Missing In The Heart
Chapter 36.Staring at dusk.

The sky was bright, the breeze of the sea blew slowly scattering the scent of the sea. The waves stall each other.

They all spent time at sea. Walk around the island by boat. Through the Mangrove forest, a type of mangrove forest filled with dicot plants that live in brackish water and sea water habitats.

Little talk was going on between them, as they seemed to be too busy with their own thoughts.

Rachel who sat sweetly beside the mahavir chose silence because she felt badmood for Dirga's treatment of him this morning, while occasionally glancing at Bryan and Rey who were turning their backs on each other. Staring at the two was suspicious, because the faces of both of them were covered in bruises in several parts.

Although Rachel repeatedly asked, the answers were both the same and compact.

It's 'Because it fell!'.

Like this morning at breakfast, Rachel started a conversation...

"Rey what's your face?"

"Oh, last night I fell in front of Miss Rachel..." Kill Rey bowed.

"Fall down? Why is it so bad for Bryan? You guys fighting?"

"No, brother, last night we fell together in front because it was dark." Bryan defended as well with his head bowed.

"Yes they fell, I testified." Raya also chimed in. It was as if they had one voice hiding something from her, making Rachel even more arrogant and reluctant to talk again to the three of them.

"Vir, what are they?" Rachel whispered in Mahavir's ear in the end, trying to figure it out with high curiosity.

"They're who?"

"Bryan, Raya and Rey."

"Have you asked them directly?"

Rachel nodded, her eyes rounded asking for an explanation from Mahavir. But instead of giving an explanation, Mahavir just smiled and drowned Rachel in his arms. "Don't interfere with their problems, just focus on our relationship" he whispered later. Mahavir's breath even sounded soft in Rachel's ears, which inexplicably made Rachel fall silent back with red cheeks blushing.

Bryan and Rey, who now turn their backs, were also preoccupied with their memories last night. Rey who contemplated the mistake of having gone out of control scolded Raya, and Bryan who pondered the incident with Raya in the room last night.

While Raya had been continuously staring at the intimacy of Rachel and Mahavir. Many times Raya patted her cheeks, not believing what she was witnessing. He is still shocked by the fact that Mahavir is Dirman. It's very ironic, the person Rachel hates so much that it makes her fragile even become her husband. He is very confused and he will do what is going to happen in the future. Like simalakama fruit, honest to Rachel wrong, co-hiding the secret is also very wrong.

Meanwhile, unnoticed by the others, Mahavir and Dirga sat with each other. Although Aretha had been in the arms of Dirga, but his eyes could not be separated from Mahavir and Rachel. I don't know what's on his mind. But Mahavir was well aware of that, so Mahavir clenched Rachel and blocked Dirga's view. Showing her power and ownership rights to Rachel.

Only Aretha who occasionally chattered explained what they were going through. The rest of the situation returned to silence with thoughts that occupied their minds, until their boats re-attached to the beach where their Villa was located.

That afternoon, Rachel and Raya relax on the beach. Actually, Aretha invited them to swim, but Rachel was not allowed to wear a bikini by Mahavir, or rather because the marks made by Mahavir under his neck and around his collarbone made him embarrassed to show off his body. And finally choose to relax on Hammock which is available on the beach with Raya.

"Ra, Bryan and Rey fought last night, didn't they?" Rachel asked Raya once more.

Raya snorted, how many times did Rachel ask the same question. "Rachel... You can't ask the others..."

"I have no other questions for you..." Said Rachel brushing her long hair in the wind. His eyes focused on Mahavir, who was focusing on talking to Rey from a distance.

"Rachel...."

"What?"

"You love him?" Raya pointed at Mahavir using her tail.

"Stupid question...!!" Rachel refused to answer.

"Rachel I seriously asked. Yesterday you said it was still a seal, it means that you are the same Mahavir yet.....?"

Rachel sighed softly, her two eyeballs constantly monitoring the movements of Mahavir who was seen walking towards her. "Where's yah... If you say love is not yet, I still have difficulty opening my heart. And maybe that's why I still can't get to that stage."

"But you look friendly with him, I see you don't shy away or refuse every time you're with him."

