The Wrong Way to Love a Psychopath
Chapter 28 Family

Today Anika the arrival of her best friend since Junior High. He is the only friend who has freed him from his dark life when he was abused by his father. Thanks to the quote obtained from his best friend, he can dare to get out of the house.

"Greetings, my name is Bora Eve. Anika's best friend since Junior." Bora introduces herself to Yaslan.

"Let's go in! Anika often tells about you."

Anika was very happy with her best friend's presence. Since they hadn't seen each other for a long time, there was so much they talked about. Seeing his wife's joy, Yaslan became relieved. Lately Anika started having nightmares again. Even though the night shift is increasing. He had thought to reject it, but was opposed by Anika who prioritized Yaslan's study in order to be completed quickly.

"Do you know about the serial murders that have recently befallen black market businesses?"

Anika shook her head hearing the new information she got from Bora. His best friend was indeed interested in things that smelled of mystery and murder.

"Now it's a scene! He said many of them were reported missing. Even the police station once sent packages containing pieces of their bodies."

"What is it?!" Yaslan who was preparing food had stolen their conversation.

Since their kidnapping case, Anika and Yaslan have rarely watched the news on television. They are afraid of prolonged trauma, thus avoiding things that smell of violence.

"Let's eat!" take Anika to see her husband has finished cooking and is arranging the dining table.

"Is this all Yaslan's sister made?"

On the table are beautifully decorated foods such as menu dishes at five-star restaurants.

"Almost every day she cooks like this! And the cooking is all delicious!" Anika praised her husband who started to blush in embarrassment.

"It's just a habit, it's just a hobby" he answered a little misbehaving.

After the meal, Yaslan cleaned the table and washed the dishes. He told Anika to relax with her best friend.

"Your husband is very good." This time it was Bora's turn to praise her best friend's husband.

"He's always been like that." Anika replied looking proud.

"I wish I could find the right father for my baby."

Anika was surprised to hear the confession of her best friend. "Are you pregnant?"

"My future husband suddenly just ran away. So I have to be ready to be a single mother." Bora felt her still-unlarge stomach. He did not seem to have any regrets or grudges.

Anika doesn't know what to say. She was a little surprised her best friend was confident to have a child before marriage. He would never want to be in that position.

"You're tearing? Who knows you'll catch it soon." asked Bora a little joking.

Because Anika actually does not want to have children, she wants to reject it. But he had heard that pregnant women are prone to stress. He did not want to disappoint his friend.

Bora showed her slightly enlarged stomach and stroked it. "I hope he will be a good boy and grow up healthy."

Anika stroked him, but he felt disgusted.

"Are you pregnant? How many months has it been?" Yaslan rejoined them. He feels excited about Bora's pregnancy and hopes his wife is hooked on having children as well.

But Anika was silent from earlier.

After a long conversation, Yaslan and Anika take Bora to the station. Anika hugged him before saying goodbye. He hopes to see his best friend again and promises to visit Bora one day.

"What's up, Yang?" yaslan asked who realized his wife had become more silent as they were in the car heading home. "You seem less excited."

Anika replied that she wanted to go home because she was tired.

The night of the nightmare became more intense. He dreams of a dark past he's wanted to forget. When he woke up, he forgot.

There is a dark past that he really wants to forget and bury deeply. He felt that he had erased those memories, but his body seemed to remember them.

Whenever Yaslan had to watch the night, Anika always wore Kairi's hoddie. She became the wear of it when she felt bad.

"Your fashion sense's changed, Yang?" yaslan asked to see his wife getting more and more hoddie at home.

Anika shook her head. "It feels more comfortable to wear loose clothing."

Usually Anika likes to wear shorts and T-shirts at home. If out of jeans or skirt she always pairs with a T-shirt that takes off.

"By the way, my mom called me yesterday. Your mother."

Anika was looking at hearing her mother called.

His expression of dislike began to appear. Anika knows she hates her father, who harasses her every night. But he just realized he hates his wicked mother more.

Her mother, who knew her son had been raped by her husband, remained silent and blamed him instead.

"Actually I wish I could make up with you. That's why I'm taking them for recreation together."

"Why?!" Anika did not believe what Yaslan said. "Why don't you ask me first?!"

Yaslan was shocked to see his wife's reaction. "I just want you to have a good relationship with your family. You should respect them because they're your parents."

Anika started to hold her stomach again. He never wanted to think about his parents, and thought forgetting them was the only way to forgive what they had done.

But Yaslan doesn't seem to understand. Of course he doesn't understand, he doesn't know anything about himself.

"You think all the families in this world are happy families?"

"I know for sure every family has their own problems. That's why I just want to help you mend your relationship."

"Do you know what's going on in my family?" Anika knows Yaslan's good intentions to help her. But he's upset with her who doesn't know anything but wants to be a hero.

"Your mom says really, that you're an unruly kid who likes to fight."

What's?!

"You should have realized, you're an adult now, Yang. It's no longer ABG's son who's still unstable."

Anika can't believe her husband just believed her mother's bullies and now blames her without hearing her story. He had always been covering up his family's disgrace from Yaslan, but now it was misunderstood.

"Your mother must love you. Mother's love is sincere. Your father must have been."

His words now sound like nonsense. Anika no longer wants to hear more than this. He was afraid that he would have to remember everything again. He feared his greatest trauma would return.

"Don't get in touch with my parents anymore." pinta Anika. For a while this was all he could ask for.

"Oh yeah, we don't need recreation with them. But I can't believe you don't have this feeling."

Stop talking! "I have no feelings."

"Have you changed because of that jerk? He's the one who's been manipulating you to hate old people, huh?"

Anika can't believe Yaslan keeps talking as if she knows everything. "I used to be like this."

"You treat your parents like enemies. You should return their favor for raising you."

Stop talking!!

"Darling, try to forget the past and look ahead. After all, you are family. You are their flesh and blood. That blood connection can't break to death."

"SILENCE!!"

His breathing was tight and his body was limp. Anika fell.

The most bitter experience he wanted to forget came to the surface. The feelings of guilt that once haunted him, the greatest trauma that resulted from his other trauma, flowed profusely into his memory.

He curled up on the floor holding his stomach in pain.

"Anger!" Yaslan called an ambulance worried about his wife's condition.

But Anika could no longer think clearly and continued to cry.

Sorry .. sorry .. forgive me. I'm evil...

His biggest trauma has resurfaced.

Forgive me .. forgive mom ...

Anika once dropped her womb.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Trauma is hard to lose. Don't make others traumat😇

Don't forget the support is always yes...
