HE'S MY DESTINY
Episode 235 - Don't Care About Your Shortcomings
"It's been hours, but Felix didn't see me, where is he?". Berli muttered that he had been waiting at the usual place waiting for Felix. But the one waiting, never came.
"Sir Berli, what are you doing here?". Said Aditya who came with his matic motor.
"Aditya?. I was waiting for Felix, but it looks like he's been gone since". Berli.
"Then, come on. I'll take my brother home". Aditya offers a ride.
"Ah no need Aditya. I can go home by myself. Besides, I'm not sure Felix's really out of here". Berli.
"Sister, Brother Felix left earlier to take care of a business. Perhaps at this time, he had not returned and had forgotten to inform brother. Preferably, brother went home first, after that brother can contact him at home. It's not good if you wait here too long". Aditya.
"But what business? Until he hasn't returned". Berli said in wonder
"I don't know brother. Come on, let's take you home". Aditya Say Back.
"Alright Aditya, thank you". Said Berli who now agreed to ride the Aditya motorbike.
......................
"It's afternoon. Berli must have gone home. Who he came home with". Felix muttered that he was still loyal to be there. Since then, Ms. Inez has returned to her home.
"Sir, we are still analyzing related data. This may take a while. Therefore, you can come back tomorrow". Said an employee at the bank.
"Alright, let me know if there's any progress. I'll be back tomorrow". Pamit Felix while walking. He rushes to return to the factory, fetching Berli.
"Hopefully Berli is still there". Felix muttered as he hurried.

"Rom, are you ready?". Said Neel who strives for Romi's success. This time, the three of them were on a mission.
"I'm ready. All the recording devices are in my jacket. You guys, pray for me". Romi.
"That's sure. Good luck, Rom". Adelard.
Romi plans to go undercover as a courier delivering goods to the house that Bryan lives in. Clearly, this was a way to get to Prianka, and hear all her explanations.
Romi is ready with a jacket, helmet, mask, which covers his face and does not forget his other equipment like a courier. Not to forget, he put a recording device in his bag, to keep watch if there is evidence that he can get. Of course he doesn't want to miss anything.
Toktotktok, by the way,,
Romi knocked on the door of the house. Neel and Adelard watched from a distance.
"Excuse me..". Romi. As much as possible he changed the tone of his voice.
"Prianka?. Didn't you hear anyone outside?. Quickly open the door!". Shouted Bryan with his harsh tone. While he was just sitting on a chair with his feet up to the table.
Prianka did not answer, but she came to the doorway with a feeling of annoyance. Of course Bryan treated her like a maid.
"Yes, how can I help you?". Prianka said kindly to the courier.
"Yes, lady, I'm going to deliver the package to this address. Is this right with Miss Prianka?". Said Romi in disguise. Of course his words make Prianka wonder. He never ordered anything. Never mind ordering things, to eat, he only ate leftover food Bryan.
"Sorry sir, but I didn't order anything. Maybe you got the wrong address". Reply Prianka refused politely. He circulates his gaze towards the house, afraid Bryan hears her and beats her again
"Maybe I have the wrong address?. If it is pleasing, is Miss willing to see it first?. It just so happened that the item was big, and it was still stored on my motorcycle. Maybe after seeing it, Miss will remember that it belongs to Miss". Romi said that actually aims to invite Prianka away from her home. So that he can question all the questions he wants to ask.
They both walked outwards. Prianka is still confused.
When they got behind the house, Romi stopped walking. He felt, this place is quite safe because there is a concrete wall that blocks the view towards Bryan's house.
"Sir, what's the matter?. What do you mean?". Said Prianka who looked around, and did not find the existence of the courier motor.
Romi took off the helmet and mask he was wearing. Prianka turned her head when she saw the courier's real face.
"Rome?". Prianka said widened unexpectedly. He is increasingly worried that Bryan will beat him again because he met Romi.
"It's me, you still remember me, right?. Now, I want to question everything I want to know. Prianka, answer my question honestly. Is this marriage your wish?". Romi stared at Prianka.
While Prianka started to glaze over.
"Romi, gohome. What are you here for?. Dangerous here. What if Bryan's men beat you up?". Prianka was worried. I don't think he's ready to be honest. He already felt unworthy of Romi.
"I don't care!. I just want you to tell me the truth. Bryan forced you, didn't he?". Romi said with emphasis.
"No, this is my wish". Prianka told a lie.
"You lied. Look at my eyes Prianka". Romi said as he led Prianka's chin to look her in the eye. Of course this makes Prianka helpless.
"Romi, if I tell you the truth for what?. There's nothing left between us. I'm not the holy girl I used to be. Maybe it's my destiny to live where I don't want to. Romi, gohome. You still have a bright future, you can still find a girl who is still awake. Don'twith me". Said Prianka whose tears had escaped.
"If I say there's nothing left between us, then what about me?. I'm worried about you. I know this place is hell for you. So, come home with me. I don't care what you're doing right now". Romi's words that make Prianka vibrate.
"No Romi, it's not all that easy. If I could do it, I would do it all day. If I leave, he will expose my disgrace to the world. Maybe this has been my destiny, I gave up Romi. Now go back Rom.. ". Prianka was so fragile with bruises on her face. His face was grim without a smile like before.
"What did Bryan do to you?". Romi said full of probing, he began to tremble.
"She took my honor, and she threatened to spread it if I didn't comply with her wishes including marrying her. Romi, I've tried but I'm tired, I give up. I don't deserve you. Go, don't remember me anymore". Prianka said with tears.
"I'm sorry if I failed to protect you". Instantly Romi hugged Prianka who was crying bitterly. He felt guilty for failing to protect her.
"I don't care about how you're doing right now. I will always love you. And to me you are a very special woman above all your shortcomings. I'll help you get out of this place, no matter what. I will fight for us, and all our dreams that have been destroyed by it. Don't be afraid, I'll always be with you. I'm sorry Prianka..". Romi said as he hugged Prianka tightly and shed tears.
With a tremble, Prianka hugged Romi back while crying. He gave up all the sadness and longing he had been craving all this time. He feels lucky, loved by a man who does not care about his shortcomings.
"I'm sorry, and thank you Romi.. ". Prianka said softly behind her cries.
After a few minutes, Romi took off his embrace and wiped off Prianka's tears. "Priana. Listen to me, you need to get out of this place no matter what. Take this phone, record all Bryan's words that could be evidence of a report to the police. Let me know when the situation is safe. In the meantime, I'm gonna try to erase Bryan's footage of you. I can't take it if you're here forever". Said Romi who was trying hard. He gave a solution to Prianka.
"Romi, thank you so much.. ". Prianka said. He accepted Romi's gift.
"Please be good. I promise you, you'll get out of this place as soon as you can". Romi's voice gently stroked Prianka's hair. He treated Prianka very gently.
"Romi, gohome. I'm afraid Bryan suspects that I've been outside for too long. I'm afraid you're in danger. Go Romi.. ". Prianka said with anxiety.
"I'm gonna miss you". Said Romi while holding both hands of Prianka tightly and pecking his shoulders. He breezed away.
Prianka smile. He felt so loved and respected by Romi. Of course he will not make the struggle Romi in vain. He will try again to get out of this hell.
Prianka waved, smiling, while occasionally wiping her tears. He found his life back with Romi.
