Reynald the CEO

Chapter 63

The twilight has changed in the dimness of the night and the more the night feels there is only silence and silence. Reynald stood pensively gazing at the pitch-black sky with no stars or moonlight peeking out just to greet him tonight.

Reynald stood on the balcony of his penthouse every night after accompanying his daughter to sleep. This routine has been done for the past 5 years. He just enjoys his own solitude. Maybe the night is getting quieter, but the overnight in his mind is getting crowded.

A hand suddenly hugged him from behind. Reynald turned his head slightly and shifted his body slowly away to the side.

"You haven't slept?". Reynald asked a glance at Clara who had suddenly come to the penthouse balcony.

Clara gave a thin smile. "Hmm, just can't sleep. I was in your room but you weren't there, so I thought you must be on the balcony and my guess was right hehe". Clara.

Reynald glanced at Clara at a glance and gave a warm smile to the woman who was still his wife.

"You know what, Rey?"

"You always look pathetic standing on a balcony in the middle of the night like this".

Reynald shook his head softly as he chuckled. "Do I look like that?".

Clara nodded. "Yes. Sure was! You're like a heartbroken man. You're a married man. Shouldn't I be the one with the broken heart?".

Reynald looked at Clara with a frown.

"You ignored me for 5 years. We're like playing house-home instead of a normal household! I was wondering if my body wasn't pulling anymore after giving birth to Jessy? But no, my body is still good. Why would my husband not touch me? All of those questions have always been on my mind in the first 1 year we were married, Rey".

Clara said everything without burden as if she was used to the situation.

"I'm sorry, Clara". Lirih Reynald's.

"Who's that woman, Rey? Who is the woman who has replaced my position in your heart?". Clara asked as she stared straight ahead.

"I'm very curious. But I'm confused too.. Where's she? Why do you look so moody since you married me? Is my feeling right? You're like this because of women? If so, who is he?".

"Stop Clara..." Reynald said slowly.

"I've accepted this reality. You just calm down. My heart does hurt when you ignore me and never even touch me again since I came back"

"Only I know. matters of the heart and feelings can never be forced. When my love turns out to have clapped one hand, then I need to accept it with a spacious chest. It's just not always easy to move on, you know that..."

Clara wiped away her falling tears. No one knows how the housewife He actually lived. The public always considered Reynald and Clara were a matching couple and always looked warm to each other on various occasions.

But in reality, neither Reynald nor Clara were more like a colleague who was in one house. They still spend time traveling with Jessy. Attend a lot of big events together. Reynald treated Clara well and gently. There was never any anger or rude attitude that the man showed in 5 years of marriage. Clara always tried to prepare Reynald's daily needs if he still had time before going to the set.

Everything seems normal from the outside, but they never go through a hot night even as husband and wife. Even their bedrooms are separated to this day.

"Simply stop, Clara. I told you never to talk about anything like this again. Don't you find out. I'm on your side right now". Said Reynald oenuh emphasis.

Clara turned to Reynald with a smile.

"Why are you by my side if we can't live a normal life?"

Reynald restored his coarse hair and exhaled violently. He grasped the iron trellis of the balcony firmly.

"If only I hadn't gone from you first... I'm sure it won't be like this, right? You will always love me as warmly as in the past. It was my fault". Clara.

"It has. Rest up.." Reynald stroked Clara's hair slowly.

Clara looked at Reynald with a very deep gaze. His lips carved a smile.

"If you're ready, tell me. Let me just step up. Because whether you or I act, the end of this will still be painful".

"But I'm still happy with one thing Rey..."

"You pamper me so much with the abundance of money in my accounts every month hehehehe" Clara laughed softly and kissed Reynald's cheek at a glance and the woman left Reynald just inside.

Tomorrow...

"Dad, let's go! I'm late!". Said Jessy to Reynald who was still casually chewing bread as breakfast in the morning.

"Dad!"

"Gosh, can you calm down a little bit? It's only half 7. Your school starts at 8, baby". Reynald told his daughter.

"But Mom always said faster is better, Dad. So let's go!".

Jessy's babysitter then approached in a hurry toward the father and son who were arguing.

"Non, right said non Jessy's father. It's too early to go to school. How will non Jessy be alone?". Persuade the nanny.

The 5-year-old girl thought and looked at Reynald.

"Alright, Dad. At 7 we leave!". Jessy said as she stepped into the TV room. Reynald just smiled amusedly at the behavior of the princess only wayangnya.

Two hours later...

Reynald who had just reached the office immediately entered his study. He sat himself in his great chair. The man opened his desk drawer and saw a medium-sized iron safe. Reynald entered the password and scanned his fingerprints.

Click!

The safe is open. Reynald picked up a small black box. He opened the box and pulled out a round pendant necklace.

Reynald twirled the locket as his gaze ran all over his study. He then opened the locket and smiled faintly when he saw a small photo inside.

Reynald still has Anggi's necklace. Although the girl asked him to throw away the round pendant necklace containing their photo, Reynald chose to keep it well in the safe.

Reynald only lived out his monotonous days as usual after his separation from Anggi. For some people, this is probably too much. He and Anggi only had a relationship for no more than 3 months. But for Reynald, the 3 months carved a taste deeply imprinted in the heart.

"Every day you see that necklace"

Reynald raised his head in surprise when he saw Andre standing in front of him with a pile of files in hand.

"When did you come in?". Ask Reynald.

"Told enough that I'm sick of seeing you smile for yourself". Andre Sahut.

"Why don't you knock on the door first?"

Andre rolled his eyes irritated. "I've even knocked on it repeatedly!"

"This is the file you need to check. Let me know when you sign it". Andre then put a pile of files on the table.

"You already know where the girl is. Why don't you just go see him instead of you like a crazy guy staring at a necklace every morning?". Andre looked at Reynald.

Reynald smiled, lifting Anggi's necklace right parallel to his face.

"He lived well, that was enough for me. I don't want to ruin his life. After all she was already a successful woman at this moment, how could she still remember me?".

"He's fine, I'm already very happy to hear that". Reynald said with a smile looking at the necklace right in front of his bead.
