The Arrogant Widow of Father Choice
Chapter 11 (Old Wounds)

Ever since we got out of the room to get ready to go to school David also did not come out of the room even for breakfast,I don't really care about it either because my seniority is only Rima.Even he also hasn't come out of the room until we are about to leave for school.He was seen standing on the balcony of the room when we were about to get in the car.We looked at each other in a long time, especially between Rima and David.One side Rima wanted to wave his hand to say goodbye to his father, but on the other side Rima also still felt awkward if it was his father, but on the other side Rima also felt awkward,and maybe it's natural for a child the age of Rima who since five years ago never met his father.And all that also happened because of David's behavior is still cold to Rima even though this morning I saw there a little different expression on David's face compared to the first day he met Rima.

At first glance I noticed David as if he also wanted to wave his hand to Rima and said "Good learning Rima" but his arrogance and prestige had stopped his hand from being friendly to Rima.

And I was so angry to see that.

Huff's a dumb widower, why should he hold prestige for his own daughter.

My heart began to swear at David's behavior with a million arrogance.

Not wanting to see Rima sad with her hopes I immediately invite Rima into the car to go to school.

And David went back into the room staring at the photo of Rima displayed in the room.

For a moment it looks like the way he looks at a photo of Rima like a father who missed his daughter so much but was hindered by something.And immediately the longing disappeared and even turned into hatred when his past memories arrived memories are like wounds so scarred in David's life that sometimes he feels tight and difficult to breathe when he remembers his past.

The past is none other than the memories of his life with his first wife, Sahira.Seems like the woman left a pain so bitter in the past David to be able to change his personality into a very man chilly.

"David.I beg you to forgive me, I can no longer pretend to live in love with you because I have betrayed you with Arya..."

"David forgive me..."

"please forgive me....."

Even now the voice whining Sahira apologized when going to leave her back ringing in her ears repeatedly.Even the scenes of friendly Sahira with Arya that was witnessed directly by David with his own eyes the moment immediately flashed in a shadow on the glass frame of Rima's photo that he was looking at.And at that moment his emotions exploded.

"Yet.....!!!!"

"Tarrrrrr.r...."

David vented his emotions and anger at Rima's photo by throwing the coffee cup he had in his hand.

Hearing that noise,the mother-in-law (lady Wijaya) immediately approached David to the room.And he was very surprised to see the state of the room was very messy with broken glass that he saw coming from the picture frame Rima.And the mother-in-law became more sad again when he found David sitting in one corner of the room, closed both ears closed his eyes while shouting the same word repeatedly.

"Hentika....stop...!!!"

It was as if Sahira's voice kept her hearing in her ear.

"God, David...."

Call the mother-in-law and approach her.

"David my son, what's wrong with you, son..?"

The mother-in-law hugged David affectionately to calm him down.

"Mom told the woman to shut up and stop showing her face in front of me."

Whiney David in the arms of his mother who still keeps his ears closed even his eyes while crying as if helpless.

Looking at the room there were only the two of them the mother-in-law understood that it was just her son's hallucinations from his painful past.

"David, relax son..."

"Listen to mother that voice and that face is just your hallucination, son, calm yourself remember one thing you must be strong and rise from your slump because there is a Rima that needs you son."

The mother-in-law's advice was to try to keep David calm and in control.

"But Ma'am, Rima's face always reminds me of that traitorous woman, then how can I love Rima even though I actually want to."

David complained as if powerless to withstand the burden of his sadness all this time.

"But son, what a rhyme in this, he doesn't understand anything, don't vent your hatred on Rima just because her face is similar to Sahira."

Mother-in-law tried to explain to David to be fair to Rima.
