Giving Up Among Overlooked Love
Who's He????
Nara had just woken up from her sleep, she set her bare feet on the floor that felt so cold. The clock also showed at nine in the morning. And this morning he had to lose to the sun that was shining brightly out there.
Today is so bright, and hopefully the heat can last until dusk.
Nara's face was so puffy, her eyes looked swollen with black circles adorning around her eyelids. He's like an undead now. Well, that's how it is, but she was quite grateful this morning she was still able to open her eyes again. Though he thought last night he could no longer see the world, in fact God was still so kind to give him a chance to live. Whether he should be grateful or not, but maybe his life in the world is not over.
Nara walked into the bathroom to clean herself, her nightgown was already so filled with blood that it had dried up and smelled of rancid. Sadly, she was dying, but she had to take care of herself, and even Reynand went to see her bleeding, not asking or worrying, the man who had the status of her husband even went where early this morning. Nara doesn't know.
After cleaning up, Nara walks out of the house. The warm heat of the sun could slightly make his body feel better. He sat in the garden next to his house, looking at the nanar plants that were no longer maintained while sunbathing to warm his body that had long been cold.
Nara took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. Closing his eyes and enjoying the warmth that gradually spread to his body. Today he will stay at home, hopefully Arya can handle the company well there. She must have understood if Nara had not come today.
But instead of her being able to calm down, Nara's mind drifted to the man who became her husband. The end of this isn't Reynand looking different? He comes home more often, although if he comes home he always makes Nara sick. But that's not the case, Nara has a hunch that Reynand must be having a problem right now.
Now Reynand became even more reserved like harboring something. Nara remembers when she had a high fever yesterday, she had a delirious call to her father's name, and last night she was also strange when she saw Nara's blood. Like something happened to that guy. Does this have anything to do with Cleo's plan? If so, they have already started to act. Reynand was a proud and arrogant person, she always had such a reassuring look in her eyes, and right now Nara always saw a look of doubt and fear there.
I don't care, but it's her husband.
"I have to find his yummy" muttered Nara arriving. He got up from his seat and walked back into the house to pick up his jacket and bag. He's going somewhere. As long as his body was still able to move, then he had to search for the truth. Waiting for Reynand to prove himself, of course it is impossible, even though Reynand never believed his words.
Nara left in her car, she had already taken her medicine before leaving. Hope the pain didn't come before her troubles today met common ground. If the place is empty, then Nara must go somewhere else. I hope he remembers his path.
Almost two hours later, the car that Nara drove entered the area of foreign housing complexes, such as old housing with European architectural style. Nara frowned in wonder while slowing down the speed of his car, this housing complex looked so quiet even seemed to have many empty and uninhabited houses again. The house looks so old and unkempt. The last time he came here with Cleo, this is the housing complex where his grandmother lived, Cleo once brought Nara here. And of course Nara had forgotten where the house was, all the buildings looked the same.
Nara tried to remember all the places she had been to with Cleo before, hoping she could find the person they were as old as before. Either that person is still alive or not because it was a few years ago. But Nara is convinced, if that person is the source of all the problems, and somehow this housing is the object that Nara really wants to come to.
"Which is the house" Nara murmured as she looked at the right and left sides of all the buildings that looked the same. Not fenced, all the fences have looked damaged so they can easily see the front side of the house.
And when it was almost arrived at the house at the far end, Nara's eyes slightly squeaked when she saw a black metallic car parked neatly in one of the houses on the left of Nara. He slowed down his car, very slowly. He noticed two people who had just gotten off the car, two middle-aged people who Nara seemed to know him.
He further sharpened his gaze, and instantly his heart seemed to be smashed something saw who the two people were
"Mr Abas and Aunt Guzel?" muttered Nara with a face so flabbergasted, seeing that there was Reynand's father and also Cleo's mother.
"What are they doing here, and why would Abas be with Cleo's mother?" nara was so incredulous. He even stopped his car and noticed the two, making sure his vision was not wrong.
And Nara gasped a little as mistress Guzel pointed at her car making Mr. Abas also turn towards Nara. Nara is exhausted, she immediately restarts her car, lest she be caught rediscovering has found out something here.
..
"Who is that?" lady Guzel asked the person Nara thought was Reynand's father
"Maybe the one who wants to buy this housing" the middle-aged man replied so indifferently. He immediately walked into the seemingly uninhabited mansion and was followed by Lady Guzel.
"I'm just afraid that someone will find out you're here" Ms Guzel said, but she chuckled softly
"Just calm down, no one will know. Everything is safe" replied the man
"How about Reynand, have you been able to make her give up that asset?" ask Miss Guzel again. But the man seemed to be breathing heavily
"The boy is hard enough to conquer, he has quite a strong influence in the company" the man replied
"Isn't the company still in your brother's name?" ask Miss Guzel again
"Although still in the name of my brother, but all he's been holding and organizing. If I seize her now, the company will be destroyed, you know I can't run her, other than using her as a tool to advance the company and generate a coffer of money for us" the man replied, sounding annoyed
"Then what we have to do now, is this going to continue, I'm not sure the old man can last much longer" Ms. Guzel said. Currently they are sitting together in the living room of the house which has been covered by a white cloth entirely
"Look, today I will take his fingerprints to open the company vault, there it turns out embedded various assets that can be melted. For years I've been searching for the family's assets, and only recently did I find it, it also had to clash its mouth and threaten the damn boy" the man said with a smile so sly
Madame Guzel looked to snort a smile and nodded, the woman in elegant style yet had a thousand grudges in her heart.
