Rajasa
Multifaceted Love

Edelweis is in a transition period. His relationship with Ryan is strained because Ryan is concentrating on taking care of Nurmala.

His relationship with Rajasa is also distant. He prefers to spend his time in Australia. Even every weekend.

Work once a week to two weeks to Australia for one to two full weeks. Added every week.

Edelweiss spent a lot of time with Malika and Vienna. Concentrate fully on her pregnancy.

Don't want to think of anything. Besides her, Malika and the baby she contains.

Thinking about getting back to work. But do not want to be in the same office as Rajasa and Nurmala. Two people he hated.

It occurred to him to live only with Malika and the baby she contained. But it is the same as giving rewards to Nurmala. He also did not want to offend Ryan. Which was very good to him.

Rajasa has been going to Australia since Friday night. Straight from his office. Even if they're home. They rarely meet and greet.

Breakfasted. They don't talk much. When Rajasa comes home from work. Spend time alone.

Eating food. Cleaned himself and slept. Play with Malika.

Their interaction is only limited to Malika.  Their relationship became cold and bland.

While in Australia, Rajasa spends a lot of time alone. I was busy with work and college.

I refuse to marry again. What if it doesn't work anymore? But I also do not want to be in the pit of sin. If it is not possible for me and Edelweis to unite. What to force?

After divorce. Thinking about moving to Australia. Work and build a family here with Kinanti.

I don't need to see him happy with Ryan. They both waited for this moment to arrive. I can't trust them both. Both are the same. Victim playing. They had planned it long ago.

He planned to buy a piece of land and a house. Become a permanent residence. Find a company that wants to take it to work. Or apply to work at a branch office of his company located in Australia.

If you can find the last alternative. He was looking for another company. Enviromental and circle problems work. And he's been very attached to the company where he works.

“Should we get married?” Ask Kinanti.

“Why don't you want to get married? Aren't you afraid of sin?”

“I just want to be practical. I have my own life. I didn’t want anything coming across.”

“To be truth. I didn’t want to get married again. Already failed. But I didn’t want to stay in sin. I am not sacred. But I want to do it right.”

Kinanti.

“How if everything didn’t work it out?” Ask Kinanti.

“At least we have try.”

“I don’t like commitment. It will tie me up.”

“ I didn’t want to continue our relationship if we don’t do it right.”

“I want to be free.”

“What do you mean?”

“To be honest. I never have any intention to end up as a housewife. I also don’t have any intention having kids. Just let everything the way they are.”

Rajasa fell silent at the words of Kinanti. Her beauty and intelligence made her want to break away from religious norms.

“You are moslem. What we do is adultary. Its a sin.”

“Yeah. I know. But I can't choose something that never will be my choice. God is full mercy. He will forgive the sinners.”

“How can you be so sure about that?”

“We never know what is our position in God side.”

“You feel sacred with all of your sin’s?”

“I don’t say that. But I am adult. I have a freewill to choose. And this is Australian not Indonesian. Difference consequences.”

Rajasa did not want to argue with Kinanti. It's no use either. Because Kinanti will insist on his stance.

His studies in Art made him a very free spirited person. His work and education caught his attention.

Working in an art gallery while in college kept him very busy. Often even weekends if it coincides with the event of the art gallery where he works. He has to work and work.

“You don't need to work. If you marry me. I will be responsible for all your needs. How?”

“Then it ends like your wife?” Kinanti laughed widely.

“My wife asked for a divorce. I'm not the one who wants to divorce her. I'm trying to prevent it. But he fought me with all his might. I have no other choice. Besides divorcing. He's gonna marry my best friend. Can you imagine that?”

“As I said. I don't want to end up being a housewife. Especially having children. Life's perfect. I am very enjoying my life. I didn’t let anything to ruin it. Our relationship is perfect. We can meet each other’s needs. So what?”

Edelweis preoccupied himself with Malika and the baby in her womb.

During the weekend, he often asked Basil and Amarilis to accompany him. Malika is very happy to spend time with her mother, grandmother, and aunt.

If Edelweis' mother does not feel tired with her catering business. Accompany them all.

They drive to check out the pre-tk school options for Malika.

There are several schools that attract the attention of Malika. It's just not being able to decide yet. Edelweis also plans to give as much input as possible to Malika.

Basil, Amarilis and his mother came to Edelweis' house in his mother's Honda City silver car.

“We will not fit if you ride your mother's car or me or Rajasa. “ Edelweis said.

He and Rajasa own three cars. Audi A6 Amthys Grey Metallic, Audi A7 Grey Metallic owned by Rajasa and Honda Odyssey Beige Metallic.

Basil drives a Honda Odyssey. His mother sat next to Basil. Edelweis and Amarilis in the middle. Malika with Vienna in the back.

The vehicle is driving calmly. The silent atmosphere covered them. Malika spent her morning breakfast in the car. Broomed Vienna. While playing his favorite doll. Lizzy's.

His mother opened her voice. In the middle of silence.

“You're getting divorced with nak Rajasa, nduk?”

“Iya bu.”

“Have you thought of everything?”

“Iya ma'am. I can't accept his betrayal.”

“The name is male, Nduk. Seduced it's plural. Moreover, your husband has abundant wealth. Treasure, throne and women. It's mundane. It's important that he still maintains his household with you. Moreover, his betrayal had already passed. Think Malika. Household you two.”

“If he loves me. He won't betray me.”

“He left his affair. And trying to defend your household. Stay responsible for you and your children. What is it called if not love. His betrayal was because of lust. Don't follow emotions.”

“I can't ma'am. I'm sorry.”

“You're very stubborn. Being a widow is not easy.”

“I know but I can take care of myself. You don't have to worry.”

“Amarilis says you'll marry Ryan?”

Edelweis looked at his sister in annoyance. Amaryllis moved her lips to form the word sorry.

“Iya bu.”

“Become a widow and actor!” His mother's voice pierced his heart.

“Bu!”

“What's wrong I said so?”

“English. Ndak bu.”

“Mother is old. Don't burden the mother with things she can't afford, nduk! Mother always taught you religion, ethics, manners and morals.”

“Ryan loves me, ma'am. He won't hurt me. I'll be happy with him.”

“But he's married. What do people say? He'll be labeled a player and you're a performer.”

“Klop right?” Sahut Basil chuckled.

“Not funny!” Sahut Edelweiss.

“Nduk! Watch my advice. Think about it all again. I don't want you to be a widow let alone an actor!”

“Ryan's wife was married to Rajasa in series. I just want to teach her what pain is.”

“Stay only. People see you as an actor. Especially if they are divorced. It's all over. Don't be stupid!”
