Rajasa
Quintessence
Rajasa's forehead pulsates. His relationship with Edelweis was often stormed. Making him dumbstruck.
Why did my relationship with Edelweis go through so many phases full of thorns as well as storms?
Why am I so stupid? Running to another woman every time my relationship with Edelweis is in a difficult situation?
Rajasa lamented his every folly but the rice had already become porridge.
Rajasa prepares to head for Australia. Meant to settle his affairs with Kinanti.
He's been through this before with Nurmala. The plan was neatly arranged in his head.
Arriving in Australia. Rajasa did not contact Kinanti directly. Take time to think and calm yourself.
Everything that happened between him and Kinanti. It is no different from Nurmala. He never intended to replace Edelweis with anyone. Their relationship is in a difficult situation.
I can definitely finish all this. Must be!
Rajasa held his foot on the bed. His thoughts drifted on Edelweis and Malika.
Leaving Edelweis pregnant and a problem lurking in their household. Like an egg on the tip of a horn.
I wish you would trust me one more time. I know, I've always been stupid but that doesn't mean I want to lose you, Malika and my little hero.
Edelweis nearly leaves her and marries Ryan when she learns of his relationship with Nurmala. It was over when Edelweis found out.
What would have happened if Edelweis had known? His relationship with Kinanti was as he was desperate for his marriage to Edelweis.
They're going to get a divorce and Edelweis is going to marry Ryan. He wanted to give up on his marriage. Living his new life.
Oh God! Will he be able to understand how complicated I am? Will he understand my complexity and simplify it so that our marriage is not always on the edge.
Does she believe she's the only woman I love? The only woman I chose to spend my life with?
I know the love I bargained for was poisonous and full of thorns. But the beauty of the rose is precisely in the midst of the thorns that surround it.
Edelweis as beautiful as roses despite various bitter events wrapped our marriage together.
His mind drifted on Kinanti. That girl is interesting as a woman. Smart, sexy and beautiful. But his persona and appeal are very different to Edelweis.
His interest in Kinanti and Edelweis when compared to flowers may be like roses and edelweiss.
As the name implies, his interest in Kinanti may be passionate because it is overcome with lust. And only lust. It all ends after being satisfied.
And Edelweis? Like the edelweiss flower thing that is on the brink. Very steep. But not make it recede let alone tremble.
Its simple beauty. Stun him. Eternal flowers. Not wither. Bersemi and never die. Thus the parable of his feelings for Kinanti with Edelweis.
The loyalty, simplicity and beauty that included Edelweis made him still choose him as the only one in his life.
I got you with great difficulty. Defend you without giving up. Rajasa's determination in the heart.
This is not prestige let alone arrogance. But the essence of true love is like an edelweiss flower. Sometimes it is in a difficult and not easy place. It requires struggle, hope and persistence.
The next day, Rajasa meets Kinanti at a place they have agreed to.
Rajasa refuses to meet at the Kinanti apartment or at his hotel.
“I don't want to betray my wife's trust. He's given me a chance. I will not waste his trust in me. If you want to meet me. We agreed on the place.”
“Good. I just want you to take responsibility for what you did.”
Kinanti seemed to have been waiting for Rajasa's arrival. His body is getting full.
“A long time?”
“Half hour.”
“I on time.”
“I came early.”
“What do you want to order?”
“What's.”
He ordered food and drinks for both of them. Barquette bread, cream soup aspagarus, salmon steak with cheese potato balls. Fruit salad. Apple juice. Carrot cake's.
“What do you want?”
“Wedding.”
“Why did you turn a hundred and eighty degrees? You're the one who doesn't want to get married.”
“Because I'm not pregnant.”
“Because you're pregnant all so changed?”
“I don't want my son not to have a father.”
“I can't marry you.”
“You really are a jerk!”
“There are many reasons why I can't marry you.”
“You're just looking for a reason.”
“Whatever!”
“You threatened me?”
“I have no other way.”
“Who said?”
“What do you offer?”
“Some money.”
“I can suffice my son from my income. I want status for my baby.”
“Your baby is an adulterous child. They will never have status. Married doesn't change his status.”
“You are very unreasonable. It's your flesh and blood!”
“I do not recognize descendants other than those born by wives I legally marry. And that's just my wife. Nothing else.”
“You're really outrageous.”
“Why didn't you marry your ex-boyfriend? Or someone else who wants to build a house with you. Spending his life with you.”
“You really are a jerk!”
“I don't want you to threaten me! If my wife finds out. You will receive the consequences!”
“What will you do?”
“Don't make me show you my dark side. You're not gonna like that. Trust me!”
Kinanti's body goosebumps. Rajasa's tone is very serious and not playful.
“What will you do to you?”
“I don't know yet. But if you want to get into the list of missing people you can try it.”
“You're gonna kill me?”
“I'm not that stupid.”
I'm breathing a sigh of relief, “what are you going to do?”
“Hire a hit man to enjoy your body before killing you.”
Kinanti's face was pale pias. Body shivering.
“You won't dare!”
“Try it! You'll never know.”
His appetite evaporated.
“Eat. Salmon is good for pregnant women. Likewise with salad and fresh fruit juice.”
“I don't need your fake attention. Your responsibility.”
“You yourself do not want to get married. Now tell me you're pregnant. Asking me to marry you.” Rajasa stared at Kinanti in the eye as if he wanted to swallow her alive.
“What exactly do you want? From the beginning of our relationship without bond. A limit to the impingement of lust. You're not even just related to me but your ex. You can ruin your own life but not someone else's. I don't know what you mean behind all this!”
“I just want you to be in charge.”
“You refused some money from me. I can give you anything but marriage. You're the one who refuses to marry and wants to have a free relationship with anyone who likes and wants to. Now you're loading everything on me. What do you mean exactly?”
“If you refuse to marry me. Then just wait for my revenge!” Said Kinanti rising from her chair.
Rajasa stared at Kinanti's departure with a huffed face. The woman wants to ruin her household and marriage. What's he supposed to do?
Rajasa called his wife.
“Halo, who is this?”
“I.”
“Kajasa, what is it?”
“Will you forgive me if I repeat my mistake?”
“Should we discuss this?”
“I just wanted to ask. Are you going to keep our marriage or are you demanding perfection?”
“This is not a matter of perfection. It's a matter of feeling.”
“Are you going to listen to my explanation or are you just going to leave?”
“What are you talking about?”
“I want to trust me more.”
