"What are you doing in this house? Didn't my husband forbid you to come see Aika?" Yuna's impact echoed in the room.
Her words that suppress the word husband make Arumi inflamed. Of jealousy? Sure oes. Although in reality Yuna is indeed Rafli's legal wife.
"You have no right to forbid me from seeing my son! You're the real conman here!"
Yuna directly stepped forward towards Arumi, but Mother Riana positioned herself between the two. He who was still shocked looked at Arumi and Yuna in turn. From a close distance these two women do have a perfect resemblance and are very difficult to distinguish.
"Down your voice, Yuna! Do you want to make Aika cry again?"
Yuna jerks. Not accept the attitude of his mother-in-law who impressed defending Arumi. "Why did you let her into this house again? Did you forget my husband's message last night?"
"I gave her permission because my granddaughter needs her birth mother!" That answer even made Yuna even more furious.
"So now I've sided with this deceitful woman? Remember, ma'am, he's been humiliating our family and deceiving Rafli all along."
It was admitted by Ms. Riana that Arumi's actions were indeed wrong. He was just as disappointed as Rafli. But, the most important thing now for her was Aika. He did not want the innocent little baby to be a victim of adult selfishness.
"Although Arumi is still Aika's biological mother and she is also entitled to Aika."
However, Yuna did not seem to care about her mother-in-law's words. For him Arumi is like a virus that must be kept away from the Alvaro family environment.
"The con doesn't seem worthy to be Aika's mommy!" Yuna pointed at Arumi with fiery rage. "Go from here right now or I'll report you to Rafli!"
"Don't go too far, Yuna!" mom Riana's.
"Who's outrageous here, ma'am? I should have been mad at him, not defended him like this."
Tensions dominated for a few moments. Arumi doesn't talk much. Fighting was also useless, because Yuna had managed to plant seeds of hatred that rooted so deeply in Rafli's heart.
All he could do was hug and kiss his daughter as a sign of separation, then lay her on the bed.
"Dear, just be patient a little more. Mommy will come back to see you." He glanced at Mother Riana who was standing behind him. "Thank you for letting me hug Aika, Mom. It means a lot to me. I'll go first, please take care of Aika."
"Just calm down, Arumi. I'll talk to Rafli later and ask him to let you meet Aika."
"Thank you, Mom."
With heavy steps, Arumi left the house. Carrying all the pain of his heart over his wounds, anger and disappointment.
As soon as he came out of the gate, three men dressed in black confronted him. Arumi looked at the three foreign men in turn.
"Who are you?"
One of the three men bowed respectfully.
"Miss, Mr. Alvaro would like to speak with you. He asks that you come with us" said one of them.
"Rafli want to talk to me?"
"Yes, Miss. Please come with us." The man opened the car door.
Along the way, Arumi just looked at the streets that passed. When arriving at a crossroads, the car turns in the opposite direction to the office or hospital where Rafli works.
"Where does Rafli want to meet?" ask Arumi.
"You'll know when it comes."
That short answer made Arumi choose silence. After traveling for 30 minutes, they arrived at their destination.
Arumi's gaze spun in all directions. Suddenly his whole body felt cramped.
"Why are we going to the airport? Didn't you guys say Rafli wanted to see me? Then why are we here?"
"Sorry, we're just following your orders."
"What order?" Arumi's voice was trembling. He started to feel a little scared.
"Master gave the order that Miss Arumi would not approach the little Miss again. Nor will you return to your home, but to a new place. And sir wants you to leave today as well."
Arumi muai panicked after being able to guess the meaning of the man before her. His hand moved towards the doorknob of the car to try to escape, but the car door was locked.
"I'm not going anywhere. I'll stay here. Please open the door! I'm going home!" yelled the woman. However, there was nothing he could do as the two men sitting at the side held onto his arms.
"Don't argue! Master only gives you two options, jail or out of the country."
Again, the man's words made Arumi freeze.
"Jail?"
"Really! If you want to stay here, the prison is waiting. You'll probably be in jail for years."
Arumi felt her heart being squeezed mercilessly. Both choices are equally difficult. It was as if Rafli was punishing him so cruelly. Separated from Aika and must now be exiled abroad. Even Rafli had secretly prepared tickets and passports for him.
"I don't want to! Please tell Rafli, I won't mess around or demand anything from him. But please let me stay in this city!"
Once again Arumi tried to plead, the important thing was to be able to see Aika even if only from afar.
"Please don't complicate our work, miss. You know what you're like if you've decided something. After all, if you refuse, then Master will report you on charges of fraud."
Arumi was silent for a while. In his heart asked why Rafli punished him this cruel. But he also knows what Rafli is like if he has decided something. Whatever you do will not change it.
Heavy rain seemed to accompany Arumi's journey to a place that Rafli wanted to throw and isolate him. I don't know what kind of life awaits him there.
He can't guess.
From the plane window, Arumi just stared at the scenery below.
"Aika, sorry mommy had to leave you. Be a strong boy. One day mommy will definitely come back just for you, so we can be together again."
