The Wife Who Escaped
You Exist Where

"Do you want a drink?"

Kirana turned her head when she heard the soft voice she heard next to her. A flight attendant stood next to her with a cart filled with drinks and snacks.

"No. Thanks."

The flight attendant responded to Kirana with a friendly smile. Then he pushed the wagon forward and away.

Kirana checked the time. Will he arrive at his destination? It's less than an hour away. Although he would soon arrive in a foreign land and start a new life, he was not afraid. Instead, he felt like he could breathe. He no longer had to stay in that stifling place.

Kirana looked out the plane window. Because it's night, the clouds look faintly in the dark. A person's face floated behind the faint clouds.

Has he reached home now?

If he had rushed after receiving the phone call, he might have already arrived. What kind of expression did he make when he realized that I had left?

It may be confusing at first. He would be angry and feel astonished, He might feel betrayed for disappearing without saying a word. But that incredible feeling is only temporary. Because he is an intelligent man, he quickly realizes reality and makes new decisions and he will find a new wife.

This time, he would find someone with perfect conditions who would definitely achieve his goal. Because he doesn't want to repeat the same failure.

As she calmed her mind, Kirana closed her eyes.

He's someone I don't need to think about anymore. He is someone who can live well without me. No, he is a person who could live better if I disappeared. But no matter how many times I promised myself, at some point, he reappeared in my head.

'I'll be right back.'

Kirana opened her closed eyes.

The shadow of Reynand I last saw kept reappearing in my mind. He stood in front of the entrance, wearing a wrinkle-free black suit.

A person who doesn't like to waste a second of time, stays at the front door for a very long time on that day.

'Later, once I'm established, and my busyness has diminished from now on.'

That softly spewed voice kept ringing in my ears.

‘If the time comes, let's go together.'

'Europe or anywhere else'

Those deeply staring eyes kept appearing before my eyes.

'I will also get better as time goes on.'

Kirana closed her eyes again, trying to erase the scene that kept coming to her mind, and prayed.

I hope this inexplicable void will soon disappear. The pain I felt deep down in my heart... … …… … I hope it's okay.

****

Reynand got out of the car, opened the front door, and got in. A woman who was sweeping the garden said with a shocked face looking at her appearance.

"Directors. What is happening ..."

Reynand walked forward without a word with a stern face. He quickly approached the front door and opened the door.

The housekeeper greeted him and said,

"Welcome to the Director."

“Where is the Chair?”

“The chairman is in the workspace right now. What do you want to drink?"

Reynand went straight to the study. When he opened the door of the study room and entered, I saw the Chairman sitting at the table and reading the documents.

The moment Reynand appeared, the Chairman glanced at her, then lowered his gaze to the document and said.

“I heard you went on a business trip, but you came back quickly.”

Reynand came to him and asked.

“Where is Kirana?”

"People will hear it. Lower your voice."

After Reynand learns that Kirana is missing, she calls Ameera first. When asked about Kirana's whereabouts, Ameera kept asking what she meant. His reaction was like he knew nothing. The people who most wanted to divorce Kirana were Ameera and the Chief.

Reynand thought Kirana's departure had something to do with the two men. If Ameera doesn't know anything, maybe the Chairman knows something.

“Do you know where Kirana is now?”

Reynand raised her voice and asked.

“What did you say to Kirana?”

“I didn't say anything.”

The chairman replied calmly and only read the documents. Reynand looked frustrated and took a deep breath.

“Hah, Just tell me where Kirana went.”

“So you mean Kirana just disappeared without a word?"

Reynand who was crying, asked in a high tone.

"Why are you like this? For what reason would you do something like that?"

“Why are you asking me that?”

The chief looked at him, answering in a deep voice.

“You who even lives with him just don't know it.”

He clicked his tongue with a disapproving expression.

“I guess she left because she had a reason to leave. You're the one who should know the reason, and not me."

