Hot Couple: Love Story Inara Season 3
Puzzle Network

Aarin's not so bad.

That's what's on my mind. I'm sure, he's just like me, there's an urge within us to avenge our heartache on the person we think is guilty: the person who has ruined our childhood. Blaming him wrong because he is avenging his revenge on Reza, the real innocent man to him and his mother. But I don't deserve to judge Aarin.

Reflecting on my past. I used to be like that, hurting his children Yanti, even though they did not understand anything and could not do anything during his childhood. His mother was wrong, that Sandra Wijayanti. The flirtatious widow who presented her body to my dappled father.

But as for the events of the murder that night, was it purely from Salsya's own madness or was she incited -- by Aarin? Might as well. The target of the stabbing was actually me, and automatically so were my children. If me and my children were killed, of course it would cause Reza a deep loss. And, it must be worth it for Aarin if he can see Reza suffering a lot of suffering. But the truth is who knows? And Kayla, how could she -- happen to be at the scene that night? Did Salsya plan that and Kayla learned of the plan? But Salsya's real intention was to meet Reza, not meet me. And again, how Kayla could have complete equipment: black robes, masks, gloves, dope. It was as if he had planned and indeed followed Salsya. But behind it all, I'm the dumbest. While they were all with their respective weapon preparations, was it me? Empty hands, even with camera. Cuneiform!

And now, what about Reza feeling after knowing Aarin's background? Why didn't he call me?

Oh, Nara, maybe she thinks you won't care. But after my concern this morning, she should have known that I cared about her. He should have known. Aye, right? Okay, thought. Let's soften up and contact him first.

Tut. tut... tut.

But silent.

With a pounding heart, I said my greetings, then bowed -- in a hoarse voice.

"Why you?" my many.

"It's okay" he said.

"Story, Mother...."

Desaha* the weight on the other end of the phone was sweeping the ears. "What am I supposed to tell you? There's nothing. Niente. I went to the police station, checked your footage back then. Niente. The camera died after the fall, so the footage is only limited to the time you two are still in the living room. Stupid, I've seen it before. Why am I trying to convince myself there is a continuation? Even on Salsya's phone there was nothing, not even any contact with Aarin."

I've guessed. Aarin wasn't that stupid. I'm throats. "It's okay" I said. "Where are you now?"

"At the funeral. Pilgrimage."

"Oh, okay. Emm...."

"As for Aarin.. have you heard from Ihsan?"

"Yes, Mas. It's." Already."

"Yes, if you know there's something she wants to talk about, I'm not leaving so early."

Silent.

"Emm?"

"Bad-"

"I'm sorry."

"Hm?"

He mendesa* again. "My and my family's mistake with Aarin's family was -- it made...."

"I understand, Mas. We face it and we go through this together. I wish I'd continue to be your wife."

He's guaranteeing. "The same hope. And that's for sure. I won't give up even if you file a divorce lawsuit."

Maybe I won't file for divorce, Mas. I'd rather we remarry. Because I will never be willing to let you go.

"Darling?"

"Emm?"

"I want permission."

"What adultery?"

He muttered a long time. "I want to see Nicholas" he said slowly. "Can I go to his house? I'm sorry, I don't want you to think that I went there on purpose to see Aulian. Nope. I don't mean it that way."

Hmm... only understand now on my paranoid sense? I cleared my throat slowly. "Yes, can. She's gone with her real dad and her mom's gone, too."

"When you go to Salsya's tomb, what can you do?"

I frowned. "You what?" my protest.

"Jewel, honey. Praying for him, keep wondering to the tomb keeper, maybe someone has come there, anyway I want to look for clues in any form. For your sake. For being with you." Then a moment's silence. "Oh, wait, for a second, honey, I'm not going to my wife's grave. Don't think weird. It's okay if you don't allow it."

Relax, Nara. Calm. "Okay, you can go there. But don't be long. Just pray and don't kiss the tombstone. Don't make me jealous. Understand, right?"

Tut! Phone connection disconnected.
