Being a Dad to My Niece
Chapter 55. Arga and Marsha's Secret Disclosed
Chapter 55
"Then, what about the Goddess?" ask Marsha.
Arga frowned as the woman who was his relative was called by Marsha. Of course, for her, the woman was not a special person in her life, let alone in her heart.
"The goddess is only my relative. Never in my heart was he" replied Arga.
Marsha was delighted to hear this. At least Arga will not respond to any attention from the Goddess.
"But, it seems like she likes it a lot Brother. Didn't you realize that?" ask Marsha.
The heart of this woman was still unsatisfied. He wanted Arga to convince his heart more.
"I don't care about any woman around me. Because all my attention is only on you" answered Arga still staring at the beautiful net of his ex-wife.
"I hold your words, brother. I'll give you one more chance later. If Big Brother hurts me again, then there will be no more chance of that" Marsha said as she held Arga's hand on her knee.
If Arga was going to hug Marsha when he was really happy. This time he had to hold back, because he knew Bagas was looking towards the two of them.

The goddess can't sleep tonight. The room he occupied was Sakti's. Some items have not been cleaned by Ayu or by the woman. Only new clothes in the closet are newly empty, because the Goddess really needs the closet to put the clothes.
He also sat at Sakti's study table. Lots of textbooks and general knowledge lined up neatly there. Majors taken by Sakti are different from the majors he took, but Dewi also understands a little with business science. The woman majored in agriculture while in college because she wanted to help the Wibowo family who had a very large vegetable plantation. He also often shared his knowledge with the workers there.
"What book is this?"
The Goddess took out a book that was stored in the drawer. He also opened one by one sheets of paper that read daily prayers.
"Sakti is indeed a diligent person," said Dewi with a thin smile.
The woman's eyes were rounded as she read the Sakti script which was like her diary. How surprised he was when he found out that Sakti had impregnated Marsha.
"Don't let the Alva be the son of the Sakti," said Dewi surmised.
The woman continued to read every piece of writing there. The goddess read everything written in the book overnight. Somehow he felt happy that Alva was not Arga's biological child.
"Now I know why they're both getting divorced. Turns out the marriage was to cover up Marsha's disgrace. Too bad Mas Arga was made a scapegoat to marry the crafty woman," said Dewi monologue.
"Tomorrow I will tell all this to Eyang," he murmured.
The goddess put the book back in the drawer. Then, he laid his body down with a happy feeling.

The presence of Arga in Barata's house in the morning makes people surprised. They don't know when this guy's coming.
"When are you coming back here?" ask Sari to her granddaughter.
"Every night, Eyang," answered Arga after kissing Sari's hand.
"Oh, it's appropriate that Eyang doesn't know," Sari said with a small laugh.
"Longs are like someone, Dad. Hence go straight home," Arga replied and made Barata and Ayu laugh.
"Did Marsha know you were coming home? You should have told your wife to stay here not at her parents' house. You came home here too. It's just weird that you two," said Sari.
The goddess noticed the three inhabitants of this house. He wanted to know how they reacted.
"Now I want to pick them up Eyang. Let Eyang feel at home playing with Alva," said Arga.

Dewi came to Sari who was sitting in the backyard of the house. The woman sat quietly to the old woman who had been taking care of her since she was a child. Of course this was not something strange for the two people.
"Eyang, do you know why Marsha's mother doesn't live in this house, but instead in her parents' house?" dewi asked in a whisper after convincing no one around them.
"Yes, maybe Marsha is more comfortable and comfortable living in her parents' house" replied Sari.
The old woman thought so because many wives chose to stay at her parents' house, when the husband worked out of town. As long as a wife can take care of herself and her honor, it doesn't matter. Although Sari was old, but she could still think of following the times.
In the past, after marriage a wife would live with her husband. If the husband goes away, the wife will stay at her in-laws' house. They will take care of her husband's parents as a sense of responsibility as a daughter-in-law.
"It is wrong to think like that" said Dewi.
"Well, whoa!" Sari doesn't understand.
"Actually Mas Arga and Marsha's mother are divorced" whispered the Goddess.
"What?" Sari was surprised.
Then, Dewi also told what he heard when the Marsha and Arga families spoke while in Surabaya. The woman continues to provoke Sari that Marsha is not a good woman.
"So, why don't they sleep in one place while in Surabaya because they just got divorced?"
It seemed that Sari was angry at the moment. He felt that he had been fooled by the family of his son and his ex-wife.
"Then, why did Ayu and Barata look ordinary. Even they treat Marsha well," continued Sari still did not understand.
"Is it because there's an Alva that Arga is connecting with Marsha?" added the old woman.
A faint smile appeared on the face of the Goddess. These were the moments he had been waiting to dismantle everything.
"Does anyone know that Alva is not Mas Arga's son?" The goddess again said something shocking to Sari.
"What's? What do you mean, Goddess?" Sari screamed loudly without her noticing.
