Rahim Nayra For Naura
Chapter 45 - Still Bitter

It was already noon, but Raka was reluctant to leave for the office even though the man was already dressed very neatly because he did intend to work. Yet. Raka knew today would not be able to focus on her work so Raka chose to stay at home, more precisely in the guest room that had been occupied by Nayra.

Raka sat on the edge of the bed, she lowered her head and covered her face with both hands.

The memories with Nayra are recorded clearly in Raka's mind, how the first time they met, became acquainted, established a relationship as a brother-in-law until Raka finally fell in love with him.

Now, when there is hope and a great opportunity he can have it, it turns out fate actually says another. Perhaps true, the love Raka had for her sister-in-law was Forbidden love, a love she did not deserve.

"Shall I let you go, Nayra?"

Raka also remembered how Bian and Nayra's relationship during this time, the two people seemed to love each other sincerely. In fact, it had made Raka jealous of Bian.

"Should I give you back to what you deserve?"

Raka again remembered how he took away the woman's chastity, although Raka did not know that it was Nayra, in the end she realized it. However, instead of being angry at Nayra or feeling guilty, Raka took the opportunity very well by making sure Nayra would get pregnant.

"Am I so selfish to have you, Nayra? I love you so much, Nay."

"Pa?" peekkik Bu Irna when she saw the husband was now home with a face that looked so lethargic. "Where's nayra? Papa from where? Raka said Papa took her away, Papa took her from where?"

Mr. Desta just looked at his wife with nanar, his gaze seemed empty until Ms. Irna shook her husband's shoulder. "Pa? Why the hell?" tanyakanya.

"Naito..."

"Yes, where's Nayra? Where'd you take him?"

Mr. Desta looked into the wife's eyes, anxiety clearly visible in the twin's mother's eyes. "Mama's worried about him?" It was precisely that question that came out of the mouth of the husband that made Ms. Irna look upset.

"I am her mother, I conceived her and gave birth to her. Where did you take my son?" yell Miss Irna. "From last night I tried to call you, Pa, I also couldn't sleep because I kept thinking about you two" said Ms. Irna with teary eyes.

Mr. Desta took a look at the wife's face, his eyes were so sweet. "I know you're his mother, Pa, and I'm his father" said Mr. Desta with a slanted smile. "But I just found out we're not good parents."

"Over this time we forget to watch the children, we also forget to pay attention to whether they are happy or suffering." Mr. Desta's tears just came back but he immediately wiped them, while Ms. Irna just silently listened to our words.

"We think children are happy with their lives, we are wrong. They suffer, especially Nayra. He's been really suffering all this time, Ma." Mr. Desta's tone suddenly rose, full of emotion. "Naura presses him, Raka uses him and us? Mama know what our role is?" The middle-aged man hissed sharply right in front of the face of the still-loyal wife. "We're worse than Naura and Raka, because we're putting more pressure on Nayra. We're like salt that makes the wound sting worse. Are we really a mom and dad?"

Ms. Irna was stunned to hear the husband's words, even unconsciously she let out her tears.

"He lost Bian, he lost his freedom, he lost his future. God, why can we give birth to a child with such a miserable fate?" Pak Desta complained languidly. "My poor nayra."

Naura could only silence her father's words which were true.

Naura stepped slowly towards her parents, but she stopped as her father's sharp gaze was now on her. "You happy now, honey?" pak Desta's. "Get that perfection, if at the expense of Nayra is not enough, please sacrifice Papa as well."

Tears immediately spilled from Naura's eyelids, it was so painful to hear her father's words especially with his very unusual gaze.

"Pa...." Naura said softly.

"Papa's tired, Ra, Papa can't listen to your defense right now. Papa wants a break."

Mr. Desta rushed to the room but Ms. Irna immediately chased after him. "Nayra where is it, Pa? Where are you taking him?" For the next time the question was repeated.

"I .. I made him go far, until he could not find his way home" replied Mr. Desta who made his wife frown in confusion.

"What's? How come?" ask Miss Irna confused. However, Mr. Desta was reluctant to answer that question. He went into the room and locked the door from the inside.

"Pa?"

"Father, open the door!" Ms. Irna screamed loudly, tears were already flooding on her cheeks thinking about her daughter's current state of nowhere.

"Where's Nayra, Pa?"
