Giving Up Among Overlooked Love

The Old House of Eyang Putri

The road in the afternoon was still so hot, even though the day was almost approaching dusk. It's been almost four hours that Reynand drove his car following Mahendra's car. But until this moment they have not stopped at all. Reynand's hands and body were sore and sore, but all he could hold, hoping that soon he would meet Nara, his wife.

His longing, love and guilt made him really impatient to apologize to the girl. The girl he had already hurt his heart so deeply.

The journey he took far enough, do not know where to be taken by Nara's lawyer, but certainly he really hopes if Mahendra will take it to Nara. He had already dropped his pride for the sake of pleading with Mahendra.

The twilight road that day began to dim, let alone the sun that had wanted to sink in his complaint. Only an orange ray was visible through the acacia tree trees lined up neatly. Yes two hours have passed, and even the day is almost dark. The car that Reynand was driving had entered a vast acacia forest area.

There was not a single house in sight, only acacia trees that existed as far as the eye could see. The car lights are on. Reynand's eyes slightly squinted observing this area. Why would Mahendra take him to a quiet place like this? Is Nara really in this area? Or Mahendra who lied to him?

But when the day is already dark and the sun has been replaced with moonlight. The car that Reynand was driving stopped at a large house but looked old. The yard is very spacious, this house is also like an ancient house, very beautiful and so cool but also looks creepy at night like this.

Reynand got out of his car and watched the house closely. Suddenly his heart began to rumble erratically. Don't know why, is it because she's afraid to meet Nara? Yes, obviously, she was so scared that Nara rejected her or even kicked her out. Given how cruel he has been all along.

"Is Nara here?" reynand asked as Mahendra walked up to her

"True sir" Mahendra replied. He walked to the terrace of the house where there were several servants who were watering flowers there.

Reynand took a deep breath to calm her uncertain heart. He looked back at the house closely. At first he thought that Mahendra would take him to a hospital or other health center. But he was brought to this place. Is this house Nara's family home???

"You want what???" ask someone who arrived from inside the house. Reynand who was observing the house immediately gasped in shock. He saw an old woman who was large-bodied yet looked graceful with a large bun on her head.

"Good night Princess Eyang" said Mahendra slightly bowing his body

The old woman who was called the princess's eyes just nodded, but her gaze stared intently without blinking at Reynand. And of course it makes Reynand so awkward. He also directly bowed his body in front of the princess.

"Good night madam" said Reynand

"Would you like to come here?" ask Princess. His tone of language sounded so dislike. Does he know that Reynand is Nara's husband

"I want to meet with Nara's mistress" replied Reynand.

The princess's eyebrows moved slightly, watching Reynand from the tip of her hair to the tip of her feet. Handsome, but quite ruthless, that's what's on Eyang princess's mind right now.

"I don't accept nocturnal guests" said Princess Eyang. Even he immediately looked up and turned his body to enter the house again.

Reynand and Mahendra immediately gasped in confusion. Moreover, Reynand, she directly chased after the princess even wanted to grab her hand. But he immediately paused as the princess turned around and looked at him sharply

"I told you, I don't take nocturnal guests. Are you deaf?" sergeant Eyang princess

"Madam, I'm sorry if I interrupted your break. But allow me to meet with Nara. I beg madam" asked Reynand so heartily. He's been a long way here, he's been looking for Nara's whereabouts for so long, and tonight whatever the risk is he should be able to meet Nara

"Can't, it's you who wants to meet my granddaughter at night like this" said the princess so ketus

"I am her husband's mistress" replied Reynand. But the princess even snorted cynically hearing that. He looked back at Reynand cynically, even that trifling look was really able to disturb Reynand's heart

"Suami???? what kind of husband would let his wife fight alone. Disgusting" Eyang princess instantly turned her face away when she saw the regretful face of Reynand who was bowed down miserably

"I knew I was guilty, so I came to make amends for all my mistakes madam" Reynand replied so quietly.

The princess sighed with care. He looked back at Reynand's disheveled face that was so depressed. How much trouble did he endure????

