A Story of Love and Betrayal
Chapter 8. Lied.
I just kept quiet because I honestly wasn't happy.
"Oya .. later do not call if I'm at home" continued Arga.
"Keep, if I miss you how, and when are you gonna be here again?" I asked in an annoyed tone.
"My workplace is near your house, why are you panicking so? " answer arga.
"She, but I must have missed you!" spoiled Arini.
"Geez, Rinnn. I work every day and my place of work is close to your house, which means we will always meet. Whether it's the morning or the afternoon after work, right?" arga assured me.
"It is" I answered briefly..
"So agree yes, you don't call me when I'm at home ,ok" pinta Arga.
I did not reply to Arga's remark with another remark, but I replied with a light kiss.
But over time it became an increasingly demanding kiss,
ahh ... again I was really excited, but it all stopped when Arga's phone rang.
"Repha. I have to go maybe he's been waiting" Arga said and passed away.
After Arga left, I felt a pain in the recesses of my heart, I smiled. I must keep smiling even though it hurts, because this is my wish.
"It's all just beginning, Arga. Just look .. You and Refa will feel the destruction I feel."
Arini laughed but in her heart cried bitterly over the life she lived.

*arga* point of view*
On the way to pick up Refa, I received several calls from him, I had not had time to answer because I was at Arini's house .
Until I get home to my in-laws,
"Assalamualaikum" said Arga.
Long time no answer I opened a door that was not in the key.
"Ree, Pah, Gara? are you guys home ?".
From the inside came the sound of rapid footsteps, it turned out that the housekeeper.
Then he said that Refa and Papah were waiting in the back garden.
"Ree. Ready already? I'm sorry I didn't answer your phone, 'cause I was driving."
"That's okay" replied the brief Refa.
I feel weird what this is, I'm really nervous whether I feel guilty for what I did ?.
"Yeahahah!." Because she screamed while slipping into my lap.
Distracting my confused mind.
"Yayah gala, yayah. Tenapa yayah long ago pick him up ?" ask Gara in an adorable tone.
"Sorry, dear. Now you've come to pick up Gara Seneng, right ?" said Arga.
"Gala is not very happy" said Gara while pursing her lips.
"Why? how can Dad's son be unhappy ,hmm ... try to tell Dad, what makes Daddy's son unhappy ?" ask Arga.
"Talena yayah tauuu, yayah tida pellah eghubugi tu celama and again tetita pulag, why do not you bring souvenirs for gala and mother, hmm !"
Because chattering with his language, the language of children his age while shaking his waist.
Everyone there laughed at Gara's adorable behavior.
"Does today's child grow up faster ?" said Arga slowly, but still heard by Gara.
"Already, already. Let's go home "
"Mother ! why are the guests memotog bicalaan that? guests know what you are! " say Gara shouted a little.
"Wah,wah. Little kids act like grown kids then, Mom doesn't have to worry about grown kids, does she ?"
Refa was irritated by his son's words, he said, raising his sleeves ready to act, immediately Gara closed his mouth and acted cute again.
While Arga and Adisatya held back laughter .
***
They have arrived at the Arga residence .
"Have you never cleaned the house, as long as I wasn't home ?"
The first thing that Refa asked after home, not asking me how I was doing, how did I go through the day alone ?.
Ahh. I'd better give up, anyway all this time I've always been at Arini's house.
"I'm busy, baby. When I came home I was tired of doing homework" explained Arga .
"Father belbohog, or hold a weak father ?" ask Gara in a mocking tone .
"What do you say is so smart boy" annoyed Arga.
"It's a shame to see mommy cibut megulus dilimu, then cibut megulus atu. But macih bica engeljatan spruce peteljaan lumah, then how bica ceolang plia dewaca cepeltimu bilag ,have been a guest telja sibut tida cangup melatutan peteljaan lumah. Real guests aren't any better than ckckckck's mom."
Screaming and shaking your head at the end of a sentence.
Making refa hold laughter.
Arga was speechless with a face expression that was difficult to decipher. Not understanding the words of his son.
Their conversation ended after Gara looked exhausted. How not, after a long journey, then still arguing with his father.
Exhausting the boy, and subconsciously sleeping on the sofa, I approached Refa after moving Gara to his room.
Then I hugged Refa,
"I miss you" in a whispering voice.
"I don't think so, because as long as we're not together, you don't contact me" Repha replied without turning his head or moving,
slowly Arga let go of her embrace.
"Aren't you the one who deliberately avoided me?"
"Didn't what for?." Refa asked back.
"I know wrong and I've apologized, but you're still ignoring me, what's his name if it's not dodging ?."
"Then as long as you're with Arini, don't you realize that you're always avoiding me ?" answer arini with a little pressing.
I was surprised when Refa said that, did I ignore and also hurt him? if he knew what had happened to me and Arini, what would he feel like ?.
"I just want you to know, Mom. If you dare to repeat your mistake again, then not only ignore you, but I can leave you without a word!" refa Ancam .
As soon as my heart stopped beating, what if Refa knew the truth about me and Arini? I feel like my world has stopped.
"Can't you forgive me, Ree? .. "cloak Arga, distressed by the threat of Refa.
"I've forgiven you, Mom. But unfortunately, this wound is difficult to heal, this memory that is difficult to forget" explained Refa with a sharp gaze.
"I can't do what you're doing, it's just that I don't want to .. don't want to be a cheap woman, don't want to hurt you, don't want to hurt you, don't want to disappoint Gara and the people who love me " said Refa .
I felt the words of Refa slap me, how could I not understand a woman as good as Refa. A woman who loves me and my son.
My feelings of guilt towards Refa grew even greater, as did the feeling of fear that enveloped me.
"As long as I'm not home, where have you been ?" suddenly, Reha asked.
Thank you for reading my work 🥰
