Arka lowered her head with both elbows resting on her knees to cover her face. Honestly, he was very ashamed of what Susi did to Gerald. He felt very good as a husband, not knowing anything about what his wife had been doing all this time.
Instantly he remembered Susi's sentence as he tried to catch her. Susi says something that makes her curious now. He had to ask Gerald the truth so that he would not think anything.
"Rald .." call Arka as she looks up at the man who is still sitting there with her.
"Yes, Ka. Why?"
Arka felt a little doubt, he also actually did not want to hear what Susi did that was further from Gerald. But if he did not ask, he would be made to die of curiosity.
"Actually between you and Susi, did something further happen that I didn't know about?"
Gerald rubbed his face. "Astaghfirullah, Ka's. Why do you think that?"
"I'm just asking, Rald. You answer yes or no."
"Ka, you don't believe me, hm?"
"Jawab it, Rald. Have you ever served Susi's wishes?"
"Ka! I'm not like that, Ka. Why are you accusing me of that?" exclaim Gerald did not accept.
"I'm not accusing, Rald. Of all the stories you talked about just now, have you never been tempted by Susi in the least? As far as I've heard, Susi's trying to tease you. Giving touch and others."
"Ka! We've been friends for a long time, Ka. I'm so grateful to you that you're on my side. You believe I couldn't have done that with your wife. Why do you doubt and suspect me now?"
"I heard Susi asked you to do something like that that night when I was trying to catch you. Please explain what I meant to have done that night?"
Gerald took a long breath. Arka must have misunderstood. With what he said earlier made him think that something had happened between him and Susi.
"Ka, this is the reason why I decided to leave your house in the morning."
"Because something has happened between you?"
"Ka! Listen to me first!" exclaim Gerald.
"Don't kink, Rald. Please explain right now so that I don't think a no-no to you."
"Okay. Fine. I'll explain to you but you need to calm down, Ka. You should listen without cutting my explanation. Okay!?"
Arka nodded in agreement.
"The night before the morning I decided to leave your house, do you remember me yelling at your name?"
"Yes. And I'm sure it wasn't a snake, was it?"
"Yes. The snake was just an excuse. What really happened was, your wife was already insolent towards me. He tried to tease me because you were asleep that night. He asked me to get in touch like you just thought."
"And happened?" ask Arka.
"Ka! Please don't cut my sentence. I'm trying to explain to you the truth."
Gerald was upset for a long time too.
"All right, go on, Rald."
"OKs. I certainly refused your wife's request. I don't want to ruin our friendship just because of that. Besides, you know for yourself that I'm not that kind of guy. And she purposely undressed in front of my eyes, throwing the clothes in my face. And brazenly put his hand on his chest. What's worse, he touched an important part of my limb."
If you remember that, Gerald was upset again. He felt insulted that night.
"Then, you enjoyed it?"
"Astaghfirullah, I! That's why I'm screaming for your name. That night my body was very stiff. I'm grateful to be able to yell your name and you came. You saved me from your own home. It's up to you now, Ka. You still want to believe me or not."
Gerald got up from his seat intending to get up from there. But soon Arka prevented. Arka hugged Gerald's body quite tightly.
"Rald. I'm sorry, I'm sorry for thinking nothing of you. I'm so grateful to you, thanks to you, I was able to escape from this toxic household. If it was another man, he might have been tempted and served my wife without my knowledge. But I salute you, even though Susi tried to flirt, you can still avoid to maintain the integrity of my household. Thank you, Rald."
Gerald let go of his embrace slowly.
"Yes, Ka. You welcome. I hope you get a better woman than her."
"Yes, Rald. I hope you get a good partner soon too."
"Aamiin's."
Gerald thought of Vienna. Maybe it was time to fight for the woman.
