Chapter 113 - 113 ( Like A Psycho )
Cleo looked at him seriously.
"By wanting to hit her and speak using your hands?" asked Cleo. Looked without fear and pointed. As a woman, Cleo certainly had to support other women who were oppressed.
And this was the second time Cleo had to deal with a man who had no rules because of this woman. Was she that unlucky girl?!
"She wanted to ask me to break up. Apart from preventing it, what can I do? Our relationship has been fine. But she suddenly asked to end the relationship. If not with my hands that speak first. So, what? I\'m sure this woman must have hidden other men from me," the man said without feeling guilty.
Cleo laughed at what he said.
Hidden other men from his?
That woman, who was accused denied it. And everyone listened to her words."
"He\'s lying! Our relationship was never good and I could not stand going out with him. I want to break up not because of another man. But because I couldn\'t stand with him."
That woman said again.
"Mike, please! Don\'t bother me anymore and accept my decision. Our relationship has to end and I don\'t want to have any relationship with you anymore!" cried the woman, full of frustration.
Cleo who saw it immediately stepped forward.
"Did you hear it yourself? She wants to break up because she can\'t be with you anymore. So accept that choice and don\'t screw up. Or I\'ll report you to the authorities on charges of mistreatment!" Cleo realized that the woman\'s face was already injured before they came.
The wound must have been caused by a man named Mike. Cleo held back her emotions to hit Mike back. And glared at him. Endlessly held back her annoyance. Ethan stepped forward first to make the man retreat. Ethan threatened.
"Get back now or I\'ll twist you so you have to stay in the hospital. I was a third-degree black belt owner in karate. You won\'t be able to hold back the strength of my hand," Ethan shouted menacingly.
Mike immediately panicked. Felt that it was not the time for him to take any further action because it could be that he would not only deal with the police but also the hospital. Mike chose to step back regularly.
Left his last message on his lover.
"I\'ll see you later after this, honey. And don\'t expect to get away from me. Because I will never let you go,"
The man left them feeling very angry. Cleo and Ethan then looked at the woman beside them seriously.
"Are you okay?" Ethan asked, asking about her condition.
The woman shook her head and thanked him.
"Thank you for helping me," she exclaimed while holding back feelings of sadness because her relationship was going badly.
Julia regretted her decision to accept the man a dozen times but it always ended up like this. Touched the corner of her wounded lips. Julia laughed at her misfortune with a bitter smile.
"What is your name? Do you want to go to the hospital? " asked Cleo to offer a solution.
Julia shook her head.
"No need. My name is Julia. And you? " asked Julia back.
"I\'m Cleo and this is Ethan. He owns the tutoring at the corner of the street. And I have met you once at a party held under the Lion hotel. Then, I didn\'t expect to see you here again. But, is your wound okay? We don\'t need to go to the hospital? Are you sure?" Cleo asked repeatedly because she was worried about the wound that was bleeding enough. Julia seemed very calm to receive the wound.
"Yes. I\'m sure. Really no need. I am fine. This is the smallest wound I\'ve ever gotten from that man. Once again, thank you for wanting to help. I don\'t want to be a bother," she refused gently. Cleo was getting worried.
Cleo took out a tissue from her bag and gave it to Julia. Ethan was quite amazed to see Cleo\'s care. As he had expected. Cleo was indeed a gentle and kind woman as he expected.
Willing to stretch out her hand for other people even to someone who she did not know. Cleo got a plus from Ethan.
Hiding a little of his smile, Ethan offered Julia a ride to take her home. But Julia refused again because her house was not too far away. Cleo offered to walk her home.
Felt bad about refusing, Julia finally agreed. Cleo asked many questions about Mike on their way home.
"Is he seriously is your boyfriend? Why could he be so rude to you?" Cleo asked, did not understand. Indeed, many people had a bad temper. But that man looked very bad-tempered and Cleo couldn\'t understand why he was so emotional.
"He accidentally saw me with another man even though that man was just one of my co-workers. Even though, we just chatted for a moment about work. And Mike suddenly appeared at that time. He suspected that I was related to another man. And Mike does have unstable emotions, " Julia said honestly and did not cover anything.
She was indebted enough to her savior twice. Julia couldn\'t have returned the favor by lying. Let the disgrace of her relationship with Mike become revealed. As long as she can lighten her burden even just a little.
"I\'ve asked him several times to break up. But he kept refusing and we ended up keeping in touch as usual. Mike has hit me a few times when he gets angry. Either out of he was annoyed to his friend. Or in a bad mood. That man often beat me until I was injured like this," Julia explained, felt very frustrated because of her unfortunate fate.
And it was difficult for her to escape from that man who was like a psycho. Julia wanted to run away wherever she could. Holding back the tears that really wanted to flood her face. Julia endured all the pain she felt.
