The Love Flakes of Nauvara

The Love Flakes of Nauvara
Have a good dream, Ranggga


Vara was still watching her two children who had just fallen asleep. Rangga's confession about the status of his children is still ringing in Vara's ears. Vara did not expect Rangga would do that, considering that one school used to know about Rangga who really did not like Vara.


After the unfortunate incident, Rangga brought Vara and her two children home to Vara's residence. Heavy rain flushed the city followed by a rumble, the prediction of a flood on the road to his house made Rangga undo his intention to return home after delivering Vara and his children.


Rangga was still sitting quietly on the sofa of the living room of Vara's house waiting for Vara to come out of her children's room. Regret rages in his mind given Audi's treatment and rant to Vara. How has Vara lived the past 5 years? There must have been so many people around considering Vara who was pregnant out of wedlock.


Vara who saw Rangga sitting leaning back made her hands into pillows while closing her eyes thought Rangga was asleep on the sofa. Vara decided to wake Rangga to sleep in his room, considering that Rangga could not go home that night.


Vara held onto Rangga's shoulder gently while patting him. "Strong... Wake up... Don't sleep here and your body hurts all."


Rangga flinched and opened his eyes looking at Vara with such a close distance to him. Without a second thought Rangga immediately pulled Vara into his arms which made Vara rebel to let go. The night's events still haunt Vara's mind, fearing it will happen again to him.


"Let Go... Why you??" Vara was still trying to let go of Rangga's embrace.


"How do you live your life after that night?" Rangga lirih.


Vara fell silent and let Rangga hug her even more tightly. "Why are you questioning that?" Replied Vara leaning her head towards Rangga.


Vara's sad eyes make Rangga can not turn to see the beauty that is in front of his eyes. The hatred that had been stored in his heart made him not realize that the figure in front of him was indeed perfect to be a woman.


Rangga again buried Vara's face leaning against the chest of his field. "Are you so hard to get through the days? What are the many bad words of people around you that make your life unsettled?" Rangga again asked the question that was still wandering around in his mind.


"I've forgotten it all Rangga... I don't want to remember the things that would make me not excited about the days and make my situation worse. The presence of Aidan and Yura was enough to make me grateful to have them... They're the reason I've survived and they've been my life's encouragement all along..." Vara paused her speech.


Rangga let Vara shed her tears. Vara's tears wet the shirt that Rangga was wearing. Vara who noticed it instantly let go of her embrace. "Sorry." Vara said slowly. He was very afraid that Rangga would be angry to have wet the clothes that Rangga was wearing.


"The one who should be apologizing has made your life a mess. From now on let me return all the sadness you have felt so far... I will not let Aidan and Yura get any ill treatment from the community... Also make lo Vara... So let me be the father figure who is always there to protect my children... When I got home from work saw them become my fatigue-relieving drug... And also learn from now on to accept me in your life!! I asked again and I did not accept rejection!! Are you willing to be my wife Vara??"


Vara nodded. For the moment his happiness is not important to him. The most important thing for now and in the future is the happiness of his children. Aidan and Yura would be very happy to know that he and Rangga would soon be married. His two hands would not be enough to cover the many mouths of those who would insult his children who did not have a father and family intact and Vara would not let that happen again.


"Thank you... Maybe we will get married without love between us... But I wish you could accept me in your life as well as me!! So I ask from now on you must realize if you are not a single woman who can be close to other men. Somehow Rangga still remembered the incident where Fero was so close to Vara and his two children, especially he and Fero had been competing since school. Remembering that alone had made Rangga's blood boil and his hands were already clenched.


Vara was so stunned to hear the words coming out of Rangga's mouth. He did not expect those words to come out of Rangga's mouth. But Vara chose to say yes rather than argue. After all, the nature of Rangga who did not like to be denied from the first made Vara's guts shrink to answer.


Vara glanced at the clock that had shown at 23:05 WIB. "You better sleep in my room... I'll sleep with the kids... It's not good if you sleep on the sofa later your body can ache..." Vara knew that Rangga could not sleep on the sofa considering Rangga who always lived in luxury.


Rangga agreed to Vara's suggestion. He was also tired and sleepy, feeling uncomfortable if sleeping on a sofa that was not enough to accommodate his body which was about 180 cm in height. Vara delivered Rangga into his room that was not too spacious but clean and comfortable, before he had taken plain T-shirts and training pants from his father's closet first.


"May you be comfortable sleeping here... This is my shirt and pants used to seem to fit if you wear... You just calm down this is still not used by father... Then I'll go to the children's room first... Um... May you have a beautiful dream tonight Rangga..." Vara said and immediately closed both of her lips with her hands after saying the last sentence.


Vara came straight out of the room without listening to Rangga's reply first. He deeply condemned his folly of saying such a sentence to Rangga. Rangga pulled both corners of his lips looking at Vara who was misbehaving due to his own words.


Aghs... I'm so embarrassed... How could I say that to Rangga...