"I'm also confused, sometimes I feel comfortable with him. He's so gentle and caring that it keeps me from picking."

"Hmmm.... Rachel, don't you think Mahavir looks like someone?" Doubtful Raya asked a tripping question. In his current position, he had to find out.

"Who does Vir look like?" Rachel frowned, trying to remember.

"Emm..." Raya rubbed her index finger on her lower lip. "If it is noticed more clearly he is very exactly with...."

"Who?"

"Emmm, de.with... Um... Dirmann." Hesitatingly answered.

"Hush, don't fuck Ra!! Judging from wherever they were there was no resemblance at all." Rachel said with a slight tremble. At first glance, Rachel's face looks incomprehensible to Raya. Making Raya back sigh slowly.

Mahavir and Rey approached them. Mahavir glanced at Raya, as if asking 'What did you say to Rachel'. Raya quickly turned her face away and even met Rey.

"Raya I'd like to talk to you for a second!" Rey immediately pulled Raya's hand. Raya jumps down from the hanging swing, following Rey away from Mahavir and Rachel. After a few steps, Rey let go of her grip.

"Sorry, I just saved you from Mahavir's interrogation. Control yourself, don't make the plan fall apart!" Rey warned, then stepped away from the Kingdom without turning around at all. Raya follows behind with a strange feeling, there is a slight sense of tightness that she feels over Rey's treatment that turns cold.

While from a distance, Rachel stared at the departure of Raya and Rey.

"What was it that Raya was talking about until she misbehaved?" Mahavir approached Rachel who was sitting on a hanging swing made of woven rope. Then pulled Rachel's chin to turn around and look at her.

"Secret!" Rachel replied with a smile.

"Clearly talking about me?" Guess Mahavir. "If you don't answer I'll kiss you."

"Try it if you dare!" Rachel raised both eyebrows, defiant. There's no way she would kiss him in such a public place.

Mahavir lowered his head, grabbed the hair that was flying over Rachel's face and quickly kissed Rachel's lips at a glance. Makes Rachel gasp.

"How, still not answering? or do I want to continue?" Mahavir came back to his face.

Rachel pushed Mahavir's body, "What the hell, there's a lot of people." Say it while covering her lips with the back of her hand.

"Oh, does that mean that it's quiet?"

"Mom.. It's not that." Give Rachel a bent eyebrow. Sighs for a moment. "I.that's...It just says you look like someone."

"Who?"

"He's... Her.. Dirmann." Rachel turned her face away, staring at the blue sea. The look on his cherry face instantly turned into a wistful one. "He's a man who...." Rachel's speech came to a halt as Mahavir's index finger stuck to her lips.

"Don't continue..." Mahavir pulled his finger and moved to hold Rachel's hand.

"You think I look like him?" Mahavir pulled both of Rachel's hands and pressed them against her left and right cheeks.

"Well, it's not like. Judging from wherever you are far different."

"Because I'm more handsome? Much richer?" Mahavir tries to compare. "If we look similar, how?"

"What's how?"

"If we look like you still like me or not?"

"That's...Ge-er, do you think I like you now?"

"It's not, is it?"

Rachel turned her face away from Mahavir, looked at him with her eyes narrowed, then shook her head. "No crap!!"

"What's right....?" Mahavir asked in a made-up sensual tone.

Rachel pushed Mahavir's body and ran small towards the sea. His tongue stuck out mocking Mahavir.

"Mahavir Alister's.....Don't ge-er, I never liked you...!!!" Shouted Rachel with a chuckle.

"Oh, that's it. Oh, look at you....." Mahavir came running after Rachel who was getting away.

"Geek!! Just try to catch me..." Shouted Rachel by continuing to run away from Mahavir.

"So if I get caught, I won't let go. I'll make you like me so much that you're crazy about me...!!"

Rachel stuck out her tongue again.

And there was a chase activity.

Mahavir and Rachel continue to chase until they get into the water and Rachel falls because of a small wave. With agile Mahavir jumped up and pulled Rachel's waist.

"I GOT YOU...!!!" Mahavir shouted as he caught Rachel's body.

