Trapped On The Bride's Night
40. Unaltered

"You want to see him die in person?" jeno asked Rayyan.

Jeno's hand already wanted to tickle Aura's neck, making the woman tremble in her position. However, Rayyan seemed calm to face the situation, as if Jeno's threat had no impact on her.

Rayyan just put on a flat face, then turned around regardless of Aura there.

"Heh, where is he going? Was he unwilling to save Aura?" inner Jeno speechless.

Before Rayyan actually left the doorway, she said quietly.

"Me and Aura have nothing to do anymore, so whatever you want to do, it won't affect my life" she said as she stared at Aura coldly.

Hearing that, Aura instantly warped, her legs as if turning into flabby jelly and unable to support her body weight anymore. He drowned, thinking Rayyan would save him.

Rayyan actually turned around. Jeno who was ignited by emotion immediately released Aura in order to pursue Rayyan's steps.

Then, Jeno also pulled Rayyan's arm and wanted to hit her, but Rayyan's movement was more alert, as if it had read Jeno's movements so that Rayyan could avoid and actually immediately pushed Jeno's body to the floor.

Now Jeno's position is under Rayyan's body and the man beat his opponent blindly, even Rayyan did not give any chance to Jeno, so Jeno did not have the opportunity to reciprocate his treatment.

Rayyan was really stifled, since then she had been holding back the rumbling emotions in her chest and now it was time to vent that anger on Jeno who seemed helpless under her feet.

"I've told you never to see each other again or I'll finish you off!" cerca Rayyan in front of Jeno's battered face.

"Nrg ..." Jeno groaned in pain, he held his stomach which had hit Rayyan with his feet.

While Aura, watched the incident with her eyes bulging and wet cheeks. Just this time he saw the anger of Rayyan and Rayyan's speech that had made him slow he did not think anymore because for Aura Rayyan's existence here is to help him.

Aura inched from the room while covering her body that was not fully covered because her clothes had been torn and formless because of Jeno's actions.

From his position that was half a meter away with Aura's whereabouts now, Rayyan opened her jacket and gave it to Aura with an ordinary attitude. There was no sentence Rayyan spoke, but Aura understood and immediately put on Rayyan's jacket to cover her exposed body.

At the same time, there was the sound of footsteps of people approaching.

"Shandy we've secured, Ray!" A man with a bule look said to Rayyan who looked sculpted without a word.

Rayyan also nodded. "Thanks, Bro. Now please take care of this one," he said, referring to Jeno who was sprawled with gasping breaths.

"OK!"

Rayyan passed from there without looking at Aura who was frozen in place.

When Aura tried to pursue Rayyan's steps, there he only realized if he was in a large house with a large yard. Several trail bikes appear to be arranged there. Several men passed by who Aura believed to be Rayyan's friends helped her get to the house.

There was a Jeep car with the engine running seemed to be waiting. It looks like it's the car that will be used to carry and secure Shandy and Jeno.

Aura did not know where Rayyan's friends were going to herd them, which clearly now Aura's focus was only on the man who started riding his trail bike.

"Ray?"

Rayyan glanced at the woman who called him, not wearing her helmet because Aura seemed to want to say something.

"Thank you, please help me."

Rayyan just thinned her lips. His cold attitude made Aura wonder. Rayyan seemed to change. Not only in terms of appearance that is now seen extending the sideburns and leaving rough feathers in the jaw, the man's attitude also looks different.

Rayyan put on her helmet, prepared to leave but she opened the helmet glass and said flatly to Aura.

"Don't think too much, I'm not here to help you, but because Jeno has a grudge against me about Hanin. So, I'm here to secure her because she's gonna be a stumbling block for me in the future."

Once again Aura felt slapped with Rayyan's cold words. That speech was like cutting his heart. The warm Rayyan had nothing left but the cold Rayyan as if she had never known him close enough.

"Nor!!" rayyan exclaimed to one of his friends who was there.

