At that time the Semester exams had taken place, Amalia went to school early, leaving her Papa and Mama alone at home. Routine treatment every Friday is the time Arthur hated seeing medicine the most and reminding him that he was a deadly disease reminded him of everything. After being fine, when Ana accompanied him, and Friday morning was the time, like any other day except Arthur, he felt a little creeped out by that morning. After last night, he had a dream that he met fifteen people in white robes greeting him and then leaving and woke him up instantly.
I don't know what the dream meant, but this was the dream he remembered the most in his life. Usually when he woke up he would forget the dream he had last night, making him feel a little strange about that.
"Okay, what will I get when I finish treatment?" Arthur drives his car after Ana leaves the house, and dresses up as beautifully as possible, even though it's just accompanying him for treatment.
"Kiss" he replied, briefly giving a smile.
"Honestly, I'm bored, and too often it's like nothing special. Maybe I–"
"Want more?" Arthur smiled briefly, clearing his eyes. He didn't move at all to see his wife, who was smiling shyly, blushing.
"After your treatment is finished. Somehow, I want to take Amalia to the bookstore. Somehow, I feel she is getting quieter away from me". Ana expressed her concern after almost a week of not talking to her child. I don't know what made Amalia like that.
"Maybe it only applies to you, not to me. It seems you have to reduce your restraints. You know how Amalia has been since that day?" Ana just exhaled slowly, turning her gaze to the window, lowering the automatic window and enjoying every air that came in. This morning was cool but sad. Her chest suddenly felt tight.
"Can Amalia recover?"
"Amalia is a strong girl, don't worry about her, you're just prepared to take the risk if you can't take care of her" A smile appeared on Arthur's lips, he held Ana's hand firmly and quickly kissed it a few times to make the woman feel a little calm.
"But I don't deserve to be a mother". Arthur suddenly frowned. His body immediately went limp. I don't know what happened but he tried to be normal, as if something butcher was hiding his wife.
"Why?" Ana exhaled slowly and was able to convey a strange feeling in Arthur's body. Suddenly, her heart felt a very weak rhythm. I don't know what happened to her, as if she was going to lose someone in her life.
"Because I have betrayed you and Amalia", Arthur suddenly frowned, and his heart beat weakly, feeling a pain in his chest.
"What do you mean?"
"Arthur, I feel you will not live long anymore. I mean, last night I had a dream that I didn't deserve to dream of. You smiled at me very, very charmingly on the bank of a clear and clean river estuary and I believe that dream is a sign that you will not live long. Then I want to be honest with you, actually I have been in a relationship with Erik for more than four months, and we... We love each other. I'm sorry Arthur betrayed you", Ana said quietly, while looking down. I didn't know what her husband's response would be, but at least she was relieved to have said this after years of hiding it.

His heart immediately raced right after experiencing an unusually slow rate. Arthur fell silent. His head lowered and he cried. The steering wheel was no longer in his hands. He wiped his tears from his glasses. He lifted. He exhaled slowly and looked at his wife closely. Ana was crying. Somehow was it a fake? He is it. pure crying
"You're right, you're not wrong Ana–"
"I'm sorry Arthur" Ana screamed hysterically, crying loudly. She felt very, very guilty for saying all this, betraying her husband more precisely,
"Erik is handsome, he's young just like you. My brother has always been superior. You deserve him. Ana, I'm just an old man who only has a lot of money and love, so it's no wonder you left–"
"ARTHUR BEWARE"
Brakkkk
And everything happened in the blink of an eye. Arthur didn't control his car properly, the steering wheel didn't touch his hand and he didn't realize the red light was blocking him and suddenly a big truck crashed into his car, smashed into pieces. The expensive car was now only shattered iron, injuring two people in it. Many people immediately gathered to help, called the police and saw that the two men had suffered excruciatingly gaping wounds,
The women screamed hysterically and immediately took them to the hospital. The ambulance was on standby and the families were called one by one and at the same time to a different place. More precisely, the room was filled with students and schoolgirls who were busy working on exams. Only Amalia had been anxiously sweating. Even though the air in the class was quite cool, he repeatedly exhaled roughly, feeling an unusual sense of worry.
