Rai Universe
CHAPTER 45. Being In Its Zone Each.
Heart, stop pounding.
‘Stop, plisss stop. Angel, Ta. Rai just don't want his son for anything. All his attention was to his son. You must be aware. You must be aware. Can't be baper. Rai only cares about his son. Don't expect more. How many times has Rai said that all he cares about is his son. Point. So why are you the baper? Can't be baper. Anyway can't be baper!!’
Esta continued to hope that the orange light could make her heart calm again. He hoped that the beauty would be able to restore his heart to self-consciousness.
Yes, Esta is conscious. Very aware that all Rai cares about is the baby in his stomach. It was just an empty shell for Rai.
Rai gives her a jacket just because she doesn't want her to get sick and endanger her baby. Rai firmly says that. Rai tied her hair because she was afraid she would choke while eating and it could harm her baby. What else could make him aware?
‘Why are you baper, Esta? Is that a warning to you?
No! That attention is for your baby. Rai once said he was worried
same you? Never have! He always said he was worried about his son. Noth
same you. So wake up, Esta!’
The gaping hole in Esta's heart, was already filled by almost a quarter of it. Filled by Rai's concerns even though he knew the attention was never on him. He cursed his feeble feelings towards those concerns. Slow attention can make him feel comfortable around Rai Kenandra.
He knew he shouldn't feel that way. It's not worth feeling like that at all. What does he mean to Rai? There aren't. Just an empty shell.
Rai wouldn't have married her if it wasn't for the child in her stomach. He's not on her level. Only because of responsibility. Not more.
The sun had long since returned to its hiding place. Light up the other hemisphere to show off its beauty. But Esta, he was still fixated staring at the silhouette of the distant nun hill there. Setting a heart is not as easy as his mind.
While Rai, he is also engrossed in focusing on the screen of his phone. He no longer even felt the cold air that had penetrated his bones. Looking at that smile, his heart warmed. Defeating the wind that blows many times.
“It's getting colder, Rai. Kayak you.” Enb
you know why Esta had to be sloppy like that. I don't know what that means. Clearly, Esta just wanted to chat anything together with Rai to kill time.
Rai turned to Esta and closed his phone. Then put it in his pants pocket.
“Always I'm cold?”
“Either cold, what arrogant.”
“Hah?” Eskpresi Rai was full of questions.
“See if at school. Rarely talk. If you are invited to talk, just answer the potluck doang. Don't care about the surrounding.”
“I just don't want to deal with people who have nothing to do with me. Not important and a waste of time.”
Esta smiled wryly. They're almost the same. Only difference, no matter how Esta hoped to be considered, no one considered her existence. While Rai, he has all that attention but he doesn't like to be noticed. They are in their respective zones.
Ddrrtt, ddrrtt, ddrrtt, Esta mobile phone vibrate. That's a phone from Akash.
“Halo, Kash?”
Hearing Akash's name being mentioned, Rai immediately turned to Esta with a curious expression.
“Where Are you? I'm home but you don't have.”
“You're home? Oh gosh. I'm out” again
“Sama Rai?”
“Iya. Why, Kash?”
“Mau take you malmingan though.” Akash says.
“Malmingan? Same me?”
“Hehehehehe.”
“Mana here.” Hardik Rai who directly snatched the phone from Esta's hand. He doesn't like to hear Akash take Esta on a weekly night out.
It was too late for Esta to protest, because now her phone has landed perfectly in the man's ear.
“You're home? Sorry Kash, we are again at the top of my family.” I don't know, but it sounds like Rai is deliberately heating up Akash.
“Ya has passed.” Akash finally closed the phone first.
“Kok already in matiin?”
“He who matiin.” Bela Rai's. He returned the phone to the owner.
“Cchhh!”
“Udah malem, still want here do you want to go home now?” Tawar Rai's.
“Go back yuk. Nothing can be seen.” Esta stood up while patting her ass. Followed by Rai later.
On the way home, Rai did not forget to buy souvenirs for his grandmother, om, and tantenya. On the way, he just remembered something that passed through his mind. About going to Jogja.
“But Ta, can you go to Jogja? That long journey? Later if there is anything, how?”
“Don't know too, anyway.”
“Try me to ask Doctor Hafis, yes. Can't you come with me.”
“Hm. Not going away is okay either. I haven't paid this.”
“Who said not to pay? You are already paid off, really. I paid for it.”
“You are serious payin me?”
“Yes is.”
Esta fell silent. He felt even more unkind to Rai.
About thirty minutes later, their car had already entered the villa grounds. Esta immediately got out of the car while Rai was busy with the souvenirs she had bought earlier.
“Assalamu’alaikum.” Sapa Rai's.
“Wa’alaikum salam.” Reply to everyone who was gathered in the lounge.
“Udah home you guys?” Ask Citra.
“Iya, Aunt.” Answer Rai. He put the things he brought to the table.
“Where to go, Ta? Have you eaten?”
“Where was it?” Esta asked who forgot Rai.
“Peak Pass.” Answer Rai.
“Oh, yes. Peak Pass, Grandma. We ate with Nek.”
“Wiih exciting tuh sunday night streets. Definitely rame.” Pras chimed in.
“Padet, Um. But not to crash anyway.” Answer Rai.
After that they chatted lightly together before Rai invited Esta to go to the upper room.
“Still this hour already want to sleep?” Prevent salamah.
“Let's go, Ma. Mumpung is young.. Hihihihi.” Say Citra while mengu lum suspicious smile.
Esta did not understand why Citra was smiling so strangely. He looked at Rai who was also smiling in response. Everyone smiled to see it too. Only he doesn't understand.
“Iya. New bride... Heheheheh.” Pras chimed in.
Although they felt that they were laughing at him, Esta still followed Rai to go to the upper room.
Esta was cleaning her face in the bathroom while changing clothes to sleep. He did not bring a nightgown, he just took a nightgown in the closet for him to wear. It doesn't matter who it belongs to.
After that, he pulled out a book from the bag and took it to the study table in the corner of the room.
Rai frowned in wonder. Not usually Esta who took the initiative first to learn. Usually he forced Esta to learn.
“You learn? Not tired? Not sleepy?” Ask Rai in wonder.
“Neg. Still fresh.”
