Prison of Love
Help me

#21

I've been at Hengky's house for three days.

He really didn't give me any space to go home. Let alone go home, out of the room he did not allow. Food, drink, even my clothes were provided by him, delivered to his room.

Countless times I begged and begged him to go home and get out of here.

When I asked to go home, he would say,

“You've decided to come back to me?”

And when I said, ‘No!’ or I just kept quiet without answering her question, she would smile and caress my head,

“There are still two more days... I can wait...”.

I honestly don't understand what feeling is raging in my heart and mind right now. I should have been angry but he treated me very well here.

The ones I know are back.

Hengky who treats me like a princess.

Even at night, he sleeps on the couch, while I sleep on his bed. Without a meaningful physical touch.

It's always been like that for the last few nights.

This made me start to think that what he did that night was as true as what he said, that it was not his wish.

Should I give him another chance?

Or should I pretend to want to come back to get out of here?

But that night I can't just let it go. What he has done I cannot forgive.

But... Ah, I don't know why this heart is getting weaker every time I see his smile.

Am I really in love with her?

Would it be okay if I went back to her?

Hengky admitted regretting it. He also proved his regret through his actions.

There are so many opportunities if he wants to repeat that mistake again, but he didn't do it, did he?

I took a long breath. My eyes suddenly fell on the room next to Hengky's bedroom, a room full of pictures of me.

Yeah, I'd better give him another chance...

Hasn't everyone ever made a mistake?

...-------------------------------------------------------------...

“What? I'm not wrong, am I, honey?”

I nodded, “We can start again from the beginning.”.

Hengky laughed, his eyes blinked a few times, “You..have forgiven me?”

“Only if you promise not to repeat it again.”

“I promise, Naya! I promise!”

I smiled then stroked her hair, “Pintaar child.”.

Hengky's face reddened, he turned his eyes away while holding a smile on his face.

“I can go home?”

Hengky quickly nodded. He stood up and walked hurriedly to the door, “You wait here. Your clothes are being prepared”

“Clothes? I didn't bring any clothes here, Ky.”.

Hengky turned her body, “Then do you think the clothes I bought for three days should I throw away?”

“Oh... Yaaa... it's up to you aja siiih.”.

“Wait yaa... five more minutes we walk”.

I'm nodding.

I hope this time I make no more mistakes.

To be honest I needed Hengky, I needed someone to protect me at least from Andy or someone who made me accept myself back, making me re-realize that I still deserve to be happy.

Yep. There's nothing wrong if I want to live a quiet life after everything that's happened.

My mind was on a phone I hadn't seen in three days.

I hope Abah and Mom haven't contacted me for three days.

...--------------------------------------------------------------------------...

On the way home, Hengky was busy inviting me to stop by there and come here.

He forced me to go to the supermarket to buy some food and some necessities for me (though I didn't actually need those things), go to the cinema to watch a movie that is going viral (he said this instead of me being cooped up at home for three days), then to the salon.

Yep. You guys didn't read wrong. He sent me to the salon.

He asked me to cut my hair short to the shoulder and dye my hair.

I don't know, he told me to move forward.

But I suspect, that's not the real reason.

Not wanting to prolong the problem, I just comply. I don't think there's any harm in occasionally changing looks.

I got to Kosan almost at Twelve in the night. To my surprise, Hengky said he would stay in the next room.

“I don't have to hide the fact that I've been paying rent for this room for the next three years, do I? You already know it.”

He said lightly while asking for the room key to the Security Guard Post.

And like the Hengky I know, he can get along very quickly even with the ever-scary Mr. Security Guard.

I'm shocked.

I was obviously shocked to hear his words.

I knew from his words that he rented three rooms before and after my room to keep me safe. But, I didn't know he paid off the rent until I graduated.

Gosh darn. Rich people are beyond the common sense of ordinary people like me.

After changing into sleep clothes and cleaning the room, I was finally able to break down. I inhale the scent of my favorite pillow, it feels very comfortable to be in my own place.

Still like a dream, the events of three days ago never happened.

If I think about it, the reason Hengky forbade me to go home back then was not just to get me back to him, he asked me to calm down with him.

Because sure enough, if I came home that day, I might have crashed into a passing train. Ending life with sadness.

My three-day existence there made me realize that I was still worthy of love, still worthy of respect as a whole woman, regardless of what I had experienced.

I took a breath and smiled.

Suddenly I was surprised by the loud voice of the mobile phone.

Oh, my God, I forgot to check my cell phone for three days.

I was in a hurry to check the name on the phone, Ah, this is Shinta. He must be very worried about me.

With a smile I picked up the phone, “Iyaa Bebep Darling.... Don'tdon't worry... I'm all right..”

My blood flow stopped when I heard the sound of crying.

"Hello?? Shintaa?? What's up??”

“Naya... please... help me....”.
