Their quarrel this afternoon led Gita to a conclusion, Arki is not the right target and this marriage must be ended immediately.
Gita will immediately pay off his debt with the monthly money that Arki gave through debit card. When everything went well, she would pretend to miscarry and file for divorce afterwards.
Last night Gita thought and rearranged her plan. Especially considering how Arki's reaction will be. Things that have escaped Gita consider, which is now a boomerang and a barrier to the success of his plan.
The Gita never thought that Arki was so possessive, domineering, but at the same time considerate and responsible. Make it difficult to run every hoax and lie that has been prepared.
Accompany her check up, suggest a new gynecologist, tell her to stop talking to her male superiors? It's crazy and unexpected.
Yep. It was all Gita's fault. He thought that what he had all this time seen from the man was his true nature. Everyone has darkness in their heart. Something that made him look very human and evil at the same time.
Perhaps in Arki, possessiveness and dominance is one of them. This is clearly very contrary to the Gita person. Free and without pressure.
Throughout her life, Gita lived by the rules and powers of her stepmother. After leaving the house, Gita feels she has control over herself. But now that he's married to Arki who's just as constrained as his life once was, it's like falling into the same hole.
The Gita wants to live freely and comfortably. Feeling enough is the goal. He already has a job. Even if he had to leave all the comfort he now got from Arki, he could still survive. Different from 2 months ago, where he has absolutely no grip.
In essence, he admitted one thing. Getting married and cheating on Arki is a mistake. He had to lightning-fast grab his goal and end it all. It was obvious that cheating was not his skill.
Gita exits the room in search of a cold drink in the kitchen, after rethinking her plans against Arki. His foot accidentally nudged a gift box that was kept right in front of his bedroom door. It was fortunate that the box was not stepped on as Gita stepped on.
After looking and opening it carefully, the gift box is a box of chocolates. The writing of Godiva Truffles is beautifully printed on the box.
Gita was amazed to see one of the expensive chocolates her coworkers used to eat, now in front of her. This time, Gita touched it herself.
Is this for him?
Apparently, yes. A piece of paper fell off as Gita opened the box. Written neatly and while reading the short sentence listed there, a smile curled on Gita's face.
“So I was angry too much huh, to make you afraid? I'm sorry. I didn't mean to like that. I bought you chocolate so don't be sad. Later in the morning don't ignore me! Don't forget to make me lunch too.”
Gita bites her lower lip to stop smiling like a fool just for reading an apology from Arki and a box of expensive chocolates. But his heart is hard to control, honestly feeling happy. The first time, someone apologized after scolding her.
Arki seemed to realize that his behavior had been excessive. Now he's confused, was Arki really that bad guy this afternoon or is it as sweet as it is now? Gita felt increasingly unaware of not knowing the man well.
Nevertheless, Gita should not be daunted to carry out her new plan. He kept a box of chocolates in his room. Just because of that alone, it should not make him linger out of this fake marriage.
...****************...
Gita with a huff waiting for the bank queue. Today he asked his superiors for permission to go to the bank, repaying the credit that had been burdening him.
Of course Arki doesn't know. He's keeping all his debts to Arki. Now, he will make a tacit payment of the money Arki gave him. The problem will be over soon. Without much noise.
Gita's queue number has been called to face CS bank, graciously welcoming the woman and asking her needs. Gita immediately said the purpose, then issued the necessary documents for credit repayment.
“Please wait a moment. I check the status first,” said CS sound friendly. His hands were swiftly typing something on his computer. Before finally turning back to Gita.
“Credit status on behalf of Gita Betari Putri was paid off 1 month ago yes, Mom. We have also published a payment document that has been verified.” CS explained politely.
Gita was silent for a moment. “Lunas a month ago? Meanin? How can? My feeling never came to the bank to pay off,” said Gita confused.
The woman in front of him was confused by Gita's statement. “Uumm .. in our system there is no credit on behalf of Bu Gita anymore. Everything was gone a month ago. Repayment submission is done online and all the requirements documents are complete.”
There is nothing wrong with the system at the bank. Why is the debt suddenly paid off? Does anyone know about his debts other than himself, Mia, and his stepmother? But they don't hold any repayment filing requirements documents. It's unlikely that those people will pay off the Gita debt. Or maybe .. Arki?
Gita shakes. To dispel that presumption. But, the person most likely to do something like this is Arki.
How did he know about all his debts? Why didn't he say anything about this? Why isn't Arki mad at him? All those questions rolled up in Gita's mind, becoming a mist that made her dizzy.
On the one hand, he was happy that all of his burdens had suddenly mysteriously disappeared. On the other hand, the Gita is very worried about the fact and the possibility that the one paying off his debt is Arki. So all this time he knew about his dilapidated financial condition? Why didn't Arki ever talk about it in front of him?
Other thoughts ran around for a moment. If Arki finds out about his financial condition, his debts, and secretly solves his problems. Most likely she could also know about her pregnancy which was just pretend. Gita felt like she wanted to faint at that moment because of fear.
“Git, you from earlier bengong continued. You sick? Want me to drive you home?” said Tama who had since seen Gita looked lethargic after returning from the bank.
“Ngak. I'm all right. I went home alone,” replied Gita smilingly rejecting Tama's offer, which seemed almost every day to offer to go home together.
Apparently the worry is clearly drawn on his face, so that others can know that the Gita is not okay. He is very afraid that Arki has learned all the lies and plans. But why is he still silent now?
All the way home, Gita was just pensive. Confused, doubtful, and afraid. After arriving and meeting Arki later, he should know about everything. He must also know, how far does Arki know about his plans and what does he want to continue to quietly cover up his actions?
The online taxi he ordered arrived at the front of the house. Gita stared gloomyly at the residence that had only been one month she occupied it. Arki and all his behavior. Arki and all his secret actions. All made her heart uncomfortable and felt threatened.
“With Mbak Gita?” greet a man in a leather jacket approaching Gita who was opening the gate. Another tall man also approached her.
“Sorry, who is it?” gita was confused. His feelings are uncomfortable, reminding him of something he had experienced before.
“I from Credit Easy. Want to collect a debt of 15 million that was due a week ago. The number that Mbak Gita uses is not active or answers our party calls. So we came here to charge directly.”
“You know this address from where?”
“Mbak Gita wrote this address on the app.”
Ah, sure enough of the guess. They must be debt collectors like the one Gita had encountered before. This time must have collected the debt that his stepmother had filed without his knowledge. It seems his personal data is still used by his stepmother at will. He could borrow it using his name. The insolent!
But more surprisingly, her mother found out about her new residence. He also knew that Gita was married to a rich man. Lothawat!
What if they come here and blackmail Arki? In addition, do not let Arki know his stepmother likes to borrow money on illegal online loans like this. It may increase the problem.
“I will pay later. You go first. Not now!” said Gita panicked when she saw Arki's car that appeared suddenly at the end of the street of her residential block and was getting closer.
“Can't, Ma'am! I have to collect and receive the money now!” said the man insisted.
“I'll pay, Sir! But have to take money first at the ATM, I have no cash. I ask for the father's number, I will call.” As Gita panics, Arki's car stops near her house.
“Can't! We don't want to go without anything. Don't make promises like that. We can't believe it! If Mbak does not want to pay, I can use violence.”
“Please, Sir. Go first! Later I was caught sama—“
“Who is this, Git?” said Arki looked at the two men who were with Gita with displeased looks.
Die lo, Git!
