" Why did you do this...Eden? " Her blood-stained cheeks started soaking with a new set of tears but he chuckled, darkly.

" It took you so long to finally catch me. Cupcake. " He rested his chin on her knees, clasping her ankles.

She didn't know how to react, somewhere she was hoping him to deny it but his answer was obvious. She couldn't be glad, to hear him. Knowing her Eden was in front of her. Her Eden.

She had a doubt because the time she touched his face, it felt so familiar. She thought it was a misunderstanding but now, it was hurting to be right.

She broke into tears but he laughed, " Why are you crying? Are you not happy? " He tried to touch her cheek but she slap his hand.

" Why? Eden why? " She cried hiding her face in her palms, " Why you did do this? Why you came back like a nightmare? Why did you become like this? WHY? WHY? WHY? " She was shouting like a maniac pushing him away. She took a full fist of hair chanting the same question. Why? Meanwhile, he was watching her utterly calm with a grin.

" My innocent girl. I become what you all made me. " She snap her head up, her pupils were moving here and there. Badly wished to read his expressions but she could see only black color where she really belongs to. He threw her life into the darkness after giving her beautiful life. Yes! That life he gave when he married her. In that small house where they were happy. " And I'm not Eden, I'm Adnan, this man born when you, rip my heart and your father and his friends rip my soul out of my body. " He didn't sound mad or angry but calm and satisfied.

" Yes! You're right. You're not Eden. " She gritted her teeth, having a recap of the horrible thing he did a while ago. " You're a killer. You bloody monster. YOU MONSTER..." Her voice jammed in her throat when he grabs her by the neck and bang her against the door.

" I'm a b**tard. I'm a killer. I'm cruel. " He was saying firmly each word slowly. " But not a monster. " She angrily push him but his grip left bruises on her jaw. " I'm not a monster. I'm not. Cupcake. " He whispered disappointingly. " You know who's the biggest monster? " She only cried but stiffed when he added. " Your father. " Her ears felt numb for a few seconds when he shouted even louder.

" I'M NOT A MONSTER. "

ADNAN EDEN

My eyes snap open when Maghreb Azan echoed, I sat up quickly staring around for my wife but she wasn't there. " Dianna. " I call her out slowly, but all strength has been dry up and my head was aching badly. Even my eyes started watery with the heat coming out of me. My bones were cracking because of weakness and fever.

I thought she was in uncle's cottage, I waited for a while hoping she came back. It was dark until now she must be done with dinner but when an hour passed and she didn't come I finally stood up with my shaking legs, weakness was too much for me that I couldn't stand on my own.

I walked towards the uncle's cottage and call her out but saw, the uncle was praying and Dianna was nowhere near. I checked the bathroom and kitchen too. When uncle was done with his prayer he asked, " What happen, my son? "

" Dianna, uncle. She's not at home. Did she tell you where she was going? " I asked worriedly, there was no one close to us that she could leave the house to meet them and it was almost night dark she never left the house at this hour.

" I don't know, boy. I thought she was with you. She told me about your fever, I thought that's why she didn't come for lunch. After giving me breakfast she told me that she'll go market but I'm afraid she might be still out. " My heart squeezes unknowingly. But for a moment I felt at ease hearing that, maybe she went market and was having a hard time coming back.
