Gita eats her own lunch in the office cafeteria, feeling uninspired because Arki has been ignoring her for weeks. Even on holiday, he went outside. Reason gets an invitation from his boss to play golf. Gita should be happy that Arki is not home and let go of his shackles. He felt so empty and unwanted.
“I want to talk to you,” said Luna sitting in the chair in front of Gita.
“Why?” Gita looked at Luna and straightened her body.
“I know it's none of my business anymore and doesn't mean anything bad to you. But I want you to take a look at this,” said Luna handing over her phone.
A picture of Arki eating with a woman is not known by the Gita. Another photo shows them walking around and looking through a collection of bags. Gita is stunned to see all the photos shown by Luna.
“I saw Arki street with this chick last Sunday when I went to Grand Indonesia. All this time the Arki I know is not a guy who will cheat while still having a relationship with someone. He may be a playboy and close to a lot of women, but if cheating. I'm not sure he'll do it. But maybe I was wrong, maybe Arki has changed now. You want to get away from Arki, right, Git? This is your chance.”
The Gita stays silent until Luna leaves. His heart seemed to be smashed to the point of being crushed unceremoniously. Arki secretly has a relationship with another woman. Now Gita understands why Arki suddenly changed and ignores him. Finally Gita understands why Arki is often not at home and also never touch it again. There was someone else in it.
Shouldn't the Gita be surprised by something like this? Arki from the beginning was not a good man as he thought. He is a perverted and brash man who dates paid women in karaoke. Although Arki reasoned that it was all a scenario from Rio, but Arki still enjoyed it, right?
Gita got up from the chair then walked towards the toilet. Shut yourself in one of the rooms with tears flooding the cheeks. Why is he hurt like this? Gita shouldn't be this hurt!
The Gita tried repeatedly to strengthen the heart. But his chest remained tight, his feelings shattered. Until the sound of sobbing escaped his lips. Fortunately, the toilet was quiet and rarely visited. Gita can vent emotions that gnaw her heart until she no longer knows how it looks.
Almost half an hour Gita was there. His afternoon break is almost over. Soon she tidied herself up, washed her face and put herself back on makeup. No one should know he just broke his heart. He saw the phone that had been in the pocket of his work pants. Some messages sent by unknown numbers are visible on the screen.
[+62821314xxxx : Good Day, Ma'am Gita. I am Basuki, secretary to Mr. Arya Wibisana. I'd like to inform you that Mr. Arya invited you today to His residence. Please reply to this message if you wish.]
Gita was still staring at the screen of her phone in disbelief. Arya Wibisana invited him? It was not impossible for the man to invite the Gita. By status, Gita is his son-in-law. But he never knew anything about Arki's father figure.
What he had heard came from Nathan and Luna. Ela divorces Arya and struggles until her family falls for child custody. Arki hates her father and never gets along with him. One of the causes of Arki's estrangement with Luna, because Luna is too close to Arya.
The Gita doesn't know what to do with her broken relationship with Arki. Now Gita knows and believes that Arki is only using his body. But stupidly Gita even has feelings for the disgusting man.
Gita should be able to get away from Arki. But all the evil and the cards that could get him into prison are in Arki's hands. Gita cannot file for divorce before Arki breaks up.
Maybe if by meeting Arya, all the shackles of Arki can be separated from him. Gita must not let her feelings grow on the wrong person, on Arki who does not love her at all. The Gita will only hurt itself because of it.
[Gita: I am willing to meet Mr. Arya after work today.]
Arya's work room looked very luxurious. Various displays of artwork are arranged to beautify the decor. Gita was also shocked to see this house since arriving earlier. Beautiful, magnificent, luxurious, expensive. It is suitable to bear the mesan superpower conglomerate house.
“So your name is Gita?” said Arya entered the room gallantly. He sat down at his desk, staring fixedly at Gita.
Gita just nodded slowly, shrinking her seat in fear. Seeing the figure of Arya who looks dashing and authoritative, making Gita almost like an object that was wrongly placed there.
Arya sighed and leaned her back against the chair. Still staring at his daughter-in-law nonstop. Her soot-black eyes reminded Gita of Arki's gaze. Even the whole Aryan self is very similar to Arki.
“I've seen all the information about you. Coming from a family is unclear, with debts piling up. Your mother and step-sister are in jail for fraud. I do not understand why Arkian chose you to be his wife,” attacked Arya without further ado, showing his dislike of Gita.
The Gita was shocked to hear Aryan's words. “Meanway? My mother and sister are in jail? How could? They live in another house of Arki and receive help from him now,” said Gita in disbelief. The thing he knew was that Arki gave them a place to live and gave them money.
Arya chuckles. “One family of parasites all. So you think Arkian is happy to fund your mother and step-sister? Wrongfully. He put them in jail for fraud. Why did you not know? Heh?”
