The Successor's Wife of the President
A determination

Somewhere else...

Rayyan was pensive in her turmoil in a park alone.

The man still regretted the kindness of his mother Denna who had given the address where Arumi was.

That of course made him even further away from the hope of approaching Arumi again. On the other hand, Arum is even in a state of disappointment due to his feelings revealed some time ago.

But he was sure that the hazel-eyed woman would never show the impression of hatred on the tall man one hundred and thirty-three centimetres ahead.

Princess Arumi, is indeed the only name neatly embedded in his chest since the days of Junior High. Rayyan's first love even she hoped it would be her last as well. So that made him try hard to show his concern for Arumi especially when he knew the woman was depak from the big house of the Sanjaya family.

# flasback...

The two spoke in the garden behind the Denna family home. The night before Denna and Arum went to Banjarnegara.

"Arumi, I want to apologize for what I said at that time. Perhaps this is the initial cause, the accusation is directed at you."

Arum raised his face. Reviewing the faint smile.

"No need to feel guilty. I've forgotten about it. I'm the one who wants to apologize to you. Because of me, you're in trouble. You even have to bear the brunt of all this. To the point of losing your job."

Rayyan smiled. "The job means nothing. I'm just being annoyed, my father is so happy. Because with that, I could hold one of his small branches."

Arum. His hands are playing with each other's thumb nails.

"Rum, really! You don't have to think about this. I'm fine." Quietly, hesitantly shifting his sitting position closer to Arum's side.

He also took the woman's hand. Kontan, Arum pulled back even though the edges gave up because of the strength of Rayyan's hand grip.

"Ray, don't be like this." Ask to be let go. The look in his eyes also pointed nervously at the man who looked sincerely looking at him with sadness.

"Rum, I want to ask you. What, after this, you're going back to him?"

Arumi. His mind had not even reached that question.

"I suggest, you better not, Rum! You know better how much that guy treats you. No more, I really don't want you to be held back like this."

"I know, but?"

"But what. Don't tell me you have any thoughts of coming back? What exactly did you see from that tyrannical man? His handsome face? Wealth?"

Arum stared dislikefully. With his last words. Rayyan sighed, again lowering the intonation of his voice that had risen earlier.

"There are no commendable deeds that you can admire from that man, Arumi. In addition to the pain that will become more when you still want to accept it after this."

"You're wrong, Rayyan." He nodded with a soft voice.

"I'm not wrong, I'm talking facts. He's not a man who deserves the title of father to your son. Didn't you open your eyes?"

Arumi shed her tears. "Stop Rayyan. Don't you be ugly father-to-be of this fetus I carry."

"Why? The fact is that man is. He doesn't even admit his own son. Only a loser and shallow-brained man never wants to admit his partner's pregnancy."

"I'm..." Rayyan patted his chest. "I'm ready to accept you, even consider this child as my son."

Hearing that, Arum released his hand.

"You're kidding me!"

"i'm serious. Leave him, please.." Rayyan asked Arum to leave Arga. His love is very big for the woman in front of him, making him really unwilling if Arumi is hurt. "I can't promise you much treasure. But I'm sure I can make you happy. Believe me, I consider you a goddess in my heart. Unlike him who thinks you're his slave."

"Ray, if you think I'm holding out because of his property, that's a big mistake. You need to know, for me marriage is a commitment to God. Death is the same as disappointing God. In reality, divorce is not forbidden. But God hates that."

"But what he gave you is hell, Arum. It's not a marriage that holds heaven in it."

Arumi shed her tears, then wiped them fast.

"It's my destiny. The man just misunderstood.I believe it, he'll bring back his regrets."

"If it really isn't? Then fate seems to be on my side and yours?"

"It's just a secret of the sky. I don't want to go ahead of him."

"Why are you this big boy?"

Arumi smiled faintly. "Life has brought me to sail in a wet room. I'm used to it. While my heart tells me to continue to be prejudiced towards anyone, especially my own husband. I don't think it's because I'm stupid, Ray."

"But I want you to be happy."

"Why don't you try to make yourself happy, Rayyan? Don't you realize you've been torturing yourself? By loving married women."

"Before, I knew you better than He did." Rayyan pointed out that fact.

"But in reality. I'm not alone now. It's my choice, Rayyan. And you have to accept this."

Rayyan leaned over to clutch her own head. I don't think he has accepted this defeat.

"Sorry Rayyan, but please. Seek your happiness with others."

"I won't be able to find any other happiness because it's just you Arumi" he muttered in the same position.

"Be assured, one day you will meet a girl who will occupy your day and mind all the time besides me. Making reality more beautiful than a dream cradle."

Rayyan flinching. Firm on his belief, that his heart is only for Arumi, will not be left for another woman. He also moved without saying goodbye to just walk away.

Enough talking to him. He will only see his progress after this. But don't think he'll let anything happen to the woman he loves. Anyway, Rayyan will be ready to put up a body for Arumi.

# Flasback off

Rayyan clenched the can of soda drink in her hands with all her might. Until it gushed out wetting the hands.

"Look Arumi. I'll stand by monitoring you. If that man really let you go then I will directly drag you into the office that records the wedding. Without waiting for you to agree, I will replace the man who will not admit his own son. For the sake of showing you that I really mean it."
