As soon as all his schedule ended when the clock showed at 20:50 WIB, Rahul immediately drove his car impatiently to get home and met Shreya.
On his way home, he accidentally passed in front of the flower shop. He decided to stop by and buy a bouquet of flowers at the store. The thunderous sounds started to sound and echo subtly. Looks like it's gonna rain in a minute.
Before going home, he also first stopped by the restaurant and bought some food such as chicken steak, spaghetti. Cap cay sea food, ebi furai, jerky balado, fruit dessert and strawberry juice.
Although it had only been a few days with Shreya, but a little bit he could already memorize the character of the woman in terms of food. He knew that usually if he had eaten, the woman would forget herself and spend quite a lot of food.
Rahul hopes that Shreya will receive and love the flowers and food he buys. She hoped that she would forgive him, and forget what happened this morning.
Carrying such hope, she resumed her journey home.
And sure enough his prediction, when the car he was driving was already about a few kilometers from home, heavy rain fell and flushed the earth. Wetting his fancy car.
The first thing he did so until home was to look for Shreya's whereabouts. He asked the waiter about the whereabouts of the woman. The waiter said that Shreya was in the pool. Making Rahul guess, what is the woman in the pool in the middle of this heavy rain? Not wanting to assume too much, he tried to make sure.
Arriving there, he was stunned to see Shreya standing on the edge of the pool while putting his hand forward. Both of his eyes seemed closed. Let the rain falling down with a swift fall, and hit his palms and face.
Making his face and part of his body wet by the splash of clear liquid that fell from the sky. Accompanied by wind gusts that increasingly cause cold in the weather that night. Shreya seemed to be enjoying the atmosphere. The woman's body language seemed to be expressing her sadness.
Was the woman still sad because of her attitude this morning? Until he calms himself here, mingling with the raindrops that wet his face and hands. Thinking of the possibility, the more it fosters Rahul's guilt.
Slowly Rahul approached Shreya, then he stood behind him. He gently placed his palm under Shreya's hand. Letting the rain wet it too.
Sensing someone touching him from behind, Shreya spontaneously jumped and immediately opened her eyes. Then he turned around, and was even more surprised to learn that the one holding him was Rahul.
He thought after this morning, the man was fed up of seeing her. Why now even find and hold it so affectionately? What else does he want?!
"You? Already home?" Said Shreya ketus while walking towards the chair that was on the floor.
"Yes. I was looking for you up front, but nothing. I'm finally here. Because I know this is your favorite place to be. Aren't we?" Rahul said casually while walking after Shreya. Then he sat down next to the woman.
"Why look for me? Am I not just a careless and careless woman who can only trouble you?" Shreya spoke without looking at Rahul. His voice still sounded dull.
Rahul felt anxious himself at the woman's behavior, which was like a child sulking. But he was happy, even though he was having a snack, at least the woman still wanted to talk to him. Not ignored.
"I never said that you're a woman who likes trouble. You're the one who misunderstood"
"Misunderstand how?! Didn't you say that I'm a careless woman?! What does that mean?! I'm troubling you, right?!" Shreya's chattering.
"Have my words gone too far? Are you feeling very hurt? I'm sorry yes. I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have acted so hard and yelled at you. I'm just worried about your safety and the baby in your womb. I'm afraid yesterday's incident happened again. You fell on the stairs, and I had to take you to the hospital in the rain.
Then on the street I was scuttered and you were sandraged, with a knife pointed at your neck. My feelings were really bad at the time. You knew? I was calm when the doctor told me you were both okay. I'm sorry, if my attitude is too excessive. You want to forgive me?"
Rahul spoke as softly as possible, hoping that Shreya could digest each of his words.
And his hope was achieved, when Shreya finally melted with all his words. With a smile on her face, the woman slowly nodded her head, as a sign that she was willing to forgive him.
Making Rahul immediately sumringah because the debate with the woman was finally finished.
"Oh yes as an apology from me, I have something for you. It's in the car, can I get it?"
"Alright, just a minute" Rahul would get out of the chair as Shreya's phone rang. Shreya picked up her phone, how shocked she was when she found out who was contacting her.
"Hallo"
"Hallo Shreya's. How are you doing now? You're still at Om Helmi's house, right?"
"Yes, I'm still at Om Helmi's house. My condition is fine too. You yourself how are you? How's your job in Thailand?" Shreya was doubtful. Every now and then he glanced at Rahul who frowned looking at him.
"Alhamdulillah my situation is also good. My work in Thailand is done. Even now I have arrived in Jakarta. Wait for me yes. Tonight I'll be there to pick you up" Fajar replied with his cherry across.
DEG....
Shreya was surprised to hear the man's words. He felt his body instantly become weak. His feelings were mixed between sadness and guilt. Dawn's coming back tonight?
Does that mean he should be back with that guy? Leaving this house? His friendship with Rahul for a few days will finally end?
Everything that happened made him not know what to react to? As a woman and as a wife, does she know herself? While her husband was working outside, he was playing with fire and having fun with other men here?
"What's wrong? You're doing okay, right? Who's calling?" Rahul touches Shreya's shoulder. Feeling astonished by the woman's sudden silence and looking sad, after receiving a voice call through her mobile phone.
Shreya stood up. Slowly she turned her body away from Rahul, who also stood up and looked at her in surprise. Then he turned around and ran around leaving Rahul.
With her body still wet from the rain, and tears falling down her face, Shreya kept running around avoiding Rahul who was walking with wide strides chasing him.
The man's face was filled with question marks, will not understand his attitude towards Shreya who suddenly strange after picking up the phone. They both passed room by room. Several times Shreya hit the bodies of servants and bodyguards passing through every room he passed.
"Hey, careful!" Rahul who saw all that could only cry out to warn. The level of worry is growing. He was afraid that the woman would lose her balance and collapse.
All the servants and bodyguards who passed by just put on a look of not understanding, what happened to the two masters who they thought were chasing. Regardless of the workers he had hit, Shreya continued to run to the exit.
He stopped when he reached the end of the terrace. With tears constantly drenching his face, he placed his hands on the porch support pole. Make the pole as a pedestal to maintain the balance of his body that feels tired.
Then he bowed his head to the white-painted pole. He no longer knows how to behave now. On the one hand, she felt so bad as a wife, for having betrayed Dawn. A good and sincere man. And a husband who was very attentive to her.
But on the other hand, he really couldn't get rid of his feelings for Rahul. He was always happy and comfortable to be near the man. Only Rahul is able to make him excited and laugh freely.
He did not want to leave the man. He always wanted to be by his side. He knows what he feels is wrong. But what can he do? He felt that man was already the owner of his heart. What's he supposed to do now?
In the midst of his indecision, a hand touched his shoulder from behind. He quickly turned around and hugged the body belonging to a man, without seeing first who the owner of the burly body was.
"I love you. Ilove you. Hiks" Lirih Shreya interrupted his sobs. His chaotic and unclear mind made him unable to focus. So he thought that what he was hugging right now was Rahul.
"Yes, I love you too" replied the man gently and cheerfully as he returned his embrace.
Shreya gasped at the sound that felt familiar to her. But he was sure it was not Rahul's voice. Then, who was he hugging at the moment? Shreya loosened her embrace, then she turned her head.
DEG....
He was surprised to see Rahul standing right in front of the door. Looking at him who was hugging the man. His eyes seemed reddened and rounded, like he was holding back anger.
