My Choice of Woman

Episode 63

That night the sky wept over the city of Milepolis. The rumbling of earthy lightning made horrors above the sky. Luxury cars drove smoothly on the streets, Ray indeed deliberately chose this road to arrive at his palace.

Farah was still crying, asking to be released. Farah also felt an overwhelming fear. Farah kept thinking how she could get away from Ray.

“Ray let me go! Drop me off here!” Farah insists, he also hits Ray. Although a blow from Farah doesn't mean anything to Ray.

Farah kept on yelling for release and kept hitting Ray's body. This infuriated Ray until he was forced to stop his car. He looked at the woman sitting in the chair next to him.

“You're not Ray my friend. You are evil, you are evil man!” Farah cried looking at the sharp gaze from Ray.

“Shut!” Ray snapped ferociously.

Ray is out of control, his anger is on the edge. He could not stand the cry of a woman.

Plakk!

Ray slapped Farah on the cheek until she was silenced.

Farah holds her cheek that was slapped by Ray. He felt pain, only this time someone slapped him hard. Farah covered her face, her voice heard if she was holding back a cry. Sobbing.

Ray was instantly aware of his actions. It was so easy to throw a cruel slap on her royal mistress. Ray's heart ached, because Farah was crying because of the pain Ray had created.

“Are you okay?” now Ray's face has turned to anxiety. He regretted his actions.

Farah looked at Ray with fear, even as Ray was about to touch her cheek. Farah was crying so hard.

“You're evil Ray! You're not the Ray I know.”

Still, Farah's whining did not work on the burden of Ray's heart. He drove his car to his palace. He didn't care if Farah was in pain because of the slap from him.

Ray's luxury car continues to ride through the rain. Farah did not know which area this was in. Only the streets are deserted with road dividers in the form of high walls. Farah kept thinking how to get out of this car and go home.

Farah's opportunity lies only in the safety belt. He doesn't wear that thing. Farah had also prepared a cayenne. Only now did Farah have to muster up her courage.

Farah took a breath, exhaled it slowly. He saw Ray who was focusing on driving this car.

Okay fine! I have to be brave.

Farah spontaneously pulled the steering wheel to the left, so Ray's car ran incongruously until it hit the road barrier. The car stops suddenly, Ray and Farah are jolted until their heads hit the dashboard of the car.

Farah's temple was bleeding from the impact. Ray was also a little shocked and he had a slight shock in his head.

“What are you doing? It's dangerous!” furious Ray. He was in pain due to the impact.

“I don't want to come with you! You're a bad guy!” Farah tries to get out of Ray's car.

For the umpteenth time, Ray does not like to be called ‘bad guy’. He still pulled Farah's hand out of his reach.

“Let go of me Ray!” Farah tried to remove her right hand from Ray's.

“No! It won't be possible.” Ray retaliates with a stronger grip, making Farah in pain.

“Aaakhhh!” Ray screeched, he felt his face hot and sore. Suddenly Ray's grip slipped off.

This is an opportunity for Farah. He got out of Ray's car and ran as far away as he could. Farah kept running through the rain. Eventually he is spared from Ray's evil entrapment.

Ray got out of his car, he wet his face so that the pain from the chili was gone. He saw the figure of Farah who had run far enough.

“This is my bad day!” Ray was cursing at his current condition.

Currently he lost the woman he loved, plus the front car body damaged by the impact earlier. Today Ray is very messed up, he is heartbroken, he also forced Farah to come with him. This is like the classic story of Ravana who kidnapped a beautiful woman named Sinta. But Ravana is more fortunate to be able to hold Sinta a little longer than Ray, he has not had time to hold Farah in his palace.

Ray was very blunt today, he also cursed the Universe why he had to meet the woman. He was angry why fate was always cruel to him. Ray has all the treasures, even the throne. But he has no companion alive.

Ray got back in his car. Anger still controls him, so he recklessly drives his car at high speed like chasing something.

***

Ilham entered the elite area in the heart of Milepolis City, he deliberately took a closer city path and adequate lighting. Inspiration wants to find Farah in Ray's mansion.

This elite area is only owned by those who are really rich, Ray included in it. This area is close to the city park. Ilham had stopped by Ray's house, the design was more exclusive like a palace.

Inspiration had reached the gate of Ray's house, the guards had also known Inspiration. Even Ray had told all the guards and servants that Inspiration was Ray's guest of honor. So little Ilham had easy access to Ray's palace house.

The distance between the gate and the main house is about 100 meters. Ilham immediately drove his car right in front of the main entrance of this palace house. He was welcomed by Ray's loyal servant, Mr. Sudiro.

“Sorry Mr. Ilham, Young Master is out and has not returned,” said Mr. Sudiro.

Whahuh? Ray's not back yet. Where did he take Farah?!

For a moment Ileham thought, where did Ray and Farah go. The mind of Inspiration was already poisoned by things that greatly made his heart unsettled.

***

In the rain and rumbling, Farah kept running, occasionally walking. Even several times Farah had to be plunged into a road hole filled with water. The lighting here is not sufficient. His phone died from rain, all he could do was stay away from Ray. Farah followed her heart, where she should run.

“Aduhh!” agonizing Farah, for the fifth time he fell. His clothes were wet and dirty. This rain is hindering his escape. There were no vehicles passing through. His body was in pain from the impact. Farah continued to strengthen her body in order to run all the way to the house.

Sweat and tears were mixed with the sky descending water. Her body feels cold. But he kept his feet up to keep walking. Car lights are visible in this heavy rain. The car was driving from behind Farah.

But Farah felt different, the car did not drive past Farah but followed Farah. Farah's breath was hunting, her heart was pounding.

Don't you think it's Ray! No, I don't want to go with him anymore!

Farah felt the car behind her was Ray's car. Instantly Farah put her body up, she ran again through the crowd of rainwater. The car was chasing Farah. He was still running until his feet fell into the hole again.

Farah groaned in pain, she was no longer strong enough to run anymore. The car stopped in front of Farah. He tried to get up, but his body had reached its limit. Someone got out of that car. Farah was unable to see her face due to the heavy rain.

“I beg you, don't hurt me! I don't want to come with you!” Farah shouted at the figure she thought was Ray.

“At last I found you,” said the figure.
