The Wife Who Escaped
My wife

Kirana looked at Reynand with trembling eyes. Everything stopped, as if time had stopped. The noise around him disappeared and no one was in sight except him.

How could?How did he get here...

Instead of saying the words I wanted to ask, only a heavy sigh came out of my mouth.

“It's been a long time since I haven't seen you, but it seems like you're not happy to see me.” Reynand said to Kirana who could neither speak nor move.

Deep black eyes stared at Kirana.

I can't read his eyes. It seems happy, but it also looks sad. He looked angry and sad at times.

Kirana still could not help her heart from beating fast. He calmed down and opened his mouth.

“Did you come all the way here to see me?”

I hope not. I wish he had come here just to work and meet each other by chance.

“Then you came all the way here to have fun?” Reynand said with a small laugh.

“How.... How did you get here…………?"

My mouth froze and no words came out. I thought Reynand would never come to see me . Even if we met, I never thought we would meet so soon. I hid it so well that he couldn't find me, but how could....

"I was looking for you all over Austria. But I couldn't find you. After that, there's no record of you getting on a plane, so I thought you were in Germany, so I searched Germany, then Switzerland, then Paris, wherever you went. I searched everywhere.”

"......"

“Then I learned that you have just submitted the registration documents for the nationally recognized exams of Italy, and I also learned that you work in the guiding company here.”

After hearing her story, Kirana spoke as if she finally knew the whole situation.

“Then customers who register under the name James......?"

"That's right. I signed up when I came here.”

Just yesterday Reynand found out which company Kirana worked for as a guide. Reynand headed straight to the airport afterwards and boarded the fastest flight to Italy.

I came here without giving any explanation to my family. I came all the way to this faraway place with only one purpose. And finally, I faced that goal.

The wife I miss so much. I finally

I can see his face.

“I think I'll find you in a week's time, but I didn't know it would take this long.”

After Kirana disappeared, she realized how incompetent she was. He's a fool who doesn't know where his wife went.

Reynand focused his gaze on the surrounding scenery for a moment.

“You are in a good place.”

It was a city I thought would be a great place to visit someday. It is a beautiful city with historic sites everywhere you go, and a city full of art and romance. But I can't leave Kirana alone here anymore.

“You have enough sightseeing in three months.”

This was enough for him to rest. Even if there is no alternative.

A day here feels like a year to me. If I had to wait again it would be impossible.

Reynand's eyes were filled with affection as she looked at Kirana.

“Kirana.”

I could not think of the things I wanted to say when I met him. I don't want to ask him why he left me or why he never called me and I don't want to tell him how hard and painful it has been. No need for big words or sweet words. There's only one thing I want from Kirana right now.

“Come back now.”

A soft voice carried by the wind.

Kirana's eyes shook violently.

Reynand actually came all the way here to pick me up. I don't believe it, but it's reality and I have to break this reality.

Kirana gently bit her lips and said.

"I don't want to. This is a place I rarely leave. There is no reason to go back. I won't be back.”

"......"

"This is not the answer I suddenly said. I don't want to go back there anymore."

Kiran tried to keep her eyes trembling here and there at him.

“I have no desire to stay with you again.”

Reynand's eyes drowned at his words. Kirana paused for a moment at that painful-looking expression. However, he returned to speaking firmly.

“Even if they force you to take me, in the end I will go again.”

"......."

“So, come back.”

Kirana looked at him more clearly.

“Go back and live your life.”

Reynand lived her life, and I lived my life. This is a good choice for both sides.

However, after hearing Kirana's words, Kirana burst into laughter. Reynand's eyes that had been smiling bitterly turned bitterly sweet.

“If I can live my life, I won't come here.”

"......"

“I came because I can't live like that.”

The voice he spoke slowly became thicker.

"Since you disappeared, I haven't been able to understand anything. I was awake all night for a few days, I could not work, could not eat, and could not sleep.”

There was despair in that rising voice.

“Life doesn't feel like life. Really, every day feels painful and messy. That's why I came here after looking for you like crazy."

After all that hard work, I finally dealt with it and now I can't wait to get back.

Repeating that lonely and horrible life again... … … … … It's absolutely impossible.

Reynand looked at Kirana with sharp eyes and said,

“You may have forgotten me.”

"......"

“For me, Kirana is still my wife."

