“What I want is one, give me back my husband Varen Saskara! If they were different people maybe things wouldn't be this complicated. I can live with Varen without the shadow of Verdi! But everything is impossible because my wish is impossible to come true! Varen and Verdi are the same person, your beloved grandchildren are the men I love.”
“The man who married me is a person who cares deeply about you. They are the same person but why is their identity different? I have a hard time understanding what games you play and I cannot accept both. I just want my husband.”
Reina took a deep breath looking at Samara with a sharp look.
Samara was stunned by Reina's request. He thought Reina's words were crazy, “What do you mean? How can you ask someone to separate from himself?”
“That's what I want to ask the Madam. How can two different identities live in one body and act as different people?”
Reina doesn't care what the reason is but she can't accept the fact that Varen and Verdi are the same person. “How do you not want to acknowledge Varen Saskara as your grandson then I also do not want to accept Verdi Bimantya as my husband! No, I never thought of Verdi as my husband! For me they are two different people.”
Samara fell silent and understood the meaning of Reina's words. As Reina said as long as Varen held the title of Saskara behind her name, Samara would never accept her as a grandchild.
For Samara his grandson is only one Verdi Bimantya. Why is everything so complicated now? Why did someone else think the same way as him appear?
She just wants a different person, Samara wants Verdi and Reina wants Varen. “Tell me what you want now?”
Reina looked at Samara firmly. “Mistress, the person who married me was Varen Saskara not Verdi Bimantya. Then why are you mixing up the affairs of the two?”
Samara scrunched her forehead.
“Mistress if you ask Varen to leave me then I will make Verdi leave you! If you try to separate Varen and me then I will ask Varen to choose between his life as Varen or Verdi! This is the first and last warning for you.”
“Never disturb the life of Varen and me, or I will make Verdi disappear for good and you will never be able to meet him again.” threatened Reina.
Samara laughs dryly, “Basic crazy woman!”
She had not expected that Reina would dare to talk to her like that without the slightest fear.
******
Along the way to the house, Reina was pensive because she felt confused by herself. Whether the decision was right or wrong but what he said to Samara was the truth.
Reina could not accept Verdi as her husband. Ever since Reina woke up in the hospital, thirty-eight days ago her heart was filled with anxiety.
He tried to convince himself that what he heard at that time was just a dream or illusion. Reina tried to deny it because she thought it was impossible for Varen her husband was Verdi her boss at work. Still remembered in his mind all of Verdi's words back then. Words that reveal her true self.
Reina remembered that she had called Varen before fainting, maybe she had recognized him by then. Because he felt curious that he was pretending to be asleep. Wanting to feel he died at that time, his heart injury because Bobby and his family had not healed completely but Varen had incised a new wound by deceiving him.
As Reina ventured to open her eyes, she hoped that the person who accompanied her at that time was Varen. He did not expect Verdi's presence at all beside him. Reina hoped that the person holding her hand was her husband Varen but her hope shattered instantly when she saw Verdi's anxious face before her eyes.
At the first meeting with Verdi first, although Reina had salag recognized him as Varen but never crossed his mind if Varen and Verdi were the same person. The circumstances of the two of them were different and Reina could not accept it. When Reina convinced herself to call her husband her heart broke.
He sees Varen's phone number stored in Felix's contacts, and when Verdi's phone turns on, he calls Varen. And at that moment it felt like he was clawing and tearing Verdi's face apart. But he's not ready to lose Varen, he's not ready to lose the man who's been a life booster.
The one who made her strong even though her husband and family betrayed her. The one who made her confident came back and gave her affection until Reina forgot all the pain in the blink of an eye. Reina does not want to lose Varen in her life, every day she gets to know Varen then she hates the figure of Verdi.
She always thought of Varen as her husband but not Verdi. But today when Reina saw the fragility in Verdi's eyes, she felt that Varen was asking her for help.
The eyes of contentment and sadness left Reina tormented and one thing she realized if Verdi was suffering then Varen was also suffering. That's why Reina decided to visit Samara.
Asking him not to bother Varen and threatening her not to corner him. All Reina did for her husband was not for herself or Verdi.
“Nyonya....we have arrived.” the driver's voice disperse Reina's daydream. He did not have time to say the car door suddenly opened and Varen's face appeared.
“Finally you go home too.” said Varen extended his hand. Reina was stunned for a moment staring at Varen's hand. A few weeks ago Reina was hesitant to welcome the hand.
His heart was too sore to be lied to but he realized that he could not stand on his own feet without those hands. He needs Varen next to him.
“Why? Did something happen?” asked Varen astonishedly looking at his dreamy wife.
Reina shook her head, “It's okay.” she said as she got out of the car while holding her bag.
Varen swiftly took the race from his wife's hand and hooked his hand to Reina.
“Thank you sir for delivering me.” Reina told the driver. The middle-aged man drove his car away from Reina's house.
“Actually where are you going anyway? Why did mom suddenly ask for your help?” search Varen.
Reina looked at her husband despite his flat facial expression but looked anxious in the look in her eyes. “Mama is busy so she asked me to go represent her. Varen....I'm hungry.” Reina said.
Varen held Reina's hand towards the house. “So I bought goat satay and chicken soto. I also buy ice doger and snacks.”
“Why do you buy so much food? Unfortunately if it does not run out.” said Reina.
“Let you not go to sleep directly. Follow me to watch ball.”
“I don't like balls.”
“Means I bought you a snack so you don't get bored.”
“You are a forger once.”
“Sometimes it's okay, right?”
“Hahahaha!”
“Do not laugh. Your laughter makes me anxious, makes me want to eat you.”
“Basic pervert!”
“Awwww...pain Reina.”.
