Serving a Paralyzed Wife
70. Hard Choice

A loud crisp sound rang out as Glacia jumped out of her sleep. The woman opened her eyes widened with a breath of breath. His voice looked frightened as it muttered to call someone.

"Naren ..."

The shrill voice managed to make Narendra blink. He who overslept in a chair with a leaning position and his hands crossed, and straighten the body see Glacia.

The man got up to turn on the switch beside the bed, until now the room was brightly lit. Narendra approached Glacia who still looked panicked. "Shuutt ... Hey?" whispered, diverting the attention of the originally unfocused Glacia.

"Naren!" The woman immediately exclaimed in a weak voice. He sobbed with a trembling body, until Narendra reflexively bent down to embrace him.

Glacia grabbed Narendra by the neck and cried between his shoulders. Narendra raised his hand, rubbing Glacia's arms and hair, trying to channel the calm that slowly made Glacia relax.

The originally tense body now relaxes on its own. But Glacia did not take off her hug on Narendra. The woman was still at home drowning her face in the recesses of Narendra's neck. A sobbing sound still sounded from his mouth which occasionally muttered softly.

"Naren, I'm afraid ..." sobs Glacia.

Narendra hugged her tightly, though she remained cautious as Glacia's body felt fragile. "Syuutt .. You don't have to be afraid anymore. Now there's me. You're safe here, Glacy."

Glacia's crying never stopped. Maybe he was traumatized and still imagined kidnapping and accident yesterday. Not to mention, this was the second time Glacia had experienced a traffic incident. Narendra understood that woman must be terrified.

Slowly Narendra put Glacia's head back on the pillow, confirming the oxygen hose that had escaped from the woman's nose.

He then rested one hand on the side of the pillow, while the other hand was raised stroking Glacia's wet cheek. "Don't be afraid. You are no longer alone. I'll take care of you from now on."

"They hurt me" whispered Glacia raucously.

"I will repay them even more" Narendra replied in a whisper.

"They're starving me."

"And I'll make their mouths dry so they can't taste food." Narendra looked at the shady Glacia. Her index finger stretched out wiping the corner of Glacia's eye. "Don't cry anymore. Your eyes will hurt later."

Even so Glacia still could not completely stop. His mouth continued to spit out until it occasionally choked. Narendra hugged the woman again, giving a gentle swab on her body to calm down.

Fear still grips Glacia, and Narendra knows it won't be easy to make her forget.

Long they were in that position, dissolved in the instant silence created. Both of them are equally permeated with that togetherness, especially Glacia. As he thought his life would end that day, someone Glacia first thought of after his father was Narendra. In such a situation Glacia was really afraid of not being able to meet them again.

"Nobody can hurt you anymore, Glacy. I promise," whispered Narendra full of confidence. His eyes flashed sharply as if ready for retaliation.

Krisna and Eliza, those two people Narendra won't let go.

"What did Krishna tell you?" Suddenly Narendra asked.

Glacia seemed to be thinking for a moment. But then he could guess that Krishna was the middle-aged man who kidnapped him yesterday.

Glacia again cried over that face. Narendra immediately kissed the side of his face apologizing. He should not have asked, Glacia had just woken up, and he had yet to fully recover. "No need to answer" she whispered slowly

But not how long did Glacia mutter. "He said you wanted me dead."

Silent. Narendra had no idea that Krishna would brag that far. Not only was he planning to eliminate her, but he was also trying to shake off the misunderstanding between himself and Glacia.

"And you believe?" whispered Narendra curious.

For a moment there was no answer until Narendra became afraid. Glacia's slow shook her head, then spoke in an almost inaudible soft tone. "No. But ... when you remember you and Lizy ..."

Narendra who knew where the talks were headed immediately came to an ambush. "That time is not what you think it is. I came to Lizy to beat him up. Please don't misunderstand."

Glacia. "You mean?"

"I recently did a test on the tea that Lizy had given you. As a result, the tea contains ingredients that will harm your body. I'm sure he was on purpose."

Glacia. "I mean, Lizy's gonna kill me, is that it?" he asked half in disbelief.

