Marrying My Brother's Fiancee
EPISODE 54 CALMS THE STORM
Sarah's body trembled beside Raka. Her face was really tense and confused. The incident that just happened at his parents' house really shook him.
"Darling, we've arrived..." Raka opened the car door. They went back to Raka's apartment.
Raka and Sarah didn't talk much on the way. Sarah still seemed speechless and Raka did not want to disturb her with much talk.
Sarah just needs to calm herself down for a while, because what happened earlier certainly makes Sarah go awry.
A good husband certainly understands, when to be quiet and when to talk when the situation is in a hurry.
"What's my fault...?" Sarah hugged her knees, sat on the sofa with teary eyes.
Raka wrapped her hands around Sarah's shoulders and kissed her head fondly.
"You didn't do anything wrong, baby..." Said Raka softly.
"Why is this so? why is it all suddenly messed up like this?"
"It has nothing to do with us."
"But they asked you to come back..." Sarah bit her lips with a fear she could no longer hide.
"Sally..request your return..." Sarah seemed to be affirming it to herself.
"Listen to me..."Raka grabbed Sarah's chin and brought the grim face closer to her face.
"Nothing will change, I am your husband and remain so. I'll be next to you, they like it or not!"
Sarah literally barely blinked looking at Raka, as if looking for what she needed to hold on.
"But they will compel me to do it again, for I am bound to return the favor all my life for the mercy that has taken me. I have to pay, they always ask me to pay..."Sarah's tears were dripping unstoppable.
"Dear, don't worry. I'll pay with you, if they ask for the price of their generosity in the past."
"What if they ask you, back to Sally...?"
Raka looked at Sarah for so long, then slowly wiped away Sarah's tears.
"Didn't you say you believed me. I am not something that can be given and returned at will. Whatever happens, I'm not leaving you, baby."
"Although Sally is like that?"
"Sally was like that, out of her own will. We don't have to feel guilty for something that's not our fault."
"You haven't been touched by Sally's suffering?"
"Darling...! Can you stop always connecting my feelings with your sister. Yes, he was once my past, but I really don't care anymore about anything that happened to him!" Raka's voice was slightly raised.
"But he said, he loves you..."
"He's losing his sanity, words like that aren't really in his consciousness."
"What if he really loves you?"
Raka removed her arm from Sarah's shoulder, the face was suddenly so cold that it almost seemed like it was going to freeze.
"The one who truly loves will never betray. Either I've been fooled or I've been fooling myself for so long, so I can be in a circle of falsehood for so long. If you're just wondering, if if because Sally really has feelings for me then I'll turn away from you, then you're wrong..."Raka looked straight at the wall in front of her.
"I admit, I was heartbroken when he died. Which man does not feel his pride destroyed if the woman he trusted ran away with other men?
But, Sally's regret won't make me turn into the same traitor that she was.
I, promised you, have been your husband all my life, and I will not deny it."Raka turned her face, at Sarah who was looking at him with a puffy face.
"You really love me?"Sarah blinked her eyes at Raka with her knees still propping up her chin.
"Yes.I love you, Sarah. Ilove you. I love you so much!" Raka hugged Sarah and kissed her forehead.
"My wife, baby, don't be afraid anymore. There's me..." His whisper was soft in Sarah's ear. With the feeling of Sarah hugging Raka's neck, her tears spilled again. Raka kissed Sarah's wet eyes, trying to understand every inch of his wife's anxiety.
She wanted Sarah to feel she had no reason to fear anything else, with her presence.
"Darling..did you hear anything?"Suddenly Raka put her index finger on Sarah's lips.
"Don't you hear the sound of my starving stomach?"Raka scowled with annoyed pias.
Sarah could not help but smile at the look of her husband.
"We haven't eaten anything since this afternoon." Raka protested.
Sarah glanced at the wall clock, it was past ten in the evening. It was late enough to go out for food.
"Go take a shower, I'll make something for you." Raka moved with a grin.
"I don't have any clothes here to change..."Sarah said she first got Raka into her apartment today, after coming home from Lila and Edgar this afternoon. So no one brought clothes. All the suitcases of their clothes when they returned from Leiden were at Raka's parents' house.
"I have a lot of books, which one you wear..." Raka answered with a cry.
Sarah looked up to herself, looking at Raka who was leisurely walking towards the small kitchen next to the room.
But the sultry and uncomfortable feeling made Sarah finally move to the bathroom in Raka's room. Flushing her body with warm water from the shower was really comfortable.
Sarah unloads Raka's closet, and is confused herself. All men's clothes.
Then he took a white hem shirt from the hanger. Wearing it like a drunken negligee.
Raka appears at the door, fascinated for a moment by Sarah's appearance.
"Why? Ugly?" Sarah was twitching her lips, while pecking herself.
"Don't baby, you're sexy like that..."Raka blinked her eyes and placed a tray containing one large bowl of instant noodles complete with plucked eggs on it on a small table beside the bed.
"Tomorrow I'll call Dea to bring you a shirt. Now we eat first." Raka rubbed her palm with satisfaction.
Raka pushed the big bowl to Sarah who was sitting on the bedside.
"Darling, don't think you're the only one who can cook. I'm the master, too."Raka said arrogantly.
Sarah almost laughed when she heard it.
"The master chef's time is instant noodles." Sarah laughs. Raka smiled looking at his cheerful returning wife.
"What matters is that we have dinner tonight. War needs energy, baby..."
"War?"
"Don't pretend to forget, you promised, there's another war tonight."
Sarah pinched Raka's stomach with anxiety.
"That's all in your head..."
"I'm just gonna make a promise."Raka says, cuek.
"But why is there only one bowl of noodles?" Sarah frowned, while stirring the noodles in the bowl.
"That's two servings dear, let's not bother washing dishes, so just make one bowl." Raka reasoned, which made Sarah completely laugh.
"We both ate in one bowl, saving package."
"The spoon is just one?"
"And you can feed me, dear..the time needs a spoon of ten?"
Sarah laughed with Raka's pompous attitude.
Raka looked at his wife's face in relief, feeling she had managed to calm the storm in Sarah's heart.
The distress of today, enough for today, tomorrow will have its own distress. At least, today they could get through one problem even though it might not really be over yet.
