After the Wound

Prologues

"Well! How could? You can't just be like this!" exciting Haidar. Assistant Rama

"What's up, Dar?" ask Rama

Haidar's face seemed hesitant to say so. He was sure, his boss would be angry if he heard the news from him.

"Dar!" rama's call made Haidar sigh

"They're canceling our cooperation plans, Ram"

Rama's face turned cold. "They want to play with me! They don't know who I am!"

Rama Alendra Salim is a young businessman. His handsome face, sharp nose with thick lips that look sexy makes Rama loved by many women. Rama himself is a businessman in the field of WO (Wedding Orgenaizer) Business that he built himself has skyrocketed and succeeded despite only running five years. At the age of twenty-five, Rama has become a successful businessman. The client is not just the son of officials and businessmen. Many artists also use their services. From his efforts, Rama was able to reap profits of up to hundreds of millions in a month. Because, not only in one city, RaS WO has branches in various cities throughout Indonesia.

Right now, the handsome man was waiting for his future co-worker. Where he will sign a work contract with a catering company that is always a request from prospective customers. As an entrepreneur, of course Rama will try to be able to work with the catering company, of course, so that his business is growing and advancing. But who would have thought, suddenly the prospective partner even canceled their cooperation plan.

"We'll meet them. At least, they should know who they are dealing with!" Rama was just about to move, but his steps came to a halt when he heard a knock from the reflection of the shoes that were walking towards him.

Deg

Rama's heart beat so fast as his eyes looked at the owner of the shoe who was standing right in front of him now. Longing, regret and anger mixed into one. How not, the woman standing before him right now was Ale. Namira Alesya Triyoga. The woman he destroyed eight years ago.

"Miss Mira, you can't just cancel the deal that was agreed. You-"

"You're late, I've worked with other companies. And of course, with a profit that is much greater than what your company offers!" Ale cut through Haidar's protester quickly

Deg

Again, Rama's heart was beating uncontrollably as Ale glanced at him coldly and seemed reluctant to look at him. There was pain he felt. Rama was sure, everything Ale said was just an excuse because they had previously agreed to cooperate. Rama was convinced, the reason Ale must be him. Anyone who wants to work with someone who has destroyed himself.

"But we have a deal"

"Deal can change at any time. It's 2023, Mr. Haidar. You should know, business is cruel! So, who gives the better advantage, he is the winner. Isn't that right, Mr Rama?"

If usually Rama will immediately answer the interlocutor, now his tongue feels ridiculous. Even to say a single sentence, he was unable to.

"But-"

"Mom, if you'd better go. We're too late to meet Opa" one boy exclaimed to Ale

Rama's eyes widened along with his heart that was increasingly racing so fast. Not only was Rama surprised to see the boy, Haidar was the same. The handsome boy who called Mommy to Ale or Mira looked so similar to Rama. His face, the eyes of his eagle, the nose even the way he walked was exactly with Rama. Just the same lips as Ale. Haidar stared at the unblinking Rama staring at the boy. What possible?

"I'll send you a quarter of the penalty we agreed. Consider it my apology sign! Isn't that enough? We have not signed the cooperation yet!" said Ale starting to stand out

Ale took the handsome boy in his arms, "Come boy. Mommy's business is done"

The woman turned around, then walked parallel to her son. Rama who saw the woman away immediately realized from her daydream when Haidar nudged her arm. Rama looked at Haidar briefly. His assistant and best friend since college seemed to have the same thoughts as him.

"Catch Ram!" haider's orders

Rama immediately ran after Ale. "ag ... Wait!"

Ale and his son stopped, he turned around and looked at Rama with his chest closed. "We have no more business, Lord Rama! So I guess, you better not bother me!"

Rama was about to hold Ale's hand, but was immediately pushed aside by Ale himself. Seeing that, Rama was disappointed. He stared fixedly at the beautiful bead of eyes so deeply, "Al ... He" Rama stared at Ale's son at a glance. Rama's eyes glazed - glass. The regret in his heart grew bigger. Apparently, he wasn't just a gentleman in the past. But it also destroyed the woman's life as much as it destroyed it.

