Martyr Wife Book 1

“DAISY, your mother is looking for you! Very angry, and he's coming here!” Dellia breathlessly exclaimed to him.

"W-what? How did Mom know that...” Her knees trembled as she stood up from her chair. He immediately threw the cigarette that was stuck in his two fingers.

"Daisy! Daisy! Get out of there!” his mother shouted angrily from outside the house.

His friends quickly stood up from their seats, and immediately looked out the window. While Daisy did not immediately move from where she was standing. His face turned pale, and his body trembled with fear.

"Where's Daisy? Take my son out!” His mother ordered his friends who were looking out the window.

They turned to Daisy, so her body trembled as she stepped closer to the door. And when he reached the doorway,

"Mom..." he said hoarsely, after his mother saw him.

His mother approached him with a glare, and immediately grabbed his hair.

"I'm sorry, mom!" he said crying,

"You silly child! You study well, and this is all you do?!” His mother dragged him out of his friend's house. And because her mother is strong, she just follows, while wailing and crying.

"That's right, mom! Enough!" his plea that his mother, Betina, did not even listen to.

Daisy saw that people were already looking at them. But his mother dragged him mercilessly.

Not far away, I saw the tricycle, and it seems that his mother had hired it, because when the driver saw them approaching, he immediately started to get ready for their departure.

"Hurry up! I'm not done with you girl yet!” His mother pushed him, close to the trycle. So he quickly followed it. He might even get hurt, if he doesn't follow it.

"Come on, Berto!" Betina ordered the dryber, who is just our neighbor.

Daisy was crying, while the car was moving. His mother saw him crying, so she got even more annoyed and one of them even kicked him.

"You still feel like crying now? After you did it?” His big eyes glared at him.

"Hi-no, mom! No!" he stammered,

Get ready for your father! You will be sorry for what you did!” the more he threatened her, the more nervous she became. Because his father was more angry than his mother. It does not recognize people, when it is drunk and angry. This is the reason why now his older brother is walking awkwardly. Because it hit the leg with wood. After being caught stealing money from his mother.

As the metro nears their house, the nervousness in his chest grows stronger. It seems that he already feels that he will be the next to be crippled among their four siblings.

"Mom, have mercy! Let's not go home, I'm afraid of dad."

"What won't come home? He made you follow me, and why should I feel sorry for you? Isn't that your fault? You thought I couldn't smell the wine in your mouth, you animal!" It poked Daisy's mouth, so she just went for it.

He can't really escape from his father anymore.

After a few minutes, they reached their house. From the bamboo yard, Daisy immediately saw their house, the wall was broken and about to collapse, because the wood holding the wall was rotting. They have a basement, because their room is higher than the combined kitchen and living room. The roof is iron with many holes. Their father has almost abandoned their home.

It was getting late in the afternoon, that's why his father was already there from his work. His father's work was varied, because he never finished anything. He doesn't even know how to read and write an English word.

"Babe!" ordered his mother, after they reached the front of their yard. He immediately went down, nervously bowed because he could feel his end.

"Berto, the payment is tomorrow! I'll just hand it to Linda, before I go to the market," her mother said to Mang Berto,

"Okay," said Berto,

Daisy is left behind, and her mother. After the trycle left, his mother turned to him.

"What are you waiting for?! Come in!” ordered his mother, he obeyed her in a panic.

His youngest sister Roselyn just looked at him. He is used to not meeting their mother, especially as his mother is irritated, when he knows that he is tired, he will still greet him as if he has been gone for a long time.

They entered the house, and he immediately saw his father sitting on a chair with a cup of coffee in front of him.

When Daisy's foot fell, inside their house, her father turned his gaze to her.

"Here comes your wayward son! Inherited to what was inherited, I caught him drinking there with his fellow addicts!” his mother reported to his father, Rolando.

Daisy couldn't look at her father. The body was shaking, and it was crying as it bowed.

A baritone voice that Daisy listened to.

"What are you thinking, Daisy? Why are you acting like that?” asked his father,

"I'm sorry, dad!" he promised crying,

His father stood up, so fearing that he might hurt him, he backed away.

"Don't do it! Do not!" He said very scared,

Her father was stunned, he saw Daisy very scared. It's not drunk now, that's why it can still control itself. But if it's drunk, it doesn't recognize people anymore.

"Go into your room!" his father ordered, so he hurried to the room. Climbed the three-step ladder. His mother was left wondering why she didn't even give her son a lesson.

"What... what a bitch! You didn't even give your child a taste of the lesson? So growing rebellious, eh!” Betina is angry with her husband.

“Stop it! What do you want me to do? Should I hurt him like his brother? Daisy is a girl, that's not like her big brother!” Rolando responded,

“That's the same! Those children of yours are really rebellious, inherit from their mother! I don't know why you haven't kicked them out yet, and given them to their mother, instead of the little money you give for your two children, you divide it for your worthless children!" Betina scolded,

"Stop, Betina! But, you will be hurt by me!” Rolando said angrily, Betina remained silent. He knows that his wife is not joking. In the ten years of their marriage, it already knows the wildness of Rolando's gut. When it knows that it has threatened, it is the heavy hand that follows.

Daisy was sitting on the pallet, where her three other siblings were also lying. He continued to cry, because he remembered the past. Where, his real mother left them, because of his father Rolando's frequent fights.
