The Wife Who Escaped
Memories

“I heard you rejected girls again this time?”

Ameera who came to the office, wasted no time in asking Reynand. Reynand sat at his desk and looked at the documents and replied calmly.

“Not that I refused, I just couldn't go because of work.”

“Is the job important at this time?” Ameera said with a frustrated expression.

“What are you doing like this? Did you forget what your Grandpa said, You should get married and give her a great-grandchild.”

Currently, it has been about a month since the Chairman urged everyone to get married after receiving the message that a child would be born that would change the fate of the family within four years.

For a month, Ameera tried to introduce Reynand to children of all kinds of prestigious families, but there was no progress whatsoever, Ameera even replaced Reynand's job.

There were many situations where Reynand was unable to attend most of the meetings due to work, and even if he was present, he would often finish the meeting within 10 minutes and return to work. What's more, Reynand's new blind date opponent is Arin. He is someone Ameera hopes to become her son-in-law, and she urges Reynand to do well. But today, after hearing that Arin had been rejected, Ameera was so angry that she came to Reynand's office.

“What you've gone mad for. How can you refuse a girl like Arin?”

For Reynand, he's not interested in whether he's Arin or anyone else, and that's no more important than work. The standard is the same for all women in the world.

Reynand's father, Daniel, had excellent work skills when he was alive. Although they are on the same side, their image is tarnished because of women's issues. Daniel is easily seduced and influenced by his emotions. Because he was unable to clearly establish and break off relationships, he left regrets and wounds on many women. And the greatest wound fell on Ameera.

Ameera, who once loved him, only had poison left and only lived with Reynand in mind. Daniel was not recognized throughout his life because of his problems with women, and was humiliated until the time of his death. That's because he died in an accident the day he was with his mistress.

His death brought disappointment and hatred, not sorrow. And that makes Reynand a colder person.

Reynand doesn't want to live a life like Daniel or Ameera. A father who loves many women, and a mother who loves her father, yet suffers betrayal and endless pain.

The reason they lead unhappy lives is because emotions take precedence over reason. Through these two people, Reynand learns that there is nothing more useful and dangerous in this world than the feeling of love.

Ever since Reynand decided not to live a life like theirs, Reynand had never felt deep feelings for any woman. No one can be a priority on the job, if he feels that it interferes with the job just a little, he will end the relationship without hesitation.

Reynand never said feelings of love to the opposite sex, and she would never say it. That's because he thinks when he falls in love with someone, then his life can be ruined like Daniel or Ameera. So he didn't want to get married quickly.

Even so, I want him a person like me to be a cold-hearted person who only sees the conditions. Obviously if I met an emotional and demanding woman, my life would be exhausting. Unfortunately, the person I met so far had a face that made me fall in love since I first saw her.

He couldn't take his eyes off me and would blush every time he said something. There were women who kept chatting throughout the confrontation. It's boring and annoying.

How can I live with a woman who bored me after only 10 minutes of meeting her every day?

Among the women I met, none of them thought about the future. Even this meeting was just a waste of time, and at the point I didn't have a good meeting.

In that case, I'd like the chairman to tell me which family you should marry I'm very busy, but I don't know why the chairman asked me to choose him myself.

“His grandfather founded FreshFoods, his mother was the eldest daughter of KS Group, and his maternal uncle was the director of a hospital. Hard to find a child with good education and good family.” Ameera said with a look of no understanding at all.

He walked over to Reynand, who was still looking at the documents.

“Do not do that, I will schedule your meeting with Arin once again. So let's see."

Reynand did not respond and simply continued to look at the documents. From the beginning, it seemed like he had not listened to Ameera at all.

“Is it because you don't like her face?”

Ameera felt frustrated and pulled something out of her bag. All he brought was a document envelope, and he took something from that envelope and passed it on to Reynand's document. It was a piece of paper with a photo of the person they had chosen as Reynand's wife and brief personal information written on it.

“Then you yourself chose here."

Reynand furrowed her brows as she looked at the photos filled with documents.

"Meeting will begin soon. I'm busy, so next time...."

At that moment, Reynand's eyes were focused on a photo. In the photo, there is a woman with brownish hair and a slim white face. His eyebrows stretched neatly under a round forehead, clear dark brown eyes, and tightly closed red lips. That face looks familiar to Reynand. The face that flashed through his mind every time it rained. Reynand's eyes turned to the words written next to the photo.

[Kirana Ferdinand]

She was a girl at the time.

****

Reynand got out of the car and looked at the hotel building in front of him.

He saw the cafe on the first floor which became the meeting place has a window made of glass so that the interior looks soft.

Kirana was sitting by the window. I can't see his face very well. However, it felt like his shoulders were drooping.

