My wife's a fraud
Truth

Arki lies down on the bed after a long day of work. Feeling empty in her heart becomes more real when she is alone at home. When in the office, he was a lot distracted by work. Also by the annoying and wanton behavior of Aditya who often makes blood rise. Or all day arguing with Adrian, the stiff and calculating. There must be something that makes them disagree.

Now times like this, when the night is approaching. All he felt was loneliness and sadness. Arki wants Gita back, can hug her again. But the woman had even been fused with the ground. Buried away with the wounds and regrets that Arki brought.

Arki got up and walked into the kitchen. Take out the cold milk in the refrigerator and sip it. There was no warm food on the table. Only bread and jam of various flavors lined up. The kitchen is back to how it was when Arki was single. Arki longs for the warm and scrumptious food made by the Gita. Staring at his wife sitting across the table, he seemed pleased as he praised his cooking.

Arki really lost it all. I don't know what other regrets he could feel right now. It felt like all the pain in his heart he had felt all.

The sound of a cell phone wakes Arki from the daydream. Unknown numbers appear on the screen. Arki hesitates to pick her up, but she finally presses the button on her phone and talks to the other person.

“Halo, Mr. Arkian. This is Danu, I use a disposable number so that it is not easy to track,” hoarseness is heard behind the call.

Arki remembers who Danu is, a thin man with curly hair that Aditya introduced. For almost two months Danu never gave any more news to Arki regarding the investigation into Gita's death.

When he gets a phone call from her, Arki's feelings get pretty messed up. Not ready for what he heard. Repeating the memory of Gita's tragic passing hurts her deeply. But Arki needs to know what happened and who was behind the Gita crash.

“Yes? What about the investigation?” tanya Arki tried to calm down.

“I've sent some evidence to Mr. Arkian's email. Please open first, then I will explain.”

Arki immediately walked into his study. Turn on the laptop and open the email a few minutes later. So many documents, proof of transaction, and photos that Danu sent. Even up to hundreds stored in folders that have been compressed in the form of zip.

“Explain what this is?!”

“That's the evidence Mr. Arkian asked for. I've been keeping an eye on Basuki as ordered for these two months. There's nothing strange about him. Until I discovered that in the last 3 months there was a bodyguard Basuki and Arya who stopped working. Called Revelation. He got 500 million money transfers from Basuki's personal account. The amount was too large for the severance guards who worked even less than 4 months. Bia recruited 2 weeks before Bu Gita lost in Bali.”

“Continue to do with Gita what? She kidnapped him?”

“I traced the identity record of Revelation. A few days after being recruited, he became a guarantor for the release of fraud cases committed by Ani Sumiati and Risa Tiara Dewi, mother and half-sister of Bu Gita—”

“Freedom? Meaning Gita's mother and half-sister are now free from prison?”

“Betul. The one who set him free is Revelation, which has nothing to do with them. I had a hard time getting this information. Looks like the authorities have been bribed to cover it up. Just like the search for Bu Gita by Sanjaya and the report about the autopsy they did.”

Arki was stunned for a moment. “Explain!”

“After being free, Ani and Risa are taken by Revelation and a few others leave. But it seems like Ani ran away from them. A neighbor once saw Ani go home to Depok and go back while borrowing money to go to Pluit to his brother's house. Risa was taken to Bogor. That day coincided with the disappearance of traces of Bu Gita returning to Jakarta.”

“In that case, the person who got hit in the Pluit area as Sanjaya discovered was likely Gita's stepmother?” tanya Arki concluded.

“True. The accident seemed to have happened unintentionally. But there are witnesses who said that Ani was being chased by someone to panic and was hit by a truck. I have also traced Risa in Bogor. He found out that he was enrolled in a private university. Ani's name is still her guardian. All the identities of Bu Ani are also still actively used in Bogor, identified as buying a shophouse and applying for a restaurant business license to the local authorities and organizations.”

Arki was stunned to hear all Danu's explanations. His hands were trembling due to the conjecture running around on his head. If Ani runs away to Pluit and Gita's accident happens there, it means that the accident is not Gita, but Ani.

