The Bond of Our Love

CHAPTER 68 - Really Want to Meet

The harsh reality is, but it must be accepted. And all he could do to reduce his longing was to look at the photos of his friendship with Shreya through his cell phone.

Two USG photos contain images of Zahra and Shreya's fetus. Two different fetuses and ages, yet equally capable of making his heart feel one thing. It was a warm feeling to see it. He felt his affection for the two fetuses was the same, it made no difference.

Similarly, his longing for Zahra also rose since the departure of Shreya.

"Good day" The door opened from the outside and Gala entered her sister's room. Making Rahul gasp and instantly turn off his phone, and put the USG image back into his wallet.

"Eh Brother. Go in" said Rahul, rubbing his teary eyes.

"What's wrong? How come your face looks so moody again? You remember Zahra?" Gala asked as she watched the look of sadness on her little sister's face.

"If you don't have to ask, brother. Every day, every minute, every second. I always think about my wife. I can never forget it" replied Rahul wistfully and firmly.

"I understand how you feel. But you have to be patient. You must keep praying and trying" Gala said sympathetically.

Rahul got up from his chair, then walked forward and said cynically.

"I always pray, brother. I always pray and try. But where did it go? And about patience, is my patience still lacking? People say that patience will be sweet. The prize is true happiness. But where is the evidence?

Did that happen to me? When I was sincere with my destiny after Zahra was present in my life, God took it away. It made me feel lost again, much more pain than when I lost my sight. And when I can....."

Rahul realized that he had talked a lot. Inevitably he had to be quiet before he slipped.

"What do you mean? How's stopping?" Gala walked over to her sister with a frown.

Rahul shakes. "No-no. Just forget it. Brother himself why here? Tumben's approaching my room? Is there something to talk about, or is there a problem?" Rahul diverts the conversation.

"Mmmm..... That way. Actually, I have to go to Magelang to check and review the construction of our palm oil factory there. I was reluctant to go there because..... I don't want to be away from Amora. The problem..... I want to mend our relationship" Gala said hesitantly.

While Rahul immediately widened his eyes to hear his brother mention Magelang. Fajar and Shreya live there. If he goes to Magelang, it means that he can meet with.....!

Just imagining it already made his feelings soar! Especially if it happens!

"Fixed? Is your relationship deteriorating? What's the problem?"

"Okay, I don't understand either. Lately, I feel Amora's attitude has changed towards me. He was so tired and.... Like ignoring me. I've tried to get close to him but.... Well, maybe without realizing it, I've done something wrong to her. That's why I don't want to go anywhere. I don't want to leave my wife even if it's just for a few days. I'm afraid that it's going to make us stay away" Gala said.

Rahul looked at his brother with empathy. He understands how Gala feels. Because she knows exactly what kind of woman Amora is.

But what can he do? Want to say her brother was too blinded by love, he was like that until he was completely blind. He just hopes, hopefully his brother will never feel what he felt first because trapped in the trap of the petty and selfish woman.

"So I mean tell my sister's household problems what? Want me to replace Brother to Magelang?" Rahul asked with a pretentious voice. Though in his heart, he really hoped that was the purpose of his brother's words.

"Mmmm.... Actually even that if you don't mind. But if you mind, no problem. Let me just...."

"Don't worry, I don't mind at all. Brother take it easy, I will gladly take care of our factory in Magelang. Brother stay here and take care of brother's wife. Okay?" Tukas Rahul enthusiastically.

"You're serious? Why do you suddenly look like this? Did you look careless? How did it suddenly change? You're okay, right?" Gala looked at Rahul in confusion. Not understanding the change in attitude of his sister so drastic.

"Yes, then my brother will be there. Take care of our factory in Magelang, and leave your beloved wife here. Well, thankfully later not taken people" Rahul turned around and spoke on a whim. It made Gala fear herself to imagine it.

"Yes don't. How do you speak that? What do you think, seeing my house destroyed? You know that I love my wife very much...." Gala said tensely.

"Yes.... I would be very happy if you could replace me there. Thank you Bhother. You are indeed my most reliable sister" Gala hugged Rahul proudly. Feeling happy because his sister turned out to be reliable to stop her work.

While Rahul feels flowery feeling, imagining meeting Shreya. She had to admit, this time her brother helped her a lot. Because it has given him a way to go to Magelang.

After almost a month of soaking up the longing that was blowing in the chest, eventually all that longing will soon be channeled.

*********

Rahul went straight to Magelang that day as well. For the sake of professionalism, he went straight to the factory location to conduct a review and check. After that he went straight to the hospital owned by Dawn.

"Hey Bro" Rahul heard the voice of a man greeting him. He turned around and saw the Dawn walking towards him. After being close, the two friends immediately tos each other with his carefree.

"Hey, how are you"

"Alhamdulillah good. By the way, how can you be here? What are?"

"Yes, I happen to be managing and reviewing the construction of an oil palm factory here. I remember you living here, and this is your family's hospital. So I'll drop by"

"It's a real surprise for me. I hope this time we can have as much time as before. Because honestly I am very sorry, when I went to Jakarta yesterday, I was busy to Thailand. When I came back, I had to come straight back here for my job here. I also did not have time to say goodbye to you, because you just disappeared when I came" complained Fajar with a pouting face.

"I'm sorry, I was so busy with my job. So there's no time to talk to you" Rahul smiled wryly.

Actually it was just his reason to avoid the Dawn at that time, because he was very upset because his collaboration with Shreya had to end because of the return of Dawn from Thailand.

Even though he knew that man was innocent. Because here the guilty one is himself, who has the heart to put on Shreya.

"But for this time there is no more reason to be busy. Right up here is Caffe. Let's talk there"

"You are not busy"

"I just finished the operation. So my time is now empty"

"Oh so? Yes, come on"

********

Their conversation continued in Caffe near the Dawn hospital.

"Oh yes, how is Shre... I mean, how's your wife doing?" Rahul so excited when he realized that he was almost slipped.

Heh. The effect of being too enthusiastic to hear the news about Shreya, he forgot the place.

"Thank God Shreya is fine. Now he's home"

"Thank God then" Rahul felt very relieved to hear Shreya was fine.

It had been almost a month that he had missed the woman so much at all times. But does the woman ever remember or think about it, even if only for a moment?

I don't know. Whatever it was, he was eager to meet. Just looking at the woman's face. He was aware of his position and the position of Dawn as the legal husband of the woman.
