Reynald the CEO

Chapter 78

"Why are you acting like that, huh?". Reynald stared intently at Clara as the two were already in the hotel room.

"What's wrong? We're husband and wife, it's not strange to look friendly, is it?".

Reynald pulled out a red silk tie that wrapped around the collar of the shirt and threw it with origin in any direction. He opened his black coat and threw it on the floor. Reynald then unbuttoned the wrist of his black shirt and rolled it up to the elbow.

Reynald looked at Clara closely. The look in his eyes exuded a peerless annoyance at the woman who was still his wife.

"You're making me careless Clara! Ever since you knew about Anggi, from then on until this moment you've been acting too much! You're spying on me like I'm a criminal! You interrogated Andre wherever I was in one day and where I went on business!".

"Do I not have the right to do all that? I'm your wife, Rey! Which wife do you think can calm down when you find out her husband still loves another woman, huh? I did everything I could to keep you! I'm trying to save this marriage you know!". Clara's murmur stared at Reynald with reddened eyes holding back anger and crying.

Reynald rubbed his face violently. He looked up at the crystal lamp for a moment and exhaled.

"What are you trying to defend against all this? Even since 5 years ago there was never again 'we' in this marriage."

"You said you'd let me go when the day came. You used to give me a choice who would end all this shit. Then why are you acting like you want to fight for marriage now?". Reynald looked at Clara sharply. He's been really tired of Clara's changing attitude for the last two weeks.

"You're a jerk, Rey. You-you... What's wrong with trying to come back from the beginning? Think Jessy!". Clara began to cry.

"Yes. I'm a jerk. I'm the son of a bitch who made you carry my son! But do you think all this is just my fault? Aren't you tired of talking about the same thing every day?"

"You want to keep me on the ground for Jessy? That howyouwant? You're a selfish old man! Even a child can feel unhappiness in both parents, seeing us quarrel, seeing us being quiet and busy with each other. Do you think that's good for her mentality? Ask yourself Clara... Can you live a lifetime dealing with all that?".

"If you still want to be in this marriage, fine... We live in hell together!"

Reynald let out all his anger on Clara. He looked at Clara with a complex face to describe. Reynald soon stepped out of Clara and headed to the hotel room door.

"Where are you going?!" Clara swiftly restrained Reynald's arm.

Reynald brushed off Clara's hand holding her back without looking at the woman and continued in his footsteps.

"Rey!"

"Raynald!!!"

BRACKET!

Reynald closed the door of the hotel room loudly regardless of Clara's screams at all. He felt he needed it himself tonight. He was filled with endless debate with his wife. The woman who had ruled the recesses of her heart for years but now feels it has disappeared somewhere. He tried repeatedly to grow the seeds of love but never succeeded.

I don't know... Maybe his heart was already barren and drying up. But if so, how can the name Anggi always thrive and awake?

Reynald walked out of the hotel. He circulated his gaze in all directions and realized that the hotel he was occupying was currently on an artificial island not too far from the mainland. But still around him at this time there is only a beach.

Reynald looked down at the clothes that were still wrapped in his body. Shirt, material pants with pantofel shoes.

Reynald cursed himself inwardly.

He continued his steps to the beach. Reynald looked as far away as possible towards the dark ocean. The waves and the breezy beach breeze are really a rhythm that calms his mind for now.

"Who goes to the beach in pantofel shoes?". The voice of someone interrupted his daydream.

Reynald then turned his body and was surprised to see Anggi was behind. Standing looking at him. Anggi stepped closer slowly. The breeze of the beach slammed his long hair into a mess but it even looks beautiful in Reynald's eyes. Of course Reynald did not blink at all staring at Anggi.

"Why are your nights here instead of in the room with your wife?". Ask Anggi when the two are already standing face to face.

Reynald blinked his eyes to regain consciousness.

"Why are you here? Didn't you come home from earlier?". Reynald replied to Anggi's question with another one.

"I was just following Rashaad. He wants to stay at this hotel". Anggi said, smiling thinly.

Reynald nodded slowly and turned his face back towards the ocean.

Both of them just stood quietly enjoying the sound of the waves. No one's making a sound. There was not a single topic they could discuss if it was just the two of them. Because only the past will haunt them both.

"Why do we have to see each other again, Rey?" Said Anggi without looking at Reynald as well as Reynald ya g did not turn to Anggi. Their eyes were only fixated on staring at the depth of the night until there was no visible sea line.

"I don't know either". Reynald said slowly.

"After all this time we haven't been in contact with each other, and I've been away from you, why are we seeing each other again?". Anggi Mumbles. Either the speech was addressed directly to Reynald or he spoke to himself.

"The right time maybe?" Reynald asked glanced at Anggi.

Anggi shook his head slowly as if to disagree with the conclusion Reynald made.

"A good time for what? You're married, I have a fiancee and probably will get married soon too.Make me this is not the right time". Anggi a little emotional with Reynald, Ah. more precisely at a state that always does not side with him.

"I'm mad. Real angry. Why do you have to be in front of me again after my painstaking efforts to organize my heart? When Rashaad came into my life? When even my conscience won't allow this to happen?".

Reynald looked confused and did not know what to do. He just sighed and looked at Anggi deeply.

"Don't mind me. Live your life as if you didn't know me in the past. Your life is bright with Rashaad. I'm just gonna live my boring life" too"

As in hell, Reynald muttered inwardly.

The two look at each other. Throwing each other despair that can not be said through the mouth. Until both of them do not realize if there is someone who saw both of them earlier.
