"Rumi" said Alfaro, looking at his wife who looked like a frightened man. He stepped back but was again stopped by Arumi.
"Don't come any closer" he shouted, "I'm Amanda not Arumi."
"What! Amanda? ... You are Arumi my wife" said Alfaro.
Alfaro was getting confused. Why does his wife become like this, what Arumi has been through to turn into Amanda. That's what Alfaro wants to know. Four years passed, the beautiful face was still the same, the beautiful body that always aroused the desire was more beautiful. The passionate longing of a lonely husband is so deep yet again destiny asks him to hold back.
"Get out of here, I'm no longer Arumi!" screeching Arumi up to her chest up and down as it blew away all the turmoil in her chest, she raised one hand that no longer wore their wedding ring, "Look I no longer wear that ring, on this beach I've thrown it away along with bad memories with you."
Alfaro was back. He was still confused as to why his wife had become like this. The trauma was profound. Arumi cannot control herself. Coinciding with the sad atmosphere, rain suddenly fell soaking the earth. Under the rain, Arumi and Alfaro stared at each other in silence. Until finally Alfaro accelerated his steps and then pounded Arumi ala bridal style by force.
"What are you doing, let me go!" arumi shouted while hitting the chest of Alfaro's field. Her punch weakened as her sense of smell detected the distinctive fragrance of her husband's body that she had always longed for. Yes, he was still that weak when he got a touch from Alfaro.
Alfaro takes Arumi into the car and follows him. Arumi tries to get out but unfortunately Alfaro moves faster to lock the door with a button next to the steering wheel.
The atmosphere became momentarily silent. Alfaro continues to look at Arumi, while Arumi throws his face out the window. After four years, it all felt so awkward. Even though love is still the same.
"Are you cold?" ask Alfaro at the end.
"No, I just want to get out, open the door!" arumi exclaimed as she stared intently at Alfaro.
Alfaro tried to calm down and did not want to make Arumi panic. He took his breath for a moment, controlling himself so as not to get carried away with the feeling of longing who wanted to immediately embrace the wife.
"Outside it was raining .. why is Arumi now this fierce, adorable," Alfaro said with a smile to Arumi.
"Yes I am fierce, I am no longer the Arumi that I used to be" Arumi said.
The mood was silent again. Alfaro was unceasingly smiling yet his eyes were teary. Arumi became misbehaved himself, wanted to run away but could not, wanted to expose all the dark stories in the past but his tongue was too weak, his heart was too sick to repeat it even though only through the story.
"How about we listen to music." Alfaro connected the bluetooth device on his phone to the car's music player. The song began to sound, a song that Arumi had sung at the annual camping event of the time. Alfaro had his own way of stirring up his wife's feelings, slowly, until the heart began to soften.
Hearing the song, Arumi could barely hold back her cries. The song that used to explain how she felt to Alfaro. The song he sang in front of Alfaro and all the company employees.
"Turn off the music" the weak-sounding Arumi's pinta.
"No way," said Alfaro, shaking his head slowly.
Arumi's hand moved to turn off the music player, but Alfaro immediately put away his hand to get away from the music player.
"Don't touch people's cars carelessly" said Alfaro then returned a ignorant smile to his wife.
Arumi was flabbergasted in disbelief, "Huh, have you always been this rough a long time ago?"
The atmosphere was silent for a moment. They dissolve with their own thoughts. It seems that Alfaro's silly attitude is able to make Arumi look calmer. Arumi looked back at Alfaro as he realized he shouldn't be this calm.
"Any .. there must be something wrong with me, I should hate you, I shouldn't be this calm now after what you and Mama did to me," arumi said when she returned to venturing into the brown netra of the husband.
Alfaro, who had originally been sitting leaning back, now straightened his body. Staring at the wife who is currently starting to open the heart that Alfaro wants to hear since earlier.
"You just walk away, let me be treated like an animal and dumped in the street by Mama, I really hate you" said Arumi, who can no longer hold back her feelings.
Deg.
Like being struck by lightning in broad daylight, the fact that Arumi revealed really hit Alfaro's mind. So all this time Mama was the cause of Arumi's disappearance. He was like a fool for four years because of his own mother's selfishness.
"You've misunderstood .. I didn't leave you, but I was in an accident until I was in a coma for a few days. You think you're the one who's tormented, so am I. When I came to my senses and Mama said you disappeared, I was like a madman trying to find you" Alfaro said.
Arumi pursed her lips. Knowing the fact that he and Alfaro were adored by Mama, he made him realize that Mama hated him so much that she did so far. He thought returning to Alfaro's embrace would only make him repeat the bad memories he could not forget until now. Maybe he was already immune, but what about Vino and Viona, he did not want his two children to feel rejection like he was experiencing.
"It's too late .. I'm happy with my own life, it's too hard for me to repeat everything, I hope you understand" Arumi said with tears that never stopped.
Alfaro approached, wiping away the tears that had soaked his wife's face, "I won't force it, but I just want to ask one thing...do you still love me?"
Arumi just kept quiet while looking at her husband so closely. He wanted to scream if he still loved his husband. But again the ego succeeds in mastering itself.
"No, I don't love you anymore" he said straightforwardly.
Alfaro shook his head in disbelief. That answer was not the answer he wanted to hear from Arumi's mouth, "No way."
"Four years of being a single parent, raising children without you, I learned a lot of things, if all I could do on my own without a man" Arumi said, unknowingly he re-opened a secret that made Alfaro again stunned.
"Kids? What do you mean."
"When I was kicked out by Mama and I found out that I was pregnant, my heart broke when I found out that there were two fetuses in my womb ... They grew up well despite living a simple life" explained Arumi.
Alfaro pulled his hair back and hit the steering wheel several times. She is angry with herself for letting Arumi and her children through years of hardship. Alfaro turned his head back towards Arumi who was still staring at him with teary eyes.
"I know you must hate me so much .. but can I meet them, our children," asked Alfaro who sounded softly, until he unconsciously the clear circle came out of the corner of his eye.
Arumi could feel the sincerity from Alfaro's request. He does not want to be a selfish parent. Although his heart was still traumatized yet at least Vino and Viona had to know who their father was.
