Trapped On The Bride's Night
49. Keep your distance

Since Rayyan's rejection of her the other day, Aura couldn't hide her awkward attitude when she ran into the man in their organization group.

Aura also tried not to engage in conversation with the man. Aura seemed evasive, but she still smiled as a form of greeting.

Aura became private that seemed closed and quiet. All that he did to keep his own feelings, which is getting sick every time he saw the closeness of Rayyan and Lucy.

Every time there is a social activity, Aura always seems busy, he becomes one of the most active members among others.

Aura doesn't come out of the organization - although seeing Rayyan and Lucy means she has to prepare her feelings.

For him, all this was a punishment for him, by witnessing firsthand the man he loved so familiar with other women who were getting more and more annoying day by day.

Yes, after knowing Lucy for almost two months, Aura began to realize that the woman seemed to deliberately upset her. Aura judged, if Lucy intended to heat up and provoke Aura's anger.

I don't know, Aura always tries not to pester him, although sometimes he still steals the view on the closeness of the two and always makes him more heartbroken many times.

"Aura, are you going home yet?"

As always, the one who always actively invited Aura to talk there was only Devon or Carl, while Wilow was not very active in the organization even though sometimes the girl came to participate.

"Yes. I'm done," said Aura.

They had just finished from the activity of distributing food on one of the nursing beaches, as well as entertaining the residents of the place who welcomed them with various types. Some are warm, but some are arrogant because of senility.

"Yes, let's go home."

"Sorry, Dev. I'll just go home by myself."

Devon sighed heavily, Aura had been acting a few times to keep her distance, Aura was not like this for some reason now the woman changed.

"I wouldn't mind. Comeon!" get Devon to hold on.

"No, Dev. I've booked a taxi online and it'll probably be here soon. Sorry, yeah."

Aura had indeed deliberately avoided Devon, however, she appreciated Rayyan who asked her to keep her distance from the man. Although Rayyan was not a person and they did not have a relationship anymore, but there was no harm in Aura following the advice of the man. Aura knew Rayyan would want the best for her and Rayyan's words the other day implied that.

Aura passes from Devon's presence and rides a taxi that fortunately comes on time - so he does not have to refuse Devon for the umpteenth time.

Devon snorted softly upon seeing Aura's departure and her actions were caught by Rayyan's eyes there.

Devon who realized that Rayyan was looking at him, now even closer to the position of the man.

"Do you know how to approach Aura?"

Rayyan was not too surprised by Devon's question, from the beginning she could already guess if this man liked Aura and kept moving closer to him.

"Where do I know," Rayyan cuek responded.

"I think you're Indonesian, just like Aura, it's possible that the woman from your country has her own typical."

"If he avoids you, that means you're not his typical. Right?"

Devon clucked his tongue because of Rayyan's words. "He wasn't like this at first, Ray. But lately he seemed to be keeping his distance from me" he lamented.

Rayyan relaxed her shoulders, looking indifferent. He had no interest in hearing Devon's curses, let alone his ex-wife.

"I've never been this attracted to a woman. Usually they will be easy for me to approach and make my curiosity instantly answered, but Aura is different, she makes it difficult for me to turn to other women," admitted Devon while staring at Rayyan.

Rayyan chuckled softly. "Then, you should make even more effort to approach him" he said, patting Devon on the shoulder.

"You're alone, how?"

"Me?" Rayyan pointed to herself. "What's wrong with me?" tanyakanya.

"How did you get to Lucy? I think he's just sticking to you" he joked.

Rayyan just thinned the lips, then said that does not correspond to Devon's question.

"I'll go home first."

"You're not going home with Lucy?"

Rayyan shook her head. "Why should he be with her, if he's gone home with his other friends too," he said lightly.

Rayyan almost moved when Devon returned to voice.

"Don't give her any hope, if you're not interested in her, Ray!"

Rayyan smiled obliquely, then left the place.

...***...

"What is this about you?"

Aura sat languidly in her chair, making Wilow approach the woman with many questions on her head.

"You're not happy to be invited by Lucy?" tanya Wilow referred to the invitation card that Aura had thrown onto the table.

"Why is he so happy to throw a party?" Aura knows, this must be Lucy's wits to heat up again at the party later. In Aura's mind, she believes that Lucy is suspicious of the real relationship between her and Rayyan, so she often shows off her relationship with Rayyan to her.

"Where do I know, it's just plain old. Celebrate the fun with the party" replied Wilow.

"It feels like his birthday party just happened and now he wants to throw another party related to the promotion in his office? Oh my ..." The aura sounded blabbering, more like grumbling.

"Oh, just come. We can eat for free."

"Huh, you're this .. I can also treat you if you want to eat for free."

"really?"

"Yes. So we don't have to go there!" murmur Aura.

"You seem really upset with him?"

Should Aura tell Wilow that Lucy's attitude is outrageous? However, he holds that back considering Wilow is also friends with Lucy. I don't know, Aura just kept their friendship.

"So you want it or not?"

"What?" ask Wilow not to understand.

"I treat! Right at Lucy's party so we don't have to go there."

Wilow chuckled. "Let me guess, you're pissed at him because he's heating you up, right?" guess it.

"Yes!" answer Aura straightforwardly.

And Wilow clapped because of that.

When the show arrives, Wilow and Aura are completely absent to come to the party created by Lucy.

They even had dinner at a cafe located not far from the office, taking Ghea and Sylvia as well.

"Darren?" Wilow accidentally saw his cousin Darren there with a woman he knew.

"Why?" tanya Ghea and Aura simultaneously.

"I-I saw Darren earlier." Wilow suddenly keki.

"Where?" tanya Aura made sure.

"There," said Wilow pointing towards the terrace of the cafe.

"Then, why are you so shocked? It was just Darren," Aura said soothingly.

"The thing is, I saw him with a woman and was very friendly" Wilow explained.

"Maybe Darren already has a lover" Sylvia said.

"The problem is, if I don't get it wrong .. that woman looks a lot like Lucy!"

Wilow's words made Aura, Ghea and Sylvia gawk.

"Maybe you're wrong, there's no way Darren's with Lucy. Lucy's having a party at her house anyway, right?" ghea said his head.

"Yes, after all Lucy is close to Rayyan," said Aura who said while ruling out her heartache. He also looks indifferent.

"Yes, maybe I saw it wrong. But I'm curious and I want to prove it" Wilow said.

"How is it?" ask Ghea anyway.

"Yes we're coming to Lucy's party. If he was there, the possibility that Darren was with him wasn't him. But if she's not there, I'm sure it's Lucy!" wilow said he was excited and determined by his belief.

They looked at each other and asked Aura's opinion because only the woman was the most vehemently opposed to attending Lucy's party.

"I think it's better for you to go there. I'll just go home, yeah." Aura says she'd rather go back than Lucy's party and find her affection with her ex-husband again and again.
