"You know Ruby? tanya Tiara made sure.
"Of course I know him. She is the wife of my best friend Arka," Pandu replied making Tiara's eyes grow bigger, gasping in shock.
"So you're his best friend that jerk! I'm sure that you too must be a jerk to him!" tiara with a very sharp look.
"What if it's friendly, it's the same?"
"Of course," Tiara replied coldly.
"Me and Arka are two different personalities. We can be friends, but we have our own character. It's up to you to judge what. After all, Arka is not as much of a jerk as you think. I'm sure you know why Arka could have acted that way to Ruby" Pandu said, not liking Tiara's words.
"Stay away. She shouldn't have behaved that way to Ruby," Tiara remained steadfast in her opinion. "Did you come here to spy on us? tiara tukas back with her eyebrows clutched, suspicious.
"Don't just accuse me! I went to Bali because I have business. But it's lucky that I got to meet you here, so I can tell where Ruby is, not out of the country like the woman who claims to be Ruby's sister,"
"So, what are you going to do now that you know we're here?"
"What kind of question is that?of course I will tell Arka if the wife he is looking for is in Bali," said Pandu relaxed while reaching into his pocket to pull out the phone.
Seeing this, Tiara quickly grabbed Pandu's phone and hid the phone behind his back.
"Hey, why did you take my phone? let's return "Pandu trying to grab his Handphone back, but Tiara was no less quick to dodge.
"I'll return it, but please don't tell Arka that Ruby is in Bali" Tiara said.
Pandu cringed his forehead.
"Why can't it?"
"Because I don't want that guy to easily get Ruby again. I want to see proof that she really expects Ruby to come back, with her struggles," Tiara said.
Pandu fell silent and looked at Tiara with an increasingly amazed look. He did not expect behind the ketusus attitude of the woman, it turns out he is a very loyal figure friend .
"Hey .. em ... What was your name? oh yes the basic word of the guide, aka Pandu, why are you looking at me like that?" ask Tiara.
Hearing Tiara's words, he suddenly made Pandu laugh.
"Are you teaching English?"
"Ah, whatever you want to say, what matters now, please don't tell Arka that Ruby is here. Please yes!" Tiara cupped her hands together in front of Pandu's face.
"It's very difficult for me. Because I feel so sorry to see Arka's situation now. He became a dim-witted figure, who was only busy regretting his mistake by shutting himself up in the room. Daydreaming, and beating himself up for shouldering a heavy guilt. Do you think as a friend I wouldn't feel sinful, keep this a secret?".
Tiara was stunned, unable to say anything. Because he is also in a position of friend. Tiara then threw out her breath with a single blow, hoping that the burden of her mind would be wasted along with the breath she had wasted earlier.
"I know your position. But, you also have to understand that I am also doing this just want to repay Arka's treatment of Ruby. For four more years he treated Ruby in a very cruel way unlike humans, it would be unfair if Arka quickly got an apology from Ruby. I just wanted to teach her a lesson with a life full of guilt for the past few years. At least the next four years or so, let's break even" Tiara said at length and with a fiery tone.
"Isn't that so cruel?" Pandu cringed his forehead.
"I knew. But I think what Arka did was no less cruel" said Tiara.
Tiara fell silent again. Not thinking in that direction.
"Why are you silent?I know that you are very angry about what Arka did to Ruby and want to reply, but are you sure that this is also what Ruby really wants? Do you think Ruby is happy right now?"
again Tiara could not answer Pandu's question. The woman was silent for a long time, thinking hard, about what she was doing, right or wrong.
"I know as a friend you feel annoyed with Arka's attitude all along. But we cannot be selfish. We also have to look at it from Ruby's point of view. I'd like to ask, does he know what happened? does he know that Arka is not married to Jelita and that she is in jail?" ask Pandu with eyebrows that rise slightly upwards.
"Ruby doesn't know at all, because his brother just informed me. If for the current state of Ruby. I made sure he would be fine and even he had started to be cheerful even though I knew, once in a while he would definitely daydream. But, with her busyness now she would definitely not dissolve in grief. Why am I here? it's because I won't let her alone with her pregnancy condition. So, please let me teach your best friend a lesson. Because honestly Ruby is not just a friend to me, but she's already I consider like my real brother. I just don't want someone who's already given my best friend a wound, to easily be able to get sorry. It's totally unfair. At least I want to see where his loyalty is. Will he be able to wait for Ruby with a period of time that long? or easily fall into the arms of another woman?" tiara said at length.
"What about Ruby? if Arka can afford to wait for Ruby, can you also be sure that your best friend will not turn to another man? I've known Arka for a long time. He's a very loyal man, and I'm sure you can also deduce from what happened. He if it is tied to one woman, he will certainly not be easy to turn away, that's him." said Pandu at length.
"So does Ruby" said Tiara firmly.
Pandu is silent in a thousand languages. On the other hand he imagined the condition of his best friend Arka. On the other hand he also felt that the words of the woman in front of him were true. Finally after being silent for a while, Pandu exhaled loudly. "Well, I'm not going to tell Arka where Ruby is now. But on one condition," Pandu smiled mysteriously.
"One condition? meaning?" Tiara squinted her forehead.
"I will fulfill your request, but you must be willing to accept the conditions that I am applying for, how?" the smile of Pandu is getting mysterious.
"All right! what condition?" Tiara looks resigned.
"You've got to marry me, how?"
"You're crazy!" peekot Tiara's. "We've even just met today, how can you marry me?" resumes.
"Indeed, we've just met, but my heart is sure that you're the right person for me to make a wife. Now the decision is in your hands. Ready or not? but you already know the consequences if you're not willing, "Pandu rolled his eyes.
"Arghhhh, you're crazy. I don't want to!"
"All right! then I'll call Arka now," Pandu seized the phone still on Tiara's tanga and acted as if he wanted to contact Arka.
"Well, I'm ready!" tiara finally, resigned.
Scout smiled and put his phone back in his pocket.
"Goody! hi my future wife!" moda Pandu's. Instead of getting the same answer, Pandu gets a face-tangled reply from Tiara. However, the Guide did not feel upset by the attitude Tiara showed. The man just chuckled.
"We're getting married, but after Ruby gave birth how? and let no one know except our parents" Tiara began to apply for the conditions.
"Whatever you say I'm willing, dear," said Pandu, glancing his eyes.
"Currently don't call me darling! I'm glad to hear it!" Tiara squeaks not like.
"For now, you can be amused to hear it. But, I will make sure when someday I do not say it, you will be more disliked again" said Pandu.
"Tomorrow I will return to Jakarta and will come back here again as soon as possible. I'll make sure Arka's okay and reassure her that Ruby and her three children will be fine. After that, I decided to focus on taking care of my business here and occasionally to Jakarta. Because I also want to keep Ruby and her three children, for Arka," added Pandu, steady on his decision.
