My Crazy Rich - Ard

Chapter 72

Richard circulated his gaze in all directions, occasionally calling out the name of the wife. “Rachel!” his screams broke the silence that night.

Richard's feet continued to move in an uncertain direction. His hand reached into the pocket of his pants to pick up the phone and turn on the flashlight. The sky was too dark tonight, the moon and stars did not reveal their light in the least so he had enough trouble searching. “Rachel,” call her again, but don't get any answers either.

It's been almost an hour Richard's been trying to find. However, the news from the men also did not come to him. Grief, and worry immediately perched in Richard, until soon after, he realized something that made him stumble and guess. “Do-don't!”

Richard immediately turned his body around. He ran into one of the dangerous places, on the land of his territory. With his heart pounding fast, Richard continued to step up while hoping inwardly. “Do not until something bad happens to you!”

“Rachel!” Richard, who had arrived somewhere else, put the palms together on his lips to make his voice louder. He searched the location while continuing to mention the name of the wife. “Rachel. Rachel, where are you?”

Until not long ago, the incantation of a voice Rachel in response began to sound. “I'm here.”

“Rachel.” Richard drew closer to the source of the sound, his body twisting and circling, but neither did Rachel reveal the trunk of his nose.

“I'm here.” Rachel's voice on top of a tree that was high enough to make Richard stunned. He just married a Tarzan. Why women are so strange when they are angry, to have to climb all trees.

Richard, point the cell phone flashlight up. He looked up at the wife who was quite tall. “What are you doing there?” ask Richard.

“Rich, I was chased by a crocodile. That's why I went up to the tree. You don't want to be a widower yet ‘kan?” Rachel's face still looked so panicked. He hugged a tree he was hiding in.

Yes, when it was angry earlier, Rachel accidentally steps toward the swamp, where Richard's pet is located. Until finally he even met a crocodile that is quite large. Inevitably, Rachel who did not want to die also chose to climb the tree so that the crocodile could not eat it.

Richard laughed a little. He called a name very loudly. “Coco.”

“Hey what are you doing?” rachel asked in panic.

Richard simply smiled, looking at his wife above. “Are you still angry?”

For a moment Rachel forgot because she was able to get to this place. The anger that occurred before seemed to disappear just like that found his life in danger. Rachel could not imagine if she had to die in prey by crocodiles. If that happens, no one will be able to find it. Because of that thought, she forgot that she was sulking with her husband.

Meanwhile, seeing Rachel's silence, Rich instead offered help to his wife, but instead sat under the tree. Maybe just this way, Rachel will want to listen to the explanation. “You may be right, from the beginning I knew your identity which turned out to be the daughter of Ben, I approached you slowly. But, all of that is not without reason.”

Richard sat down by bending his knees together, he grabbed a dried leaf that was around and tore it into several small pieces. Maybe just this time, a Richard had to explain his life to someone else. After all before, he was alone. “You know, I lived without being accompanied by my parents since childhood. They were slaughtered by a man I never knew who, and what his ultimate goal was. But I saw clearly how they exterminated my family until there was nothing left.”

For a moment Richard stopped his sentence, while Rachel still listened carefully while hugging the tree trunk. Indeed, he was also not expecting if Richard would tell about his past so soon. However, Rachel also did not intend to stop the husband's explanation.

“So you mean? Dason?” rachel asked in disbelief, but Richard immediately shook his head.

“Dason may also be just a pawn. But the brain of all this is Dante, his father. Your father apologized to me. And I also realize my feelings for you are not that simple, when compared to the grudges that I have been craving. I felt lost when I heard you were taken by them.” Richard stopped his words. For some reason stringing together words of love and confession felt so hard to get out of Richard's lips. His mouth seemed muddy right then and there, but he still tried to string the word as best he could.

“I think my heart is satisfied when all my plans go smoothly. But, no. I almost felt crazy after you left. That's why I decided to forgive your father, and marry you right away. What I taught you this afternoon is not just to torture you. I just want you to be able to protect yourself later if I'm not by your side. You know, being my wife is one of the deadliest positions on you, compared to eating swamp crocodiles here.”

Richard tried to make a joke, but apparently joking about life and death didn't make Rachel laugh. “Then, what are your plans this time?”

“My plan?” Richard stood up from his position. He patted his dirty pants and raised both his hands. “Come down! I'll catch you.”

“Are you crazy? It's very high.” Rachel pursed her lips for a moment. From the beginning, it was this problem that he had difficulty facing. A time where Rachel could ride, but did not dare to go down. It had to make her wait upstairs for so long, even though the crocodile had left her.

“It's okay. Jump here! I'll catch you.” Richard tried to convince the wife, while Rachel could only swallow her saliva with great difficulty. Several times he looked down. However, if it does not go down immediately, his legs have begun to feel cramping after a long time up there.

Rachel looked at Richard who was full of confidence looking at her. She quickly darkened and closed her eyes and just jumped towards her husband. At least if he falls, then Richard will be the base first.

However, with the right observation, of course Richard managed to capture the body of the wife in his arms. “It's safe. Open your eyes,” said Rich looking at Rachel's face up close.

Slowly Rachel began to open her eyes, but a moment later, the moaning sounds of the swamp animals again sounded in Rachel's ears. The woman quickly tightened both hands around her husband's neck. “Hey why did you come again after I got off, huh?’ rachel snaps at a crocodile slowly approaching them.

“Coco, you've arrived. Thank you for taking care of my wife,” said Richard casually.

Rachel stared intently at her husband. Both of his eyes widened to hear the name Richard pinned on the beast. “What did you say, Coco?”

Richard quickly nodded. “Name Coco.”

Not long after, some of the men seemed to run up to Rachel and Richard. “King.”

“Give one cow to Coco. He has taken good care of my wife here. Worth giving gifts.”

“Good, King.”

After giving the order, Richard passed away just like that with Rachel who was still in his arms. For quite a long time Rachel observed Richard's facial lines. Who Richard really was, why Rachel was unceasingly surprised by the many attitudes that Rachel had never understood before.
