immediately pulled out a file, which was then placed on the table.

"This is a breakdown of the former sugar mill's soil" Logan said.

"Ec ... Why would you want to sell it?" ask Mr. Edo, after discussing the file with a man who is suspected of being a believer.

"Because the factory was—" Logan's phone call made him stop talking.

Logan asked for permission to check for incoming messages containing a video from an unknown number.

"What video is this?" he murmured, will press the "play" button". However, his movements came to a halt while reading the message that appeared under the video.

"If you don't want your scandalous video with this woman to be spread, then you must comply with my request."

Logan. Scandal video? Don't-don't video....

"Sorry, Mr. Edo. I want to go out for a while" he said, asking for permission.

Everyone looked at each other confused. They could see a frown of anxiety on Logan's face, like there was a problem on him.

Logan moved away from the place, hiding in a room towards the emergency exit. His breathing was severed, nervous, and tense.

He stared at the screen of his phone, with his thumb on it. He swallowed his saliva, stiffening as he began to press the "play" button".

Apparently true! The fraudsters eventually made their move by sending a video of the rape she committed against Anna on the yacht that night.

"DON'T!" he yelled, slamming his phone.[]
