“Why? Didn't we meet tomorrow?”, Sarah answered a phone call from her ex-husband, Arya.
“I want us to meet now, tomorrow I have an appointment.”, replied Arya. Sarah felt there was a difference in tone from Aryan's tone. But he couldn't guess the reason.
“But..”, replied Sarah doubtfully.
“You just say, where are you. I'll catch up with you.”
“Arya, but I'm out of town.”
“Where? I'll catch up with you there?”
“You? Where are you now?”, replied the voice across.
“I'm at home.”
“Then, you want to follow me here? Your wife?”
“He's not home. Just tell me where.”
“H.. I'm in town A, it took you three hours to get here.”
“Quiet only.”
“Good. You can meet me at hotel A, room number 505. I wait for your arrival.”, replied Sarah while closing her phone.
Sarah's confused. During this time, Arya always refused when invited to meet before finally making a deal to meet tomorrow.
But, why did Arya even want to meet him today. Even when Sarah says she will meet in her room, Arya agrees.
“Who Sar?”, heard the voice of the male baritone who also stayed with him that day in the hotel room.
“Arya.”, replied Sarah briefly while putting her phone back on the table.
The man approached Sarah and hugged her from behind.
“You are still in touch with your ex-husband?”, asked the man who this time has continued to kiss the nape of the back of Sarah.
“Not your business.”
“Why? You still love her? Didn't you say he wasn't good in bed?”
“Just do what you want.”, Sarah said while giving the man access to do more on her.
“I'm just curious. Lately I've seen you check your phone a lot. You also often come in contact with a man named Edo. Who her? Your new boyfriend?”
“You asked a lot, yes.”, replied Sarah.
This time they moved to the bed in the room. Before, Sarah had only let the man do what he wanted. However, at the moment it seems like the man's treatment is getting a welcome from Sarah.

Meanwhile….
Arya pressed the 5th button as soon as she got inside the elevator. He could no longer play with Sarah and hurt her feelings more deeply. Arya had suffered enough for three years. Maybe from the beginning, he shouldn't have had a relationship with Sarah.
Arya only hopes that the real problem that triggered the rift in her household is not because Sarah wants a child from her, but other problems. Arya doesn't want to hurt more people.
“Mama you always ask me to get pregnant, Arya. You know how I feel?”
“Sar, we can try checking to hospital.”
“Create what? The problem is clear. You never were for me. You never want to be the same - trying to have children. The problem is in you, not me.”
“Terus do you want me how? I've asked you to check with the doctor. If there's a problem with our fertility, the doctor can help, Sar. We can try pregnant program, baby tube program, anything.”
“Neg. We're divorced.”
“What? Sar, you don't just talk.”, Arya was surprised to hear Sarah's statement like a lightning strike.
“I'm tired of waiting for you. I'm tired of struggling with your busyness. I'm tired of your family who until now never accepted me. Did you ever ask me to talk? Has Ibas ever been just a stale base to me? Never was.”
*“Sar, all need process.” *
*“There is no adaptation process that is up to three years. They hate me for things I don't know. I love you, Arya. But I can't keep this up. I want us to divorce.”, Sarah took her bag and moved to the apartment door. *
“Sar, Sarah, listen to me first. Honey, we can talk about this well. Sar, you can't leave me like this. Sar, please. Where are you going?”
“...”, Sarah does not budge. He puts his shoes out of the apartment and leaves Arya who can only be silent at the door of the apartment.
“What's all because of Dimas?”, Arya's remark made Sarah stop her steps.
“Are you guys back in a relationship behind me?”, Arya said with a sliced look.
“What do you mean?
“I forgot what happened at MIT that time because I love you. Am I wrong to pull you back into my life?”
“Dimas has nothing to do with problems in our household.”, stressed Sarah.
“She has always been Sar, she has always been a shadow in our household.”
“Terasu. If you think so. I go.”, said Blood firmly.
Arya remained silent. He didn't see any lies in Sarah's eyes. He let the woman go.
Along the elevator, the shadow of her divorce and Sarah recollects. That night, for the first time they had a big fight. This has been going on since the last few months of their marriage. But that night was like the peak.
The elevator took Arya to the 5th floor of the hotel. Without hesitation, Arya immediately turned left towards room 505. Arya pressed the button a few times.
Arya pressed the button again several times because the door was also not opened. Sarah finally opened the door. Sarah could not hide her surprised face.
He walked out and closed the door quickly.
“Don't you say you're home?”, Sarah's out of the room wearing only hotel slippers and a white kimono towel. His hair he let loose.
“Long time no see, Sar. Can we talk inside?”, said Arya coldly.
Arya was about to step forward, but Sarah held him by the hand. Arya is not flinching.
“Why? You call me often to talk, right? Let's talk now. I wonder if any of us should talk about.”
“Arya, you wait here for a while, I'll change my clothes and we'll talk below.”
“Why? Isn't this what you wanted? I'm approaching you. We might spend the night talking about what you want to talk about until you ask Edo.”
“Arya... Arya..”, Sarah keeps trying to block Arya.
However, Arya quickly retrieves the access card held by Sarah and opens the door. He forced his way in and did not forget to pull Sarah's arm to come with him inside.
Before long a man wearing a kimono came out of the room. Arya had already imagined this in her head when she saw Sarah accidentally in the lower lobby with a man.
But he still did not think it turned out that his shadow was like the reality he saw now.
“Looks like I interrupted your time.”, Arya gave a sharp look at Sarah after staring at the man.
