Chapter 4 - The past

"You just got home, Mas? Here's the briefcase, let me take it," Maira said, smiling, her hand already wanting to take the briefcase in her husband's hand.

"No need, I still have my own hands."

Aris removed the woman's hand so as not to hold her briefcase. He immediately stepped into the house with quick steps. While Maira kept following him from behind just to apologize.

"Mas, I beg your pardon. I know I was wrong," said Maira, still trying to apologize to her husband. He will not give up to get forgiveness from his own husband.

"I don't need your sorry, you better get out of this house."

Aris no longer needs forgiveness from his wife, he just wants his wife to leave this house that belongs to him. How many times has Aris said that to his own wife.

"Mas, don't kick me out of this house. I promise I will change," Maira said, she didn't want to leave this house before she got the treasure from her husband. There was no way she could leave her husband's house just like that. Without getting anything from her husband.

"How many times have I given you the chance to change, but what? You're still in contact with that man," Aris explained with a very sharp gaze, visible on Maira's face as if she was scared. In fact, the truth is that Maira is not afraid of her husband at all.

"I promise this is the last time I will change, don't you feel sorry for our family. If they know how we are separated, Mas? They will definitely be disappointed to see us fighting like this," Maira said with a sad face, so her husband could see her fully pity. But in reality, the man did not feel sorry for him at all.

"I'm not the type of person who gives several chances, I'll only give you a third chance. If you have violated the third chance, it means you have to leave this house."

Aris looked away, he was not a man like out there who always gave his wife a thousand chances.

His principle is when he is betrayed or hurt by his wife. He would just throw her away, no matter what his family would say in the future.

"Mas, I beg your pardon just this once, I promise I will be a good wife. Or you need to confiscate my cellphone so I don't have anything to do with Arga anymore."

Maira promised her husband not to be close to the man again. Even though in fact it's the same, Maira is still in touch with that man again.

Maira told her husband that if she was willing her cellphone would be confiscated by her own husband. Aris thought he didn't need to reveal his wife's privacy. What he wants is for his wife to take care of her husband's feelings only.

"Handphones are each other's privacy, a husband has no right to open his wife's cellphone. But a wife must also know herself, if her husband is still at home."

Aris couldn't stop thinking about his wife, didn't he say that from the beginning we were married? Aris asked his wife to keep her feelings to herself. We don't need to check or suspect each other's cell phones.

"Yes I know I was wrong, but I beg your pardon."

Maira admitted that she was wrong when she approached her husband and touched his arm. But Aris kept his hand away, not wanting to be touched by his own wife.

"Let go, I don't need your promises anymore."

Aris bulging his eyes, while looking at his wife with a sharp gaze. Aris immediately walked up a ladder, his body was already tired just needed to rest in his room.

"Mas wait a minute," said Maira seeing her husband had just left.

"Gosh, why is it so hard for Mas Aris to persuade him!" muttered Maira not knowing what else to do, so that her husband believed in her. He was just afraid, if his family knew all about his behavior.

This dark night, there is a woman who is daydreaming on the balcony of her room. With his hands hugging himself, he remembered the words from his brother.

Is it true what his brother said not to get close to other men. Apart from only the man chosen by his brother.

It was impossible for him to continue to obey his brother's wishes, even though his parents never forbade him to get close to anyone.

Nayla thinks she is an adult, she doesn't want to be restrained by her brother all the time. He also has his own decision, until when will he continue to follow his brother's words.

Flashback On

In 2019, where Nayla was dating a man who was so handsome. The man is Rudi, who has made Nayla fall in love.

The first time Nayla met Rudi was when she was at a friend's house. Every day Nayla plays at Raina's house, at her house Nayla sees that the man always comes to Raina's house.

Nayla just found out that this man is Raina's best friend. Making Nayla tell everything to Raina. That she really liked this man, Raina immediately matched them both.

