Trapped On The Bride's Night
48. Refusal

Aura was stunned for a moment when she heard Rayyan's words, but hurriedly she neutralized her sudden feelings that had arisen as a result of this situation.

Of course, Aura happily changed positions, sitting next to the dimpled man who started driving.

Do not ask the atmosphere in the cabin of the car, because even though it was cold as Rayyan's current attitude but still Aura felt grateful. Isn't he lucky?

Aura held back the smile that was almost on her lips. If this is just a dream, please do not wake him up as soon as possible, because for whatever sake he wants to be trapped for a long time in this condition. No matter what the night becomes morning, it turns into day again.

"Ray?" Disregarding her nervousness, Aura chose to open her voice first because the man by her side seemed too focused on the streets.

Unable to get an answer, Aura took a deep breath, before finally returning to speak.

"... thank you, for you have not helped me again at that time. I-I .. know thank you is not enough, but anyway I have to say it to you."

Aura turned to the man who only responded to her words with a slow mutter.

"Hm ..."

However, Aura was still happy because Rayyan was willing to respond. Should Aura be excited right now?

Fortunately, he could resist that desire.

"Well, where do you live now, Ray?" tanyanya.

"It's around here too."

"Why not go back to Indonesia?"

Rayyan did not say. Aura felt the question was wrong.

"I'm sorry, I didn't because I wanted you to go back. I'm glad you're still in Germany, which means you still want to see me."

Suddenly Rayyan laughed, but it sounded discordant.

"I'm still here because I'm still at home, not because of you."

Aura nodded her head, she knew Rayyan's answer sounded flinching, but it was her own fault that said too confident earlier.

"Whatever it is, I'm grateful you're still here and saved me a few times."

Rayyan did not answer, his car turned left when he found the intersection. Somehow Aura felt their journey was very long now.

"I'm ... also sorry, Ray," said Aura slowly as she stared at the fingers on her lap.

"... I know I'm wrong with you. After we separated, I learned one thing that I realized someone so precious after I lost him."

Quite a long time of silence controlled the situation until Rayyan finally cleared his throat slowly and said a sentence that made Aura feel more guilty.

"Now you're happy, right? Because I deliberately disappeared for your happiness. We separate from your wishes. Make the most of this situation and achieve your own happiness."

The tears that were somehow contained behind the Aura-eye eyelids finally fell and dripped as well. Should Aura be honest if she is not then happy even though Rayyan has gone from her life? Even now his life feels empty and monotonous. Can Aura be honest about her feelings for Rayyan, but it's too late?

Gradually, the car finally really stopped in the area of the Apartment building that Aura occupied.

"Thank you for bothering me, I hope you and Lucy are happy too. I'll try to deal with all this and not avoid it, is that what you want?"

Aura pulled the door lever, but Rayyan's hand prevented it.

"Why, Ray?" tanya Aura was nervous with a face that was already soaked by tears.

Rayyan cleared her throat at a glance, breaking her hand that had blocked Aura's arm that was about to move.

"Don't get too close to Devon," said the man, his eyes staring in any direction, unwilling to return Aura's sad-looking gaze.

Aura smiled, for some reason she even caught the jealous tone of this man's speech.

"You're jealous I'm close to Devon?"

"Yes, it's just that Devon's not a nice guy."

Aura was instead interested in luring Rayyan to ascertain her suspicions about the jealous feelings the man had.

"All I know is he's nice and always polite to me."

"I know him better than you."

And Aura already got an answer to her curiosity, this man was really jealous of her closeness with Devon.

Boldly, Aura held onto the side of Rayyan's face, so that the man looked straight at her and the Aura's actions made Rayyan slightly flutter.

"Ray, you're jealous, right? I know you're still in this country because of me, right? I also know, you're the one who saved me when I drowned the other day. Aye, right? Answer me, Ray!" urge Aura.

Rayyan did reply to Aura's gaze, but a cold look still emanated with a stark look on her face.

"Don't think too much. I'm in Germany because there's still business, and about saving you back then, it's purely out of humanity. Do you think I can let someone else drown? Even if it wasn't you, I would still save you. So, don't expect more, Aura!"

Aura speechless. Of course, Rayyan's words that rejected him were very saddening.

However, as he had instilled in him all this time, if Rayyan indeed would not be affected in every speech.

After all, how could Rayyan still love her if Lucy seemed more everything than her. Rayyan would have preferred Lucy over her.

Withstanding the pain in his heart, Aura actually got out of Rayyan's car, ran a little to reach her apartment building, never turning her head again towards the man's car. For him, Rayyan indeed will never be able to have again because the heart and feelings of the man already owned by other women.

Aura entered her Apartmen unit while crying. He held his chest that felt great rumbling and tight. No, he does not blame Rayyan if the man has really fallen in love with another woman. It was precisely Aura's own fault that asking to separate from the man and give another woman a chance to enter Rayyan's life.

This was all because Aura never expected that she could have this kind of feeling towards the man she had already hurt. He also never expected that after parting ways he would lose Rayyan like this. Moreover, after he knew Rayyan who had always saved his life long ago, it added to the guilt in Aura's heart, making him want the man even more.

"I think I'll be strong as long as I don't hear your rejection in person, Ray! But in fact I am not as strong as you .. who although I have rejected many times but still still kekeuh to be with me."

Aura knew, Rayyan's rejection of him today was no worse than her attitude towards the man. Aura felt this was the price she deserved and once again she had to be strong in the face of this ordeal.

While on the other hand, Rayyan did not turn the car engine back on. He hit the wheel, swearing at himself and repeatedly expressing frustration.

Once again he looked at the direction where Aura's back disappeared into the crowd, there was a sense of wanting to catch up with his eyes, but he hurriedly dismissed the thought.

"May you be happy, Ra!" said weak.

Then, the man started his car engine, went from his position to bring himself back to his own residence.
