Love is Extraordinary
chapter 42
Amsterdam, three months later...
The sound of a silver macintosh laptop keyboard pressed Rinjani when replying to Erwin's email, the only link with RRWardhana Couture that her husband did not know about. According to Erwin after Rinjani disappeared, Radit gave all authority to Bu Wayan to keep the fashion house running. And Radit doesn't suspect there's been any contact between Erwin and Rinjani all along.
"Darlin.. I'll go to the boutique, will you stop by later?" Sapa Mark the host where Rinjani hitchhiked
"Yes, after I do this and wash my clothes" Rinjani replied
"Baby, your clothes let me wash. After all the rest is put in the washing machine" said Irvin couple Mark
"My body has become lazy with your kindness. I also need to move" Rinjani refused to look at the two men in turn
The two men laughed at Rinjani's words and took turns kissing the cheeks of the most beautiful woman in their apartment
"See you later darling" said Mark sending a kiss bye before closing the door
How could Rinjani end up staying with those two men? Three months ago after leaving Indonesia in a state of turmoil, Rinjani returned to London and tried to get to know people she knew. Naomi has returned to Japan, and is married to Kim Tae Ho. Mark is the only one close to Rinjani at the fashion house they used to work for has moved to Amsterdam and opened a small boutique with his partner, Irvin.
But Mark insisted Rinjani should go to Amsterdam once Rinjani knows London, and hold him back from living together rather than Rinjani looking for another apartment. They did not even ask him for rent, making Rinjani very indebted.
"Darling, can you stop by at Bloemenmark to buy some flowers? The one at home has been 5 days, we need to replace it" Mark said that afternoon when Rinjani already wanted to go home from the boutique
"The same flower?" Ask Rinjani
"Yes, I can't move on from gladiolas and tulips, but add another flower well darling" Mark's pint as he blinked one eye
"All right"
Bloemenmark is only two blocks from their apartment, Rinjani often spends an afternoon walking in the area. Since living with them, Rinjani also slightly began to be able to arrange flowers taught by Irvin.
Bloemenmark
"Scent" Rinjani murmured as she kissed the flower of her choice which she carefully embraced
"Rinjani!" Calling someone holding onto Rinjani's shoulder made her startled and turn around
"Well?!" Rinjani's voice with her body jerked backwards
"Rinjani! What are you doing here? I was in the flower market at a glance to see you, I think my eyes are wrong" said the tall man with the black sweater
"Mas Ezra" Rinjani said as she looked up at the man looking at her with glittering eyes
"I asked, what are you doing in Amsterdam? Where's Radit?!" Cecar Ezra
Rinjani then bowed staring at her black sneaker
"Rinjani! Hey.. What's up?" Tanya Ezra held both arms of his ex-wife
"Mas Ezra himself what's going on here?"
"I was traveling with my college friends this time we agreed to the Netherlands, where do you live?"
"Not far from here" Rinjani murmured softly
"I'll take you home, here's the flowers I brought"
The two people then walked silently to the streets that were starting to be quiet, only a few people who passed by them
"Mas want to go up?" Rinjani asked for a moment in front of the white building with a brown door
"Can I?" Ask back Ezra who is actually full of hope to see the life Rinjani lived, he needs to know also what happened to this woman
Ezra then follows Rinjani who seems troubled up the stairs
"May I?" Ezra asked extending his hand after getting ahead of Rinjani
"Thank you" said Rinjani curling her lips upwards, her eyes narrowing with a smile
The sturdy hand clasping Rinjani's fragile fingers helped her up the stairs towards the second floor
"Nice apartment, cool design" murmured Ezra greeted his view "your friend has good taste"
"You will meet them soon" Rinjani replied with a grinning smile
Slowly Ezra sipped coffee served Rinjani, his heart warmed up as the caffeine soaked his throat, this woman used to make him coffee every morning. If he could turn back time, he would not have wasted the opportunity.
"So, what happened?" Ezra asked after putting down his mug looking at Rinjani with a deep look
"Well..." Rinjani replies to Ezra's gaze, and begins to tell the details of the incident three months ago
Ezra's eyes widened in disbelief after Rinjani ended her outpouring of heart
"That's all? Ckck" said Ezra, shaking his head "you should wait for your husband to come home Rinjani, asking him carefully. Do not because only the one-sided words of the unclear woman you immediately burned jealous and fled to the Netherlands"
"But..."
