My wife's a fraud
Arkite Trail

Gita finally started a business opening a small shop near the Risa campus, which serves contemporary food that is popular with students at affordable prices. After escaping the supervision of the Aryans, Gita did not waste the opportunity to move from the house that Arya gave.

In addition to security considerations for fear of being dragged into trouble with the Wibisana family back, the house is in a remote area that is quite quiet. It is very difficult to open a restaurant there.

Finally they chose to buy a shophouse that they turned into a tavern on the 1st floor and a residence on the 2nd floor. With Risa's easy-going skills and having many friends, many students in the campus who come to the tavern.

Many buyers also praised the food served there. During one month of selling, a lot of students who come to Gita overwhelmed and forced to recruit employees to help him.

But Gita is so happy, now her life feels better than ever. Moreover, her relationship with Risa got better after the departure of her stepmother a month ago. There were a lot of changes to the teenage girl. Now they support each other, help and strengthen.

“It looks like we have to add more people deh, Bu Gita,” said Heni— his employees—who is preparing a subtle spice to sell tomorrow.

“Iya. I can't help you now, a lot of work. If the more rame kayak gini, I will not be able to concentrate on college because thinking about us.” Risa approved Heni's proposal.

“Who said he wanted to help, huh? Now it's even blissful. You're a liar!” said Gita to the head of Risa.

“Idiih, did I not know that the duty of college children this much. Lagian Mbak Gita is also a cook but easily fallen gini. Little dizzy. Little lemes. How do you get ahead?!” risa defended herself.

Gita only glares at Risa while laying down on the sofa. He's been getting tired lately and dizzy. Maybe because it's the first time working as a cook and using his energy every day. Exposed to the heat of the stove and very busy taking orders.

Usually Gita only works behind office desks with air-conditioned rooms. Gita becomes amazed at Mia who works in the kitchen, even now opening her own food stall.

The thought of Mia made Gita very sad. Now he can't call his best friend anymore. He may have known about Gita's death.

“Bu, I have a niece, girl, who is working again as well. If Bu Gita wants to add people. Later I tell him to come,” said Heni proposed and influenced again.

Gita thought for a moment, weighing and calculating the costs she had to spend to recruit new people. But at this time with its current capacity, Gita will not be able to accept orders from customers who come to eat in its place.

“Tell me here, Mom. Tomorrow morning directly help.” Gita gave up at last.

“Ready, Bu.” Heni looks happy.

Gita got up and sat down on the sofa, intending to help peel and cut the vegetables as well. But he was suddenly limp, his stomach churning instantly. Gita quickly ran to the toilet and vomited her stomach. Cold sweat drenched his nape. The gita keeps vomiting until everything she eats at dinner comes out.

“Mbak Gita, why? Chicken poisoning was last night?” risa said worriedly, patting Gita's back gently.

“Don't know. Nausea, my head is also dizzy,” reply Gita after tired of vomiting.

He was just sitting on the floor with his head drooping on the toilet seat. He didn't eat chicken skin at dinner. Why does nausea suddenly appear like a food allergy?

“Bu Gita, want to see a doctor? Let me take the motorbike now.” Heni offered, worried to see his superior look so pale.

“No need. I have a nausea drug. Drink that later. Maybe my food allergies are coming back. Ma'am Heni just came home when it's done.”

Heni finally said goodbye after finishing his work. As long as Gita did nothing to help, she just lay in her room. Now she hands all the preparations to Heni, the person she now trusts handling the buyer's order.

Risa brought a glass of warm water to Gita who was lying curled up on the mattress. Gita quickly sat down and looked around for a nausea drug that she used to take when chicken skin allergies recurred. When going to put the drug into the mouth, Risa suddenly stopped Gita's hand.

“Mbak Gita is really allergic, right?” risa said suspiciously.

“Iya. I think it's because Abis ate chicken geprek earlier. You know I'm allergic to chicken skin.”

“But, the chicken skin was given to me.”

“Ya may nyisa times, keep kemakan.” Gita intends to take the medicine again, but is stopped again by Risa.

“Mbak Gita is no longer pregnant, right?” Risa's eyes were squeaking suspiciously.

Gita was shocked to hear Risa's words. I never thought she was pregnant at this time. It used to be that Gita wished she could get pregnant, to bring back Arki's attention. But it's been a long time since Arki's touched her since they split rooms.

Waitaminute!

The memory of his last night with Arki in Bali goes back. Gita dreams of having another marital relationship with Arki after a long time. Moreover, Gita has not consumed the contraception pill, because she never expected Arki will appear suddenly on the day where Gita will leave it.

When he woke up because he had to leave, Gita found himself not dressed with pain and uncomfortable feelings in the core. That day Gita also remembered trying to eliminate the traces left by Arki in his body.

