The Successor's Wife of the President
arumi's arrival at Denna's house

Nights...

After a long wait in the upper room. Arum got up from his seat, and the husband returned. The man who stood with the accompanying secretary Tomi and Mr. Ragil sculpted.

"What are you doing here?" tanyanya. The cold look was still visible.

By Arum, she really misses the figure of her loving husband. But now, the man actually showed the other side that seemed to want to show that this was him who did have a more cruel attitude than when Arum played Alicia.

"You look like a disgusting creature, my husband. Though I wait for your arrival like a wife waiting for her husband to come home to work."

"What are you waiting for me for?"

"Of course I want to talk to you." Arum looked at him. That slightly pale face was emitting a plea.

"Is yesterday's talk not enough?"

"No!" He resolutely resisted the cold gaze and stabbed the tall man before him.

"You two get out!" Arga's orders give orders with emphasis. Both Secretary Tomi and Mr. Ragil were sent out, though both chose to stay at the door.

Back to that couple. Stand face to face in the silence of a large room. For a second, the room grew increasingly gripping and filled with awkward feelings. The silent, quiet that sounded was only the subtle roar of the air conditioning engine.

"I want to, we'll finish everything."

Arum ventured to speak. The one in front did not change his expression at all.

"I'll accept our divorce. Just so you don't keep me imprisoned in this house, and let me raise a baby in my womb outside, alone without you."

Arga clenched his hands tightly. His lips are still tight. If he doesn't control his emotions. Perhaps at this time Arum's smooth neck had strangled him strongly.

"I'm leaving, I'm not needed by you anymore, am I? Like what you said, that my contract is done."

Arum shed his tears. His heart was completely slashed. Hurriedly his right hand wiped roughly. She just didn't want to be seen doing the drama in front of her husband.

"One more, Mr. Arga Sanjaya!"

The deg! The man was increasingly angry when the nickname Mr. Arga was spoken by his wife.

"For everything you ever promised? I refuse to accept that as compensation. We can live without a penny of your money." Arum wiped away the rough tears that again escaped with his wayward.

"Good!" The man is speaking now. His hand pointed at the two netra hazel Arumi. "Please get out of this house. Without a penny of my money." The humus with arrogance.

Arum nodded too. "Thank you.." he murmured softly. He turned his body to take a few steps.

"You must remember! Once you decide to get out of this house, then you won't be able to come back. Even if you beg at my feet!"

Arumi took a moment. He breathed and twisted his body a little.

Her lips covered her best smile. While tears moisten the cheeks.

"I won't beg, and I won't regret it. Because I didn't do anything wrong, like what you had in mind. For God's sake, I'm not having an affair. That's the most honest answer I'm going to tell you, even if you'll never ask your doubts directly. And would rather believe the malicious accusations of the people out there, my husband."

Arga was flinching in his place. His brain swirled around digesting the long words his wife spoke.

"I hope you are healthy always, thank you for the wonderful moments you have given me. At least I really feel happy, being loved by a great person like you."

Arumi who again bowed politely like a servant. Turn around and get out of the room.

Klaaap...

"Arumi–" he mumbled softly, his right hand outstretched like he wanted to reach the woman who had disappeared from his sight. But his feet froze, the man sat down on the carpeted marble tiles.

One hand covered the entire closed eye. Sobbing in his current turmoil. Inwardly she did not want this to happen, but her brain that was successfully washed by Veronica's talk continued to produce toxic poisoning her own body.

Bell's voice rang out in the middle of this silent night. Denna's mother was awake, wearing a long cardigan and then exited the room before peeking out from behind the window.

Soon, I heard a quick step from above. A girl half ran down the stairs.

"Mother, outside is Arumi..."

"Arumi?" Mrs Ratih was surprised. Hurriedly followed Denna who was opening the door of their house.

The girl ran in the drizzling rain towards the woman who was now transfixed, standing in front of their large gate.

"Arum, my goodness!" Hurry Denna opened the lock. "What's going on?" He hugged a partially wet body in front of him.

"A–aku permission to stay one night here, huh?" The woman stammered, her voice sounding raucous and weak.

"You last night or forever, no problem. Come inside!" Rush in. Denna's mother was ready with a towel in her hand. Waiting for the second step to enter the terrace of the house.

"Geez, kid. You raining?"

The woman nodded slowly. "I was in the car, that was."

"Whatever the reason, your husband would really let you out of the house in the middle of the night like this." Denna. Arum touched his best friend's hand with a smile.

"I'm sorry, I'm interrupting the sleep of Ratih's mother as well as you."

"No dear, you're not bothering us. We'd better talk about it tomorrow, huh?" The middle-aged woman rubbed Arumi's wet forehead. "Your body is very hot. You feverish?"

Arum did not answer other than the teardrop that escaped from one corner of his eye. He even grabbed Denna's mother's hand and kissed her while crying as much as a child to her mother.

"Oh my God, what happened to you?" He was tightly wrapped in Arumi's body. The middle-aged woman was crying right now. No different from Denna who also shed tears also hugged Arumi's body from behind.

In the room, Mrs Ratih brought warm tea for Arumi.

"Drink this, have you eaten?"

"Already, Mom."

"Thank God. Now rest, don't forget the paracetamol in the drink."

Arum nodded slowly. "thank you. Emmm, I'm sleeping. Arum's okay, all right."

"Alright–" the middle-aged woman turned her eyes to her daughter. "Get him, Denna. If there's anything, wake me up, yeah."

"Yes, Mom."

"Yes already. Good night everyone. Mom, go to the room first." The woman came out leaving two pairs of friendly eyes on the bed.

"Rum, I was curious. What exactly happened to you?"

Arum was silent grasping tightly the cup in his hand. His eyes were poking at the transparent brown water inside his glass.

"All right, just rest. Tomorrow we will discuss yes. I really can't bear to see you still feeling this pain. Hopefully it's not a big deal." Denna shed tears that were immediately wiped by Arumi's warm hands.

"Don't worry about me. I'm not that bitch." Arum smiled thinly which actually made Denna hug him while crying.

Yeah, even though the girl doesn't know what the problem is. But seeing Arumi like this, of course he felt injured as well.

They hugged each other for a while, before finally laying down their bodies side by side. Denna even hugged Arumi's warm arms with tears that never stopped.
