An hour later,

A soft snore escaped Aditya's mouth. His warm breath was felt blowing up Sarah's neck trunk, in the midst of the tight embrace he was engaging in. Meanwhile, Sarah, who pretended to be asleep, slowly untied the man's arms around her waist. But Aditya, who was also pretending to be asleep, tightened his embrace even more, making Sarah gasp in surprise.

"Don't try to run away, honey!" Aditya hissed.

Sarah closed her eyes briefly because she felt embarrassed that her action was caught by the man. "I'm not running away. I just wanted to go to the bathroom. My bladder feels full. So let me go!" she pleaded.

Aditya sighed heavily, then he untied her hands and said. "Well, go quickly. Don't take too long!" he said with permission.
"Yes. Thank you!" Sarah replied softly. She slowly shifted her body to the edge of the bed after sitting up. Then she hobbled towards the bathroom, not caring that her entire body was visible to her ex-husband's eyes.

Upon arrival, Sarah hurriedly closed the door after she went inside. She immediately walked towards the toilet seat in the right corner of the room. Then she finished her ritual.

Her face winced as the stinging sensation was there, as she washed her private area with water. Sarah bit her lower lip with her eyes closed because of the pain she felt down there.

"What should I do, so that you can't force me anymore?" she murmured as she looked up. "How can I escape from here? If necessary from this city, so that you can't find my whereabouts anymore!" she hissed in one long breath. She was really upset if she had to bond with a man like Aditya again.

Sarah was lost in her reverie, thinking about how to escape. But the reverie had to be broken, when the door was opened from outside, so Sarah could only sigh tiredly while glancing at the door, where Aditya stood there looking at her deeply. "What are you doing here?!" he said fiercely while turning his face away.

"Wanting to make sure that you don't do anything reckless," Aditya explained casually while shrugging his shoulders, then walked over to Sarah who stood up nervously. "No need to be nervous, honey! I just want to make sure you're okay! I'm worried about what might happen to you in here," he said casually. The man had reached Sarah's side who was forced to look up to stare back at Aditya's face.

"No need to be so considerate!" Sarah replied curtly, then stood up quickly, about to walk away. But Aditya quickly grabbed her right arm, pulling her body back towards him. "Let go, Mas! I'm going out!" she yelled, trying to jerk the man's burly hand away from its grip on her thin arm.

"You're thin, aren't you!" admonished Aditya as he took a good look at Sarah's body, which was much thinner than it had been when they were newly married. "Are you not eating properly?" he asked with concern.

Sarah snorted loudly as well as chuckled sarcastically at the attention that she considered fake. "No need to be so considerate! Whether I'm skinny or fat is none of your business! So just take care of yourself!" she scolded while staring at the man's stomach that looked increasingly shaped, which she could confirm from the results of Aditya's regular exercise, because of his hobby of going to the gym.

"Why are you talking like that again? Don't I have the right to pay attention to you?" Aditya asked angrily as he pulled Sarah's arm until her body was pulled towards him.

"Because -," Sarah paused herself as she swallowed once and took a deep breath, while Aditya was still staring at her with an arrogant face. "because we are nobody but Satria's parents." Those words successfully slapped Aditya's face who immediately released his choke, so Sarah could pull his arm.

Sarah then passed from there, leaving Aditya pensive about her words.

A sigh of relief escaped Sarah's mouth for making it out safely from the bathroom. She then walked a little faster towards her scattered clothes, not caring that her lower body was still sore from the indiscriminate onslaught by the man in there. Her head drooped weakly as she lifted her work shirt up, which was torn at the sleeves, and the buttons were already undone, with the rest of it hanging weakly, ready to fall off with just one small tug.

Sarah immediately threw her original shirt to the floor with a hunted breath, annoyed at the bar-bar Aditya. Her eyes shifted elsewhere, to her skirt and leggings. A sigh of relief finally escaped her mouth when she found both of them seemingly intact, but she had to snort loudly again when she found the rest of them were also badly damaged. "Crazy Aditya! How am I supposed to get home if my clothes are ruined like this?" she complained as she glanced at the closed bathroom door, where she guessed he was taking a shower. She shifted her gaze elsewhere, stopping at the man's suitcase lying beside the bed. Limping, Sarah walked over to Aditya's suitcase. Then tried to lift it, but her efforts failed because the suitcase was heavy, not in accordance with the size of her thin body, even her collarbone was clearly visible.

Sarah chuckled, but she tried to think of another way to open the suitcase. Her eyes widened as she came up with a way. She laid the suitcase down on the floor. Then she went through every detail to find where the opening key was. She smiled slightly when she found it. The woman then opened the suitcase slowly while occasionally looking towards the bathroom door, afraid if her action was caught by the man. She let out a sigh of relief as Aditya seemed to still be engrossed in there.

Sarah then refocused her attention on the suitcase that was already half open. Then proceeded to open the other side. Then she slowly opened the suitcase, when both locks were open. Her eyes immediately widened with her mouth wide open when she saw the red sheets, seemingly piled up in there, right on top of the man's yellow floral shirt.
