The Woman Who Was Hurt
Part 56 | Painful Love

A teenage girl ran while carrying her backpack, he is pursued by his own father who is a drunkard and a bookie who wants to risk his daughter for a myriad of liquor that has been his candlestick for years.

"Rifa! Stop you, bad boy!" it was the father who frightened Rifa and continued to speed her up.

"Hiks hyks, I don't want to... Bad dad, hiks." Rifa repeatedly said that sentence with a trembling voice.

Rifa, who was 17 years old at the time, had been getting violence from her father since her mother left home to marry another man.

"Rifa! Where're you?!"

"If you go home, I will punish you without mercy! After that dad will sell you," the father threatened with a bitter laugh. Rifa was getting scared her whole body was goosebumps and trembling.

"Hiks, I'm afraid... Bad father, I don't want to go home" muttered Rifa softly while hiding behind a stone fence.

Suddenly a handsome-looking teenage boy in an ash-white uniform came up to him and squatted right next to him.

"Why you?" tanyanya saw a lot of bruises on the face as well as on Rifa's arm.

"Who are you?" Instead of answering Rifa asked back.

"Know me Devan, Devano. You?"

"Rifa," replied Rifa with her feeble voice that made Devano pity.

"You why? Your eyes are puffy and look, in your body a lot of bruises. Wh who? Who could beat a girl your age?" devano asked with a worried look that Rifa would continue to remember at any moment.

Tests....

Tears Rifa shed soaked her unkempt shabby face, only this time Rifa felt how it felt to be worried by someone. At last, Rifa felt that Devano was her angel, her protector, and also the first person to make her feel meaningful.

"Where don't you go, I want to buy ointment at the pharmacy to treat your wound," said Devano.

But Rifa instead prevented Devano by holding firmly the teenage boy's arm.

"Can I come?" the question sounds more like a request.

Feeling sorry for Devano nodded and bowed his body in front of Rifa.

"Let's go up to my back," Devano's orders were timidly obeyed by Rifa as well.

"Well, you're so light, surely you don't eat well?" said Devano who suspected that the girl he was carrying was not to never eat until her weight was very light.

"Abis buy ointment, we eat yuk meatballs? Wanna don't?" tawar Devano who was met with an enthusiastic nod by Rifa who had never eaten a meatball.

During this time Rifa teenagers can only see others eating meatballs without being able to taste it directly because she does not have enough money to buy it.

And Devano was the first to make him feel how good it is to eat meatballs, not only that Devano also treated the bruises on his face and arms with great care.

"Don't cry anymore yes, you're already great, you know," entertained Devano after finishing treating bruises Rifa.

"I'm afraid my father would sell me to get his favorite liquor. I'm scared, hiks. I don't want to be a comfort woman, torment me, I don't want to!" rifa said while crying as she pleased.

Devano stretched out his arms and Rifa hugged the body of the teenage boy tightly.

"You won't be that kind of woman, I promise you I'll help you as much as I can, I promise."

Starting from the pity of Devano when Rifa finally fell in love so he became obsessed with having Devano forever.

Tests. Tests. Tests.

Rifa's tears fell down her cheeks and her prisoner's uniform, The woman who is currently languishing in prison can not resist crying when recalling the beautiful memories with Devano that until anytime will never be forgotten.

"My whole life, I've only been able to love you, Dev. Even in this vast world I only see you, for my heart and mind are filled only with you...."

"But why Dev? Why have you changed? You who used to care so much and love me so much now even throw me into a place that reminds me most of my painful past, why can you be this long, Devan?" lirih Rifa whose heart was now severely injured.

While in other places Aisyah was surprised and happy when small children ran up to her who was standing in her yard.

The little children each gave Aisyah a packet of Lays tied with a beautiful ribbon in light blue, Aisyah's favorite color.

"Thank you, yes" Aisyah told one of the unnamed girls.

"Tell her thanks to the handsome om aja kak," replied the boy who made Aisyah confused.

"Om handsome?"

"Yes, because the handsome om who asked me the same friends gave this all to brother," replied the boy who made Aisyah curious actually who had given her such a sweet surprise.

"Oh yeah, emh... If you can find out what the name of that handsome om is?" ask Aisyah curiously.

"Who is? I think I forgot brother, ask me directly, that's the guy!" said the boy while pointing at Devano who had just appeared after hiding behind a tree.

Aisyah looked towards the direction that the little boy had pointed out and immediately her gaze met with a longing look that emanated from Devano's beautiful eyes.

Time seemed to stop leaving a soft, soothing sigh in the hearts of Devano and Aisyah. A smile of relief was engraved on the lips of the ex-husband, they could not cover the joy because they finally managed to get rid of the thorn that had hurt them very deeply.

"Assalamualaikum, Aisha." Devano greeted Aisyah with greetings.

"Wa'alaikumsalam," replied Aisyah who then lowered her head to hide the smile on her ranum lips.

Devano gestured for the little boy to leave and was immediately responded with responsiveness. Then Devano approached Aisyah and offered a bouquet of flowers containing Lays, Aisyah's favorite seaweed flavor.

"I'm sorry, I'm late for the gift" Devano said.

Aisyah shook her head slowly and then received a bouquet of flowers containing her favorite chips while smiling haru.

"I'm glad you still remember this very special little thing for me" said Aisyah with teary eyes, but not because she was sad but because she was moved.

"Before I left you ever asked to buy chips as your birthday gift, unfortunately at that time I did not have time to fulfill your request, so today there is a chance, I want to give you that gift to fulfill your request, Aisyah."

"Thank you, thank you for the card, and also thank you for struggling and coming home in perfect condition."

"Now is the time for us to find the whereabouts of our daughter," said Aisyah with a full-fledged trembling voice.
