"Why did you two come here?" it was not Ruby who asked but Tiara. While Ruby and Arka look at each other with meaningful gazes. It is undeniable that now there is a great desire in the heart of Ruby wants to pour into the arms of the man, and maybe this is because of the encouragement of her prospective children.
"Why with Arka? why does he look so thin and pale? is he sick? inner Ruby.
What about Arka, where that feeling comes from, Arka feels the same way. There was a great desire arising in the man's heart to bring Ruby into his arms. However, the feeling attempted to be patted by turning his gaze in another direction.
"We both came here, of course, wanted to meet with Ruby. There's something we're going to talk about. Is that right, sweetheart?" Jelita deliberately called him Arka with a very spoiled tone.
Arka did not answer at all. The man, just nodding, assented. Somehow, there is a feeling of unease that arises, when Jelita calls him dear.
"Curtain, don't be soft-spoken and spoiled. Now just tell me there's a need do you guys want to meet Ruby? want to show off the affection of you two?" Tiara spoke in a cynical tone.
"Sorry, Ma'am. We have a need with Ruby, not with you. Please don't interfere!" Jelita still tried to be gentle, but if Arka was not there, it could be ascertained that the woman would speak rudely.
"He's my best friend. So, I have a right to interfere. One more thing, don't call me, ma'am! I'm not your mom,"
Jelita clenched her hands, trying not to get hooked with Tiara whom she believed was trying to provoke her. The corner of Jelita's eyes glanced at Arka, wanting to see the man's reaction. Again Jelita was upset, so found the fact that Arka looked apathetic and like there was no intention to defend him.
"Actually you two came here on what business?" this time Ruby opened the sound.
"Emm, actually I'm not the one who has any business, but Arka," said Jelita.
"Can we talk inside?" Arka also opened the sound.
"What do you guys want to talk about, is that important? why not just stay here?" Ruby tried to resist.
"Emm, this is very important, Ruby and it feels less ethical to talk about this outside," this time Jelita again replied.
"Are you now a spokesman for Arka huh? why are you the one who answered? Arka's got a mouth?" sindir Tiara who actually really wanted to pull the hair of the girl in front of him.
Jelita is eager to answer Tiara's insinuations, but she tries to keep looking calm.
"Well, Arka why shut up anyway? why didn't he defend me at all? though clearly aki had been insulted," Jelita grumbled in her heart.
"Alright, we just talk inside" concluded Ruby finally. He doesn't want his best friend and Jelita arguing.
Ruby opens the door and lets Arka and Jelita in.
"Please sit!" ruby said again, while sitting on the chair made of wood.
Arka did not immediately sit down, but the man circulated his gaze, to all directions. There was a difficult feeling for her to express seeing the condition of Ruby's residence.
"Now you're in, so you can tell me now what you need to come here," Ruby's tone sounded very cold.
"Darling, let's explain your purpose here!" Jelita nudges Arka's arm.
Arma took a deep breath, then exhaled it into the air again.
"Look, I came here actually just wanted to show you this divorce letter. I need you to sign it immediately. I don't want any of these hearings, because the results are the same, anyway" Arka gave a brown envelope to Ruby.
"God, my marriage is finally over" Ruby whispered to herself.
"All right! I'll sign it" Ruby grabbed the envelope with a trembling hand and pulled the paper out of it. Then, Ruby closed her eyes at a glance, and reopened them, then Ruby sighed with a single bang, affixing her signature..
"Already! now it's your turn" Ruby thrusts the paper back toward Arka. Arka stared at the signature of Ruby who was stuck on the letter with a difficult gaze to read. There was a feeling as if she was unwilling when she saw Ruby who quickly signed without any drama of crying.
"You don't have to think about that. I'll sign it later after I get home." Arka refused while putting the letter back in the envelope.
"Damn! why didn't he sign the letter anyway? is he still hesitating?" Jelita swore in the heart.
"Oh yeah, you've been my wife for four years. So, I will still give you the treasure gono-gini. I've prepared a pretty big house and a car for you. I hope you will accept it" Arka said again, making Jelita gasp in shock, because she did not know the matter at all.
"Home? a car? why didn't he tell me at all? he should have said it, "Jelita grumbled back inside. Wanting to feel, the woman was angry, but again she tried to hold it, so that the image as a good woman in the eyes of Arka, stay awake.
Ruby's eyes glazed over when she heard Arka's words. "Emm, if I may want the house and the car to be replaced with money for the car and the house," said Ruby suddenly, making Jelita more shocked. Because at first the woman, thought that Ruby would refuse to end her pride.
Not only Jelita was shocked, both Arka and Tiara were also shocked.
"It turns out you keep thinking about money. You can't be far from the money, can you?" arka's attitude that had been softened, now returned cynical to Ruby.
"We do need a house, but I don't want to be hypocritical if we need more money" Ruby said.
"All right! I'll send you the money for the house and the car. I just want to tell you the price of the house and the car first. House Price, costing 7 billion and 500 million cars. So, I'll give it tomorrow and I'll add another 20 billion. I think that's enough, right? I'll go first!" concluded Arka while stepping away.
"You're really sneaky, Ruby!" jelita's curse after Arka's departure.
"Are you talking about yourself?" sindir Ruby's. "Remember, I never asked for a gono-gini treasure, but Mas Arka himself gave it. And for the problem I want to replace it with money, that's my right. Now, please go!" ruby continued again with a sharp look.
"Damn it!" Jelita passed out while stomping her feet.
She wanted to ask Arka, to deny her intention to give Ruby a treasure, but if she did, Arka would definitely be suspicious. So, inevitably he had to keep pretending not to be bothered by Arka's actions.
"Ruby, why are you asking for that money? you should have turned it down, for your pride," Tiara protested as soon as the car Arka was driving away.
Ruby took a deep breath and exhaled back.
"Don't my pride not exist for him in the past? so let's just. For now, I have to put my pride aside first, for the sake of my three children, Ra. I have to be realistic if I need money. What's the point, self-respect, if my three children, are destitute? I want the money, so I can get out of this town and use it to make a business, which is useful for our survival and can give them a decent living. If I'm still in this city, I still can't cover up my pregnancy right? my stomach will definitely grow," said Ruby at length gave the reason.
