Husband's Regret Brutal
POV Ark

Arka went into her bedroom, put down her suit and took off her tie. The man's face looked very tired, not only physically but also with the inner.

Today, she is troubled by the anger of Jelita who accuses her of hiding her divorce papers with Ruby, as she is still hesitant to divorce. If you can be honest, he is still very hesitant to sign the divorce papers, but regarding the allegations that he hid the divorce papers, of course it does not matter, at all.

"Ah, I'd better take a shower first, just take a break. For the matter of the divorce papers, I'll look for it later," Arka's mind as she stepped into the bathroom.

The man had now been bathing in the bathroom that was in his room since Ruby was not around. Strangely, the man actually prefers to use shampoo and soap commonly used by Ruby, and actually does not like what he usually wears. The man was actually confused why it could be like that, but over time, he did not care anymore.

Arka chose not to linger in the bathroom, because she really misses the mattress at this time.

"I can finally rest" Arka threw her body into the bed, and began to close her eyes. However, he had to open his eyes again because of the sound of his phone.

"Tante Mona? well, Aunt Mona must be upset. But if I don't answer, he will definitely get angry and determined to come here. I'd better just answer it," Arka finally decided to press the answer button.

"Hello, Auntie!"

"Arka, what the hell did you do to Jelita? Last night, you left him alone at the restaurant. Ok... Because of the reason, he was very long in the toilet, but you already know he is very long, why do you not have the slightest worry and look for him? this is you just leaving?" Without answering Arka's greeting, Mona has released her uneg-uneg by exploding.

"Sorry, Auntie! I was __"

"There's no sorry-sorry! not only that, said Jelita you hide divorce papers that you have not signed at all, what do you want? remember yes, you once depressed my daughter and even nearly committed suicide. For years she's been in therapy to escape your shadow, but you came back and promised to make her happy. But, what now? you just make him seem insignificant to you. I remind you yes, do not let Jelita get depressed again, because of you," Mona still sounded explosive, did not give Arka a chance to explain.

"Tan, I swear by nothing, I never hid the letter at all. Ok, I was wrong for not signing the letter, but it's because I forgot, Tan," Arka said, still trying to be polite.

"If it wasn't you who was hiding, then who else? That lady? isn't it possible?"

"Yes, Tan I said honestly, if not me who kept it.But, later will try to find it again," concluded Arka, trying to make the middle-aged woman there, feel calm.

"All right, I'll wait! but, now that I want to say, meet or not meet the divorce papers, you should still marry Jelita as soon as possible!$ firmly Mona while deciding unilaterally.

"Arghh, why is the business so long anyway?" Arka grumbled in the heart.

Arka put her phone back on the nightstand. Then, the man splashed his body with his supine position and glaring eyes to the ceiling of his room.

Instantly, the shadow of what he had experienced first so that he did a cruel act on Ruby flashed again.

POV Ark

Yes, I married Ruby because of a trap, which made me hate that woman so much. It was not without reason that I hated her so much, it was because at that time, I loved Jelita so much, even had planned to marry her.

Actually, if I can be honest I have intended to be sincere and accept the fate that Jelita and I are not destined to be a match. However, Ruby's lies make me no longer trust her, and consider her a snake woman, cunning and cheap.

Slowly my heart actually denied that Ruby wasn't as bad as I thought. I began to pay a little attention, because what I saw, she was a tough, patient and gentle woman. However, every time I wanted to be gentle and warm to her and wanted to bury my hatred, the memory of Jelita's circumstances just returned to make me hate her even more.

Yes, almost every day I experience the inner pressure of Aunt Mona's mother Jelita. Aunt Mona always contacted me and said that Jelita's condition was very concerning because of acute depression that made Jelita intend to commit suicide after she saw the incident between myself and Ruby.

Almost every day Aunt Mona terrorized me by sending a photo of Jelita who she said had to be locked in a room, because many times she wanted to kill herself. Jelita's condition in the photo did indeed look alarming. The sight of the woman who was almost my wife was empty and her eyes were swollen from mostly crying. That sight, made me even more depressed and I ended up taking it out on Ruby. The woman I consider the cause of everything that happened.

I still vividly remember, almost three months ago, the last time I had a marital relationship with Ruby. Back then, I was really very depressed, more depressed than before. Aunt Mona again blamed me and sent me a video where Jelita was trying to commit suicide again and there were some people dressed in doctor clothes trying to restrain Jelita from doing that. I heard clearly, Jelita's cry yelling my name. My heart is really sliced at seeing all that. I finally caught fire and went home with a lot of anger. I wanted to vent my anger on Ruby again, which is why this is all happening.

