One Husband Two Wives
I'll be fine
Areta had not fully recovered, she still had to rest for at least a few more days, but her intention to get out of the house was already unanimous.
All members of the Julian family already knew the intention of Areta's departure, they were very regretful, even persuading Areta not to leave but the woman remained adamant, the family finally gave up. Though it is hard to let go of the poor, kind-hearted woman to leave, they realize Areta still has dreams - dreams she wants to pursue, normal lives she wants to live, and, not just as a dark wife who is always bullied by Mauren.
Julian is well intentioned to give him a small amount of money as a provision that he can use to go to college again and connect life, he also asked Areta to appoint the house that Areta wants to live in, he asked Areta to be occupied, but the woman refused all under the pretext that there was no longer a grandson Julian in her womb so there was no obligation that Julian and his family had to fulfill, he said, in fact, Areta felt a little guilty to the family for lying to them by hiding the baby who was actually still in the womb, he did not want to be considered to take advantage of the situation and owed anything more to the family, his life now depends only on his own hands and his baby as a life booster.
Areta had prepared for her departure this afternoon, her clothes were neatly arranged in the parachute bag she had brought to the house for the first time, his gaze circled around the room he had occupied during his stay at Julian's residence, a room he would never see again.
In the living room, the Rivandra family had gathered in silence, it turned out that releasing Areta was not as easy as they thought, Rossy had even sobbed from earlier no matter how he loved Areta like his own sister, somehow the feeling of Oma who was even reluctant to come out of her room was so knowing what was happening.
So even Areta feels, one of the things that are difficult for Areta to do is part with Oma, who is not, the angelic hearted woman who welcomed him so well the first time he came as a stranger to the house
Areta knocks slowly on Oma's room, waits for a while until sister Rina opens the door and lets her in, Areta steps her feet slowly toward Oma who is sitting on her bed, oma's face implied sadness with puffy, wet eyes
...“Oma” said Areta while sitting next to Oma, Oma grabbed Areta's hand holding her tightly...
...“Good boy, pretty boy, strong boy” said Oma with tears that began to seep again even though her lips curved a smile...
...“Areta pamit Oma, thank you for all the kindness Oma had during this same Areta, Oma must be healthy, healthy, please do’a hopefully Areta can succeed and can repay Oma's kindness when we meet again later” ...
...Tears flowed back on Oma's cheeks, “Should it be done this way, Areta? Can't you just give Oma's stupid grandson a chance to finish it all first? Even you should still be bedrest, you have not fully recovered Areta”...
Areta shook her head slowly making Oma close her eyes to hold back the tightness in her chest, Oma wiped her tears, then her hand stretched out to reach a box that was on the nightstand next to her
...“You can't stop Oma from leaving, but you can't refuse this Oma” gift Oma said and opened the box and pulled out some jewelry from there, “accept lah” he said seemed to cram it into the hands of Areta...
...“Don't Oma, Areta has too much debt with Oma, Areta has nothing to repay her”...
...“Accept Son, don't refuse. You can use this as a provision for your life later, Oma knows you refuse all Julian and Anna gifts except your flight ticket, but make sure you accept your Grandma's gift of this”...
Areta hugs Oma, the kind woman who has always defended and protected her, maybe she can be a little presumptuous and consider Oma as her own Grandmother, at least he will feel he has a family in his world that is just a stick of kara. Areta unraveled her embrace, then got up slowly and moved out of Oma's room with a heavy heart.
Areta walked over to her family of in-laws who had gathered, only Mauren and Rivandra were not there, since the incident at the hospital, Mauren chose to go home to her parents because they did not want to be blamed for what happened to Areta. While Rivandra, the man prefers to be in his office with a feeling of being crushed, he can not let go Areta, he, but she doesn't know how to prevent it much less Areta has begged her to be released for a better life
Rivandra understands how Areta's life of suffering began when Areta was a servant in her own house of Om and Tante and continued even into adulthood, and how should he go back to face Om and his Tantenya and Mauren because of his dark marriage, then how could he force his desire to keep Areta?
Rivandra is still the husband of Mauren, it is not an easy matter to divorce him in the near future because however Mauren has a family that will not accept Rivandra's decision just like that, moreover, there is no stronger reason to divorce her, the accusation will certainly be leveled to her that she divorced Mauren because of his lack of children and the past of Mauren who had been raped
Rivandra let out a frustrated sigh, her chest tight, the time kept rolling that meant Areta's flight was only a little while away, Areta wanted her to meet last time, but how could Rivandra be strong to let go of some of her soul to leave? Rivandra's anxiety was also felt by Areta, she looked several times towards the entrance hoping for the figure to come. But until the time he was leaving Rivandra did not appear as well, but it did not cancel Areta's intention, his departure will not be delayed.
