Marrying My Brother's Fiancee
EPISODE 9 OF THE COVENANT UNDER THE STARS
Sarah sits in the hotel rooftop. Look at the night sky and enjoy a glass of hot cappuccino.
Her hair was like a strand of black silk fluttering gently rhythmically in the night wind. More beautiful under the reflection of dimly lit lights.
Sarah clasped her hands on her chest, as if seeking the warmth of a maroon sweater attached to her slender body.
Tonight was bright, the stars were emitting brilliant light, truly a beautiful sight.
I don't know when it came, in front of Sarah has sat Raka. With a flat and cold face romance. Sarah looked at him no less flatly, this guy is really weird. In an instant it can come and go, and in an instant it has changed its attitude.
From the afternoon he disappeared, somewhere. He said he took his parents to their room, and then he didn't come back. And now it appeared suddenly with clothes that were already different from the time of his departure. Maybe go back to her apartment or go home to her parents.
Sarah actually did not take a headache, wherever Raka went she did not care, even more calm when Sarah was alone. No one disturbed the view. And he didn't feel awkward doing anything in the room.
"Have you eaten?" the question that came out of Raka's lips, felt once only stale.
Since when does she need to know about Sarah's life?
"Had" answered Sarah short.
"My attitude this morning, no need to be taken heart" said Raka later
Sarah knows she's looking for him just to get this straight. But at the very least, he could have been more compassionate, starting the conversation by apologizing to Sarah for her brash attitude this morning.
" I know.." said Sarah indifferently.
"Don't think, I really did it because I had feelings for you. All this just to convince my parents, especially mom..."
"I know!" Sarah cuts with a brush.
This man, too arrogant to consider himself so tall. Even when she was supposed to apologize to Sarah, she kept trying to make Sarah feel inferior.
Raka was silent, staring at Sarah for a moment. In the dim light of the lights under the sky tonight, the girl in front of him was like a goddess looking at him with fury, her eyes glistening sharply.
"Good then." Raka threw her face away, throwing a look down.
The atmosphere of the city is so vibrant with lights from tall buildings, houses and vehicles passing by down there.
"Everything I talked about, absolutely nothing really matters." Raka said coldly. Her flat face made Sarah really upset.
"I know and at least I'm more self-conscious than you! I'm just a wife on paper! So I never once considered all your attitudes to be the truth, are you satisfied?" sarah's tone was dry and bitter as she asked the question.
Raka silently did not reply, her face ice-cold. The atmosphere became tense. For a moment they both did not speak. Trying to keep his heart tight.
"I just don't want you to misunderstand me. I've never been interested in you. Not a bit."
raka's voice became rather cautious, he did not want to cloud the atmosphere between the two of them.
"Don't blame me for misunderstanding if you repeat back carelessly hugging me for no reason in front of your parents" sighed Sarah.
"I'll misunderstand if you're being rude to me as you please.I must have misunderstood you and thought you were crazy!"and Sarah again.
Raka knew the direction Sarah meant, the girl objected to Raka's attitude this morning.
"You should get used to that in front of my parents"
"But at least you can talk first, what will you behave like. You made me look like a fool, in front of your parents" Sarah protested.
Sarah did not reply, she felt no need to argue anymore with this heartless human.
No matter what wrong he made, he would not apologize for his mistake.
Like it or not, Sarah can only take it.
"I'll live in my apartment, you live in your apartment. Every weekend we go to my parents' house. Just like that. Until I leave for Leiden next month"
"I have the right to touch you in front of my parents, just to convince them our relationship is fine" Raka said.
"You got a lover?" ask Raka suddenly
"You think I'm too ugly to have a boyfriend?" Sarah asked back in annoyance.
What kind of question is that? There wouldn't be a fake marriage if she had a boyfriend. Perhaps Raka would not dare to be careless like this to her, if anyone defended her.
And of course, Sarah would never have followed this charade if someone really loved her.
"I will not forbid you from having sex with your lover and you cannot forbid me if I have contact with other women" Raka said.
"It's best, because my boyfriend will beat you up if you forbid me to meet him." Sarah said tightly.
"You are free to do anything, but be careful not to ruin my good name as your husband in front of the crowd. Do not let our lives be exposed by the media and become public consumption"
Sarah was silent not responding, she just needed to hear. He protested in vain.
The silent atmosphere between the two of them, Raka silently observed the beautiful face in front of her, so naive and resigned, but stubborn. He didn't say much, as if he just wanted to keep things to himself.
In the middle, the dimness of the light above the building, the strands of her hair were blown by the night breeze, like a silhouette. Against the backdrop of the starry sky, Sarah is like a painting.
His silent attitude was like a display. Sarah simply complied with all of Raka's requests, even though she did not want them.
"And one thing to remember, until we get a good divorce, we will not sleep together" with his cold face that makes Sarah upset, Raka said.
"You think I want to sleep with you!"
sarah Sawhut is angry.
"I think we're already in the deal! if there's nothing important to talk about, I'll go in" Sarah said as she stood up.
Raka did not budge from where she sat, looking at the sky above, as if he did not hear the words that Sarah uttered.
Sarah moved with a sour face towards the room. He will sleep first, it's up to Raka to sleep where, it's not his business. They had already made an agreement, although it could be said to be more of a unilateral agreement based on Raka's instructions alone.
Most importantly Raka would not interfere with her life. That's enough.
After Sarah died, Raka was still sitting quietly in the chair where she sat.
Staring at the sky above with a gamang, actually he pityed Sarah but Raka did not want to look weak in front of Sarah.
No one should know how hurt his heart is right now. Which man will be left behind by his loved one on his wedding day?
He not only lost his love but also his pride.
