My wife's a fraud
Rest

A hard slap landed on Arki's cheek upon arriving at the Wibisana residence. Ela has never been this angry in her entire life with her own son. Disappointment was clearly on his face. In fact, all this time he had been trying hard to raise and guide her.

Not yet his heartache subsided because of Arki's confession about his marriage to Gita. Now he's getting word of his son's crazy act of harming his own father. Ela knows Arki hates his father so much. But it looks like the hatred is turning her into Arya. Doing things as horrible as Arya.

“You should all be imprisoned for this kind of act!” snapped Ela.

Arki, Adrian and Aditya just bow to accept all the abuse and long protest from Ela.

“Are you happy with doing that to your own father? Should that be done? I know you hate Arya. But he's still your father! Any reason does not justify your actions!” he continued full of emotion.

“So according to mother in what way should we get justice for Aryan deeds? He killed Aditya's mother, ruined Aunt Salma and Adrian's life, and manipulated Gita's death! We have to accept that being treated like that as Arya!” reply Arki who finally voiced.

Ela was silent for a moment hearing Arki's words. “You mean manipulate Gita's death how?” ela was confused.

“Gita is alive. The one we buried was not Gita, but her stepmother who fled from Arya. They manipulate as if the Gita is dead. He was hidden somewhere else. You don't see me as broken as to know Gita died? I still have to respect and unthinkable to repay all his actions, so?”

Ela held back her tears as Arki explained about the news regarding her daughter-in-law. He knew Arya could indeed do such evil things. He has done evil things to the people around him. Though his heart could not see his own children taking revenge as cruelly.

Every day he grieves over the death of Aditya's mother. That's why he took care of that poor boy. Let go of all the feelings of jealousy and the pain of betrayal by taking care of Aditya. In his heart, he wanted Arya to change. More responsible for all his actions. Ela also knows that Aditya's mother's death was merely a fabrication because she tried to escape Arya's shackles.

Until now, I don't know what he can do to return Arya to the path of truth. End all his crazy actions that are getting out of control. Until now he had been hard to understand that figure. Her own ex-husband, whom she loved wholeheartedly.

“I want Arya to sign divorce papers with my mother and transfer of power and inheritance according to our agreement. The rest I will not do anything else,” Adrian said calmly handed the map on the middle room table.

“I want him dead. Until he dies, I will not give up,” Aditya said chiming in a cold tone.

“Aditya! Stop complicating matters! Your actions against Basuki have broken the law. You will be jailed for doing more than that!” snarled Ela in disbelief.

“I don't care if I have to go to jail. I have to see him die first, it will stop,” Aditya insisted.

She hugged Aditya. He knew how difficult it was to live after his mother died. Didn't expect the grudge he had in his heart this deep. Ela wants Aditya to live a happy life without continuing to be cooped up in her hatred for Arya.

“Your father is now critical, Dit. Enough's enough! Mama please make it stop. The inget that Mama always said to you? You have to live happily. It also means letting go of your grudges. Your father already got the reward, because your actions his heart disease getting worse. Nabila said he might not survive,” pinta Ela on Aditya.

“Good if you don't survive. Means our efforts are not in vain revenge with him,” added Arki.

“Arkian, I don't want to hear anymore—“

“Mom won't hear anything from me about Arya. I was quite satisfied that he went to the hospital in such a situation. If you want to continue to defend him, please. No more business with him. I have to go back to Bogor. Gita needs me more than saying obscure things like this about Arya.”

Arki just went from there. It didn't matter when his mother kept calling his name. It would be hard to argue with Ela if it came to Arya. Arki knows that until now his mother still harbors feelings of love for the cruel man.

There were no demands or requests from him for Arya. His mother was also unable to turn things around as before. Arya was already weak, she was waiting for her death.

Is his mother going to ask them to apologize in front of Arya? Until the apocalypse Arki will not do it. It did not matter if his mother would be sad to see this sad boy. He'll take care of it again after Gita gets out of the hospital. If his mother was angry with him, he would forgive her immediately. Especially when later found out that Gita is now pregnant with her granddaughter.

Gita doesn't know when Arki gets back to the hospital. When he received the call this afternoon from his mother, he immediately went back to Jakarta. Promise to go home soon. Now the man is lying on the couch.

The clock shows at one o'clock in the morning, when Gita woke up feeling thirsty. He got off his bed and approached Arki. Putting a blanket so that her husband does not get cold. For a while Gita kept quiet, sitting on the edge of the sofa while continuing to pay attention to Arki who was sleeping.

The figure looked peaceful in his sleep. Nonetheless, Gita could see Arki was very exhausted. His eye bags twitched faintly, his hair was disheveled and his clothes looked shabby. For these few days surely he had not been able to rest properly.

A few days ago he came to his aid, beat up the people who ruined his shop and persecuted Gita. Risa had come and told me, seeing how angry Arki was when she saw Gita beaten. Amang Tukang Rujak named Sobri also told me that Arki paralyzed all of Basuki's subordinates so that they were not left alone.

You can imagine how scary Arki was at that time. But for Gita he deserves to be called a hero. Yeah, Arki's always been a hero in his life. Even before all the fraud and marriage scenarios with him were carried out. He's the boss at work who helped him a few times.

The Gita doesn't know when until all this male kindness is replaced by hatred. Gita shouldn't have hated Arki that much. Maybe things like now won't happen.

She was thinking back about her husband. He is not perfect. Angry, authoritarian, possessive and perhaps the most difficult Gita to accept to hate him is the fact that Arki has spent many nights in his life sleeping with women other than Gita. Though she always wanted her husband to be the one to take care of himself as well.

But now the Gita is more accepting. It's all the past. All those women are Arki's past. Only Gita will be his future. Arki has also proved enough that he is sorry and will change. I will not be tempted by any woman anymore. Although sometimes the fear is still Gita felt.

Gita's soft kiss landed on Arki's lips, then Gita quickly stood up and was ready to drag his pole back to bed. However, Arki's hand held him. I don't know when he woke up. Did the kiss keep Arki awake?

“Sorry,” said Gita suddenly because it felt build up Arki break after his tiring day.

“Make what?”

“Because I accidentally woke you up?” gita is confused.

Arki sat down and told Gita to also sit back on the sofa. He summarizes Gita's face and touches her nape, directing their faces closer. Then kiss those sweet lips. A deep, soft, and pleasant kiss.

Gita didn't expect Arki to wake up just for this. But he tried to enjoy it. Not wanting to resist the shocking touch in the early hours like now. For a few moments they clenched each other and did not let go of each other.

“Don't half-do it if you want to kiss me,” said Arki with a wide grin after being satisfied to attack.

“You were sleeping. Still had time to get kissed,” protest Gita pretended to be upset.

“It may not wake up if the one who touched me was you,” Goda Arki.

“Yes now sleep there! Still one o'clock in the morning.”

“Help first,” said spoiled Arki while stretching out his hands. Gita replied with a warm hug.

Arki then lifts Gita's body in his lap. Carrying him back to the bed where he should have been.

“You're resting. Don't get off the bed earlier. You are not yet healthy,” said Arki then kissed Gita's forehead.

Gita just nodded and smiled. A feeling of happiness that he had never felt before entered and encompassed his heart. Something he had wanted so much all along. Feeling loved so much. Things Gita never imagined before could be present in her life full of pebbles that hurt her.
