Trapped On The Bride's Night
22. The same room

Today Aura was allowed to go home and settle back in her apartment.

Mama Yara and Papa Sky who have begun to be relieved because Aura has a husband who can take care of her have planned their return to Indonesia.

"Ma, why the hell should I go home so soon. Aura still hurts, still wants Mama to be here with Aura." Aura whines spoiled to the Mama.

"Same Mama Papa is also still there to be taken care of in Indonesia, dear. It's impossible to stay here." Yara stroked the black hair of her daughter. "But you already have Rayyan. He'll keep you here" he continued, trying to calm Aura down.

"I'm talking about him, Ma." Aura protested the words of her mother.

"Yes, did you forget that Rayyan is already your husband? Do you need to keep reminding me?" Mama Yara laughed at the end of her sentence.

Aura throttled. It was always the reason her mother gave her that way. Yes, although in reality it is, but still Aura has not been able to accept all of this with all her heart.

"But, Aura and her married without letters. That's not legal. He's not Aura's husband."

"Indeed, it is not yet legal in the state but religiously you are husband and wife. I just want to do it." Mama Yara glanced, teasing the princess, while Aura threw her breath out violently.

"... anyways, ntar his letters will also be taken care of. So, don't think about continuing to fight your husband, sin you know." Again Mama Yara reminded Aura of this. However, Aura's nature has become Rayyan's wife so she must obey her husband.

"Don't know. Dizziness. Getting dizzy." The aura grumbled.

Mama Yara is always amused to see Aura's behavior, but has grown up but always acts childish in front of her. Naturally, Aura is the only daughter, even her behavior is sometimes more spoiled than Rion who incidentally is the youngest child.

"Lusa Mama has come home, but before mama comes home, mama wants to see you as Rayyan peace first yes. Don't be like Tom and Jerry."

"He's the one who's Jerry the mouse."

"That means you're Tom, right? The cat?" Mama Yara laughed at her daughter.

"Well, ah!!!" Aura covered her face with both hands.

Mama Yara still chuckles in response to the absurd attitude of the girl who has become a wife but does not want to admit it.

Mama Yara came out from the room that Aura was in. He passed Rayyan by the door.

"Where's the fuck, Ray?"

"Near the fireplace, Ma."

"Oh, okay. Mama Nyusulin Papa's there. You're the Aura inside ya."

"But, Ma?" Rayyan was afraid that Aura would get angry if she entered the girl's room. He seemed hesitant.

"Ray, that aura must melt his heart. He is stubborn, selfish and sometimes unpredictable. But you're her husband, right? So, your job should be to dilute him. If you doubt yourself, when will the heart of Aura melt."

Rayyan silently listened to the advice of the in-laws.

"Mama sure you can. Mama will also continue to encourage Aura to be able to accept you. So, you don't give up. Must remain optimistic that someday Aura can open your heart to you."

"Yes, Ma." This time Rayyan said.

Mama Yara smiled warmly. Pat Rayyan's shoulder later.

"As long as Mama is still here maybe Mama can help you make it close to Aura. But tomorrow Mama is back in Indonesia. You need to be better prepared."

Rayyan nodded. "I will not give up on Aura, Ma," he said sincerely and earnestly.

"good. Mama knows you are a reliable and strong person. Make Aura something that you should strive for. Mama hopes you can make Aura come back like it used to be. Cheerful and not keep moody."

"Aamiinu. Hopefully I can make it happen, Ma."

Rayyan also wanted to see the jolly Aura like before. At least, that was the original attitude of Aura when Rayyan heard it from Bi Dima. The aura starts to change since the abuse Sandy did to him. From then on, Aura almost never seemed happy. Even if he smiled and threw a laugh, it was just to make him look okay.

Rayyan also entered the room that Aura occupied. There he and Aura looked at each other. That look of the eyes managed to make Aura make a sound.

"I want to rest."

Aura gawked, yet to fully understand Rayyan's ambiguous speech. What does rest mean?

"What break do you mean? It's my room, if you want a break out there, if not in the guest room!" murmur Aura.

"You just finished the operation. Why the hell do I have to say that? It's not good to say that out loud. Speaking slowly, your head will get dizzy." Still Rayyan worried about the condition of Aura who had said in a high tone to him.

"Yes, that's why, if you don't want me to talk out loud, you go out there. Don't rest in my room!"

"You forgot we were married? So where you sleep, there I sleep, Ra. Then in the guest room there was Mama and Papa. This apartment has only two rooms."

Aura snorted. Traffic ideas in his head. He threw a pillow and bolted towards Rayyan.

"Sleep on the sofa. Don't expect you to be the same as me!"

Rayyan took a long breath. Rather than him debating Aura and going into a fight it was better for him to relented. After all he was disinclined if Aura's parents heard their commotion.

"I slept on the couch."

Aura only answered Rayyan with a short mutter. He even threw his gaze in the other direction.

Rayyan began to arrange pillows on the sofa and lay there playing with her phone. He saw a message that had just come in and apparently it contained a photo of the girl he wanted to investigate.

The girl who was considered Rayyan to be the subject of the alias mastermind on that fateful night. The girl who asked Rayyan to go to the pharmacy for a headache.

Ah, finally the background of the girl was successfully investigated by Mr. Deri, thought Rayyan.

Rayyan also read a glimpse of the girl's profile which has also been sent by Mr. Deri to him.

Rayyan let out a long sigh after knowing who the figure of the girl was.

While Aura was secretly watching Rayyan who looked seriously at her phone. Aura tried to close her eyes but somehow it felt difficult. He tries to fall asleep quickly but Rayyan's presence there is enough to make him a little disturbed.

Now Rayyan is seen putting the phone next to her ear, looking like she wants to contact someone.

"Ask him, what's his purpose in doing that?" Although Rayyan had guessed the purpose of the girl trapping him and Aura that night, but Rayyan still wanted to know the answer from the girl's mouth.

"And please record the conversation. After that, send it to me" Rayyan said to Mr. Deri whom she contacted.

Rayyan heard Mr. Deri's words there, then just cut off his phone call.

Aura who heard Rayyan's conversation, of course, felt confused especially what she heard was only Rayyan's voice, and she could not hear Rayyan's interlocutor saying what was across there.

"Why not sleep?" Rayyan's voice reprimanded Aura who still seemed to open her eyes.

"Where can you sleep, your people are noisy!"

"Sorry, I didn't mean to bother you. Now go to sleep."

Aura cleared a glance.

"Want a drink?" Rayyan asked while offering. Who knows Aura would accept her offer.

Aura shook her head, then went inside her blanket without leaving any part of her body for Rayyan to look at.

Rayyan smiled slightly looking at Aura's behavior. Then he lay down to rest his body.

"It's all just beginning, Ra. I won't give up as hard as you can."

Rayyan smiled as she began to close her eyes on the sofa. Although she could not sleep beside Aura, being in the same room with the woman had made her happy.