A few days later, Nayla and Rudi started dating. They both live happily, Nayla once asked Rudi. If he likes himself, we always go for a walk every day.

However, every time we go out Rudi always brings his best friend too. Makes Nayla a little jealous, why does Rudi bring Raina every time we walk together.

A few days later, Nayla saw Rudi and Raina at a restaurant. He couldn't believe why they were both there.

"Why are you Nay?" Bang Riko scolded when he saw his sister stop walking while looking at someone from behind.

"I feel like I see Raina and Rudi," said Nayla, she felt that she saw her lover with her friends too.

"You're just looking at it wrong, Dek," said Bang Riko, maybe it's just that Adil is just looking at it wrong. There's no way his lover was in the Mall like this.

"No bro, I'm pretty sure I saw Raina and Rudi. Sis, let's go to the car first, I want to find them both."

Nayla still chuckled, that she really saw her lover with another woman. He intends to follow his girlfriend with the woman, so that he is no longer curious.

Nayla asked her brother to get to the car first. Later he will surely follow his brother to the car park. If he didn't follow the man, it would only make him more curious.

"Yes, brother, go to the car first," said Bang Riko, walking back to the parking lot first.

Nayla stepped immediately following a man and a woman who had just entered a restaurant.

When Nayla entered the restaurant, she was surprised to see Rudi holding Nayla's hand. The two of them sat down at an empty table.

"No, this is definitely impossible. You are really mean, Mas," Nayla muttered as she saw her boyfriend with his own friends.

So, all this time his friend had betrayed him. Since when did the two of them have a relationship like this? Nayla is sure, the two of them have been in a relationship for a long time.

Nayla immediately entered the restaurant, following the two of them from behind. He was afraid that his girlfriend and his friend would find out.

"Honey, what would you like to eat?" asked Rudi while stroking Nayla's hair gently.

"What do you eat? What's the most delicious food, Mas?" Raina replied, still feeling confused about what to eat at this time. He asked his girlfriend's opinion only.

"Sushi looks delicious honey," Rudi suggested opening the food menu that was already on the table. He saw a food that he thought was so very delicious food.

"Okay, that's all I want, sir." Raina just nodded her head. He agreed to his girlfriend to eat sushi only.

"Rai, how is my relationship with Nayla?" Rudi scolded, wanting to ask his girlfriend about his relationship with his girlfriend's friend.

"Mas, please don't break up your relationship, okay?"

Raina pleads with her lover not to break her relation with her friend. He just didn't want to make Nayla sick, if Rudi dared to break up the relationship between the two of them.

"But Rai, I don't love him. If he finds out, how are we going out, Rai!" Rudi explained, that he didn't even love Nayla at all. He dated her only because of Raina's request.

"Man, please don't tell him. I just don't want him to be disappointed. I'm doing this because I want to make him happy too."

Raina kept begging her boyfriend not to hurt her friend. He just wants to make Nayla happy, even if he does it in the wrong way.

"Yes, he's happy, but I also feel bad for him. If he finds out, he'll be angry with us, Rai."

Rudi thought his girlfriend's friend would indeed be happy. But he feels guilty for Nayla. It's like he hurt her feelings.

Nayla who was still standing in the hiding place, she listened to the conversation between the two of them. So, all this time Rudi has been dating him just out of pity.

Really, it makes her feel so very painful. He did not think, his girlfriend and also his friend had betrayed him.

"For that, I will think again, Mas," said Raina, she will think again.

Raina is just afraid of hurting her friend's feelings, there's no way she can admit it to Nayla. That he has a relationship with his girlfriend.

Nayla was fed up with the behavior of the two of them, immediately walked up to the two of them with a look so very angry.

"Oh, so you guys are in a relationship?" Nayla scolded, making them both very surprised to see her in this restaurant.

How could Nayla be in the Mall, is it possible that Nayla followed the two of them from the start. Raina was so panicked, she didn't know what to do anymore. While his friend was already in front of him.
