Trapped On The Bride's Night
43. Swim

Holding the tightness in her chest, as well as holding back the tears from escaping past her cheeks, Aura moved from there and entered the toilet that was on the inside of the yacht.

Closing the door and finally really crying there.

Is this what you call jealousy? Is this what you call heartache? But, can he feel that? Is not his heart dead? Did he never love? Then why does it feel like this when you see Rayyan with Lucy?

Is Aura destined to love at a time like this? Aura doesn't know what love feels like. But now he knows what it means to be sick. Is this what Rayyan used to feel? Or is the wound in the man's heart worse?

Aura long enough to lament the fate of her romance there, until the sound of knocking on the door made her have to return to reality.

"Ra! The aura! You're in there? You're okay, right?" Wilow's boisterous voice rang out while knocking on the door

Aura rubbed the rough tears that drenched her cheeks. "Yes, I'm here. I'm fine, Wil," he told a lie. Of course he was all right, even now he wanted to be reduced here all day so as not to see Rayyan with Lucy again.

"You've been inside too long. Is something wrong?"

"none. I'm going out now" Aura said after washing her face in the small sink that was there.

Aura opened the door and found Wilow who was looking at her full of probes.

"You why?"

Looks like Wilow can't for Aura to lie.

"I told you there's nothing." Aura tried to smile, but of course it was the biggest smile she had ever sung. "Why do you know I'm here?" tanyanya diverted the conversation.

"Ah, I just saw Carl has joined his other friends so I think you must be alone now. Carl said you went to the toilet in a hurry. You're okay, right?" Wilow made sure.

"I'm ok, can we swim?" tanya Aura tried to be fine.

Aura wanted to swim to refresh her brain.

"Wait a minute, aren't you not good at swimming? If it's on the shoreline maybe I'll let you but now our yachts are in the middle of the sea!" wilow protest.

"Who said? I'm good at swimming, Cean taught me a lot."

"No, no. I'm not sure. Let's just look at the dolphins, by this afternoon there are usually many who jump," Wilow suggested.

The aura drew Wilow's hand. "I need to refresh my mind. I'm going for a swim, okay?"

"But, Ra..."

"You're good at swimming, right? You can take care of me later!" aura gave up Wilow's words.

"Yes, but I can only take care of myself, I can't monitor you."

"In that case, I won't be far from you. Take Ghea and Sylvia as well."

"They won't want to, they seem engrossed in the approach with Lucy's boyfriend."

"Yes, we're both alone!"

Wilow followed Aura's steps. Aura himself was confused by the courage he had, perhaps because of his regret at seeing the togetherness of Rayyan and Lucy earlier so as to encourage himself to do reckless things.

Aura can swim, but not proficient, especially in the open sea. It was different considering the pressure of the water and there were waves as well. But this time Aura tried it. Challenging the adrenaline that was on him.

Aura knew it would be dangerous, but she didn't care.

Byur!!

One by one, Lucy's friends had plunged themselves into the water. There's Carl too.

Speaking of Rayyan, Aura didn't know if the man knew about her whereabouts here or not. What was clear, Aura was unwilling to see Rayyan with Lucy again, it was extremely painful.

"By!"

While jumping into the water, Wilow stopped the Aura's movement.

"Why else, Wil?"

"You sure?"

Aura nodded steadily.

"Okay, let's get started!" said Wilow who was used to this.

"OK," Aura replied without hesitation.

But Wilow stopped his movement when the tip of his eye caught the view on the other side of their yacht.

"Wait, Ra! Isn't that Rayyan?"

Aura closed her eyes for a moment. "You're wrong, Wil. He can't be here" he said in denial.

"I'm not wrong, it's Rayyan. Try to watch. There, who's with Lucy!" said Wilow again.

"I said you saw it wrong, it can't be him. Where did he know Lucy. That's not possible."

Wilow stared into Aura's eyes, more seriously to confirm his friend's response.

"I'll try to forget it." Aura knows his words are just to avoid this discussion, even he does not know how to start forgetting someone who has struggled with it.

"Yes, we'll talk about this again later!" the word Wilow accompanied his movements and ...

Byurs!

Wilow had already jumped into the water and now it was Aura's turn.

Aura took a deep breath, there was a hint of fear that flashed but she glanced at the direction where Rayyan and Lucy were still engrossed in chattering there and not a single look at her, it made Aura come back in pain.

Even Rayyan was very engrossed and seemed to be unaware that Aura was there as well. Why does this hurt? Inner Aura wanted to scream right now.

Isn't Rayyan his? Rayyan should be with him, right? But Aura knew that their togetherness had passed even before Aura realized her feelings.

"Come, Ra!" squeak Wilow from down there. He complained to Aura who was still standing on the lips of the yacht.

In the count of the three that Aura made in the heart, finally the woman actually jumped into the water. For some reason at such a time, Aura actually thought not to have to appear again to the surface because she did not want to see Rayyan with other women besides herself. That's very painful.

...***...

Rayyan was looking at Lucy pouring orange juice into two stemmed glasses as the screaming sounds of Lucy's friends diverted her attention.

"What's wrong?" Lucy moved away, before putting a glass filled with juice on the table.

Rayyan watched it silently, though she was also curious as to what was going on there.

Lucy looks panicked and walks to the outskirts of the Yacht.

"Ray! Here!" lucy called out to Rayyan.

Rayyan approached in a calm manner. "What's wrong?" askanya while looking at the direction that is the focus of Lucy.

"Look! he said someone drowned there!" exclaim Lucy panicked.

"Rayyan!!" Suddenly the voice of someone who was swimming, shouted the name of the man.

Lucy looked at Rayyan. "You know Wilow?" tanyanya.

Hearing Wilow's name, Rayyan recalled that it was one of Aura's friends.

"Rayyan! Aura please!" pekik Wilow.

Rayyan's eyes widened, from his position high above the Yacht, Rayyan could see on the body of someone who was quite a distance away and seemed to be swaying.

"*****!" Rayyan swore to no one and immediately jumped from the top of the Yacht.

"Ray!"

"Rayyan!"

All her friends, even Lucy who saw Rayyan's actions immediately shouted the man's name in disbelief.

Rayyan seemed to swim after some people who had also moved first to help Aura there.

Until finally, Aura's body was first saved by one of their friends - Devon-but was immediately dragged by Rayyan who also arrived shortly after.

"Ray?" Devon was astonished by Rayyan's sudden attitude and took Aura's body from him.

"Let me go" Rayyan said.

Carl, who also caught up with them in the middle of the sea, certainly saw it and whispered something to Devon.

"Aura was Ray's friend when he was in Indonesia, maybe they were still relatives so let Ray help him," he said.

Devon finally understood, after all, he could not stand in Rayyan considering they were saving someone's life. And again, the most important thing right now is the safety of that woman.

Rayyan carried Aura's body up to the yacht deck, where Lucy, Wilow and other friends seemed to be waiting.

"Noritas ..." Wilow looks so happy there.

Rayyan ignored that, she focused on Aura who was now in her carriage, she placed Aura carefully there.

"It looks like Aura is swallowing a lot of sea water," chirped Ghea who was also panicked to see the state of Aura who was unconscious.

"Let me help you with CPR" Devon said.

Rayyan was still silent, but when she heard Devon say her intention and got closer to Aura's side, Rayyan first checked the woman's breathing.

"You can? Just let me!" the word Devon gave a suggestion without any other thought.

Rayyan didn't say anything, but it was what he did.

Seeing that Rayyan had already given Aura some breath help, Devon glared but she hoped that she could really be saved.
