The Love of the Ex
CHAPTER 11: Trauma

"Huh .. hah .. hah .. hah ..." Mita started to open her eyes slowly.

"Are you conscious?" ask Arka and help Mita to sit down.

Mita who was still trying to catch her breath only answered Arka's question with a nod of her head.

"You're okay, right?" ask Arka back.

"Yes" answered Mita.

"Are you sure?" Arka looked at Mita and subconsciously clasped her hand tightly.

"Yes, I'm better" replied Mita reassuring Arka.

Mita stared at Arka's hand that was holding her hands, Arka who realized it quickly released her hand from Mita.

Arka and Mita turned their faces in any direction, they looked misbehaved.

"Ke–why can you be here?" mita asked nervously.

"I was forced to go into this room, because hearing your screaming voice, you really disturbed my deep sleep," Arka lied, though he deliberately entered because he wanted to sleep next to Mita.

"really?" tanya Mita looked at Arka, she continued to bring her face closer to Arka, even the distance of their faces was very close.

"Of course it's true, do you think I'm lying," Arka replied to Mita's gaze, she could feel the pounding on her heart beating faster each time it came close to Mita.

"Have you just had a nightmare?" ask Arka to shift the awkwardness between them.

"Yes" Mita answered trying to hide her nervousness.

"Did you dream of being chased by demons, until you got that scared?"

"Yes, I dreamt of being chased by demons, and it turns out that the demon is really in front of me" replied Mita.

Arka stared hard at Mita. "So you mean I'm the demon?"

"I never said that, but you said it yourself" replied Mita without looking at Arka.

"Well, just a day to be my wife, you have dared to say to me, it looks like you must be taught a lesson so as not to be rude to me" said Arka.

Mita who saw Arka's annoyance with a slow motion shifted her body was about to blur, but before that happened Arka had first pulled his hand and he fell on the bed with the position of overriding Arka's body.

"What are you doing? Quickly let go of me!" Mita tried to escape from the Ark.

"What if I don't want to" said Arka and turned their position with Mita under him.

"Isn't tonight our first night?" said Arka with a grinning smile.

"What do you mean?" mita looked scared.

Arka smiled then rubbed Mita's face gently. "You must understand what I mean, I want you to give me an heir" Arka said meaningfully. He locked both legs of Mita who continued to rebel. "I've wanted it for a long time" said Arka back while rubbing Mita's red lips.

Arka continued to smell Mita's white neck, enjoying the scent of the wife's body which was very intoxicating. While Mita's body was already trembling in fear, the shadow of the bad events that a few years ago almost hit her again flashed in her memory.

"Ja–ngan ..." - Watered Mita with her eyes closed and tears that began to come out.

Arka who realized Mita was scared immediately stopped her activities and looked at Mita who was already crying with sweat on her forehead.

"Don't .. please let me go .. I beg ..." said Mita in a soft voice,

"Ja–jangan .. hah .. hah .." murmured Mita back with a breath that faltered, she looked like breathing difficulties.

"Hey, what's wrong with you, don't try to trick me," said Arka, he considers Mita just a temple to avoid it.

Mita opened her eyes slowly and looked at Arka with a sad look. "Huh .. hah .. hah ... Sorry," muttered Mita until finally she was unconscious.

"Mit, Mita, wake up! ... Are you as scared as it was touched by me, please don't be like this" Arka said frantically, shaking Mita's shoulder to resuscitate her.

Arka continues to ponder and wait for Bayu's arrival, occasionally he checks Mita's condition and hopes Mita will open her eyes.

A few minutes later the baby arrived at the villa in pajamas.

"Why so long? Quickly check on my wife!" said Arka as soon as saw the arrival of doctor Bayu.

"Based on a cruel boss, do you know what time it is?" asked Bayu while pointing at the clock in Mita's room already showed at three in the morning.

"Don't let me really move you to a place far away, quickly check on my wife" Arka threatened.

Bayu also took out his tool to check the condition of Mita.

"What else are you doing this poor lady Ka?" ask Arka while checking on Mita.

"How's my wife doing?" Arka did not care about Bayu's question and instead asked back.

"Wife?" Bayu looks confused because since Arka continued to call the woman his wife, he thought he only misheard because of the drowsiness that still remains, but this time he really heard it very clearly.

"Yes, she's my wife" said Arka.

"Ha .h .h .." Bayu even laughed at Arka's answer which he thought was very funny. "You must be kidding, right? Since when do you have a wife? Marriage is not yet how can you arrive to have a wife. Let alone the girlfriend's wife is not there, even Clarisa you always refuse," said Bayu who does not believe in the words of his boss and cousin.

"I'm not kidding she's my wife" replied Arka.

Bayu who saw the look of Arka's face that there was absolutely no sign of lies let alone the figure of the man in front of him was never joking he always showed his flat expression.

"So that woman is really your wife? Are you married in silence?"

"Hem" replied Arka.

"So your mom didn't know about this wedding?" tanya Bayu was still surprised by the news he had just learned.

"Don't try to tell her" said Arka flat.

"Then explain everything to me, so that I know what I should do" said Bayu.

Arka also tells everything to the baby about Mita from the beginning of their relationship and Mita who left her with another man, until finally she married Mita.

"You take it easy I will keep this secret good, and I hope you are not too cruel to him" Bayu said after hearing Arka's story.

"Is he okay?" ask Arka.

Bayu tidied up his tools and looked at Arka with a sigh. "Have you ever abused her?" tanya Bayu arrived.

"What do you mean to harass? I was just about to touch it," replied Arka honestly.

"It seems like he had experienced sexual harassment that resulted in trauma, he would experience panic attacks that gave rise to fear and anxiety especially when there is an opposite sex who approached him intensely, he said, so for a while do not force him to do that, because if you force it it can be fatal to his mental health," explained Bayu at length.

Arka was very surprised to hear Bayu's explanation.

"Are you sure?"

"You can take her to a psychiatrist to make sure of it" Bayu replied.

"Oh yes one more, you should find out again about the cause of your wife leaving you, it seems she also experienced difficult things during this time," suggested Bayu, then he left the villa after saying goodbye to Arka.

Arka sat next to Mita who looks very sound because before going Bayu give sleeping pills for Mita to rest.

"What have you been going through all this time? Does this have anything to do with your departure?" muttered Arka while rubbing Mita's hair.
