Time passed so quickly, It did not feel like it had been two weeks since Ruby signed the divorce papers and now the woman was in Bali precisely on the beach Kuta.
Meanwhile, Tiara actually joins Ruby to help her best friend, managing her new business. While the restaurant in Jakarta, handed over to her confidants and assisted by Risa's sister, Ruby.
Yes, before Ruby actually left, Lisa and David came to see Ruby and apologized while kneeling, at the woman's feet. They also gave money to Ruby, because they said it was Ruby's right, although the amount is not too much. However, Ruby did not accept the money at all, and instead asked David to use the money, making a new venture. Which ultimately made David choose to open a workshop, because that's his expertise.
Ruby really did not expect Arka to give a lot of money, almost twice as much as he mentioned at the beginning, to make Ruby can buy a house that is not too big, he said, but not too small either. With that money, Ruby finally could buy a restaurant that happened to be sold by the original owner, because the owner was about to go home. Indeed, Ruby really felt the ease, which she initially thought would be difficult. Ruby considers this all the blessings of the three babies in her womb.
"There's not much to overhaul at this restaurant, I think it's good enough. It's just, I think you need to create a new menu," said Tiara gave a suggestion.
"I think so, too? but, I still want to change, the color of the wall paint is more towards making calm and cool. I think we're changing the paint to a light gray, what do you think?" said Ruby, giving a proposal.
"No! I know, you chose that color, just because Arka likes that color right? if you want, so that it seems calm and cool and comfortable, you can use light blue, light brown and white? why should the color try?" tiara protest, annoyed.
Ruby's smile, rose to see the look on her best friend's upset face. He knew that his best friend hated Arka.
"Yes, yes. We use light blue only," concluded Ruby, finally relented.
"Well that's dong," the smile on Tiara's lips came back up. "Oh yeah, don't you hate Arka at all?" tiara continued back with a frown.
"hate it? make what? this is not purely his fault. If you have to hate, it's my own father and my father who deserve to be hated,"
"Not for these four years, Arka has always been cruel to you? but why don't you hate him?" Tiara was completely confused by Ruby's line of thought.
Ruby smiled again, then sighed. "Tiara, Arka shouldn't be hated but instead I feel sorry for her. He and I are both victims here, victims of Jelita. It's just the difference, I look very miserable. If you can say, it's me who is a lot of guilty," said Ruby,ambigu.
"Surely speaking, By. I really don't understand your way of mind! how can you say that you are guilty too. By, remember, you've been treated unfairly, cruelly by that jerk!" Tiara was really upset.
Ruby again sighed quite heavily. "I think you know why, why he could be like that. She doesn't know what's really going on, and I have no intention of telling her the truth." Ruby said with a sad face.
"Yes, I know! but it should have been four years together he could have seen a little of your kindness. With your kindness, she should have realized that you weren't as bad as she thought you were,"
Tiara shook her head, as she did not know. All she knew was that just because Ruby trapped Arka, that was all.
"My mistake was my lie. Had it been our bride's night, she found out that I was really unholy again, she might have believed a little that I was a victim too. Because at the time of the incident, I had lied to say that my chastity had been snatched away by him, which even showed that there were traces of blood stains on the mattress. I also said back then that I didn't set him up at all. But what reality did he get? on the night of the bride, she found out that I was still a saint, Ra. It made him even more angry and hate me. Because from there he concluded that I was a fraud, who was willing to lie saying that my honor had been taken away on the night of the incident, but it was not at all. So, he thinks whatever I do is no longer trustworthy," said Ruby at length without pause.
"Complicated, really complicated. Then, you're right, pity Arka if she gets married to that snake woman. It's just, what he did was cruel, By. He's been treating you like a pela*cur and treating you like bacteria to get rid of,"
"Yes, I know that. But, as I said earlier, no human being is perfect. Just imagine, when you love someone so much and even have planned to get married, but suddenly destroyed because of someone, do you not hate that person? must hate it, right? that's what Arka is like. At that time, she loved Jelita very much and even planned to get married, but her dream was shattered. She knew I had ruined her dream, so she hated me. So, as I said earlier, it's not purely his fault, but because the misunderstanding behind it is what makes him so. While me? I know that there is no intention to straighten it out. Great love can make us stupid, so too with great hate makes our logic not work, is not it?" ruby said, wisely.
"Ahhh, how noble is your heart, By. You are really very kind and wise. Arka would have been very sorry, letting go of an angel like you," Tiara hugged Ruby.
"Ihh, last ah. I am tickled to know! you're still normal, right?" ask Ruby with a soft tone.
Tiara flicked her lips, hearing Ruby's innuendo.
"Yes, it's obviously normal! I'm still attracted to men, but, seeing your marriage, makes me rethink" Tiara said, honestly.
"I can't think like that! Not everyone's married life is the same" Ruby protested as she touched Tiara's forehead.
"Yes, yes. Later I find a husband .. eh wrong, it's the man who should look for me, is that not the concept?" Tiara rolled her eyes.
"Oh yeah, if Arka comes back to you, will you take it back?"
Ruby was stunned, silent a thousand languages, as soon as she heard the words that had just been thrown from Tiara's mouth. Because, maybe he did not blame Arka and said not to hate the man, but he was not hypocritical, if the pain Arka incised was still very imprinted in his heart.