The man called Rayyan approached them.

"Why, Ray?" ask Carl.

"Antar he's home. It seems like this is not the place" Rayyan said referring to Aura.

"Ray!" Aura prevented the departure of Rayyan who had turned on her motorbike. The girl's hand held the handlebar of the motor so that Rayyan did not pass by.

"Why?" rayyan asked who again looked cold, even her gaze seemed to freeze Aura indirectly.

"Why should you ask your friend to drop me off? Why don't you take me, Ray?"

"I still have other business, more important."

Aura sculpted, Rayyan's words as if resuscitating him for his position that was no more important now.

The sound of Rayyan's motor roar that began to drift away rang out loud in the woman's hearing. The aura was like being hypnotized by staying in place. A voice finally resuscitated Aura from her daydream regarding Rayyan's different attitude.

"Come, I'll take you!" said Carl who had been groomed by Rayyan to deliver Aura.

Aura rode the trail bike driven by Carl and fell silent along the way.

"Did you know Ray before today?" carl asked Aura who had been silent since.

Carl's question made Aura know that Rayyan had never told her friends about her.

"Yes, I know him," Aura replied bluntly.

"Oh. It's worth it that he would lend you his jacket."

"If you may know, why did you all come to that house? Including Rayyan?" Aura still wanted to know the real reason, because she believed Rayyan was there to save her, not like the man who said he wanted to secure Jeno, aura thought Rayyan's words were just an excuse to cover up her true intentions.

"So, the man we were securing recently named Jeno, he's Rayyan's enemy. Rayyan knows Jeno's arrival in Germany and suspects the man, so we've all been monitoring her movements since she arrived in the country."

"Where did Rayyan know Jeno's arrival?"

"Rayyan has a connection to know that."

I don't think Aura believes Carl's words. How can a Rayyan have connections and know to be able to track someone's arrival? Is Rayyan an influential person? Why doesn't Aura know about it? Isn't that man her ex-husband? His heart pinched, as if affirming a reality if he did not know anything about Rayyan and that is the fact.

"You've known Rayyan for a long time?" tanya Aura was curious. He should have known Rayyan better, in fact he did not know at all about the man.

"Yet. It's just, we're in one organization, Ray's only been in the last 6 months but we're like brothers and we're gonna help each other."

"So about Jeno?"

"Yes, of course, Ray said Jeno was his enemy who had a grudge against him. Jeno's arrival to Germany made Rayyan wary, which is why we monitored her. And you're lucky we came at the right time. Because of you we can also report Rayyan for the case she did today with Shandy."

The aura was silent. So it's true that Rayyan didn't come to the house just now to help her? But to catch Jeno who happened to be with Shandy and also happened to be holding him there. But, doesn't the coincidence feel like a lot?

Carl lowered Aura in front of the woman's apartment building. Aura thanked the man.

"Carl, thank you so much. Give my gratitude to your other friends, especially Rayyan."

Carl responds to Aura's words with a thumbs up then passes from the woman's presence.

Aura entered her apartment unit with mixed feelings. He stretched out his body on his bed and let out a long breath.

Instead of thinking about the near-malicious fate of Jeno and Shandy, she thought of her savior.

"Rayyan ..." Aura muttered softly, glimpsed by the jacket that was still attached to her body, it was Rayyan's.

Aura opened the jacket, inhaling the distinctive aroma of the man who was still left there.

"Ray, I'm sorry, Ray ..." Aura hugged the jacket, with a puddle of tears that could not be restrained.

Aura remembered her promise to herself when she had almost harassed Shandy. The promise is that he is willing to do whatever he can to get out of the situation. And his savior at that time was Rayyan. So that was their first meeting. Why is Aura only realizing it now?

And that promise, Aura should make amends to her savior who is none other than Rayyan. Aura had to make up for it by doing anything for Rayyan because that man had always been her hero. Before or now.
