The Wife Who Escaped

Whereof

"Kira.... Did he leave the house?"

"Yes. I'm looking for him right now, so don't worry too much."

Doni who was next to Asih asked in confusion.

"Why did Kirana...Why did something happen to Kirana?"

"After Mama-in-law died, Kirana had a lot of difficulties. And there may be other pressures as well. I should have taken good care of him....." Reynand answered with a serious look.

"I will take responsibility and bring him back safely." Reynand continued speaking in a stern tone

"If you get a call from Kirana, please let me know immediately."

Hearing those words, Asih and Doni nodded with dark faces.

“If there is anything we can help you with, please let us know.”

"good. Thank you." Thank you."

Reynand lowered her head and panted.

As Reynand headed to the car, she recalled a few more questions and turned around.

Her goal was to ask about people Kirana was friends with at school, anyone close to her, and whether there were places she used to visit.

Reynand turned around and stood in front of the front door again. When Reynand was about to reach for the doorbell.

"Yes God. What's going on?"

A thunderous voice rang out from the front door.

“I'm sure the girl didn't cheat, right?”

"That's impossible Mother."

"I hope so."

"That's impossible, it's very unlikely he'll do that."

"Why should he leave that nice house if he hasn't met a man?"

Reynand, hearing their conversation, put her hand back to ring the doorbell. The voices of the two people did not seem to have any worries for Kirana. Instead, they seemed to have nothing but criticism and reprimand.

"He was a child born in poverty and under-educated. Children who grow up like that easily ignore someone just by others treat them a little better."

Asih strongly criticized Kiran and continued.

“It was clear that the girl was having an affair. Otherwise, why could he leave the house alone.”

"Or is it possible that Mr. Steve mistreated Kirana or cheated on her? Many women are fleeing because of her husband.”

"Hey. Do you think Mr Steve is the type of person who would do that? Why would someone who is highly educated do such a thing?"

He became angry with a frustrated voice.

"Even if it's true that Mr. Steve cheated on her, she should be patient and continue to defend him. She got into that fine family as a daughter-in-law, couldn't even stand it, she had to keep it?”

"......"

"And do you know how stubborn he is? He is*nj*ng who won't even flinch when he's hit."

Reynand's face became angry. His clenched hands grew tighter and tighter. The more he listened to what they said, the more terrifying it became. Even after hearing everything, he still could not believe it.

“By the way, this time I tried to ask for additional investment money, but things got complicated. I never thought that Kirana would leave home.” Reveal Doni accompanied by a loud sigh.

“Ugh. How could he be so selfish after knowing the state of our family?."

Criticism becomes more intense.

"He really b*jing*n that's embarrassing. He used to be very obedient when you paid his mother's hospital bills. But now what is he doing?."

"......"

"B*jing*and don't know thank you, basic j*l*ng fucking...."

Hearing Asih's angry voice the last time, Reynand turned around with a stiff expression,. Reynand got into the parked car.

His mind went blank, and one part of his chest throbbed like there was a bruise. Asih's rough voice still ringed in his ears.

'Do you know how stubborn he is? He is *nj*ng who won't even flinch when he's hit.'

'B*jing*and don't know thank you, basic j*l*ng damn.....'

Reynand lowered her head and a sigh came out from between her lips.

You have been treated like that all this time?! Just listening to their conversation today is clear what kind of life you are going through. The question is, will you be treated like a human being? I was sad, surprised, and angry. It is surprising that there are people like this, and I feel sorry for my wife, who has lived with these people for a long time.

More than that, I was angry at myself for finally knowing this. I noticed that Kirana did not grow like a flower in a greenhouse. But I never thought that she lived with such cruel people.

When I thought about it, I realized that I knew nothing about you. What is your relationship with your family, who are your close friends, what do you like and dislike...All I know about you is personal information that anyone can know through research. So I don't know where you're going or who you're related to.

