The Bond of Our Love

CHAPTER 77 - I'm Going to Go

"What's really going on? You have a problem until you suddenly decide you want to go back to Jakarta? Though your work here is not finished" Feeling something strange with the attitude of his best friend, Fajar again asked by probing.

"I just want to focus on finding my wife. All this time I've been too busy with other things. So I forget, if until now, Zahra is still not clear where it is. So now I'm going to refocus on Zahra and my household. And I'll try to rule out other business first"

Rahul lirih. Sometimes he glanced at Shreya who had just quietly listened while stirring and chewing his food, without joining the conversation of the two men.

As much as possible Shreya tried not to look at Rahul. He doesn't want to be shaky. She had to resist her own words to ask the man to leave her. And now the man has granted it.

So he has to accept it and stay consistent on the decisions he has made himself. He must not be weak and lulled by his wrong feelings.

"Yes, if that is your decision. I can't say anything. But whenever you need my help, don't hesitate to say it" said Fajar sincerely.

"Yes, thank you" Rahul smiled wryly. Once again he saw Shreya. His heart was getting crushed to see the attitude of the woman who ignored him. It turned out that his presence here was truly unwanted! Even to see it for a while Shreya felt reluctant!

But Rahul admits that the woman is innocent. Everything he did was to defend his home.

He should have been amazed at the personality of the woman. Who would rather maintain the sacred bond of her marriage, than a third person like her.

Although heavy, but he must be able to accept it with a chest. He had to take all this as a lesson to refocus on Zahra who had been faithful as his wife all along.

********

Rahul walked down the stairs after the stairs to get to the lower floor. As soon as he reached the bottom floor, his steps stopped when he saw Shreya who was tidying up and put decorative flowers into his vase.

The look on the woman's face looked so grim and moody. There was not the slightest trace of joy on that face. Maybe she was just as disappointed as she was. Disappointed with the circumstances and reality that exist and must still be faced.

Rahul pampered his eyes for a moment. Looking at that beautiful face lingered. A beautiful face that always made her heart feel calm.

Maybe this was the last time he saw that face. Because after this he will leave this house and this city. And that beautiful face would never be seen again.

Realizing that there was someone other than her there, Shreya looked up. And he saw Rahul standing in front of the stairs looking at him. Their eyes immediately clutched.

Shreya looked at Rahul with mixed feelings. Between love, sadness and worry blend into one. His subconscious was eager for him to get up and scatter into hugging the man tightly. He told her how he could not get away from the man, and forbade her from leaving.

But a clear mind prevents it. He must not falter and be lulled again to see the man. He must remain firm on his decision to stay away from Rahul.

Having managed to control himself, Shreya got up from the sofa and walked away from the man. Rahul walked slowly after him.

"Shreya wait" Teguran Rahul managed to stop Shreya's steps. But not enough to make him turn his body. The woman stood back to Rahul.

"Everything you said yesterday, I've thought about it carefully. You're correct. We are wrong. We've been too lulled by false feelings. Until we forget the real truth. To those who have sincerely loved us. We played with their feelings.

So I've decided, if tonight I'm going back to Jakarta. I will continue my life by re-prioritizing myself to look for Zahra. And I will also try to forget what happened between us. I also hope that you can live happily with your husband here. And I'm sorry, if I've ever been in your midst"

Not wanting too long to be lulled by feelings of sadness, Rahul finally decided to leave the middle room.

After the man left, Shreya turned her body around. With tears streaming down her face, she looked at Rahul who was walking with wide strides away from her. He could only stare at the back of the man who was getting further and further away from him.

Without being prevented again, he stepped foot chasing Rahul to get out of the house. Once outside, he saw the man enter his car which immediately drove off the spacious yard. Shreya looked at the car that Rahul was driving in with a feeling of sadness and emptiness.

The man is gone. Maybe after this he will never be able to see Rahul again. Its fault. He wanted all this. He himself asked the man to stay away and leave him.

And now Rahul grants it. The man really left this place. Shreya's hard-earned defense finally collapsed as well. His love is far greater than his principles.

But it's all too late. Now all he could do was lament his empty days like before!

********

Rahul drives his car with a bad feeling. Shreya's disregard for her, not even wanting to see her face made her feel very hurt and disappointed.

Although her wise soul justified Shreya's decision, still, being ignored by the woman made her heart look like it was being sliced open!

But he should not be too long dissolved in his disappointment towards Shreya. He must remember Zahra, his legal wife! He should have realized. Maybe all this is a rebuke for him. Because he had dared to look at another woman, and had the heart to betray a woman as sincere as Zahra.

Though he knew very well how painful it was to be betrayed, when Amora dumped him blind first! And he sincerely loved that woman, so much that he was willing to sacrifice everything!

But now, she was just like Amora?! He forgot and ignored Zahra who was in misfortune and needed her! Though the woman really sincerely loves him for what he is!

How evil he is right now! It seemed like leaving Magelang was a very correct decision. Because as long as he's here, maybe he'll be forever lulled by Shreya's whereabouts and will keep forgetting Zahra.

When his mind was busy wandering on his love problem, suddenly his phone rang. Rahul immediately raised a voice call from his personal assistant.

"Yes Adam. Yes, I'll be there right now" Rahul ended the voice call with Adam. And refocus driving the vehicle, towards the place intended to carry out the meeting.

********

Rahul arrived at Caffe a few minutes later. After parking his car, he went straight into the elite and luxurious Caffe.

From a distance he could see Adam sitting in conversation with a middle-aged man, and a young man who looked to be his age. Rahul approached them. Seeing the presence of his superiors, Adam immediately moved and greeted him with great respect.

"Good morning sir"

"Bagi"

"Second sir, this is Mr. Ricky. One of the best contractors in the city. And this is his assistant Hari" Adam pointed and introduced the two men in front of him.
