"Don't be rude to the future husband, Ri." Aksa's eyes widened perfectly to hear Riana's words.
"You lied, didn't you, Riana," said Weak Aksa.
"That's true" answered Arka with a solemn sentence.
Aksa's body weakened instantly. The look in his eyes implied a deep pain.
The presence of Ziva makes Riana pull Arka's hand to stay away from the couple. It still hurts too much to see them both.
Aksa's heart ached even more when she saw Riana and Arka who had gone further away. Moreover, Riana's hands were still at home embracing Arka's arms.
"Darling, I ...."
"Stop calling me that word. It makes me sick!" Aksa passed by leaving Ziva with a face full of anger.
While Riana began to release her hand on Arka's arm when she was in a pretty crowded place.
"Sorry," said Riana.
"Why should I apologize? Aren't you the one who asked me to help you?" Arka looked at the face of Riana who now turned sad.
"I just want to avoid her" Riana explained.
"I know that. I'll always be ready to help you." Riana's smile curled on her lips.
"Originally you want to be my friend. Like our two friendly parents." Riana nodded slowly. Arka smiled happily.
"I will try to heal your wounds and remove your sorrow" Arka said.
Riana and Arka reunite with their parents. Cintya continued to praise Riana's melodious voice. While Rion looked at his daughter with a sad look. She knew, the song that Riana was singing was the scream of her heart.
"Ka, you drive Riana home. Papah and his father Riana want to reminisce first. Mom will go to the Arisan event. The driver picked her up." Arka nodded. Riana looked at her father.
"Don't worry, Arka's a good boy. He'll take you to your boarding house. I promise you, I won't be long." Riana only sighed harshly. He does not want to follow his father's words.
Arka and Riana headed for the parking lot and there was already Aksa who was deliberately waiting for Riana to come out. However, he had to swallow the pill disappointedly. Riana is accompanied by a man who Riana refers to as a prospective husband. Moreover, Riana got into the same car with Arka.
Aksa hit the steering wheel very hard. Angry now he feels. He followed Arka's car from behind. Aksa's mind started to get messed up. Riana's words were still ringing in the ears.
"You can't be with him. No way," he murmured.
Selfishness now dominates Aksa. Her heart ached when she heard that Riana already had a future husband. Aksa tried not to believe.
The car stopped right at Riana's boarding house. The more heart ache Aksa. Seeing the sweet treatment of Arka to Riana. Aksa's heart was getting more and more upset. She was unable to really see scene after scene that Arka and Riana were doing. Arka gently rubbed Riana's hair as well as Riana's smooth cheeks. Aksa chose to leave with all her immeasurable sorrow and devotion.
"Sorry, I have to do this. I saw your ex-lover following us" Arka said after learning Aksa's car was gone.
"It's okay. Thanks, you helped me." Arka just smiled and Riana immediately entered the boarding house.
"You're too precious to be hurt" Arka murmured.
Aksa drives a car without a purpose. Sadness and pain rule his heart now.
"You have heart, Ri. Very hearty," he said. I don't feel Aksa's tears falling.
"My heart hurts, Ri. Very sick," murmured Aksa.
Aksa really transformed into a very fragile man. His charisma disappeared instantly. Aksa looks like a very depressed and desperate man.
That's how Aksa, he was able to bring a smile in front of his colleagues. But when he himself is the real one. Still dissolved in regret, frustration, sadness and also pain. Especially now that Riana already has a husband. Only destruction that Aksa felt.
After being drowned in tears. Aksa continued his journey. Aksa's eyes looked red, narrowed and his face was truly pitiful. Her hair was also messed up.
The car stopped in front of a small hostel. This is where Aksa's heart wants to come. He got out of the car. Trying to strengthen his heart and himself to step towards the boarding house with the door closed tightly.
His hands hesitated to knock. However, his heart forced for Aksa to immediately knock on the door. Meet the inhabitants in it that made Aksa this chaotic. Aksa knocked on the door slowly. He's still staring at the door. I heard the door lock from inside being opened. Aksa's eyes glazed over when she saw the woman she loved so much in front of her eyes. For a moment she looked at Riana with tears that had already been shed.
Aksa's body slid to the floor. She hugged Riana's feet. Making Riana's eyes grow.
"I'm sorry, Ri. I'm sorry." Aksa's voice was shaking. Riana felt something drip down her leg.
"I just love you. I want us to be united," he continued.
Riana could not hold back tears. Moreover, seeing Aksa's body that was very trembling. Aksa's tears kept dripping down Riana's feet.
"I really don't want this marriage. I really don't love her. I had to, I really had to." A whisper was heard in Riana's ears.
Riana is not a cruel woman. He grabbed Aksa's shoulder and asked Aksa to stand up. Riana's heart ached when she saw Aksa's face was so messed up like this.
"I love you, Ri. Love you so much." Aksa stared at Riana's bead of eyes with solemnity, with the remains of tears still falling.
Riana smiled in her tears. His hands began to gently rub Aksa's tears that had already flooded his face.
"Never cry over Ri, again. It's not Ri that you should cry," Riana added in a very soft voice. Her tears were eager to roll back.
"It's not Ri who you should love. Ri, just your past. Now, Brother already has a future, that is the woman who has legitimately become Brother's wife."
"Honestly, Ri's love for Brother is still big. However, Ri does not want to be the woman who ruins the happiness of other women. Let it be, the love Ri has for Brother turned into pain. The pain that Ri will heal. Although it is difficult to do," Riana explained.
Riana now clasped Aksa's hand. Staring at the chocolate bead that looked very sad.
"We really love each other. However, God does not grieve. We cannot force. God is the planner of everything. Follow God's scenario, God must have prepared a beautiful story for both of us. Brother with brother and Ri, with Ri's partner."
"Today, we've finished this story. We forget all the flavors we have. May you be happy with your home, brother." Riana set her foot to kiss Aksa's forehead deeply. Make this farewell as the sweetest farewell to their story. It is undeniable that they are both injured.
After spilling unfortunately in a warm kiss. Riana chose to enter the boarding house. While Aksa was still pecking at that place with tears flowing so fast.
"I love you so much, Ri."
Hearing Aksa's words outside, Riana's body fell to the floor. Crying with her mouth shut so that Aksa would not hear her.
When Aksa was about to leave Riana's boarding house. Cellphone's ringing.
"To Singapore now. There's something Daddy wants to tell you about the will."