"Hoshis.. Hosh..." Rachel's breathless voice rang out among the sound of the waves. His body was swept away in Mahavir's arms due to running fatigue. The same thing was experienced by Mahavir. Heart beats are both too irregular."

"Say... Tell me you don't like me?" Mahavir said in a stammer because his breathing was not normal.

"I.hosh...L'm... I wasn't..." Rachel's stammering speech came to a halt as Mahavir instantly silenced her mouth with a demanding kiss. The salty taste of sea water and the sweet taste of Mahavir's mouth mixes into one tickle of his taste senses. When Mahavir will explore further, the waves come and hit their bodies. Rachel pushed hard on Mahavir's body, but Mahavir instead pulled his body and took him to the edge.

Mahavir threw his body lying on the white sand without releasing his grip so that Rachel also lay on his arm. Both Rachel and Mahavir tried hard to normalize her breathing.

The two of them looked at the sky that was starting to change color. Dissolved in the beauty of the twilight panorama that stretches wide on the horizon. But before the sun completely dimmed, Mahavir lifted his body from a position lying on the sand.

"Let's go back to the villa." Mahavir extended his hand to Rachel.

Rachel woke up, but was still sitting. "Stage, the sun is about to set. Let's see Sunset first huh?"

Mahavir. "I don't want to see Sunset with you...."

Rachel frowned, but still received Mahavir's hand. "Why?"

Mahavir pulled the hand of Rachel who had held him, making him stand up. As Rachel stood up with her agile Mahavir turned her back to Rachel, slightly bent down and pulled Rachel's hands around her neck until Rachel's body fell on her back. Mahavir's two hands then moved to pull Rachel's legs until coiled around her waist. And 'HUP' Rachel successfully carried her.

"Vir, albatross...." Rachel patted Mahavir on the shoulder, asking to be taken down.

"If you don't want me to carry you, you have to carry me! How's it?"

"Rules from where?" Ketus Rachel's.

"Rules of Mahavir Alister!"

"Don't Ngasal yah..."

"Well, already. I'm coming down, but you're the one carrying me." Mahavir let go of his grip. Makes Rachel tighten her grip on Mahavir's neck. Mahavir smiled with satisfaction. "If you don't want to get down, don't move much, you're heavy!"

"BUKK" Rachel hits Mahavir's back.

"Awww, sick!! If I'm sick you'll be hard later..." Mahavir. Stop for a moment, fix his sling, then step back. Rachel snorted in the back.

"Why don't you want to see Sunset with me?" Rachel frowned confusedly. Aren't people vying to see Sunset? Why does he not want to? Something seems to be wrong with his brain. Rachel was rhetoric in her mind.

Mahavir turned around at a glance to see the confused face of his wife who was actually very adorable.

"Hmmm... You know that Sunset is a sunset?"

"I know, so?"

"Most people stare at Sunset with their partners it's a romantic thing, but to me it's not so."

Rachel is confused. "Why?"

"The sun that dims and finally goes out is the same as a farewell. While dusk is orange like a longing. They will only meet at one time. Same with you. I always wanted to meet even though I had to wait first. That's why I don't want to stare at dusk with you, because I want to be with you all the time."

Rachel fell silent at Mahavir's words. His chin he dropped on the recess of Mahavir's neck which was still wet from the sea water.

"Mainly also this man stringed up the words..." Inner Rachel.

Again a smile spread on Mahavir's face.

"How about you Mrs.Mahavir? Do you want to be with me at all times? For the rest of your life? Accompany me until I'm old?"

Rachel was still speechless, her two lips tightly clenched.

"I am waiting for your answer madam...."

"CUP" Rachel kissed Mahavir's cheek, "We'll see..." She slowly hid her face deeper into Mahavir's neck.

"My neck is not in****well..it feels salty...!!" mahavir cananda.

Hearing that Rachel immediately raised her head. "What?? dalurin no? alight!!!!" he shouted while hitting Mahavir's back to be free from his carrier.

Rachel immediately ran forward, turned around sticking out her tongue and then came back running far away leaving Mahavir who was pecking at her chest.
