The Enchantment of the System Owner
Chapters:21

Maria Theresa, a girl with a hard life. Where his family always clashed, even with small problems. All that happened when his mother was caught cheating, not with her mistress, but all this time she always opened such dark services.

Seeing the unsightly condition of his wife, a free body without being covered in one cloth, and also disheveled hair made the husband or father of Mary angry. After working from morning to morning to meet the needs of his family life, and feel a sense of fatigue so great. It turned out that the payment of fatigue was very painful for him.

With wrath, his father quarreled, he beat, smashed and kicked the man's body to pieces. After that, he quarreled with his wife who continued to try to provide an explanation. However, without hearing his explanation, he immediately slapped his wife in the face and also ransacked the entire house with anger.

Maria, who was a child at the time, woke up when she heard a commotion outside. Trying to peek, Maria could see both her parents and one stranger fighting, they were fighting with their mouths and not a few also giving a hard blow or slap.

All this goes on until the local people separate them and take them to the place where the law acts. With the information obtained, it turns out that Mary's father still gets the punishment for his actions, but the two savages are free from punishment.

With a heavy heart Maria's father accepted her, and also before she was actually thrown into the bars, Maria's father had asked the law to give him a chance to meet his son, so he could meet his son, even if it was only three seconds.

Of course they allowed it, and Maria's father was given a few minutes to meet her son. Feeling happy, Maria's father ran straight to Maria and embraced her affectionately.

Maria who was a child at that time could only be confused, but when she heard the cry from her father, she also cried loudly. Even though he was a child, his heart could understand the situation that was happening to him.

Maria is not a robot, she can still feel the pain in her heart, making her cry even though she does not know the reason behind the crying. At that moment, her father was truly sorry to have acted out of his anger and so did not realize that his actions could have tormented Mary.

"... I hope you grow up to be a good woman. Take care of your views, words and actions, okay? I know exactly how you are, son. You understand what Dad means, right? Dear father, we will meet again in the future and do activities together again! Again, I love you, goodbye, son…"

Those were the last words ever spoken from her father's mouth, until several years passed, and so did Mary's father's completed sentence. But all that does not rule out the possibility if things get better.

Maria who has grown up can understand the situation of her father only from the look of her face. He felt a small incision in his heart. Especially when he saw his mother who scolded, blamed, and also sometimes hit his father.

But this time he did not reply, he just kept quiet and sometimes also grimaced in pain. His eyes were also getting more and more hopeless, it seemed like he had regretted being able to get out of the bars.

Although her attitude towards Maria had not changed, she loved her even more. But sometimes his father daydreams suddenly, spoken to also always not connected. Her condition made Maria worry that her father would do such a reckless thing again, and that worry actually happened.

Shortly after his freedom, he ended his life by burning himself in the great fire he had set himself. Before leaving the world, he wrote a letter containing his love for Mary.

The letter made Maria cry as if, she regretted never doing anything to comfort her father, so this incident could still be prevented. But how else, the rice has become porridge, and the porridge will slowly stale.

After her father's death, Mary changed. As time went on, he began to lose confidence, courage, even to speak. Because he was always haunted by the guilt of his father's death, and therefore also he increasingly hated his mother who was unfair and wanted to win alone.

Slowly, the sufferings of Mary became more and more piled up and formed a great mountain in her tiny heart. This resulted in Mary thinking no-no, she always tried to end her suffering and life, but several times she could still be saved by her common sense.

In the end, Mary's common sense disappeared. He planned to jump off the roof of his school at a time when all his friends were doing gymnastics in the field. With determination already rounded, Maria stood on the edge of the roof, looking at the ground floor with a frightened look.

That way he ran away from the roof and looked for a quiet place for her to cry. But surprisingly, he met a handsome young man who always looked gently at him. Yes, that man is Arvin Faresta.

When she first met him, Maria could see Arvin's suffering just by looking into his eyes. Behind his warm smile, Arvin also harbors a suffering that is no less great than his.

Looking at Arvin who could close things down and still try to get up, Maria sneered at herself, she felt stupid for wanting to run away from reality. He was very sorry, but that regret was also meaningless and would not disappear just by running.

Slowly, in the presence of Arvin, he tried to reach for the suffering itself and tried to tear it apart with the determination he had been keeping. But reality is not that beautiful. Instead of disappearing, the sufferer actually covers him more when he tries to destroy him.

Therefore, his life spirit was getting decreased to cause his condition to end like his father. He was out of school for a few days only to lament his bad luck and make himself intend to end his own life.

But before doing that, she plans to go to school one last time and meets Arvin. The young man he admired. He met her, exchanged stories, until his plans finally got closer.

By the time the school ended, Maria ran straight to the bridge and jumped from up there. And when he heard and saw Arvin running towards him with a worried expression, he smiled happily because he realized that in this world there was still a need for his presence.

However, even so he still did not regret his actions. By the time his body plunged down from up there, he could hear the sound of roaring roars calling out his name. Yeah, it was Arvin who managed to get his eyes back to life.

"Arvin…?" Maria muttered, then her feet felt a soft touch, she immediately turned her head and saw the figure of Arvin who was trying to reach her even though he had to willingly jump from the bridge.

"MARIA!! SOBER UP!!" Shouting Arvin resuscitated Maria, he seemed surprised by the presence of Arvin who always helped him even though the stakes were life.

"Thank you!!" Mary reached Arvin by the hand, and at that moment they embraced Arvin under Mary. He was willing to be the landing place of Mary.

"Hi! Stay with me, okay?" Arvin smiled, tightening his arms until the two of them completely fell into the calm water.

Their actions were witnessed by hundreds of pairs of eyes, some of them were shocked and not a few were amazed when they saw the brave actions of Arvin. Some of them also record all these events and upload them on certain platforms.
