Love Coiled Stains
Riko Decision

I've been uncovering the truth about what's been happening to me all this time.

"Why can you do this to me Santi? What's my fault with you?" Ask me with a trembling tone holding back my cries.

"Rea, what are you talking about? Don't ruin my wedding like this dong" Santi is still evasive.

"Eh, Santi you know, if I don't appreciate my wife Rea, maybe I've exposed her out there in front of a lot of people. But this Rea still thinks of you. He brought you here so that the invited guests do not hear and do not know your rottenness all this time" explained Arga is indeed full of emotions.

"So it's true what they said, didn't Santi?"

Santi just kept silent could not answer what was asked by Riko.

"They lied. What you say is all a lie" Santi said in self-defense.

"Lied how? Dimas has told me everything" said Arga.

"Dimas? Dimas who met you at the mall. You said he was Rea's friend" Riko said

Arga told Riko, Maya, both my parents and Santi's parents.

"Sorry all, I came here just to say that I'm innocent. I just want to fix everything to this misunderstanding"

"Let's get our Arga home" I added again pulled Arga's hand to go home.

Riko, both Santi and Maya's parents seem disappointed by what Santi did to me.

"Oh yes Santi. I'd like to say thank you to you. Because your plan is now Rea's mine. I have a good wife at this time" Arga said then out of the house.

Seeing me and Arga leaving the house, Santi's father chased us.

"Rea, Arga" Tegur her. We stopped our steps.

"Yes uncle" answered me.

"Uncle apologizes to you and Arga for Santi's attitude all along. Uncle did not expect Santi to be able to do this at all" he said with a look of sadness and disappointment.

"Uncle, I apologize for ruining Santi's wedding" I replied gently

"Son, if you can, please forgive Santi maybe he was caliph" said Santi's father begging.

"Nothing uncle, all of it has happened. Again, we apologize for all this. Excuse me first" said R

Arga pulled my hand.

"Assalamualaikum" I said again.

"Girishal"

Santi sat on the floor helpless. He felt very weak at this moment like there was no bone supporting his body. He did not expect that Dimas could dismantle all his maladies. He had run out of money to pay for it.

Santi pulls Riko's hand.

"Riko, you must hear my explanation first Ko" said Santi pleading.

Riko pulled her hand that Santi was holding earlier.

"It's Santi, there's nothing you need to be clear about anymore. All this is clear" Riko said.

He was very disappointed in Santi.

"Ko, I'm doing all this because I love you"

"Yes I know that. But do you have to drop your friend's pride, the friendship that you have forged so far is destroyed instantly just because of your selfishness. Do you need to do that?" Riko said with great disappointment.

"I've been hesitant all this time to marry you. It turns out you're two-faced. In front of me and your mother you're acting like angels. But behind us, like this is your behavior" he said again.

"You know it's not that Rea never accepted my love because of you. Because he won't ruin your friendship.. But you, you can do this bad just to get what you want" said Riko.

"Riko I'm sorry. Please forgive me" Santi continued to plead.

"Please don't touch Santi" Riko said.

"I know Ko if you're disappointed with me"

"Yes, I'm disappointed in you" Riko yelled.

Hearing Riko scream Santi covered her ears.

"Silent... " The words come screaming.

"It's all because of Rea. It's Rea's fault" she insisted.

"What's? Wrong Rea? Where can you say this is Rea's fault?"

"You made this mistake so her late Rea had to marry Arga, now you blame her? Here Rea is the victim. And now you want to change the fact that you're the victim of all this?" Said Riko smiling mockingly.

"Richord,. It's her fault, why does she have to come to our wedding like this? Which makes our show messy like this. He was intent on separating me and you. He was intentional about ruining our party" Santi explained.

"Santi, do you realize what you're saying? He's here because he just found out the truth now" explained Riko.

Santi was crying, he kept crying. The girl did not expect that on her wedding day it was broken like this. The most anticipated day of his life is now falling apart just because the truth he has been covering up has been uncovered.

"Actually, if Rea wanted to she could have said all this in front of the invited guests, in front of our brothers, your foul behavior is Santi. But he didn't do that he took you into this house and spoke kindly so that those out there wouldn't hear what's really going on all this time. Where you have kept the rot in our relationship. It's all because of what? It's all because she's a good woman unlike you who can plunge her, trapping her so that she's looked down upon by everyone" Riko said with disappointment.

"I did it because I love you Ko. I want you to be my right" Santi said in a trembling voice.

"Because of you, I've lost Rea. And because you're my mother hates her" she added.

"Ko, why can't you open your heart for me all this time? Didn't you realize that I loved you since the first time we met? But why is your view only on Rea? I hurt Ko.I want you in my life"

"But I never wanted you in my life. I've tried to open my heart to you for the sake of my mother who wants you to be my life partner. Because my mom thinks you're a good woman. But what is it? In your kindness so far there is a very fatal rot that cannot be forgiven" said Riko.

