NOT AS BEAUTIFUL AS HEAVEN S1/S2

Chapter 62. Reno and Rachel

Rachel and Farhan's other friends are busy preparing food for the end of the night. While the others were busy, Reno quietly approached Rachel. Standing next to the woman who was putting the cake into the box.

Farhan and the four others were outside drafting seats for the takziahs. Maybe they didn't realize that Reno had gone away from them and approached Rachel.

"Why leave the villa without saying anything?" ask Reno.

Rachel remained lowered not daring to look at Reno. Feeling guilty about the man who helped her.

"I don't feel good being in a man's villa. Afraid of being slandered. Whatever my status is still the legal wife of a Farhan," said Rachel slowly.

"What did my mother say? Did he kick you out?" ask Reno.

Reno knew that her mother had come to the villa from the guardian aunt. He also said that the man's mother drove him to the terminal.

At first Reno was so worried that she had someone investigate. When she found out Rachel was with Farhan, her heart was a little relieved. He then came here after hearing the news of suffering that was befalling Farhan.

"Where did Brother Reno know Mama Brother came to the villa?" ask Rachel.

"What did my mother say?" Reno asked again without answering Rachel's question.

"Mama sister Reno didn't say anything. I left because of my own will. My feelings are not good. Turns out right, my in-laws are gone. Someone I just met, but loved me with all my heart. Will there be anyone else who loves me as sincere as father and mother. It feels like the hardest ordeal for me is right now!" rachel said with tears in her eyes.

"I'm sure Rachel, you must be strong against all this. Believe that behind all the misfortunes, God must have prepared something good after that. What more if you just accept it."

"I don't know why God chose me as one of these hard-faced humans. I don't know from which side God saw my toughness and ability to get through all this. Every night we cry out for self-pity. Every day I have to pretend I look okay. In front of everyone I have to endure complaining, brokenness, anger, all I can endure alone" Rachel said stammeringly in tears.

"How can God give such a weak test to me? How can God believe that I am capable, while I doubt myself? I really got to the point of surrender, I asked God not much, if this is my way, strengthen me in what has become my destiny, Brother," said Rachel again.

Farhan and his four friends were still stunned to hear Rachel chatting so smoothly and intimately. Andin looked smiling wryly.

"I'm sure you're strong. Do you remember when you lived alone and had to make a living at a young age, you were able to get through it, right? I'm sure you're capable at the moment, too" Reno said.

"It was also because of Brother Reno who often helped me and gave me more money. Thank you, Brother. I always trouble you if there's a problem" said Rachel.

"It's not because of my help. The proof after we separated, you are even calmer, more mature, and able to face the rigors of living alone" said Reno.

Andin walked slowly towards Farhan. He said with great pressure. "It turns out your wife isn't as innocent as you and others think. You said your wife went back to the village, didn't know she ran away with Reno. And more surprisingly they're old friends" Rachel said with a cynical smile.
