Girl For The Widow

S2.20

***

If Qia had found the direction of her life and was treading that direction with vigor.

This is exactly what happened with Keynand. He spent the days as if he didn't know his purpose. After Julaekha's refusal to pay a visit to Reynand's residence, Keynand no longer has any color in his life.

Julaekha is busy with her career and role as Mrs Keynand. Teaching and dialoguing with the upper class who are mostly socialites and freedomists. She refuses to join Lika and her friends who she thinks are not classy.

The lives of the two of them seemed to be two sides of the coin. One roof but a different roof. Living together but not knowing each other.

"Dadek Raski will stay with us" Keynand said.

They are currently enjoying breakfast together. Sometimes they have breakfast or dinner together. It was the will of Julaekha who wanted Keynand to have time for him, even though in reality the warmth was not at all he got.

Keynand turned cold without a smile. His world is now only work, work and work.

Julaekha stopped her bribe. He snorted in annoyance and suddenly his ears became irritated.

"Can I refuse it? I don't like kids much less Raski. The boy is really wayward," said Julaekha showing his annoyance.

"He's my real son" said Keynand angrily.

"Yes, but I'm your wife. You should have listened more to my decision. Let Raski be with Reynand's family. Wasn't from the newborn Raski was taken care of by Lika and lived with them. So let Lika take care of him. Mas don't have to bother themselves to take over the care of Raski, if here no one takes care of her," sahut Julaekha firmly and suppresses the word hoping Keynand will understand his wishes and avoid bringing Raski to life with his Daddy. She doesn't want Raski to stay with her. It means ruining the pleasure that is now being felt.

"No rejection, Raski will stay with her Daddy. Point," said Keynand firmly. He grabbed the tissue and cleaned the food scraps on his lips. After which he got up from his seat, grabbed his briefcase and left the dining room with a terrifying aura.

"As for you, don't blame me if anything happens to Raski" said Julaekha a little loudly hoping Keynand heard who had walked away.

"Bas selfish, she should focus on making me happy as her wife, why bring Raski in our midst. Keynand really sucks. Doesn't he understand that I don't like kids and decide to be Child free."

Julaekha vented her frustration by nagging her Husband. He bit the unsalted bread smeared with his favorite cheese roughly.

"Keynand really sucks," she said emotionally. Even though his mood had changed, he still enjoyed his breakfast with lava. For him breakfast is very important to start his days which he will make very pleasant.

After eating, Julaekha called her maid and ordered her to clean the table. The employed middle-aged maid simply nodded obediently. Julaekha left home with an exasperating heart, but she had plans to make her mood happy. The beautiful woman's smile expanded slightly as she knew what to do.

"Totally serious?" Reynand rebukes when the man of two children puts himself on the living sofa in his sister's workroom. Do not forget to first knock on the door and say hello. Keynand simply answered the greeting then refocused on his work.

Listening to the question from his brother, Keynand stopped his focus from the laptop. Then he walked over to Reynand who was sitting on the guest sofa.

Keynand throws bok*ng on the Sofa with lethargic movements.

"That's the only way to escape this chaotic life, even though it won't, in fact, be able to" said Keynand.

"Only you know what to do" Reynand said as he patted Keynand on the shoulder to channel the force.

"You can reach him with Julaekha" whispered his heart which was on the other side.

Keynand shook his head firmly. Qia the owner of the dream wanted to be realized by Keynand, only with Qia the dream felt very meaningful.

"Preace with reality. Julaekha is your wife and you have chosen her. If you had been more careful, none of this would have happened. It has already been and you can not change it other than just accept it sincerely," said Reynand wisely.

Reynand knew what had happened to Keynand and was forced to marry Julaekha. Knowing the truth, Reynand deeply regretted the disloyalty. But what you want to say, regretting will not change anything. Keynand must accept circumstances beyond his control. Maybe this is what is called destiny.

"If I hadn't remembered how much God disliked divorce, I might have divorced him. You're right, I have to accept it even though that happiness may not be what I get. At least by surviving, Satan did not laugh at having managed to make that sacred promise cut off."

After saying, Keynand took a heavy breath. Now all he can do is survive with a household heresy that there is no Sakinah, mawaddah and warohmah in it. It was possible that he could make it happen with Julaekha, but why did his heart doubt that. Because it seems Julaekha does not want it. The woman only wanted her status as the wife of a wealthy businessman. He just wanted his status to be more classy and respected in the Society. That's all he wanted.

Reynand patted that sturdy shoulder once more to encourage him.

Keynand simply nodded with a bitter smile.

"Oh yeah, are you still looking for an existence, Qia?"

"Yes Bang" Keynand answered briefly.

"For what? You better stop looking for Qia. Let him live his days in peace, without having to worry about meeting you or Julaekha." Reynand advised his sister. He wants both Keynand and Qia to go through the days without having to get stuck with the past. Reynand knew what the girl was like. How bad Qia especially in addition to the disease in his pain added the girl increasingly withered. Perhaps with them not meeting, Qia could rise up and fight back to reach her days full of smiles, without having to try hard to forget Keynand. It could be that with no encounter between them it would be easier to forget each other.

Keynand shook his head. He did not expect Reynand to no longer side with him. Perhaps his brother's blessing had turned to Julaekha. From every request of Reynand, he meant that his brother had been persuaded by Julaekha's seduction and tears. A woman who thinks herself very sad because she is not considered by him.

"Has Brother sided with Julaekha?" Ask Keynand to investigate.

"No. Until whenever Abang does not like Julaekha," replied Reynand firmly.

"Abang just doesn't want you to hurt Qia a second time, kill her. What do you want to do if you meet him. Your meeting doesn't change anything" Reynand explained. She did not intend to separate her sister from Qia nor approve of Julaekha as sister-in-law. Reynand did this for the good of both of them. There is nothing more that can be done in order to live together, which is why it is better not to look at each other which will only add to the wound.

"I need an explanation from Qia," said Keynand flatly contained emotional in every word that said.

"What explanation? Nothing to explain by him. He had no obligation to explain anything he had never done. You don't need an explanation, all you need now is legowo."

After saying Reynand patted his sister's shoulder who was just speechless.

Keynand just sighed unrelieved. It was hard for him to forget about Qia, let alone be forced to stay away from her. Is it wrong that he now harbors a longing for the girl? A longing that tormented his heart. Keynand realized, now he had no right to think about other girls while he already had a Wife.

"Yetoooo."

Keynand wanted to scream, but was only held back in his composure.
