After the Farewell

After the Farewell
Never Let Go



Rayden had been back to New Delhi for a week and during that time the man had never been absent calling and making video calls to his wife. Kara has contacted Abe and apologized for all her actions for leaving Rayden.


"Papa's trying to understand your condition, Kara. Indeed, last year's incident made you traumatized let alone have to lose Boy. At first I was angry with you but after consulting with psychologists and psychiatrists in Tokyo and talking to Kenichi, I was able to understand" Abe said as Kara made a zoom call.


"What matters is that now you're back together and you're strengthening each other. Maybe Rayden's depression is different from yours, Kara because you're filled with guilt feelings to such an extent. Moreover, Boy must be ejected prematurely, making yourself even more shocked."


Abe looked gently at his daughter-in-law.


"Now you are strong, right?"


"Alhamdulillah is already papa. Kara's been able to manage Kara's emotions, Pa. Thanks to the help of Mbak Tata, a psychologist who lives not far from Kara's house."


Abe Takahashi's face looked relieved. "Where is the child going now?"


"To New Delhi pa, still finishing business there. It's been four days."


"Later papa told Rayden that the Indian factory was held by papa's assistant, Ray the same as you returned to Jakarta" Abe broke up.


"Thank you papa."


"Consider your life Kara, Boy has calmed down with Omanya. Your job now is to make his sister Boy!" kerling Abe made Kara blush.


"Yes papa" replied Kara slowly.

"So it's my duty to you? Make her brother Boy?" rayden asked as the two made a video call in the evening as Kara recounted her chat with papa Abe.


"Yes mas. Thank you papa and mas can understand me even though it was difficult at first."


"Honey, this is what Lika calls the twists of life. What we think is fine is no steep pebbles, but still there. With the gravel is only two options, the stronger our relationship or the more stretched. We, almost stretched but became more strengthening each other." Rayden looked seriously at Kara.


"Yes mas. Maybe I'm wrong, but by improving I'm making me stronger."


Rayden smile. "Kara Santanku is back as before. So..."


Rayden put his phone steady and showed himself the Shirtless. "Can dong shake again?"


Kara gawked to see her husband starting to localize it. "Astaghfiullah! Maaassa!"


Rayden shuddered while listening to Rhoma Irama's song.

Two Weeks of Rayden being in New Delhi he eventually returns to Salatiga without his two assistants as Jake and Rafli must take care of all the transfer of power from Abe's right hand to Rayden's return.


Kara, who knew at the end of the month they would return to Jakarta, was already preparing to clean up all the items she wanted to bring to Jakarta, including the stock of clothes that were still there.


The landlord is willing to return Kara's remaining three-year contract money even though Kara doesn't think too much about it.


"I don't want Kara. There are people who contract but who payin mbak Kara, mboten ethically enjoy" said the owner of the contract.


Kara finally takes the money back and puts it in her bag.


"Let's just say it's still your windfall, baby" whispered Rayden when he found out his wife's money was back.


"Yes, um."


After packing everything, Kara also gave the last salary to the SMK student who was almost half a year working for him.


"It's a lot of Kara" said the teenage girl.


"Bonus for you has also accompanied Mbak Kara to work" Kara smiled.


"May Kara and husband always be together."


"Aamiin's."

Rayden and Kara are now in bed for the last night in Salatiga. Most of his belongings had already been shipped through the expedition because Rayden did not want them to bother carrying around at the airport. Moreover, the private plane belonging to the Takahashi family is still used by papa Abe so they go home using a commercial plane.


"Your ex or my ex?" sahut Rayden's. Honestly she's lazy to discuss but Kara should know.


"formerly. Last time I asked you to talk to me about returning the company" Kara replied.


"Well, after you left and I went to India, me and papa didn't take care of your ex anymore. The last information, he sold all his shares to an investor and decided to go to Bali" said Rayden.


"It's a pity that the efforts of the late Grandpa and papa are very advanced" Kara murmured.


"Well, what he sows, he reaps!"


"If your ex?" Kara looked at Rayden who could only fall silent.


"He's dead, Kara" whispered Rayden.


"How can you?" Kara really did not keep up with the news because she was focused on herself.


"After being beaten by Rayna's mother, apparently made her mentally disturbed and she included suicidal tendencies. When they want to be submitted to the first hearing, the prison warden is not aware of it. The ex died by suicide in the cell by hanging himself."


Kara gasps. "What about his partner?"


"Jailed for life for attempted murder and kidnapping."


Kara breathed a sigh of relief. At least the people who were evil to them were already nowhere near him and Rayden.


"Tomorrow we will return to Jakarta. Are you ready?" ask Rayden.


"God willing to be ready."


***


Kara gawked at the house before her which was very different from Rayden's house yesterday. It is not as big as the old house but Kara likes the design.



Sumi's mother who welcomed her mistress cried tears of joy at the end of Kara's return home.


"Alhamdulillah the lady is well again. Welcome to the new home, madam. Madam's room is right here." Sumi takes Kara to the second floor to her master room with Rayden.


The sophisticated door that could only fingerprint Rayden and Bu Sumi was open and looked spacious bedroom complete with walk in closet and bathroom inside. Kara smiled because the color was not solid black, white, gray and brown.



Their main room is light-looking broken white with a bit of shades of gray, peach and light brown.


"Do you like the room?" whispered Rayden while hugging Kara from behind.


"Like that! The color I like" Kara said.


"Mr and Madam, dinner is ready yes" said Bu Sumi leaving the two couples who had separated and closed the door to the room slowly.


"You know, when you left, all I saw was that your jewelry was still complete and there were no wedding rings and fiancees. My assumptions, you must be wearing them."


Kara shows both rings on her ring finger.


"As long as I still want to be with you, I will never let go."


"Never let go of it at any time." Rayden kissed Kara's cheek.


"No, honey."
