My Husband's Regret
part 13's. Contrition

The atmosphere is quite tense. Daren's face looks unfriendly. He stared at the two pieces now sitting in front of him. I was disappointed that the two did not tell him. Though it is clear Arum is his favorite daughter, no one can hurt Arum let alone to make him hurt like this.

"you covered everything up to protect your son?" Accuse Daren.

Romzi sighed.

"pardon us, Daren. But..."

"Dad, I asked father and mother not to tell you..." Arum immediately interjected, even though he knew interrupting the parents' chat was not good.

Daren sees Arum asking for an explanation.

"I just don't want you to be disappointed in my failure to build this relationship. Dad always said, no matter how bitter the state of our household, do not be heard by outsiders let alone parents.we must be able to solve everything with adults, without anyone's interference." Arum's speech made Daren immediately silent.

It's true, he always said that before Arum got married. Daren only wants her daughter to be a strong woman, not much to complain and hear the opinions of others about her household.

Everyone was silent, no one opened their voices anymore. They were just confused which way to talk again.

Romzi also cleared his throat slowly. He apologized to Daren and Hasna. Arga is her son who has hurt their daughter.

"Daren, I as Arga's father apologize to you. Whether you forgive us or not. But..." Romzi glanced at Raya, asking the woman to come talk.

Raya also shifted her seat to be closer to Arum. He held his daughter-in-law's hand, however Arum would still be his daughter-in-law even though his relationship with Arga had been broken.

"We love Arum. I have considered him like my own son. There's no ex-daughter-in-law in my dictionary anyway. Please, allow Arum to stay here. This house we gave him even all the land letters and buildings that are here in Arum's name." Clearly with teary eyes.

It feels heavy if he has to lose Arum. Arga has gone far now who of course does not know will return, he does not want to be left by Arum.

Daren and Hasna look at each other, they know that Raya loves her daughter so much. That is why they feel calm when Arum says he wants to stay apart with them. For the reason of not wanting to hitchhike at her parents' house.

Because Daren knew, Raya and Romzi would definitely pay a lot of attention to Arum without them pinta.

Arum hugged Raya who was crying. Hasna as a mother was also moved. It was hard to find in-laws who were so kind and sincere in love with their son-in-law. Arum was really lucky just behind that luck there was bad luck. Why Arga would betray Arum.

"It's up to Arum." Daren.

"Raya, don't cry. I thank you for loving my son." Hasna stroked Raya's shoulder with a faint smile.

The atmosphere that had been tense now began to feel better. They no longer looked at each other with sharp eyes. Daren has even shown his friendly look to Romzi and Raya.

They decide to remain in a family relationship even though Arum and Arga are no longer married couples.

...***************...

Arga looked at Jessie not like it. The woman continued to babble all day. From morning to noon he just talks. A little work and talkative, the kind of woman Arga hates.

"then are your legs now starting to feel numb again? if it's pinching like this, it hurts, doesn't it?" Jessie pinched Arga's thigh, only slowly but enough to make the man grimace.

"You think my whole body is paralyzed?" Ketus Arga snapped a little.

Jessie laughed a little. I don't know for him Arga's fierce and difficult attitude to talk made him more interested in tempting the man.

"I know, just knee down." He said, "i'm just kidding."

Arga turned his wheelchair, lazy to be alone with a woman who talks a lot.

Jessie hurriedly placed the plate containing the pear on the table and soon followed Arga who entered the room.

"Remember..." Call it with whining that usually always succeeds in making anyone immediately melt down.

But, the difference with Arga. The man cared about his hearing.

Brakes...

Closing the front door hard and locking it.

"why is Arga so? do you still remember your ex-wife? he doesn't care what you're for..."

"Jessie, enough." Yohan immediately pulled Jessie's hand away from Arga's room.

The man almost snapped at his adopted daughter.

"Daddy?"

"Jess, Daddy asked you to take care of Arga's needs. Why are you acting like that?"

Jessie brushed off Yohan's hand. The 19-year-old woman immediately threw her gaze downwards, her eyes staring at the marble floor uneasily.

"Dad, I love Arga mas. every time Daddy told me about it I always felt pounding and..." Jessie looked up, looking at Yohan with watery eyes. "now that I met in person, I can't hide this feeling."

Yohan took a deep breath. Jessie's confession made her feel that what she had done was a big mistake. Why he used to tell this woman about Arga. How great Arga is, still young but already a leader of the company. Smart people are also devoted to their parents.

If she hadn't told me all that, Jessie wouldn't have felt this way.

Yohan stroked Jessie's head.

"Listen Jess, Arga's my brother's son. So..."

"So what?" Sela Jessie's. "I'm not Daddy's son, it doesn't matter if I'm married to Arga's mas." His scream then ran away leaving Yohan.

Arga who heard it all from inside his room could only close his eyes. Why it has to be like this.

"Arum..." Lirih.

Arga misses Arum. He is a helpless man now. His spirit to heal suddenly disappeared once he got a message from someone.

[Arum is happy without you. So stay as far away as you can. don't nullify my friend's happiness.]

That message Arga got a few minutes ago. A sentence that is enough to make Arga limp added some photos of Arum with a man, they were eating together. It was obvious, Arum looked happy. His smile was so wide and his eyes twinkled.

His heart rumbled when he saw the man's face. Arga clenched his hands tightly until his knuckles turned white.

"So.you're back." Hisses.

...**************...

Gio and Rindu bertos ria. They look happy because they have managed to make Arga fucked.

"The man must be upset right now." Longed to laugh curled up at how angry Arga was at this moment.

"I want to avenge all my pain first. Now I'll take it."

Longs to embrace Gio's shoulder.

"Good and how's Auntie doing?"

"Good enough, last night I took Arum."

"oh..yeah, then what?" Missing seems curious.

Gio let out a heavy sigh.

"A angry roar."

The forehead misses frowning. Gio said everything. The woman could only pat Gio on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement. He just hopes Arum will be happy and Gio is the right man.

Maybe miss too much interference, he was aware of it. But his goal is good, he just wants his best friend to be happy no more.