It seemed like Ani did not know at all that Risa was taken to Bogor, so she did not try to search and tried to escape alone. If all of Ani's identity is still in use, Gita will use it.

Most likely Gita is still alive and Ani is the one who died in the accident.

“Gita is alive, right?” arki said with a trembling voice.

“If the woman who was with Risa in the store was really Bu Gita, then Mr. Arkian's guess is right. Miss Gita is alive. I also feel unsure that Ani is the person who is in the store, she is too young to be the mother of Risa.”

Arki then scrolls the mouse and opens the photos sent by Danu. Some of the photos are of Basuki, Arya, and her bodyguards. It was only after he had scrolled further down. There are some photos taken from afar, from a customer's seat there. A food store that many shoppers visit. The figure that Arki saw even just in a photo he must have known. Gita, stand down and take note of an order from a student.

Arki's tears shed for a moment. Feelings of relief, longing, sadness, fear and happiness mixed into one of his heart. He was even at a loss for words and unconsciously sobbed right then and there. Danu was still on the phone when Arki cried because he saw the figure of Gita in the photo. He was alive and well as he expected.

“I have confirmed whether Bu Gita is being watched or not, it seems like he is safe from Basuki's supervision. They moved out of the house given by Arya and only stayed a few weeks there. But the bad news. Mr. Arkian his movements are being monitored.”

“I know about it,” said Arki who finally mastered himself.

“I can confirm that the allegations about Arya's involvement with Bu Gita's disappearance are true. He also seemed to have arranged all of this engineering neatly. But I have not found any solid evidence of Bu Gita's coercion or abduction as well as the money that flows to Sanjaya and the police. So the evidence for prosecuting Arya is still very weak.”

“I won't report it to the police, Arya can easily get away from the law. He's got a great lawyer behind him. This alone is enough. Thanks for the information.”

Arki closed the call with a sour feeling. But among all the relief and his longing for Gita gets more turbulent. He was eager to meet the Gita, hold her, hug her, and kiss her.

More than that there is a big question now lodged in his head. Why would Gita want to work with Arya to do a terrible scenario to fool her? Why did Gita get so angry with him that she pretended to die and deceived him? Is Gita really that hateful towards him and wants to run away from him? Or was it Arya who forced Gita to do it?

Doubt is also no less fertile growing in the heart of Arki. If Gita gets to the art, she runs away from him, sacrificing her stepmother in Arya's hands. Could it be that the Gita doesn't want Arki anymore?Arki was so hurt thinking about it. But he had to make sure of that to Gita himself.

If Gita's heart does not have the slightest feeling for her, she will allow Gita to divorce from him. He just needs to know that Gita's alive. He just wants to see the Gita alive and circulate around him. It doesn't matter if they can't be together. That's what Arki tried to convince her in her heart.

Arki rushed into his room again. Replace sweaty work clothes with t-shirts that are comfortable for travel. He also searched for the car keys that had been thrown arbitrary when he came home. As he walked outside, his phone rang again. Aditya called. Arki received the call and opened the door of the house

.

“Definitely want to go to your wife's place, right? Because already told Danu,” said Aditya on the doorstep of the house Arki.

“Udah I said that the same affairs of women, Arkian will be the most human b e g o universe,” added Adrian who stands behind Aditya.

“Ngapain you guys here?” tanya Arki was not happy to see her two half-sisters into the house.

“Stopping beloved brother so as not to ruin our plans by going to see his wife. You know what else is being watched, right? The house in front used to be empty, recently there were occupying. Possibly Basuki's subordinate. He also likes to take drugs where you go,” said Aditya sounding annoyed.

“I already know. Move!”

Adrian blocks Arki's steps. Push it back in. His two brothers entered the house and closed the door.

“If you meet your wife now. Imagine what kind of danger she would be in if Arya found out. Not thinking of it?” adrian was upset.

“No thinking, Dri. Si t o l o l this is severe bucin. Hadeeeh.” Aditya drops himself on the living room couch. “Sini, Bang! We chat for a minute!” he continued waving flirtatiously at Arki and Adrian.
