"Where? do you remember it?" jelita asked, awakening Ruby from her daydream.
"Of course I remember! I'm not too old to forget your cunning plan,". Ruby said as she slipped a satire.
"It's not a sneaky but a smart plan. Now according to the agreement, I'm back, and that means your job is done. Now, you must think of a way, to get away from Arka's life, without involving me,"
"Without involving you, but lowering my self-esteem, you mean that, right?" ruby's tone sounded very cynical.
Jelita chuckled in a mocking tone. "Do you still have self-esteem? I think, since that incident, you have no self-esteem anymore," Jelita said as she brought her mouth closer to Ruby's ear.
A smile was seen rising on Ruby's thin lips, a smile that made Jelita squint her forehead.
"Why are you smiling? do you think my words are a joke?"Jelita looks upset.
"Yes, I assume you, are trying to joke right now. It's not funny, but to appreciate you, I'm laughing,"
Ruby's words made Jelita growl, annoyed. "Oh, looks like you've started to dare, huh!"
"When have I been afraid? I've never been scared of you at all. It's just that, because of your cunning, which holds back the letters of the house, I try to be strong and patient" Ruby said casually accompanied by a smile.
"As far as you want to say what. Now what matters is that your task is done. I'll take your place as wife, Arka,"
"If I don't want to? what are you gonna do? because, to be honest, I already love my husband. Remember, he is my husband, legal in the eyes of law and religion,"
Jelita again growled while clenching her hands with if not for being at the Arka residence, maybe she would have taught Ruby a lesson.
"Suckers! how dare you love my man!" objurgation.
"Eit, eits please revised his words. He's not your man but my man. You're just her ex-boyfriend" Ruby looks bolder. In fact, if to be honest, the woman already has a fear, if - if the crafty woman in front of him, wrath and harm him which will certainly affect his three prospective children.
"Hahahaha, you must remember too, that you are only a wife on paper, and in her heart it is only me" Jelita said, smilingly winning.
Ruby fell silent, not refuting, because what Jelita said was true.
"Even if in her heart there is you, but I am sure one day she will open her heart to me" said Ruby, firmly despite the doubts tucked in her speech.
"Damn you! after all you have to leave Arka, otherwise your papa will go to jail, remember that!" threaten Jelita with a sharp look.
"Emm, you think I care! I don't care at all, because he doesn't care about me at all, either,"
Jelita's eyes widened, looking at Ruby's other side. All this time he thought that Ruby would be easy to handle, but it was very difficult.
"You forgot, if your house letters are in my hands, you don't want them anymore?" Jelita, with her cynical smile, relaunched the threat she believed would not make Ruby, giggling.
"I don't care about that anymore either! you'll take the house please!" again Jelita gasped in shock at Ruby's reaction.
"You are ...."0 Jelita raised her hand about to hit Ruby. But he was resistant, because he did not want to get a bad stamp from Arka and his mother. As a result, the woman could only bite her own teeth to hold back her anger.
"Well, if you don't want to back off, and go away from Arka, I'll make Arka myself who will divorce you and drive you out of this house," the corner of Jelita's lips pulled slightly upwards, and he'll pull her away, forming a cynical and sly smile.
Ruby flinching. He knew that the woman in front of him was very, very cunning and certainly had a myriad of ways to get what he wanted.
"As far as you want to do what. But, I can also tell the truth to Arka, who you are the mastermind of all the problems that are happening," Ruby began to issue her threat.
"What will this woman do?" inner Ruby, with her brows that were linked, was confused.
Brakkkk
"Awwww, sick!"
suddenly, Jelita dropped the chair to the floor and so did Deny herself while screaming in pain.
"What's this about? what's going on!" The arcs came pouring down as did Rosa.
"Jelita, why are you on the floor? what's going on?" ask Arka with a panicked, panicked face.
"It's okay! ruby pushed me! but I'm not angry, anyway. Maybe he doesn't like my presence here, and I'm quite understanding. Don't you scold him!" Jelita started doing her drama. Acting manipulatively, as if she were a good woman.
"lik! I never pushed him. He deliberately brought himself down!" Ruby's doing the defense.
"SILENCE! you think I believe? you are, really rotten hearted. How dare you still want to slander Jelita. You heard yourself, Jelita even still holds me back from scolding you, even though you have pushed her," Arka snapped with anger. Meanwhile, Jelita is seen smiling cynically and looking at Ruby with a soft look.
"Son Jelita, didn't Auntie forbid us to meet her? this is what Auntie was afraid of. You're really okay, aren't you?" attentively, Rosa examined Jelita's body.
"I'm fine, Tan. You guys don't blame Ruby anymore. He was not wrong, I was wrong, because he was back in this house" said Jelita, smiling sweetly at Rosa.
"You heard it yourself! even if you hurt her, she still defends you. But, you steadfastly still want to slander him! you really don't have your heart!"arka's face was completely flushed. His emotions had really reached the top of the crown.
"I swear by anything, I don't__"
"Stop saying the oath! you don't deserve to say that!" snapped Arka again, cutting off Ruby's words, who was intending to plead with her.
"Arka, stop! don't be mad at him anymore! I told you I was wrong. So, I better go now," Jelita, about to swing her legs, but Arka swiftly held back.
"It's not you who has to go, it's him!" Arka raised her index finger, pointing right at Ruby's face.
"Listen here, cheap lady, as I said, if Jelita comes back, we'll split up!" arka said firmly without thinking anymore. This makes, Ruby dumbfounded. The thing he had expected earlier had finally happened as well.
"Arka, don't be! you can't talk to Ruby like that!" again Jelita, pretending to be a noble hearted woman.
"You don't defend him anymore, Jelita. He is too evil for you to defend" said Arka.
"But, Mas Arka I've ..." It's almost Ruby revealed her pregnancy. But, he paused because considering the woman who was pretending to be good, it was very sneaky. She did not want, the woman later, to harm her and the baby.
"Why are you still standing there? get out of here!" snapped Arka again.
"All right! I'm going! I hope these words are true of your heart and you won't regret it!" ruby concluded, as he moved away.
Arka, suddenly instantly riveted, silent a thousand languages. There was a sense of regret that suddenly appeared, when he realized his words earlier. Somehow he wanted to retract his words, but he tried to deny his wish.
When he was about to pass Jelita, Ruby stopped for a moment. " Congratulations, you have succeeded! but one thing you have to remember, your rot is like a bagkai, which will surely be able to smell, just waiting for time. For now, enjoy your victory," Ruby said in a very slow tone, then passed away.
