The Wife Who Escaped
The Disappearing Wife

Reynand, wearing a black suit and exiting the hotel with an old-fashioned appearance. The secretary who was waiting in front of the hotel greeted him and the two got into the car together.

It has been 6 days since I came to Europe for a business trip. Reynand was on his way to finish his final schedule.

“We plan to leave for the airport as soon as we finish the partner meeting at 11 am.”

Reynand looked out the window while listening to the secretary's words. He saw people walking with umbrellas in an exotic landscape.

Tests...Tests...Tests...

Raindrops formed on the car window, making my vision blurry. As I looked at the rain-drenched scene, something from the past suddenly flashed through my mind. This is the first time I have seen Kirana. Kirana with black hair falling under her shoulders, wearing a white school uniform. On her transparent white skin, there were raindrops or tears that I could not see.

The shadow of me standing like a drowning mouse sometimes flashed through my mind on a rainy day like this. My first impression was that she looked beautiful, but I think she also looked pathetic.But that's it, no more emotions. It wasn't beautiful enough to be charming, and it wasn't sad enough to make me want to help.

At that time, there was not a single day in my life where I would see Kirana again in my life. I did not expect that the girl who looked so small would become my wife...

Reynand who was immersed in memories, turned her gaze to one side. The place she saw was a luxury jewelry store on the main street. The jewels on display in the storefront sparkled and caught his attention.

The silver necklace seemed to be a match for Kirana.

“Please stop here for a minute.”

Reynand stopped the car and opened the door. She then goes straight to the store and asks to show him the necklace she is interested in. The store clerk praised his eyes, saying that the product was made by a famous designer.

Reynand looked at the necklace the employee had taken. There was a waterdrop-shaped diamond in the middle of the necklace. It seemed to match Kirana's thin neckline and pale complexion.

“Please pack this.”

Reynand held out her card and waited for the staff to pack her necklace. This is possible because there is still time until the meeting time.

Come to think of it, this is the first time I have personally chosen a gift for Kirana. Most work related to the purchase of gifts or family events is handled by the secretary. When I chose the item directly, I felt anticipation for the first time.

The face of Kirana who was happy to receive this, was already visible in front of my eyes. He'll be happy. I wanted to hug and kiss that happy face. All night, until I fainted from exhaustion...

I became excited as I recalled Kirana breathing heavily in my arms. When it comes to business and other travel. I have a desire to stop and go home. I could not bear to hug Kirana's weakened body for a few days. Now that he had eaten well and returned to his old self, there was no reason to hold back anymore.

Once I get home, I will go to the bedroom with Kirana in my arms. NO. NOPE. There seems to be no time to go to the bedroom. I will kiss Kirana who met me at the entrance and attach her body to my body. I'll spend the night enjoying the warmth of your breath and the smell of your body.

When I imagined the red face of Kirana, continuously breathing out, my heart even my head became hot.

"Master. We're done wrapping it."

My passionate imagination ended when I heard a word from an employee behind me.

Reynand must have been a little embarrassed, so she cleared her throat and walked towards the employee.

The small box containing the necklace was packed luxuriously.

"Do you like it?"

"Yes, I like it."

Reynand stuffed the packed box into her suit pocket. And when he was about to turn.

Rrrrr-r-rrrr-r-r-r-r-r---

His phone's ringtone rang throughout the store, and Reynand pulled out the phone from inside his service.

- Julia

Reynand's eyes narrowed as she looked at the name on the screen.

Meanwhile, from what I heard from Julia, who said that Kirana's daily life as usual.

He said he wondered if Ameera or the Chairman might come looking for him while he was away, but fortunately, that was not the case.

So, at the end of last night's report, he said there was no need to contact her unless something important happened.

Receiving a call from Julia, means something important is going on. Reynand answered the phone immediately.

"Hello"

[Hello Mr. Director, can I speak for a moment?]

Reynand could feel the urge in his breathless voice. Reynand also raised her voice and asked.

"Say, what's going on?"

[Your wife says she wants to walk because it's so frustrating to stay indoors. So we walked together near the house.]

"......"

[But Miss Kirana said there was something she wanted to eat, so Madam stopped by the supermarket to buy something... … … … ]

[Your wife has disappeared.]

****

Soekarno - Hatta International Airport.

Reynand got off the plane and immediately left the airport. A black sedan was waiting for him in front of the airport, and the driver was standing in front of him.

"Sir Director."

“Please give me the key.”

"Yes?"

“I'll drive.”

Reynand received the key from the driver and immediately sat in the driver's seat. This is because he thinks it's faster to drive alone than to have a driver.

Reynand rushed into the car, started the engine and stepped on the accelerator. The car was speeding on the road. Reynand, who was holding the wheel, had a deep frown between her eyebrows. This is an unresolved issue ranging from Europe to Indonesia.

[Your wife has disappeared.]

18 Hours ago, as soon as she received a call from Julia, Reynand canceled her final schedule and headed straight to the airport. Reynand tried to get there as quickly as possible, but the distance was very far and it was difficult to adjust the flight time, so he just arrived now.

Kirana's missing...?

This is hard to believe. Even before leaving for a business trip, Kirana greeted me with a wave of her hand. Kirana who even smiled and said,

'Hopefully your trip is fun.'

That he suddenly disappeared... I can't believe it unless I see it with my own eyes.

Reynand stepped on the gas pedal even further. The view passed quickly outside the window.

After walking for a long time, Reynand finally arrived home. Reynand parked his car in front of the house and got out of the driver's seat.

Julia stood in front of the gate with an anxious expression. As soon as he saw Reynand, he lowered his head.

“I'm sorry Mr. Director.”

Julia said, feeling guilty and not knowing what to do.

“I should have been there to help.... This is my mistake. I keep trying to contact Madam......"

Reynand passed by without saying anything. He couldn't even hear what Julia was saying. All he had in mind was that he had to go home first.

Reynand ran through the park and opened the front door. The air he encountered was unusually cold. She could faintly smell the scent that always emanated from Kirana.

Reynand went straight to the living room and saw that there might be Kirana. He walked around the place, going to the kitchen and bathroom. He also went to the dressing room. But I can't see Kirana.

Reynand frantically climbed onto the second floor.The study room, the warehouse, she tried to search everywhere in the bedroom, but remained the same. Kirana's not here.

"......"

Reynand's eyes trembled, and cold sweat formed on his forehead. Reynand ignores reality and starts looking for Kirana again. Kirana was not a woman who would disappear without a word like this.

Reynand walked around the house and pulled out her phone. Then he called Kirana. After a brief beep, a mechanical sound was heard.

[Customer cannot answer the call, so the call will be sent to a voicemail.]

He called again and again, but the voice that came back remained the same. After searching around the house for a while, Reynand stopped in her study.

"......"

He stopped walking His eyes were focused on his desk. It was the longest place he had stayed at home. There's a foreign envelope on the table. It was a brown document envelope.

- For Reynand-

The neat handwriting written on the envelope caught his attention, Reynand slowly walked towards him and opened the envelope. The envelope contained several sheets of paper, and the words were written on the first piece of paper.

[Divorce report by agreement]

Reynand's face stiffened, and her eyes fluttered. The next page of the document, and the chapter after it, are all about divorce.

"......."

After looking at her for a while as if she was in disbelief, she lowered her hand helplessly. The papers inside were scattered on the floor.

Reynand with a sad expression on her face, covered her forehead.

Something I never wanted to believe in finally came true. My wife is missing. He disappeared without a brief greeting. It was as if it had never happened in the first place, as if he had never been by my side.
