The Wrong Way to Love a Psychopath
Chapter 15 Meeting

The wedding ceremony between Yaslan and Anika went well. Not many guests were invited, but all seemed happy to enjoy the simple event.

After the event, all the guests went home. Most of the invited guests were from Yaslan's side because Anika did not have many friends. The wedding reception is held in the hotel building, and the two of them will spend their first night.

"Anika's..." Yaslan whispered her name while slowly tracing the shape of Anika's body which was still covered in evening gowns. The touch of her fingers was as soft as the touch of a butterfly.

The first night that is usually awaited by the newlyweds, it is very much wanted to be avoided by Anika.

It's okay, it's Yaslan, I'm sure it's okay...

Anika does not want to disappoint Yaslan who has become her husband. He tried to stare at Yaslan, taking his mind off the trauma he had suffered. He tried to give up whatever the man before him would do.

Both of their clothes had already been removed but there was not much to see inside the dark room. Yaslan touched Anika's lips with her own, slowly pushing her to the surface of the mattress.

Although her heart continues to pound, so far Anika is not a problem.

Until the time came when Yaslan wanted to signify Anika was officially hers, her body started to tremble a little.

"Child ja*ng!! You ugly! Only Dad wants to wear you"

"Dirty girl!"

With all her might Anika pushed Yaslan's body and ran towards the bathroom.

"Anger!"

Anika cried and splashed all over her body with water.

"Sorry brother, I'm sorry brother.sorry..sorry...." She was drowning on the bathroom floor, unable to stop crying.

"Anika's..." Yaslan brought him a towel and wrapped it around his wife's tiny body.

"I told you, I'll accept you for who you are, whatever your past is."

He stretched out his hand waiting for Anika to grab it.

Anika just stared blankly at her hand.

"Do I need to get out of the room again, so that you can be calmer?"

"No brother..."

This time Anika grabbed her hand and they headed to the bed.

"Here, put it on" Yaslan said, handing over his clothes. "We have plenty of time, slow down until you get used to it..."

That night they both slept next to each other with their hands wrapped around each other. Anika could feel the warmth flowing from Yaslan.

He was very sincere, his inner self while looking at Yaslan's sleeping face. I also need to be able to love him.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

After a tired day of unloading the moving cardboard, the newlyweds enjoy their new surroundings and relax in the nearby park.

They have agreed to move to a house near Yaslan's new campus, which will continue his studies while working in a hospital that is still a complex. Anika will also attend a nursing school nearby.

Their honeymoon was delayed until they had both completed their studies.

"About the man who took you," Yaslan said, starting the conversation after they returned home, "it looks like he was arrested by the police."

Anika was shocked to hear that, but tried not to show it too much. "Thank God...." His heart was relieved, but it also hurt.

"I'm sorry I was secretly trying to figure it out. I just want to make sure you can live quietly."

"Thank you, I'm fine. It's been a long time." Anika knew she wasn't completely honest.

"But your trauma is still there! Why don't you go see a psychiatrist again?"

"Thank you, but the medicine that was packed was enough!"

Since their visit to her parents last year, Anika's trauma has worsened, resulting in her having to take medication from a psychiatrist. But Anika refuses to go on a regular visit, because every question asked, only opens up old wounds that she wants to forget

During the consultation she was told to come to terms with her inner wounds. But for Anika that is impossible. He would rather forget it, wipe it from his memory than face it.

Anika felt mentally very weak.

In the future their days get busier after the lecture starts which is balanced with work. But with this Anika can take her mind off the trauma she suffered.

Almost every night Yaslan persuades his wife to be more intimate with him, which always ends in rejection.

"Today I've been taking sleeping pills." or "Still afraid of mas." is the reason Anika often used.

Yaslan also tried various ways by inviting meditation or hypnotherapy, which seemed to have less effect on Anika.

One night when Anika comes home late from Yaslan, Anika overhears her husband's conversation with someone.

"Mass?" call him to dinner together. His hands stopped as he was about to knock on their bedroom door.

"I haven't touched it yet! I'm going crazy for him."

There was clearly a frustrated tone coming out of her husband's words.

"When should I live celibacy like this? Why get married if she can't fill my biological needs?!"

Anika walked away from the door, not wanting to hear more.

His feelings are mixed. She felt guilty for not being able to do her duty as a wife. But on the other hand he felt lied to. In front of him, Yaslan always said it was okay and gave him time until he really felt ready. But behind why did he say that to someone else?

He also felt that Yaslan only wanted to marry himself just to be able to have sex with him.

I'm sorry. I'm dirty... One day we would be disgusted with me. If you knew all, you would have stayed with me.

Those thoughts kept spinning in his head until Yaslan finally found him in the bathroom.

"Why didn't you tell me you were home, baby?" tanyanya started hugging Anika. It used to be in this state Anika always revolted, but Yaslan wanted to get used to her embrace of Anika until it finally succeeded.

"Yuk eat! I've cooked!"

After feeling calmer, they went to dinner together.

"Sorry, I..."

"I can't keep apologizing! I have some good news!" Yaslan gave him an envelope with letterhead that read Mental Hospital dr. Garcia's.

"You're called to odd jobs there! The doctor who gave you the scholarship called you!" continued.

Hearing that Anika started to feel a little hope. After opening the envelope, he began to read it.

"You said taking care of them might be able to take your trauma away, right?"

"Yes, thank you." Anika smiled cheerfully and it made Yaslan quite satisfied.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

The first day of work, Anika felt very nervous. He was only allowed light work such as mopping or cleaning the room, but it was not a problem.

After being taken around the hospital, they returned to the back lobby to go for a break.

"This is free to eat in the cafeteria or outside, as long as the same security permit yes if you want to go out."

The head mother had invited him to eat in the cafeteria, but there was a place that caught his attention.

"What place is that, Mom?" tanya Anika pointed towards the long hallway.

"That's an isolation room. The corner room is the patient with the toughest condition here."

Anika felt as if she was called to approach the room located at the end of the hallway. He slowly walked down the long hall until he arrived in front of the door-covered room with a small window in the middle. There was someone behind that door.

Anika could not believe what she saw.

A beautiful young man was sitting quietly with his hands and feet tied. His eyes were blank with an expressionless face.

Although it had been a long time, although she looked very different with short hair and clean clothes, but Anika was very sure who the man was.

"Loves..."

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