Julian, Anna, and Rossy take off Areta heavily. Anna even chose to enter her room in haste to shed the tears she was holding - hold it in her room, all regret now came, how he saw the frail body that had stayed with him and held the title of son-in-law barely got happiness.
Areta got into the car accompanied by sobs Rossy and Bi Jum who drove her to the front of the house, the wave of the woman's hand became a separation between them.
...“Want to go directly to the airport, Non?” Ask Mr. Sam, Julian's personal driver...
...“Mr Sam, can you take me to Rivan's hospital first?” Ask Areta...
...“Good Non” said Mr. Sam...
Arriving at the hospital owned by Rivandra was in fact Areta did not enter the hospital, just in the parking lot. Areta stood outside the car looking up at the third floor, the floor where Rivandra's room is located, there was no courage Areta to meet the man who still ruled her heart.
...“I say yes Brother, thank you for the taste that Kak Rivan once expressed and gave, Kak Rivan take care of health, do not stay up all night because of work, do not be reckless Kak, Kak, succumb to Brother Mauren so that your relationship is calm, just like before there was I” Areta muttered, as if Rivandra was in front of him...
...“I'm sorry I separated you from your son Sis, I promise I will raise our son very well, make his fate much better than mine, don't worry, I would still tell him that his father was the one who loved him the most, see if he grew up, he will remember you that you are Papa Best” a drop of tears fell from Areta's eye...
...“We say goodbye Kak” he said again, then back into the car which then drove away from the place...
Rivandra was more agitated sitting, he then stood up, his steps slowly towards the big glass where he could see the rows of skyscrapers and city traffic, his net scan starting from the rows of offices in front of him, up to the parking lot.
The car that brought Areta in fact did not go to the airport, Areta asked Mr. Sam to take her to the train station, he could not fly to the destination city listed in the business class plane ticket, he said, he didn't want Rivandra to look for him one day. Arriving at the station before getting out of the car, Areta took off the necklace and wedding ring given by Rivandra, then put it in an envelope containing a plane ticket and an ATM card that Rivandra had given her, he only pocketed the remaining income that Rivandra had given him which he felt was enough to continue his life for a while, he then left the envelope to Mr. Sam to be given to Rivandra later.
Areta walks down the train station, sits herself in a waiting chair thinking about where she is going, a desperate move for a pregnant woman with no relatives or relatives, there was no one he knew out there, when people passed by the station with their own purpose, only he was confused there was no purpose or preparation, just have the spirit and hope that God will make things easier.
...“Where are we going, son?” He muttered, He then got up, walked up to the train departure board, his net scanned one by one the names of cities he had never been to before, perhaps he was destined to be a stranger to any place he visited....
...“Heeemm, how about we go to Jogja just son? Mama has been horrified he said Jogja city is good, clean, people are friendly - friendly, hopefully there we meet the same people - good people ya Nak” murmured again while stroking his stomach, he said, Areta then headed to the ticket sales place by making do’a hopefully this is the right decision. After the ticket and boarding pass in hand, he then looked for a place for food vendors, his stomach had begun to rumble, he had to fill the intake for himself and his son...
...“Areta!” April's shrieking voice was blaring, not only did Areta turn her head, the people there also dropped her gaze in April now, Areta did ask April to meet her at the station, face to face for the last time because Areta doesn't know when they'll meet again...
...“April” said Areta while waving her hand...
...Areta unravels her embrace, “Sister Fabian tau?” Ask Areta...
...“Yes, maybe from the monkey Mauren Ta, Kak Fabian really wants to go to your hospital, because he can not call or chat you, he said blocked the same kamu” ...
Areta just smiled, she did close access to the man in her past, she did not want to deal with anyone who was in the family Om and Tantenya.
...“Where are you going Ta, who is there?” ...
...“Want to go to Jogja Pril, I have no one there, you know I am a Pril kara, I just try my luck, I just try my luck, hopefully there is sustenance for me and my son there” said Areta while stroking her stomach...
...April frowned, “Bentar - bertar, instead of you miscarried Ta?” ...
...Areta shook her head, a smile rose on her pretty face, “she was strong Pril, she persevered, maybe she knew that her mother would really be alone if she didn't exist” ...
...Netra April juicy already, “Yes Allah Aunt nephew, you are great darling, thank you for holding on for Mama Nak” he said while stroking Areta's stomach, “ya I already bought a train ticket to Jogja yes, you wait here Ta” said April while going to move but Areta grabbed the hand of April...
...“Pril you don't need to come, don't mess with me Pril, you have a life here, there's your parents, your brother” ...
...“Because I have my own life so I want to come with you, as long as you know yes Ta, Papa the same Mama divorced a few months ago, even already in marriage again, but, that's why I live in an apartment, while my brother is busy himself as the bin candidate, so in fact I am also your own kayak, already ah I want to buy a ticket first!” His story while running away from Areta who is still gawking, April seems to have prepared for his departure, there are two travel bags that he brought with him...
