Raya and Defin were still silently staring at the night sky.
"Beautiful no" asked Defin
"There is only darkness I see."
"If you look at one star after a while you will see also the stars around it."
It is true that Defin said when Raya looked carefully at one star, one by one the other stars were visible.
"You want a drink?"
Defin is giving drinks to Raya.
"Good idea," said Raya and then drank until it ran out.
"The wood does not make you his adopted son, for it prepares you to be his weapon to protect him."
"I don't have a problem with that. After all Randra is indeed more worthy to be his son, he has a good performance, easy to get along with and always optimistic. Unlike me who likes a real action more I can't pretend just to make people like me. Randra deserves to be the face of his successor."
"He already has Randra who can continue his company. But, he did not yet have anyone willing to sacrifice a life for himself."
"One thing I love about my job."
"What?"
"Everything is in my control. Mr. Bayu gave me full access. Gaining trust is my greatest happiness. Knowing what others don't know, everyone's weaknesses and strengths are within my grasp."
Raya smiled obliquely, "Being the king behind the curtain?"
"May say so. I just found out what I really wanted to be in this position. Not wealth and luxury, I'm for power."
"You're not afraid I'm telling Bayu this? Because of that obsession you could be a threat to Bayu. You know he's in my arms right now."
He looked at Defin. Defin got up and approached Raya. Soft whispering in the ear of Raya.
"If you really want to say it, let's try. Who will he choose. Me or you!"
"Ck! Of course I'll lose. He will throw me away when he is bored. He only made me an impingement," Raya's speech weakened at the last word.
The 29-year-old man laughed when he heard that Raya had given up. "Do I need to tell you how to master it?"
"So you think I want to master Bayu? I think the information you got was wrong. I don't even have a reason to rule anyone."
"Satisfaction! You will have the satisfaction of having destroyed a family that has inflicted a deep trauma on you."
Raya stared intently at Defin. A sneaky smile was scratched on Defin's lips.
"I don't think you've been interested in watching me all this time. But, it turns out I was wrong. You managed to surprise me and it seems like a lot of things about me you already know."
"Not much but it's quite surprising. I thought you were the woman who got anything easy. The abundant affection of your parents became the only child of a wealthy businessman. Being the sole heir after your Mama died."
"It is still appropriate that she be called a mother. He even hates me so much."
"He's gone and you've got it all. Then why bring Bayu to your bed? You want to destroy Tessa?"
Raya laughed out loud and the laughter turned into the sound of sobs.
"I. I love her."
"Love?!" Defin laughed at Raya nonstop.
"Right now you just don't understand what exactly your desires are."
Raya wiped her tears and drank back the alcoholic drink until it ran out.
"I begged Tessa to take me with me, I cried about all the bad treatment I had. I even took off my entire shirt showing me the wounds on my body to her. You know what he said... "
Defin gulped down his drink and threw the empty can to the ground, the sound of the impact breaking into the silence of the night.
"She cupped my face with both hands and said half-whispered 'Your Mama gave the punishment because you are guilty, she loves you' I begged at his feet for him to take me away immediately but he didn't do anything."
"Why didn't you report your mother to the police?"
"When I was a junior high school student. There was a teacher who saw a punch in my hand he forced me to talk and he was willing to stand by me to report my mama's actions but all in vain.
They've been silenced with money, Mama assures them that I'm the one at fault. After the incident, Mama hit me in an invisible spot."
"But why didn't Tessa stop your mother?"
"Because she knew Mama had a mental breakdown after Papa's death. He understands very well that talking to a madman would be pointless."
Raya sighed then she took the bottle of drink that was in Defin's grasp. Raya grimaced as the drink spilled in her mouth cavity.
"Don't drink that, you can't be unconscious until tomorrow." Defin took the drink but Raya took it back and sipped it.
"The day I got the independence I dreamed of when I graduated high school, I found that crazy woman hanging stiffly in my room."
"Ironically the one path he chose" Defin said
"I cursed him to berate his body in front of me. But, I felt a void in my heart when I saw that there were tears flowing down her cheeks. I think back to the times when she loved me making me her favorite child. I hugged her feet crying so she wouldn't leave me."
"You're not happy he left so easily?"
"I'm afraid of losing the only person who's been my family. However, the sadness I experienced was lost when I found a pen on the floor that read Bayu company. Isn't it very strange, it's my room and I know all my belongings obviously never had that pen."
"You think Lord Bayu did that to your mother?"
"I refuse to be so prejudiced. After a few months Mama died I ventured to meet Bayu and gave him the pen. He just smiled and said 'I've freed you from suffering so live happily' It's clear that Mama didn't kill herself but was deliberately killed."
Defin smiled wryly and gulped down his drink.
"From that moment I admired her in silence, I wanted her to be mine even I dreamed of erotic activity with her."
"I think I've been the one who knows everything about Mr. Bayu but it turns out you're keeping a big secret that I don't know."
"I sometimes feel scared of him, sometimes I hate him for killing Mama but sometimes I thank him for doing that...."
Raya held her head which began to feel spinning. Raya back to lying down.
His eyes were blurred several times, he blinked his eyes. Slowly I felt a touch on his lips. Defin is touching Raya's lips.
"You want to sleep with me?" Raya smiles seductively Defin.
"If you weren't Mr. Bayu's puppet, I might have pounced on you by now."
Defin lying beside Raya. Raya was already half-conscious as Defin pulled Raya in his arms.
"Sleep forget all the events today that have made your chest tight," said Defin lirih
Warm. It was the first Kingdom felt as Defin clenched his body. Raya wants to push him away but the comfort makes him fall asleep and fall asleep.
