Ariel didn't go straight into Bobby's room. About half an hour he still calmed down while playing water by the very clean pool. If it was still daytime, Ariel would definitely plunge into a large pool with clear water.
If Galang come, surely they can have fun in this pool. She loves to swim. If Ariel can invite Galang .. unfortunately, Ariel realized, Galang is not part of this family. Whether Galang will be accepted or not, Ariel herself does not know.
Ariel pulled out her cell phone and called Wawan. Ariel did not talk much with Wawan, as much as possible he reduced communication with his ex-husband. Ariel still keeps the feelings of Om Bobby, her husband. Ariel made a video call just to see her son's face.
Seeing Ariel who was near the pool, Galang wanted to come along and cry. Ariel persuades him and says that he will take her later to swim together. According to what Ariel said. Galang knew that his mother had promised to be kept. Shortly chatting, Ariel asked Galang to sleep because it was late at night. Ariel did not forget to leave Galang to Wawan and promised to pick him up tomorrow before ending their call.
Ariel's heart calmed down a little after talking to Galang. He realized, Galang is the purpose of his life. He must be a strong parent and earn in order to send Galang to be a successful child. By becoming Om Bobby's wife, Ariel's finances will be safe and stable. Ariel can save and finally be able to send Galang to the best school. It's okay if Ariel has to hold back a little of her feelings because it continues to be considered similar to Lisa.
"I'm a strong woman. Great lady. I must be strong in the face of all these trials. Than I continue to be the wife of Mas Wawan, born unhappy mind, still much better like this. At least Om Bobby is better, even though he does not love me completely, he still loves Galang and treats us well. Even though my love only claps one hand, I can definitely be happy in my own way" Ariel said.
Ariel then entered the house after being calm and no longer emotional. He went straight to Bobby's room and opened the door. In the room, Om Bobby was sitting while working with his laptop. Bobby looked at Ariel and smiled. He patted the sofa next to her for Ariel to sit down.
"I want to go to the toilet first" Ariel refused. He went into the bathroom and washed his face to make it look fresh.
There was a different scene in the small cupboard near the sink where Ariel washes her face. Previously there were a lot of facial soap and skincare owned by Lisa neatly arranged but now everything is lost and leaves a lot of empty space. Ariel is more curious, he searches for the presence of soap and skincare owned by Lisa in all corners of the bathroom but he did not find. Ariel went out and asked Bobby.
"Beb, the soap in the bathroom ... Where to?" ariel asked carefully.
Bobby approaches Ariel and hugs her and kisses her forehead. "I'm sorry, Yang. I am indeed the most insensitive man in this world, let alone the same as you. I'm sorry I'm still making this room look like Lisa's still there. I didn't mean to hurt you, it was all just a habit. I still can't accept Lisa's departure because the guilt in me that's so great actually hurt you."
Bobby releases his arms and holds Ariel's shoulders. Their eyes meet each other. Ariel looks at the figure of Om Bobby who looks serious. From the look in his eyes, Om Bobby looks sad and sorry. "I know all this is so painful for you. The pain that I feel should not be the same as you. Enough I feel. I've been living with the shadows of the past and hoping that none of this really happens. I wish Lisa was still there. I wish the accident never existed and I hope we won't lose our future son."
Om Bobby's eyes glazed over as he said it. Ariel couldn't bear to see it. Ariel gently rubbed Om Bobby's face with her hand. "Don't think about me. I'm fine. I don't want you to be sad, Beb," Ariel said softly.
"Don't be too nice to me, honey. I deserve you to be rebuked. What I did to you was so bad. I was just glued to my past. I only thought about my sadness without me realizing that I had hurt you. I made you live in Lisa's shadow. I made you feel Lisa's presence. I can't leave all my past memories behind. I'm evil. I've hurt your heart so much. Don't you have to pity a man like me. You should have cheated on me, you even had to hit me so that I would come to my senses from my stupidity all along. "
"No, Beb, herbal medicine is not wrong. It's natural that you remember everything. Losing someone who is loved is hard. I-i understand. I will try to accept everything. I just ... just a little burning emotion. You know I'm not, I'm Ariel the short wick, very irritable and emotional. I am calm now. I won't be angry anymore. If I get angry again, I promise I won't vent it with you" Ariel said with tears in her eyes.
Bobby grabbed Ariel's hand and kissed her. I don't know why his heart hurt when he heard Ariel say that all this time he was fine when in fact not at all. Ariel's heart aches but she prefers to sacrifice her feelings just to see Bobby happy. "Don't do that to me again. Don't sacrifice your feelings for others. You deserve to be appreciated. You deserve to be respected. You don't have to keep giving up. I have to introspect myself. I am the head of the household. I have a wife I have to take care of her feelings. I'm just too stupid and self-conscious and let all of our past memories keep hurting you,"
"I'm so sorry about you. From now on, I promise to erase all my past memories with Lisa. Maybe it will not be completely lost but I am sure with you all those memories will be replaced with even sweeter memories. Sorry ... I'm really sorry. Please, rebuke me if I'm wrong. Don't keep harboring feelings and hurting yourself. Believe me, you are too valuable, you are too good and I am too lucky to have gotten you. "
