The Destiny That Speaks

Chapter 7

Azura came out of her room with definite steps, wearing black and white clothes that were so elegant and suitable for the morning atmosphere. The dress complements her graceful figure, displaying a side of her elegance and confidence.

As his eyes met with Ravendra, he felt his heart beat faster. Ravendra stood in the living room in a suitably dressed shirt and suit, exuding undeniable charm and charisma. His handsome and dignified face seemed to hypnotize Azura, making her feel enchanted.

"Are you ready?" ravendra asked with a warm smile that made Azura's heart melt.

Azura nodded, trying to calm herself down so as not to be too affected by Ravendra's presence. "Yes, it's ready. Can we have breakfast now?"

Ravendra nodded while offering his arm to Azura. "Of course, come on!"

The two walked side by side towards the dining room, creating an atmosphere full of serenity and familiarity. Azura is happy to be with Ravendra in moments like this. Their struggle to get to this stage is very winding, they both seem to have made it through the difficult period.

Breakfast took place with a warm atmosphere, the two of them shared stories and light jokes. Azura could not help but smile at how Ravendra was so attentive towards her. Every sentence uttered by Ravendra made Azura's heart believe that he had chosen correctly.

In his heart, Azura was grateful for the presence of Ravendra in his life. Although initially their marriage was tinged with doubt, Azura now feels more comfortable and familiar with Ravendra. With each smile and gaze, Ravendra reminds Azura that love can grow over time, even though it is not perfect at first.

The breakfast menu this time is different from usual, which is usually bread with beef eggs or with jam, now they eat fried rice special that is fried rice steak, specifically Azura request.

A different breakfast menu this time gives a special touch to their morning. Azura and Ravendra sat at the dinner table, enjoying a beautifully arranged steak-fried rice dish on a plate.

This delicious fried rice gives a different flavor to start their day. The spice flavor and savory taste of steak meat create the perfect blend. The two of them enjoyed every mouthful, while talking about their plans for today.

The atmosphere of that morning was filled with the aroma of their appetizing food and light laughter. This different breakfast is the perfect way to celebrate their togetherness and face the new day with passion and happiness.

Yesterday Azura asked the waiter to prepare breakfast with a special fried rice menu, she had her own reasons. This special fried rice was the usual menu made by her mother every morning, and Azura felt longed for the taste and memories associated with it.

Breakfast was not only about food, but also about connecting himself with memories with his family. This special fried rice flavor brings back the sweet memory of early mornings at home with her mother.

Ravendra understood the importance of this breakfast to Azura, and the two of them enjoyed the dish with gratitude.

"Eat the voracious, Azura." Ravendra smiled happily to see his wife enjoying her breakfast.

Azura smiled, "Sure, dear. This morning it was so special with this fried rice, like you always make."

Ravendra welcomed Azura's smile, "Yes, it's special. I'm glad I could share this morning with you."

Azura nodded in agreement, "Me too, dear. It's like putting a little piece of the house in our breakfast."

Ravendra took a glass of orange juice, "What's the plan today, Azura?"

Azura took a mouthful of fried rice and then chewed on it for a while, "There are some places I want to visit. Wanna come?"

Ravendra smiled, "Good idea. I'm ready to follow your adventure, Azura. Maybe we can find the best suburban restaurant for dinner later, how?"

Azura smiled, "Right, dear. I'm sure we'll find an amazing place."

After breakfast was over, Ravendra offered to clean the table, while Azura thanked him and walked towards the window. From there, he looked out and pondered for a moment. She feels lucky to have Ravendra by her side, and she hopes that their future will be filled with growing happiness and love.

After clearing the table, Azura and Ravendra sat together in the living room of their house. They have serious discussions about plans to uncover Leo's sinister plans that threaten Ravendra's company.

"Azura, we need to gather solid evidence to prove Leo's evil plan. We should not just talk without concrete evidence" Ravendra said seriously.

Azura nodded in agreement. "You're right, honey. We must have evidence strong enough that no one can doubt our intentions. Leo is a cunning man, we have to be smart in dealing with him."

Ravendra touched Azura's hand with confidence. "We'll do it together, Azura. I know you have the skills needed to uncover Leo's evil plans."

Then they started planning a strategy. They decide to delve deeper into Leo's activities, looking for evidence related to the company's destruction plans. Azura would try to find a way so that she could get the information they needed.

"You must be vigilant, Azura." Ravendra.

Azura nodded seriously. "I'll be careful, baby. We need to find a loophole to uncover his evil plans."

Over the course of several weeks, Azura began to investigate closely. He tries to find out more about the plans that Leo has.

One day, Azura managed to get important information from one of Leo's company employees. He finds evidence in the form of a conversation that indicates Leo's nefarious plan to destroy Ravendra's company.

Azura decides to act secretly and investigates further about Leo's evil plans. He knew that one way to get information was to be in places that Leo's closest people might frequent.

Cafe near Leo's company becomes his target. In inconspicuous clothes, Azura goes to the cafe one morning. He ordered a cup of coffee and sat in a not-so-obtrusive corner, trying not to attract attention.