Narendra was breathing. He untied the embrace between them until now he could look directly at Glacia's face. Once again he rubbed Glacia's cheek. "For more details we'll talk about next time, huh? I think we need to straighten things out. But now your condition is more important. You need to rest, sleep."

Glacia gave up because she felt so dizzy. Narendra smiled thinly justifying his blanket, then without warning anchored a kiss on the forehead. "Rest."

Narendra sits. His back was straight with eyes highlighting the flat glass barrier in front. Soon the people he was waiting for came. Krisna sat with her hands cuffed, as well as a messy appearance.

The man stared at the hateful cynical Narendra. "Happy?"

Narendra looked up, his hands leaning back. The corner of her lips lifted up slanted looking at Krishna. "Not yet."

Krisna's jaw was hardened. "You're a fucking child! I'm sorry that she gave birth to you!" hissing sharp.

Narendra paid no heed to the curse. He just kept staring at Krishna with a sneering look. "Then enjoy your regretful life. Want to move as far as possible, you still won't be able to beat me, Old Man."

Brak!

Krisna hit the table in front of him, attracting the attention of an officer. But Narendra immediately raised his hand a sign of nothing happening.

Narendra looked back at Krishna. He straightened his body until now both hands folded on the table. Her lips are on the shimmer. "You killed my mother, and now .. You hurt my wife, too."

"You should know what I'm going to do to you" Narendra continued. Krishna looked back at him undaunted. Let it be, because after this Narendra makes sure the man will not be able to do it. Narendra made sure the man would beg for mercy on him.

"I'm not afraid of you. You're just a poor man hitching a ride on your in-laws" Krishna said mockingly.

Once again Narendra ignored. Instead, he leaned back until his mouth almost touched the tiny holes in the glass, then whispered in a deadly voice. "I don't mean to scare you either. I'm just warning you, that the day isn't always bright."

The ambiguous words made Krisna think a little. A second later, he snorted. From a long time ago, Narendra could only threaten without taking action. So, Krishna was sure that her son was nothing compared to her.

From birth, Narendra was born as a weak and virtuous man. Perhaps his sins in the past only destroyed Krishna's company and cut off his middle finger. The rest of Narendra is just a gentle man who can't even hurt ants.

"I waited for that moment to happen" said Krishna, full of mocking grins.

Narendra looked at him sharply with his lips tilted. He then moved his face away and stood up. Lastly, he looked at Krishna before then passing away leaving him laughing on the spot.

Krisna snorted to see Narendra's departure with an officer. Shortly the other officers came to take Krishna back to custody.

Outside, Narendra pulled out his phone calling someone. "I'll be back, on condition ..."

Vienna turned her head to and fro before opening the door and closing it quickly. Up inside, he opened the hood of his jacket until now his face was clearly visible.

Vienna looked down reluctantly at Lizy who was already standing waiting for him in the middle of the room. The woman folded her arms around her chest, waiting for Vienna to approach soon.

"Say what is the content of your letter right?"

"Yes, Miss. Mrs Glacia's already sober," nervous Vienna.

"How can it?! You said he was dying?!" shouted Lizy, who made Vienna cranky.

"N-Miss, please don't yell, otherwise others may notice our presence" he whispered anxiously.

"Fuck it all!" Lizy dragged Vienna until the body of the maid hit the table. Lizy's one hand strangled Vienna's neck until the waiter shriveled with anxiety and fear.

"N-Miss ..."

"I told you, if he's conscious, do what you're supposed to do" said Lizy in Vienna's face.

Vienna crying. "But ..."

"Do it! Or I'll do it to your father!"

Vienna widened and immediately shook furiously. "J-don't, Miss. All right, I'll do it. But please don't mind my father .." Please be accompanied by sobs.

Lizy grinned. "Sure it depends on your performance. If you succeed, your father is safe. But if you fail, I will make sure that not only your father, I will also eliminate you and your twin sister. Remember that," his his sizzle was full of threats.

Vienna was crying in confusion. How troubled his heart was, not knowing what to do because there was no choice.

For some reason now Vienna regrets having received the help of Lizy who gave him money for the treatment of his father. Now, the woman is suffocating the life of Vienna with all sorts of dangerous demands.
