"Hi, Ruby! your job is done! I'm back!" she said while standing right behind Ruby.
Hearing Jelita's voice behind her, Ruby undoes her intention to pour the juice into the glass. The woman, turned around and stared intently at Jelita.
"Welcome back, Jelita! what are you doing here?" ruby asked in a very cold tone.
Hearing the question that had just come out of her mouth, Ruby, Jelita suddenly smiled smirk, feeling that Ruby's question was a stupid one.
"It seems you've forgotten the memory. Do I need to remind you again? it's not like I said, when I get back, then that day your job is over?" Jelita stared cynically at Ruby.
Ruby, silent while recalling the events of four years ago.
Flashback.
"You-you?" Ruby gasped in shock at the figure of the woman she knew was Arka's Beloved. Who else would that woman be if not Jelita.
"Yes, it's me! you must be surprised, right? but soon you'll know why I asked you to frame Arka, when she was my boyfriend,"
"Don't convolve! tell me what your excuse is! instead of being a lover, you were supposed to keep your partner away from other girls? but why are you the opposite?" ruby's brows were sharp-linked, probing.
Jelita, smiled smirk as she stepped closer towards the sofa.
"May I sit down first? it seems that if you stand up, it will not be pleasant to talk," Jelita still relaxed
"Oh, of course I can. Please sit down, Miss Jelita!" Rajasa, swiftly invited Jelita to sit down. The attitude of the middle-aged man, looked like someone who was looking for face.
"Do you need a drink too?" haggard Rajasa, politely.
"Oh, no need, Mr Rajasa!" reject Jelita with your hands raised into the air.
Ruby rolled her eyeballs, really careless to see the attitude of her father who was full of falsehood and also greget to see Jelita who Tety can be relaxed.
"Now that you have sat down, please explain immediately .. What is the reason for you asking me to frame Mr Arkana?" cecar Ruby, looks impatient again.
"You're so impatient, aren't you? all right then,"Jelita was silent for a moment, taking a deep breath and exhaling it back into the air.
"I did it because I love him, and I don't want to lose him?" Jelita began to reveal the reason.
"Very much love him? looks like you're drunk. How can you love but ask another girl to trap the one you love? it doesn't make any sense,"
"I'm not done talking, Miss Ruby. Please don't cut it!" this time Jelita's tone of voice started to sound cold.
"All right! please continue!" Ruby sat up leaning over her legs, preparing to hear Jelita's explanation.
" I have a very lucrative offer from a designer school in Paris. I have always wanted to be a designer. But, the Arka family already really wants Arka married. Of course I did it to make me a dilemma. Besides I'm not ready to get married yet, I also really want to accept the offer. But I knew, if I accepted it, I would indirectly hurt Arka. She would hate me for thinking I would rather have a career than her. Finally, with great force, I thought of doing this. I'm asking you to frame him, and I'll set up a way for Arka's parents to catch you both. Well, after that, I'll pretend to be so hurt watching her with you sleeping together. I will act as if I were a betrayed person, so Arka will continue to be haunted by guilt. Because of that guilt, he would never hate me, so I would easily go back to him if the designer school was over. I am sure, in this way, it is not I who will ask him to return, but Arka himself. I will pretend to be traumatized to know a man, and to tell him about the suffering I went through because of his actions. I'm sure he'll feel more guilty and think about making amends for his past mistakes by asking me to be his wife. Do you understand what I mean?" bright Jelita is long without pause and also without burden.
Ruby clucked, shaking her head. He did not expect the beautiful girl who was known to be gentle, it turned out to be able to do cunning in order to achieve a goal.
"Well, I didn't expect that you turned out to be so cunning, Miss Jelita. You're really manipulative,"
"I'm not asking you to dictate to me, Miss Ruby. I'm just asking you to do what I'm asking. That's all!" the beautiful face of Jelita, now looks cruel in Ruby's eyes.
"What if I don't want to do it?" Ruby tried to challenge.
Jelita snorted and smiled smirk.
"You must have known the consequences, if you didn't want to, Miss Ruby. One, your father will be in prison, and the second, this house will be mine. You don't want a house with fond memories of your late mother, falling into my hands?"
Ruby gasped in shock, hearing the truth about the house. All he knows is the threat his father will face in prison.
"What do you mean the house will fall into your hands?" insist Ruby.
"This letter of the land and this house, is already in my hands. And remember the price of this house and this land, not yet comparable to the money I gave your father. So now the choice is in your hands. Willing or will you all lose this house?" the corner of Jelita's lips was pulled slightly upwards forming a cynical smile and feeling victorious.
"Ruby, please take it. For your mother's house, son!" Rajasa opens his voice.
"Papa really did. Does Papa not realize that papa has indirectly sold me?" cry Ruby, cry as you please.
"Don't cry in front of me! stop your family drama. Now, I want to hear as soon as possible, are you willing or not?" jelita was impatient.
"All right! for the sake of this house, I'm willing!" ruby finally.
"Good! now you have to sign this agreement. Where this house will really fall into my hands, if you deny." Jelita handed him a map containing a letter of agreement.
Ruby tried to read the contents of the agreement, the contents as Jelita mentioned earlier and also about the money that must be returned if Ruby, denied. No half-hearted, in the letter of agreement it is written that Ruby must pay ten times the money that has been given to Rajasa, his father. In the letter was even written Rajasa's signature, Ruby's father. Finally inevitably, Ruby was willing to sign.
"Good! remember, all your duties will be over, once I get back and don't try to tease Arka!" concluded Jelita while standing and passing away.
