YOUR TOUCH I WANT - EPISODE 34

Rei has already bought a house in Alina’s name. The house is not far from downtown A. Rei deliberately chose a place near his office. So that Rei’s reach is not too far if Alina needs it. Rei always attaches importance to Alina. Rei never cared about him at all. Even though there are so many rich and beautiful girls who want to be with him. But he still maintains his love only for Alina and Alina.

After a while they arrived at a large, bone-white house. The yard is very beautiful, in front of it there is a pond and also some flowers that are neatly arranged. The car stopped and he opened the door for the two couples “Please ladies and gentlemen”. Said the driver named ‘Jupri’.

His age is around 35 years. Mr. Jupri is Rei’s personal driver whom he really trusts. After that Rei and Alina got out of the car. When Rei took Alina’s hand again for the umpteenth time. Alina didn’t care about that at all. Instead, she walked into the house.

Rei smiled again and looked at his hands. He also followed Alina’s steps. Arriving inside, she noticed that all the contents of the house were decorated with some of the works that Alina really liked. She smiled bitterly. Rei then showed all the contents of the house he bought, “Look at Alina, do you like this house? I purposely bought this house especially for you. And also I asked the architect to change some designs according to your liking, this is all I dedicate to you, Alina”.

“I’m not at all interested in this house. Even if you gave me the heavens and the earth with everything in it. It won’t be able to change my feelings for you. Remember that, you better just give up. Don’t force yourself to keep doing good. Please Rei I beg you to respect my decision. I only see you as my friend, nothing more.” Said Alina firmly. Again without Alina realizing her words had broken Rei’s heart. But Rei was patient.

“I understand Alina. For now I will never force you to love me. But please respect all my sacrifices”.

“Stop Rei. I don’t want to discuss all this. For this house I will not accept it. Give your love to a woman who loves you. I just feel sorry for you. I’m not disrespectful, I just want you to be happy with a woman who loves you too” .

“Who said I’m not happy. In fact I’m very happy to marry you. Until whenever I will still love you”.

“Whatever” Alina immediately left Rei just like that. She didn’t have time to take off her makeup. Alina then went out into the backyard. There Alina sat pensive “Why, my God!! Why did all this happen to me. I hate all of this” Alina screamed hysterically. She ruffled her hair into a mess like crazy.

“I hate all this. I don’t want to live, I just want to die”. Alina screamed hysterically again.

Her voice reached Rei’s ears, “Alina” Rei said. He immediately looked for Alina’s place and Rei saw Alina as tormented. Rei can’t bear it, Rei intends to take Alina to go home. But Rei thought of his parents. Rei doesn’t want to disappoint Alina’s parents and their parents.

This position made Rei feel like he was cornered. Forward hit and hit back. So Rei was confused, he was even more tormented. Rei wanted to approach Alina, but he doubted himself. Afraid that Alina would run away.

Rei then turned around, wiping his tears. His love for Alina is very sincere. Rei’s expression was complicated, he couldn’t even say anything else. Rubs the chest because it feels tight. Like something went wrong. It messed up Rei’s mind. Newlyweds instead of sharing, quite the opposite. Enjoy the sadness that is in him.

Evening.

They received many gifts from invited guests. Usually the evening is the most suitable time to open gifts. But this bride didn’t, instead they were silent, no one spoke.

Rei sat across from Alina, enjoying the atmosphere of this evening which was full of anxiety. Alina’s eyes swelled up, making Rei feel even more devastated. He then got up from his seat leaving Alina sitting alone.

Seeing Rei’s steps, Alina tried to stop him. There is a sense of prestige that makes Alina not do that. Rei unwittingly handed her a towel, and that made Alina surprised, “Take a shower and get some rest. I’ll prepare dinner first”. Rei said in a soft voice. Rei never uttered harsh words.

With a heavy heart Alina took the towel, she then went to the bathroom without further ado. After that Rei went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. Incidentally in the refrigerator Rei did not prepare anything. There are only eggs and white bread.

Rei was forced to cook what was there. Rei also prepared high protein milk for Alina. It didn’t take long for Rei to finish preparing dinner as is. By lighting a candle on a round table.

