CHAPTER 146 - True Love is You
The presence of Lucia was everything to Rayn. She's a special woman Rayn will never let go of. The woman who has become the purpose of her life. He will do whatever he can to protect and protect her.
If the meaning of true love is comfort, trust, support and courage, then now I am being endowed with that true love. The love had looked at my weakness and worries and called out my name as I stood still and drowned in my lostness.
In the dark gave me a light that led me every step of the way to find a new way. In the cold clutched me with a warm touch every time I went back on the wrong path. Exhaling the rumbling wind that sounded like a whisper, asking me to close my eyes and let my instincts lead me to my destination. An instinct where love is my focus.
In silence, through a ringing bell, my heart began to tremble. A sign that I have achieved my goal with a key that I never realized is always within my grasp. So I have come to the gate which they call my happiness.
Behind the open gate, I saw it. I saw him standing there waving a smiling hand at me. That light, that warm touch, that whip, that whisper and that voice that keeps calling my name is him. I smiled when I realized that true love was her. I began to believe that all this magic was a destiny written for me.

At Villa...
Lucia sat on the balcony staring at the trees behind the lights. He stared at a light emanating among the pine trees neatly lined up in charm. Make a reflection of the shadows of blackened trees that will not disappear in the darkness of the night.
After going through a busy day and togetherness with his parents, Lucia did not show any fatigue at all. How might that fatigue approach him when he enjoys every moment he goes through full of happiness.
Rayn came to the wife who seemed to enjoy every gust of the night breeze that brought freshness and coolness to calm the heart. Rayn gave a cup of warm chocolate that she had just made to Lucia. A cup of chocolate that can improve mood and also remove fatigue.
"Drink while it's still warm" Rayn said.
Lucia brewed it carefully. That's what she said to Rayn. Rayn grabbed the blanket in the seat and slipped it on Lucia's back and shoulders. Lucia turned her head, patting the sofa repeatedly gesturing for Rayn to sit with her. Rayn threw a smile and sat down next to Lucia. Without saying much, Lucia divided the blanket she was wearing for Rayn and looked back at the trees.
Rayn looked at the pensive Lucia in silence. "Did something happen?" tanyakanya.
Rayn is her husband, what happened to her and what she felt, whether it was a restlessness or even happiness, then she should have been able to share it with Rayn. That was what Lucia thought, she started telling stories and Rayn happily heard them.
Lucia said that she talked about a lot of things with her mother. So many stories even include what has been the reason her mother never divorced her stepfather.
About what his father experienced, maybe for many people will decide to leave him. But her mother never did. Lucy's mother chose to stay put and will continue to be the only person who will always be by her side and support her.
Before marrying his mother, the man who still holds the status as her husband was not someone else. The man was his best friend and also the best friend of Lucia's real father. Hearing this, maybe everyone will think about love triangles, well that's what happened between them before his mother and his biological father got married.
His stepfather was the one who chose to step back and let go of the woman he loved along with his best friend. Time passed and he always supported both of them to live happily.
However, fate says otherwise because the soul mate of his two friends must end in the hands of God. Lucy's mother and Lusia must lose their loved ones forever. The departure of her husband has given her grief and deep wounds in the life of Lucy's mother. A never-ending sadness, a sorrow that made the world seem to have collapsed, that was how Lucy's mother felt.
Lucia's mother who could not help it decided to end her life after planning to leave the Lucia who was still in elementary school to her grandmother.
Fate again gives another way, that's when someone who becomes a father. His stepfather was the one who had saved his mother's life that was then going to end his life for the umpteenth time.
Lucia's stepfather began to give more attention and support to her mother. He continued to struggle to make the woman who had been in his heart get his life spirit back. All he did was until at the end his stepfather decided to marry his mother.
Lucia's stepfather was a gentle and loving man. She sincerely loved Lucy's mother and treated Lucy like her own daughter. Lucia also admitted that her stepfather was a figure who returned to bring happiness in her small family. And he accepted the man in lieu of his father who had been gone forever.
Lucia told Rayn everything with tears that began to drip. "I was a fool who had hated him all this time. I thought if he was the guy who played my mom. When my mother and I started to depend on him, but he just left us all with problems that kept coming. That's what I've believed all along."
"I don't know if it turns out that my father was having this hardship and even for my sake, for my future and happiness they chose to bear this burden themselves. They'd rather I hate him than share that burden with me. And...."
Lucia was increasingly unable to contain her guilt, the tears fell along with a stifling sobbing. "And... Rayn, am I not a very evil princess. I only believed what I wanted to believe by continuing to hate her" Lucia said, crying even more.
Rayn embraces his wife's body, hugging and patting gently repeatedly on Lucia's shoulder. "Why do you keep blaming yourself. Don't do that. Aren't we still given a chance to fix everything? From now on think about how to make them happy. That's what needs to be done and I'll be the one to give you that support" Lucia said in a soothing voice.
Rayn let go of her embrace, she looked back at Lucia's face. Slowly Rayn rubbed, wiping away Lucia's still flowing tears. Rayn grabbed both of Lucia's hands and held them. "Lussia, listen to me. If I were in your father's position, maybe I would do the same. And I will never blame you or hate you for the decision I made. I do it because I love you so much. So did your father, your father did it because he loved you so much, because it stopped making what your father had fought for in vain. Right now what we're doing is making her happy" Rayn said, then hugged Lucia.
