There was no talk of divorce after the incident at Ela's house. Arki tries to avoid the Gita. I don't know what he got from hanging up a relationship that's not going well. From the beginning, their relationship did not start well.
Gita packs her things into a suitcase for later travel. A little vacation in Bali and escape from the growing feeling of unrestrained. At least Gita now has not tried to hope anything more to Arki, other than a fair farewell to them.
Her feelings she was dim in, stacked with camouflage hatred. And yet, there is love hiding beneath it. He wants to be released. But if you do, Gita feels like the most stupid person in the world. Trying to reach out to people who don't have any feelings for him. Especially those who have treated him with contempt.
Gita puts some emergency medicine into P3K, a small preparation in case she gets hurt. Given lately it feels like he's been in a lot of falls or accidents. His hand came to a halt when he saw the plastic bottle pot containing his contraception pill.
Gita smiled bitterly, she no longer tried to take the medicine regularly. He also stopped his efforts hoping to have children. Arki has never touched him, even forcing him not to do it. Like the last time when he vented anger by touching her on the dining table.
Time is up with Arki. Funny, he used to wish they had accidentally done so and sprouted seeds that could unite them. It turns out that Arki is not trying to plant it anymore. Forgot that he once mentioned it with the Gita.
At 6am Gita was getting ready for the airport. He had already taken his suitcase out of the room and was going to book a taxi online. But Arki shows up and carries Gita's suitcase.
“I take you to the airport,” he said while carrying Gita's suitcase. “Gede really suitcase. You are only three days in Bali,” said Arki astonished.
“Emm... There will be an event on the beach. So I have to bring a lot of change clothes, fearing that his clothes are wet when swimming.”
“Be careful fitting swimming in the beach!”
“I'm a swimmer, won't sink.”
They drove to the airport in silence. Silence without conversation. Busy with thoughts and conjectures that revolve in each other's heads. Suppressing each other's feelings so as not to appear looks like weakness and defeat.
Even before parting ways when Gita had to check in and wait for boarding, they still said nothing but pleasantries to be careful.
Though Gita wants to hug Arki, say goodbye. Though Arki wants to hug Gita, showing his unwillingness to let go. But free, conjectures about each other's feelings hold them back. It is thought that there is no love between the two, but rather hatred to hurt each other.
...****************...
Gita arrived at Bali Ngurah Rai Airport at around 11 p.m. Not only alone, Gita set out with several other friends who brought their partner and their child. Juan and Fadhil welcome the arrival. They were already in Bali to take care of all the needs of the class reunion.
Some of his other classmates will come in a few hours because they use different planes. Juan drove the group to Jimbaran Bay Resort to rest for a while before continuing to eat dinner together to familiarize themselves.
“This is your room, Git. Same side of me. It's a pity that Mia didn't come. Though he was most excited,” said Juan drove Gita to the front of his hotel room.
“Yes, she's still nauseous with morning sickness. Understand pregnant young,” reply Gita.
“But your husband really does not want to be invited? Pretty much any honeymoon here.”
Gita smiled and shook her head. “Arki this afternoon to Surabaya, there is an office business. So can't come with.”
After chatting for a moment with Juan, Gita finally dropped her body onto the bed. Take a break after a long air journey.
Gita sees her phone, there is no message from Arki asking for news. He never absent asked about it. Once before. Arki hasn't contacted him since he ignored Gita.
Why does he keep hoping? Supposedly after setting the heart to go and part, Gita did not have to care about something like this. But seeing Arki drive him to the airport this morning, Gita always starts to reason again. To hope that the possibility will not happen.
During his two days in Bali, Gita enjoyed his vacation time with classmates when he was in High School. They visited some famous tourist attractions such as Tanah Lot Temple, Taman Garuda Wisnu Kencana, and Rock Bar. Not to mention they always have dinner at Jimbaran beach and see the beautiful panorama accompanying the meal time. It is truly one of those holiday experiences that Gita cannot forget.
All his activities during these two days can at least forget for a moment the problem and his feelings for Arki. Although when she is alone at the hotel at night, Gita does not stop looking at her phone. Hope Arki contacts.
The sound of knocking on the door rang out from outside, Gita immediately got up from the bed to see who was visiting. Juan was standing there. Put on a bright face and cheerful smile. Gita should thank Juan for some fun days in Bali. The show was a success to entertain all, including Gita.
“Ke yuk beach! It's the last night in Bali. Unfortunately if you do not walk on the beach at night, where the moon is good again,” invite Juan.
Gita hesitated for a moment. After tidying his things into the suitcase, he just lay down thoughtfully at Arki. Maybe it's better for him to go out for a walk with Juan. Gita finally welcomed Juan's invitation to take a walk on the beach, which is not far from the resort.
The beach is quite quiet, some people walk and sit around while chatting on the sand. Others gathered at a tavern that sold food and soft drinks nearby.
After quite a walk down the shoreline and a light chat, they finally sat down. Staring at the rolling waves, the moonlight shone on the water ripples, silvery among the eerie black soot from the sea water at night.
“Git, you know lately I feel you look more moody and more thin. Every time I see you visit Mia's food stall, it feels like you're getting different. It looks sad. You have a problem with your husband?” juan asked suddenly.
“Ngak. I'm okay with Arki,” said Gita trying to cover up the problem.
Gita did not expect all the burden of his mind was evident in his appearance. No one can help him for this matter either.
Juan took a breath. “I until now still surprised, how can you get married to Arkian anyway? I didn't expect it.”
Gita looked confusedly at Juan. “I'm with Arki a friend once. Why are you wondering? Because he is rich and I am poor so wonder so? You think you know about Arki?”
Juan smiled at a glance, then handed over one of the bottled drinks he bought earlier in the tavern not far from there. He sipped another bottle. Gita follows him, drinking a bottled drink given by Juan.
“I know Arkian, from someone,” said Juan sighing heavily. “He's not a good guy, Git. His family is a conglomerate, can do anything with other people he thinks is disturbing. Put people in jail, ruin careers, persecute, manipulate, even kill people.” Juan looked at Gita with a dark look.
“I know the Arki family is rich and may be able to do that. But I'm not sure someone like Arki can kill people,” bela Gita.
In his heart he doubted himself. Arki once beat his father's bodyguard to unconsciousness and battered. But what is the reason he did that? Putting someone in jail was very reasonable, he also threatened him with it. Shackling Gita until now.
“You love him so much that he doesn't know what he's like, or maybe he's hiding his true nature from you. Bad guys hiding.”
“You must not accuse anyone without evidence. Especially accusing Arki,” said Gita furious. I don't know why Juan suddenly said this to her. It's like he knows who Arki really is.
Gita doesn't know. Never knew how Arki. But he was sure that all the cruel things he did would not take a life. He's not as violent as his father. Once Gita meets Arya, she knows she will be able to hold Gita's life and destroy her.
“You're not sure about him, are you? You yourself are suffering from life with her, aren't you, Git? That's why you look unhappy and depressed. He must have done evil to you.”
“Udah I said don't talk carelessly about Arki! You don't know shit! How do you suddenly think you are, Juan?”
“I give you a chance now to get away from people like Arki. But if you refuse and still want to be with him, it means you are defending his cruel deeds to others. Cover up that he's a killer and a bad guy.”
“I don't know what you mean. I'm going back to hotel.”
Gita got up and stood up. But suddenly fell. Suddenly, his sight was clouded and dizzy. He felt his body relax as the sound of the waves suddenly drifting away. Consciousness left him for a moment.
“Arkian has ruined my brother's life and killed him,” Juan said like a whisper in Gita's ear. Then his sight was immediately pitch-black.