"Here you go, you come for free. Sorry you're not happening anymore. Nara has forgotten you too. Go away" said the princess who returned to want to enter the house

"Madam, I beg madam, let me meet with Nara" exclaimed Reynand as several servants blocked his steps to enter the house

"But I want to meet my wife" replied Reynand who still looked expectantly at Eyang's daughter, but the nil old woman did not even heed her wishes. Even the main door was closed tightly.

"Please let me in" Reynand asked so grudgingly to the house maid. They all look on Reynand. Moreover, Mahendra who had just been silent and did not dare to say anything.

"Sir, the princess' orders cannot be ignored" said the maid

"But my wife's inside. I'm still her husband" said Reynand, who was still looking at the door. I wish someone would get out of there

"Sir, we'd better go back. No one dared to oppose the princess. He owns this house" Mahendra said

Reynand shook her head with her tired and disheveled face, she looked at Mahendra who was approaching her

"I'll be here. I've been looking for her so far. You can go home alone if you want. And I'm so grateful to you" Reynand said

"Master sure?" mahendra asked doubtfully

Reynand immediately nodded confidently. He won't be home until he meets Nara. He won't be back before he gets his wife's apology. No matter how much he will fight, because he knows, his mistake is a mistake that is so fatal.

"Alright, I can not accompany you here, there are still many things that I have to finish" Mahendra replied. And Reynand just nodded

After Mahendra's departure, Reynand turned to the four servants who were still standing there. They looked at Reynand doubtfully. They have no idea who Reynand is. The princess just asked them not to let Reynand into the house. But hearing Reynand's words if she was Nara's husband, they were a little surprised.

"If I can't get in, can I wait here?" ask Reynand to them.

They looked at each other confused and doubtful. But seeing a handsome face that was so tangled and tired that they all became unable to repel him

"I promise I won't riot here" Reynand said

"Can you promise, we will not forbid you, provided you do not enter the house. Hopefully tomorrow morning the princess has allowed you to meet Miss Nara" said one of them

"I promise" Reynand replied

The waiter nodded and went to disperse them. Let Reynand sit down limply in front of the house.

It was already night, and Reynand should not have forced himself to enter. Maybe Nara is indeed resting, let alone the circumstances that are not good.

And Reynand chose to sit on both steps in front of the big house. Look at the sky filled with stars. It was beautiful, but not as beautiful as his heart at the moment. An agitated, restless and troubled heart. Hope Nara will be willing to forgive her, forgive everything she has done to the girl's heart.

Fatigue, crumbling dim and also the increasingly piercing cold night did not shake Reynand's determination. He sat there for hours. He simply leaned his tired body against a large pillar that supported the house, and hoped to support his tired body. Hoping that the morning would soon arrive, hoping that the sunlight would quickly warm his already cold body, let alone he was just wearing a white shirt, even the shirt was already so shabby and tangled now.

His eyes looked up at the early night sky. But his eyes could not be closed at all. Even he did not know when was the last time he slept comfortably, it had been a very long time. Maybe since his grandfather was still around. But after that, his life changed drastically. All her burdens add up, let alone her being required to be perfect for Adidaksa's company, her father's increasingly restrictive and dictatorial treatment. And all that makes Reynand's life no longer as beautiful as it used to be.

Reynand's mind drifted on a few years ago, where at the beginning of his grandfather's departure he was so devastated. His father who had disappeared for a few days and also he who had been required to be responsible for all his at such a young age. That year was the year that Reynand was really under a lot of pressure. And in that year also his meeting with Cleo, a beautiful girl who can slightly comfort his heart that is struggling. And at the end of that year he met Anara. The girl who ends up imprisoned in her blind love.

But that year is not comparable to this year. Not as sad as this year. What's the end of this, it all feels so heavy for Reynand. This year he lost all his family, wealth and love. Everything is broken and no longer left.

Reynand smiled so bitterly as she remembered her present fate. The fate that he might get from all his sins, let alone the sin on his wife, Nara.

Reynand closed his eyes and took a deep breath, hoping that his chest tightness could be slightly reduced, even though it was impossible. That night, he went back to sleep, and again drowned in a daydream of his bad luck.

Without knowing, someone looked at him with a flat view from behind the window cloth in the house.