I never thought of anyone else. Even when I heard that having a child was difficult, even when she suddenly disappeared and I never heard from her, there was only one person I wanted to keep by my side.

“I came here to pick up my wife.”

Reynand's voice sounded.

“I can't go back without you.”

Kirana's pupils started to tremble again. His persistence was firm and firm. Looks like he's not the Reynand he knows.

I don't understand why he said that and made such a facial expression. He never really loved me, and he wouldn't have benefited anything if he took me with him. So why... … … … …

At that moment, Kirana heard a voice sounding from somewhere.

“Kirana!”

Kirana looked over and looked to the side. Michelle was seen running towards him. Michelle who came to Kirana's side, sighed heavily and spoke.

“I can't call you and you don't come back so I'm worried, I came straight here quickly when I have free time.”

"Ah. Excuse me. I don't know because my phone is in silent.” mode

After seeing Kirana's expression different from usual, Michelle saw Reynand standing nearby. He asked while taking a quick look.

"What...had happened?"

"Oh no. There's nothing."

Kirana spoke with her back to Reynand.

“People named James decided not to participate.”

"OKay?"

"Let's hurry. We keep the guests waiting."

Kirana hurriedly walked forward while crossing Michelle's arms.

I walked away quickly, hoping Reynand didn't catch me. Holding tightly to my heart that kept pounding.

****

"Cyrane. What's going on?"

Kirana blinked and looked to the side. Michelle looked at him with slightly confused eyes.

"Hmm?"

"No. I feel like I've been in a daze for a while. Even now, you're still standing still in the kitchen."

“Ah... did I say that?”

Kirana smiled awkwardly.

"Did something happen? You look a little uncomfortable since the night tour..."

Kirana was silent for a moment. Even Michelle seemed to feel something strange about her.

After meeting Reynand, I couldn't concentrate well on work. My head became empty and my heart was pounding nonstop and I could not come to my senses after running away.

I don't want to tell Michelle about Reynand. When I tried to explain my relationship with Reynand, I didn't know where to start and how to talk, and it was clear that even though I did, it would only make people worry for no reason.

"Nothing happened. Don't worry."

This is a precious relationship I met when I started a new life. I hope Michelle wasn't involved with my past.

Kirana took a glass of warm water and walked towards the room.

"You've worked hard today. Good night." Kirana

“Iya. You have also worked hard . Sleep well.”

After seeing Michelle enter the room first, Kirana also entered her room.

After drinking a glass of warm water, he lay down on the bed. The accumulated fatigue came back in an instant. From the museum tour that starts in the morning to the night view tour, today the schedule is solid and there is no time to set the breath.

It was no wonder that Kirana instantly fell asleep, but she could not fall asleep. In Kirana's mind, there was someone she met a few hours ago. Only his face was shining.

'It's been a long time since I haven't seen you, but you don't seem happy to see me.'

To be honest, I still can't believe it. That Reynand came all the way here to find me. She even said that she lived a painful life after I left.

'Ever since you disappeared, I haven't been able to understand anything. I stayed up all night for a few days, I couldn't work, couldn't eat, and couldn't sleep.'

He said that life does not feel like life. Every word I say is filled with pain.

Kirana with a confused expression, shook her head.

NO. NOPE. Reynand is not that kind of person. When I got married, she was someone who never came to see me even though she was away from me for a few days. He was the one who made no phone calls even during a business trip that lasted more than 15 days.

He was not the type of person who felt like he would be depressed because there was no one else in his vast world. I should not have been affected by his words. He was a man with extraordinary eloquence. I must strengthen my heart so as not to waver.

Kirana closed her eyes.

I don't even think about him anymore. I'm going to sleep, promise myself that I will. But even when I closed my eyes, Reynand's shadow remained attached to my head as if it was stuck to my head.

‘For me, Kirana is still my wife.’

I can't forget the eyes that look at me and his unwavering voice.

'I can't go back without you.'

As her memory deepened, Kirana suddenly stood up. Then he took the remaining glass of water on the table and gulped it down.

After taking a deep breath and clearing his mind, he returned to lying on the bed.

The tour schedule is scheduled to start tomorrow morning as well. I should go to bed early.

Kirana closed her eyes and tried to sleep. He turned around a few times and seemed to be asleep, but his eyes immediately opened again. Today was the night I felt like I couldn't sleep at all.
