Everything is a Wound

June 23, 2022, GERMANY

"How does it feel? Did you enjoy it?" said Dinda.

The sigh that made her body sweat, at this moment seemed to not cause a tremor in her heart. She could hear the man's breathing very clearly.

"Hm, right now I'm enjoying it. Tonight your passion is quite savage too!" replied this man wholeheartedly.

"Is that true?"

"Right!"

"But it looks like you look worried right now."

"Oh yes? Seems like it's just your feelings!"

Where there is desire, there will be fire. Where there is fire, one will surely burn. But, only because it burned. It doesn't mean you will die, in the end, you have to keep getting back up. After this night is over, everything will be fine again. There will be no more tears, no more pain. It's okay, after all, it's all been lost since eight years ago.

March 20, 2014, Indonesia.

(Eight years ago)

Rained down as if she understood how a girl was feeling who was lying weakly on her bed, at that time tears fell along with raindrops. Although it has been deleted repeatedly, it still. Uninvited tears, always running down hER cheeks. Even though it was her birthday, that day she turned twenty-one years old. But no birthday wishes, nor a gift. That poor girl, just passing her time lonely. Suddenly at the same time, the girl began to hear footsteps approaching her. The girl could only get up from her bed while rubbing her cheeks and then hiding in a small cupboard in the corner of her room.

"Dinda where are you!" shouted a voice calling her name very loudly.

The girl didn't dare to answer, she just folded her legs. Also covering her ears, at this time she was very scared.

"Dinda do you want to die? Go out. Don't make me angry!" shouted the voice again.

The girl can only surrender to the situation. If she was going to die soon, then she had to be prepared.

Drak!!!

The door to the closet where she was hiding, opened violently. At that time Dinda only saw her father standing looking into his eyes full of anger, at that moment she knew she had made a mistake.

"It turns out that you are here!"

Then her father began to pull her hair very tightly, forcing the girl to come out. Her weak body began to drag out.

"Father please forgive me!" said Dinda pleading for her father to stop torturing her.

"You know what you did wrong?"

"I'm sorry father,"

At that time Dinda could only ask for forgiveness from her father, she did not know. The suffering that always continued to torment him, could it ever end?

"You ignorant self, I worked hard to feed you. But this is your reply to me!"

"Father please forgive me!"

But the request of the poor girl, as if not heard by her father. On the other hand, her father beat him more and more. Punches are also slapped, and she received them without stopping. At that time Dinda could only endure the pain, not daring to rebel. After all, it wasn't the first time, the bad treatment had become a daily meal for the poor girl.

"Why are you here? Hah?" said the man began to strangle his daughter's collar.

"I'm sick right now, dad."

"Is that the reason?"

"Father, please forgive me," said Dinda, starting to run out of breath.

At that time, the lips of the poor girl were already bleeding. The girl was helpless, her body was getting weaker. But her father still didn't care, still tortured his daughter.

"Today you have to tidy yourself up, you mustn't look ugly. My treasury is coming soon!" his father ordered.

"But I don't want to go!" Dinda began to cry again.

"Don't make me angrier, you only have two choices. Keep making money for me or die after your mother."

"Father!" called the girl with teary eyes.

Like it or not, Dinda just obeyed her father's words. At that time she just returned to tidying himself, soon there will be a man who will pick him up. Then took him to a very far away place, where after the arrival of the man. Dinda will never see her father again, nor will she ever be allowed to hear from him. Actually, at this time Dinda could only shed tears, besides there would be nothing she could do. She has no right to choose, weak people have no choice.

After waiting for a long time, the man he was waiting for finally came. Dinda's tears when she saw the arrival of the man, fell down her cheeks and did not want to dry.

"Mr. Marco how are you!"

"No need to mince words, just pay off your debt. After that, I will go!"

"Mr. Marco, don't you want to come in first?"

"No need, now give me my payment. Don't waste my time, just making small talk like this. I don't like rambling things."

Then at that time, her father began to give hints, about if it was time for Dinda to come out of her hiding place. When the man first saw Dinda, he was already fascinated. Dinda has a beautiful face. Also at a very young age, it's no wonder that the guy likes a girl like Dinda so young.

"Is she my payment?" asked the man when he saw a beautiful girl present in front of his eyes.

"She is my daughter,"

"I want payment," this man continued to urge Joni.

"She is the payment of my debt,"

"Are you sure about this?"

Marco at that time began to look at Dinda with lust, at that time his dirty thoughts began to be difficult to control.

"Approximately what is the price of my daughter?"

"Huh, are you serious?" Marco started laughing savagely.

"Do I look joking, sir?"

"If this woman is my payment, then I will forget all your debts. Instead, I will give you infinite money. Are you happy!"
