The Love Traces of RAHWANA

Quarry 30.

Ever since my engagement to Yuta two years ago, I have felt my feelings deepening in that man. Yuta did not continue his education. He works directly at the Ministry of Culture. He also often went abroad to take care of his work.

While I, remain focused to continue S2 and and after completion, immediately apply to become a lecturer and serve in my alma mater, the Halim Abhimanyu Foundation University.

Today, I just got home from an interview for faculty at Halim University. I had high hopes of being accepted there. I feel like I have answered all the questions well.

In front of our campus, there is a huge banyan tree right next to the main gate. When entering and exiting, the students will pass through this banyan tree. Not far from the tree, there will usually be sellers of dawet ice, siomay, batagor, ice cendol, and ice cincau.

I smiled at the figure of the man who would be my life companion was busy ordering ice chirp there. She noticed my arrival and immediately threw her sweet smile. He also waved the two ice cups at me.

I immediately approached him and asked for my share. Then, I held him affectionately towards the parked car.

“How was the interview?”

“I feel will be successfully received.”

“Iya. They are foolish not to accept their best former students. Hehehehe.”

“When to arrive from Jakarta?”

“Newly. I came quickly because you said you would interview today.”

“And you didn't tell me about your arrival? Sucks.”

“Surprise. Hahaahahhaha. Let's have lunch.”

“I want to eat fried chicken.”

“Siap, Mistress. Heheheehe.”

Yuta immediately drove the car to a fast food restaurant opposite the library. This restaurant has its own memories for me. But it's okay. This time I came with a man I loved very much.

I immediately looked for a seat while Yuta ordered our food. He knows exactly what I like.

“Her skin is for you, and the meat is for me.” Yuta said after he sat in front of me. He opened his chicken skin and put it in my food box.

“Thanks, my dear..” My speech. I was happy to say that when Yuta did something for me. His face will be happy and it looks very funny.

“Sayang?”

“Hem?”

“Actually, tomorrow morning I will go abroad.”

“What do you mean?”

“There are important jobs that my colleagues can't handle. And I was sent to replace him.”

“Where?”

“Boston.”

The boston? That spot....

“But we're getting married next week, Yuta.”

“I know, I know. Just two days. And I'll go home then we get married.”

I don't know, the explanation just makes me angry with Yuta. Could he be willing and prefer his job to mine?

The thing is, our marriage is just counting the days.

“If you love that with your job, just marry your job. Not with me!”

Being emotionally upset, I left Yuta just like that. I got out of that restaurant. No matter when Yuta yelled at me.

My steps stopped on the terrace of the restaurant. I don't know when it's coming, but it's raining really hard right now.

This rain reminds me of someone.

“Ara! Waitaminute! Where are you going?!”

I can still hear Yuta yelling at me.

Is there only Yuta in the office? Can't anyone else handle the job? Why should Yuta? We'll be married in five days.

Unfortunately, I just broke through the rain and stopped a passing taxi. I immediately entered with a sense of annoyance piled up on my chest. I was really upset and angry at Yuta.

Arriving at home, I immediately went into the room and drowned my face on a bolster pillow. Screaming and crying. Evaporating the feeling of resentment mixed with sadness in my heart.

Geck. Geck. Geck.

“Ara! Open door!” That's Yuta's voice from outside my room.

I didn't answer. It took me a while to stop my angry cries.

“ara! Please open the door! I'm sorry.”

“Go! I don't want to meet you.”

“Ara!”

“I said go!”

Right now, I am lazy to look at his face. I kept insisting not to open my door. Then, I heard the voice of the mother talking to Yuta. And after that, I did not hear Yuta's voice anymore.

“Ara? The deck? Open the door, dear.”

I can't afford to ignore my mother's request. And I opened the door. I sat on the side of the bed and my mother sat next to me.

“Why are you, baby? Any problems with Yuta?”

Then, I couldn't hold my mouth back from telling my mother. I told my mother everything.

Mom just nodded then hugged me.

“You can give a little understanding to Yuta. Maybe he really can't leave that job. Stop mad. He was only there for two days. You can still carry out the marriage as planned.

Just be right. I think this is too much.

And as it turns out, Yuta really went to Boston for the rest of the day. Makes me even worse. He did not heed my words and remained reckless to leave even though I strictly forbade it.

‘Honey, I'll be home soon.’

Just that short message he sent me before his departure. How am I not getting upset?

I could only cry in Fio's arms. Cursed it in the heart.

“Already, Ra. He was only there two days. Why are you angry just for something so trivial like this? Actually it's not a big deal, why do you make it look like this is a big deal?”

I don't know, I don't know. It's just that I feel something's stuck in my heart and I don't know what it is. It feels so weird. The thought of Yuta leaving made my heart rustle in fear.

“Already, don't think about it. Let him focus on his work and wait for him to come back. Now, let's get your skin pampered before you're legal to be wife. So that Yuta will be more amazed on the first night later.”

I sneered at Fio. He pulled me into the bathroom. I smelled a very fragrant scent coming from the bathtub.

“What is it?”

“Rubuan so that Yuta is more crazy about you.”

“You're.”

“Quick take off your clothes and get in here. We'll do this until your wedding day. I guarantee your skin will be more and more kinclong.”

I just according. This fragrant aroma is refreshing as well as soothing. Fio faithfully helped me rub the scrub all over my body. I really feel really fresh after taking a bath in a potion that I don't know what it is. Fio said, it was his family's secret potion that had been passed downhill.

“Have you been the last fitting?”

I'm shaking. Because the plan is today me and Yuta will fit a wedding dress for the last one before we wear it on the wedding day.

“The plan is this afternoon. Accompany me.” My love.

“OK. I will replace Yuta and accompany you to the boutique.”