The decision to meet with Kirana was made a week ago, which is when Ameera took a photo of Kirana from the office.

It's a bit embarrassing and even funny that a girl I saw 4 years ago is on my matchmaking list. And after knowing her age, I started to wonder about her.

Twenty-two-year-old Kirana, it was too early for the boy to get married. Why did he decide to get married at such a young age?

Until then, I had no intention of marrying Kirana. I just felt a little curious and just wanted to see his face again.

"Hello. nice to meet you."

“I know this is not the first time we met.”

Kirana looked at him with her eyes wide open.

His eyes are large and dark brown. I always remember these eyes, but Kirana doesn't seem to remember me at all.

Reynand sat facing Kirana at the rectangular table. Kirana's face was fully visible.

The atmosphere I saw after 4 years was a little different. Previously, she only looked beautiful, but now she has the impression of being mature and feminine. Instead of a shampoo scent, there was only a faint perfume scent, and the line from chin to shoulder was thin and flowing.At the moment when I looked deeply at Kirana's changing appearance, he spoke first.

“I am 22 years old, and I am studying at xxx University. My major is business administration, and I'm interested in art history, so I majored … … … … ."

“It looks like Mr. Kester is in a hurry. Take a princess who hasn't even graduated from college to a meeting."

Kirana's face turned slightly red hearing those words. I also don't know why to say this, I didn't mean to harass you. I said it because I was angry.

The father who sent his 22-year-old daughter to the wedding market, but the daughter who accepted it for what it was was was also a foolish statement.

Kirana, who was so embarrassed that I thought she would not be able to say anything, immediately straightened her back and looked at me.

"I don't think I'm young. Besides, I don't think age matters when it comes to getting married."

His face-to-face attitude was quite confident.

“Then what is important?”

"The future." Kirana answered the question coldly.

"......"

“I think the most important thing is what kind of future can be promised and guaranteed by the couple.”

I know what Kirana wants in the future. A father who has difficulty running his company. A mother who has not woken up in the hospital for several years. I felt like I knew it clearly only from the two things I received from the secretary.

"Is it not important who promises and guarantees the future?"

"......."

“Can you marry someone you don't like?”

The question is whether idiots will be okay as long as it guarantees the future. In addition, there is also a subtle question of whether a workaholic with a dirty personality can survive.

“If the terms are clear, even a loveless marriage is acceptable. I don't care." Kirana answered the question without hesitation.

Highlight Kirana's eyes were very deep and clear. At that moment, complicated feelings came to my mind. As for her marriage philosophy, it doesn't matter if the marriage is without anyone as long as the conditions are right.

No, I think marriage should be conditional. When emotions seep into a marriage, a bad marriage happens. It was a belief I realized as a child when I watched my mother suffer because of my father.

Although Kirana had similar thoughts to mine, there was no reason to marry her. There are so many things I can give to Kirana.

On the other hand, I don't need what I can gain from it. Because I can give it to others too. Is there a need to get married without much benefit? there aren't. The answer is clear and certain. All I had to do was say hello politely as I always did and then leave.

After all, Kirana will meet and marry someone who meets the criteria. Even though he was much older than me, even though he had a personality that was dirtier than me, even though he was more workaholic than me, even though he was not in love at all... If his condition was clear, he would not hesitate to get married.

Ever since that thought popped into my head, I started acting strange.

Reynand looked at Kirana's face.

That rainy night, the wet face that was staring at me overlapped and made my head dizzy. Just get up from here.

All I have to do is get out. As I passed him walking in the rain, as I passed his trembling little body and cried....

Even now, I just have to pass by, but my body is not listening. And my mind began to look for reasons why I should marry her. I looked for and found excuses not to go through it. There was only one reason why I finally found it.

Since she was a calm and rational woman, married life would be easy. Kirana seems to be continuing her married life quietly and peacefully as long as the necessary conditions are met. I don't think I'm going to get involved in my work or get involved in any unnecessary emotional fights. It doesn't seem like a big deal, but for me it's a very important factor.

Reynand doesn't want her marriage to interfere with her company's work in the slightest. Even after marriage, she wants to keep devoting all her time to work as she does now.

Kirana will help her achieve the married life she wants. Because he'll give Kirana everything she wants. Seeing his unwavering eyes made Reynand more confident.

“I don't have much time, so we just get to the heart of the matter."

“I will guarantee the future you want.”

So, all he had to do was show the future he wanted.

I read the power in Kirana's unwavering eyes. I think it's possible for him. I believe that she will be different from other women. What kind of future will those poor beliefs and certainties bring.....?

At that time, I thought this marriage was not wrong.
