Trapped On The Bride's Night
35. Commemorative

From the day that Aura said their respective liberties to them, Rayyan became even more reserved. He rarely asked Aura, making the relationship stuck without any progress.

Rayyan also came out of the apartment more often, Aura did not know where the man went and he never asked.

Nevertheless, Rayyan still do his daily work in the Apartment such as making breakfast for Aura and filling the contents of the refrigerator when it feels empty.

"Go again?"

Aura's question this time made Rayyan turn her head, they rarely engaged in conversation again, as well as the relationship ran jang which he said they could do anytime as needed, as needed, in fact, it never happened again after the last morning and this was a week from that day.

"Yes," Rayyan replied briefly. To be honest he was glad Aura greeted him and asked.

"Oh, great. I'm going to go too."

Rayyan responded to Aura's words with a small demeanor.

Rayyan almost touched the door knob before finally turning back to say something to Aura. Actually this he had wanted to say from yesterday, but considering he did not want to damage the mood of Aura, maybe now is the most appropriate moment when Aura greeted him first.

"Ra, I just want to remember you something. Even if you say we're still free from each other, never forget our marital status. I think you must understand the limits of a wife. So even if you leave today, be careful and don't go with another man alone."

Aura did not reply, she looked at the television with a straight gaze without complaining at the husband.

Rayyan who saw that, finally chose to lift her legs then completely passed away.

Aura relaxed his shoulders after Rayyan's departure, Rayyan's words were quite permeated. After all, Aura was indeed impossible to go alone with the opposite sex. He had always avoided it long ago even when his status was unmarried, because Aura was traumatized by the behavior of men. Unbelievable.

In her life, Aura had only ever gone alone with Jeno. It was only once and because he had considered Jeno close to him when they were almost married at that time.

Speaking of Jeno, how is she? I don't know why Aura remembered the man. Surely Jeno is looking for her existence, thankfully Aura never has an excess of feeling for Jeno so she does not need to feel lost. There is only guilt because they are not married. That's all it is.

"Where are you, Aura?"

Apparently Aura got a call from Wilow.

"I'm in the Apartment. What's up?"

"Me, Ghea and Sylvia want to hangout, do you want to come?"

"Of course."

Actually, Aura did not really want to leave like she had said to Rayyan earlier. That was just the original answer because he was upset to see Rayyan who recently often went out of the house. Why should he be upset about it?

However, Wilow's invitation can make Aura realize his words earlier, he will really go out and go with his female friends.

"Well, I'll pick you up in an hour" Wilow said.

"Okay."

Aura immediately prepared with spirit. He will gather with his friends. Ladies time, that's what Aura's about.

After being ready with his performance, Wilow actually picked up Aura in his Apartment.

"Let's go!"

"Where are we going?" ask Aura.

"Releasing load. Comeon!"

Aura immediately followed Wilow who pulled his hand swiftly. They also pick up Ghea and Sylvia at their respective residences.

"Hi gurls's. Let's go!"

Apparently their destination was a mall that was the largest in the city.

"You want to go shopping?"

"Yes, we just got paid. You and Sylvia also just received the first salary, right? Let's shop!"

Aura agreed and started choosing some suitable clothes. He does not want to spend his salary just like that because he still has a lot of needs.

After shopping, they had lunch at a nearby cafe, then continued another trip to a karaoke place.

There, Aura only saw Sylvia, Ghea and Wilow become amateur singers, while herself could not do that. Several times Aura laughed with her friends, it was a long time ago not after this.

Wilow and Sylvia urge Aura to sing along, saying they can let go of fatigue and throw away stressful thoughts. Aura finally sang along and swayed with them. It turned out that it was engrossed as well and really made her forget her burden.

"It looks like it's almost dark, I have to go home," said Aura wanting to end her sightseeing session today.

"Later first. Are you afraid of being scolded by your brother?" Wilow.

Aura remembered Rayyan. The man had no news at all. Is Rayyan back in the apartment? Or just not yet?

"Does Aura have a sister?" ask Sylvia.

"Yes, his older brother is a handsome mature man" Wilow said.

Sylvia and Ghea were immediately interested to hear that, they were also single girls.

"Come on! Sometimes we can take your sister too, we'll go out and hang out with her."

Aura rolled her eyeballs with a puff. "My brother has no interest in joining girls like you. He doesn't have time for that."

