"What's this?" ruby asked as she looked back, demanding an explanation from Tiara. However Tiara turned the other way, pretending not to see Ruby.
"Near! I'm asking you, don't pretend you don't know!" Ruby raised her voice a little.
"Emm, sorry! I gave them the keys to the house" Tiara pointed towards Arka and Pandu.
"Because he said Arka wants a surprise for you," Tiara continued with a cry, showing a row of white teeth.
Ruby took a deep breath and exhaled it out, trying to calm herself down.
"Why? don't you like it?" Arka open the sound. The smile that had adorned her lips, suddenly seemed to see Ruby's reaction.
"Thank you!" sahut Ruby brief.
Arka smiled back. Although short, Ruby's thanks like herself, found a spring in the middle of the desert. She felt that thank you was a great start for getting closer to Ruby.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
"Thank you again for the surprise!" ruby said to Arka when they were alone in the back garden.
"Do you like it?" ask Arka and Ruby nodded, assuring.
"Thank God, if you like," said Arka smiling with relief.
The silence was again between them. The two of them suddenly felt awkward, no one started the conversation.
"Ehmm," Arka tried to cleared her throat, while Ruby just glanced through the tail of her eyes.
Meanwhile, from a direction not too far away, two pairs of eyes looked at Arka and Ruby. Who else would have owned those eyes if not Tiara and Pandu.
"It looks like we should get out of here. We give them space to speak more freely" Tiara said as she turned and left.
"Where are we going? are we gonna talk about us?" ask Pandu while running small following Tiara.
"It's your dream!" sahut Tiara, cuek.
Pandu suddenly stopped his steps accompanied by his face which turned sour.
Tiara halted her steps and reversed them when she realized that Pandu had stopped following her.
"Why did you stop?" Tiara squinted her forehead.
"There's nothing. Please go ahead first. I'll catch up from behind" said Pandu, whose tone suddenly turned cold. Pandu's attitude certainly invites question marks on Tiara.
"Did I make a mistake so you're reluctant to walk with me?" tiara's eyebrows are sharp-linked.
"No, not at all! I just want to give you comfort! wouldn't you be more comfortable if there wasn't me?" The man tries to keep smiling. But anyone will be able to see that the smile he shows is a forced smile.
Tiara suddenly gasped, hearing the words that had just been thrown from Pandu's mouth. Instantly the woman felt bad and felt dislike for Pandu's words which implied that he would stay away from her.
"Oh yeah, I don't know why you still can't love me, even though I've been trying to make you fall in love. Maybe all this time I've been hoping for too much to make you love me. But, you take it easy, from now on I will try not to bother you anymore. You are free to find the man you like. Because I know that love can't be forced. Now, our deal first, we just cancel it!"
Again Tiara was amazed to hear Pandu's speech. "Does that mean you're tired, to me, and you choose to give up?" tiara asked in a soft tone of voice.
"If it may be said to give up not really, but, I just don't want to burden you anymore with my presence. Because I know you have been uncomfortable with my existence.If you obey my ego, I would like to keep not giving up, but we must not be selfish right? I can't force you. I'm saying yes! Please tell them I'm home. Take good care of yourself!" without waiting for an answer from Tiara, Pandu left. Meanwhile, Tiara was glued to her place, staring at Pandu's body until it disappeared from her sight.
As Pandu's shadow disappears from his sight, Tiara feels something is missing from him. His heart felt pain and there was a sense of tightness arising. Tiara regressed and ran after Pandu before the man actually left.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
"Ruby, have you really forgiven me?" finally Arka ventured to open the voice, breaking the silence that had been created.
"From the beginning I have forgiven you, because I know that you are not wrong in this matter either" replied Ruby.
"really?" Arka's face looks sparkling.
"Does that mean you still want to live with me? I promise I will not repeat the events before and will replace them by always giving you and our children happiness" Arka continued, hopeful.
Ruby lowered her head, glimpsed then looked back to the front.
"But you are still my wife. I never signed the divorce papers at all. Can't we try to live together again? we build a happy family" Arka said, hopeful.