“Mbak Gita inget not si Nurul temenku fitting we stay in Manggarai? He also often complained of dizziness and weakness for weeks. Keep vomiting at school. Just like Mbak Gita. Turns out she's pregnant. I think Mbak Gita often dizzy and lemes because of the cooking sauce, but if until vomiting kayak earlier. I suspect Mbak Gita is really pregnant like the Nurul,” Risa theorized.

Not likely. Gita can't get pregnant now. After trying to get away and leave Arki. There can't be any connection between him and Arki. Gita has tried her hardest to remove the feelings and shadows about Arki, everything must be destroyed just like that with the trace of Arki left in her womb.

“I'm not pregnant! It's just a chicken skin allergy!” reject Gita, she continues her act of taking allergy medicine.

Risa stopped him again for the third time. “Mbak Gita, if you take drugs carelessly before you know really pregnant or not. Later his son can be deformed like Mbak Lulu our neighbor first.” Risa takes the medicine from Gita's hands and that is still in the drawer.

“I'm really not pregnant. You've seen me fit abis eat chicken skin too, right?” gita said. Eliminating her feelings of anxiety and guesswork running around about her condition. I believe he was just allergic.

“Ngak. Different really. Allergic period mingles and dizziness every day.”

“Yes can be because I'm tired of cooking.” The Gita refused firmly. Although his feelings are now questioning the truth as well.

“Heloo... A lot of my friends used to be pretty fit still in school huh, bestie. I have memorized that this is definitely a sign, yes Mbak Gita hamidun as well. Later I buy testpack yes in the pharmacy next to.”

“Gak! No need!”

But Risa has already walked away. Without hearing Gita's rejection or explanation anymore. Gita is now alone. He put his body back on the bed. His dizziness and nausea had not disappeared as well.

Wild thoughts spinning in the head. What if she's pregnant with Arki's child? When he decided to leave. Get far. Even declared that he was dead.

Arki may also have been happy there with her father's choice of woman. The Gita is unlikely to come back, holding her accountable. His life could be lost face to face with Arya.

Gita wants to start a new life. Find love and remarry, with the person who truly loves him. She can't have a child from Arki right now. She would not have raised her own without her father.

Why should she experience this when her life has started to improve and be happy?

Why does everything about Arki reappear in his life?

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

After a night of inner upheaval and rejection. Gita assures herself that she is not pregnant. The feeling of nausea and dizziness that he felt had also disappeared quickly.

Risa keeps telling her to check, by buying some kind of testpack like the one Gita used to see Nia and Mia use. Gita refuses. He felt his body was fine and refreshed.

They are preparing to open a shop. The man Heni promised to come this morning as well. A girl of Risa's age who just graduated SMK. He experienced to be a cashier and waitress when the internship program at his school first. Very confident to be able to help and work well in that part.

While Heni is busy helping Gita in the kitchen. Gita explained about the amount of spices used and how to cook some menus that are always in demand ordered. So that Gita can give up her duties partially to Heni.

While practicing tomyam making, Gita again felt nauseous, smelling the aroma of her own cooking. Gita tried to hold it in and still continued cooking while explaining to Heni. However, he was increasingly unable to continue it anymore.

Gita stopped in the middle of the road, did not continue her cooking, and immediately ran to the toilet. Vomiting like last night. Nausea and dizziness come back. Makes him forced to drain his stomach until empty without rest.

“Bu Gita was still kayaking last night? Want to rest first not today, do not need to open a store first?” said Heni who saw Gita coming out of the toilet with a deathly pale face.

“I'm so dizzy I want to rest for a while. But baby if it closes all day. Ma'am Heni can replace me for a while not until I'm better? Most of all I've done well again,” said Gita. Obviously do not want to close the shop for fear of loss.

“Bby. I am also an expert. Look at Bu Gita cooking. Calm down, if there's anything I don't know. Call Ms. Gita. Now Bu Gita rest just above.”

“Still yes, Mom. Later Risa at 10 to go home for a while because there is no class. He can help Ms. Heni.”

Gita finally chose to rest for a while, relieving her nauseous feeling from smelling the strong aroma of cooking. He just lay on the sofa while continuing to resist the urge to vomit.

Her mind returned to the alleged pregnancy after seeing a plastic bag on the table containing a testpack purchased by Risa last night. Should Gita check it out? What if the answer turns out to be true, if she is now pregnant?

After repeatedly thinking for more than half an hour, Gita got up and picked up the plastic bag on the table and walked towards the toilet. He did the thing instructed on the testpack packaging. Waiting for a while with a broken heart.

The indicator in the testing tool began to change, displaying one red line clearly. Not long after that another line appeared faintly, a long time later as clear as the other line. The Gita does not believe. Staring at the two clearly drawn red lines.

Just hurry up and check it back with another brand testpack. Two pieces at once. There may be a mistake in the first result. After waiting, the two test kits displayed the same results. Two pregnancy lines.

Gita immediately cried. Roboh can't believe it. Why is it still up to now he has to find traces of Arki everywhere. It is built, it is revered, and in its life.