Maya and her mother Santi just cried hearing their son's quarrel.

"Ko, please forgive me. I promise I will be the best for you. Please give me a chance" Santi pleaded with Riko.

"I don't know Santi, I'm enough. Disappointed with what you're doing"

"Son, please don't be like this. Please give Santi a chance to be a good wife. You just got married, son. Not likely.... " Said Santi's mother.

"Sorry buk. I can't continue this relationship. This heart does not love him. I married her because of my mother's will, who was convinced that she was the best woman for me. But, now I'm sure she can't necessarily be the best wife. Evidently with his best friend who has been in a friendly relationship for years he could trap her" said Riko gently to his mother Santi so that he did not take offense at his rejection.

Santi's mother was silent, unable to answer anything. He also felt embarrassed if he forced Riko to stay because Santi was the one who was guilty.

"Riko, please don't be like this. I do this because I love you" Santi continued to persuade Riko.

"Me, I'm dead-end. I was confused as to what to do to separate you and Rea. And make you open your eyes to be able to accept me" said Santi seduce.

"Keep, have you made it like this, and explaining everything makes me forgive you?"

"But Riko, please give Santi a chance" Pinta Santi's mother again.

"Sorry buk, almost a year he played me and my mother. In front of us he was like an angel. But it turns out that he is the mastermind of everything" explained Riko with full disappointment.

"Please Riko, give me a chance to be the best wife for you" said Santi again begging.

"Sorry Santi. I'm very disappointed in you. I really can't accept you as a friend what's more a wife" Riko said.

"Richo.... " Ma let out her voice in order for Riko to retract her words. Although his heart was disappointed, but he could not bear to see Santi like that. Just got married and have not had time to feel the first night has become a widow.

"Oh, please don't force me to take Santi back. All this time I have tried to accept Santi wholeheartedly. But, now I'm disappointed with her buk. I'm very, very disappointed"

"Ko, please don't talk like that"

"Riko, please forgive Santi's mistake. The passing let pass. All of this is fate. Please accept Santi as your wife" Santi's mother said.

"Sorry buk, I can't live with anger. I'm also an ordinary man. Have a heart and feelings. How can I accept the person who has broken my heart with the lies he has been doing all this time" said Riko.

"Don't talk like that Riko" Santi said again.

"Santi, you are my friend. The friend I've been flattering all this time. You who have been present in a difficult situation and are happy to get me. But starting from today, I don't want any more relationship with you. I'll take care of our divorce papers in court as soon as possible"

"Riko, don't do that. I've asked you for a chance once"

"Yes Allah Riko up to your decision" said Santi's mother.

"Sorry buk, I can't force my heart anymore. Maybe this is a bad decision for everyone. But this is the best decision for me, for my life .I cannot continue this relationship because I cannot accept Santi fully in my life. I don't want to be tormented by this relationship and I don't want to make Santi suffer with this relationship. Because I can't accept it and I'm afraid that later I can't be a good husband to him. Therefore it is better this is the decision I choose" explained Riko.

***

I went into my room. I was crying full of sadness. Well sad when I saw her father Santi apologizing like that to me. How would both of Santi's parents feel knowing her child was like that. And what do people say about their families?

That's what makes me sad. I'm sorry for doing this to Santi.

"Son" Bewildered my mother into the room.

"Mother" I said hugging my mother.

"Oh, I'm sorry"

"Why? What are you apologizing for?"

"Because it has made a mess at Santi buk's wedding" I said.

"Darling, you're not wrong. You've done the right thing. You just want to clear your good name" Obviously my mother stroked my head.

"But buk, I can't bear to see Santi's father apologizing to me earlier. I feel guilty about her"

"It's the boy. This whole thing happened. I also didn't expect Santi to trap you like that"

"I also didn't expect to. It turns out he was the mastermind of all this. Allah is fair, He has shown the truth" I said.

"Where do you know this from, son?"

"From Dimas buk's. I met her a few days ago. He told me all about it buk"

"I also don't know why he told me all this. Perhaps it is because God has opened his heart to tell all these truths so that these truths are clear. And who was the mastermind of this incident was uncovered and it was revealed that it also brought me innocence" I said again.

"Yes, son, this is all clear. You're innocent and especially in your office. You didn't embezzle your company's money"

"Yes buk, but I do not mind my work problem that is important at this time is that I have fixed my good name and also improved the name of mother and father. Where they look at us with one eye as a result of that event. But now it's been proven that I'm innocent at all I'm just being framed"

"Yes, son, don't be sad anymore. Everything's gonna be fine" said my mother, peeping at the top of my head.

Arga came near us. He just stood there watching the drama I was doing with my mother.

"Yes, mother came out first" said my mother gave us both time.