Arya had just wanted to move outside the hotel room, but this time Sarah held her back.
“Arya, Arya, I can clear. Plis, don't go.”, said Sarah pulling Arya's arm.
“When, can plis give us a room for a moment?”, Sarah turned to the man who was with her and gave instructions for the man to come out.
The man went into the room, tidied up his clothes, and walked out of the hotel room without saying anything. Arya was silent. He tried to digest this with his common sense. But, he did not find an answer.
Sarah invited him to sit in a chair. At first Arya did not want to. But, Sarah pushed a little Aryan body to ask her to sit on the chair.
“Arya, I'm sorry.”
“Sorry? Make what?”
“Decent you.”
“Heh? Well, I’m leaving.”, Arya wants to move again from the chair. But Sarah quickly held him back.
“Arya, listen to me. I know you're still in love, aren't you?”, said Sarah half-screaming. He did it to keep Arya from leaving.
“...”, Arya looked at Sarah with a look of disbelief.
“You can explain, why did you come here? To this room? We'll make a deal tomorrow. And I don't know where you know I'm with anyone else in this room. Then you come - come like this. If not for you still love and care for me, then what?”
Arya seemed to be slapped by Sarah's words. He is difficult to admit it but anyone will see that Arya's current actions do make it look still care about Sarah. After all, they're divorced. Sarah's right to meet other men. Why should he behave like a husband who catches his wife cheating.
“Dia Dika's. My office partner.”
“I don't care.”
“You said you didn't care. But, you are here?”, Sarah sighed for a while before continuing her sentence.
“You misunderstood. He's just here to take a shower. He had to go to the airport this morning. It's a shame he had to book a hotel room. So, he took a shower here and left again. You saw that he had a suitcase, right?”, explained Sarah.
“Terasu. I don't care. Now, what do you want to talk about? I hope this is the last time we meet.”, said Arya.
“I want to explain a misunderstanding four months ago.”
“If you only want to explain my relationship with Dimas, I’m done, here.”
“That you saw that, Dika. The guy that just. Not Dimas. And there, not only me and Dika but also some other friends. And you misunderstood. Kissing you said? We did absolutely nothing. You are just looking from the wrong angle.”
“...”, Arya glares her glare at Sarah.
“Why did you not explain at that time?”, asked Arya after previously having been silent.
“You never gave me a chance. I'm so happy that you finally opened your heart to me again and wanted to meet. But who would have thought, we met accidentally and misunderstood. You're drunk, Arya. You saw it wrong. The man is not Dimas.”
“Originally you know, after MIT, I never got in touch with Dimas.” again, continued Sarah.
“What is it that you rejected me and received an arranged marriage from your parents?”
“My wedding, it has nothing to do with what I saw that night. I've heard enough of you. We have no relationship - what. I hope, this is the last time we meet.”
“Dinda, did you marry her because you did like her?”
“Not your business? I know you know it must be from Edo. But I know my marriage best. Not Edo.”
“I heard your conversation that night. After I called you, it looks like you forgot to close it.”
‘Sh*t’, Aryan bath.
“You haven't slept together despite being married for months?”
“I'm not interested in answering or discussing it. I go,”, Arya is already standing, but again - again Sarah pulls Arya's arm.
“You're sure the girl didn't play you?”
“Do not know you, Sarah.”
“I love you, so I want to give you one suggestion. Don't be fooled by such a girl. You think there are women who just want to be betrothed to a man who has been married and divorced just like that?”
“My household, none of your business.”
“If she keeps refusing to have contact with you, there must be something she is hiding.”, Sarah pulls Arya's arm so that the man turns to her.
“Who can know that she really is a virgin. Maybe he doesn't want to hook up with you because he's afraid of being caught.”
“Jaga talk to you, Sarah. I hope we never see each other again. I'm still being nice to you, because I appreciate our past, our marriage, and our memories. But, it seems I was wrong.”, Arya moved towards the room door.
“You check for yourself and prove it. You're more trusting of the one you just met, or the one I've been with you for years. And one more. I sincerely want to turn it around with you. If only that night you hadn't misunderstood me, I'm sure our relationship would have been the same and you didn't marry that girl. Arya..”, before Sarah finished her sentence, Arya had already walked out of the hotel room by slamming the door.
He was angry even though he did not know who to be angry with. Sarah. Himself?
‘Is it true that night was just a misunderstanding? Was it true that night Sarah wasn't with Dimas? No. gabe.. I can't believe everything Sarah said. And if all of that were true, it wouldn't change the fact that I'm married now.’
Arya walks out of the hotel towards the parking lot. In his head, all the questions gathered into one. Although in his heart he said he did not want to think about it all, but still, the words of Sarah entered one by one and stayed in his mind.
Before long, Arya's phone rang.
From: Dinda
Where is Mr Arya?
To: Dinda
Outer
Arya decided to reply briefly. To be honest, he was happy to receive a message from Dinda. He even smiled. ‘I shouldn't think of words Sarah said. Dinda is now my wife. Although love does not exist, but that does not mean there will not be.’
Arya gets in her car and starts it. He decided to return soon. Maybe he'll stay in his apartment for two days. Clean up any memories of Sarah still in her apartment.
‘Maybe I should also sell that apartment.’, Arya said inwardly.
To: Brother Ojol
Whereabouts?
Whatsapp messages from Dinda came in and were sent, but Arya started driving. He decided to pay it back later.
