My Husband's Regret
part 16's. Good news

"Your friend, what's wrong?" Arum immediately barged inside, running in search of the existence of the Kingdom.

I chose to wait in the car. Occasionally trying to contact Gio, wanting to tell the man if they would be a little late.

"Mom..." Call Arum again. His steps grew faster as soon as his hearing clearly heard the sound of Kingdom crying from the direction of the main room.

The door is open, so Arum can see clearly if the woman is being hugged by Romzi.

"What's up, dad?"

Romzi let go of his embrace and signaled to Arum to get closer.

"Please mama, yes, I'll get you some water." Declared.

Arum immediately embraced Raya.

"Your friend, what's wrong?"

Raya hugged Arum's body tightly. Her crying was a little bit off.

"Argha... Argene..." Say it with a choppy voice.

Arum's forehead shriveled.

"gold Arga? what's wrong with Arga?"

Honestly speaking, Arum's heart rumbled to hear that name. There's anxiety there.

"mom, what's wrong? did something happen to Arga's mas?" Worriedly.

Arum looked at Raya fixedly asking for an explanation. The middle-aged woman wiped away the rest of her tears.

"Arum, please call Arga? he's so down there. Arga needs you. Mom begged you." With a gaze full of pleading Raya asked.

Arum's hand he held tightly. Shortly after Romzi returned, the man gave Raya a glass of water. Dislike him talking.

"Don't impose your will. Arum has the right to make his choice." Sela Romzi's.

Arum swallowed his saliva. Now the two parents look at each other with a view of dislike. Romzi let out a long sigh, then looked at Arum and said very slowly.

"Arum, don't think about Arga. He's fine."

"Mas, why is that? Arga's not doing well right now. Didn't Yohan say that if our son has been out of the room for almost a month, he doesn't even touch his food every day. Arga just shut up and locked himself in the room. do you have the heart? my heart aches and worries. I'm her mother, I know what Arga's feeling right now." Sela Raya's. His voice is so shrill.

Arum was slightly stunned, only this time hearing Raya so emotional. Even long ago knowing Arga had betrayed Arum, the middle-aged woman was not so emotional. Just plain anger and no glint of emotion in his eyes.

Raya quickly touched Arum's hand.

"Arum, isn't there a little love left in your heart? you and Arga have been together for a long time.you've been dating since High School. Arum's..." Raya keep talking. "Arga loves you very much. He's fucked up now because he's away from you. He needs you. Has your relationship been meaningless for years? nothing in your heart?"

Without Arum noticing, his eyes were now condensing. Over the years of being in love and finally going to the stage of marriage made all those sweet memories he could not forget. That fact is indeed difficult Arum removed from memory.

But, the betrayal was as if a thorn stuck between the flesh. All the sweetness of love is lost and replaced by bitterness. Arum was just as incapable of relieving the pain.

"Arum..." Call Raya, shake her arm so just the silence she got.

Arum woke up from his daydream. He lowered his head hiding his teary eyes. The shadow of the past plus the shadow where Arga who was in the middle along with her affair seemed to squeeze her heart so strong.

He took a breath and slowly breathed it out. However, his heart still hurt every time he remembered Arga's betrayal. All the love that man gave was covered up with just one mistake.

"Arum, please. Just once you call Arga." Raya is still trying to persuade him.

"Well, Arum is not ready. Arum's heart can't forgive Arga mas." Arum said in a very slow voice barely audible.

This time he refused the request. Arum was not ready to hear Arga's voice, fearing that his defenses might collapse. And his heart that was beginning to improve was again struck down by the wound. Arum just wants to keep his heart no more.

Flabbergasted. He really did not expect to get a rejection. Arum always obeyed him. He just wants Arga to be okay there, maybe if Arum contacts him at least Arga will get a little spirit.

"you refused?" Tanya with disappointment.

Romzi took a deep breath and exhaled violently. He knew Arum was uncomfortable now, and he quickly asked him to come home.

"Arum, go home. I know, you're not good now." He said softly.

Arum looked up at Romzi. The man nodded his head gesturing if Arum could leave immediately now. While Raya was completely silent, the woman pulled her hand from Arum's arm. It is obvious to be disappointed with Arum.

Arum's heart became unsettled to see Raya who threw away her gaze. Want to open his mouth but Romzi again gave a signal to him to leave immediately. With a heavy heart, Arum came out.

"Arum, you've been a long time.What's really going on?" Tanya Misses once Arum returns.

But there was an answer just a sobbing that sounded. Missing panic, he immediately raised Arum's face to make sure that his best friend was crying.

"Arum, what's wrong with you? what the hell is going on? did something happen to the Auntie Kingdom?" Panic Homesick.

Arum shook his head. He can't talk right now, just cry. I missed starting the engine of the car. He knows that Arum is not okay. He immediately drove his car.

His intention to visit Gio's house was back. Missed feeling that Arum needed calm right now. So he chose to bring her home.

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

Gio sprinkled flowers on a red mound of dirt that a few minutes ago hoarded his mother's body. His eyes were glazed over, he tried to hold back so as not to cry again.

Now he is truly himself. Smiling looking at the two adjoining tombs. Both of his parents were calm now.

Drr...

Gio wiped away his dripping tears violently. I cleared my throat before picking up the phone.

"Well, it's okay, thanks for missing." He nodded with disappointment.

His sad heart is now growing when he gets a call from Miss. The woman said if she couldn't bring Arum, I don't know why. But Gio felt that Arum might still be angry at him for bothering him this morning.

Maybe next time he should apologize to her. But honestly, Gio did not feel hurt by Arum's attitude. His love is so great for that woman.

Meanwhile, somewhere else. Arga was throwing some stuff nearby. He goes berserk without Yohan and Jessie knowing what caused it.

"Go..." Pekik hard.

Jessie cries to see it, she steps closer so Arga no longer throws anything.

"Jess, no." Yohan held him back, fearing that her daughter would be hurt by Arga's actions.

Jessie didn't pay attention to that. He stayed close and then with a bang he hugged the body. Arga was stunned, his hand that was about to push Jessie's small body was floating in the air.

"please, stop acting like a child. You must be able to survive and heal. Don't you want to go back to your ex-wife? try to heal, don't give up." Actually Jessie said that with a sick heart.

He loves Arga. First love for him but his heart will hurt more if he sees Arga who is so bad. Not having a spirit of life at all. Jessie just wants Arga to be happy, that's nothing more.

Yohan was surprised by what Jessie did. The woman managed to calm Arga down.

Arga looked fixed on Jessie's face, there was sincerity there. Slowly Arga calms down, releasing Jessie's embrace.

"Leave me alone." Her request.

Yohan quickly pulls Jessie out of the room. He just doesn't want Arga back on the rampage if they don't comply immediately.

Arga clenched his hand. It's not a rage without reason. His anger peaked when someone sent back some photos of Arum with another man.

Obviously, the photo was just taken and sent directly to him. Date and time there. He was angry and upset to see how Arum was standing alone with a man in front of his house. Arga assumes the two will go together because it looks like a car is parked not far from the two.

During these months he locked himself in the room, his spirit to be able to walk completely disappeared because he kept thinking about Arum who now no longer cares about him.

But, Jessie's words a moment ago made her feel there was warmth. I don't know what the reason is, but Arga feels that what Jessie said is true. He must recover and go back to Arum. He has to prove himself, if Arum really has forgotten it now.