I treated him like a pe*lacur, issuing words of mockery and insults that should not be appropriate to be spoken by humans. I used to do that every time I was under pressure, but that night, what I did seemed even more cruel.

I even thought of her as a germ to be rid of, but I swear by anything, I actually did it because of the inner pressure and the enormous guilt that Jelita felt. I feel like I have to take responsibility for what Jelita has been through.

Without Ruby realizing it, I actually often cried myself, when she was asleep on the sofa, a very narrow place. I always came up to him and looked at that face deeply, because only when he slept could I look at him for so long. I always say sorry, even though I know that she won't hear it.

Actually, I did all that, other than feeling depressed and wanting to take responsibility for Jelita when she came back. I also did that because I wanted to make Ruby not fall in love with me. I felt that if I did anything cruel, he would hate me and end up wanting to leave my life alone. I'm sure, if he left without any love for me, there wouldn't be the same story that Jelita did. Ruby won't be depressed like Jelita, so I don't have to feel guilty anymore. But, I was wrong, she was really able to survive being my wife.

However, I myself was stuck with the plan I made. There is one thing I can't avoid and really hate very much, it's Ruby's charm that is getting stronger attracting me. I tried to shake off my interest by further increasing my hate, but I couldn't. I don't know what that woman did, so I can't throw that feeling away.

I hate him so much, but I don't want anyone to insult him. He was once insulted by some woman, and I heard it. I saw Ruby just smiling and not fighting back. But when Ruby left, I went up to the women and cursed them. I even threatened to destroy the careers of those women, if I still dared to insult Ruby.

I also had secretly beaten some men who had intended to harass my wife. I made their faces battered, but again they did not dare to report me to the police, because I again used my power, to threaten them.

I also felt annoyed when I was worried, when he had not come home when it was already night. I asked my men to look for her, and I was so shocked to find out that she was in a place where my sister was with her boyfriend who was having a party. I rushed to that place as well. I saw clearly how he protected my sister from her evil lover. I didn't approach them, but rather monitored from afar. But, I remain on standby in case those men, intend to harm Ruby and my sister. But, it turns out Ruby is quite clever and managed to overcome everything.

I heard clearly from where I was hiding, that Ruby asked my sister not to tell me what happened, so that I would not get angry and beat up the men in order to keep my good name. However, unbeknownst to them I instead asked my men to beat up the men to give a deterrent effect. Then I hurried to go home, so I could get home first.

How upset I was, when I saw Ruby enter the house with a wet wet situation, but I don't know where I was scolding her as if I didn't know what had happened. When my sister told me about it, in the morning when Ruby came home with a pale face because I left her on the street, I pretended to be shocked so that everything looked natural.

Yes, that night, I asked her to attend a party, I really admired her a lot but tried to tepis and again remind myself that the woman was the cause of all the problems that occurred. But there are things that make me very upset, where there is a man who claims to be a friend of Ruby High School, blatantly confessing that he really likes Ruby and even intends to make Ruby as a companion, as well as making her a good friend, if only my wife was alone. I couldn't hold back my anger so heartlessly I lowered it halfway. I really don't know why I'm so angry.

I was also very upset when I finally changed my mind and intended to pick her up again, but by the time I got to where I dropped her off, she was no more. I thought he was coming home to his parents, but I was wrong. He turned out to be in the hospital. I felt so guilty knowing that, but somehow when he was still trying to cover up what happened, I still assumed that he just wanted to look face to face in front of my dad.

When Jelita came back, I was really in a dilemma between wanting to divorce Ruby and going back to Jelita, to make up for my guilt and finally I decided to split up. My heart really hurt and seemed unwilling when I saw Ruby sign the letter. At that time, I saw Ruby who looked more and more beautiful with her cheeks getting chubby, after 3 weeks of not meeting. When he asked me to sign as well, I casually replied later. Not because I can't, but back to the reason that there is still a lack of reliance, and that unwillingness, until now I did not sign the letter. Surprisingly when I heard that letter was missing from my study, I didn't feel upset at all.

The POV Arch End

While Arka is busy with her daydreams and memories, elsewhere, Mona and Jelita still look very upset.

"We need to act fast, Jelita. Mama does not want the efforts of mama who always provoked Arka so far by making her always possessed by guilt, ended in vain," said Mona with sparkling eyes.

"Mama's right. I'll ask her to marry me as soon as possible. But, ma before that we must first eliminate Mr. Rajasa," said Jelita.

"You just calm down. For that matter, mama's already got a way," the corner of Mona's lips formed a sly smile.