Until he couldn't concentrate on the exam, he could only avert his eyes when a teacher called someone on the phone and ended with words of extraordinary shock that caught the attention of the students who were in the middle of the exam. After the call, he put on a sad look at the table. Amalia breathed slowly before saying things that hurt her. His pupil,
"Amalia, pack your things, you have to go home to see your father's condition" Amalia was getting worried. She asked quickly and stood facing the teacher.
"What happened?"
"Your father was in an accident and he died. Your father needs you one last time."
️***
The morning was as bright as usual but dark in the heart of this twenty-three-year-old girl, she pensively stared at her photo with her father, which was illuminated by the sunlight, making her furious, and immediately stood up, closing the curtains of the room, making it completely light-proof. This took her childhood flashlight, turning it on and making the room. This back in the light. Don't forget Amalia took her old marker. This red marker was very important for this morning.
"I think morning is the time I hate the most, because morning has made Papa go away" The girl was pensive again, letting each tear drop suddenly. There was no intention of wiping her tears. Let this be a witness that her departure has caused tremendous injuries.
"Mama is the bad luck in my life. Sometimes I think she'd rather die". Her hand gently stroked the framed photo with her thumb.
"And surely papa will say 'after all it was your mother who gave birth to you'. Papa just doesn't understand what I've been feeling. Actually, your presence is enough for my life partner for decades to come. But now you're forcing me to marry a foreigner? What a stupid act- so stupid that I hate you so, so much". The girl cried even louder, but there was no sign that she would hurt herself.

"Are you ready Amalia?" The door was opened, Ana entered the room. Her son pressed the socket and saw something heartbreaking, it made him bulge and his heart throbbed in excruciating pain. Ana couldn't cry. It would erase her image as a mother. She drew closer to Amalia, who was still scribbling about herself with a red marker running along the dress and irregularly shaped. Her make-up was out of shape, her entire face was scribbled with red marker, this was done to relieve the anxiety in her heart, her disability, her illness really made her a crippled girl.
"Mom, if I'm like this, will the Jackson family stop the marriage? A well-known family wouldn't want a mentally ill and ugly woman like me to be one of them, would they?" Ana only smiled faintly before finally shedding tears, hugging her child tightly even though fear was slightly gnawing at her heart,
"Papa. You don't have to worry about Amalia, whatever happens, everything is the best for you" Ana hugged her child who was staring at the small frame,, wiping her tears, holding back the pain in her chest. Fear was mounting in her but there was no reckless action that Amalia did.
"Yes, Mama just watched but I did it, no one understands how difficult this is" Amalia smiled bitterly, pushed Ana's arms away, and immediately stood up. Now she was ready to be married to become the real center of attention, become a legend for the Jackson family later, and how his only child hates to have a potential wife as embarrassing as he is.
"No, Amalia, I beg you all for your father's sake. Doing it like, all of this is only temporary and you can have a love relationship forever. Your father's choice is always right." Amalia stopped walking. She turned her back to Ana. She laughed loudly, then took a deep breath
"But I love Jeff, NOTHING ELSE!" Amalia shouted loudly, not a scream but a statement that made Ana jump in surprise and walk quickly towards her child. Anger and disappointment instantly filled her tight chest.

A hard slap landed perfectly on Amalia's cheek, neither of them moved a bit until both of them were crying even harder. Ana sat limply covering her face with her palms, her shoulders seemed to be up and down holding tightness in her heart. Ana couldn't believe she was slapping her own child for the first time. He betrayed his promise to Arthur never to slap Amalia,
"Jeff, actually, what did you do to him, that he hates you so much? It doesn't mean we are brothers. We don't have the right to love each other. Jeff, you know I love you more than my mother. I love you very much," Amalia said quietly, holding her chest. It felt very painful. His body shook violently from the shock of what had happened a few seconds ago.
