Eva and I got out of the rented house. Eva simply took her clothes and the clothes of her son as well as some other important items. He can't take it all because later the hassles will take him.
Everything was easier because Mas Adji got drunk and fell asleep.
"Where are you going now?" ask me while driving the car. I don't know where to drive my car.
Eva smile. "Will you help me one last time?"
"What's that?"
"Please take me to the station. I'm going out of town tonight."
"You sure? Have you contacted your brother? You know the address?"
Eva shakes. "But I know his house. I can just come to his house."
"You sure?" I'm a little worried.
"When my parents were there they used to take me there. So I memorized his house."
"All right."
I drove my car to the station.
"Just stop here" Eva said, stopping me.
I pulled my car over and stopped at the station parking lot. We both got out of the car. I helped get Eva's things out of the trunk.
"thank you. Once again I'm very grateful to you" said Eva again. He lowered his head.
"If there is a most self-destructive and shameless woman in this world, then I must be the one." Eva's tears came back for the umpteenth time today.
"I have ruined your life, but you are my angel of salvation." Eva kept her head down. Her tears kept making my heart cry.
"It's Eva, don't exaggerate. I'm just helping."
"I have to go." Eva pulled her bags because she didn't want to cry any longer.
"Do you have money to buy tickets?"
"I still have a little stash."
"Then for the cost of living there later? You don't have a job, do you?" I've even thought far there.
"I'll sell my wedding ring for living expenses until I get a job." Likha showed a ring still attached to her ring finger.
"Everything Mas Adji gave me he took again, including the jewels he gave. Only this ring remained. He must have forgotten this ring so he didn't ask for it back." Likha continued to look at the ring.
For a moment he stared at the ring.
"Win ... " Likha paused on her sentence.
"I'm sorry for everything I've done. I was wrong, I ruined your household, I hurt your feelings, I made you suffer, I admit all my mistakes. I beg you to forgive me." said Likha as she lowered her head.
I feel sorry for Eva, I even helped her but I don't know if I can forgive her.
"See you Win, thanks again for everything." Eva turned around and started to step on her feet.
I saw Eva walking away and then I remembered her son. The innocent little baby was forced to drink tea due to circumstances.
"God ...!!!"
I screamed as I ran after Eva.
"What's Win?" asked Eva after I had caught up with her.
I took out my wallet and took out some red banknotes.
"This .. You need this." I put the money in Eva's hands.
I don't feel my eyes go glazed over. The whole day with him made me understand how much he suffered even though it was the result of his own actions.
"Buy your son milk. Don't let him starve" I said in a choked voice.
Eva immediately grabbed my body and hugged me.
"What is your heart made of?" tanyanya in between sobs.
I returned Eva's embrace.
"Make it right there. Learn from your experience here" I said. Eva just nodded.
We let go of the embrace. Then Eva wiped her tears.
"See you. I have to go now."
I'm nodding. "Just be yourself."
Eva continued her steps. I don't know why I feel so sad about parting with my best friend.
I went back to my car after Eva was nowhere to be seen. Arriving in the car I cried as much as I thought about Eva.
Forget his mistake Win, after all he had already received his reply!

Adji POVs
I woke up because my alarm kept ringing. It was time to take a shower and go to the office. My head feels heavy. I remember what I did yesterday.
After work, I drink with my friends and then go home. But I vaguely remember meeting Eva as well as Vinda. Am I right to meet them or is it just my hallucinations?
I walked to the bathroom holding my head. I'm still trying to remember if Winda really came here last night.
"Where might the Winda be here? What's for?" my murmur drove away my curiosity.
I finished the shower and went straight to my room to get ready. In the room, I found the woman's closet was empty, and so was her son's closet.
"When did he come in? Didn't I lock this house?" I slammed the closet door. "Bas on a cunning woman!" my sift.
Every time I think about that woman I become emotional. I let her go because I realized if I continued with her I would lose control of myself. It felt unsatisfied to want to continue to teach him a lesson until he was truly sorry. And I'm afraid I'm going to overdo it.
Even though he's been begging me to forgive him, I still don't accept it. I can't forgive what he did to me. I just want him to suffer.
Even the screams of pain she let out never made me pity. All I felt was anger and resentment towards this woman.
I'm cruel ...? Might as well. Why am I cruel? It's because of him too, that damn woman and that jerk guy that made me like this.
Even I still want to beat up Haris if I see him again. No, the lesson I gave back then was enough. I'll teach him another lesson, if I need to destroy his household to be like mine.
They can't live quietly after ruining my life!
"Aaaaarrgh....!!!" I was frustrated thinking of two people who had already blatantly lied to me.
I see myself in the mirror. My face was full of mustaches and beard.
"She must have nagged if she saw this" I muttered. He always took care of me, making sure I looked clean and tidy, unlike today.
I'm going to the office. I took out the motorcycle to lock the door. Then I remembered something.
Who put my motorcycle in the house? Last night I got off the bike and saw the woman at the door. I remember hitting him and someone came to prevent me.
I'm trying to gather my memories of last night's events.
"Has Vinda really come?"
