Stay or Leave

David drove his car at high speed ignoring the other drivers who grumbled because of him.

Wasting no time, David finally arrived at his house and immediately parked the car.

“Sir, are you home yet?” asked Bella who was sitting with her daughter when she saw David enter the house.

However, David continued his steps without even looking at his second wife, even David did not greet his daughter at all.

“Sir David, whyalways Ayunda, Ayunda and Ayunda” Bella grumbled when her husband ignored her greeting.

“What’s wrong with you Bell?” Mrs. Ratih asked from the kitchen to find her beloved daughter-in-law talking to herself.

“Mas David is still late, I’m home, but Mas David didn’t respond to Bella’s words, he didn’t even just say hello to Bianca.” Bella complained to her mother-in-law in a sad tone while stroking her daughter’s cheek gently.

“David’s home?” Mrs. Ratih asked again to make sure.

“Yeah,” Bella replied.

“Did David have an angry look on his face?” asked Mrs. Ratih again curious.

“I think Mah, Bella said hello, there was no answer,” said Bella.

“Well, after you rest, Bell, let Bianca and the nurse first. You must be tired,” said Mrs. Ratih to Bella.

Bella then brought her daughter to give to her nanny, leaving Mrs. Ratih who seemed to be waiting for her son to come down and out of his room.

Ayunda gasped in surprise when she heard the door close quite loudly. Ayunda woke up from her sleep and walked over to David, who had just entered his room.

“Are you home yet?” Ayunda asked David while taking David’s hand to shake but David brushed it off.

“Why are you sir?” Ayunda asked again.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Where were you yesterday as long as you didn’t come home, did you have fun behind my back with your ex-lover. If you still love him, why did you choose to marry me,” said David in a high-pitched voice while pointing at Ayunda’s face.

“What do you mean, mas, I never play behind your back,” said Ayunda who still didn’t understand why David could be angry with her.

“You’re staying at another man’s apartment what’s it called if you’re not playing behind my back huh!” said David, gripping Ayunda’s cheeks with his hands.

“After you get sick, I can explain the problem,” Ayunda said, wincing at the pain in her cheek.

“What’s more, you want to explain, it’s clear that you spent the night with your ex-lover at his apartmentare you not satisfied with my service, so you ask other men out there” said David loudly while releasing his grip on Ayunda’s cheek and stomping it made Ayunda stagger and almost fall.

David’s grip on Ayunda really hurt but it seemed more painful what David said to his first wife.

“It’s not like that, bro, I did spend the night there but I was alone without Akma. Besides, the apartment is not occupied by Akmal.” Ayunda tried to explain to David, forgetting the pain that David had inflicted, both physically and verballyHowever, it seems that David did not accept any of the reasons that Ayunda put forward because David was filled with emotion and jealousy.

“Nonsense. you are not satisfied with my service so far, so I will make you satisfied tonight so you don’t look for caresses out there with other men, especially your ex-lover” said David angrily without thinking about Ayunda’s feelings even though Ayunda didn’t do what David think and think.”No mas, don’t be like this. I will definitely give you your rights but not now, you are angry, mas. Don’t do me like this, please. control yourself first, mas” Ayunda pleaded pitifully when David started to carry Ayunda up on the bed and opened the bathrobe that Ayunda was currently wearing by force. David didn’t listen to Ayunda’s request. David seemed blind not seeing Ayunda’s pitiful face which had tears in his eyes.

Ayunda will definitely serve her husband but not in this way. Ayunda seems to be being raped by her own husband. Ayunda’s heart ached when David continued his actions regardless of Ayunda’s cries. Ayunda, who was struggling to be released, was helpless because her strength was not commensurate with the strength of David, who was actually a man. Ayunda can only blame herself.

_Leo’s Residence_

“How did it go, sir?” Lisa asked her husband when Leo had just arrived at her house.

“Hah, not suitable” Leo replied languidly with a sigh.

“Then what about Ayunda, Mas, Ayunda must get a bone marrow donor as soon as possible, sir,” said Lisa sadly.

“Mas, I’m trying to look abroad dear, hopefully there is a suitable one. Mas also doesn’t want to lose the only family that you have at this time,” said Leo with teary eyes.

Well, Leo had checked himself to try to be a bone marrow donor for his sister but the results did not match. even though usually siblings would match, but the match was only a few percent. So Leo can’t be a donor for Ayunda. That’s why Leo searched all over the country for people who would be willing to donate to his little brother in return. but until now there has been no match even though there are already several people who wholeheartedly try to become donors.
