Marrying My Brother's Fiancee
CHAPTER 3 RELEASING
"Hallo...Sally??!" raka's voice involuntarily rose, with a volume that was quite surprising two lovebirds who were sitting not far from her desk.
"Yes.." There's a soft voice across.
"Where areyou? where have you been?" lecar Raka, his face crimson withstanding his mixed emotions.
"I'm.I'm sorry, '" sally's soft voice sounded.
"Sorry for what? you where? I'm going there now.we have to meet!"
"I'm sorry, Ka. I was wrong." Sally sighed
"We meet now! we need to talk!" Raka shouted loudly.
"Raka.Let me talk first"
"We need to meet!!!" Raka interrupted with a huff.
"Raka..listen to me! I don't have much time, I'll be boarding soon. I'm asking you to listen to me, please." Sally's voice sounded firmly full of supplication.
"I'm sorry, don't wait for me anymore.
I regretted being late to realize that I never really loved you. All this time it turns out I only love you, nothing more!"
Raka was transfixed like a statue, stunned by the sentence she heard.
"I know I was wrong, for leaving at times like this. But I can't spend my life with you, I'm tired of hiding all this time. I'm sorry.." The voice on the other side gets hoarse.
"But this is not how! Have you gone crazy? You don't think of many people who can go crazy because of you!"
Raka snorted furiously with anger.
It was as easy as Sally to apologize for all this. The voice across started to sob.
" Okay..you don't have to think about me, but don't you remember your mom? You don't think about my parents' feelings! You don't think what if I'm gonna be everyone's laughingstock!
What kind of joke are you taking on all this?!"Raka was really no longer able to stem her anger.
"I know, I let a lot of people down.
But I've made this decision! I can't lie to you much longer. I love other people, I'm happier with them. I don't want to create a hellish wedding for both of us, if this goes on."
Raka was sitting limp, a lot of words he wanted to say but everything seemed to be stuck in the throat. for a moment they were both trapped in silence, not knowing what to talk about.
"Raka..."
"Raka, you're still listening to me right?" I heard a little sob there.
"Sally, this is not the way.ayo we talk about it. Go home..." Raka closed her sore eyes. Raka had never felt this desperate.
"I can't go back, Bram is waiting for me. And now I. I'm pregnant with her child.." Sally's stammering voice sounded at the end, but it was like lightning in Raka's ear.
Raka was wide-eyed, like the man whose heart had been smashed. Everything inside her chest felt tight. His mouth was like a cramp, not knowing to say anything more.
"I'm sorry I let you down like this. No need to wait for me anymore, I'm sorry"
the phrase softly interrupted the sobs then sounded the tone between the calls ended.
Raka was silent like a dazed person, her hand firmly grasping the phone in her hand, as if wanting to squeeze it into pieces.
Raka had never felt this much pain in her life, a pain that made her chest really feel tight.
Raka's head drooped on the back of the chair, her body completely limp trying to digest what she had just heard.
Trying to sort out all the things that are in his brain.
Why did Sally betray him in such a way. Didn't know Sally that what she had done, didn't just break her heart,
Raka's eyes feel hot, the more closed, the more painful. Raka knew he was a taboo man to shed tears but which man would not feel crushed if he experienced what he now felt.
Feeling the water seeping in the corner of her closed eyes, Raka rubbed it harshly. He hated the sense of helplessness that was now afflicting him.
He still hopes it's just a dream.
Gripped it roughly a bottle of beer, and gulped it down violently. His head feels heavy. Raka can't understand, what kind of love does Sally have for Bram, so she can do all this? Doesn't he think about the feelings of their parents, their families, the Bram household, the feelings of Bram's wife's children?
Especially now that even so straightforward she said, she was pregnant with Bram's child.
What kind of love can break many hearts for its own happiness.
Why is there such blind love in the world?
Raka took a heavy breath, trying to restore her sanity as for a while she felt like she was crazy with everything in her head. His feelings were mixed, there was pain, anger, confusion, disappointment, pity, hate, resentment there was even disgust for what Sally had done.
Raka admits that she was happy when she was with Sally. Does not feeling happiness with someone mean that we love that person? But had Sally not felt the same way about her all this time? Or has he been pretending to be happy with me?
Is that how bad our relationship has been, even I didn't realize it? all those questions struck his mind.
"Pak Raka.." a voice came to Raka's ear. Reluctantly opening the eyelids, with the head still drooping on the back of the chair. The sweet face of Riris, one of the cafe waiters who is very well known Raka smiled in front of him.
"Pak Raka, it's 12." he said in a hesitant tone. Raka closed her eyes again.
"In a moment, Ris.."sighs Raka.
He looked around, already deserted. Some of the other cafe waiters seemed to be busy as well. The cafe is only open until 12pm. Raka knows very well, because this is one of the cafes owned by Rudiat Wijaya Group. Raka's and Sally's father's.
"Call Dea, I'm not going home, I'm going to sleep on Mercury tonight." Raka said.
"Yes, sir." said Riris immediately.
He's never seen his boss so fucked up like tonight.
Riris calls Dea, Raka's assistant. Send the boss a message. Mercury Hotel is one of the hotel chains owned by Rudiat Wijaya Group. So her assistant just needed to call the hotel manager to book a room for Raka. The hotel was not too far from the cafe.
Raka really felt tired of body and soul. Tonight he doesn't want to go home, tonight he needs a place to calm his heart and think what to do?
The crazy idea of replacing Sally with sarah, which was only used as an option for a solution from the Sally family now really has to be thought about again.
Had Raka said she would consider it earlier at the house of Om Wijaya, actually just as long as to talk, just talk, he did not expect to actually do so because he still did not fully believe what he heard from Sarah and her family.
But now?
This choice becomes the most reasonable thing to do in this situation, if you want everything to be okay. If you want to save the cooperation of two of their families, let alone the shares of the Rudiat family in the group is currently only 35 percent. If Raka thought of herself, a group split would certainly happen and it would not benefit their family at all.
The marriage with the Wijaya family was the dream of his father from a long time ago. Moreover, his mother is now so weak due to a stroke and is still in recovery.
Raka really felt helpless, her happiness or her feelings were no longer the priority she had to think about. Many things he had to consider above the tempest he was now experiencing.
Now, Raka just has to reorganize her heart, releasing Sally from her mind and from her life. Sally, her first love and also the love she expected to be her last.
Raka must let go of all her dreams, because waiting for someone who does not want her is futile.
His phone is vibrating, a call from his assistant Dea. Raka grabbed it and stood up,
"Yes.hallo..."
"His room is ready, brother..."
Raka hung up the phone and moved.
Tonight, he has to make a decision.