As he sat there, he listened to the chatter around him closely. He tries to find out if anyone is talking about Leo's evil plans. He hoped there was information he could capture.

Shortly thereafter, he caught a conversation between two employees sitting at a table next to him. They looked relaxed, unaware that Azura was listening.

"really? What's he planning?" ask the others in curiosity.

"Say he had resources he could use to damage Alfonsa's corporate reputation. He wanted to take advantage of this situation to take over their clients" explained the first employee in a dark tone.

Azura felt her heart beat fast. He had managed to hear this valuable information. Leo's plan to take down Ravendra's company turns out to be more complicated and dangerous than he thought.

After the employees left, Azura immediately took her phone and recorded all the information she heard. He feels nervous and tense, but also excited because he knows that this is the first step in uncovering Leo's evil plans.

After leaving the cafe, Azura immediately contacted Ravendra and shared the information he got. They feel that they have an important clue and should plan their next move immediately.

Azura and Ravendra understand that they must confront Leo's evil plans carefully and intelligently. They devise a mature strategy, team up with the company's security team, and gather stronger evidence to uncover Leo's nefarious plans.

First of all, they gathered all the information they had obtained before. They check every detail and try to connect the dots. Afterwards, they spoke with the company's security team to get a professional view of the situation.

The company's security team helps in identifying vulnerable areas and advises on the steps that need to be taken. They plan a reconnaissance of Leo's activities and keep no one suspicious of their attention.

Meanwhile, Azura approaches some employees who may know more about Leo's plans. He builds relationships with them carefully, builds trust, and tries to woo further information. Some of them might feel uncomfortable or worried, but Azura managed to make them feel that they could trust her.

Ravendra also works closely with the company's legal team to ensure that they have evidence strong enough to legally confront Leo. They prepare themselves for the possible legal proceedings that will follow if their plan is successful.

Azura was surprised by the memories that came suddenly about her previous life. He pondered in the darkness of the room, thinking of all the mixed feelings that appeared.

Azura recalled the time she was sitting in a cafe with Leo. Back then, Leo cunningly tried to influence Azura with her sweet seduction.

"You know, Azura, Ravendra's company assets are like sparkling gems. If we can get it, we can live in happiness," teased Leo with a faint smile on his lips.

Azura felt awkward at first, "But that's not true, Leo. I can't do that, I know I don't love Ravendra but it's going to hurt Ravendra and his company."

Leo approached Azura, trying to make her melt with the touch of her hand. "But, baby, we can have everything. You and I together, can live in limitless luxury. What does a company mean if there is no love in it? You and me, we could have everything."

Azura feels tempted by Leo's seduction, but she also feels uncomfortable with the request being made. "But it's wrong, Leo. Ravendra loves his company so much and he loves me. I can't do anything bad to her."

Leo felt frustrated with Azura's wavering attitude. He tried again, this time with great emotional emphasis, "Darling, you know that I love you so much."

Azura was confused. He loves Leo, and Leo's temptations make his heart waver. He feels driven by the desire to give everything to Leo, but he also knows that the way Leo offers is the wrong way.

In the end, Azura melted down and agreed to Leo's wish. "Alright, Leo. I'll try to do it because I love you."

Leo showed a delighted expression, he comforted Azura with sweet words again. "All right, sweetheart. I love you so much, I will be with you forever. Let's plan everything!"

Azura smiled and blushed by Leo's words of flirting. "Well, what am I supposed to do?"

"I'll plan everything neatly. You just wait for me, honey." Leo smiled and kissed the back of Azura's hand.

Azura recalled how ruthless Leo's plan to destroy Ravendra's company was. He's been involved in that rotten plan.

Leo had planned various ways to steal Ravendra's company's important assets, which could lead to a meltdown for the company. He tells Azura to help carry out his rotten plan in the hope that Azura will be interested in the promises offered.

Azura gets upset and angry at herself for being fooled by Leo's false love seduction. He recalled how Leo managed to persuade him to take on the important assets of Ravendra's company, which then caused the company to crash.

"I used to be so stupid and lulled by Leo's false love. He made use of my feelings and manipulated me," Azura murmured in annoyance.

"In the past, I was very tempted by Leo's false love and helped him ruin Ravendra's company" Azura whispered to herself.

Ravendra who was sleeping beside him felt Azura's unease. He turned his body and hugged Azura gently. "Is there anything that bothers you, Azura?"

Azura looked at Ravendra's gentle eyes with a feeling of anxiety. "I'm reminded of my dreams, of my bad deeds and how I helped Leo break your company."

Ravendra listened attentively and understandingly. "Don't think about it, Azura. It was just a dream. I love you, and I know you've turned into a better person."

Azura was dripping tears deep within her. 'I feel very guilty, Ravendra. You gave me a chance to help Leo, and I was so evil that I abused your kindness.'

Ravendra kissed Azura softly. "Already, Azura. Don't cry."

Azura was relieved by Ravendra's support and understanding. She is grateful to have a husband who has always supported her, even in difficult times like these.

The two of them talked for a long time about Azura's nightmares which were none other than his previous life. Ravendra gives Azura strength and confidence, telling her that it is only a dream, not a determinant of their future.
