Ratna walked into the house with a smile that never left her lips. Unasked, he sat himself on the sofa in front of Elyas.
" Elyas, why do afternoon tumben come here? Who'd you meet? " Ratna took the initiative to ask.
" I want to meet you, too, sir kades. " replied Elyas flatly.
There was a flowering taste in the corner of Ratna's heart. Is Elyas willing to continue his intentions first? Did he decide to leave his wife? ratna asked in her mind.
" What is it about Elyas? Kok tumben. "says Ratna with heart palpitations.
" Wait on, sir, " answered Elyas.
The atmosphere suddenly quiet. Neither Ratna nor Elyas would open the conversation. Until sir kades also ma'am kades appeared from the inside.
" Son Elyas. "greet mr. kades. Elyas then stood up to greet mr. kades.
" Kok tumben nak Elyas afternoon-afternoon here. "ask the kades while sitting on an empty sofa.

Mr. Kades, Ms. Kades, and also Ratna did not interrupt Elyas' speech.
" I'm sorry, if my intention was to insult Ratna, it must fail. Indeed, all is destiny and the path that God has given me" said Elyas solemnly.
" It's me and Ratna are not a match. I have another soul mate, as well as Ratna. Ratna definitely got a much better soul mate than me" he continued.
" Yes, son Elyas. We understand and understand that. Man can only live the destiny of God. Our family never felt how. We are sincere. " replied Mr. Kades who did look legowo. But not with Ratna. He looks furious.
" And now, I apologize once again to Ratna. " continued Elyas who now faces Ratna. " Sorry, Ratna. We are not fools. "
Ratna looked down deep. His heart feels sore.
" I love my wife. So, I beg of you, please take me seriously, and allow me to live happily with my wife. Never say things that will cause slander. And I beg you, stop trying to ruin my household "pinta Elyas earnestly.

Ratna's tears were dripping in silence.
" I'm sorry, son Elyas. What does that mean? " ask Mrs kades.
" So, sir, kades, ma'am kades. " Elyas turned his attention to the kades sir and the lady of the kades.
" Whether what attitude, or what words Ratna had given to my wife, there was a misunderstanding in our household" answered Elyas.
Ratna is still faithfully bowed. Heart's pounding. He was confused as to what he should behave now.
" Why was it this afternoon when I met you, and I asked you nicely, you said that you haven't seen my wife lately? " ask Elyas with a flat tone of voice. Sharp look. Heart's boiling.
" What have you told my wife, Ratna? " ask Elyas.
Ratna still hasn't budged. Elyas is getting angry.
" Ratna. "call Miss Kades.
" Ratna said nothing, ma'am. We only talk about ordinary things "Ratna replied with a look of fear.
" Don't lie, Ratna" said Elyas. " You ... " Elyas closed his eyes sighing heavily. " You can pit me against Selsa" continued Elyas heavily.
" What do you mean, son? What exactly did Ratna do? " ask Miss Kades worried.
Elyas breathed his heavy breath. He was silent, waiting for Ratna to say something. But Ratna did not let out her voice.
" Why do you have to say something I never told you at all? Because of your actions, my wife left the house with our future child." said Elyas flatly.
" Astaghfirullah Ratna's.... What have you done, son? " ask Ms. Kades surprised.
Tears came down from both corners of Ratna's eyes.
" Mother and father never taught you anything bad" said Ms. Kades.
" I'm sorry" said Ratna. " I'm sorry "he said back with tears in his eyes.
" So you really did something to them, son ? You intentionally want to ruin their household? " this time, Mr. Kades asked.
" Sorry, sir. Forgive Ratna. "said Ratna with a trembling voice. " Ratna just wants to make Elyas happy. Because Ratna loved Elyas very much."
Mr. Kades rubbed his face rough. " What do you mean, Ratna? "
" Elyas does not love his wife, sir. Elyas loves Ratna. So Ratna only helped Elyas so that his wife would leave Elyas. Ratna only wants to help Elyas to get his freedom. Because Ratna was convinced, Elyas could not leave his wife. " Ratna raised her head. He no longer looked down.
" You're wrong, Ratna. I love my wife very much. And I will never leave his wife. Even if he asked for it. Whatever I will do to stay with Selsa. Especially now that there is my baby candidate in her womb ", Elyas said.
" Hix... Hicks ... Hiks .. " Ratna's cries are being heard. " But Ratna loved Elyas very much" he said.
" I'm sorry, Ratna" said Elyas sincerely.
" Ratna, don't be like this, son. " Mum kades grabbed the princess' body that was shaking with tears. He hugged the princess's shoulder.
" Mom has said to you, never love someone more than your love for your creator. Because if that happens, then you will definitely justify all means to get it. And it seems like this is true, right? You have the heart to separate the son of Elyas with his wife and their future children. Son Elyas must be suffering a lot now" said Mrs Kades
" Huhu.... Forgive Ratna, Mom. Forgive Ratna... " Ratna returned her mother's embrace.
" Don't apologize to mom. Apologize to the son of Elyas and his wife whom you have wounded" said the mother.
Ratna looked up a little. " I'm sorry Ratna, mas. Pardon Ratna " said Ratna to Elyas. " Let Ratna apologize and explain everything to Elyas' wife. "
" It's not necessary. I think this recording is enough to make the misunderstanding between us over, " replied Elyas, holding up his phone.
