Gita heard the sound of Arki's car parked in the garage. Quickly he set the table for dinner. The clock on the wall is already showing at 21:20, but maybe Arki hasn't had time for dinner on the way. Hence the Gita still serves food.
In addition she wants to know how the house continues to stay for her stepmother, whether she says dangerous things to Arki, or how Arki responds to her stepmother's sudden presence.
For hours Gita was worried. His fate was like the tip of the horn when Ani was again present in his life. Though he had just got the courage to go away from her, it turned out that the woman was still undermining herself with the same problem. Money, money, and money. After he divorced from Arki, Ani would definitely continue to pursue him for money reasons.
Arki enters the house, his facial features look tired, maybe the effect of driving back and forth because it takes Ani and Risa to a new residence. He sat down at the dinner table without saying much. Spoon some of the dishes that Gita has provided.
“Why don't you eat?” ask Arki when he saw Gita just look at him on the table.
“I've eaten first, sorry.”
Arki chuckles. “Ya eat first if hungry. I have no problem.”
“So how did my mother go to her new home? They like?” ask Gita be careful.
“Like. They are very cool,” replied Arki calmly. Gita sees no sign that Arki is harboring anger. Maybe her stepmother really shut up her lie.
“Thanks for giving up a place to live for my mother and step-sister.”
“you don't have to worry anymore. They now have a place to live and their needs are all fulfilled.”
Gita was surprised to hear it. “I mean needs met? you give them money?”
“That kind.” Arki did not elaborate. He was busy with his food, perhaps too hungry after a long trip until he finished two servings of rice.
Either Gita should feel relieved and scared now. If Gita divorced Arki, then all the facilities that Arki gave to ibi and her half-sister would also disappear. You can imagine how angry they are at Gita. Perhaps they will also divulge his secret to Arki for his own benefit, resulting in Gita being imprisoned.
“So where did you end up? You were wearing a neat suit earlier. Didn't I tell you not to go anywhere? You didn't chat or tell me anything at all" Arki said after the meal.
“Emm... That ... I ran out of my injured leg check doctor, same meet Mia.” Gita doesn't lie to get out. She did check her legs at the doctor, after seeing Nathan because the pain was bothersome. It was only then that I met Mia at the cafe.
“Ck... Why do you want to travel never say first? I told you right, at least send a cake message,” said Arki annoyed.
“Sorry,” says Gita slowly.
In his heart he cursed the pretentious and possessive nature of Arki. Even though this time she helped him save himself from his stepmother, still Arki is a pain in the ass.
“Plester has not been replaced yet?” arki said approaching Gita. His wife just shook her head. “Where is the cure?” continued Arki.
“In the room, near the dressing table.”
Arki immediately stepped away carrying the medicine that Gita meant. Then come back a few moments. He opened the plaster covering the wound on Gita's leg, cleaned it and gave her antiseptic medication, then covered it back with plaster.
“Aaww..!” gita shouted as she felt pain when her wound was given medicine.
“The wound is not too big. It's gonna dry soon.”
Arki finished treating Gita's wounds. Suddenly holding Gita who was still sitting on the chair. Then walk to the room.
“Ngapain you! Down!” gita panicked and thrashed. She was really afraid that Arki would do dangerous things to her again.
“Don't walk a lot first, so tomorrow the wound can be better!” arki replied casually, then laid Gita's body on her mattress.
He can't believe in Arki's kindness after what he experienced yesterday. Especially when he took her to bed. He must have had a certain purpose. Especially now that his legs are injured and it is difficult to run.
“Tomorrow if you are better, we come to the wedding of her brother Rio,” said Arki who seemed not disturbed by the behavior of Gita who was wary of him.
“Kok suddenly the invitation?”
“Actually have been telling from a long time. But I said I couldn't come because I had to go to Malang, because my business trip was canceled so I had to come to the event.”
Gita just nodded slowly, agreeing. He actually doesn't really care much about such an event or coming up with Arki. But Gita is quite curious about her former co-worker's family, Rio. The rich playboy who is reportedly down because of naughty and difficult to control the family.
Gita had never been invited to Rio family events before, she had always deliberately missed to invite him. Maybe because Gita looks inappropriate to be present as an unattractive teammate. Gita's daydream breaks suddenly as her phone shakes on the nightstand, as soon as she picks it up.
“Gita, I'm sorry. After your mother came to the RS and ngancem-ngancem want to say that I am dating the same doctor who already has the same wife bokap,” said Nadia when the phone began to connect.
Gita has since bombarded her friend with numerous allegations about her secret leak to her stepmother. He also kept calling Nadia repeatedly asking for an explanation. It could be that sensitive information like this is leaking to the person the Gita hates the most.
“Lo know my stepmother did not come here and want to ride at home? He knows that my life is prosperous and wants to benefit me, Nad! Do you know how hard my life is because of him? You really can't keep a secret! Nyesel I'm looking at lo!” gita's fawning emotions.
Gita hung up the phone rudely, then laid herself on the bed. Look at the ceiling and look up.
In this world it is difficult to find people who can be trusted and can keep our secrets and weaknesses tight. A little threatened, they will betray. Lucky Gita still has Mia, although she has lately always been against her opinion, at least she remains loyal and keeps her secret.
The Gita herself is not a good person. I have a crazy idea to cheat a man for money. Until his lie now creeps scary destroy his life and bring trouble.
Gita wants to get out of here. End all his theatrics and fears. Life is safe and straight as ever.
Maybe Gita should just register her divorce suit without having to seek legal counsel and sue all kinds. The Gita only yearns for her life of peace and separation after this.
...****************...
Gita's been decorating since the afternoon. Wearing makeup and styling her hair like in youtube tutorial videos. In the past she never knew or cared about such things, skincare, makeup, or taking care of herself. His life was filled with thoughts of survival, paying off debts, and getting out of poverty.
He could have bought beauty and care products like his mother or step-sister who was very fond of fiddling, but surely they would have snatched and stolen it. Maybe even the Gita will be beaten because it is considered selfish, even concerned with beautifying themselves rather than feeding them. They are the ones who are selfish. Unfortunately his father also neglected him and never defended him.
Gita looked at her reflection in the mirror. Like everyone else, it is different from the Gita that he has always shown the last 25 years. Maybe this is the first and last time Gita sees that beautiful reflection.
After leaving Arki, her short Cinderella life will soon disappear. The woman he saw so fashionable and shining would be gone. It's okay, as long as it can get out of this pretentious and scary life.
Arki glanced at the clock that coiled in his hand many times. Still waiting for Gita to get ready. No matter how many times he had a girlfriend, he was not used to waiting for girls to dress up. Long and boring.
Almost Arki will bang on the door of Gita's room because of impatience, when his wife then appears. Wearing an oversized brocade top in red that shows her crazy cleavage and knee-length batik cloth featuring a beautiful silhouette of her waist and buttocks.
Arki was stunned for a moment looking at Gita's appearance. Didn't expect the woman to be so attractive and prettier than usual.
Perhaps the first time Arki saw Gita look this dazzling, with semi-bold makeup and hair styled in the style of messy braids bun. Even at weddings, Gita is not this beautiful. Why did the girl suddenly turn out to be even more seductive now?
“Change the clothes! I don't like to see your chest look too open like that,” said Arki unhappy.
