The Wife Who Escaped
You Don't Know?

Rachelle's low voice followed.

[Reynand..is he there now?]

"Ah yes."

[Finally........... Found her.]

Rachelle sighed softly.

[I received a call from my mom yesterday. Reynand hasn't worked for over a week and I don't know what to do.]

"......."

[I, even my family had thought that he would go to Europe to look for you. But the problem is that Reynand left everything and left. There were bad rumors circulating in the company, and I tried to contact my grandfather, but he didn't answer.]

I know without even looking at it that the atmosphere at home and also in the company, will be messy. There were many people around Reynand who believed in and relied on his abilities.

Reynand came here, left them all behind.

Thinking about the chaotic situation there, Kirana was confused.

“I'm sorry. I'm…"

[What does Kirana need to regret? Reynand became unruly... … … … … .].

Rachelle said as she clicked her tongue.

[I knew he was the type of guy who would somehow achieve something he wanted, but... … … … … . I really didn't expect him to go that far.]

Kirana who was silently listening to the story with a dark expression, opened her mouth.

“I also don't know Why Reynand is so stubborn?“

[.......]

"I don't know if he did it for me. It was difficult for him to have children, and it would only be detrimental rather than helpful. There's no point in taking me, so I don't know why he's acting this far.”

Taking me away would only prove once more that I was useless, and not just me but Reynand could have lost a lot of things. In the end, they will hate each other and end up in ruin.

I can't imagine the future at all. This is not a reality that can be achieved just by coming, Why… … … … … …

[It is impossible. ...].

"......"

[Cyrane.].

After a moment of silence, Rachelle spoke.

[You really... don't know?]

What do I not know?

Kirana listened to Rachelle's words.

[Why did Reynand leave his company and go there? Why would he live like a desperate man even for three months without you? … … … .].

"......"

[Really...do you still don't know?]

Kirana suddenly fell silent. I think all thoughts stop.

[But. It's almost impossible to know. I also didn't know that Reynand would turn out like that.]

Rachelle spoke as if she understood Kirana.

[I also thought Reynand would never be fixated on a woman. The man was a man who had not even a single eye to recognize since he was young. I can't imagine Reynand would love and love someone.]

Rachelle paused for a moment before continuing.

[I can't tell you because I'm afraid you'll be worried.. .... But the truth is, Reynand had a hard time when you left.].

Kirana still did not move and listened to Rachelle's words.

[I once persuaded her to stop looking for you, but she looked like she had lost everything.]

"......."

[Reynand has had a cold expression since she was born. This is the first time I've seen him wobbly. Even when Mama fainted and Papa died, she didn't even blink.]

Rachelle who reminisced about the past continued to speak in a calm voice.

[I think Reynand may have noticed it.]

"......"

[What kind of person is Kirana to him?]

"......."

[Kirana... ... .. .. She loves you very much.]

Kirana's frozen eyes were shaking. The hand that was holding tightly to the phone was also shaking.

Rachelle said, as if she could figure it out without seeing his expression.

[Sorry. Kirana.]

"......."

[Pretend not to know until the end... … … I can't do it. I feel a little sorry for my sister.].

Rachelle's voice continued full of regret.

[Since childhood, we have only learned how to dominate and lead someone, but no one has taught us how to care for and love someone.]

"......."

[For the first time, my sister knew the feeling of love, and she suffered and struggled like that... It's just...I can't just let it go.]

Rachelle spoke in a serious and affectionate tone.

[I'm not just saying this to Reynand. But are you going to live your whole life without knowing Reynand's feelings... I said this because I thought it would also be a pity.]

"......"

[At least I want to tell you that Reynand loves you very much.]

"......."

[Sorry. Kirana.]

Rachelle ended the call with a voice full of regret.

***

Kirana was sitting on the bed with a somewhat confused expression.

His unloaded suitcase was strewn all over the room, and his phone was still in his hands.

After finishing the phone call with Rachelle, Kirana could do nothing.

My mind became complicated and confused.

'[What kind of person Kirana is to her.]'

'[Kirana... she loves you very much.]'

You... ... .... ... .... Is it true that you love me?

That's something I've never heard of Reynand before. Even after spending two years at home together, he never once said he loved me, even after he came here to pick me up.

