HANDSOME MASTER (Late In Love)

Much Further More

The sound of birds chirping melodiously woke me up from a very deep sleep, perhaps this was due to the effects of the long trip I had with Duhan for a full day.

I opened the window on the right side of the bed, a beautiful green scene spread out in front of me, the cold morning atmosphere that pierced through the skin was much different from the atmosphere in the city, this was my first experience away from home.

The sound of birds singing to each other sounds very merrily, large trees with refreshing green foliage around the villa pampering the eyes, very beautiful.

Gts ... Gts ... Gts ...

The sound of the door knocking made me aghast in shock, I immediately rushed to open the door.

"I'm sorry to interrupt early in the morning. This is a change of clothes and towels for Mbak Sabrina," said Ms. Ningsih.

"Thank you very much, Mom."

"Oh yeah, the bathroom is over there, Ma'am. Here there is only one bathroom," continued Ms. Ningsih while pointing to the end of the hallway.

I nodded and closed the door again. Remembering last night Duhan promised to take me around the villa, I went straight back out and headed for the bathroom.

The design of this bathroom is also so unique, all made of wood, bathtub, dipper, soap and various knickknacks for bathing are here.

After taking a shower I wear clothes that have been given by Ms. Ningsih, a long skirt with a plain white shirt.

"Sa" said someone behind me.

"Eh, Duhan. What's up?"

"You owe me an explanation, come with me!" take Duhan a little pushy.

I just obeyed and followed her footsteps walking quickly in front of me.

We went out into the villa courtyard, walked a few steps through a small cobblestone path and found a mini waterfall with an artificial pond underneath.

"Ah, that's beautiful" I murmured.

"Sit down" said Duhan.

"Actually what happened to you, Sa. Please don't scare me," he continued.

"I'm sorry, Han. I always bother you,"

"I'm leaving my husband, I'm fucked up, Han. This is because my husband is close to a woman, his own friend, and I think their relationship is not just a friend."

"Yesterday, when you picked me up in front of the boutique, I just got out of the hospital, I miscarried," I said, as the words came out of my mouth, as hard as tears fell.

"So, you just had a miscarriage, you're not recovering, Sa." The eyes of Duhan.

"I'm well, Han."

"lik! I'll take you home again" said Duhan.

"Don't, I beg you. I need some time alone."

"But that's all your new prejudices, Sa. Not necessarily your husband has a love affair with the woman you're referring to."

"I know, but he doesn't love me" I continued, sobbing again.

"Huh?" Duhan was surprised.

"Don't cry like that, I'm confused to see your condition like this. Who's your husband?"

"Arga, Argadiansyah Vijaya."

"Wijaya Group Owner?" asked Duhan in surprise.

"So, should I hide your whereabouts from her? that's impossible, Sa." he continued

"Why?"

"He's a powerful man, there's a lot he can do to find you."

"I believe you, Han. Please don't let anyone know about this," I said a little pleading.

"So, if all this is uncovered, then I'll deal with your husband, Sa. It won't be easy."

"I won't be long, it's just a minute" I said convincingly.

"How can you marry her, she's notoriously cold to women, I've heard of her marriage, but I'm not interested in knowing who the lucky lady is capable of conquering the proud male's heart," continued Duhan.

"So, am I a lucky woman?" I smiled a little bit.

Miris once, out there everyone thought I was a lucky woman who married a rich, handsome and well-established man. What they see is far from what I really feel.

I told her all the origins of our marriage, with a concerned face Duhan listened without refuting.

Sometimes he took a deep breath and watched me cry.

"I'm so sorry for the passing of your baby-to-be, Sa." Duhan smiled, I just nodded while staring at the gurgling water falling from the top of the cliff.

"I don't know how you're feeling right now, but I'll give you time to calm down."

"Later in the afternoon, I have to go back to the city. I'm on a lot of work, in two weeks I'll come visit."

...

A beautiful place in the middle of a forest like this was very soothing, many things I had never met before coming to this place.

The cool and comfortable atmosphere made me feel at home, I was happy to linger on the terrace of the villa enjoying the green scenery in front of me.

"Sa, I'm back in town first, take good care of yourself. Ms. Ningsih will buy you some change of clothes" Duhan said at the door.

"Yes, be careful."

"If you ask for anything, just tell Ms. Ningsih, she will take care of all your needs" he continued.

"Good, Han. Thank you so much for helping me."

After Duhan left, I decided to go back to the room. When I opened the door, my phone rang continuously.

Didn't I block all the numbers?

Then who's calling?

I approached the phone lying on the bed, a new number on the screen.

The fingers wanted to receive the call, but inwardly refused. I don't want my existence to be disturbed, I really want to calm down.

I finally pressed the red button there, then turned off my phone so that no one else could contact me.

"Sir," said Ms. Ningsih who was standing in the doorway, because the door to my room was open a little.

"What's up, Mom?"

"Bak Sabrina didn't want to do anything? hot tea, for example?"

"If it's warm chocolate, isn't it?"

"Oh, ada. I made it first," said Ms. Ningsih and went to the kitchen.

Ah, I even miss the house's warm chocolate.

Sir, have you lost me?

Do you expect me to come back?

Questions like that kept repeating in my head all the time. I'm like in that man's ghost. It's undeniable, I miss him, but it's hard if I have to come back before my heart really recovers.

...

A week, two weeks, three weeks passed, and after a whole month, Duhan came to visit me. He brought some of my favorite foods with me when I was in school.

"Many news circulate over the disappearance of the wife of the owner of the largest company in the city, Sa. Many people are looking for you, even your husband offers fantastic rewards to anyone who can find you" Duhan said, sipping a cup of hot coffee.

"really? he's having a competition?"

"Yes, it seems so. You don't want to go home yet?" ask Duhan.

"Are you interested in the rewards my husband promised you?" manyaku.

"That's not what I mean, but---," he said hanging.

"I'm scared, Sa. He's the most influential person in our city, I could lose my job, career, and everything until he finds out that I'm hiding your whereabouts." Duhan looked worried as well as scared, his eyes showing a sad feeling.

"I'll be leaving this place soon, Han. Don't worry, I'll be gone soon."

"I didn't mean to kick you out, Sa."

"I know, thank you for helping me so much all this time."

"Where are you going after this?"

"Far, maybe farther than this," I replied steadily.
