The Wife Who Escaped
The only option

“Until you return with me.”

Kirana's eyes widened slightly at Reynand's reply, but then turned cold again. He breathed deeply.

I thought I clearly conveyed my feelings to Reynand, but she seemed to think she still had a chance to return.

What can I say so that he can get back to his old self?

How can I convince him to let me go?

“Rey....." Call Kirana by looking at Reynand gently.

Kirana's eyes became more serious than before. He continued, hoping that Reynand would accept his wish this time.

“I like to stay here.”

"......"

“When I stay at your house, it is difficult and painful to live every day. I was out of breath every time Mama called, and when my unwanted period started, I could only sigh."

Reynand feels lonely even when they are together, and feels empty without her.

“My body is now tired compared to it used to be, but my mind is much stronger."

Here, I feel very comfortable. No one scolded me or let out a disappointed sigh. No one ignored me because my family standards were low, and nothing went unanswered when I called them.

Kirana looked at him with clear eyes and said.

“Rey... I feel like I can finally breathe a little better and hold on.”

"......"

“I don't want to live as an incompetent daughter-in-law or an incompetent wife anymore.”

Eyes filled with earnestness became wet.

“This allows me to have a new life. It was a sincere and heartfelt request."

"Forgive me too and meet someone much better than me. And live a better life by achieving all the goals you want.”

"You can do it."

It's not a request just for me. Even if I take myself in, all that remains in the end is frustration. Reynand who also felt wise to start a new one

“Please let me go now.”

The voices of despair were scattered.

“I'll ask you this.”

Reynand looked into her wet eyes. He read the earnestness in those eyes and his heart ached. But he could not grant her request.

“Sorry, but I don't think I can grant that request.”Reynand said while looking at him deeply.

"......"

“I can finally breathe now.”

When there was no Kirana it was a series of frustrations and suffering. Eating is not eating, and sleeping is not sleeping. I could do nothing, and there was no point in doing anything.

I could barely get through every day without him. I was so crazy that I didn't know how to spend the day. It is terrible that tomorrow will come, and it is painful to open my eyes every day.

Ever since I saw Kirana's face again, everything changed. As if magically, things were starting to get better. My heart is no longer tight and I can breathe well. I can eat right and feel full even without eating.

I can't wait for tomorrow to come so I can see his face again. After that, everything was fine, It's okay for Kirana to look at me coldly, and it's okay to ignore me, It's okay to treat her like a madman. Just seeing it in front of me makes me alive.

“If you stay here, I have no choice but to stay here.”

Company, family, employees.although there are many options, I can not choose it.

“Because the only option I can choose is you Kirana.” Reynand who was nothing in the world without Kirana, just stared at her flat with deeper eyes.

“I can't let go of you.”

Kirana asks him to let her go, but Reynand is just getting started.

“I will do anything to get your heart back.”

"......"

“I don't care though I have to give up everything I have.”

It doesn't matter if the future isn't certain.

I don't care if I lose the goal I've dreamed of since I was young.

“Right now, you are everything to me.”

For me now, Kirana is my life goal, my future, and my dream.

“So from now on, I will do my best.”

Reynand's voice sounded.

“I'll catch you.”

* * *

"What... ..”

Morning time. Arriving at the meeting place, Kirana heard the guide standing beside her muttering.

“The person is here again.”

Reynand is where her eyes are directed. He was sitting casually among the guests gathered at the meeting place while reading something.

Kirana didn't even look at him, as if she wasn't at all surprised by his appearance, and just focused on her work in silence.

“Why does that person keep signing up for the same tour?”

He mumbled as if he did not understand.

It's only natural that he doesn't understand.

After Reynand came to Rome, she regularly participated in all tours involving Kirana. Seeing her like that, Kirana had already given up on persuading him.

To be honest, at first I thought it would be like that. I thought he would last at most four or five days. I'm sure he won't be able to last a few days because of work at work. Because he is the one who treats the work of the company

However, contrary to Kirana's expectations, Reynand had already appeared for a week.

One day, I watched Kirana in silence throughout the tour, and the other day, I tried to talk to Kirana but was ignored.

Someday, I will buy something like a delicious dessert and give it to them, he said, and I would buy everyone's share because I knew they wouldn't accept it if I gave it to them alone.

When a man who looks fine in the eyes of anyone, or rather has a very cool appearance and neat clothes, attends a tour on an ordinary day, he is, rumors began to spread among the guides.

“I don't know what he's doing.”

No one seems to think that Reynand is the director of SF Group. That's because the third generation of the conglomerate family won't tour like this on a typical day.

“He's a guide from another company right?”

Listening to the muttering of the guide, Kirana just looked at her schedule.

****

The next tour was held in Positano, a coastal town in southern Italy.

While the tour guests were enjoying their free time, Kirana was sitting around in a cafe she frequented. The terrace he was sitting on had a clear view of the beach if he looked to the side.

Wherever you enter the village cafe, the view is beautiful.

Kirana took out a book from her bag. It was an art history book that Mark lent him a few days ago.

Kirana opened the book from the page she stopped yesterday and started reading again. The cool spring breeze blew from time to time, causing Kirana's hair to fall apart. Kirana flicked her messy hair and read a book.

As he concentrated for a while, something was placed next to the book. Kirana's eyes turned to a square plate placed next to the book. It contains tiramisu with strawberry topping.

"......"

Kirana looked over and looked to the side. There, Reynand was seen naturally pulling up a chair and sitting down.

After drinking the Americano in his hand, Reynand saw from afar a familiar sight.

“No matter how many times I see this place, it still amazing.”

The average person will take a vacation at all or twice in his or her lifetime. Reynand has toured for the third time.

Kirana looked down again and saw the book. After Reynand saw the tiramisu, she spoke to Kirana.

“Why don't you eat?”

"......"

“Do you not like this?”

In fact, Tiramisu is Michelle's favorite dessert not her. Without realizing it, Reynand would bring tiramisu like this every time he toured.

“No matter how much I like it, I'm sick of eating it like this every day.” Kirana said while still paying attention to the book.

Reynand placed her chin on one hand and looked at Kirana intently.

“I don't..”.

His soft voice was carried by the wind.

“It's okay to eat what you like every day.”

"......"

“I never get tired of seeing it like this every day.”

The side of his face that caught his attention became hot. Kirana assumed the cause of her face becoming hot was due to the tremendous blazing sun.

Reynand took out something from her jacket towards Kirana who was still looking at the book. And then handed it to Kirana.

"Read."

What he handed over was a long envelope. Kirana narrowed her one eye.

"What's this?"

“It's kind of a memorandum.”

Kirana took out the paper inside the envelope and unfolded it.

kirana (hereinafter referred to as 'A') proposes the following as a condition for continuing married life with Reynand (hereinafter referred to as 'B'), and if this is violated, Party B will compensate. all claims made by Party A.

When Kirana made a puzzled expression, Reynand explained the contents of the paper.

“Write what you want as a condition of continuing the marriage."

"......"

“I can let you not see your family's face again, and I can let you learn as much as you want.”

Reynand continued to speak with an expression

serious.

"Write whatever you want to ask for. If you violate my request, then I will do whatever you want. I can give you all my assets and all my shares."
