The Bond of Our Love

CHAPTER 62 - Lamenting Your Departure

Shreya held the diamond jewel in the middle of the necklace in a hollow feeling.

A flash of shadow flashed back in his head. The shadow of a man who looks to be pinning his necklace. The shadow made his head feel dizzy. Before he collapsed, Dawn had swiftly caught him.

"Shreya, hey? Are you okay? Are you sick?" Ask Dawn anxiously. His right hand held Shreya's body from behind. His left hand held the woman's arm.

"I.... Me" Shreya unintentionally turned towards the door. Rahul was standing looking at them with a face that showed anger and disappointment.

Seeing the man's gaze, which seemed to express his disrespect to see himself with Dawn, made Shreya's chest again feel tight.

Rahul turned around and stayed away from the room. Shreya who could not hold back anymore, spontaneously stepped on her feet to chase Rahul.

"Shreya. Where are you going?" Dawn held Shreya's arm until the woman's steps came to a halt.

"Mmmm.... A.. I'd like to grab a drink in the kitchen. I'm thirsty" Shreya removed his arm from Fajar's hand. Then he returned to continue his steps to get out of the room. Leaving the increasingly clueless Dawn with his strange attitude.

********

Shreya continued to pursue Rahul until the middle room.

"Rahul" Tegur Shreya.

The woman's voice spontaneously made Rahul gasp and stop his steps. He turned around and saw Shreya already standing behind him.

"Yes. Today you will return to Magelang huh? Once you get there, take care of yourself. Take care of Boy too. Take care of your health. Eat a lot and be nutritious. Remember, Boy needs your nutrition for his growth.

Oh yes one more, later if you want to go up or down, do not go through the stairs. Just use the elevator. It's safer for you. I don't want yesterday's incident to happen again. I don't want you and Boy to go to the hospital again. Ask Fajar to take good care of you and watch over you. Because he is your husband. Be careful on the road. See you around"

Rahul said with a sigh. Her eyes seemed to be glazed behind the smile she was trying to display to cover her sadness.

After saying the words of farewell that felt heartbreaking, Rahul turned back and walked. Leaving the woman who was no longer powerful to stem her tears.

"Rahul" Shreya wants to chase after Rahul again. But this time, he was able to refrain from continuing his steps.

********

That morning Dawn told Helmi and Lesti to return to Magelang with Shreya.

"So you will leave now" Lirih Helmi.

"Yes Om, we have to go back to Magelang now. I said thank you very much earlier. Because as long as I'm gone, all of you have been keeping Shreya well here" Dawn expressed her sincere gratitude.

"Ah done. We are like family. So it should have taken care of each other" said Helmi.

"You guys be careful on the road. Don't forget, come here often again. The door of this house will always be open for the two of you" said Limpal Lesti who felt heavy to let go of Dawn and Shreya.

"Yes Aunty, God willing we will try yes, to be here again. But.... Om and Auntie also dong, once came to Magelang. Cook only the doors of your house that are always open to us. We will also always open the door of our house for you" Seloroh Fajar.

While Shreya just fell silent with a forced smile. He lifted his face up on the balcony. Where Rahul was watching those who were gathered in the front yard of the house.

Seeing the sad look that was revealed from the look in the man's eyes, made Shreya's heart again feel broken. If the man had come to him, and prevented him from leaving, he would have been very happy.

Although it is possible, it can never change the situation. Because he still had to choose to follow the Dawn. Because after all, that man was her husband.

"Hehe. You could have been. Yes, we will try to stop by your place once in a while"

"Yes Om"

"Yes"

"Oh yes Om, Aunt, Gala and Rahul where are you? I haven't seen him since. I also want to hang out with both of them"

"Mmmm.... This morning Gala said she wanted to go to her father-in-law's house with Amora. If it's Rahul, maybe he's busy. It's okay, let Aunt tell them"

The woman who betrayed Dawn and had a bad influence on Rahul? Two people who have the same position in their hearts, namely both as children. Shreya's heart felt melos if he imagined it to happen.

"Oh... Yes, already then. Please give my regards to them, Aunt. Also tell me, if later they go to Magelang, do not forget to stop by our house. We'll definitely welcome them there"

"Yes, I'm sure Auntie will tell you" Lesti nodded.

"Yes already then, we say yes Om, Auntie" Dawn greeted Helmi and Lesti politely.

"Be careful, son" said Helmi softly.

"Om, Auntie, I'm saying yes" Shreya also joined hands with the couple.

"Be careful, baby. Take good care of yourself. Take care of your sikecilu too. May she be healthy, until the time comes for her to be born" Lesti stroked Shreya's round belly, then gently stroked the woman's face.

His heart felt so heavy to let go of the woman. Although Shreya had only come to his house for a few days, he already felt very affectionate towards the young woman.

Moreover, every time he saw and held the woman's distended stomach. His heart feels warm. It was as if he had also felt affection for the fetus that was behind the stomach.

"Yes Aunt"

The dawn walks into the car. So did Shreya, who slowly opened the car door. But his eyes continued to look at Rahul who was still standing on the balcony, and looked at him with the same expression.

The expression was as if telling her 'don't go, I can't get away from you'.

And that gaze always made his heart feel weak and heavy to step on. With a hardened heart, Shreya finally got into a car that immediately drove away from the yard of the luxury house.

Rahul who had just stood there staring at Shreya's departure, finally could no longer hold back. Without a second thought, he ran as fast as he could towards the stairs. Down one ladder after another.

After all the steps had been put on his feet, he finally arrived at the bottom floor. But his footsteps stopped. On what basis did he go after the woman? He did not have any power to stop Shreya's departure. For the one who took her away was her own husband.

What excuse can he use, to prevent a husband from bringing his own wife home? He is precisely the man who does not know himself, who can be the third person in the marriage of his own best friend!

Rahul turned his face. Stabbing his eyes. Holding back the liquid that almost spilled from his eyes that looked reddened.

Again he can only resign himself to being a loser, who must accept defeat in his life. When the woman he loved had to leave him for the umpteenth time.

********

The car that Dawn was driving was traveling at a normal speed limit. Along the way, Shreya was only silent and pensive with the body position leaning on the car seat body.

His heart and mind were filled with Rahul. The sad and disappointed look he saw clearly in the man's eyes, it always felt like his chest was tight. Makes him feel unable to leave.

He only hoped that, hopefully after he returned to Magelang, all the feelings he had felt towards the man would disappear over time. He hoped this was just a momentary feeling. Which will fade and disappear, when she is together again with her husband in their home later.

"Shreya. hey, Shreya?" The dawn that had scrunched its forehead saw Shreya who was always daydreaming, finally could no longer resist reprimanding the woman.

"Mmmm.... Huh yeah?" Shreya flinched and stared at Dawn with a wave.

"You're okay, right? How did you keep daydreaming? Are you thinking of something?" Dawn asked gently with a hint of anxiety.

"Nope-no. I didn't think of anything" Kilah Shreya.

"Really?" Ask Dawn to make sure.

"Y-yes"

"Or maybe you're hungry? How about we stop by the nearest restaurant? Can you order any food you want?"

When Dawn offered him a meal, their car passed by Caffe. Shreya was dumbfounded looking at Caffe who was located right on the side of the road.