"Mas, ever since I signed the divorce papers, I've considered myself a widow. Regardless of you, have or have not signed it. I used to say, I hope you don't regret it, but you stick to your decision,"
"I know that, and I'm really sorry. You know, I was under pressure then, Jelita and her mom. I used to have a desire to accept you sincerely into my destiny, because the attitude you showed was much different from what I thought. I've had a chance to think, maybe in a trap way God made me make a match with you, but because Jelita's mother who almost every day terrorizes me, and always blame me by sending depressed Jelita videos. I'm so depressed. Until I vented it on you, for assuming that you were the cause of all this. My eyes are completely closed, so my logic does not work. Again, forgive me!" said Arka at length and sad face.
"So that's the story?" Ruby nodded her head.
"Why didn't you tell me everything back then, By? why are you keeping quiet? If you tell me the truth, I can pay whatever they ask. Don't 10 times as much as they ask, 20 times as much as I can!" said Arka, fiery.
"If I had been honest then, would you have believed it? didn't you? you must think I'm a braggart,"
Arka budging, silent a thousand languages. True what Ruby said, if at that time maybe he would not believe, especially without evidence.
"By, so I don't have another chance?" arka's voice sounded very soft.
"Sorry!" sahut Ruby brief.
"Why? is it because you've met another man?" arka said with a very painful feeling.
"Do not accuse. That's not the reason. I can't be with you either, not because there's another man" Ruby quickly denied.
"So why is it so hard for you to accept me again?"
"I would have said that now I have doubted my feelings for you and so have your feelings. I feel like you want to come back to me just out of guilt not out of love. I also feel that you asked me to be together just because of our three children.If only because of that, you take it easy, as I said earlier, if I have truly forgiven you, and you can meet the kids anytime. I will never ban. And forever they will call you, Papa," Ruby said at length.
"No! you're wrong! my feelings for you are not guilt but more than that. I'm sure that I've loved you for a long time, it's just that I've realized it now" Arka said, clutching Ruby's shoulder.
Ruby smiled thinly and brushed Arka's hand off her shoulder gently.
"But I'm not sure yet. Please understand, Mom. I really want to be alone and try to understand how I really feel. Before the children were born, I really wanted you to be next to me, maybe because I was carrying your child, but after they were born there was something different that I felt,"
"All right then! I appreciate your decision. But, can I fight to get you back? I will stop fighting when you say that you have met the man you love and will marry him. But, as long as you don't have the man you love, as long as I don't sign the divorce papers. And I beg you, allow me to keep fighting for you and try to get your heart Arka said firmly.
"All right!" sahut Ruby's. "Emm, I'm going to go in first, Mom. I want to see the children" Ruby stood up from her seat and was about to step up.
"Can I follow you?" ask Arka.
"Of course you can!"
Arka smiled broadly, a smile that Ruby had never seen in this entire time.
" Oh yeah, thank you, you gave those names to our kids!" arka said without taking off her smile.
"So those names are from you?" Arka nodded her head.
"I guessed it," Ruby clucked as she shook her head.
"Why? are you going to replace it again?"
"No! what am I changing for? those names are good names! comein!" said Ruby.
The two of them continued walking until they arrived at the door of the triplet room.
"Let's go in!" Ruby opened the door and entered the room that looked very comfortable and cool.
Ruby looked at her three children with a peaceful feeling and a smile on her lips. Meanwhile, Arka looked at Ruby with a gaze that only she herself knew the meaning of her gaze. But clearly, there was a sense of love within his gaze.
"It turns out I was so stupid back then, being able to ignore an angel like him. I'm really sorry. Now I promise you, I will try to get you back and love the four of you!" whispered Arka promised her own heart.
Finished
Eits, not finished in the real sense yes guys. The story will continue with a new title, 'Bringing back my wife' (bringing back my wife). Wh why? let no one say it later, the story does not relate to the title anymore.
The title Bringing back my wife is actually the first title I want to make in this novel, but because there is another thought, that there is the same title of the novel, I finally decided to make the title Regret Brutal Husband. But, in the second season I decided to return to the initial title of Bringing back my wife which tells the struggle Arka get Ruby again. One more thing, Of course the novel is still I continue in this novel so do not be unfavorite yes guys
