From Comfortable to Love

Chapter 7 - Half of Life

The door opened very roughly, Hermanto who was sitting in the living room was aghast at the arrival of Rakha who was filled with anger.

"Mr Rakha?" Mr. Hermanto. Not yet had he asked the intention of Rakha's arrival to his house, the man suddenly fell due to the right blow hit his face.

"What kind of work did you give me, Hermanto?"

"I mean Sir, what?" Lirih, Mr. Hermanto, rubbed his face that hurt.

Mr. Hermanto got up, he didn't even dare to fight a bit. Even now he was bowed before Rakha, because he was so afraid of the man.

"The workers you brought are not at all willing to serve me! Didn't you explain the details of the work?"

"I'm sorry, sir, I guess she'll do it all, because I think she's just a plain and sure Village Girl."

"Said you? There he was just defying his duty."

Mr. Hermanto was silent.

"Just get him back to his village,"

"But sir, he desperately needs a job. Don't fire him, give him another chance, sir."

"Why indeed? Why should I defend a dissident?"

"His mother is in pain, sir. That's the information I got about him."

"Want to?"

"I just want to help on humanitarian grounds, sir."

"Don't talk about humanity if you're still in the business world like this Hermanto! I'm sick of hearing it."

"Please give him a chance, sir."

"You're talking like this because you don't want to give me back the money I gave you, right?"

Again, Mr. Hermanto was silent. Actually he doesn't want to deal with Rakha. But what to say, looking for workers who like Rakha want is certainly very difficult. Can say complete package.

Tania is an easy target, because the girl is desperate. Mr. Hermanto also would not have thought the problem would spread like this.

"Patience, Sir. Maybe the girl needs time to accept all this." Shaking, Hermanto replied.

Once again a blow landed on Mr. Hermanto, this time hitting his distended stomach. Mr. Hermanto just groaned in pain.

"That's for you because it's not working!"

Rakha passed by leaving the residence of Mr. Hermanto, heading somewhere. The most comfortable place to express all emotions.

Bars, bars,

Here Rakha is now. The events of five years ago made this man become accustomed to the world of night, drink, women, and things that he thought were fun and drove away the loneliness in his life.

In this place Rakha has been getting used to, even though he has to spend money and time for a momentary pleasure. Although loneliness will still come closer, at least it can eliminate the taste even if only briefly.

In a semi-conscious state, those five-year memories flashed back.

***

At that time Rakha was a young man full of achievements and was at the peak of success in the business he was living. His own family business.

At a young age-23 years, Rakha is able to become a businessman who deserves a thumbs up. Other companies began in droves to cooperate with his company. Until the Rakha Company skyrocketed and soared.

Rakha and Karisma, a very compatible couple. And became the lips of the people at that time. Rakha loved the girl more than anything, even herself.

The gaze and treatment of Charisma are like an intoxicating opium. Hearing the news, if they soon get married.

"Darling, tomorrow I'll be abroad for five days. You don't be naughty, yeah." Rakha said to Karisma, accompanied by a spoiled kiss on the girl's forehead.

"Why go-go mulu? Our wedding party will be in a minute." Karisma pouted, but the look on her face still looked beautiful.

"For a moment, there's an important meeting with a business associate."

"You always don't have time for me."

"I work to make you happy too, dear."

"Jude." Charisma hugs spoiled. Until the scene of hugging and so forth can not be avoided.

***

The next day, Rakha leaves for the airport.

Somehow, that day Rakha's departure was canceled after he got a call, and the man immediately rushed home. Go home to Karisma.

Rakha's feelings get mixed up when she gets a photo of Karisma 'playing' with another man. And some photos show Karisma's body without a single thread.

The door of Karisma's room was opened by Rakha who still could not believe everything sent by that person.

and sure enough, the hot scene was witnessed by Rakha who was speechless. Like a hot spear, Rakha's chest felt very painful and like burning. The head wants to explode.

Without further ado, Rakha slams the man who is with Karisma. The man who is still naked. And that man is Rakha's own business partner, even he is Rakha-Dani's best friend.

A blind attack on Rakha's point at Dani. Rakha mercilessly slaughtered the man who could only roar in pain.

And the most painful thing is, Karisma defends Dani, making Rakha instantly become helpless.

"Why? Why, Karisma?" Rakha was sitting limply leaning against the wall. His heart was broken, shattered into pieces.

"I don't know, Rakha! You cannot impose your will. I love you, but I'm more comfortable with Dani. You know, Dani's always been there for me."

"Is there no more room for me, Karisma?" Rakha cries, cuddling at the girl he loves and loves so much.

"No, Rakha. Now I prefer Dani." Karisma holds Dani up. They pick up clothes that are scattered.

"We can start everything from scratch, Karisma. Think again, our marriage is in sight." Rakha is still trying to convince Karisma, calling the girl's name many times and still trying to make peace with the situation.

"No, Rakha! We cancel everything. Now you go!" Charisma Shouts. His determination was already unanimous to end it all with Rakha.

Rakha just kept quiet, resigned to everything. At that moment his heart was broken and it was impossible to reconnect.

Until now, Rakha is more comfortable with his own world. Focus on your work and choose not to trust anyone.

Calmness and away from the crowd is what he likes at this time. Although sometimes the bar is also a place to stop.

Focusing on living alone, although many do not know in his home Rakha has a Worker who is ready to serve him in everything, only to eliminate the loneliness of the heart that is impossible to lose.

Because all those feelings were brought on by Karisma. A woman who could literally take half of her life.
