It feels like Rafli can no longer stem the pain centered in the heart. His chest was crowded, as if the air in the room was not enough for him to just breathe. A huge wave of guilt seemed to be able to drown him. Thinking of Arumi who should be the victim of all slander and accusations. Which resulted in him having to live a hard life.
Deceived and framed her own brother, became a surrogate woman, and eventually expelled and exiled just like that.
"I've never signed a document like this. I also don't know about Arumi being sent abroad." Rafli glanced at Osman who was still sitting in front of him. "Who would have dared to forge my signature?"
"I don't know, Sir. Our confidants are still investigating."
Again, Rafli took a deep breath in order to unravel the anger in his heart. It was as if no punishment would be enough to pay for all his wrongdoings against Arumi.
"What about Arumi? Did you find any info on where he is now?"
"No. I'm still looking for information on where he is now. But ...." Osman's words hang, making Rafli blur a sharp gaze.
"But what?"
"I suspect that all this is Miss Yuna. He can manipulate your matchmaking will with Miss Arumi. He can also trap his own brother to take his place on the wedding day. It's not impossible that he can also get rid of Miss Arumi in a sneaky way though, right?"
For a moment Rafli fell silent while weighing Osman's words. That guy has a point. Yuna's slick woman would have the heart to do anything to achieve her goal, and even the heart to torture an innocent child like Aika.
"Where is that woman now?" rafli asked, with a stifled rage.
"I received a report that last night he tried to make a transaction at a hotel, but failed because he could no longer use his card. I think he's back at his old house."

The car that Osman was driving was speeding through the street that afternoon. They had just come to Yuna's old house where she used to live with her father and grandmother. But the house was already sold.
Along the way, Rafli's mind just keeps on going to Arumi. The owner of his long-lost heart.
Suddenly all the memories of Arumi sprung up in his mind. How Arumi got into her life and gave her a sense that never existed before. How he cruelly insulted and expelled the woman, to keep her from his life.
There's only one word in Rafli's heart now.
He regrets ....
If only time could be repeated, he would fix everything and start over. Apologizing deeply for Arumi. And accept any punishment that will be given by him later.
"I'm sorry, Arumi. Now you must hate me so much."

"Who?" yuna shouted annoyedly.
His precious afternoon break had to be interrupted by the sound of a loud knock on the door that seemed to be able to knock down his reot house.
"Yes, wait!" screamed once more.
Instead of being patient waiting, the figure in front of the door even more aggressively banged on the door. Yuna had to hold back furiously while walking in a hurry.
As soon as the door opened, his pair of eyes were perfectly rounded. Rafli along with some of his men were standing in the doorway.
"You-you?"
And what made Yuna feel goosebumps was, the look of Rafli's sharp eyes. It was as if it was able to tear its body into small pieces.
"Rafli? What are they going to do here? And how did they find this house?" yuna asked in her heart.
"Check every corner of this house! The slightest information is very valuable, so do not let anyone be missed!" osman's orders to some of his men.
"Good, Sir."
Without asking the owner for permission, the men of great stature had entered the house and searched every corner.
"What's this about? Why are you checking my house?" yuna asked, as if she knew nothing.
However, among the few men who inspected his house, no one answered the question.
Rafli then threw some data that was given Osman. It made Yuna dare to open it.
Yuna also had to be surprised after seeing the contents of the map. Because all the lies he's done in the past are exposed.
"You've committed a serious crime. First you claim to be the girl referred to in the letter. Second, you've deceived your own brother and framed him for your own sake."
Yuna nodded quickly. "This is not true! I can explain all this. It's not what you think it is. Someone must be trying to frame me."
"I don't want to hear a defense from you!" Rafli clenched his teeth in order not to yell at the woman. If it happens, maybe the neighbors will hear and be surprised. "Now quickly tell me where you're hiding Arumi!"
"Arumi?" Yuna felt her body tremble. "I don't know. Didn't he run away four years ago?"
Rafli's hands were clenched perfectly. If only Yuna was a man. Perhaps his fist had already floated into the woman's face.
Osman who could read the look on his master's face immediately opened his voice.
"Don't try to lie, miss. You must know where Miss Arumi is," cut Osman quick.
"I don't know where Arumi is! I haven't seen her since I got kicked out of Alvaro's house!" Yuna was still firm in her stance. Although he himself was already suspicious of where Arumi was now, he chose to remain silent in order to secure himself.
Hearing that answer, Osman grinned creepily. "Better tell me where Miss Arumi is. Otherwise, Mr. Alvaro might drag you to the police station" he added.
"I told you I don't know and my answer will remain the same!"
"Just tell me where Arumi is!" Losing patience, this time Rafli cried out in anger.
The more trembling Yuna's body. All he did was squeeze the edge of his clothes. Never before has he seen Rafli as hideous as he is now.
"Please say, Miss. If you tell the truth, Mr. Alvaro will release you from all charges and laws. But if you keep quiet, we're forced to drag you to the police station."
Osman's remark made Yuna pause for a while while weighing in. Going to jail is like ruining your life. However, telling where Arumi is is the same.
Yuna was in a huge dilemma.
"Osman, send this woman to jail and make sure she's languishing for a very long time!" Rafli's orders.
"It's easy, sir."
Like being at the end of a dead-end passageway, Yuna found no way to escape from this situation.
"Wait on! I'll say it!"
