The Bond of Our Love

CHAPTER 69 - We Finally Meet

"Then what about your wife? I heard from Om Helmi that...."

"He was a victim in the flash flood tragedy of the village. And still not found until now. Our family tried as much as possible to find him. But until now there is still no result" Tukas Rahul sad while looking down.

Make Dawn look at him with empathy. Yes, however, he was in that position. The tragic loss of a beloved wife is a very painful thing for a husband. That was how he felt when he lost his wife Shreya for good.

But the pain slowly began to heal, by the presence of the woman he recognized as his wife. Although he still does not know the origin of the woman, but he really hopes that the fake Shreya, is an angel sent by God to be his life companion. Hope so.

"I'm so sad to hear that. You are patient. I can only pray, so that you can meet your wife again" Fajar patted Rahul on the shoulder. Trying to cheer him up as a friend.

"Thank you" Rahul smiled softly.

"Oh yes, but how could your wife be a victim in the tragedy of the village? Is he from the village? Then how did you guys meet?" Fajar became interested to want to know the love story of his best friend.

"long story. We met and got married six months ago. She's a good woman. Although I was still blind at the time, I could still feel that she was a kind and sincere girl in love with me. That's why I decided to marry her"

Rahul told me in a serious and serious tone. Talking about Zahra always made her feelings drift away. Every time I talk about Shreya. I don't know what happened to him. Somehow the two women could have the same place in him.

"wait. So you ever been blind? How do I not know?" Dawn was a little surprised with wide eyes.

"So my family haven't told you anything? Actually the story is too long. I'll tell you sometime. What was clear at the time was that I was in Jakarta for eye surgery, until I could see again as I am now. That's why I was able to avoid the tragedy. Unlike Zahra, who had to be in the village to care for her mother who was sick at that time. "

"You must be very sad and devastated, yes, for what happened to your wife?"

"of course. Where is there a husband who is not sad if his wife is lost without news in a disaster? Plus, the wife who is pregnant with her child" replied Rahul Lirih.

"So your wife is pregnant?" Rahul's words this time made Fajar even more gasp.

"Yes. Wh why? How do you look so surprised?" Rahul knitted his brows.

"Mmm. I'm just sorry about what happened to your wife. You are the stoic yes" Dawn smiled stiffly.

"Yes thank you"

Dawn tries to combine the story of the tragedy that befell Rahul's wife with the tragedy that befell Shreya. In fact, the story is pretty much the same.

Shreya was also the victim of the flash flood disaster that occurred in a village. And the woman was pregnant too. Is it possible if Shreya is.....?

Dawn shook her head. Trying to dismiss the mind that makes him feel tight-fisted. Nope, no! In that tragedy must have been many pregnant women who were also victims! It's not just Shreya! Moreover, not necessarily also Rahul's wife survived the disaster.

Not that he wants to think or expect bad things to happen to his best friend's wife, but he just tries to think realistically. But even so, he will always expect the best for his best friend.

"Oh yeah, then what about your story and your wife? I heard you first met in Delhi? How's story?"

"Yes, we met about six years ago. At that time we were both studying in the same campus. However, different faculties and forces. Four years of relationship. Until finally decided to get married"

Fajar smiled sadly when he remembered the story of love with his beloved wife who had died.

"Gee. Looks like a romantic romance story yes" Tempta Rahul.

Actually in his heart, there was a little jealousy when imagining the togetherness of Dawn with Shreya. But he should be able to pull it off. Because he has no right to feel it.

"Old man? I-you mean, Shreya's parents don't approve of you two?" Tanya Rahul investigates.

"Yes that's it. I've been trying until now to improve my relationship with them. But still there is no result. They still think of me as a pem...." Dawn told me with gibberish.

"Pem? Pem what do you mean?" Rahul asked who was curious about the sudden severed Dawn story.

"Mmm, no. It doesn't matter. Forget it" Dawn shook her head while smiling nervously.

His attitude made Rahul look at him with his eyebrows linked. I felt strange about the man's attitude. Somehow he felt like Dawn was hiding something from him. But yeah, that's it. That's none of his business. He also did not need to interfere too much.

"Oh yes, you said earlier, until now you are still trying to improve your relationship with the Shreya family? So you mean, Shreya's parents are still alive today?" Ask Rahul to make sure.

"Yes, of course. They're in Delhi. Wh why? How are you surprised that?

"No. Its alright. Just wondering" Rahul smiled stiffly. She still remembers very well, when Shreya told her and her family, if her parents were dead.

But now Fajar says that his in-laws are still alive. Why would he get an answer that was out of sync like this? What exactly is the husband and wife hiding? Why does he feel like there's something they're covering up?

********

Shreya was spraying and tidying up the flower plants in the balcony. Although he does not have the passion to do anything, but that is all he can do to drive away the saturation that continues to settle in him.

At least the shapes, colors and fragrances that came from those beautiful flowers could make his mind a little calm.

He looked down at the balcony. Looking at the two cars that were speeding slowly Entering the spacious and elite yard.

Shreya had memorized the Dawn car. Whose other car is it? Did they have guests? Or Fajar takes his friend home? Shreya noticed Dawn coming out of the car. Then walk closer to the car next to him.

From inside the car came a man dressed in clean clothes. His body looks athletic and tall. Shreya watched the man closely and.....

DEG....

Shreya felt her heart would be dislodged. He saw Rahul? That guy here? In front of? Is he dreaming, or hallucinating again like yesterday? Is what he saw really real?

Unconsciously his legs immediately ran while holding his distended stomach towards the elevator. Feelings of longing, haru and pleasure mixed into one and burst into his chest.

As soon as he reached the bottom floor, he immediately ran towards the door. With her opening she opened the door. The door opened and two handsome men stood before him. Both of them looked at him with love.

But Shreya's attention was only focused on Rahul. The man she misses so much. Which for almost a month continues to settle in his heart. Which makes him almost crazy for thinking about it.

And now the man was in front of her?! Looking at him warmly?! If this were a dream, he hoped he would never wake up from it.

Same with Rahul. It felt like he could not believe that he could see Shreya again. For almost a month he had to endure the longing that had been raining down on him for not being able to reach the woman.

All he could do was repeat the memories they had shared. A memory so short but so powerful. As well as looking at the photos of the two of them together which are stored in the memory of his phone.

And now, that woman was actually standing before him. Looked at him so deeply.
