Beautiful Affair
BA #15 - Hurt Each Other

With the help of Linda's mother, Alira carries Daniel's body to her room, Alira lulls her husband there.

Then she immediately cleaned Daniel's wound, treated him and bandaged his arm. Whether with a razor or a knife Daniel wrote the word 'sorry', but for sure, it was terrible.

"Is he crazy?" It was Linda's mother who saw Daniel's condition now.

"More than a crazy word, ma'am," replied Alira.

"How should we go, Al? Did you just call the police?"

"I don't think it's necessary, the arrival of the police will only disturb the comfort of the home." Alira looked at her husband with sadness, she did not understand what was in Daniel's brain so that he could act crazy like this. "I'll take care of Daniel, let him sleep here tonight, tomorrow morning I'll ask him to come home."

.........

Daniel awoke when he felt the sunlight shining down on his face.

He groaned, and slowly opened his heavy core eyes, his head was so sore, like a pounding.

Daniel sat up and held his dizzy head.

"You'll wake up at last...." Daniel looked up at the wife's soft voice, and at once the look on his face sparkled slightly as he could see her face after a few days.

"Darling, i.... Agh!" Daniel was about to get off the bed but because he was still dizzy, Daniel lost his balance and he almost fell but Alira quickly caught Daniel's body.

"Darling, I want to apologize" said Daniel, who looked at Alira with a glare.

"You can go home by yourself or have to be in between?" Alira asked coldly which made Daniel's heart ditch.

"Replace, Al. I can't live without you, honey," she begged but Alira's heart was closed to it.

"Then I'll call Ryan to pick you up" Alira said, regardless of Daniel's words.

Daniel bowed sadly, he looked so fragile now, and it made Alira sympathize a little. But when Alira recalls that Daniel had marred her marriage, Alira immediately expels that sympathy.

Alira turned around, about to leave to contact Ryan but just a few steps, a broken glass was heard.

Alira was surprised and immediately looked over. "DANIEL...!" she screamed hysterically as she saw Daniel jumping from the window.

"Daniel, don't be crazy!" Alira panicked, but Daniel smiled and he immediately dropped himself, Alira shouted hysterically and he immediately caught Daniel's hand hanging.

Alira stared down in horror, her room was on the 3rd floor, the top floor.

"Take me off, Alira!" Daniel tries to let go of Alira's hand but Alira shakes her head, trying to pull Daniel up.

"Don't be stupid, Daniel! You wanna die, huh?" Shouted Alira.

"I'd rather die than lose you, Alira," replied Daniel softly, making Alira's heart full.

He could no longer hold back his tears even though he did not know why he was crying.

"Good, Daniel!" lirih Alira but Daniel shook his head firmly. "I can't hold you anymore, please, come on up!" alira tried to hold back Daniel from falling, but Daniel shook his head again.

"I will come back to you" said Alira at last in a soft voice and tears that flowed more and more until it fell right on Daniel's cheek.

While Daniel who heard Alira's words was certainly very happy. "Do you mean it, honey?" Daniel asked and Alira nodded slowly.

.........

"I have no other choice, ma'am," replied Alira.

"Don't be so naive, son. Stop sacrificing for the sake of others, think of your own happiness, your comfort," said Ms. Linda, who seemed very upset by Alira's naivety.

"Anyway Daniel is still my husband, Mom. And .. hhh." Alira breathed a heavy sigh. "And I can't bear to see him like this."

"Then what about yourself? Huh?" Madam Linda shook Alira's shoulder again. "Did he ever care about your pain? He's not only hurting you physically, but also your heart, your mentality, Alira!"

Alira was sitting limp on hearing Linda's mother's words because it was true.

However, Alira does not know how to break away from Daniel.

Seeing Alira speechless, Ms. Linda could only sigh deeply, she immediately grabbed the foster child and said. "If you continue this marriage, then you will only hurt each other."

.........

It was not an easy decision for Alira, but she did not know what to do, and here she is.

Return to her husband's house, which has hurt her physically, heart and mentally.

Alira helps Daniel out of the car, then gets the man into their room.

Upon entering the room, Alira frowned, she flicked her hand in front of her nose as she smelled the pungent aroma of alcohol.

There were even a few bottles of alcohol on the floor, and the sheets were not changed, already dirty and shabby.

Every two days there will always be someone who comes to clean the house, but Daniel always locks himself so that his room is not cleaned.

"Sorry, the room is dirty, honey," Daniel said. "I'll clean it up." she continued, and again it made Alira feel full.

Daniel showed such great love for her, but at the same time, Daniel hurt himself tremendously.

"It's okay, I'll clean it up later. Now you just rest in the next room," said Alira.

She took her husband to an empty room next to them.

Daniel had a fever, his body was hot, Alira gave him medicine and asked him to sleep.

"Are you going when I go to sleep?" Daniel asked softly, his eyes looking anxious every time he thought Alira was leaving him.

"No, I'll clean our room" Alira replied. "Now sleep!" Alira enveloped Daniel and soon Daniel began to close his eyes.

After Daniel fell asleep, Alira went straight out of the room. Then he sat down limply at the end of the stairs hugging his knees and he hid his face between them.

Alira cries again, until suddenly she feels a soft touch on her shoulder, Alira looks up and thinks it's Daniel.

"And... Ryan?"

"Why did you come back?" Ryan asked with a frown.

"Maybe it's because it's my place, Ryan."

Tbc....