"I really can't wait to see them destroyed and not left" growled her with such a sharp smile
"You still hate my sister-in-law for snatching your lover hmm?" said the man with his cynical smile
"I still remember how he ruined my life, insulted me and took what I had. I won't be able to forget her" replied Madame Guzel who seemed like her heart was indeed already filled with endless grudges
"Now you've taken all of Guzel, the husband he loves so much and also his happiness" the man replied
"You are right, and there is still more destruction, I want to see him destroyed as broken as he was" said Miss Guzel
"You sound evil" said the man, igniting his cigarette
The middle-aged man only smiled as he exhaled cigarette smoke from inside his mouth and nose with eyes that were so empty but also kept a million wounds full of vengeance....
....
Nara sat in a cafe on the edge of the lake with eyes that looked at the lake. He still did not expect what he saw today. A thousand questions instantly filled his little brain, about what Reynand's father was doing there, why he could be with Cleo's mother. Is there something they're working on, or do they already know each other? They should have known each other, especially Reynand and Cleo were lovers. But certainly not that close, either, right? after all why they both went to an old house that should no longer have residents there. Ah, Nara is getting curious about this. He should investigate immediately. He'll have to go there again later.
The atmosphere of Jakarta at noon was quite bright even impressed scorching, making Nara feel at home sunbathing outdoors like this. Moreover, lunch while looking at the green lake that cools his heart. Enough to be able to make Nara's cloudy heart a little bright.
"Miss Anara" said a man. Nara who was enjoying her lunch immediately looked up and looked at the person. A handsome man with a shady smile
"Lord Bima" Nara was a little surprised after knowing that the one who greeted him was Bimantara, behind him was his assistant who stood upright
"You're alone, miss?" bimantara and Nara asked immediately smiled and nodded
"Would you like to have lunch, too, sir?" ask Nara anyway
"Yes, may I join" Bima bargained. Nara wanted to refuse, but felt awkward. Until finally he chose to nod and agree to Bima's request
Bima immediately smiled and turned to her assistant, only turning her head but her assistant already understood and immediately left Bima with Nara both.
"Where's Arya?" bima asked as she sat in front of Nara
"Arya in the company" answered Nara
"Are you out to do something?" ask Bima again. Nara who was chewing her food just nodded. And Bima immediately smiled and continued to look at Nara who was eating. He just kept quiet and no longer asked Nara to speak. Sometimes he looked at the expanse of green lake decorated by lotus plants that are so beautiful there. The perfect combination, especially with the addition of one object that is also no less beautiful, graceful girl with a light blue dress.
Seeing Bima who was silent, Nara immediately looked up and looked at him, she could see that the man looked so enjoying this scene
"You come here often?" ask Nara. He finished his meal
Bimantara nodded and turned to Nara
"It's my favorite place, whenever I have time I'm here. And today you took my seat" replied Bima
Nara immediately frowned in surprise, but Bima instead laughed seeing Nara's confused face
"I used to sit here Miss Anara, and today I did not expect you to come here" Bima said again
Nara smiled and looked at the lake
"The place is indeed beautiful and suitable to calm down" murmured Nara
"Yes, especially for a lonely soul" said Bima
"Is that a heart expression?" ask Nara
"Of course" Bima replied with a small laugh until infectious to Nara who also smiled seeing the laughter.
"It's so beautiful" muttered Bima looking at the face of Nara who stared in wonder towards him making Bima immediately gasp
"This place is beautiful, especially during a rainy season like this. The lotus plant seems to add to the impression of life on the lake that feels dark" said Bimantara who immediately changed the topic, he always could not control himself in front of Nara
Nara looked away at the lake
"But it's just a flower that's considered a shame and forgotten" Nara murmured so deeply
"Although she remains precious, she is indeed inferior to other flowers, but do you know Miss Nara, if the lotus is a powerful flower. He still stood firm even though his footing was not strong, he still stood firm despite the rain and wind continuously trying to subvert it. He was forgotten but he remained and adorned what became his place. She did not give up on living, she existed and continued to exist to adorn the lake that became her growing home" Bimantara's expression made Nara instantly look at her face. I don't know why that answer felt like it was a fragile one. The phrase that seems to be describing the current state of himself, although actually Bimantara does not know it, he only elaborates the meaning of beauty according to his view.
Bimantara smiled and also looked at Nara
"There is nothing worthless in this world. It all depends on how we look" said Bimantara again
Anara immediately nodded and snorted a smile, it seemed like Bimantara was indeed a person so gentle that he knew the true meaning of beauty.
"You are indeed a melancholy person" Nara replied making Bimantara laugh
That afternoon, Nara's laughter and smile were released due to Bimantara's presence. But trouble will also come as she has boldly smiled for someone other than her husband.
Without them realizing it, someone was there and managed to capture Nara's beautiful smile that afternoon..
