STOP AT KAMAL'S HOUSE

Haruna put down the bag containing the cosmetics she had bought with Tristan. She smiled because she managed to persuade Tristan to stop by her house.

An hour ago.

Haruna kept glancing at Tristan, making Tristan not concentrate on driving. He pulled the car over.

"Why stop here?" Haruna asked while looking around.

"I can't focus on driving while you keep looking at me like a pervert," Tristan said.

"That's fine. Who wants to tease you?"

Tristan unbuckled his seatbelt and leaned in front of Haruna.

"What do you want?" Haruna pressed her back against the back of her seat. She had to hold her breath because Tristan brought his face so close. She could smell the perfume from his body. His eyes were tightly shut in fear at Tristan's attitude. Haruna doesn't know what Tristan wants to do to her.

"You said you are not perverted. Then why close your eyes like that?" Tristan teased. He sat back down behind the wheel.

"You're crazy," Haruna cursed. She breathed a sigh of relief when Tristan returned to his place.

"Do you want to say something? I'm sure you don't want to kiss me, do you?" Tristan quipped. His face was serious again.

"Can we stop by my house? Just a moment, I promise I will—"

Haruna's words were immediately cut off by Tristan in a loud voice.

"Not!"

"But, I just." Seeing Tristan's jaw start to harden, Haruna was scared.

"Looks like I've been too good to you today. So you're starting to act a lot." Tristan grabbed Haruna's hands and forced a kiss to Haruna's lips.

"Tris-tan.. let go of me," Haruna said between Tristan's savage kisses. Haruna's tears flowed, realizing she couldn't fight back. However, Haruna stopped crying when Tristan ended his wild kiss and wiped Haruna's tears.

"I can give you permission to go home. An hour, just an hour and you have to be on time. It can't be a second less," Tristan said softly. He didn't want to make Haruna hate him even more.

"We're there now. So, don't cry anymore." Tristan put his seat belt back on. He immediately stepped on the gas heading to Haruna's house.

Haruna smiled inwardly. Turns out the plan worked. Haruna knew Tristan's weakness now. It seemed like it would be easier to get Tristan to do whatever he wanted. However, there is one thing that becomes a question in Haruna's mind. Did Tristan really love her? Could it be that Tristan did Haruna's wish because he loved her?

Haruna daydreamed all the way to her house. She couldn't stay nice to Tristan like now. She must immediately escape and escape from Tristan.

Tristan parked his car a bit far from Haruna's house.

"Get down! Remember! Don't be late or I'll destroy your family!" Tristan threatened. He knew Haruna would be helpless if Tristan mentioned her family.

"Thank you," said Haruna. She got off and walked about twenty yards toward the gate.

Haruna took a deep breath before opening the gate. Yes, the gate of Haruna's house was never locked. When she was about to step in, Ikhsan, who had just come home from work, greeted Haruna.

"Sister Haruna! I heard that from Vivi," said Ikhsan doubtfully.

"Yeah, that's right. Em, San, you have to come in soon. We'll continue our chat sometime," said Haruna. It's not that Haruna doesn't like Ikhsan, but she doesn't want to waste an hour. She wanted to see Kia and the rest of her family.

"Yes, Sis, please. I want to sleep," answered Ikhsan.

From inside the car, Tristan was a little annoyed to see Haruna talking to another man. Luckily, Haruna didn't linger to talk to Ikhsan. Five more minutes later, Haruna is still talking to Ikhsan. Tristan will revoke Haruna's permission to meet her family.

Haruna hugged Anggi when the door was opened by Anggi.

"Haruna … Honey. Sob sob, are you okay?" Anggi couldn't hold back her tears when she saw Haruna come home.

"I'm fine, Mom. Mommy and the others are all fine, aren't they?" Haruna asked. In her heart, Haruna apologized to Anggi.

"I'm sorry, Mom. I had to lie. I didn't want to make mom and the others worried. If mom knew that at this time, I was dirty, what would happen next? Haruna can't imagine it," Haruna thought.

"Mom, I can only go home for a while. I want to see daddy, Kia and Vivi," said Haruna.

"Let me wake them up." Anggi is about to leave, but Haruna holds Anggi's hand.

"No need, Mom. Let me see them for a moment." Haruna answered slowly.

Anggi took Haruna to her room to see Kamal.

Haruna looked at her father from the middle of the door. She didn't want to come any closer for fear of disturbing Kamal's sleep. After leaving Anggi's room, Haruna went to Vivi's room. Haruna came in and sat on the edge of the bed. Vivi was difficult to wake up, so she wasn't bothered even when Haruna straightened the blanket. Haruna enveloped Vivi's body again.

After kissing her sister's forehead, Haruna came out and walked slowly towards her room. She opened the door slowly. Kiara is just like Kamal, if there is even the slightest sound, she will wake up. Haruna did not dare to approach and could only look at Kiara with longing.

"Mom, I want to talk to you. We'll talk in the kitchen," said Haruna.

Haruna chose the kitchen because only the kitchen was located a bit far from Kamal's room. If they talked in the living room, it was feared that Kamal would wake up. Anggi just nodded and followed Haruna's steps.

"What is it, Honey?"

"Mom, I will try to run away from Tristan. When I tell Mom and the others to go somewhere, Mom has to leave immediately. We will live our lives back to how they used to be. Don't you want to help me, Mom?"

"I Am very happy that we can go back to how we used to be. Where are we going, Honey?"

"For now, I don't know. I just want Mom to get ready," Haruna asked.

Anggi nodded and hugged Haruna back. Haruna glanced at the clock on the wall, the time was almost up. She said goodbye and ran to the car.

"An hour to two minutes. Smart girl, you came back before your time was up. All right, let's go now."

Tristan started the car engine and drove at normal speed. He still wants to be alone with Haruna like now. I don't know if his attitude will change again or not when they get home. Tristan was very happy to see Haruna willing to talk and close to him. He hoped that one day Haruna would forget her hatred.

Haruna's body felt tired after running from the house to Tristan's car. Arriving at Tristan's house, Haruna immediately went into her room. She put her cosmetic bag on the table and smiled. Haruna went to the bathroom, washed her body and immediately threw herself into the middle of the bed. Hopefully, in the next month Haruna will be free from that house. She missed the warmth and happiness with her family.