The chairman clicked his tongue once more and looked down at the documents again.

Looking at the Chairman like that, Reynand felt perplexed. Looks like the chairman didn't lie.

'Then what about Kirana....'

As his mind went blank, the Chief lifted his glasses and said.

"If Kirana doesn't make up her mind first, I'll tell her to leave. If I do, it'll end more pathetic."

"......"

"He is not a child who is not interested in performing, so he definitely left after carefully considering what life is better for him.”

The chairman who continued to speak solemnly, looked at Reynand.

“There is no need to pity the person who goes of his own accord. Now focus on your work."

His eyes suddenly became sharper and shone sharp.

“I can't wait too long. I have no intention of seeing him as a grandson.”

"......"

“Make sure you get your work done quickly.”

Even without having to raise his voice, Reynand could feel a deep determination.

Reynand opened her mouth in a cold atmosphere.

"NO"

"......"

“It can't end like this.”

Reynand looked at him with resolute eyes and said.

“I'll find Kirana again.”

"......"

“If anything gets in the way, I won't stay silent.“

A resolute voice turned to the Chairman.

“So, never think to interfere in any way.”

Reynand lowered her head for a while and then walked out. The chief, who was left alone, put down his paper and looked out the window. The wind was getting colder a few days ago, shaking the bare branches of the tree.

Where are you on this cold day? … … … .

The chairman doesn't even know where Kirana's going. But he was confident that he would do well wherever he went.

Kirana is a mature and strong child. At the same time, I noticed He was a child with a good conscience. Although he knew that his presence would not help Reynand, he was not the kind of person who stubbornly endured it. So when she finds out that Kirana is having a hard time getting pregnant, she lets go first even though Reynand doesn't push her.

I expected that to happen. It is a pity to lose him because I know that he is a kind and sincere person. But in the end, that honest and subtle personality can be a weakness and a disadvantage for Reynand.

Kirana is not the right person to start this family. It was a place where strong people could survive. There are times when I hope the performance will change. But now that Sarah died, it seemed like there was nothing left in her. I can't keep playing a precarious performance next to Reynand.

Kirana's not helping Reynand. There will come a time when Reynand is also aware of this fact. So, Kirana's departure was the right thing, and it should be considered a fortune.

"......"

The head massaged his temple while listening to the sound of the wind getting louder. A deep breath came out of his mouth.

****

Ding dong's.

The doorbell rang, and the silver front door opened.

The ones who opened the front door and came out were Asih and Doni. The two people turned their backs when they saw the person facing them. The guest who came to visit them late at night was none other than Reynand.

“Why did Director Steve come here at this hour?”

Asih asked with a surprised expression. The reason Reynand came to this house after marriage was for a short visit during the holidays.

They think there must be a big reason why Reynand suddenly came to see them because he was always busy.

"Good night, Mr. Kester. Sorry to visit you late at night. I'm sorry."

Reynand greeted politely first, and asked with a serious face.

“Sorry.....Did Kirana come here?”

"Kirana hasn't come here since Hari Raya.”

"Or did he ever call or tell you where he was going?'

They both shook their heads and said that such a thing did not happen.

Reynand's face was filled with regret.

'You're not even here.'

Even if she doesn't come here, I think she'll contact her family about where she's going. However, looking at the faces of Grandma and Master Kester, it seemed like they did not even know that Kirana had disappeared, let alone contact them.

From the results of CCTV checking the supermarket where Kirana is missing, she leaves, taking a taxi that she had called before in front of the Supermarket.

A taxi gets off in a neighborhood far from the supermarket, and the taxi driver says that Kirana went elsewhere in an unfamiliar car.

Then where did it go?

Asih asked while looking at Reynand's frustrated face.

"Why is that? Did something happen?"

"Actually, I haven't been able to contact her since Kirana left home. I stopped by to ask if you knew anything."

His mouth opened and the frown on his face grew worse.

"Kirana.... .. Did she leave home?”
