The Destiny That Speaks

Chapter 19

That night, Azura lay on her bed, brooding about everything that had happened. He finds it increasingly difficult to keep his plans hidden from Ravendra. However, he knows that he must stick to his bigger goal of protecting Ravendra's company and uncovering Leo's sinister plans. Although his heart was heavy, Azura vowed to go ahead regardless of his anxiety.

Because of his anxiety because he had lied to Ravendra, Azura had another nightmare about her previous life. This time he had a dream about how he was trying to get rid of Ravendra so that Ravendra would disappear for good. That way, he can get married and live together with Leo.

In the nightmare that haunted her, Azura felt a wave of uncontrollable anxiety. He is swept away in a dark scenario, seeing himself in his previous life with a dark desire.

Azura felt trapped in her own conspiracy. He plans immoral actions to rid Ravendra of his life. His face filled with an expression of confusion and fear reflected the feeling between bad urges and inner opposition.

Azura tries various ways to make Ravendra disappear, with deeper trickery and betrayal. Now he's getting bolder, plotting to take Ravendra's life by poisoning him.

Azura pretends to be nice to Ravendra by offering him a glass of water. Ravendra was slightly surprised by Azura's sudden good treatment. But Ravendra thought well, he thought maybe Azura would change by being nice to him.

Ravendra received a glass of water offered by Azura with a faint smile on his face. There was confusion emanating from his expression, but he chose to give Azura the advantage of doubt. Azura stood nearby with a polite look, yet there was hesitation in her gaze. They were both in a fragile moment, when the silence between them could almost be felt.

"Thank you," Ravendra said in a friendly tone, trying to open the conversation. "Is there something you want to talk about?"

Azura looked at Ravendra, as if thinking for a moment before finally answering in a soft voice, "Ravendra, maybe this is the right time for us to talk about some things. I know that we're married and I want to try to give my best in this marriage."

Ravendra nodded slowly, still with an expression full of question marks. "I'm listening. What do you want to say?"

Azura gulped her saliva, feeling her heartbeat speeding up. He felt palpitating in the face of Ravendra who did not know if the drinking water given by him had been dripped with deadly poison.

Azura tried to be casual, "Ravendra, I knew that I initially had complicated feelings regarding this marriage. However, I want to give our relationship a chance. I want to try to be kinder and support you, like you should be."

Ravendra listened seriously, still trying to process Azura's words. He felt that something was hidden behind Azura's words, but he was not sure what it was.

"I understand that this may sound sudden," Azura continued, "but I really want to try. But I also want you to know, I have some concerns and feelings that need to be expressed. I want us to be able to talk openly and honestly."

Ravendra pondered for a moment, then nodded slowly. "Alright, Azura. I concur. I want us to be able to mend this relationship and talk about whatever you want to say."

Azura was relieved to hear Ravendra's reply. He knew that this move would not be easy, but there was at least hope before him. He smiled lightly, "Thank you, Ravendra. I wish we could get through this together."

Ravendra returned the smile, creating a hint of light between them. "I hope so too, Azura. We can support and understand each other."

Ravendra began to feel calm and exuded a happy look on his face. Smiling at Azura, she started drinking water inside the glass Azura had been poisoned with. Azura returned a smile, but Azura's smile was the successful smile of her plan.

Azura vigilantly watched Ravendra's every move. He noticed how Ravendra drank the water from the glass carefully, and for a moment stopped, then drank it again until it ran out. However, as Ravendra seemed to look fine after drinking it, Azura felt a little uneasy.

Azura tried to remain calm and behave naturally. His heart was pounding due to the success of his plan, but he did not want to show any signs. Azura felt confident that the poison she had put into the glass had worked.

Ravendra suddenly felt a strange sensation in his stomach. Ravendra felt a great pain urge. The sensation made him feel hit and almost knocked him down. He felt an unbearable nausea and finally, without being able to endure it anymore, he vomited violently, and an unnaturally deep red liquid came out of his mouth.

