HAVE YOU EVER LOVED ME? (TAMAT)

WORK BACK

Arumi and Rayyan decided to return to Jakarta that afternoon. Rayyan actually still wants the two of them there. He wanted to make that moment for the honeymoon. But he realized he had made a mistake. He whose emotions are often explosive, doing things without a second thought, can only regret his stupidity for having forcibly snatched away his wife's honor.

"I'm sorry, Arumi." Rayyan said in silence as they were in the car.

Arumi refused to answer. She could only turn her eyes in the opposite direction to her husband.

Rayyan tries to hold Arumi's hand, but is immediately pushed aside by Arumi.

"You go back to my house. We start from the beginning. We're gonna build a new family there." Rayyan said that sounded wise.

"No, I don't want to go home. I'm going home to my dad's." Said Arumi nonchalantly without seeing her husband.

"Well if that's what you want." Rayyan this time relented, she knew she had forced Arumi a lot, this time she would obey Arumi's will. He'll be patient.

The Bogor-Jakarta trip is simply adorned with silence without chatter from their mouths. Each one of them was busy with his own thoughts.

Arumi sighed as Rayyan actually drove her home. Her car that was brought yesterday by her husband's manor was also parked in her yard.

Rayyan immediately went down and opened the door for Arumi. But first Arumi who opened her own door handle.

"Arumy.." Rayyan touched Arumi's hand and gripped her tightly. "I beg you to forgive me."

"I've forgiven you despite the weight. But I need time to heal my wounds." Arumi let go of Rayyan's hand and immediately entered the house, After Budi opened the gate for her.

"Mas Rayyan didn't come in, Ma'am?" Ask Mr. Budi as Arumi passes in front of him.

"No sir, just close the door." Arumi's Word.

Rayyan could only stare at Arumi's back which started to move away and into her house.

With a heavy heart he finally went from there. He knew Arumi needed time to be alone. Rayyan immediately drove her car towards her office in the Central Jakarta area.

It was already 3pm when he arrived at the office. Luckily today all the business was handled by Andre. Andre still works there. Rayyan knows Andre is reliable, nor does she want to make Arumi angry again if she fires her cousin.

Rayyan approached Andre in his room.

Tok tock..

"Lake in." Andre.

Andre was shocked when he saw Rayyan for the first time enter his room.

"Welcome Mr Rayyan, how can I help you?" Andre actually felt annoyed at Rayyan, if not for finding a job that was difficult in Jakarta, he would have been happy to get out of there. But she needs the job, especially soon she's getting married to Sherly.

"May I have a quick chat with you, Ndre?" Rayyan said in a depressed tone. It seemed like Rayyan was enduring a deep sadness. Think Andre

" Could, please sit Mr. Rayyan."

"Can't you just call me Rayyan?"

"Oh.. Okay." replied Andre briefly

"Can you help, so Arumi can come back to my house?"

"Why do you suddenly want Arumi back? You made him go away and he hates you so much, Ray."

"I'm sorry."

"I just realized how I felt when Arumi walked away from me."

"Slow Ray! You've made Arumi lose everything. So do you think Arumi will forgive you?"

"I don't know. Therefore I need your help to convince Arumi, that I've changed."

"Yes, you change when you get everything. Remember Ray, it wasn't Arumi who was wrong. But now he is the one who suffers the consequences. She's a victim just like you, too, right?" Andre already knew everything when he visited Arumi some time ago.

"Yes if you don't want to help." Rayyan stepped out of the room with a very chaotic heart. Love has made him lose his mind. And all because of his own fault.

Andre felt sorry for Rayyan who looked so messed up today. But Andre does not want to interfere too much with the household affairs of Arumi and Rayyan.

Next Day.

Arumi was ready with her work clothes. He must forget everything. He must rise and not fall again. He needs that job. He will apologize to Arsya because he missed work yesterday.

Arumi's car drove to her workplace. Occasionally she pinched her forehead which felt dizzy due to lack of sleep.black circles also adorned her beautiful eyes.

When he arrived, he hurriedly met Arsya. But Arsya has not come. Arumi decided to wait for Arsya in front of her room.

Not long awaited arrived.

"Arumy.." Arsya said with a charming smile.

"Sir Arsya, I'm sorry because yesterday I didn't go to work."

"Why didn't you come in? Just a day of work you dare to skip. I'll give you punishment." Arsya answered with her distinctive smile.

Arumi was surprised Arsya was angry or not. Her thought.

"Yes, you can punish me. I know I was wrong. I will accept punishment from my father. But please don't fire me, sir."

Arsya laughed out loud. "You're so funny Arumi. It's okay. Your job yesterday was handled by another staff. Yesterday why?

"So you're not angry?not my law? Yesterday I had business, sir. I also forgot to call the office for permission." Arumi knew that was not a logical reason. But there's no way he's telling Arsya the truth. But apparently the man was staring at Arumi with another look.

"OK, if you want to be punished, you can buy me lunch later. How's it? I'll wait in the lobby." Without permission, Arsya immediately entered his room with a faint smile.

Arumi is not feeling good about Arsya. She is also unlikely to go alone with Arsya, due to her status as a wife.

"Hello Key, you're going to your sister's office later this afternoon. I'm gonna take you to lunch together."

"What do you want to buy me, Rum? It's lunchtime I'll be there." Answer Keisya.

Arumi was relieved that she did not eat alone with Arsya. Arumipun stepped into the elevator that would take him to his office located two floors below the GIOVANO FASHION CEO's room.

Ting.. Elevator door open..

"You?"

"Arumi?" They both stared at each other. There were a thousand questions in their minds.
