Raka let go of his embrace, holding his wife's hand affectionately towards the guest sofa, where the slightly stiffened-faced man stood clumsily.
"Sorry baby, so you have to come here because I can't pick up, there are some clients coming, and this is also there that guests want to meet." Said Raka with a regretful look.
The man in neat clothes and macho appearance stole a glance at Sarah who was walking in those short steps, trying to hide the dazzled and shocked gaze at the same time.
"Honey, this is the architect who handles our house, in the initial draft of the proposal he has been recommended by Home Arch . But since I've already canceled the cooperation involving Tania's mother, it feels like I need you to check on her." Raka pulls Sarah's hand.
"This is my wife, Sarah..."
Raka wrapped her hand on Sarah's shoulder casually.
The man stuck out his hand doubtfully, but Sarah did not respond at all to welcome him.
Sarah turned her face and looked at Raka with a smile.
"I've known him, dear.his name is Egi Prasaja."
The man named Egi lowered his hand that was floating in the air because it was ignored by Sarah just like that, his face reddened feeling like he was being humiliated on purpose.
"Oh, yes..Do you know him?" Raka raised her eyebrows as if it was so surprising, when she knew that this was a jerk who became her ex-boyfriend in the past.
"I hope he still knows me, baby. Or maybe I'm too ugly to forget." Sarah laughed a little like satire.
"Hey, this wife of mine is the most beautiful woman in the world, who says my mistress is ugly maybe she should face me." Raka looked so serious while deliberately wiping the strands of Sarah's hair that fell on her forehead, this time really in a way like someone who so admired his wife's face.
"Sir Egi, I'm sorry to know, since when have you known my wife?" Raka invites Egi to sit down, and pulls Sarah to sit down. The intimacy makes Egi like sitting on coals.
Egi felt his heart pounding on the fire a strange feeling, as he watched Raka treat Sarah so gently and protectively.
"Oh, yes...Sarah uh Sarah's mother.I know her as a college friend." Egi stammered.
"Oooh, buddy. Thank goodness it's just a friend, Mr. Egi. Understand, my wife is a very special woman, she is beautiful, smart and very good. So sometimes I'm a little naive, so scared that many loved him in the past. Mr. Egi knows for himself, people like my wife, must have liked it a lot." Raka chuckled while touching Sarah's chin gently.
Sarah's face flushed, she didn't know if Raka was acting or was really jealous of Egi, but Raka's attitude became a little strange.
Raka's phone suddenly rang, when she saw the contact number that called, Raka took it.
"Eh, sorry, I stayed a while, I had to take a call from a colleague. There's something to discuss." Raka shuffled, holding his wife's shoulder for a moment,
"Please talk first."
Then Raka heard the phone, welcoming in fluent English, apparently her colleague from abroad, before she slipped behind the door.
Sarah stared for a moment at Egi, all the memories of this man in front of her suddenly leaping, suddenly a sense of disgust infiltrated her head. Given how Egi gave him hope and threw him away.
Then, considering that Tania and Raka were playing behind his back, his stomach suddenly became nauseous. No one will feel happy when dealing with people who have cheated on them.
He actually has no feelings for Egi anymore, but a little more still unpleasant to face with people who have betrayed us.
"Sarah.I'm really sorry." That was Egi's first voice, calling his name after all these years disappeared by acting as if he didn't know Sarah, after having an affair with his own friend.
"Oh, sorry for what, huh?" Sarah frowned.
"I'm really sorry if ever..."
"I've forgotten it, don't worry." Sarah interrupted while smiling flatly.
"Because I'm not good at remembering things that aren't important in my life."The sentence seemed to burn Egi's ears instantly.
"If you're still angry because I hurt you, I understand it..."
"There is no need to act as if you understand the feelings of others, because a traitor would have no tolerance for such a thing. It would be foolish to keep my anger for someone like that." Sarah breathed in casually.
"I don't have time to remember the past, because I've had an amazingly happy life with people who love me right. Don't judge our past too highly, because between me and you, I consider it nothing more than a bad experience. That's all." The tone that flowed from that long sentence, was completely devoid of taste at all.
Egi stared in disbelief at Sarah, so many innocent women he knew had changed.
"Oh, yes.I also want to be honest with you about one thing, I don't like you being involved in my life even in the slightest. Especially to design a future home that I will live with my husband and children later."
"I'm sorry, I had to leave you alone for a while, thankfully you already know each other." Raka put her phone on the table again.
Egi looked completely wrong.
"Darling, would you like to see the proposal?" Raka asked suddenly, grabbing a proposal.
"I'm not interested anymore." Suddenly Sarah nodded sharply. Even without seeing the proposal that was in Raka's hands.
"I want to postpone the construction of this house until after I give birth." Sarah's voice was only in low volume, but made Egi feel the sky shake.
This project was so expected Egi, even when his boss Mr. Agra said threatened to be canceled because of the work of Tania, who was not, with great heart he tried to persuade his client back that Tania never told me that the big boss mentioned by Mr. Agra was Sarah's husband!
"Why is that?"Raka frowned, looking at Sarah who was looking at him expressionlessly.
"I just don't want to. Is there a need for a reason, when we don't want something and then don't want to continue? Not everything needs a reason, if we don't want it. Isn't that so, Mr. Egi?" Sarah threw her cynical smile at the man who had once played with her heart.
Egi lowered his face, never expecting to receive this treatment from Sarah, who he knew tended to be resigned and not talk much.
There is not a hint of remaining innocence in the past, Sarah is not the same person anymore.
"If there's nothing important baby, I'll wait in the lobby. Come down quickly, for I don't want to wait too long." Sarah wrapped her hands around Raka's neck, smiled spoiledly at her husband in front of Egi's eyes, then sauntered towards the exit without waiting for any answer from Raka.
When Sarah had actually come out, Raka turned her eyes to Egi with a sharp look in her eyes. All the friendly attitude he had shown from earlier had drastically changed, becoming the gaze of someone on his enemy.
"I love him and my breath feels tight at the thought of someone hurting him." The voice sounded so cold from Raka's mouth.
Suddenly he stood up, pulling on Egi's collar, pulling him to stand parallel to her.
The look on his face hardened, showing a strong dislike.
"I know exactly who you are." Raka's voice sounded growling. Egi's face was red, not expecting to get this rough treatment suddenly from Raka.
"No cooperation whatsoever will happen between us." Raka let go of his grip.
"I am a man who does not like cowardly men who are unfaithful, let alone the heart to betray women. Such men are nothing more than trash." Raka patted Egi on the shoulder as if she was cleaning something, then elegantly handed the proposal from the table to Egi's hand.
"I didn't expect to see you again." Raka said, then walked to the door and opened it, driving the guest away with open.
Egi never felt this kind of treatment, where he felt humiliated in a long way and humiliated by the woman he had once dumped.
Raka stood stiffly, waiting for the hated man and in his jealousy secretly for ever hurting and loving his wife in the past to come out of his room.
Egi is Tania's lover who she took from Sarah in the past, only she doesn't want her to feel awkward and guilty about him if she acts out about him.
Raka just wants to give Sarah a chance to resolve her heartache that may still be restless, that way he hopes his wife does not keep anything that becomes a bitter root in his heart when stepping forward with Raka.
Freeing feelings of resentment and hurt, is only done by courageously facing it and resolving it.
And one thing we can probably remember as a hold when our heart is tempted to cheat on our partner, someone who achieves his happiness by betraying the person who trusts him, you will never be truly happy in the end.
An unfaithful person will receive the same betrayal in time
How he gets it, so will he lose, because that is the karma of an act.
