Trapped On The Bride's Night
65. Guilt

"Mas, can I get something?" asked Aura in Rayyan's arms. Currently they are in the apartment room that has been purchased by Rayyan and ready to be occupied by both - whenever they want.

"What do you want to ask, hmm?"

Aura was silent for a moment, seemingly weighing, but she finally decided to ask him as well.

"On Hanin--"

"Don't talk about it, yeah," pinta Rayyan in a soft tone.

"But, Mas? I just want to know, because Jeno's revenge is on me because Hanin's suffering."

Rayyan scolded long, before finally the man rubbed his own face rough. The man is muffling his annoyance at Hanin's attitude which also makes him shocked - for choosing suicide.

"You ... give him what punishment, anyway, Mas? I'm horrified, his father's company suddenly went bankrupt. Yeah, now I know you have a lot of money, but what does that affect, huh, Hanin's life because of your interference?" Aura stroked Rayyan's chest, hoping that her actions could make Rayyan not angry because of this curiosity.

"Yes, I told you," Rayyan broke up. Though if possible, he wanted Aura not to know this because he did not want Aura to consider him cruel. However, if you remember the actions of Hanin who trapped the two of them at that time, Rayyan's emotions were always ignited.

"Try your story, Mommy." Aura looked at her husband with a smile.

"So, I was just trying to figure out who the woman that trapped us was. I have permission too Papa you. He continued to say yes, we should give lessons and the same deterrent effect of the person so that he does not dare to nge you again."

Aura was seen listening to Rayyan's story. "Continue?" tanyakanya.

"Yes, it continues to be discovered that the woman's name is Hanin. I asked my assistant to find out her background turns out she had dated Jeno - the man who almost married you. So yeah, I got the conclusion from there."

Rayyan took a deep breath before finally returning to continue.

"... It turns out that Hanin's father was Mr. Galih. I know him. He's got a garment company that I'm actually also stocking up on."

Now Aura moved from her position. He stared at Rayyan's goal, a thought popping into his head.

"At first I was confused to tell Hanin what kind of punishment for his actions that have trapped you and me that night. If he were a man, I would have put him in jail" Rayyan divided later.

"So, what punishment do you give him?"

"I'm just pulling my shares in his Papa company. At first I thought my shares didn't mean much there, because they were only a few percent. It turned out that after that the company began to falter, not long later collapse. Turns out, pusut had a proposal that Mr. Galih had a lot of debt and many who participated in the pull of shares after knowing I pulled shares from there."

"So, that company went bankrupt really because of you?"

"Yes, at first I thought Mr. Galih wouldn't go bankrupt, honey. I just want him to wonder why I'm pulling stocks all of a sudden. Well, my plan .. if he's-I'll tell him what he's done to his son. So, let him just punish Hanin. Unfortunately, because of the debt pursued ... Mr. Galih did not get to see me again and reportedly ran away somewhere. He also ran away because he's done a lot of corrupt things."

Now Aura understood why Hanin's father's company went bankrupt, then continued with the escape of his parents, so that Hanin, who was his only child, continued to be chased by debt collectors. Until finally, Hanin decided to end his life because he could no longer bear the heavy burden.

Rayyan looked at the ceiling of the room now. "What do you think Hanin killed because I had a hand in it?" rayyan asked with a face full of regret.

"You feel guilty?" ask Aura.

Rayyan was silent, again exhaling a heavy breath.

"In retrospect, it all started with my actions, right?" rayyan asked his wife.

"So, you're sorry?"

"Oh, I think it's also my fault."

Aura cupped both sides of Rayyan's face then stared at the man's bead of eyes.

"You're not wrong, honey. Hanin killed herself, she died of her own choice and it's not your fault" Aura stressed her every sentence.

"But still, it all started because of my rash actions, but from the beginning I didn't mean that."

"I know, Mas. I know you can't be with someone else. You also did not expect that Hanin would take such a cowardly path. So, remember, Mom! It's not your fault. Hanin died of his own choice. He's the one who chose to die rather than find another way out of his problems."

"Do you believe me, Ra?" Rayyan stared back at the netra of his wife.

"Thank you, honey. I actually felt stupid for not thinking this far. I also don't know if Mr. Galih is in a lot of debt. What I should have investigated was not just Hanin's background, but covering his parents' history as well" Rayyan said.

"Everyone is wrong, and so are you. Nothing is perfect. The point is, Hanin's death was his own choice, so don't blame yourself."

...***...

The decision to move was planned and will be implemented soon. Aura's belongings that were still in her parents' residence were already finished in the box to be transferred to her new Apartment with Rayyan.

"All you?"

Aura nodded at her husband's question.

All the families seemed to gather to take off Aura who was really going to live with her husband and leave the Lazuardi residence. For that, Mama Yara deliberately serves a lot of good food that will be missed by the child.

"This mom is - there is, deh. Aura moved not far away, still in this city as well and Mama can go there whenever mama wants," said Aura when the Mama looked heavy to take off her move.

"Yes, even though you won't stay here anymore" said Mama Yara.

Papa Sky, Rayyan and the others responded to the interaction of the two with a restrained smile.

"What is the difference with Aura who used to move to Germany. That's even further? Even after graduating from college at that time Aura also had time to live in Singapore," said Aura later.

"That's different, honey. Back then you moved still single status, if now you really have to join your husband, son."

Aura finally relented with the exaggerated attitude of the Mama. He hugged Mama Yara and tried to calm her down.

"Aura will be more independent, Ma. And Aura has become a real wife so Aura hope you want to understand why Aura and Rayyan prefer to live in their own home."

"Yes, Honey. I'm sorry, Mama just feels the house is getting quieter. Cean will also move in a moment," he said.

Aura hugged the mother who she knew was sad.

"Quiet, Ma. There's a father who won't leave Mama" Rayyan joked.

"Yup. Papa will always be here with Mama" replied Papa Sky.

They were all enjoying lunch together. Bi Dima's panicked voice rang out, his gurgle was very strange. Everyone was waiting for what Bi Dima would say when she suddenly appeared in the dining room. Unfortunately, Bi Dima was only silent with a perplexed manner.

Just now Aura wanted to ask what was going on, but not yet had it happened, Bi Dima instead headed towards Rayyan's position and seemed to whisper something near the man as if only Rayyan was allowed to know this news.

Aura looked curiously at the two, not least the other. While Rayyan who listened to Bi Dima's words, seemed stunned and suddenly straightened up.

Before long, Rayyan seemed to sigh like she wanted to master the situation first.

"Where is he, Bi?" rayyan asked Bi Dima. But he did not whisper, so that all who were at the dining table could hear his speech until more confused with the eyebrows linked.

Rayyan pulled out of the dinner table. However, he did not say anything to Aura specifically.

The aura was instantly astonished. What exactly is going on? That's the question in the woman's head.

Aura chose to catch up with Rayyan who had already left the dining table and seemed to be galloping rapidly towards the entrance.

"Do you want Auntie here?" rayyan asked in a displeased tone to a middle-aged woman.

The woman that Aura did not recognize was instead grinning at Rayyan, then replied with a cynical speech.

"You want to tell your wife's family that you're an ungodly granddaughter who abandoned her own grandmother!"

And Aura held her position covered by a large urn. Did Rayyan really do that?
