Whose fault?

"what is this? Can you explain?..Why are you silent....Arga ....Mitha...explain? ...

Why are you quiet? Please explain"

ayu's face was already flushed red between pain, disappointment, curiosity and confusion.

Her eyes were fixed on Mitha's bulging stomach.

"Mitha are you pregnant?..What is this....Arg...."

Ayu shook her own bell, her world was as fleeting as pitch-black inside the narrow tunnel....

Uhh...

Ayu shouted to herself, holding her head stepping back slowly.

"Toggle me...."

Mitha looked at Ayu with glass.

While Ayu's body increasingly lost balance, staggered. Arga swiftly grabbed the small body of his wife and clenched tightly in her arms.

"explain Arga.explain..."

Ayu said increasingly shrewd until the end of his unconscious.

"what should I do?"

Mitha asked looking at Ayu's body lying with a deathly pale face.

Arga just silently stroked the top of his wife's head, her face looked sad and confused.

"say Ga? I should how?"

Mitha repeated her question in a high tone.

"i'm sorry Mit.

You and Ayu are innocent..."

The atmosphere of the spacious living room with classic corner chairs became silent.

Two people were sitting quietly with each other, and one was lying weakly.

"was I wrong if I took your responsibility?"

Mitha looked at Arga deeply

"you are not wrong...."

Arga looked down lethargic, his thoughts were chaotic.

"i'll get you some water"

Mitha left while rubbing the clear hair that fell from the corner of her eye.

This whole thing is hard, though,

From Mitha's point of view, she had not wrongly claimed Arga's responsibility for her pregnancy.

However from Ayu's point of view she is guilty because Arga is her lawful husband.

"Just.wake Yuk....Come on, wake up baby.Don't worry me, Yuk.from yesterday you often fainted, make me worry...Come on, wake up, baby"

Arga shook his wife's body slowly lying down, in a swipe of her head and her brow full of affection made a pain in Mitha's heart when she saw the scene from behind.

"do we take him to the doctor?"

"we wait a minute"

"drink, you must be tired after a long journey"

Mitha thrust a warm tea at Arga, with slightly trembling hands, Arga drew her tea.

"do you love her?"

Arga looked at Mitha Sayu, not answering only being able to look down.

Without Arga answering, Mitha already knew her answer, in her swab the tears that began to fall from her eyelids, and in her elus elus stomach that had started to bulge.

"how's your content? Healthier"

an awkward question.

Mitha just nodded

"then ...where are your parents?"

"they were going to the sodara house in surabaya, saturahmi, as well as inviting them to make....."

Mitha stopped her words

"why?"

"they thought you'd be here to marry me"

Mitha's tears were increasingly flowing profusely considering the events that had just happened.

"i'll still be responsible for all of this"

replied Arga lirih.

the atmosphere became silent in the accompaniment with the sound of adzan magrib reverberating.

Jamari Ayu moved slowly to hear the sound of Adzan that resounded quite loudly.

"Well, you're sober baby, wake up baby don't worry me"

Arga shook Ayu's pretty face while kissing her full of affection.

Ayu pranks slowly trying to remember the incident that just happened, by holding her head that feels unusually sick Ayu tries to wake up from her sleep to sit down.

"i need an explanation"

Ayu was still twitching her forehead slowly which was very sick

"Drink some warm tea first"

Mitha poured warm tea.

The atmosphere was silent for a moment, there were no words, no sounds...

"how many months?"

Ayu asked without looking at the two

"it's been 5 months"

Ayu repeated Mitha's response in disbelief

"at that time I really messed up when you ran away from the engagement"

Arga stopped his words, lit a cigarette, and sucked slowly bringing a lump of smoke carried by the wind throughout the room.

"i decided to move abroad.I came home seven months ago, when I was told that your household was unhappy."

Arga stopped his words again

"i found out all through your best friend Mitha, because too often communicate and exchange ideas with her.I feel comfortable with Mitha"

Ayu shook her head slowly

"then ... Why did you take it for granted when you betrothed me?"

"honestly, I haven't been able to move on from you, even though we were in a match just because of our grandfather, but since hearing your name and looking for all the articles about you, I've been in love, I've been in love, even though we've never met"

Slowly a clear circle appeared in the corner of Ayu's beautiful eyes.

"if you love, you won't bring a third person"

Ayu looked at Mitha inside, she could not believe that the friend who had been considered like a brother to her turned out to be the third person, when she had started to open her heart to Arga.

"it's not fair that you blame Arga Yuk completely"

Mitha's flat face stared at the figure who had been very close to her all along

"well.I know.I realize.I'm not worth the love of Arga so great"

Ayu covered her face with both her hands, sobbing. He felt that he was the one who had died in an arranged marriage with Arga.

"but why should Mitha Ga...why should my best friend?"

"forgive me. I thought, you won't be serious about our marriage.and I feel comfortable with Mitha"

Arga looked down weakly...

"then what now?"

The three of them were just silent, looking down busy with their respective thoughts.

"it's funny Ga, you repeatedly say love to me, say I'm the one woman you love but.the fact is there is a third person among us"

"i'm not the third man Yuk, I was with Arga 7 months ago, when you were Novan's wife.I never took Arga from you"

"so.I took Arga from you..."

Ayu said a little fierce either to Mitha on Arga or kah on herself. Ayu can almost treat her heart injury because of her ex-husband, but now it is precisely the man that Ayu thinks can treat her wound instead of giving her a deeper wound.

Then what kind of man should Ayu trust.

"i'm the one who's wrong.give you both hope..."

"while your heart still belongs to Ayu?"

Mitha cut Arga's sentence fast

"it turns out here I'm the one who's the stupid woman who believes in a man's sweet mouth"

Mitha rubbed a clear circle in the corner of her eyes while rubbing her protruding stomach.

"lantas ..is it wrong for me to take responsibility for the baby in my womb?"

Mitha said more and more softly, but so raining felt in Ayu's chest.

"you'd better solve your problems.I'm of no use here"

Ayu said she was about to move but Arga blocked her hand.

"i don't want you to go, I really love you Yuk"

"then what about Mitha?"

"i will continue to take responsibility for my actions"

"then what about my parents?"

Mitha interjected, thinking of her parents who had invited distant relatives thought Arga would marry her to take responsibility for her pregnancy.

"you just finish it...."

Ayu's tears are getting louder, her heart is really slashed like a sembilu.

Trying to let go of Arga's hand and leave

"Tell me please.stay here Yuk.I love you Yuk"

Arga followed Ayu who stepped out in following Mitha.

"here I am the guilty, the selfish"

Styled brick Ayu said holding back tears...

"Father.."

Mitha blocked Arga's hand that was about to catch up with Ayu, while outside, Mitha's family had come along with her family

"there are guests"

A girl, Mitha's mother.

Ayu ignored, and immediately ran out after having a look back where Mitha blocked Arga's hand that wanted to chase after her.

Her cries unstoppable again, Ayu immediately ran from the house which made her heart broken not left..

His mind is so messed up, he doesn't know who to blame....

Must be how, and what should be explained to his family is also the Arga family.

I don't know how far Ayu ran, crying hysterically all the way like a possessed person, the pain in her head was defeated by the pain in her chest...

the dark day made the atmosphere of the streets quiet so Ayu did not become a spectacle because of running and hysterical on the streets.

"jek sir"

"yes, where's buk?"

"to the taxi base that can get out of town sir"

"get ready, I'll take the buk"

With in between the ojek Ayu looking for a taxi to go home soon.
