Grace closed her eyes as if she were asleep, yet she had so many questions she could not ask her husband.
" why is he still keeping our marriage status a secret."
" is it possible that I'm that bad in her eyes?"
" is he ashamed because I'm just an ex-con"
" why did he marry me?"
" what exactly is his purpose."
" don't he marry me just for a mistress."
" it could have happened, because Waty told me earlier that the director was married."
The more Grace thought about it the more she was annoyed to see the man next to her, but suddenly Roy's figure crossed her mind.
" don't change Roy's attitude has anything to do with him" Grace said
Grace saw that their car had arrived in the city where they were living.
" sir can I get down here?" said Grace
" why come down here?? your house is not here" the director said
" there's someone I have to meet" Grace said
" who???" said the director
" sir please give me a little privacy, father is not who I have to report any of my activities to father" Grace said with annoyance
" Grace what's wrong with you?? why are you suddenly mad at me" said the Director
" i'm sorry sir, but can you put me down here?" said Grace
" all right" said the director and ordered the driver to stop.
after their car stopped, Grace went downstairs and picked up her belongings and the director's car left Grace.
with a feeling of annoyance and anger Grace looked at the departure of the car, until the car disappeared from her view.
After that Grace boarded a Taxi to the Restaurant she had visited before along with her husband.
Now that Grace has arrived at the Restaurant, she ordered drinks first and not long ago now her waiter came to bring her order.
" please drink Ma'am" said the waiter
" thank you, can I ask you a favor?" said Grace
" what are you asking for help?" said the waiter
" is there a worker here named Roy?" said Grace
" Roy?? oh... yes there is mbak, what's wrong with her?" said the waiter
" can you call her for me?" said Grace
" ooh... Then wait a minute, I'll call him" said the waiter, leaving Grace
Not long after, Roy came to see Grace.
" It turns out you, sorry I don't have time" said Roy immediately left Grace
" please wait a minute" Grace said, pulling Roy's hand
" Grace please don't bother me, I've got a lot of work to do" Roy said
" Roy I promise, I won't bother you after this, but please let's talk for a while" Grace said
" Well, what else should we talk about?? there is no more between us" Roy said
" at least give me an explanation" Grace said in tears
Roy who saw Grace let out his tears finally he did not have the heart.
" Grace.I beg you not to cry" said Roy.
but Grace cries even more to see Roy who still hasn't changed.
Roy couldn't bear to see Grace cry like that.
" let's talk, but not here" Roy said.
" then where??" said Grace
" let's come with me" said Roy
Grace walks after Roy and does not forget to bring his suitcase, Roy sees Grace carrying the suitcase he finally takes over Grace's suitcase.
" Grace...why are you carrying this suitcase? did you run away from home??" said Roy
" no. This is me just coming home from out of town, the company I work for is having a vacation" Grace said
" ooh.." said Roy.
Roy takes Grace to a nearby park where Roy works.
" what do you want to talk about Grace!" said Roy
" i'm sorry Grace, I'm doing this because it's best for you" Roy said
" best??? tell me who's behind all this? you ended our relationship unilaterally, ." Grace said in tears
" i'm sorry Grace, it's all my fault" Roy said
" what's wrong??? does it have anything to do with the guy who took me to Restaurant that day??" said Grace
" no. I don't know him" said Roy.
" why then are you saying that you don't know me in front of him?" said Grace
" who is Grace??" said Roy
" do you really not know him??" said Grace
" no. I'm not familiar with him" said Roy.
" then why didn't you ever see me when I was in prison??" said Grace
" i'm sorry Grace, but it's best for you" Roy said
" best what?? at least tell me why" Grace said
" because I don't want you in jail forever, I want you to be free, that's why I have to let you go" Roy said
" what do you mean I want to be free" Grace said
" the one who framed you was my own uncle, he did that because I refused to marry his daughter"
" he set you up with the intention that we would never be together and I'm sorry to have ended our relationship unilaterally."
" my uncle gave me a choice, if I'm willing to leave you and marry his daughter then he'll release you from prison" Roy said
" then what are you doing" Grace said
" i'm sorry Grace, I had to obey my uncle's request to marry his daughter to get you out of that prison" Roy said
" do you mean you're married now??" said Grace
" my marriage isn't what you'd imagine, I don't love my wife the least"
" i promise, when the time comes I'll repay them."
" i'm just asking you Grace, please be patient, after I reply to them I'll come back to you Grace" Roy said
" but the one thing you know Roy, who released me from prison, is not your marriage or your uncle's" Grace said
" what do you mean Grace?? then why are you free??" said Roy
" i was released by my own husband" Grace said
" what??? husband???" roy said in surprise, he did not expect that Grace was married.
" yes, my husband and my marriage" Grace said.
" how could this mean, I don't understand at all" Roy said.
" if you don't understand then you ask your uncle" Grace said
" when are you free??" said Roy
" two months ago" Grace said
" what??? it means they've been tricking me all this time" Roy said
" what do you mean??" said Grace
" i got married after three months you went to jail. If you were released just two months ago, that means he reneged on our agreement."
" no.. I don't accept this, I'll make a calculation with my uncle."
" Grace you have patience, after this there will be no more separating us" Roy said
" what are you going to do??" said Grace
" i'll avenge them after that I'll marry you" Roy said
" Roy. I'm married" Grace said.
" i'm sure you didn't have a choice at the time, you were forced to marry her for your own freedom but behind it all, you didn't love your husband Grace" Roy said
" it's true that I accepted the marriage because of the freedom I wanted, but you're wrong to say that I don't love my husband. The fact is that I love my husband Roy" Grace said
" how could you love her, you lied Grace.I know you, you can't be that easy to fall in love with someone else."
" tell me Grace that you still love me, tell Grace" said Roy in tears and holding Grace's hands
" i'm sorry Roy, let's both forget. All this time I asked inside me why you changed, and I just wanted a direct answer from you."
" now I understand the reason for your change of attitude, and I will keep my promise from now on I will never see you again and thank you very much for your sacrifice" Grace said
after Grace says that she leaves Roy.
" Grace... wait for Grace .. You can't leave me like this" Roy said, trying to prevent Grace's departure, but she left.
" akh.." said Roy, screaming in frustration.
