Rai Universe
CHAPTER 86. It Takes a Long Time to Be Strong.
Esta scrunched her forehead. He understood what Giri said. Instantly Esta came out of the room to meet the customer. He had forgotten the recording of Rai's voice that had just filled his brain.
“Kan no Nisa.” Esta. He used to meet customers like that.
“Udah is also taken care of by Mbak Nisa. But that Om won't. Said it should be the same Ma'am Esta.” Giri clear while walking.
Esta and Giri hurriedly went to the laundry that was at the front of the mess. Nisa is seen standing outside the room with an anxious face.
“People are waiting inside, Buk.” Obviously Nisa.
“Yaudah you guys wait here.” Esta's orders to Nisa and Giri.
Esta nodded then walked into her room. He could see a man wearing black pants and a black shirt rolled up his arms, standing behind him. The man was shaking his waist right in front of his desk.
“Sorry, Sir. My Universe. The Laundry Universe. Sorry if there was any mistake from us. We will indemnify whatever the cost.” Said Esta lirih. The man is still in his position. Not looking at Esta.
“If you are pleased, we will me........” Esta's sentence was instantly severed the instant the man turned around.
He's dumbfounded. Even his lips could no longer hold. Look straight at the smiling man. The time is running very long as it stops turning. He continued to look at the man who was now walking towards him with a surprised and unexpected expression.
Esta's feet seemed to be stuck on the floor. Can't move at all. Especially when the man who then grabbed him into his arms. Make Esta's eyelids reluctant to blink with a heart that has been pounding unbecoming.
“Hhhh. Kangennya...” Said the man softly clutching closely the body of Esta who sculpted.
Esta still couldn't respond. His body froze and numb. His heart exploded. Even when the man had already let go of his embrace and smiled at him.
Suddenly Esta's knee was squeezed. His breathing became irregular and he collapsed to the floor because his knees were not strong enough to support his body anymore.
“Esta!” It was the man who immediately restrained Esta's body. He then directed Esta to sit on the sofa.
Esta was still not aware of the fact that the man was now beside her. He rubbed his head and stroked his cheek. The man she missed was right in front of her.
Is this a dream?
“You okay?” Rai asked with a worried face. He panicked to see Esta's face paled as if he had seen a ghost.
“Mbak!” Pekik Giri who directly approached Esta along with Nisa. Nisa quickly gets a drink for Esta.
“What did you do to Esta?!” Said Giri who was already emotional. He almost punched Rai in the face.
“I didn't say anything to him.” Rai defended himself. He was shocked by the anger of the boy.
After a while, Esta managed to take control of herself. He looked at Rai. As if to convince his vision.
“You may not be doing anything. Why Ma'am Esta to gini shoots?!” Giri is still overwhelmed by emotions.
“Giri, Nisa. You guys can get out.” Esta Pinta.
Giri stared at the protest to Esta. As if he did not accept the expulsion. He was worried about Esta. But Nisa immediately dragged him out of Esta's room and closed the door tightly. He held Giri back so that the man would not go back into the room.
“Why can you be here?” Lirih. Forcing his voice to come out.
Rai raised his hand again. Now both of his hands are perfectly cupped Esta's face. A look of longing clearly emanated from both of his eyeballs. His heart trembled withholding that longing. And finally, he re-embraced Esta's body into his arms. He wanted to devote all his longing to his ex-wife.
“Sorry. I'm sorry it took so long to be strong. Sorry for keeping my promise.” Lirih Rai's. He stroked the back of Esta's head gently.
For a moment Esta was lulled with that warm embrace. If only his consciousness had not slapped his heart about reality, he might still have been there for a long time.
Esta broke away from Rai's embrace while gently pushing the man's chest away from her. Rai seemed a little surprised by the treatment. But he can understand. Just natural. It was their first meeting after almost eleven years of not meeting. It was natural that Esta became awkward with him.
Esta's heart is filled with intrigue. He was angry at fate as if he was playing with his feelings.
As he truly felt he could let go of everything, fate instead brought Rai before him directly. Now what should he be?
“Ta? How did you dream that?” Rai asked while researching Esta's face.
Esta blinked her eyes to master the situation. He turned his face in the other direction. He did not want to look at Rai's face. He hated looking at her. He was embarrassed to admit that he missed the man too.
“So, can we go back on the topic of conversation? How bad is the damage?” Ask Esta. The perfect conversation.
Rai just cringed. He could not guess what Esta was thinking with such a cold attitude. He can't even speak anymore.
“Nisa!!” Call Esta.
Nisa who was still waiting outside the room immediately entered after hearing Esta call him.
“Yes, Buk?”
“Please make a drink, yes.” His orders to Nisa.
Nisa nodded then walked out of the room. Giri who was still watching through the open door with a suspicious look.
Rai was still frowning in surprise with that sudden change of atmosphere. He did not expect that Esta did not meet him at all.
Though Rai had imagined the happiness that might occur when they met. He had imagined at least Esta would be happy to accept his arrival. It was not at all like this that was in his shadow.
“What is his broken clothes brought?” Esta is still turning the conversation around. He said in a polite tone as to his other customers.
“Ta Lirih Rai did not believe it.
Esta did not want to look at Rai directly. The girl always threw her gaze in the other direction and was unwilling to look at Netra Rai. It made Rai feel disappointed. He had imagined the beauty when they met. But Esta had forgotten herself and thought the meeting was just a casual encounter.
Rai forced Esta to look straight at him. He held Esta's cheek and directed her to look at it. Yet again Esta threw away her sight. Making Rai's heart melt for disappointment.
“You really don't want to see me?” Rai said again.
Esta fell silent. He really did not dare to look at Rai. He kept throwing away his sight. Make Rai then release his hand. The man looked very disappointed.