Azura immediately pretended to be panicked and shocked. He ran up to Ravendra, played his part very well. He looked like he was very worried and asked for help by calling the hospital. He shouted to the hospital to call the medical team, asking them to come immediately to help Ravendra.

Azura tried hard to play her role, pretending to be worried. He seemed to be trying to give first aid to Ravendra, while occasionally lowering his head and wiping the eyes moistened by false tears. He felt his heartbeat quicken, but he knew that this was part of his plan.

"Ravendra, please hold on!" he said with a trembling voice, while continuing to hold Ravendra's hand tightly. "The medical team will be coming soon. You must stay strong!"

Ravendra looked really weak, but his eyes still tried to find Azura's face. With great difficulty, he said such soulful words. "Azura. I'm lucky to be met with a woman as beautiful and as good as you..."

Tears increasingly flowed profusely from Azura's eyes as she continued to act. She tried to reply to Ravendra's words with an even stronger cry, as if she was really afraid of losing her husband. In her heart, she felt a combination of complicated emotions, between role-playing and feelings of guilt.

However, suddenly, the hand of Ravendra he was holding became saggy, and Azura could feel her breathing weaken. His eyes slowly closed, and Azura felt a tremor stopping from Ravendra's hand. He lowered his head, trying to control the mixed feelings that were in his heart.

When the medical team arrived, they immediately attempted rescue measures. However, after a moment of struggle, they nodded sadly and announced that they could not save Ravendra. Azura pretended to be hysterical, releasing tears and a deep sense of loss. He looked very desperate and broken.

Amidst the chaos, no one suspected that this was the result of Azura's evil plan. He continued to play his role well, while making sure that he did not let the slightest expression of satisfaction or victory emanate from his face. In her heart, she knew that this was the end of her plan, and that she had to continue playing roles to keep her dark secret.

Azura continued to play her part well, even as the medical team suggested performing an autopsy as a standard procedure. He gritted his teeth and, trying to contain the feeling of panic, he said, "No, please don't do an autopsy. Our family wants to pay their last respects in a quiet way."

The medical team finally honors his request, and Azura immediately arranges for Ravendra's funeral. He made sure that the funeral was held grandly and with great honor. The families, employees, and clients of Alfonsa company are present with a sincere memory of the figure of Ravendra. Azura continues to play a grieving and pain-filled widow, feeling the weight of her increasingly heavy role.

Ravendra's funeral ceremony was held in a very quiet and solemn atmosphere. The sky looked overcast, giving a dramatic touch to the sorrowful atmosphere. People gathered at the cemetery to pay their last respects to Ravendra's figure.

The burial site was filled with bouquets and fresh flowers neatly placed around the coffin. There are also various special services such as music services that add to the atmosphere of haru. The silence was only interrupted by the sound of water gurgling and the gentle breeze blowing slowly.

The priest, dressed in a robe, stood near the coffin, leading the last prayers and tributes. Ravendra's family, including Azura who was wearing all-black clothes, seemed to drift away in grief. She held back her cries, trying to stay firm in the midst of a difficult situation.

The employees of Alfonsa company were also present, wearing uniforms that were also black. Their faces were full of expressions of grief, given the important role Ravendra played in their company and in their lives.

Suddenly, the rain began to fall slowly, as if giving natural tears to the cemetery. Some people folded umbrellas, while others simply let themselves wet in the rain, as if grieving for Ravendra's departure.

At the end of the ceremony, when the coffin was about to be lowered into the burrow, the atmosphere was getting louder. Azura and the family walked slowly towards the pit, and at that moment Azura cried as if her cries could no longer be held back. He felt like he was claustrophobic in his chest, and people had been deceived by his charade.

They paid their last respects, Azura stepped forward with her mother and father. Their eyes were filled with tears, but they were trying hard. When Azura stood in front of the tomb, she did not feel the slightest hesitation and regret.

After his mother and father paid their respects, Azura knelt beside Ravendra's grave. She seemed to feel sad and hurt, her mother and father approaching her. They embraced Azura with great affection. Although they did not know what was really going on, they could sense that Azura was going through a difficult moment. With warm gazes, they gave their daughter support and calmness.

