Cursed Night
CHAPTER (13): First Trip

My love for you is greater than your hatred for me and it is more than enough to

the basis of this marriage

~Arya Panggalila~

Tere woke up from his sleep and stretched his muscles, staring at his surroundings half-consciously as he was still sleepy.

The sound of the bathroom door opening made Tere turn to the bathroom and Tere look at Arya who had just exited the bathroom with a towel on her waist.

Tere instantly averted his gaze when he met Arya, Tere's feet stepping out of this room. Actually Tere had refused to sleep with Arya in one room, but Arya remained in her stance. Finally Tere approved of Arya's words as long as the man did not sleep on the mattress, anywhere important in the mattress with him.

Tere's step stopped when he saw the suitcase beside the door, then turned to look at Arya who was wearing her shirt.

"You want to go?"

Arya turned to Tere and nodded silently, Tere then sat down on the sofa, where Arya used to sleep, forgetting her intention to get out of this room.

"Why are you quiet? You sick?" arya asked, looking worriedly at Tere, who was silent, then Arya's palm examined Tere's forehead.

"I'm not sick stupid!" tere retorted and threw Arya's hand from her forehead violently.

Arya again continues to wear her shirt to divert her emotions when she sees Tere's rude actions.

"How long?"

"What?" arya asked with a frown not understanding Tere's words. Tere let out a rough sigh as he looked at Arya's clever brain already replaced with a stupid brain.

"How long have you been gone?"

"Oh, the fastest month and the longest three months."

Tere just kept quiet not responding because now in him there is an inner upheaval, Tere fed up with the strange feeling that suddenly came when he knew Arya would be gone for a month (most quickly)

As feelings of longing and unwillingness Arya goes and in the heart Tere continues to say this is only her pregnant mother's hormone, this cursed baby who does not want to be far from Arya is not her.

"Based on the child does not know himself, I have given a place to grow even troublesome me!" rutuk Tere who forgot there was Arya beside him, who was staring flat at Tere.

"It's not good to say something rude to your own baby Tere, if you want to say something rude, just tell me not to him."

Tere threw Arya's hand with her stomach, then stared intently at Arya, Tere unwilling to follow any other desire of her to let Arya rub her stomach.

"Don't dare touch me ********! Get out of my sight!" shouted Tere, while Arya who did not want any commotion immediately gave Tere a way to leave.

Tere's hand that had touched the door knob stopped moving when he heard Arya's words.

"Take care of yourself as long as I'm gone, no one knows destiny. If I don't come back later, please take care of our baby and never abuse him. He's innocent, the guilty one is me, at least give him a little affection so he doesn't feel that he's unwanted in this world. It feels so painful when one is only considered to be a prankster, because of someone else's fault."

Tere turned his body around looking at Arya expressionlessly, the first time Tere saw Arya's eyes glazed over. Tere never knew Arya's life but when he heard Arya's words, somehow Tere felt Arya had felt the things she said herself.

Seen from the man's expression and tone, Tere continued to convince himself that it was only the man's plan to attract his attention.

Tere then turned to the suitcase beside him, then opened the suitcase and walked towards the closet without caring about the astonished look Arya showed.

"Why did you put your clothes in a suitcase?" arya asked as Tere stuffed some of her pairs of clothes and Tere's belongings into her suitcase.

Tere did not answer Arya's words and preferred to prepare his belongings to come with Arya because in fact Tere lost to the desire of the baby in his stomach.

"You're coming with me?"

Tere rolled his eyes panted as Arya still did not understand the intent of his actions, then stared intently at Arya and stood before Arya.

"Why? You're not letting me come with you?"

"No, I'm really glad you're coming with me, but don't you not like being around me?"

In her heart, Arya hopes that Tere will return his words in accordance with the expectations in Arya's heart if Tere wants to start accepting Tere's existence in her life.

"I just don't want you to have a reason to stay away or abandon your responsibility towards this cursed baby. If I go with you, and something unwanted happens, at least the three of us will die, it's better than living and caring for this cursed baby alone."
