Adelia finally came out of Arka's room after her brother wanted to eat even though only a few mouthfuls were swallowed and the rest ended up in the bathroom, in other words spewed out.
After her younger sister actually came out of her room, Arka stepped over to the closet that used to contain Ruby's clothes. The man opened it slowly and inside it was still evident some Ruby clothes were left behind.
"Is this all her clothes? why does everything look so new?" Arka touched the clothes hanging one by one. After being satisfied to see the clothes hanging, Arka then touched the clothes folded neatly. The man pulled one outfit that he thought Ruby wore almost as often. She plans to hug the clothes in her sleep.
It doesn't stop there. Arka then pulled a drawer that he thought was a little heavy and a little difficult to open.
"What's in this drawer? why is it so heavy?" Arka pulled the drawer a little tight.
The man's eyes suddenly enlarged to see what the contents of the drawer that turned out to be full of money. The man recalled that the money was the money he gave when he had contact with what he said was payment.
Arka's tears trickled back and pulled her own hair violently.
"It turns out, the money you never use Ruby! Oh my God, how sinful I am," Arka smacked her own chest, full of regret.
At the same time, the door of his room opened again and raised the figure of a man who was none other than Pandu.
"Hi, Sob, what are you doing down there? you're out of money, so open a piggy bank?" chirps Pandu, kidding.
"Would you come here? anyway why don't you knock on the door first?" instead of answering Pandu's question, Arka asked back.
"Hey, I knocked on the door, but you didn't say anything. I became worried if you mess around, so I immediately open it myself, uh it turns out you again open the piggy bank .. uh, a lot of it too Bro. The sultan bedding? that saved all red,". Pandu is still trying to joke.
"Can we stop joking around? your joke is not at all funny to know," protested Arka while returning the drawer again to its original place.
"You haven't answered, why are you here? you want to laugh at me, right? please do! I don't mind at all. Arka swung her foot towards the bed.
Pandu did not immediately answer, the man first exhaled while stepping towards the sofa.
"Hey, you don't sit there!" prevent Ark, before Pandu actually sits down.
"Did? why can't you?" Pandu cringed his forehead, confused.
"You don't need to know why. You cannot sit there, you cannot!" said Arka, ambiguous.
Pandu scratched his head that was not itchy at all, confused by the attitude of his best friend. However, the man chose to undo his intention to sit on the sofa and step back closer to Arka.
"I came here just to see your condition. Om Adi said, you like to lock yourself up and even have difficulty eating. How are you doing now?" ask Pandu who did not feel any pain at all over the attitude of Arka just now.
"As you can see. I no longer have the spirit of life anymore" said Arka, Iirih.
"Have you eaten? you have to keep eating, Ka. Look, your body is already thin like this," Pandu looked at the lethargic face and thin body of Arka with a look of sympathy. Arka did not respond. The man, silent a thousand languages.
"Ka, I know that what you feel this time is very heavy, but life must go on. Don't live like this. Your physique is still alive but you are almost the same as people who do not have the spirit to live," Pandu continued. This time the man looked really serious.
"When you talk, it's really easy, Pan. But, try if all this happens to you, can you still say that?" arka's tone of voice sounded very soft, like a desperate person.
Pandu took a deep breath and exhaled it with a single blow. He smiled faintly and looked at Arka who was not looking at him at all.
"I know it's easier to give people advice than it is to encourage yourself. But, as friends, as long as we can, remind our friends, we must keep doing it. That's what I'm doing now." Pandu paused for a moment, to take a pause while sighing.
"I want you to have the spirit to live, not for yourself but, so that you can look for Ruby's existence again. Because honestly,. It's not just Ruby you need to look for, but there are three more people, who were taken and Ruby with her. And those three people are an important part of you as well" Pandu said ambiguously.
Arka turned her head towards Pandu and scrunched her forehead.
"Three more people? an important part of me? you mean what? please speak clearly!" arka's gaze looked demanding.
"You remember the condition you've been in all this time? It could not be separated from the connection with the three people," Pandu's speech increasingly sounded ambiguous.
Pandu took his breath back.
"What you're going through, with you vomiting, being sensitive to smells, and suddenly not liking the food you normally like is, as the doctor said that day. You have a sympathetic pregnancy, where your wife is pregnant but you are feeling the effects while your wife is not" Pandu explained very carefully.
For a while Arka was stunned, still not fully understood. However, the next second he looked at Pandu with enlarged eyes.
"W-w-would you tell me that Ru-Ruby is pregnant with my son?" arka's lips look shaky.
Pandu nodded his head, asserting. "And maybe it's already the third month,"
"W-what do you mean by three people?" arka asked back.
"Your wife is carrying a baby triplet which means there are three people in her womb,"
Arka smiled smirk while shaking her head, still lacking in trust.
"You if you talk don't come from. Please don't add to my guilt, " said Arka.
" I don't just talk. You remember when I found your wife in the middle of the street and I took her to the hospital? that day Ruby had a little bleeding due to being too tired. The doctor told me she was pregnant with three children. At first I wanted to tell you but, your phone couldn't be reached. When Ruby realized she begged me to keep it a secret from you, because she didn't want you to force her to abort the three babies" Pandu said at length.
"But he's been __" all along"
"Considering the Pill? that's what you mean?" cut Pandu quickly and Arka nodded her head.
"Said Ruby, that night she had not consumed it but you had forced her. You're totally outrageous, man. If you are not my best friend, you have taught me all out," said Pandu.
"Arghhhhh, why did you just say this, Huh!"pekik Arka while pulling the collar of Pandu's shirt.
"Stranquilo, Ka. I already gave you the code back then, but you don't understand it at all. I made a promise to Ruby, too, and it's all because of your threats to her, right?" Pandu is still trying to be patient.
"Thurghhhh!" arka shouted again while releasing her hand grip and grabbed the alarm clock that was on the nightstand and threw it against the wall until it broke.
"What's this about? why are you screaming Arka?" Adijaya, Rosa and Adelia who happened to have heard Arka's first screams immediately rushed into the man's room.
"Arka, what's wrong with you, son?" Rosa slid towards the Ark, which had now fallen down, sitting leaning onto the bed with her cheeks wet. Even the man's hair was already very messy.
"Ma, I'm evil, I'm so evil!" arka shouted while hitting her chest again.
"Stranquil, honey, calm down!" Rosa tried to calm Arka by tightly hugging her son.
"Guide, can you explain what's going on with Arka?" adijaya asked, staring with a sharp look.
The guide takes a breath back and exhales it back into the air.
"He was in shock, Om because he just found out that Ruby is actually pregnant with three children who are Arka flesh blood," explained Pandu very carefully.
"What!" pekik Adijaya, Rosa and Adelia together.
Then Pandu again explained what really happened to the three people in detail according to what he knew.
"ARKAAAA! why do you do such a stupid thing! it's worth it for four years, Ruby wasn't pregnant - pregnant, it turns out all this was you. You're a real jerk!" Adijaya approached Arka with a raised hand about to hit his son. But not so because Adelia swiftly prevent by standing in front of Arka.