**********
The atmosphere of the night was tense, passing through the cold skin because the wind penetrated it to the deepest point wearing only red lingerie. Ana was able to endure the cold night letting her tears flow on this memorable night. She took a deep breath, tucking her long hair back while constantly staring at the moon that, shining alone, looked very, very empty,
When his eyes and mind no longer focused on the state of someone who entered his room, he took off his formal suit, leaving only a white shirt that covered his athletes. He smiled, revealing the body from behind, not knowing that the girl was actually crying, screaming in her heart, even though she didn't hear a sob, even once. He stepped to hug Ana from behind, enjoying the scent. He always missed. Ana will always be a passionate woman, even though, apart from Ana and Ana, who are in her heart, she holds Ana's stomach, which is flat above her. She is still standing. She moonlight. She cries when she knows someone is hugging her. She immediately turns around to hug the man tightly and sinks into the man's chest.
"Ana..." the man hugged her tighter while stroking Ana's hair softly, accompanied by a strong sense of love. They were both comfortable in this position.
"Erik, can we just end this relationship?" The man, Erik—glaring sharply, released the hug forcibly and held Ana's cheek tightly, directing her to look at his face while growling furiously as he spoke.
"What do you mean? Ana, it's not my birthday. Don't make me think that you're not lying, tell me that you're lying, okay? It will make me feel calm" Ana cried. She pursed her lips before finally speaking boldly.
"No, Erik is enough! This relationship can't be justified. More and more people will be hurt if this continues. This is not right, this is really too much. Go before others see you here." Ana slapped Erik's hand firmly until her cheeks were no longer blocked. The man rubbed his face, roughly wiping his tears that didn't stop falling.
"You're lying. If you want to rest your heart and myself, that's fine. I won't be seeing you in a few weeks until you're really ready to see me again. Maybe you're tired, but don't ever take a decision that you can't make. I really, really love you. Don't tell me to leave your life because I won't be able to", Erik exhaled slowly. In the midst of this situation he should be wise in speaking.
"I've decided, Erik, this relationship can't be continued, it will only add to the problem, and I don't want Amalia to be even more disappointed in me." Erik immediately went limp, he groaned in anger. He didn't want this relationship to just fall apart.
"Is it because of Jeff?" Ana shakes her head slowly.
"Then what, Ana? No one can stop this relationship!" Ana immediately glared and turned and walked a few steps and stood in front of Erik.
"You don't understand Erik, I am your brother-in-law. This relationship has been against God and our children Jeff and Amalia love each other, don't you understand? This is God's karma! We give birth to children who love each other and this lie has been believed for years. Do you not understand this is karma? Amalia is suffering from illness. Also, because of us. I realize, Erik, before God really woken you up, we sinned too much on Arthur. I don't want all of this to end in disaster"
"But I love you so much, Ana," Ana glared sharply and

One slap landed on Erik's left cheek. He growled angrily while shouting.
"IF YOU LOVE ME THEN FORGET ME, YOUR LOVE ONLY MAKES ME WONDERFUL IN THE DARK!" Erik was silent before finally looking at Ana's eyes, which suddenly fell silent in fear, tears incessantly flooded her face.
"If I can't love you sincerely, then I will make you love me by force" Ana glared and walked slowly backwards when Erik's long footsteps made her more afraid.
"No, Erik, please don't do that" Erik was silent as he walked slowly. He smiled crookedly to find Ana, who was cornered on the balcony of the room, increasingly cornered when his two strong hands held the balcony railing, which left no scope for Ana. Ana silently glared when her lips and Erik's lips touched each other because they were too close.
"Ana, I really love you. Don't make me sick because of your words. Even though God has said no, I will still be against it. I will continue to be with you like this."
"You're crazy Erik" Ana struggled when her lips were crushed by Erik. She ran out of energy. She only cried and shouted sharply in her heart. She would not be able to fight Erik with her little hands. Ana only surrendered when her red lingerie no longer covered her body. When she turned to Ana and saw someone was looking at him, he looked at someone who had quickly left and had left an extraordinary question mark on Ana's mind. That person saw Ana kissing a man and it made Ana anxious,
"It's all over, welcome to hell Ana" she said, screaming.