"Patience, Son. It's a tough test, but you can definitely get through it. We have to stay strong together" his mother said in a soft voice.

"Azura, whatever you're going through, remember that we're always here for you" added his father, with a tender hand rubbing Azura's back.

Azura felt warmth in her parents arms. Although her heart is torn apart by the secrets she keeps, she feels the unwavering support and love of her family.

As the coffin was placed into the burrow, the final sounds of prayers and prayers were heard, accompanying the burial procession. The rain that is getting heavier seems like the cover of a chapter in life that has now ended. Everyone left the place where Ravendra had been buried, they said goodbye to Azura.

Leo and Lita were also there, giving their condolences to Azura. Leo spoke sympathetically and gave false support. Lita follows the plot of Azura's game well, playing her role as a loyal friend and also grieving over Ravendra's death.

After the funeral ceremony was over, Azura, Leo, and Lita returned to Azura's residence. They celebrate their "success" with a small party at home. They enjoyed the food and drinks, as if they were celebrating a great achievement.

Azura felt the adrenaline still flowing in her body. Amidst the laughter and joking, he kept trying to ignore the guilt and fear that haunted him. He feels entangled in an increasingly complicated and dangerous game. However, she knew that she had to continue to keep her role, no matter how difficult it was.

Azura suddenly hugged Leo, but Leo felt a little awkward as Lita looked at him with a dislike look. Leo took off Azura's arms in fear that someone would see them embrace. Leo was afraid that people would become suspicious if they saw him hugging after the funeral.

Azura felt confused as Leo took off his embrace. He can feel discomfort when Leo creates distance between them.

"Why, Honey?" Azura is confused by Leo's unusual treatment. Because just this time Leo took off his embrace.

"Not now, dear. What if someone sees us hugging? I don't want your good name tarnished because of our treatment. Have patience, dear." Leo explained.

"All right." Azura obeyed Leo.

Azura hopes the relationship with Leo can be more intimate after the departure of Ravendra, it turns out that everything is not as easy as she imagined.

"Honey, to be honest what you've done is too far. I just want to take down Ravendra's company, there's no need to get rid of it." Leo said.

"But, Honey. I'm doing this all for you, for us." Azura explained the reason.

Leo looked at Azura with eyes filled with mixed feelings. He nodded slowly and replied in a heavy voice, "I understand, Honey. But you should know, what you're doing is already so overreaching."

Azura looked into Leo's eyes sincerely, trying to exude the confidence she had in her role. "Darling, you know our purpose. I want us to be together without boundaries, without secrets. And that's why I have to be sure that nothing can stand in our way. Including Ravendra."

Leo nodded slowly. "But honey, what we're doing is going to put a lot of people at risk, including yourself."

Azura held Leo's hand gently, trying to convey what was in her heart. "Honey, I've reached a point where I can no longer control my feelings. I want us to be free, without fear and guilt. And for that, we need to end all of this completely."

Leo agreed. He grabbed Azura's hand tightly, trying to find some certainty in his eyes. "Alright, Honey. I will support you in whatever decision you make. But we have to know the risks we're going to face."

Azura smiled sincerely, feeling as if a huge burden had been lifted off her shoulders. "Thank you, honey. I know it's not easy, but we're gonna get it done together."

The three continued their celebration, but this time with a calmer feeling. Azura feels slowly she can get close to the point where her plan will reach its end, where she can live life with Leo without the restrictions and secrets that haunt her. However, he also realized that this dangerous game was far from over.

Azura's current concern is the fear of anyone investigating Ravendra's unnatural death. Especially if you have to deal with Bima, because Bima knows very well if Ravendra is fine a few hours before they split. To cover it up, Azura advises Leo to immediately spread false news about the embezzlement of funds by Ravendra, so that the name Ravendra becomes bad in the eyes of clients and the company.

With this event Leo will get two benefits, first he gets clients, and secondly he can have the company Alfonsa because the value of its shares dropped dramatically. Then Leo can launch the action by pretending to help the Alfonsa company from destruction by buying it.

