My wife's a fraud
Wishing

A week has passed since Gita disappeared. Arki has completely lost track of the Gita. His wife was like she had disappeared into the earth. Even all the important transactions on behalf of the Gita that Arki can track, now nowhere. His cell phone number could no longer be reached.

Maybe Gita really can't stand living with it. Has he suffered so much all this time? Could be. Arki took away his honor, forced him to serve, and shackled him. He ignored it for a few months as well.

Gita must have been very hurt by all her evil deeds. Until he no longer cares about their agreement, about reporting to the police related to his fraud.

Arki is getting worse. Her condition was worse compared to being heartbroken when she saw Luna cheating with her own eyes. He used to be doing normal activities. Working, meeting her mother, and even busy canceling her engagement. Although for a while he withdrew from the association with his friends to get calm.

Now Arki no longer treads the earth. His loss had weakened him so much. He had almost allowed himself to die with no regard for his own health. Lying on his bed with a misty mind full of regret. He occasionally filled his empty stomach with instant noodles or a few snacks without asking. Just to relieve the screams of stomach rumbling.

Hundreds of calls and messages came to his phone, only Patra and Agus were able to reply and receive. They daily report on the development of the Gita search. Damar searches for him, Amanda keeps contacting him, and his subordinates are also confused when Arki is not around. Arki sent his resignation letter this morning, he doesn't care at all about the job or anyone else other than the Gita's whereabouts.

The bell kept ringing, for almost 5 minutes kept sounding aloud. The guest did not give up either. Arki lazily shifted his limp body from the top of the mattress. But the sound of an ear-splitting bell disturbed his peace. Until he finally got up and opened the door. There was already standing Ela, with a face of anger and worry being one.

Arki also avoided all of her mother's messages and calls.

“Why didn't you and Gita pick up the phone and reply to mom's message?” nagelnya worry.

Arki hugged Ela, crying like a boy had lost his toy. Things she never did again in front of Ela when she grew up. Ela was so shocked to see her child so fragile like this. Trying to calm Arki by stroking his back accompanied by curiosity and obvious confusion.

“Why are you, Ki? Hm? Say the same mom!” said Ela softly.

“Gita go, Bu.” Arki said the most painful word.

“Means go?” ela was confused. Panic also instantly ambushed his heart. Afraid something might happen to her favorite daughter-in-law.

“Gita runs away from home, leave me.”

Arki took his arms off Ela. Now she could see the expression of her mother who was so shocked by the news she had just heard. They entered the house, sitting opposite each other on the living room sofa.

After being pushed and Arki rediscovered his consciousness, he told Ela. Everything was. Including how they started the marriage with lies. Arki can't hide it anymore from Ela. He did not know where to complain and told whom this heavy burden was on, other than his own mother.

Horror and anger appeared on Ela's face. Arki had already prepared herself with her mother's reaction. She accepts if she should be reviled and hated by Ela. Arki is wrong and he doesn't want to take shelter anymore.

“Do you do all those evil things with Gita, because you feel you have rights, because you feel hurt by Gita's lies and behavior? Forcing him to serve you, ignoring him because you think you can remarry a woman who is your equal? ARKIANS! Since when do you have this mind se b a j i n g a n? Since when have you been this brave to harass women?!” snarled Ela hard. Tears rolled on his cheeks. Injured himself by the actions of his son who was very evil to Gita.

“Mom fought until injured to get your custody, so you can educate me well, so you do not live and se b r e n g s e k your father! But all in vain, you are the son of Arya Wibisana, the evil man who demeans women! Mother failed to educate you!” ela said so sad. He smacked his hand on his chest, hoping that his pain and disappointment could fade away instantly.

Arki trembled at the words of his mother. He became more and more like his father. Without her guessing. Using money and power to ensnare women. Make them objects of satisfaction without thinking about their feelings.

Though he was so hurt to see his mother hurt by Arya, betrayed so cruel. He did the same thing to Gita. Giving Amanda hope and trying to play with other women without her knowledge.

“Mom always told you not to be rude and vindictive. I understand you are angry with Gita because of her lies, but that does not mean you can play with her feelings and life. Make him your doll just to be invited to love, then you easily think of replacing it with a more great and rich woman.” Ela sighed deeply, trying to calm her boisterous heart full of anger at her son.

“I know I'm wrong, I won't reason anything to defend myself. I want to apologize and start a new relationship with Gita. But he left without knowing how I felt,” said Arki finally made a sound.

“Your regrets are meaningless, Ki. Gita is gone. He has closed the door of his heart to you. I'm really disappointed in you.”

“I'm sorry, Bu.”

“Not the mother who should have heard your apology.”

“I'll try to find Gita and say this directly. I promise I'll find Gita. I love Gita,” said Arki so soft and sad.

He could no longer hide his feelings that continued to run in an uncertain direction due to fret. He wanted to find Gita and embrace her right now.

Ela was so angry and disappointed in Arki. But he also could not bear to see his son was so hurt. Even worse than when his marriage failed with Luna. Ela barely recognized her son who was so messy, thin, and unkempt.

Arki may have been unaware that slowly Gita has brought back happiness to her, Ela can see for herself. Arki may have kept his feelings far behind his feelings of hatred and resentment due to Gita's lies and rebellion. Ela sympathizes with Arki's feelings.

She also regretted comparing her to her ex-husband, Arki was not that bad. Arki can still control himself so as not to fall into a deeper affair. Now she also realizes that all she wants is a Gita and a peaceful household.

Ela got up from the sofa, then sat down next to Arki, hugging him. He just let his son lean on him. Feel the loss so that he can learn to be respectful towards women.

While continuing to hope, hopefully his daughter-in-law is safe and can re-assemble with them. Ela also owes an apology to Gita, for not educating Arki to be a good man, regretting why Arya's evil nature so markedly decreased to her.

Ela will not stop praying, so that Arki and Gita meet soon, straightening all her problems. Hopefully, the two children will be reunited soon, because Ela also sees the love growing in the heart of Gita for her child.
