"So you're still alive?" Ruby touched Arka's cheek with watery eyes.
"Yes, as you can see, I'm still alive" Arka's smile floated perfectly.
"But, how could it be? not that you ...." Ruby seemed to have doubts.
Arka sighed, and smiled back. Then, he told me the reason why he could not die.
"Why didn't you tell me before? wasn't I worried?" ruby sobbed.

Arka scratched his head which was not itchy at all
"This is the concept how is it?" arka's face looks confused. "can't I tell you, while your position is again tied up and threatened? it was impossible, once I entered, I immediately shouted, 'Rubyy, calm baby, I wear bulletproof clothes!' then, get caught dong," said Arka, making Tiara's laughter break.
Tiara's laughter stopped, as soon as Arka and Ruby's extremely sharp gaze pointed at her.
"Sorry!" he murmured, trying to hold back the laughter.
"K-Kak Pandu how? where is he? he's okay, right?" Ruby suddenly remembered Pandu.
"He went straight back to Jakarta, because he said he had a very important business," replied Arka, then turned to look at Tiara. "He must have told you, right?" continued Arka.
Tiara shook her head while smiling faintly.
Ruby and Arka suddenly looked at each other with equally confused gazes.
"Why can? should he have told you, when he could have forgotten to tell his girlfriend?" Ruby grumbled, annoyed.
"I'm not her lover, so she has no obligation to tell me" Tiara chirped, with a sad look on her face.
Ruby stared at Arka with a gaze demanding an explanation. "Mas, have you not told Pandu who Bima really is, and about Tiara's feelings?" ruby's eyebrows, sharp-linked.
"Lho, I guess their misunderstanding is over. That day, on the first day you were taken away by that jerk, I called Pandu, and he was with Tiara again, so I guess they solved their misunderstanding" Arka said, explain.
Tiara's facial features look confused, not understanding the direction of Arka and Ruby's conversation.
"What are you two talking about? what misunderstanding does that mean?" tanyakanya.
"The guide thinks that you and Bima are lovers. That's why she chose to accept the matchmaking with Adel," Ruby explained, making Tiara gasp in shock.
However, Tiara's shock only lasted for a moment. The woman was seen sighing with a single stomp and smiling faintly.
"Emm, but I think, it has nothing to do with the presence of Bima, because long before me and Kak Pandu it was over, and he himself ended it. So, I don't think it is necessary to tell him who Bima is, because that will have no effect on his decision at all. He said he gave up on my attitude, By. He said he didn't want to force me to accept it" Tiar explained, trying to keep smiling. It was obvious that the smile he showed was a forced smile.
"But he said that because he has absolutely no idea how you feel, Ra. He does not know, if your indifference is only because you do not want your experience with your ex-lover, happens again. Because you show too much love, make the man treat you as he pleases. But, Ra I don't think Kak Pandu is like your ex. So, before it's too late, he should know the truth" said Ruby, at length without pause.
"I don't think it's necessary. Because I don't want to let Adelia down, either,"
"In fact, he would be more disappointed if he found out later," not Ruby who answered but Arka who opened her voice, meanwhile, Ruby nodded her head, agreeing with Arka's words.
"But, I still don't want my sister to be used as a Tiara's outlet. However Pandu should know how you really feel," said Arka firmly.
"You think, even if he knew, would he change his mind? I guess not! Kak Pandu is a person who is committed to his words. So, once he decides something, he doesn't change it anymore. Whether he is your best friend or not. She will definitely also keep your big family feeling," Tiara paused for a moment to take a pause, as well as to breathe in air to replenish the oxygen to her lung cavity.
"Adelia is the princess in your family, so no parent can accept that someone makes her sad. If in the past, Kak Pandu refused, it might still be acceptable, but the problem is now, Kak Pandu has accepted, so once he canceled again, the heartache is not only Adelia, but also your parents, as well, which ultimately makes your family's close relationship so destroyed. So, just let this all happen. We follow our destiny. Perhaps, I am not destined to live together with Kak Pandu," said Tiara wisely, while trying not to cry.
Arka and Ruby fell silent, not refuting Tiara's words. If Ruby, already knew that Tiara has a big heart, but Arka did not think that his wife's friend had a very big heart. It is not wrong if Pandu can fall deeply in love with the woman in front of him.
"Rushaa! you are really outrageous huh! you turned out to be ...." Suddenly Risa entered just like that, with a look of wrath, because she finally knew what the man had done to David the husband. However, her Murkan face instantly changed sumringah once she saw Ruby who was already human.
"Ruby, are you awake, Dek?" tanyanya while approaching Ruby.
"Already, Brother!" Ruby smiled sweetly.
"How long has it been?"
"It's been a while" replied Ruby, honestly.
"Why didn't anyone call me? means I lost the moment when you woke up earlier dong. I couldn't capture it, '" murmured Risa, ambiguous.
"meaning? What moment should be preserved?" Ruby clenched her forehead, confused.
"Yes, the moment when you woke up, you and Arka, hugged while crying. The atmosphere must have been touching. But, I lost that moment" said Risa, annoyed.
"But, there was no moment of embrace while crying earlier, Sister." chanted Tiara.
"Oh no huh? why could it be like that? Ah, you two are really no fun! sorry I came here. I'm going again!" Risa turned around and left, forgetting her initial goal of wanting to get angry at Arka. Meanwhile, David who had been standing behind him could only look at his wife's departure with a compassionate look felt forgotten and did not get a defense from his wife.
"Hey, why are you two still standing there? you guys should have given them some space, but then, they were embarrassed to hug!" suddenly Risa was back standing in the doorway.
"Eh, yes!" david and Tiara suddenly felt awkward. They finally followed Risa outside.
"You're free to embrace now! doing more is also okay, because I know that you two have been on a long vacation and there must be something that accumulates and needs to be removed!" risa said while closing the door.
The situation inside the room, was suddenly silent, because both Arka and Ruby suddenly felt awkward.
"Do we have to embrace?" Arka opened her voice nervously.
"Emm, I don't know either" said Ruby, who was no less nervous than Arka.
"Haish, why am I so stupid?" Arka grumbled while scratching his head that did not itch at all.
"You were a fool long ago!" it was not Ruby who spoke but a voice from behind the door.
"Hey, you three are still at the door!" Shouted Arka while walking towards the door.
Meanwhile, outside Risa's room, David and Tiara who had been sticking ears on the door, suddenly ran as soon as they heard Arka's footsteps.
