The Pawned Wife
Chapter 40 > Meet Alessa For First & Last Time
Akandra's heart trembled after hearing the heartfelt words coming out of Audrey's lips. He shed his tears and his body fell to the floor. She did not expect that Audrey would still love her even though she already knew the cause of her sister's death was her act.
"Really, you are a noble woman, Audrey. You still love me even though you know all my mistakes. You can hate and punish me in the same way I lost your sister's life. But, what are you doing? You choose silence" Akandra said in a soft tone with tears dripping down her handsome face.
Hearing that, Audrey immediately crouched down and clasped both hands of Akandra. "I have no right to judge you like this, brother. Everyone has made mistakes like me. I only pray that Allah will forgive you for what you did to Alessa. So also with my sister, may Allah forgive her sin and accept Alessa by His side." Audrey stared fixedly at the two Akandra mayas.
Shortly after saying that, Audrey wiped away Akandra's tears with her delicate hands like silk cloth. "Don't cry and lament something that's already happened. Learn from the mistakes you have experienced. Make all that a lesson for Big Brother to be even better. Regrets only come at the end and all those regrets are pointless. All you have to do is, control your emotions when Brother is angry so that Brother does not make the same mistake that will make Brother regret someday. May Allah SWT forgive you" Audrey said tenderly.
Akandra hugged Audrey tightly. Her tears kept dripping down the hoddie that Audrey was wearing. Meanwhile Audrey could only fall silent while gently stroking Akandra's back.
Without realizing it, she also shed her tears. "Really, you are a noble woman. I'm getting convinced to ask you, Audrey. Please give me a chance to be a better person. Teach me that I can be as patient as you are" Akandra said.
Audrey let go of Akandra's embrace and nodded along with a small smile. "God willing, I will give you a chance. But before that, can I say something?"
Akandra nodded at Audrey's words. "Remove Big Brother's tears and replace them with a soothing smile. I like Big Brother better when I smile than crying like this. So the man should not be whiny" Audrey said with a smile.
Akandra quickly wiped his tears with his hands. In accordance with Audrey's words, she also showed a soothing smile. Then, he clasped Audrey's hands together.
"Thank you, I won't waste the opportunity you've given me. I will use this opportunity as best I can. Trust me," Akandra said with a fixed gaze.
Audrey nodded. "Yes, Akandra. I trust you. In the Lord, Brother will be a better man. I'll help you. Now that Brother's home, it's very late. It's not good if you're still in the apartment with me and we're not married. I don't want people thinking about us." Audrey told Akandra to go home in a gentle way.
"All right, I'm going home now. My heart is already a little relieved to hear all this heartfelt words of yours even though you have not forgiven me. I went home, yes" Akandra turned his body and was about to walk towards the door of the room.
"I've forgiven you, Akandra. Sleep well!" audrey stood up and looked at Akandra.
Akandra who had just arrived at the door immediately turned his body back. Instead of leaving Audrey, she went back to Audrey and looked at the woman she loved. Both Akandra's hands cupped Audrey's cheeks.
The cup!
Akandra kissed Audrey softly with love and tenderness. "Thank you very much, Audrey. I'll sleep well." Akandra smiled with happiness.
Audrey nodded in response to Akandra's words. After that, Akandra came out of the room of the woman she loved. This time Audrey said nothing more than tears in her eyes at the passing of the man who took Alessa's life and the man she loved.
He thinks it's a difficult situation. Loving men is not a mistake. However, loving a man who has lost his sister's life is something that is hard to get through. It is not easy to deny all the reality that happened, other than to accept it sincerely.

Audrey woke up from her sleep. How surprised he was when he realized he was in a very beautiful garden. This woman doesn't know where she is. Audrey woke up in the park.
To find out where he was, he got up and noticed the situation around him. 'Really, it's really beautiful. I've never seen a garden this beautiful, ' Audrey murmured in her little heart.
Suddenly he saw a puff of smoke that smelled so fragrant. Audrey was only fixated on seeing the smoke that was getting more and more visible there was someone behind the smoke. In his mind he wondered about what he saw and smelled.
"It's very strange. How can smoke smell this?" Audrey wondered to herself with her eyes still fixed on the smoke.
"Welcome my sister, Audrey," greeted the man behind the smoke.
Audrey did not know who the person who greeted her was like that. Out of curiosity, he walked closer to the smoke so he could see the face of the person who greeted him. As soon as he got closer to the puff of smoke, how surprised Audrey was at the sight of a woman with a face very similar to her.
Both of his eyes were perfectly rounded. 'Is this woman Alessa?' audrey wondered.
His gaze was still fixed on the woman with a face similar to him. "Are you my sister, Alessa?" audrey asked with all her doubts.
"Yes, Audrey. I'm your sister." The woman who was suspected Alessa smiled.
"Alessa .. Really, I'm so sorry that I didn't know where you were. I'm too late to know if I have a twin sister. I'm also sorry that I've forgiven the man who lost your life" Audrey's cry broke after seeing her twin sister.
"Do not regret anything you have done. In fact, this decision of yours is the best. You know, I've calmed down here and Akandra is the best of the best. Never betray her true love as I have done in my entire life. Trust her and one thing you should know, My sister .. it wasn't Akandra that caused me death. It was all just an accident. All of that was my biggest mistake. Go, meet Akandra and live happily with her. I bless you," explained Alessa.
