Victimizing Yourself for Love
Part *7

Tora now even laughed out loud while continuing to pay attention to Nining's scared face.

"Female village, listen carefully. No need to be that scared of me. Because I'll never touch you. I am not interested in ******. Take it easy," said Tora as she moved away back to the bed.

Tora lay back on her bed. While Nining, she was silent while enduring the pain she felt. The harsh words were still painful even though he had heard them so often.

"Hey! Wait what else? Get over here! I want you to massage my legs immediately."

"Y-yes. Alright."

As much as possible Nining was just plain ordinary. He chose to sit beside the bed, then did what Tora told him to do.

"The hard massage. Don't be weak like the one who hasn't eaten for a few days."

Hearing those words, Nining instantly exerted all the energy she had to massage Tora's legs and calves. All the energy that comes with the emotions that women have. Just imagine how powerful it is. Strong horn, Tora to the point of grimacing in pain.

"Agh ... Are you crazy? Sick know not?"

"ill? He said ask me for a hard massage. Say I'm weak like people don't eat for a few days. Then ... Why do you feel sick?"

Tora grunts annoyed. He looked at Nining with a sharp look.

"Massage only. Don't make me lose my patience. I want to rest with you who keep massaging my legs."

"You want to rest, then me?"

"After I go to sleep, you can leave my room as soon as possible. Don't ask me too many questions because I've been tired of hearing your voice talk since."

"All right." Nining continued to do her job half-heartedly. It felt, eager for him to hit the face of the young man who was before him now. But unfortunately, it can't.

Tora closed her eyes for a while, but she opened her eyes again. That made Nining even more upset.

"Oh yeah, there's actually something I want to tell you, Tami. I hope you don't feel hurt."

"I won't be hurt. Because I've been content to feel hurt while staying with you." Nining spoke in a very slow tone. But, Tora could hear very well what Nining had said.

"What did you just say?"

"Eh, there's no. I ain't no sayin' nothing. Continue what you want to say."

Tora did not answer. He gave a dislike look to Nining for a while.

"You know, the lover you love so much is not living in the country anymore. He's moved out of the country with all his extended family."

Just contact, the news made Nining immediately stop his massage on Tora's legs. He was stunned for a few seconds. It made Tora happy.

"It's a pity that you're a girl. The person you defended all out by willingly sacrificing yourself turned out to not care about you at all. Really poor."

"The more pity it's actually you, Tora. I have no love in life. I just like to take other people's used stuff. Who could be more sorry to try? Me, or you?"

"You're wrong, Tora. Happiness is not having what we shouldn't have. But, happy is by seeing the people we love happy. That's the real truth about love."

"That's what you think is crazy, isn't it? But not with me being sane. If you love, you must have. That's just a normal thought."

"Mm .. It's hard to talk to people like you, Tora. It turns out that what the woman said had a point. You won't be able to talk well. You won't be able to understand because you've got no taste, alias, you're numb."

"Tami! God fucking. You are really eroding my patience which is indeed only a little. Get out of my room right now! I'm so sick of seeing your face now."

Since that afternoon, Tora no longer spoke to Nining. Whatever he wanted Nining to do, he asked Siah to deliver each of his messages.

Like intentionally keeping her distance, Tora never faced off against Nining again. I don't know what Tora really had in mind. However, all those changes were very good according to Nining. No longer talking, then no more hurt words because of the spicy words Tora said.

But, from one side of Nining's heart, she suddenly felt lonely when the change occurred. He felt that his days were no longer in color. It is like being in the middle of an arid desert.

Time seems to go so fast. Six months of marriage they just passed. Like water and then on the leaves of a keladi. Not leaving a trace.

Six months passed, their relationship was still the same. The distance between the two is like a river that separates the two sides of the cliff. It feels so impossible to unite.

This afternoon, when Nining was enjoying the rain that fell on the terrace of the house. Tora suddenly saw a scene that was quite rare.

Tora looked at Nining who was smiling while looking at the raindrops falling from the sky. Both of the women's hands held water that was falling from above.

Tora was speechless seeing a scene that was quite rare to her.

In fact, this was not the first time he had noticed Nining when the woman was alone. This is the umpteenth time. He watched each woman's behavior closely.

'Sweetness. Very sweet. But why did he never smile like that when faced with me? Do I not deserve that smile?'

A question suddenly appeared in Tora's heart. I don't know why, he felt a little sore when the question came up. Quickly, he shook his head to wake himself up.

Meanwhile, Nining, who was enjoying the rain, suddenly stopped her activities.

"Yes Pardon. My clothes got wet. Oh naw. I don't have any more dry clothes now. Uh ... how is this?" Nining muttered alone as she continued to wring her wet clothes by hand.

Hearing that remark, Tora immediately went to Siah's room. Whether he could get orders from where, he was suddenly so attentive with Nining. He asked bi Siah to lend him the clothes that Nining was wearing.

"Well, den Tora."

Despite not believing in Tora's recent change in attitude, Siah still did what her employer told her to do. Without asking, she immediately agreed to what Tora asked for.

This was indeed not the first time Tora had paid attention secretly to Nining. Starting from asking for bi Siah to help Nining do homework, to help Nining shop for daily needs.

Not only that, Tora also asked bi Siah to move Nining to the guest room under the pretext of wanting to renovate the maid room that Nining was living in yesterday. But unfortunately, that silent attention Nining had never noticed at all.
