Lies
There's No Bright Point

Not without reason I speak like that. Raya once ran away from Karan's house. Unmitigated, the woman had even booked a train ticket to escape the husband. Ika was not involved in the escape process, but Karan kept coming to see her and pressured her to confess where the Kingdom is. At that moment Ika saw something else in Karan. Instead of feeling angry because Raya ran away from him, the first thing Ika saw was a great worry in the man. A worry that even looks like fear.

Eventually Raya was found. From what Ika heard from the model, Karan was furious with her and locked her in the house for several weeks. There was no gap for Raya to escape even though Karan was not inside the house. Every time that intention came up, Karan already knew about it. The man also added to the punishment of Raya from being locked up in the house to being locked up in a room. Raya could not get out of her luxurious room at all and Karan made her beautiful wife like a bird confined in a cage.

He also rebuked the manager. “No, I have absolutely no intention of running away from home. I mean, at least not anymore because my relationship with Karan is really good now.” The woman tried to convince her manager even though the manager seemed not to believe at all. But Raya did not have any intention of running away from her husband. He just wanted to know if he was hiding something from her or not.

“So why?” tanya Ika was still curious. Then suddenly, the woman was wide-eyed as a bad thought perched inside her head. “Please Ma'am, don't tell me you have a secret lover you want to meet there?” That might sound like an absurd apron considering Raya is not the type of woman who likes to cheat. At least that's what Ika believed during her work as a super model manager. Nothing is impossible in this world. Given Karan's attitude that was so limiting, it was possible that Raya was looking for another man as a stopover even though Ika did not agree with such a thought.

Raya became up black to hear the manager's thump. “Sister! What the fuck is that brother's question? I'm not the kind of woman who likes to cheat, sister! That's not possible! Have I ever had another lover while I was in a relationship with a man?”

The manager shook his head firmly because in reality Raya had never done that. Even if never. Raya is always in love with healthy although Ika often does not understand the criteria of men of choice Kingdom which on average comes from the upper class. There was nothing wrong, but it was strange for him. Especially because he often heard the complaints of Raya who felt quite fed up with the life of being a celebrity. Several times the woman said that she dreamed of a normal life where she could become the Drisana Kingdom without pressure from many parties. That was the main reason Raya wanted to quickly marry a rich person. The goal is that he can live quietly without worrying about his life ahead.

And the desire of Raya was realized. The woman can live in peace now with the abundance of her husband's property. In fact, Raya does not need to work at all to fulfill her life. Whatever she wants, her husband will grant it. Unfortunately, it was all different from what the Kingdom had imagined. Instead of living as a normal human being as run by ordinary people, Raya is treated like a doll by Karan. That was more than enough to be the reason why Raya could turn away from Karan.

“Ya, indeed. Butwhy? Mbak even advised not to let Mr. Karan know. It's very strange, Ma'am,” the manager's scat.

Raya wanted to hide it, but she could not last long because if she was dishonest, the manager would not open a file containing information about Asoka's path. Raya gave up and revealed everything. “It's about my new job as director of the foundation. Yesterday, Karan and I went to an orphanage on Asoka Street. I'm sure I was there for the first time, but I feel familiar with the place, brother. I just want to know if my family has lived there or not. That's it.”

He looks honest in my eyes. Because there was no reason to harm them, so Ika decided to help Raya. He finally showed the data he had collected before coming to the place. Everything is displayed to the supermodel from graphical data to unique facts that he collects from various news sources. I don't actually work alone. He also gets help from others. The person who is currently the model because Raya is not actively working. That person was a newcomer who started a career as a model this one month. His name is not quite famous because he has just starred in several advertisements as an additional model.

Everything Ika said was exactly what Raya got from her husband. Nothing is added or reduced. But is it purely humanitarian aid for no other reason? Raya also asked her question. “Only that? Is there any hidden reason why Karan helped the settlement?”

The manager nodded. “Nothing. This is the only data I can collect, Ma'am. Maybe Mr. Karan and his father really purely want to help those people. Why don't you just trust him?”

To believe? It's not that easy Raya did. Karan is suspicious of him. The man was too shut up. Karan never once told his past. Starting from lung disease experienced by the man since childhood to birthmarks that were erased from his back shoulder, Raya did not know. The woman knows everything from the Karan family, from Karan's mother and aunt. If so, how can Raya trust her husband?

Not to mention the familiar feeling that burst into Raya's heart when she was along Asoka's path. The view has never been seen before. Everything looks new. It was just that there was something so powerful that made Raya feel a close connection to that location. He was just curious about it, but it seemed that he was just at a dead end. There were no bright spots at all and Raya did not have anyone who could help her. Just like Karan, Raya's aunt's response is also very strange every Raya brings up her past issues, especially about her childhood. The two people were as if they were covering up something so big from him.

And what was most frustrating to Raya was that she had absolutely no memory of what it was. Raya's memories stopped when she was in second grade High School. That's when he went to class. What happened before, how he lived and lived his days, Raya did not remember clearly. All he remembered was that his aunt was the only family he had at the moment and he only depended on the middle-aged woman. With such a superficial memory that made Raya had no choice but to obey all the requests of the aunt, even though it was torturing herself.

“I don't know, Brother. I just can't trust Karan completely. But I didn't mean to leave him. I just want to know about my past,” said Raya sadly.

Ika not able to see the gloomy face of the super model. He grabbed her hand and stroked her slowly. “Don't get too fixated on the past, Ma'am. What's wrong with not remembering the past? Isn't it most important what we live now so that our future can be bright? After all, not everything that happened in the past was a good thing. Maybe it's a bad thing that we don't need to remember at all,” he said providing motivation.

Yeah, that's absolutely right. The past doesn't really matter if we've gone through the present well. It's just that for Raya, her past seems to have a big connection with her husband. The man couldn't possibly know about himself so well without knowing the past from him.