Both of them are now sitting in the train that will take them to a new destination, Areta comforted her seat, her net occasionally staring out the window
...“Rivan doesn't know about this kid, Ta?”...
...“I don't want him to know Pril, let him continue his life with Mauren's sister there, I'm lucky to meet the good doctor Kartini and want to nolongin cover up my pregnancy Pril, I don't want this kid to be taken care of by Mauren, he's evil Pril, he accidentally made me fall and almost miscarry, she said, he even still said I was spoiled actor when I was in pain like wanting to die Pril, so evil he” said Areta, April who had sobbed to embrace his best friend...
...“We fight together yes Ta, like fitting on campus first, we start everything from zero again, I believe you will be a big man later” said April, “Kasian your son Ta, I believe you will be a big man later, he is the son and grandson of the conglomerate, but maybe later his life will be the same we will not be easy” he said while stroking again Areta's stomach...
...“I do not want to drag you in my difficult life Pril, I do not want ngerepotin”, said Areta...
...“Areta, if I'm in your position, I'm sure you'll do the same, it's important we have to start thinking there want to work or what work”...
...“I may not work in my condition with two gini Pril, I may want to open a business, but I have not thought about opening a business what” ...
...April cradle for a while, “What must be his business that does not make you tired, can not stalls or anything complicated - ribet, maybe we can open photocopy services and sell Ta stationery, there are many schools and campuses, later I ask for help there to find a cheap place”...
...“I have jewelry from Oma Pril, later I can sell for modal”...
...“I also have money from the sale of my sport motorbike, later it can be merged anyway so we can buy a copy machine the same other details that we can sell”...
...Areta surprised, “Hah? You sold your motor? Not that he is like a girlfriend to you yes that supposedly you will not go anywhere - other whatever happens?” Goda Areta ...
...“Yeehhh pake menggeledek again, it's old tuh motor, kayak girlfriend if bosen must be replaced. ahahaha” April and Areta chuckled together, a little happiness among the future that will somehow....
...****************...
Rivandra hastened her step into the airport, she has contacted the airport authorities she knows in order to enter the waiting room gate Areta boarded aircraft, he said, about forty minutes to departure means Areta should still be there, today she decided to take Areta, rest assured and plead if necessary, he can't lose Areta for anything. Tired eyes Rivandra scanned her surroundings desperately, she ran here and there looking for the figure of Areta, dear until all the passengers get into her plane she did not find Areta.
...“Oh my God Areta, where are you?” Murmured Rivandra frustrated, he tried again to contact Areta via his cellphone for the umpteenth time but it was not active, not broken charcoal he then contacted Mr. Sam, and then he called, hoping for a miracle if Areta changes her mind and decides to return home...
...“Hello Mr Sam, Areta where is Mr Sam? Is he leaving?” Leaning Rivandra through her cell phone with breathless breath...
...“Loh so sir, but take the train, was asked to be escorted to the train station, this Non Areta also has a deposit for Tuan” said Mr. Sam...
Rivandra so shocked, “so Areta keep going?” Mumbled wailing. Rivandra wasted no more time, running out of the airport to the parking lot and driving quickly to the train station
Rivandra had been indifferent to the sight of him when he ran here and there around the station to find Areta, every platform he went to because he did not know where to look, where to find, everyone whose stature is the same as Areta he greeted, although in the end he had to apologize because it turned out not the figure he was looking for.
...“Areta, please don't go, I beg” he said with gasping breath and tears seeping, he was like lost among passersby ...
Mr. Sam who followed found his master was standing in the middle of the station with eyes that look out around him, Rivandra's face was reddened and wet, the man did not care about the person who looked at him confused, and he did not care, why does a man in a neat suit and handsome face look so frustrating
Mr. Sam did not waste time, after he gave the envelope Areta deposit to Rivandra, he also went to look for Areta, Rivandra was getting destroyed when he saw the contents of the envelope that Mr. Sam gave, and he was looking for her, as if there were no memories and help that Areta wanted to receive from her and her family, she returned her dowry, ATM, and even her flight ticket. Rivandra folds the envelope and puts it in her pants pocket to give it to Areta again, her legs running back in search of Areta without despair.
Unfortunately, until all the trains had departed and the station began to be quiet, neither Rivandra nor Mr. Sam found the figure of Areta, Rivandra gagged and gathered on the station floor, her tears broke, she said, his heart was broken to pieces, now he realized Areta did not want to go for a while as she thought, but forever
...“Please do not go Areta, please” he said with sedu sedan, Mr. Sam looked concerned about the man he never found crying, he said, the middle-aged man then helped the still sobbing Rivandra to get up, and left the abandoned train station. ...
