The End of Two Semesters
Chapter 51 - The Temple of Loving

Santi went back into his room. He had already talked everything over to both his parents, and both of Aryan's parents. Santi knows, her mother-in-law was disappointed with her decision, but how else? He had an appointment with Naira, and Arya still often met Naira, so for what still continues to be together, but Arya lately often lies with him.

Arya follows Santi to her room, she wants to talk again about Santi's decision, and about her meeting Naira.

“Can't you change your decision, San?” ask Arya.

“For what did I change my decision, Ar? If it is clear you can not help solve this problem, you are even with Naira, meet Naira and go together,” sigh Santi. “Thus it has proven, no, if you still want it?”concluded.

“I did meet Naira, but not as you thought, San!” Arya.

“What do you really want, Ar? You're kind to me, say you love me, say you want to solve this problem together, but you still see Naira? You said you didn't want to be together anymore, did you? But, what? Don't lie to your heart, Ar. If you still hope, just say,” said Santi.

“Bu—not like that, San!” aryan hatch.

“Then what was it like? There is no way you no longer love Naira, but your treatment is so gentle with her,” said Santi.

It is not easy to forget the memories with Naira who Arya knit from the past High School. He can forget Naira, can love Santi, and already does not love Naira, but the affection for Naira, never lost. Arya couldn't bear to hear Naira cry and say she misses him. Arya could not see Naira like that. But, on the one hand Arya has Santi, she also loves Santi very much, but it is difficult to reject Naira who always wants to meet him, but obviously Naira already wants to damage her household with Naira.

“I love him, San. Honestly I couldn't see her crying, I could make her like this, I decided to end my relationship with her, without thinking about it, because I didn't want to lie to her, if I had married you. And, I also don't want Anin not to have a father if I end my marriage with you, all I do for Anin's sake, so that she has a father, San. Can you separate me from Anin? I love him so much even love him,” said Arya.

“So what are you doing with me this is all for Anin's sake? Not because you love me, Ar? Ar, why are you that kind of? I opened my heart to love you, but you pretended to love me all this time? And, you're doing this for Anin?” peekik Santi sad. “I realize, I may be too proud and happy to be noticed you, loved you, even loved you. It turns out that it was all fake! All of that is just pretend!”

“San, I'm sorry.” That's all that came out of Arya's mouth.

Santi did not expect, it turns out Arya was just pretending all this time. It turned out that he was doing this for Anin alone, not because he sincerely accepted her.

“How can he sincerely love me? As for me, this is a despicable woman, a woman who is already pregnant out of wedlock! Forever no man can accept me for who I am. Like Arya, her heart still wavers. I know, Arya also wants to have a perfect woman, who can keep her honor, only with Arya giving up everything, unlike me, I'm a former person, even Fano said I wasn't pregnant with him, because I wasn't a virgin when I did that with Fano. Is this how I am?”

Santi cried until his body shook, he sat on the bed hugging his legs. Arya sees his wife who may have been very disappointed with him. Arya approached him, he sat down next to Santi, and was about to grab Santi's body, but Santi shook Arya's hand.

“Leave me alone, Ar. I want to be alone first. You wait for news from the court, I will continue my lawsuit, I don't want to force someone to love me. You Iave your heart first, to whom you will give your heart, resting your heart on your last port. I don't want people to love me only half-heartedly,” Santi said sobbing.

“San, don't be like this! I'm sorry, I did meet Naira, but ..”

“But, what?” cut Santi. “It's clear everything, Ar. I want a sincere person to love me, not out of pity, and maybe out of lust. I accept, you did it because to satisfy your desires only. Consider it a gift from me. Our wedding gift, a gift for my gratitude because you have made me able to face everything with this loudness,” said Santi. “Please exit, Ar.”

Arya got out of bed. He came out of the room, and met his parents who were sitting in the living room with both of Santi's parents.

“How, will Santi change his decision?” ask Arni.

“Bu Halimah, please persuade Santi, why is he like this? Can we talk about this all right?” arni Pinta.

“The decision is in Santi's hands. Maybe Santi wants to calm himself down first. Later if you have found the right time, we will talk to Santi well again,” that is only Halimah's answer. “Better you go home first, Aryan boy. Let Santi calm his mind first.”

“Ma, please, give Arya a chance. Arya's sorry,” said Arya.

“Let's talk to Santi, please respect Santi's decision,” said Halimah.

“Pa, please refer Santi,” Aryan pinta to Hermawan.

“Papa did not know what to say, papa was disappointed by Santi's decision to accept Naira's request. Why didn't you just let papa die back then? But, if papa dies, who will take care of Santi? You do take good care of my children and grandchildren, but your heart can't lie, you still want Naira. There is no woman in this world to be cheated on, Arya. Please look carefully, where should you tether your heart. If you only feel sorry for my son, it is better to leave Santi, because I can still love him sincerely, even though he is not my biological child,” said Hermawan. “Come home, reflect on this matter, and strengthen your heart, if you choose Naira, ask your mother for her blessing, and let my own child, I can still take care of my son and granddaughter,”.

“Please persuade Santi, Mr. Hermawan,” pinta Arni.

“I will talk carefully with Santi,” replied Hermawan.

“Her, you definitely know, which one is best for Santi, persuade him.”

“I don't know, Zak. I don't want to force Santi anymore. He is an adult, he knows what is good and what is not good for him, ” replied Hermawan. “Order or no order, we remain friends, Zak. You don't worry about that. I respect my son's decision,” Hemawan said.

Hermawan was disappointed with Arya, especially until Arya met Naira. She is also disappointed with Santi, who risked her marriage for her sake. After Arya came home with her parents. Hermawan is still sitting on the middle room chair. She imagines how Santi feels when she risks her marriage for her sake.

“I always make Santi suffer, Lim. I'm sorry,” said Hermawan. “Should have let me die instead of her risking her marriage just for me.”.

“You don't talk like that, Mom. Santi did it all because he loves you. Although Santi is stubborn, but his heart is soft, he is always sincere in loving someone, Mas,”.

“But not like this. Is there no one but that woman named Naira, who donated her blood to me?”

“Maybe there is none, Mas, so Santi asked Naira,” replied Halimah.

Santi is still sitting glued, staring at photos of Arya with Naira on Naira's social media. Santi did not expect Arya ever planned to want to have a luxury home as it was given to her. It turns out that the house is exactly with the dream house of Naira and Arya when they first dated.

“Persis, exactly once. I know now, it turns out Arya has not been able to forget Naira. Just giving me a house, similar to Naira's dream house? Is that a house really going to be given to Naira? But, since I'm his wife so he gave it to me, then he would bring Naira into my household as a second wife? Crazy, this is really crazy! I didn't expect Arya to be like that, how could she be like that to me!” inner Santi.

Santi did not want to take a headache again, his decision was steady to part with Arya. “If there is no blood donation incident, maybe I never know, if they still meet each other,” Santi's inner.
