Prison of the Heart of the Former
Past times

"Did I do it myself?" ask Liana.

"Yes" answered Andra.

He held Liana's hand gently. Staring deeply into the eyes of the woman. Hopefully, he can see the whole heart of Liana from there. There was no long sound of breath coming from Liana's mouth.

"I've been traumatized. Back then, when I was in high school, Aunt Maya asked for my help. In the past, I did not know who Fia's mother was. I don't know who my father's second wife is either. I just accidentally met him at a hotel." Liana's gaze looked bright.

"At that time, he asked for my help to get into a room in the hotel. He said he left an important file there. I helped him too."

A bitter smile was seen on Liana's face. Andra followed in the footsteps of the wife who was staring at the streets below.

"Unexpectedly, he set me up. Apparently, he's already sold me to a man, who deserves to be my father!" Liana's hands clenched firmly.

Andra clasped that hand. Liana looked at him. With an eye gesture, he asked Liana to continue her story.

"The man wanted to rape me. I fought with all my might. But, he did not accept. Finally, he beat me blindly, even strangling me. I'm having trouble breathing. At that moment, I could see his eyes were so horrible."

Liana's body started to shiver in fear. His breathing also began to feel heavy. Andra. Makes Liana calm for a moment.

"Yesterday, I saw him again. The shadow as she strangled me, was back in attendance. That's why, I feel like I'm trying to take off his grip on my neck." Liana ended the story.

Andra didn't take off her arms. He kept holding Liana tightly. His heart ached at the mental state of his wife.

"May I ask you one more thing?" Andra was still rubbing Liana's back, "why is it that when I touched you, the trauma didn't recur?" ask Andra.

"You, not as rude as him. Did you forget, when you took it forcibly, I looked into your eyes?" ask Liana.

He looked into Andra's eyes deeply. The man seemed to remember what happened a while ago. Then, nodding his head justifies the wife's words.

"Your eyes radiate love, not anger. There also seems to be frustration. You even keep doing it gently, without hurting my physique" Liana explained.

"Although at first I was trembling in fear, but it was only for a moment. As you continued to treat me well, my reaction slowly turned calm. At that time, I no longer rebelled."

Andra looked at Liana fixedly. He did not expect, if that night Liana really handed it over voluntarily. Guilt arose in Andra's heart. He pulled Liana back into his arms.

"I'm sorry I hurt you. Ever taken my rights by force." Her tears were shed remembering her mistake.

"You're not entirely wrong."

"What happened to that, that made you dislike coming into contact with men?"

Liana nodded her head. That problem, indeed made him shut himself off from every man. Even if they have a relationship, he will not let them cross the line. Since then, he has hated Maya. Until finally, he found out that the woman who could trap him, was the father's second wife.

"Did your father know about it?" ask Andra again.

Liana smiled blandly. "Lied if he didn't know. But, what can he do? There aren't. He even let his second wife snatch the treasure that mama had!"