"Radit loves you so much, he can't possibly do things the way you think" said jealous Ezra who strongly acknowledges the reality "this is unfair to him, please don't repeat the same mistake" he continued to look at Rinjani with sadness
"Mas Ezra's... But I'm already here"
"I believe he must be overwhelmed looking for you, or come back to Indonesia with me" suggested Ezra trying to convince Rinjani who began to worry
Rinjani was just about to reply to Ezra's words but the apartment door opened
"Darling... We went home, I bought some Chinese food for our dinner" Irvin exclaimed
"Oh my God, who is this man?" Screaming of pleasure Mark approached the dumbstruck Ezra and in shock saw two men waving directly at him
"I took a bath first mas" kekeh Rinjani moved from the sofa directly controlled by Mark and Irvin
"Don't leave me Rinjani" said Ezra with his eyes glaring at Rinjani, who was met with laughter
"Darlin... Is he your husband?" mark asked while twitching Ezra's sturdy arm
Rinjani and Ezra then looked at each other
"Sister.., I'm Rinjani's older cousin" Ezra replied slightly stammeredly.
"Yes, he's my cousin's brother" Rinjani said, confirming Ezra's words
When Rinjani walks into her room, Ezra types a message to the man she has not been in contact with for a long time
...
The next day Ezra asked Rinjani to accompany him to walk around Amsterdam, while looking for a hand for the family. Actually it's just a mode to spend time together that maybe Ezra will not get anymore.
"Racid?" Ezra asked gently looking at Rinjani rather heavily breathing, her face flushed red
"A little bit" Rinjani replied wiping the sweat on her temple
"Let's sit there, ordering food" Ezra pointed to the cafe on the edge of the canal
Rinjani was stunned to stare at the sunset from their seat, this city made him fall in love with the scenery and atmosphere, comfortable like Yogyakarta.
"What about your life?" Rinjani asked glancing at the golden ring on Ezra's right hand
Ezra was a little shocked by Rinjani's question, since their meeting yesterday he had even forgotten his status
"That's how" Ezra muttered with a straight look towards Rinjani
"Kids?"
"Yet, maybe not yet loved" said Ezra lying, he actually asked Natasha to use KB to delay having offspring. He did not love his wife, the woman who was betrothed by his own mother. The presence of children will make it harder to live life, it is also unfair for his son to find his father does not love his mother.
"I'm starting to love this city" Rinjani murmured as she propped up her forehead "quiet and comfortable, like an old bicycle-filled Jogja"
"You do not find Jogja like that Rinjani, I who was born there know what the past was like, now everywhere is stuck" said Ezra with a faint smile
"Australia has no place like this"
"If in the past after we were married to continue moving to Europe maybe we will not divorce" said Ezra staring at Rinjani with sadness, his heart was painful to say the word in front of a woman who never separated from his mind
"Maybe" Rinjani replied with a faint smile
"Did you love me during our marriage?" Ezra asked who could not help but want to ask one of the few questions that haunted him
"Hmmm... I am always in total with anyone who is my partner, like whatever his attitude to me.., I certainly try to give my best" Rinjani explained which makes Ezra more sad.
"Thank you Rinjani" said Ezra, smiling "we finished this steak, and I will take you home. My plane was at 10pm" Ezra said, glancing at his watch, which showed 6.30pm
...
They looked at each other at the door of the apartment, it was a bit heavy for Ezra to leave Rinjani but the time was over, it was time for him to return to real life that he had to live until the end of his life.
"See you in Indonesia Rinjani" said Ezra raised his hand to shake his hand
Rinjani then stepped closer and buried her face into the chest of her ex-husband, Ezra who was shocked and happy with Rinjani's attitude, she never imagined that she would have the opportunity to embrace Rinjani's body again.
"You must be strong Rinjani" murmured Ezra rubbed Rinjani's back and ended their embrace "until I meet again my love" he continued
"Come in" said Ezra looking deeply at Rinjani
"Safe flight mas" Rinjani replied before closing the door
Taking a very long breath, Ezra stepped down the stairs. In front of the fence a man in a black jacket was scathing with hair a little fussy seeing his arrival
"He's upstairs?" Asked the man while pulling his backpack
"Yes"
"Thank you Bro" said the man greeting Ezra "by the way, why are you doing this?"
"I made amends in the past" Ezra replied with a bitter smile"Welcome home, I have to catch my plane" he chuckled
The man then walked to the front door and jumped each of the two steps excitedly and pressed the doorbell that Ezra meant via a message
"There is a forgetfulness mas" cried Rinjani when he opened the door, his mouth could not close to find a very handsome and tall man was smiling ignorantly in front of him, a man who had the same eye color as his
"Halooo badung child" the man raised his hand and stepped into Rinjani's body "let's go home" he continued patting his sister's back gently
Rinjani nodded assentingly in Keanu's arms.

...
On the other side of the taxi..
Ezra looked at the view of Amsterdam for the last time, the city that gave a beautiful meaning in his heart.
"Rinjani" murmured Ezra with teary eyes
In another life
I would make you stay
So I don't have to say
You were the one that got away
The one that got away