In difficult situations, the most reliable person is usually family. But after seeing Grandma and Mr. Kester, Kirana seemed to have no family.

Where did he go when he had nowhere to go and no one to lean on?

[The number you are going to cannot answer the phone, so the call is sent to a voicemail.]

I always try to contact him, but the answer is still the same.

Reynand roughly shook her head while sighing dryly.

My heart was so tense that I felt like I was going crazy.

Reynand picked up the phone again. And then call someone. The person he called this time immediately replied without waiting.

[Yes, Director. What am I doing?]

He was someone Reynand had asked for his personal job for a long time. He had incredible intelligence, so he handled everything quickly and accurately, and he maintained security perfectly, so he was very trustworthy.

“There's someone I need to find soon.”

[Good. How characteristic.]

“My name is Kirana Ferdinand, and she is twenty-four years old.”

The clear voice continued.

“She is my wife.”

****

The dawn broke when Reynand returned home. He searched and asked about all the places Kirana could visit, but I could find nothing. Now he only wished the requested place could find Kirina as quickly as possible.

As Reynand opened the front door and entered, there was moisture in her hair. My hair and clothes were a little wet from the rain that started falling from dawn. As he opened the front door and entered, a deep silence greeted him. He could no longer smell Kirana's remaining faint scent.

'You've come home?'

The Kirana that I had seen all this time faded and disappeared. In fact, I still can't believe Kirana has left. It seems like Kirana will appear from somewhere and talk to me at any time.

Reynand trudged into the living room with limp steps. There was silence in every step taken. The view inside the house caught his attention. The living room and dining room are the same as usual. The arrangement of furniture and objects remains the same, even small items are in the same place.

The dressing room, the bathroom, the second floor room, are all the same. Everything was the same as before.But the atmosphere was quiet and gloomy, as if everything had vanished. Only one thing is missing.... .... .... I felt empty, as if my world had disappeared. The silence was so terrible that I did not know how I lived before Kirana.

Reynand, taking off her suit in the dressing room, put her hand into the suit and pulled out a carefully wrapped rectangular box. It was the necklace she bought to give to Kirana during the business trip. Reynand's eyes lowered as she looked at the box.

"......"

I think it would fit. So I really hope you like it.

'thank you.'

I wanted to kiss and hug that smiling face.

Kirana is now missing. A gift that loses its owner feels worthless. No matter how precious or beautiful it is, it is not necessary. If there is no Kirana..what good is a beautiful thing?.

Rey sighed and placed the gift box somewhere, Reynand left the dressing room and climbed onto the second floor.

Is there something I missed?

He looked into the bedroom and the room Kirana was using. But no one can trace Kirana's whereabouts. He walked around the house and entered the study. His helpless eyes turned to the pile of documents strewn on the floor.

[Divorce report by agreement]

The words written on a piece of paper stuck to his heart. Reynand bowed and picked it up.

The columns that the husband has to fill are still empty, and the columns filled by the wife are all written. Had Reynand filled out the information, it would have been a complete report.

What was in Kirana's mind as she wrote these documents one by one?Did he really mean to end my marriage?

Reynand's eyes changed. He doesn't know where his mistake lies.

'This is the wedding you chose, and the path you chose'

Has anything gone wrong since then?

'Unless you don't want to ruin this road, hang on even if it's hard. That's your job as my wife.'

Did I push it too hard?

Or maybe since then.

'All I want from you is to remain silent and act as my wife by my side. Is that hard?'

I should have paid more attention to it from the start

'There is only one condition for marriage that I will present to you.'

Or was it wrong from the beginning?

'You should plan to get pregnant and have children at the same time after we get married..'

Shouldn't I have chosen it?or not ···When I think about my mistakes, my memory goes back to the first time I met Kirana. Kirana back then had a pitiful and dangerous look in her eyes .

'thank you.'

It was our first meeting I don't remember ever doing. It was raining like now. No, it was raining more than it is now.
