A few minutes passed, now Rachel had felt a little more to make her cries begin to subside. Rachel finally got back up from her seat, wiping her tears completely dry.
Rachel stepped into the kitchen, so as not to be too late into the sadness, she decided to cook breakfast. Although Arsen's words really hurt her, yet somehow she could not be angry at her husband at all. There is precisely a feeling of guilt that is getting bigger, the feeling of guilt because it starts everything with a lie that is long enough even protracted.
That morning, there was no smile on Rachel's face while cooking, her spirit was as if she was extinct, all there was was was a flat face. Minutes passed, now that several pieces of sandwiches were finished he served neatly on the bar table. Not to forget also a glass of orange juice that became a complement to breakfast that morning.
Rachel just ate a piece of sandwich, then she went straight to the room. Uncertain thoughts of direction made him feel very tired. Until he decided to go out, he would go to a bookstore. Because it is usually, the bookstore is the most powerful place to eliminate the turmoil.
Rachel came out of the room dressed up, the morning air was cold enough to make her have to wear clothes a little thicker. He also glanced back at the Arsen workspace which at that time was seen being sealed. He went back to the bar table and looked at the breakfast he had made.
After a rough sigh, he grabbed the phone from inside the bag and decided to send a message to Arsen.
"I want to go out, I have breakfast on the table. Eat it, don't let you not have breakfast, I love you." Fill in Rachel's message.
After looking for a moment at the contents of the message he just sent, Rachel finally began to leave.
*Ting*
Arsen's phone rang immediately, indicating a short message that had just come in. Arsen, who was sitting at his desk at the time, grabbed his phone which he had put on the table.
Reading the message from Rachel made her forehead instantly wrinkle.
"Go? Where's where?" Ask Arsen inwardly.
Arsen got up straight from his seat, rushed out of the study, hoping Rachel had not left and could ask where she was going. He went into the room and into the toilet, but did not find the figure he was looking for.
"Have you left?" Ask again in your heart as you begin to move towards the bar table.
Arsen finally sat down lethargic, looking at the breakfast that had been prepared by Rachel. No choice, Arsen who was also hungry finally began to eat a sandwich made by Rachel.
"What did I say that went so far as to hurt him? Is that why he left?" Arsen continued to wonder in silence.
Now replace, Arsen is the one who started to be not thinking about it.
"Haaaish, why should I be faced with this kind of situation?" Ketus Arsen who finally started to ruffle her hair.
Now Rachel has arrived in front of the library that previously so often she visited. Nothing but a library belonging to the Antony family. Rachel continued to casually walk into such a vast and majestic library. Through several alleyways of bookshelves, in order to find the right book for him to read that day.
Without feeling the time half an hour passed just like that, now in Rachel's hands there are three books that she holds, one of them is a classic romance genre novel, ready for him to read. With a quick step, he began to switch to a cafe that is provided specifically for readers in the library.
Ordering a cup of matcha latte and a french fry stick, then taking it to an empty table. Rachel calmly began to read one of the novels she had brought, and again the time of an hour seemed to pass so quickly without her noticing. Half the book he had read with full of passion, now his thoughts and feelings seemed to be focused on the novel, which happened to be the role of the woman from the novel had a sad fate, he said, making Rachel's face so tense when reading it.
"It's so tight." Tapping on someone whose voice sounds so familiar.
Making Rachel immediately turn to the source of the voice, with rounded eyes she continued to look at Antony who was then standing at his side.
"Antony." His words became so flabbergasted.
"May I sit here?"
Antony chuckles, and begins to sit in front of Rachel.
"Of course I should be able to maintain more attitude now, considering you have become the wife of an Arsen Lim who is much in disdain."
Rachel can only grunt and smile, without even returning Antony's words, Rachel chose to continue reading her novel.
Antony began leaning his strapping body against the back of the chair, folding one leg as macho men often do, with both hands starting to cross. He continued to look at Rachel with a smile, there was a real longing that he had been quiet for a few days without meeting.
"Isn't this something that looks very strange." He spoke suddenly in a soft voice.
"What a weird?" Rachel asked calmly as she continued to read the novel.
"It's strange to find a newlywed who actually spends a lot of time just reading books in the library."
Hearing that made Rachel pause for a moment, then began to glance at Antony for a moment, and chose to return to being calm continuing to read.
"I don't think there's anything weird." Answer Rachel flat.
"Of course it's weird, I think newlyweds will spend a lot of time going to honeymoon, or, yes at least the newlyweds that I know most, are, must always go with his partner to spend time together."
Rachel chose to shut up.
"Then where's Arsen? Why would he let this woman he just married walk alone in the cold air like this?"
"Antony I beg you, me and Arsen are married, and for this matter you just said, it's already entered into the realm of the private and I think it's very privacy" said Rachel who began to close the book while looking fixed on Antony's face.
Antony smiled and apologized.
"I'm sorry, it seems that in addition to maintaining an attitude, from now on I also really have to keep my words. Again I'm sorry."
Rachel sighed and nodded.
"I have admitted my defeat, and at this moment, I have decided to stop chasing you." Antony was so calm.
It made Rachel smile again.
"Yes, you deserve someone better, hopefully you can find someone later."
"Thank you."
Rachel nodded back and widened her smile.
"But are you still willing to be friends with me?" Now Antony looked back at Rachel so closely.