Gita never thought Arki would lie to her. Although Gita does not want to be in touch with her mother and step-sister, it is too much if Arki puts her in jail. The Gita isn't that bad at wanting to get rid of them. They are his remaining family. Especially her sister Risa.
“You are just soiling and embarrassing the surname of Wibisana. People like you don't deserve to be a member of kelu—“
“I also don't want to be part of the Wibisana family!” cut Gita, feeling angry and sad humiliated. He also feels stupid to have been tricked and played by Arki. Not knowing what he was doing with his family.
Arya blinked in surprise. Not expecting Gita apparently did not want marriage with her son. Is Arki in love with this woman? It could be bad if it is allowed to continue. He must immediately separate it.
“I can't file for divorce with Arki. Dia—“ Gita hesitates to continue her words, saying that Arki will imprison her if Gita dares to file for divorce. “Arki who first have to file for divorce or I will not be able to get my rights,” continued Gita lied.
Arya laughing. “ So, Arkian who won't let you go? I can help you part from him.”
“Pak Arya will help my divorce proceedings with Arki?”
“I will not help you get divorced. But you have to get away and disappear from Arkian's life. He would be very angry with me if he became your support in the divorce process. I want him to assume you're dead and move on with his life. It would be difficult to ask Arkian to divorce you if until now he had not done it himself, my lawyer was indeed competent. But Arkian also knows many of my people's weaknesses if it goes against him. You or I will not be able to win in the trial.”
“I mean I should pretend to be dead?”
Arya shrugged her shoulders. “Publishing a death certificate is easier than going up against Arkian. I also don't want our relationship to get worse for supporting your separation. We'll do this quietly.”
“If I had just disappeared from Arki, I would not have gotten divorce compensation from her. My status will also hang just like that and will not get any benefits.”
“Who said? I'll grant you whatever you want to get out of Arkian's life? The money? Hiding Place? Even let go of your mother and step-sister" Arya offered.
“I agree. Please arrange everything, release my family and compensate me. Soon I will go to Bali, pick me up there and do the scenario that Mr. Arya wants for my death. Keep me away from Arki,” said Gita without a second thought.
Gita is tired of the relationship she has with Arki. The man kept holding back and ignoring her. He already has another woman he can play with. Why have you been shackling him all this time?
“OK. Our deal will be done as soon as you get home from Bali. I didn't think it would be this easy for us to work together. You married Arkian because you wanted the money, right? I can give you more.”
“Yes. I married Arki just for the money. I don't care about anything other than that. He is free to marry another woman he finds attractive.”
“Do not worry! Arkian is now close to my co-worker's son. But I still don't understand why until now he hasn't divorced you, and hangs up his relationship with Amanda. I do this out of annoyance with its unequivocal nature.”
Arya offers Gita to dinner first before going home. Gita just followed him with a broken heart. All the lies he told in front of Arya about his feelings left him hurt.
But Gita doesn't want to be hurt any longer. Arki who already has another woman in his heart, but continues to use the Gita body for satisfaction. Disgusting and disgusting. Every day is like a false hope.
Not to mention her father-in-law who obviously deeply disapproved of her, making this kind of household life untenable anymore. Why did the Gita fight and hurt herself? Better off now from Arki, burying a great deal of feelings that come so that all does not escape uncontrollably.
Arki came to the dining room with a messy appearance. His eyes looked at Gita. The same look at meeting him at the IGD when Gita was in an accident. Worry and panic were on his face. Why is he like that? Pretending to be worried again, huh? Though he repeatedly lied to Gita with many secrets that he hid in his grasp.
Arki is unbelievable.
Arki shouldn't have pretended to be paying attention to her anymore.
...****************...
“Bu Gita, yes? I am Arman, the driver who was told to pick me up. Here let me just keep the suitcase in the trunk,” greet Arman when Gita out of the hotel.
Gita got into the black sedan without much talking. His heart was so upset. He leaves Arki still asleep in the hotel room. It felt like last night they were very close. Gita has hope with him. He came to Bali because he was worried about Gita, right? Can he think that?
“This is from Mr. Basuki. Said please at see.” Arman hands Gita an iPad.
It is the only video stored on the device. A man and a woman were sitting on the bed. Suddenly the woman hugged and landed her kiss on the man who looked shocked. But eventually he enjoyed. The man's hands began to venture into the open chest of the woman who seemed resigned. The video ends without any follow-up.
But the Gita doesn't need to know what it's going to be. He doesn't want to know. Only crying was then released from his lips and tears were falling uncontrollably.
It was only a few hours ago that Arki did that to her. It turns out that out there, he plays a lot with women. As expected. It's disgusting! Gita should never have expected anything from that man. Gita should have closed the door of her heart with all her might so as not to melt with all her only pretend attention.
His heart that had been gambled and doubtful about his decision to leave Arki, because the man came and saved him earlier, has now disappeared again. Gita has set her heart, will bury all her past with Arki and accept Arya's offer to hide.
pretending to be dead. She married Arki to cheat on him anyway. What is so hard about going and staying away from it?