Leo listened to Azura's proposal with a serious expression. Although the plan sounds devious and evil, Leo cannot deny that this could be a great opportunity for him. He had indeed planned this out taking into account all possible viewpoints and consequences.

After a moment of thought, Leo finally nodded. "There are plenty of opportunities in this situation, dear. Although this plan sounds dangerous, I acknowledge that it can be an effective way to achieve our goals. However, we need to be careful and plan carefully."

Azura nodded her head in agreement, feeling relieved if her plan was acceptable. However, he also feels increasingly trapped in an increasingly complicated cycle of lies and manipulations.

"We just need to do more research on the Alfonsa company" Leo continued. "We must gather strong data to support the fake news we are about to spread. If this plan works, we're sure we can make a big profit."

Azura nodded again, feeling her feelings divided between euphoria and guilt. He knows that what they are doing is wrong, but his strong interest in being with Leo and ending his match with Ravendra makes him choose this path.

With the plan they agreed on, Azura and Leo began to plan their next steps. They devised strategies to collect data, spread fake news, and devised ways for the Alfonsa company to actually incur significant losses.

Carefully and carefully, Leo carried out his plan. He set up fake news about the alleged embezzlement of funds by Ravendra and the involvement of Alfonsa's company in the act. The news is directed to the media and also uploaded on strategic online platforms.

This fake news spread quickly, and the Alfonsa company began to shake. His shares fell drastically, and Ravendra's image as a successful and honest businessman was tarnished. The employees and clients of Alfonsa company are confused and worried about the future of the company.

Meanwhile, Leo plays like a helper who comes with an offer to save the company Alfonsa. He appeared in the press conference with a serious and sympathetic face. Leo announces that he will buy the Alfonsa company to prevent its destruction. This action, of course, gained the attention and support of many parties.

Meanwhile, Azura was in a complicated situation. He was involved in this massive manipulation and saw the impact on Mr. Doni, his employees, and clients. Her true good nature is further squeezed by the heavy burden of secrets she keeps. Although his goal is to be free with Leo, his heart feels increasingly trapped.

Leo and Azura continue to execute their plans, establishing Leo's image as the savior of the Alfonsa company. However, the further the plan went, the harder it was for Azura to feel relieved by what she was doing. He feels responsible for the loss and suffering of those around him, including the innocent Ravendra.

Not only that, Azura also felt a deep inner conflict as she realized that she was getting more involved with Leo. His feelings for Leo are getting stronger, but he also feels guilty for hiding all of this from the people he loves.

When Alfonsa's company truly belongs to Leo, Azura realizes that she has entered a dangerous and complicated world. He is in a maelstrom of lies and manipulation, and he must face the consequences of the actions he takes. There is no turning back, and Azura must face a complicated future with Leo, with all the consequences that follow.

After various events involving the two of them, Azura felt it was time to clarify her relationship with Leo. He feels a strong sense of vibration towards Leo, and he wants to know if Leo feels the same way. They sit together in a cafe, the atmosphere is quite calm and romantic to talk about serious things.

Azura looked at Leo with expectant eyes. "Darling, I feel like we've been through so much together. I know our relationship is unusual, but I want to know what's really between us."

Leo looked a little uncomfortable, but he countered Azura's gaze. "Darling, you know that I care about you. We have a complicated relationship, and I appreciate all the moments we've been through together."

Azura felt there was uncertainty in Leo's words. "But, honey, I wonder if we can go any further. I wonder if you can see the future with me, if you can imagine us…"

Leo quickly cut out Azura's sentence. "Honey, I'm afraid I'm not ready to talk about this. You know I have a huge responsibility for the company I just took over, and I need to focus on that."

Azura felt her heart thump. He was disappointed and confused by Leo's response. "But, honey, I think we've been through so much. Don't you want to take things more seriously with me?"

Leo grabbed Azura's hand gently. "Darling, that's not the problem. I just need some time. I want to make sure everything goes well in my company before I think about other things."

Azura shook her head with a hint of sadness in her eyes. "I just want to know the certainty, honey. I know we have a strong bond, but I want us to move forward into marriage, I want to be your wife."

