Mrs. Inez stared at Ara sharply.
“For a long time I'm getting sick of seeing you in this house!” she got up from her seat and followed her husband.
“Mother is right, this woman is just a parasite in this house,” said Bastian, then he also woke up leaving the dining room.
Ara lowered her face, enduring the tightness that was within her chest. Her eyes were hot and tears welled up in her eyes. He doesn't know what to do anymore. Actually living in this house was very painful but he survived for Jack.
Actually living in Paris is better but he does not know why Jack wants to go home when the conditions in this house like this. He had promised not to interfere in any affairs in this house, but he could not keep Jack's family using Jack at will.
Not feeling it, the tears fell on his lap.
Jack was silent to watch his family's unchangeable attitude, still behaving rudely to his wife. Though he had given his leeway by not judging his family because after all they were his family, but seeing his family's attitude towards Ara who was still oppressing him, made him feel annoyed.
Jack's face turned red with an irrepressible rage. He could no longer pretend to be depressed. He had to act immediately, but his business was not finished yet.
Jack turned his head towards Ara, he was surprised when he saw his wife was looking down holding sobs and tears that spilled into his lap.
Jack immediately changed his sitting position facing Ara.
“Honey,” call Jack.
Ara wiped away her tears with her palm, then turned to look at Jack.
“They hate me so much, your family hate me so much, I just try to protect you, I don't want your family to take advantage of you at will, am I wrong?” he asked, the tears began to drip on his cheeks.
Seeing it really makes Jack's heart feel sad and guilty. He could not bear to see the tears fall on his wife's cheek.
“I think by marrying you, I will have a new family but it is not the family I got, but the enemy. I didn't expect my presence to be an enemy in my husband's home,”.
“I know Arum means a lot in your life, but I don't want you to be cared for by Arum, I don't want any other woman to take care of you other than me, I don't want to,”, shake his head.
Jack looked at his wife sadly, he felt more and more guilty about bringing his wife into agony.
Jack immediately stretched out his hand, held onto Ara's cheek and wiped away her tears, he did not want to see the tears on his wife's face. He drew his face closer to Ara.
“Honey,” he said again, his hand again rubbed the tears on his cheek Ara.
“Do not cry,” he said again.
Hearing Jack's words made Ara cry even more and the tears became more unstoppable. Ara knew that even though Jack had not healed properly but her husband loved her very much, he was sure of that.
Jack's hands were busy wiping away Ara's tears. He never intended to hurt anyone who would be his wife. She married him to Ara. His depressive condition was never intended to hurt anyone else let alone his own wife.
“Don't cry,” continued Jack again, sticking his forehead to Ara's forehead, both hands still holding her cheeks Ara, looking at those watery eyes that were only a few inches in front of her.
“Don't, don't cry,” the reset again, re-delete the tears on her cheek Ara.
Jack slowly kissed Ara's lips gently, he tried to strengthen his wife by kissing her, but she sobbed again, Jackpun was again busy wiping away Ara's tears, he did not want any tears to shed.
Ara cried again not because of the attitude of Jack's family earlier, but because she felt touched by Jack's attitude that always tried to protect her despite depression, the man was busy wiping his tears.
Jack glanced at Mr. Beni because he was confused, he could not stop the tears that spilled on his cheeks Ara. Mr. Beni just silently looked down sad. She could also understand it would not be easy being his Master's wife.
“I'll see Arum,” said Ara suddenly, looking into Jack's eyes.
“I want you healed, but that doesn't mean letting you take care of another woman, even if it's Arum, I don't want to! I'm sure Mr.Ferdi is planning badly, I'm sure Mr.Ferdi deliberately kept you away from me, I won't let that happen.”.
Jack does not answer, he also wants to meet with Arum to make sure it is Arum or not, but not to be close to Arum. He has found his soul mate, his wife, he needs no other woman than his wife.
“Mistress, Sir will go to Paris now, I hope Madam can take good care of herself here. After the Master's business is done, I will immediately take the Master home,” said Mr. Beni.
“I will wait for you to come home,” Ara said, and try to smile.
“Go home,” says Jack.
“Yes, you must go home, I wait for you,” Ara said again.
Jack was delighted to see his wife smiling, promising that he would return home soon after his affairs were completed in Paris. Jack brought his face closer and kissed Ara's lips gently.
This time Ara suddenly pecked, not moving, her body became stiff, she only realized that Jack kissed her lips several times, ah it turns out that the man had kissed her several times! It's just getting harder to let Jack go to Paris without him.
*********
Jack and Beni's departure felt so heavy for Ara. Yesterday he separated for some time when he was brought home his father felt so heavy especially now for days, although Jack would still make him feel lost.
Ara could only wave her hand as the car left Jack's mansion.
The sound of footsteps approached Ara who let go of Jack.
“You feel sad parting ways with Jack?” asked the voice of the owner of the step who was standing beside Ara also looked towards the gate of the house.
“Of course, this is the first time I parted ways with Jack, ” replied Ara, without turning her head because she already knew that her mother-in-law was standing next to her.
“Hopefully Jack quickly returns,” said Ny. Inez.
“Of course, he will return,” said Ara, while changing the position of his establishment to face Ny. Inez.
“When are we going to meet Arum? I've spoken to Jack that I'm going to see Arum,” said Ara.
“We leave now!” answered Ms. Inez.
Actually Ms. Inez does not like Ara to interfere in her family affairs, but she also does not want to be blamed let alone reported Ara to the authorities if something happens to Jack.
“I get ready for a while,” said Ara, then left her mother-in-law on the terrace.
Inside her room, Ara went to walk in closet to change clothes. When he saw the closet where Jack's timepieces were stored, he suddenly remembered the picture of Arum stored in the closet drawer.
With a feeling of remorse, Ara opened the drawer and took a picture of Arum with Jack as a child.
Ara looked at the photo and touched little Arum.
“Arum, if you are indeed his little friend Jack who drowned in the sea, I am sure your presence now is not to take Jack from me,” said Ara, then let out a long sigh trying to calm him down.
He said it was trying to amuse itself and dispel the various prejudices that would occur upon meeting Arum.
After feeling enough to talk to Arum, Ara saved the photo back in the drawer and rushed to change clothes, not to miss. Inez waited a long time and left him.
Sure enough, his mother-in-law looked frowning because she changed clothes too long, especially Mr. Ferdi was also in the guest room with his sour face.
“Why are you so long? I thought you lost before the war! You changed your mind not to meet Arum,” said Ny. Inez.
“Why should I change my mind? There is nothing I fear to meet Arum,” said Ara, calmly. Trying to be calm, in this condition he must be calm.
Mr. Ferdi said nothing, he just looked at Ara and looked upset, then got up from his seat, walked towards the exit of the house.
Mrs. Inez and Ara follow her steps out of the house, towards her home. Imelda.