At 10:40 Raya woke up because the sun seemed to burn her skin. Raya bagnkit and rubbed her face. Looking around, he was still in the same place.
"You let me sleep on the hood all night. It's heartless."
"Stop complaining and think of a reason to give Mr. Bayu because you didn't come home all night."
"I'd just say I slept with you last night. Doesn't he really believe you, you think if I say that, does he still believe you?"
"As far as you go." Defin knows Raya can't do that.
Raya walked slowly into Bayu's house while Defin returned to the pavilion that was behind the main house where the workers were staying in the house.
While on the doorstep, Raya saw Bayu and Tessa talking in the middle room.
"You tried my cake, yeah. It must be delicious, I made it especially for you."
Tessa feeds a piece of chocolate cake to Bayu. Bayu ate the cake.
"Lumayan. But it's too sweet, next time reduce the sugar."
"Don't you just intend to make a conversation. Just need to say my cake is delicious." Tessa pursed her lips in disappointment.
Bayu persuaded him with praise and kissed his wife's cheek affectionately.
Raya took a deep breath and passed by them without wanting to see this any longer. Feeling bad at the play of Bayu.
"Raya," call Bayu when he sees Raya passing in front of him.
"Raya, you're home. Where were you all night? Aunty asked Intan it turns out you are not in the cafe. You're from anywhere." Tessa asked as she moved closer to him.
"It's none of your business!" Raya turned her body and stepped up to leave Tessa.
However, Bayu pulled Raya's arm to stop her steps. Smells the pungent smell of alcohol from Raya.
"Take your word, even if you're drunk!"
"Deliver!" Raya thrashed to release Bayu's grip on his arm. Tessa approached them trying to calm her husband down.
"That's it. Let Raya rest first she just got home." Although Tesss continued to try to calm Bayu he still lenggan to release Raya.
"I can't keep my attitude I have much to learn from you to be a hypocrite!"
Plakkkp....
A slap landed on Raya's cheek. Suddenly Raya's ears felt deaf for a moment. Raya felt a salty taste in her senses. Raya touched the edge of her lips. There's blood on there.
"Thank you for the welcome, Om." Raya smiled obliquely and left Bayu who was still fixated.
"Wood! What did you just do!?"
Bayu regained his senses as Tessa called out her name and shook her body repeatedly.
"You must be sane when facing him, the mental Kingdom has not healed completely."
"Bec... Raya," call Bayu lirih
Then chase Raya. Knocked on the door of the room repeatedly. However, Raya did not want to open that door either.
Tessa approached Bayu who was still standing in front of the door of Raya's room. Take her husband away to give time to Raya herself.
While Raya was in the bathroom spewing out all her entrails, the nausea she felt was not restrained anymore. His head was very sick and spinning.
I had too much to drink last night. But, why the effect is so strong, do not - do not Defin put something in the drink. But, she also drinks in the same bottle as me and she's fine.
Raya washed her face and then dried with a towel. Raya walked gontai to his bed.
Even crying cannot be done. I remember what happened a few minutes ago.
"He makes no difference" muttered Raya
The slap did hurt but his heart hurt even more. Seeing Bayu make out with his Tante alone was already a heavy blow that he had to accept. Now he has to take a slap from the one he loves.
One week has passed. Raya still does not want to talk to Bayu or Tessa.
He left the window of his room open, and used the dim light in his room. Raya looked at the darkness of the night out there with a blank look. Like his heart that was now broken to pieces.
The sound of a lock was heard outside the door of his room. Bayu went into Raya's room. He sat on the edge of the bed stroking Raya's hair and stopped at the corner of Raya's lips which still had a slight cut and bruise.
"Sorry" he said
"Go back to your room."
"I want to be here."
"I think I know why you're seeing me."
Raya got up from the bed and released the pajamas that covered her body.
"You want my body, don't you. Do it quickly then go back to the room and pretend nothing happened tonight."
"What are you doing?"
"Have not tried to resist your desires." Raya cupped Bayu's face and kissed her lips.
"Richa!" Bayu pushed Raya's body, "I want to apologize about what happened a few days ago, I didn't mean to hurt you."
Raya pulls Bayu and kisses him back on the lips.
"Raya, enough! I just want you to understand me and we can go through this like before. Don't ignore me anymore."
"Walking everything as usual? Can you explain what you mean by that? As far as I know every day you see me quiet - silent at midnight after your wife sleeps then you fuck me and go back to your wife."
"You judge yourself that way. Don't you have any self-respect?"
"Do I have any self-worth in your eyes? Who took that pride away from me?"
Raya sat on the lap of Bayu and returned to kiss Bayu's body.
"Stop! I shouldn't have seen you first."
Bayu let go of Raya's embrace and got out of bed. When he was about to open the door his steps stopped when he heard the sound of sobs Raya. His heart was as if it hurt to hear Raya cry.
Bayu back to Raya. He hugged Raya tightly. Raya still she had a sense of tightness that was seeping inside her chest. The feeling was so painful that it made both her eyes glazed over and Raya's cry broke in Bayu's embrace.
"I'm sorry for making you desperate, Raya. I'm sorry for what I did you got a scorn from Javier."
"Don't do anything to her. I've overcome Javier. He'll never see me again."
Defin recounts all the events that Raya experienced at the party that night. Actually he wants to remain silent, only when he knows the quarrel Bayu and Raya make him have to act and tell what has been missed by Bayu.
Of course it managed to make the two of them make up so Defin was not bothered by the attitude of his Boss who turned grumpy since fighting with Raya.