"He's handsome" said Wilow with sparkling eyes.

"It's normal!" sangkal Aura's.

"Ah, did you tell her about the blind date I offered?" Wilow raised both eyebrows in front of Aura.

Aura hissing. "He didn't want to" he said lying. Of course Aura never told Rayyan about the offer Wilow gave her.

"Ah, why? Am I less attractive to him?" Wilow looked grumbled with a disappointed face.

"Is her brother that handsome?" timpal Sylvia later.

"Ah, come on, don't discuss him. You better continue singing. I'm going home." Aura avoided this discussion.

"Let me take you!" said Wilow, but Aura did not want to disturb the preoccupation of his friends who still want to karaoke.

"Here you go, I can take a taxi home. You guys just keep having fun." Aura said solemnly, after all she was lost because her three female friends were enthusiastic about discussing Rayyan and seemed so interested. I don't know why Aura doesn't like that.

Aura walked briefly to the stop, he would take a taxi from there, but he had not gotten it until the spatter began to appear to wet the road.

Aura checked her phone to see the schedule of the electric train that is still operating at that hour, maybe she will just ride the transportation so quickly until before the rain gets heavier. Unfortunately, his phone is in battery drain.

"aura?"

Aura turned her head and found Darren greeting her from the lowered car glass.

"Darren?"

"Where's Wilow? You're not with him?"

"Ah, he's still engrossed in the others. I don't want to bother him, I can go home by myself."

"Let's take you home!"

...***...

Rayyan arrived at the Apartmen when it was already dark. He saw the atmosphere there quiet and silent. That means Aura hasn't returned yet.

Maid, who Rayyan had hired when she returned to Indonesia some time ago - did not work on weekends, the middle-aged woman only worked on weekends and did not stay overnight, that was why the Aura Apartment was completely empty.

"Where are you, Ra?" Rayyan wondered and started to worry.

Rayyan called his wife's number but was not connected. Rayyan's feeling was suddenly unpleasant.

To be honest, Rayyan couldn't let Aura go alone. But he always remembered Aura saying that they were still free. For that, Rayyan did not want to curb the woman. But in this situation, Rayyan always goes awry.

Rayyan chose to come down from the Apartment floor because she was not calm waiting for Aura there. He'll just wait in the lobby, he thought.

Until the moment Rayyan's eyes caught the sight that made her clench both hands.

Aura looks home with Darren and he sees the man opening the car door for his wife.

"aura?" Rayyan approached the two who were already outside the car. He doesn't care if the rain starts to wash over him.

The aura itself flinched due to the call from the voice. He turned his head and called Rayyan's name without a sound.

"Why can't your number be reached, Ra?"

The aura looks flabbergasted. He saw an angry look in Rayyan's netra. Suddenly, Aura recalled the warning Rayyan had told her this afternoon, regarding the limitations of a wife.

"Hp I'm lowbet," Aura replied hesitantly, she lowered her gaze, for some reason she was afraid of Rayyan's anger this time.

"Don't I tell you not to go with a man and just the two of you?"

Rayyan also ignored Darren who was looking at her debate with Aura right now.

"Darren just drove me. I told you, right, that we're still free?"

Rayyan smiled obliquely looking unhappy with Aura's answer who returned to discuss the matter of 'free.

"Free?" rayyan said with a bland smile. "You must know that I've been trying to free you. But I told you the same thing about a wife's boundaries, right?" with a disappointed face.

"Wife? Who do you mean as a wife?" Darren suddenly opened his voice.

Rayyan chuckled incessantly, not even this man knew that Aura was his wife. That meant that Aura was indeed hiding their marital status continuously. Wh-wh-what for? Was Aura interested in this man to the point of ignoring his warning this afternoon?

"aura! She's my wife" Rayyan replied upsetly.

Darren looked at Aura with a surprised look and as if he wanted to ask for an explanation. But Aura threw a glance in the other direction.

"I thought you'd listen to me a little, Ra. In fact, you never appreciate me and always think of my words as nonsense!" rayyan.

"I'm not going with Darren, he's just antherin me, out of desperation!" said Aura trying to defend herself. The three of them completely ignored the increasingly heavy rain.

"Whatever it is, if you're desperate you should call me, Ra! Not him! I'm really disappointed in you!" allegations Rayyan.
