Sorry

'Why did everything fail,' said Alderts annoyed.

'Hey, we haven't failed yet, there's still tomorrow,' said his partner.

Yes.

Instead of being confused, it's better to come with me.

Where to?

There you go, you know.

Hmm okay.

They went to the bar.

'Why go to the bar?' asked Alderts.

Get rid of the headache.

Come on in.

Yes.

"Hello, uncle, you're really handsome," said one of the women at the bar teasing Alderts.

Aziz also gave a code to Alderts in the form of a wink to look at the woman's body and smirk.

Alderts who was affected by alcohol fell instantly. During this time he had never drank but because of Aziz's persuasion he was finally tempted.

Aziz also helped Alderts who had fallen into the room in the bar.

The woman slept with Alderts until the morning.

Kinara who was taking a glass of water was surprised to hear the sound of objects falling from their living room. It turned out that what fell was their family photo frame that he had placed on the living room table. Kinara's heart and mind suddenly became restless and she always thought of Alderts. It seemed she could sense something was happening to Alderts.

The next morning Alderts woke up and was surprised to see he and the woman were wearing no clothes at all only covered by a badcover and the sleeping woman hugged him. Alderts, who was still confused, removed the woman's hand from his body and rushed to take a shower and then went home.

When she wanted to open the door to the room the woman woke up and said "thank you for the memories you gave last night". Alderts who heard it was suddenly surprised and scolded the woman.

'You brought me here on purpose so you could hold me?' asked Alderts in a high pitched voice.

'Hush' said the woman covering Alderts lips with her index finger.

Alderts grabbed the woman's hand and gripped it roughly.

"Ah, it hurts dear," said the woman in a sexy tone.

'You cheap woman' said Alderts throwing the woman's hand that was gripping her until it was red.

'But you like it, right?' asked the woman biting her lower lip.

Alderts just glanced at him sharply then left her.

Kinara who was worried about not being able to sleep from sleep, she kept hugging their wedding photo frame. His thoughts were muddled as to what his marriage and the end of Alderts would be like. As a wife, she doesn't want to be separated from Aldert especially with Sarah, her baby. But the marriage is on the verge of will the broken glass be able to be whole again? Will their marriage return to the harmony it used to be? Question after question kept popping up in Kinara's mind. Before he knew it, tears fell from his eyes.

'Tinnn... tinnn... tinn' Alderts car horn honked.

'Sir,' said the security, opening the door.

'Sir sorry yesterday non Sarah went with Fredericka' said his assistant.

'Why don't you stop him,' said Alderts, tugging at his assistant by the collar.

Sorry sir but I tried to prevent it but miss Kinara forbid and told them to leave.

'What? Kinara? you can't be trusted' said Alderts who supported his assistant until he fell.

Tokkk... tokk... tok

A knock on the door broke the deadlock. He rushed out to open the door.

'Daddy,' said Kinara, opening the door for Alderts and wanting to kiss her husband's hand, but Alderts refused.

Plakkkk... Aldert gave Kinara a hard slap.

Suddenly Kinara held her cheek which felt sore.

'Why?' asked Kinara.

'Why? you ask why? why can't you take care of Sarah? I told you two not to leave the house. Are you deaf or what?' said Alderts as he pulled Kinara's hair back and released it so hard that Kinara's head hit the door.

Kinara also held it which was very painful.

"Sorry dad, but I feel sorry for our daughter, that's why I let Fredericka take Sarah out, so Sarah knows what the outside world is like," said Kinara who was still holding her head.

'Whose house is this? my house right? so I have the right to forbid you and Sarah from going out just like that' Alderts said, pointing at him.

So you forbade us because you feel powerful in this house?

Yes, why? what do you want?

Then Sarah and I will leave this house.

Kinara went into her room all her clothes and went to Sarah's room to tidy up her clothes too.

'Hey, where are you going?' asked Alderts who was holding Kinara's hand stopping him.

'Let go baby, I can't stand living here anymore, I will take Sarah with me, let me raise her, I will treat her like a normal human being, not likeyou treat your children and wife like animals you always do cage inside. Sarah and I deserve to see what the outside world looks like,' said Kinara, sobbing.

'Dare you and me' said Alderts wanting it but was restrained.

'Why honey? do you want to slap me again? slap honey slap, come on, slap honey, do whatever you want to me,' said Kinara crying and trying to pull Alderts' hand, who was still frozen.

Alderts grabbed Kinara's hand and took her to her room and locked the door.

'Sit down' said Alderts throwing Kinara's body onto the bed.

Alderts went to get the first aid kit in her closet to treat Kinara's forehead which was bleeding as a result of his actions, not forgetting that he also treated Kinara's cheek, which had been slapped.

'Here' Alderts also dripped betadine on a cotton swab and rubbed it on Kinara's forehead to stop the bleeding.

Kinara just stared at her husband's attitude.

After applying betadine to the wound, he covered the wound with cotton and plaster.

He opened the refrigerator in his room and took an ice cube then he took water and put the ice cube into the water to compress Kinara's reddened cheeks.

'Still sick?' asked Alderts.

Kinara was suddenly surprised and said "no" haltingly.

Without a word, Alderts immediately hugged him and shed tears in Kinara's arms.

'Sorry,' Alderts said between sobs.

Kinara who was surprised suddenly pushed Alderts to let go of his embrace.

Alderts who noticed Kinara immediately grabbed his hand and gently rubbed his wound, and apologized once again in front of Kinara's eyes.

'I'm sorry, I just want the best for our little family, don't go please' said Alderts holding Kinara's hand and kissing her.

No answer came out of Kinara's lips. Kinara did not expect her husband to do that to her after all this time Alderts had been such an abusive husband and never cared about her.

Alderts took out all of Kinara's clothes from his suitcase and put them back into the closet.

'Follow me' said Alderts pulling Kinara's hand gently.

Kinara just followed Alderts' footsteps. Alderts led him to Sarah's room. Kinara who was surprised to be traveling everywhere but all the contents of her mind turned out to be wrong.

"Sarah, come out," said Alderts, knocking on Sarah's door.

'Yeah, why?' said Sarah opening the door.

Get ready for a trip to the zoo, you've never been there?

Not yet.

'Yes, I'm ready, change clothes, daddy, wait outside, Kinara,' said Alderts smiling at Sarah and gesturing for Kinara to help Sarah.

Kinara, who understood what Alderts meant, went straight to Sarah's room and closed it while Alderts went to her room.

With her mind still confused, she helped Sarah. After that, they left the room and headed to their car. Alderts who was waiting in his car immediately started it.

They also went to the zoo. Sarah looked very happy but Kinara was not, question after question still filled her head but she tried to keep a smile when Sarah saw her.

4 hours passed, the day was getting late they rushed to the house. When they got home, the three of them slept together.