"You'd better get going, sir! Don't bother my Mommy! Or you will face me" Zayn said coldly

Rama was again stunned, he was increasingly convinced that this boy was his son. Besides his face was similar, his mannerisms and arrogance were also exactly with her. Rama is like a mirror. It was as if he was staring at a small version of himself.

"Now I-"

"Zayn, wait for Mommy in the car. Mommy won't be long", Zayn looked at Rama sharply, then passed by.

Now there was only Rama and Ale, Rama looked back at Ale so closely. If eight years ago, Ale would have looked at him lovingly, then the woman's gaze now seemed to harbor wounds and hatred.

"ag ... He's my son?" ask Rama lirih

Ale laughed blandly and looked at Rama cynically, "Your son?" the question was so cold, "How could you by not knowing him, say if Zayn is your son?!!"

"He ... Very similar to me"

Ale smiled cynically, "Don't just because he looks like you, that means he's your child! Even if there is a cat that looks like you, what would you say if the cat was also your child?!"

"But we"

"We?!" Ale cuts off Rama's saying, "What's wrong with us? Have we known you in the past?"

"ag ... I ... Apologize"

Ale looked at Rama with an indescribable look on his face. "Sorry for what? For the wounds you gave in the past? Or for the regret you feel now?!!" ale's chest went up and down withstanding emotions,

Rama mute. Honestly, he felt that he was the most intelligent human being on this earth.

"I remind you once again, Lord Rama. We're off cooperation so, we have no other business after this. So, don't you ever bother me again!"

Ale turned around, though,

"I'll take responsibility!"

Deg

Ale clenched his hands, he turned around then looked at Rama sharply, "What did you say?! Responsibility?" Ale smiled cynically, "I ... Aleysha Namira Prayoga, will never accept any responsibility from you! You see, no, I got through it all so well! I managed to be a good Father and Mother all at once! Even I can give a very decent life to my son! So, if you say you want to take responsibility now, it's too late! Very - very late!!"

Rama went back to hearing what Ale said,

"And one more!"

Rama looked at Ale who looked relaxed, but with a scarred look

"We don't need you! So, all you need to do is get out of front of us forever!!"

Deg

Ale passed away, while Rama could only grieve with all the regrets within him.

This is just the beginning, Ram. I'll make you much more tormented after this. Wounds paid for wounds, pain avenged pain, and suffering, must also be paid for with suffering! So, just wait for my next surprise!

🌻🌻🌻

Rama entered his house in a doldrums. Shirt sleeves rolled up to elbows. The tie that has been taken off and the suit that rests on his shoulders, really Rama's appearance looks so tangled. Although it has been successful and able to buy his own house, in fact Rama still chose to live in his house. Of course, because there is a family at home. There is a Father, Mother and sister who is so dear to Rama.

"Son, are you home?" ask Inara, Mother

"Yes Bun"

"You look so tired. Take a shower, then have dinner together. After that, you can rest immediately"

Rama looked at his mother with a smile, then was about to climb the stairs

"Ram, don't get too tired from work. You should also think about your health and happiness"

Rama's steps stopped, he turned to look at the Mother, "I know. Mother need not worry", after saying that, Rama stepped up the stairs to his room. Rama did not understand what the woman was saying. Because, after the events in the past, Rama became crazy work and work.

Rama sat on the bed. His mind was still fixed on Ale as well as his son. The shadow where he had once destroyed Ale was clearly milling. Cruel, he admitted he was cruel. For no apparent reason, more precisely just because of the incitement of the late grandmother, Rama managed to make Ale's life destroyed as much as it was destroyed. And that Rama regretted until now.

"I promise I'll make up for everything. Even if you ask for my life, I'll gladly give it to you as long as you can apologize"
