The Destiny That Speaks

Chapter 4

Later in the day, Azura was surprised that Leo had come to her room. He knew that Azura had not been in a room with Ravendra. Hence he went straight into Azura's room and was without feeling guilty for having entered just like that.

Azura knew what Leo was going to do, she was helpless at that time. He was afraid yet he had to remain calm in the face of this situation.

"What are you doing here?" Azura tried to look calm.

Leo tried to convince Azura, "Azura, you know how much I love you. I'm doing this so you can be free with me, away from matchmaking and duty as Ravendra's wife."

"I would never harm Ravendra or just to avoid an arranged marriage. That's not true! I reiterate, I already love Ravendra," Azura replied firmly.

Leo grew frustrated with Azura's rejection. "You can be mine, Azura. We can live a happy life together. I know you love me too."

"I appreciate our friendship, Leo, but this love is not the same as what I felt for Ravendra. I love Ravendra sincerely and will never leave him" Azura said.

Leo felt angry and disappointed, he could not accept this rejection. He felt that his plan had failed both Ravendra and Azura.

Meanwhile, elsewhere, Ravendra and Bima complete their business journey successfully. They are excited to expand their network and opportunities for the company.

However, when Ravendra returns home, she realizes something is odd. Leo held Azura's hand in Azura's room only the two of them.

Ravendra was surprised by what he saw. He could not believe that Azura would betray him. She thought Azura really loved her. But he was wrong all along, Azura only loved Leo.

Azura, who saw Ravendra pecking at the door of the room, tried to give her an understanding. It's not all as he imagined.

Azura was surprised to see Ravendra standing at the door of the room. His face was full of confusion and destruction. He immediately let go of Leo's hand and tried to explain the real situation.

"Honey, I can explain everything," Azura said in a regretful tone.

Just as Azura was about to explain, Leo left the two of them.

Ravendra was still in shock with what he had just seen. "Please explain, Azura. I can't believe what I saw."

"I. I tried to tell you before, baby. Leo loves me, and he's trying to convince me that I can be his. But I rejected his plan, I never wanted to go with him," Azura explained, tears began to pour down her face.

Ravendra felt confused and angry at the same time. She feels betrayed, and her love for Azura is shattered into pieces. He suffered a deep heartbreak.

"But what I'm seeing here.you two are so close" Ravendra said in a trembling voice.

"I'm sorry if my actions were wrong, honey," Azura said regretfully. "I had let my feelings rule me back then, but I realized it wasn't true."

Ravendra pondered on Azura's words, trying to make sense of this complicated situation. His heart was torn between anger, sadness, and doubt.

"I need time to process everything" Ravendra finally said in a shaken voice. "Please leave me a moment."

Finally, Ravendra decided to talk to Azura. He meets Azura in the park, where the two of them often spend time together.

"Azura, I know that you have admitted your mistakes and tried to fix everything. I also realize how much I love you, even though my heart was broken," Ravendra said feelingly.

Azura looked at Ravendra with tears in her eyes. "I apologize for any inconvenience I have felt. But you should know, my love for you is the real one. Leo is my past, and he's gone."

Ravendra clasped Azura's hand gently. "We can't change the past, but we can build the future together with honesty and trust. I choose to forgive you, Azura. We can start all over again, with stronger, more supportive feelings."

Azura smiled happily, happy tears alternating with tears of relief. The two of them hugged tightly, embracing a future that had yet to be etched.

Leo, who had been on the run, was finally caught as well. Ravendra wanted to interrogate him, why he did it.

Leo was eventually arrested and brought before Ravendra for questioning. Ravendra wanted to know the reason for doing the plan and why he dared to enter Azura's room.

"I used to feel jealous of the happiness you have, especially Azura's love for you, Ravendra. I want him to be mine, and that's why I'm tempted to do that bad thing" Leo admitted in a distressed voice.

In fact, Leo planned something else, more than that. He wants to destroy Ravendra's company by approaching Azura.

Ravendra listens carefully and tries to understand Leo's feelings, even though he cannot agree to his wrong actions.

"Jealousy is a human thing, but it should not encourage us to commit evil acts. I wish you could learn from this mistake, Leo."

Ravendra, who is unaware of Leo's true evil plans, looks innocent. He thought that Leo was just jealous of his happiness with Azura at the moment.

Unlike Ravendra who has believed and forgiven Azura, Bima is now more vigilant against Azura. Leo being in the room with him was very suspicious.

Azura is getting better at Ravendra. Now he offers to have a room with her. It makes Ravendra happier.

Meanwhile, Bima still feels suspicious of Azura even though Ravendra has forgiven her. Seeing Azura getting better at Ravendra and offering to one room with her, Bima felt even more worried.

He decided to speak to Ravendra carefully. "Ravendra, I know you love Azura, but after what happened, I feel the need to tell you to be more vigilant."

Ravendra looked at Bima in surprise. "What do you mean, Bima?"

Bima expressed her concern, "I'm afraid Azura is still hiding something from you. He's changed and he's better at you, but it could be because he's trying to hide his bad plan."

Ravendra looks doubtful, but he also understands that Bima is just trying to protect her. "Thank you, Bima. I'll stay alert and try to understand his feelings."

A few weeks passed, Azura got better and paid attention to Ravendra. He tries to prove that his feelings for Ravendra are sincere and that he has no other evil plans.

Ravendra was pleased with Azura's change. She feels her love for Azura is growing and she decides to give a second chance at their marriage.
