"Can we open a new page together?"
Raka asked that in a soft-sounding tone. If Raka could be honest, she would say that she took a heart out to Adista when she saw Adista working at the La Plaza Hotel. Maybe the way to approach wrong, maybe even seem arrogant. But deep down, he liked Adista. It's just that Raka hasn't been able to reveal everything.
There was no response from Adista. From the beginning Adista has said it is not easy for him to build a bond without love. Adista loves Rayyan. Even so, after Lombok Adista broke his relationship with Rayyan.
Raka then grabbed Adista's hand. Maybe now Raka can not talk much, but Raka is very serious with Adista.
"If you can't answer it's okay. You need time, right? I'll give it to her. Nor will I force you or impose my will" Raka said.
Again Adista can only be silent and teary. He felt guilty too, should he be able to forget all about it. However, the name human also requires a process. First, meet face to face with Rayyan. It instantly scratched his heart.
Raka looks more mature. He can accept Adista. He wants to give Adista time. Yeah, Raka's gonna wait for his wife. Raka also knows it is not easy to set the heart. Therefore, Raka will wait.
Meanwhile, past her first night as a married couple, Adista still had an unwillingness to lie down by her husband's side. This was indeed not the first time for him to go to bed with Raka. Previously in Lombok, he had also been in bed with the man.
"Just sleep, I won't bother you" Raka said.
"Why does Mr Raka take everything lightly?" ask Adista now.
"What's up, Dista? I don't take everything lightly. I've apologized. I am responsible for what I do. Besides, I apologize to my sister. Less what else?" ask Raka now.
Maybe Raka's attitude and upbringing seem to fortify everything. However, far from all that Dista knew, Raka had tried to talk to her sister.
"What do you want now? I gave it my all, but if I had to let you out of this marriage I couldn't" Raka said.
"Why can't Mr Raka?"
"Our marriage is not a game, Dista. You think this is all just a game?" ask Raka now.
Honestly, Raka was getting upset. However, Raka is still trying to hold back her emotions. He knew that treating women should be good. Therefore, Raka tried to speak in a non-fiery tone.
Adista is crying again. He's confused too. Raka was already unwilling to hold back any longer, she then walked towards Adista. There was no sound that Raka said, but there was a movement that Raka did. Well, he hugged Adista there. Without asking permission first. Because, Raka considers that Adista has become his full right. If just hugging is not a problem.
Raka sighed a few times, and rubbed his hair up to his wife's back. Raka knows, Adista still needs time. Therefore, Raka will be waiting. It's okay if it takes Adista so long.
While both of Adista's hands were shed, Raka took it and placed it to circle her waist. At least, in this way Raka shows her presence not only as a husband, but also as an existing and caring person to Adista.
Adista is still sobbing. Her tears of course wet her husband's shirt. Adista did not answer her husband's words either.
"Take care of your feelings first, I'll wait. Its alright. After Lembang, if you need time to talk to Rayyan do it. I wait," said Raka.
There may still be something that needs to be explained and straightened out between Adista and Rayyan. Raka also did not mind to give the two time to talk. Provided that after everything, all can stand each in his position.
"You asked for anything I'd give you, but don't ask for the annulment of this marriage. I can't" said Raka who confirmed her point.
"It has been more than a month since we returned from Lombok. Anyway, I'm fine. Nothing is different from my body. I'm not pregnant either," Adista replied now.
"Then, do you think that even if you're not pregnant, I'm not responsible? I'm not that kind of man, Dista. For what I do, I will be responsible. To my fault, I admit it outright. Not hiding anything," Raka replied.
Dista then unraveled his embrace on the man's body. He chose to go to bed. It's been so night. It's time to rest, after all, Dista also felt tired from crying too much.
"What do you want?" ask Raka.
"Rest, sir," she replied.
"Don't bring your husband?" ask Raka.
Adista. He chose to sit on the edge of the bed. Still confused too. Now, if you want to put the bolster as a barrier between herself and her husband is it justified? It's not allowed, right?
Raka then climbed into the bed, and lay down in her place. Then he pulled Adista's hand to lie on her side.
"Here, don't just sit there" said Raka.
"Don't put the bolster here?" ask Adista.
"For what? We are legal for each other. There doesn't need to be any barriers either" Raka replied.
Adista sighed. Honestly, however, she felt she was not ready to have a lot of physical contact with her husband. The matter of just setting the heart is not finished. Still shocked by the sudden meeting with Rayyan.
"If today everything is still gray leave it alone. However, I hope our marriage is not forever gray. It will be black or white, even the various colors of the rainbow does not matter. Already, rest. I'm not gonna ask for my rights tonight. I think of last night in Lombok as our first night. Instead, clear your heart first."
It looks how Raka can be kind, calm, and considerate. He did not impose his will on Dista even though the woman was now completely his. Instead of forcing, Raka asks Adista to clear her heart first. The sooner it is cleared the better. If it's settled then just wait for time to get used to it. Who knows, love and feelings will grow by themselves as time goes on.