Kirana looked at her phone with a puzzled expression then put it down.

"NO. I'm not I'm wavering... … … … ."

I can't admit it. I live as his wife, not Rachelle's sister. Rachelle doesn't know anything. I know Reynand's feelings better. That can't be happening.

Kirana refused as if she was struggling. And then she started frantically packing her bags again. The luggage started to pile up in the bag.

Kirana opened the drawer, putting all her daily necessities and clothes into it. Kirana's hand, checking what was in the drawer, stopped at the bottom of the drawer.

He saw something under the pile of books. Kirana took out a square box from the deepest place.

Inside the box were the items Kirana had brought when she came from Jakarta. Among them, what caught Kirana's attention was the phone she used before coming here.

'[Actually, Reynand had a hard time as you left.]'

Thinking back on Rachelle's words, Kirana picked up her phone.

There was doubt in the hand that touched the phone.

He... is having trouble?

I don't know how hard that is. Because I don't understand that Reynand's having a hard time because of me.

The Reynand I knew wasn't weak enough to be destroyed because of me, and he was a man who didn't even have time for it.

Kirana looked at her phone intently, then slowly her hand grabbed the power button.

A phone I haven't turned on since I left home. When I pressed the power button, it went dark. Phone screen starts bright.

Kirana doesn't have a call record because her phone is turned off. However, the text message box is full of text that has been received so far.

Kirana saw the SMS that came around as she left the house.

«Where are you now?»

It was a text message from Reynand. Maybe that's when Julia reported that she disappeared.

«Why your phone is dead . Contact me immediately»

«I'll be home now. Contact me as soon as you see a message from me.»

It was a short message, but it felt deep. He looked quite shocked and saddened by his passing.

Kirana looked at the text messages coming from that day. It was all sent by Reynand.

«Where are you now?»

«How can you suddenly disappear like this?»

«I won't go, so tell me where you are.»

Every time she read the piles of messages one by one, Kirana's eyes shook even more intensely.

«A month. Everyone's looking for you.»

«Where are you? Kirana.»

«I won't be angry. And I won't ask anything....... ..... .... when you come back.».

As time went on, the tone in the text became increasingly sad. Those anxious texts continued unceasingly.

«Where are you?»

«I can't do anything without you.»

Kirana's eyes were fixed on the last remaining text message.

«Sorry Kirana. I was wrong.»

«Back lah»

The longing felt in the text touched Kirana's heart.

As tears flowed, Kirana could no longer read the text. Water drops fall on the phone screen.

Reynand sends me text messages every day. He misses me and looks for me every day. My heart hurts and I can't bear it. My heart was pounding and I felt pain.

I didn't think he was in so much pain and suffering. He's put himself this far... … … … .

That was when Kirana's eyes became wet.

'Tie...Mats...Mats...

Kirana looked out the window as the sound of water reached her ears. Rain drops that had stopped falling for a while during the day, came back down.

Kirana checked the time. It was almost 10 p.m.

'I'll wait.'

'Until you come'

The words Reynand said on the phone ringed in my ear. The night view tour starts at 7 p.m. Three hours have passed since the appointed time.

I'm sure he won't come....

Dark-faced Kirana looked out the window. The rain is getting heavier and it doesn't seem to be stopping anytime soon.

"......"

Kirana who had been staring out the window, finally got up from her seat. Then he took his coat and went straight out.

***

Kirana got out of the taxi and opened her umbrella.

Kirana could see the lighted Church of Santa Maria Maggiore in the distance. The fountain near it becomes a meeting place for night scenery.

As soon as Kirana came down, Kirana looked around, but she could barely see a single person. It's only natural that there's nothing because it rains late at night.

There's no way Reynand could have survived until now. There was a chance that he never came here from the beginning.

However, Kirana headed to the fountain through the rain. As she got closer to the fountain, Kirana's heart beat faster. Out of fear, he started to walk faster.

At the fountain where the beautiful statue was located, a red light flowed with the water. As she got closer to the light, Kirana stopped.

In the landscape drenched by raindrops, a familiar silhouette entered his eyes. Characteristics of slender, angular shoulders, and elongated, Its limbs are clearly visible even in the rain.

For three months, he hadn't forgotten me even a single day. He left everything behind and came here to look for me.

Reynand was standing there.