Leo felt guilty and tried to convince Azura. "Darling, I don't want to lose you. I just need time to arrange everything well. We can still be together, but I need to focus on my work now."

Although her heart was still turbulent, Azura felt she needed to give Leo some time. He understands that Leo's business is his top priority, and he doesn't want to be a burden to him. However, he also knew that he should not delay his feelings for too long.

Inwardly, Azura promises herself that she will give Leo time, but will also keep her happiness. He hopes that one day, Leo can overcome his fears and give the answers he hopes for.

As proof of his great love, Leo comes to Azura's house. Azura happily greeted Leo at the doorstep, a warm smile etched on her face. However, before he could say anything, Leo gently pulled him in a hug. Their eyes met, so intense and filled with unspoken feelings.

There were no words thrown out, only the vibrations of emotion flowing between them. Leo felt Azura's heartbeat, while Azura felt Leo's rapid heartbeat. Leo slowly brought his face closer, touching Azura's lips gently.

Azura felt like she was floating, every touch of Leo's lips implied so many feelings that she wanted to hear. Leo kissed her gently, but also filled with a deep sense of love. They get caught up in this moment, forgetting all the uncertainty and confusion.

Leo felt the tremors of Azura's hand embracing him tightly. She could feel how Azura returned her kiss with great passion. Leo wants to vent his feelings, convincing Azura that he feels the same way too, even if he still can't say it with words.

After a while, Leo slowly let go of their kiss, but still hugged Azura tightly. He looked at Azura's eyes with an intensity that was hard to describe. There were no words to say, their feelings spoke for themselves.

Azura felt warm and loving in Leo's arms. Although no words were spoken, she could feel how much Leo felt about her. Leo didn't need to say the word "i love you" to make Azura feel that vibe.

The two of them spend time together in silence, feeling each other's presence lovingly. This is the moment they need to strengthen their bond, showing that these feelings are real and sincere.

When Leo finally stretched out their embrace, he looked at Azura with a warm smile. Azura felt a calmness in her heart, she knew that this was the beginning of something deeper and real.

Leo said softly, "I may not have been able to say it in words, dear, but I promise that I will always be there for you. I want to go further with you."

Azura felt a response from Leo's heart, and she knew that right now, words were no longer necessary. They had already expressed their feelings by treatment, in a more profound and sincere way. And with a meaningful smile, Azura just said, "I know, honey. I know."

"Darling, going to the room?" Leo teases Azura. "I'll make you feel happiness."

Azura blushed in embarrassment but she nodded her head wanting more than just making out and kissing. Leo clasped Azura's hand towards her room, then closed the door and began to perform forbidden pleasures.

Leo began to kiss Azura, unbuttoning her clothes one by one. He had to take off all the clothes that were attached to Azura so that there was not a single thread blocking Azura's beautiful body. She made Azura so passionate with her teasing gaze.

Azura did not hold back her passion, leaving all of Leo's clothes off until only ************ are still attached to Leo. Their gazes met each other and finally they enjoyed each other's beautiful body attached to them on the big bed that Azura belonged to.

This is not the first time Azura has experienced the pleasure that Leo gives her. However, what he felt at this moment really made him want Leo completely.

Azura drooped limp, Leo actually made her levitate and helpless. Leo looked at Azura, satisfied with what he had done.

"Dear, want a drink? You look weak and exhausted." Leo offers Azura a drink as a form of attention.

"Yes, Honey. I'm so thirsty, please get me a glass of cold water." Azura who is tired is not strong to wake up, especially if you have to go down to the kitchen to get drinking water.

"Alright, Honey. I'll get ya, you just take a break for the second round." Leo whispered fondly in Azura's ear.

Azura smiled shyly but wanted to. He was very happy with Leo's treatment of him which always gave him infinite pleasure and happiness. Leo truly understands how to treat a woman.

Leo went to the kitchen to get a glass of water. Today it happens that the waiter who used to work at Azura's house is returning home, so Leo can freely go to the kitchen just by wearing ****** ********.

No need to wait for long, Leo returned to Azura's room with a glass of water in his hand. With a seductive smile, Leo gave a glass of cold water to Azura's hand.

