My wife's a fraud
Receiving Assistance

The news of Gita's departure and Arki's honesty makes the burden of Ela's mind even heavier. His health was disrupted until he was admitted to the hospital. Moreover, there is no good news from the search conducted by Arki during these two weeks. His son-in-law was lost to the earth.

Arki was well aware of the risks he was taking when telling Ela the truth. All of these stories can worsen the disease. The last time Arki reported anything bad was when he said Luna was having an affair and was about to end their engagement. Ela was so sad and in shock that she had a mild stroke.

But Arki could not cover up any more lies in front of his mother, his heart also needed to be saved and needed someone to listen.

At least Arki regretted being honest. Now seeing his mother look weak makes his sadness even more piled up. All his mistakes are a problem for others. He has hurt Gita and her mother as well by being a loser man who does not know adab.

Arki peeling mango fruit for his mother. After two days of treatment, her blood pressure began to decrease, and she was able to eat more than before. Hence Arki prepared many fruits so that Ela could eat them for a snack.

The bathroom door was knocked several times before opening. A man appeared from behind the door. Arki and Ela immediately looked at the person who came. From the expression of Arki immediately looks unhappy look on his face, which he immediately returned to the mangoes he was peeling. Ela smiled and welcomed her arrival.

“I heard Miss Ela is sick. Mr. Arya sent this and prayed that Ms. Ela would recover quickly,” Basuki said sending flowers as well as a basket of fruit.

“Thank you to Arya,” said Ela received the gift.

Ela has long been divorced from Arya, and their divorce is also long and painful due to child custody struggles. But over the years, Ela has not cut off communication with her ex-husband, especially with regard to Arki's news.

Ela also knows that Arya wants to make Arki her successor, she does not interfere in the affair, because the decision is in the hands of Arkis completely. Arki has the right to reject it, especially now that the official wife and child recorded by the law is Salma and Adrian.

“Ngapain attention support?! No need!” arki ketus's. He is always unhappy if his mother still keeps in touch with Arya.

“Arki,” said his mother warned to be polite in front of Basuki.

“I am sorry that Mbak Gita is missing and has not been found until now,” Basuki said sympathizing.

“Ngapain mourns? The gita is not dead. But missing,” sambar Arki upset.

“Pak Arya offers his help to join the search for Mbak Gita, if Mas Arkian pleases.” Basuki continued without a care for the scathing comment from Arki.

“Arya want to help you with Gita?” ela said sounding relieved. He thought that Arya had a lot of resources and more powerful people, as well as connections everywhere that could quickly find her daughter-in-law.

“Yes, Mr. Arya is ready to help if needed. He can contact his colleagues in the police or private detectives to search.”

“Isn't he glad that Gita left the house and left me? And then he can nyodorin the girls he wants to make in place of Gita. I'll never want to be with the girl he's been dating. In fact I thought, Gita actually you guys kidnapped and hid, right?”

“Mas Arkian is too quick to accuse. Although Mr. Arya once told me to make Mas Arkian consider other options besides Mbak Gita. But it seems that Pak Arya quite liked Mbak Gita after meeting him first. They plan to have dinner together if only Mas Arkian did not come and bring Mbak Gita. Besides, I think Mas Arkian does not have enough evidence to accuse Mr. Arya,” Basuki said calmly. Of course, he clearly felt victorious because of all the evidence of Gita's disappearance he neatly hid.

“I would be very grateful if Arya would help with Gita search. Although the problem with Arki will not be resolved properly, the important thing is that we meet first and talk. Just discussed how the relationship will continue,” said Ela accepted Arya's offer without suspicion.

“Indeed wiser like that. Later I will tell Mr. Arya about this. We will also notify the development of his search for Bu Ela and Mas Arkian as soon as possible,” Basuki said happy because Ela accepted his boss' offer.

Arki has no choice but to follow his mother's wishes. Maybe not a bad thing also involves Arya in search of Gita. Although his heart and gut feeling said there was something wrong with all of this.

But in the difficult position as it is now, Arki does not want to argue a lot Arya with evidence that is not strong. Arki just needs a mistake. One mistake from all of Arya's plans to reveal her involvement in the Gita's disappearance.

...****************...

Ela was in the hospital for a week, until her condition was completely restored. Every day Basuki sends him messages about Gita's search. He hopes his son-in-law will be found soon. But until now Arki still looks reluctant to accept the help.

After her mother was discharged from the hospital, Arki spent more time at her mother's house. The thought of having to live in a house filled with memories of the Gita, makes Arki even more hurt.

He was afraid to be alone there, drowning in bad thoughts and panicking every waking moment from sleep in the middle of the night. Arki misses Gita more and more every time he sees the corner of his house.

At least when he was at his mother's house, his mind was a little shaken and he was also more well-groomed. Her aunt naggingly told her to eat, her cousin always invited her to talk, and her mother was always by her side to strengthen.

“If Gita doesn't meet. You marry me again, Ki. He did leave because it is not dear to you again,” comments Irma while they were sitting on the porch of the house, watching Indah and Anaya play.

“I can't. I will not marry again until Gita meets and we solve the problem,” Arki replied. The Gita disappeared for three weeks. Arki couldn't have given up that quickly.

“Ck... hence Aunt always said the same to you, check Gita to the obstetrician let her get pregnant quickly. If she was pregnant, she would think a thousand times to leave you like this. Whatever the case, he must have thought of his son. Will not be able to live alone without a husband.”

Arki is thinking about that now. If Gita was pregnant, her feelings might change. Little love, little time for Gita to stay by his side. Arki will convince Gita to stay, just as he pretended to be in Gita's false pregnancy.

They are two people trying to live together. This time they no longer pretend.

It was all his fault, telling Gita to take the contraceptive pill, even checking it every day. Maybe Gita still consume it until when they have separated the bed.

Had Arki realised his feelings earlier, he would have struggled a little more to gain Gita's heart, getting the chance to have offspring. But Arki was so incited with Arya's words by giving birth to a daughter who was worth her.

Arki smiles at Anaya's cute behavior chasing the ball, laughing and playing with Beautiful. He also wanted to see the same view. Gita and her son, playing and laughing happily. His hope feels very far away now. It was almost like the impossible happened.
