Three days have passed, but Mara and Arthur live like strangers. Mara repeatedly drives Arthur away, but Arthur insists he will not leave. As a result Mara is indifferent and always ignores him. Even Mara and Aldo were often alone in front of Arthur affectionately without thinking about Arthur's feelings at all.
This morning Mara was having breakfast with Arthur, there was only the sound of the clanking of spoons and forks accompanying them together without any sound from the two greeting each other.
" I've been seeing a lawyer to cancel the transfer of rights to your name, and I also asked him to take care of our divorce papers immediately." Mara opened her voice.
Degs...
Arthur clenches his hand tightly, moving quickly to get all the evidence of Aldo's crime before Mara asks him to sign the divorce papers.
" Today I want to go with Aldo, I hope you don't follow me as you always do." Connect Mara.
Without saying anything, Arthur passed by leaving Mara. He went into his room and called a man.
" Hello, how's your investigation progressing? What brings results?" Ask Arthur to someone across the street.
" Nearly perfect Boss, but we're deadlocked. Because it turns out that the coffee that Aldo ordered was not made by employees of cafe Bos. It looks like he's bringing people in from the outside, and
we're tracking his whereabouts."
" Got everything done, I'll give you a week before my wife can successfully claim my divorce." Arthur shut down his phone.
Arriving Arthur heard Mara's laughter from outside the house, he immediately rushed to the balcony of his room.
Degs...
Arthur's heart felt in a squeeze, sick but not bleeding when he saw his wife joking with her lover. Aldo appears to pinch Mara's cheek gently, while Mara is spun on Aldo's arm.
Soon they get in the car and leave Mara's house. Arthur clenched tightly his hand holding back the upset and pain in his heart.
" Now I can do nothing but look at the happiness of you two. Once I get solid evidence, I'll show you who Aldo really is and I hope you can open your eyes wide Mara. You should know that if Aldo is not a good man, he does not love you sincerely. I'm just Mara... Only I love you sincerely. I would do anything for you, even bet my life for you. I hope one day you realize it." Monologue Arthur.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
Tonight Arthur seemed very anxious, he walked back and forth in the living room while occasionally looking at the clock that was coiled around his wrist. The clock was three o'clock in the morning but Mara had not yet returned.
" Where did they go? Why isn't the clock coming home yet? Did something happen to Mara? Did Aldo hurt her? Or the.... "
" A fool you Arthur, why don't you put your men to follow them? Oh my... Protect my wife from the bad things that happen to her God... I beg!" Arthur looked worried.
Arthur sits on the couch waiting for Mara. One hour.. Two hours... For three hours Mara had not yet returned. Unable to wait any longer, Arthur gets off his couch to coincide with someone opening the door.
Czech....
Mara goes into her house, and Arthur approaches her.
" Miss Mara, where have you been?" Arthur looked at Mara.
" It's none of your business." The Sahut Mara cuek.
" Mara." Arthur blocks Mara's hand.
" I'm your husband, I need to know where you're going and what you're doing." Arthur said firmly.
" Who said you were my husband? You're not my husband, I never thought of you as a husband. You are my employees and forever you will remain my employees. Not my husband, do you understand?" Mara stared cynically at Arthur.
" It's okay, if you want to know where I'm from and what I'm doing, I'll tell you." Mara.
" Tonight I spend the night with Aldo until morning. Are you satisfied?"
Degs...
Arthur's heart stopped beating.
" You can't get me, because I'm completely Aldo's. I hope after this you don't complicate our parting process. I don't want my future son not to be with his real father." Mara's words left Arthur still dumbfounded by Mara's words.
" Is he really doing that? Does he really belong to someone else now?.. " Arthur's body staggered. He sat on the sofa holding his sadness.
" Hix... Hix... Oh my... What kind of husband am I that can't take good care of my wife. How can I account for all this in the presence of Mr Adi? What am I supposed to do? Be ill... It hurts so much to hear Mara's words. Why can't he see my love for her? Why would he prefer that jerk over me? Oh my... I should how?" Isaac Arthur.
Arthur immediately wiped his tears when he heard his mother's voice.
" Mom." Said Arthur.
Bi Ningsih sat down in front of her son.
" If Miss Mara has no intention of staying with you, you better let go. I don't want to see you in pain like this, son, we have to fight for love but if only one person fights, it won't work. It doesn't seem fair if you continue to feel pain that you yourself are unable to control." Bi Ningsih.
" No ma'am, I'm still going to fight for this marriage. There's something Miss Mara doesn't know. I'm sure if he finds out, he'll definitely consider everything." Sahut Arthur's.
" What if it doesn't? What if he thinks the truth you're telling is a lie you're intentionally trying to fool him? Aren't you gonna get hurt?" Tanya bi Ningsih looked at Arthur.
" If he doesn't get a knock on his heart, then I'll do as you suggest. I'll take it off sincerely, maybe he's not my soul mate, ma'am. But for now let me hang on first, I just need to pray for me." Said Arthur.
" It's up to you." Sahut bi Ningsih leaves Arthur.
Arthur returned to his room with a feeling of uneasiness. He is confused by his own feelings.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
One week passed, the lawyer came to Mara's residence. They sat on the living room couch.
" How about Lukman? Did the court grant my request?" Mara looked at the lawyer.
" I'm sorry I can't Miss! According to the will left by Mr. Adi, all of Mr. Adi's belong to Mr. Arthur. Even if Mr. Arthur is no longer your husband." Said Lukman.
Mara clenched tightly her hand.
" What about the divorce papers?" Ask Mara.
" I've made it Miss, but you need to know. In the will it says, if you and Mr. Arthur are divorced, then you must leave this house. Unless Mr. Arthur allows it."
" What???" Pekik Mara couldn't believe it.
" How could papa do all this
me me? Actually that's my papa's son what bang Arthur anyway. My whole." Mara Grousers.
" This is Miss's letter, you just have to sign it and then ask Mr. Arthur to sign it too. If you have, you can send it to me." Said Mr. Lukman giving documents for divorce to Mara.
" I'm sorry." Mr. Lukman passed from there immediately.
Mara read the farewell letter she had in her hand. I don't know why his heart felt so heavy.
" I don't care about how I feel, I have to sign it immediately and be free from such a petty human. It doesn't matter that I don't get papa's property, I have my own business and a lot of savings. The important thing is that I can live happily with Aldo." Mara affixed her signature to the letter as the first party.
Soon Arthur passed in front of him.
" Bang." Call Mara to stop Arthur's move.
" I've signed it, you stay." Mara approached Arthur.
" Sign now so I can marry Aldo as soon as possible." Mara gave the letter.
" Before I sign it, you'll have to look at the evidence I brought." Said Arthur.
" What evidence?" Mara looked at Arthur.
" The evidence of Aldo's crimes to Mr. Adi, now we'll be the same see who Aldo really is."
How did Mara react after seeing everything? Find the answer in the next chapter.

Miss U All's...