Azura got up to fetch some water with one hand, one of her hands again holding a thin blanket that covered her chest. He drank the water given by Leo until it was gone. Azura was very thirsty.

Leo took the empty glass from Azura's hand. Stored the glass on the table above which there is a windmill-shaped sleeping lamp.

"Darling, I'm gonna take a shower. My body is sticky, full of sweat." Leo held Azura's cheek gently.

Azura nodded softly, but kept smiling as she imagined she would enjoy being together again with Leo.

Leo went to the bathroom and cleaned himself up. It was heard by Azura that the water flowed, but after that Azura could not remember what happened.

A few hours later, Azura found herself still drowning on her bed. But he did not see Leo in his room. Then he saw a scrap of scrap paper that read a message,

Honey, you look so tired. After I finished the bath, I saw you sound asleep. I dare not wake you. Rest, I have prepared drinking water for you. Don't forget to drink. I love you.

Azura smiled after reading the message from Leo. She was very happy to see the word love in the message written by Leo. Azura drank the water she had provided, and thought that Leo was really very attentive to her.

The next day, Azura still felt weak. He could not get out of his bed. He was not hungry but thirsty. Azura tries to contact Leo.

Azura took her phone on the table. With great difficulty he tried to grab his phone and search for Leo's name inside his phone. He then pressed the phone button.

"Hello, Honey." Azura greeted Leo first.

"Hello, Honey. How are you doing?" Leo answered the phone call from Azura.

"Darling, I'm so limp. Please help me!" Azura asks Leo for help.

"Darling, I can't seem to. I have an important meeting today. How about I send a replacement waiter for a while until your waiter returns?" Leo offered.

"As far as you are, dear. My body was so limp, I couldn't even get out of my bed." Azura's voice started to weaken.

"Alright, Honey. I'll have someone drive a substitute waitress to your house. Rest up!" Leo hung up the phone.

Shortly after, a young woman arrives with a middle-aged woman, who turns out to be Leo's secretary. "Mom, are you okay?"

"Hi, thank you for coming. I'm so thirsty, can you get me a drink?" azura Pinta.

"Bi, please help Ms. Azura get up and get dressed. I'm going to the kitchen to get some water to drink." get Leo's secretary to the surrogate.

"Okay, ma'am." replied the substitute waiter.

His secretary Leo went to the kitchen to get some drinking water. Only a short time later, he came with a glass of water and drank it on Azura.

"Thank you for helping." Azura smiled but was still weak.

"No problem, Azura. I'm happy to help, and it's also my duty as secretary to Mr. Leo. I have to be ready with all Mr. Leo's orders." said his secretary Leo.

Azura had been dressed aided by a substitute servant, yet she was not yet strong enough to get up.

"Mr Azura, forgive me. I can't accompany you any longer. I have a job in the office." Leo's secretary told Azura.

"Yes, I understand. Be careful on the road." Azura said.

Azura's body was getting weaker by the day. He always felt thirsty and asked the substitute waiter to always bring him water to drink for him.

Azura heard the sound of a parked car, she recognized the sound of the car, Leo's Toyota Fortuner. Azura's heart was delighted when she heard the sound of Leo's steps towards her room. Yet...

"Let's...!" Azura awakens from her nightmare, a dream that feels so real. Tears wet his cheeks, not because he remembered the next incident in his dream, but he cried because he regretted killing Ravendra.

He was very sorry, even in his last moments, Ravendra said he really loved him and was lucky to have him.

Azura's tears flowed unstoppably and deeply. 'Azura is stupid, so stupid! Ravendra who is so sincere in love with you, even you are wasted. What's on your mind, Azura?'

When Azura awoke from her nightmare, she felt a gust of cold air and turned her gaze around her comfortable room. He heaved a sigh of relief, trying to cast out the dark shadows and harm his mind, and focused on the reality before him.

He was fortunate to have been given the opportunity to correct all his mistakes. This time, she would not waste the heartfelt love of her husband, Ravendra. He was determined not to repeat the same mistake.