Alina has also finished bathing. She dried her hair with a small towel. Alina looks fresher than before, her face is wrinkled and her eyes are puffy. Rei then went knocking on Alina’s door, “Dinner is ready”. Rei said.

“Don’t come in, I need to change first.” Alina shouted from inside.

“Yeah I’m not in. I just want to invite you to eat”. Rei said softly.

“Yes thank you”. Said Alina.

“Okay. I’ll wait for you in the dining room”. After that Rei left Alina’s room with a listless and disheveled face. There was shame in Rei’s heart because Alina’s voice could clearly be heard when she was scared.

Rei just sat waiting while playing with his hands on the candle. Feel the heat of the fire. It was sick too. He is still waiting with a restless heart, Alina hasn’t come yet.

“Could it be that he doesn’t want to come out?” Rei thought.

The sound of footsteps sounded soft, Rei’s ears immediately became observant. Rei’s eyes widened when he saw Alina’s footsteps. Rei’s heart skipped a beat.

Without further ado, Alina sat right in front of Rei. Rei ready to serve Alina immediately dinner, “Sorry Alina, because there is nothing in the refrigerator. So I can only prepare it as it is. But if you want to eat something else I will buy it for you”.

“This is enough. Thank you”. Alina only spoke a few words. After that she was silent while enjoying dinner.

Rei knew his limits, so he didn’t talk too much either. His attention was too excessive, “Alina, Don’t forget to drink milk. Because it’s good for your health”.

“Good”.

Rei then cut the white bread in front of her. Slowly he put it in his mouth. Rei chewed very slowly. Two slices of white bread had entered their respective stomachs. You can see that they are both energetic.

“After this, where do you want to sleep?” Rei asked hesitantly.

Alina was silent thinking “I want to sleep in the middle room. Anyway, I don’t want to be in the same room as you”. Said Alina in a firm voice.

Rei didn’t expect this. Even though Rei had already imagined that he would sleep beside Alina. With eyes closed. Rei wanted to stroke Alina’s hair. Rei wanted to pamper Alina like a normal husband and wife.

But his hopes were dashed. It turned out that Alina was so cruel that she asked herself to separate from the bed. “Aren’t we legally husband and wife?” Obviously Rei.

“Legal in the eyes of people, not in a real relationship”.

“Then what is the meaning of the marriage we are holding. Why do you hate me that much, Alina. What should I do so you can accept me like you accept Danendra? Alina, answer?”. This time Rei was really emotional with Alina’s requirements.

“Didn’t I explain at length from the start. Until then I will never love you. For now and forever. Because my heart is dead buried with Danendra’s body”.

Alina said that with a very scary expression. Her eyes seemed to light up. Her gaze scared Rei for a moment. Alina leaned forward, as if she was challenging Rei. This time Rei was speechless. He only felt heartache. His chest felt tight, it was hard to breathe. He cannot force his will. Because everything is already done.

For Rei, Alina’s mouth is very sharp, she can easily say that she doesn’t love him. While he desperately fights for his love. Rei is also on the verge of confusion, because how long will he be living a bitter life like this.

“Okay, if that’s what you want. I will agree to it. And for matters of feelings, I will not force you to love me anymore. Now it all depends on you. But I only hope that you will acknowledge me as your legal husband, and ask for something more”. Rei’s voice sounded uninspired.

“I’ll think about it. Then I’ll go to my room first.” after that Alina left Rei just like that. Without guilt. Alina is really a selfish and stubborn girl.

Even Alina should be the one cleaning up the food, it’s actually the other way around. Rei was silent a thousand languages, he remembered all the words of Alina earlier.

“You have to be spirit. You can’t be weak, remember this is all your wish. So you have to prove that you can make Alina fall in love with you”. Rei thought. He encouraged himself because at this time Rei was alone, and had no friends to confide in.

Enjoying the night in silence like an overseas child in the middle of the forest without anyone, and feeling lonely in the crowd. It turns out that making people fall in love is not easy. There will be a heart that is always hurt when feelings are not appreciated.

Both of Rei’s eyes continued to pay attention to the middle room that Alina was staying in tonight. Without even blinking, Rei seemed to want to say something but he didn’t arrive. Because the living room is directly translucent from the dining room.

Alina Sitting cross-legged on the bed holding her chin, and tears falling down her cheeks.
