Sharing Love: Wife To Ardhi

Chapter 21 The Defense of Ardhi

Ardhi tries to hold himself back as Rita's insults continue to fall on Ishana.

Brakk!

Pyars!

Pranks!

"Oh yeah!" Eva was shocked, she immediately hugged Rita.

Various sounds of shards and falling goods jarring from the direction of the dining table. Ardhi's reddened face held back his anger.

The dining table, which had been filled with food, was now empty.

The floor that was clean, now very dirty food and broken glasses and plates scattered everywhere.

"I kept quiet because I respected my mother. But mom still insulted my two wives!"

Ardhi's jaw seemed to harden withstanding all the emotions that continued to burn. "If Risma hadn't asked me to remarry, up to this point only my father and mother would have been hurt."

"I got married, because I obeyed Risma's request, because Risma loved papa and mama. Is this the reward for Risma's steadfastness and sacrifice?"

"There's Eva, because there's Ishana. There's Ishana, because of Risma's request."

"I obeyed Risma's request not because I was afraid of my wife, but I loved her. I did not obey my mother's request, because it is not a sin if I refuse the mother's wish. I want to be faithful, because one of my duties is to take care of my wife's heart and feelings."

"I know, if to die I am obligated to serve my mother, but rejecting your orders is not an iniquity for me, remember my duty is also to love my wife!"

"But all that failed, I didn't love and protect her, I hurt her. Even I not only hurt Risma, but hurt the hearts of 2 other women."

Ardhi looked so depressed, his face looked grateful of destruction. "Over my life, my intentions have been to be loyal to my partner, but what a force, my destiny is so complicated."

"I beg you, stop insulting my wife, I'm an ordinary man, justice is very difficult for me to uphold. Let not mama increase the wounds of my wives' hearts, my injustice has already hurt them greatly."

"Eva, you take care of yourself, need nothing to ask the same waiter in this house."

Eva just nodded her head.

"Ishana, Rishma! you two come with me."

Ishana and Risma are still petrified.

"Hey! Are you Deaf!"

Both of them were aghast at Ardhi's yelling, both of them immediately followed Ardhi.

Rita and Eva are silent. Rita really did not expect Ardhi to dare to behave like this.

"Bi, please clean things up" Eva told the servants.

Rita is still silent. For some reason his ambition left both of his eyes blind, his affection also disappeared just like that. Only fear, anger, worry enveloped his soul.

"What do you want for breakfast, Va? Let mama ask the waiter to prepare again" said Rita.

"Let me just order ma, mama rest first." Eva understands Rita's heart turmoil. "Want me to order something?"

"No need, mommy can do it."

"Yes, I just want to go back to the room" said Eva.

Eva's eyes were fixed on Firliy and Yazmi. "I order milkatu, later if my order comes, take it to my room, yes."

"Yes Miss." answered both.

While Rita returned to her room, making sure Vishnu had taken all the medicine.

"What was that noise? how did it sound here?" ask Vishnu.

"It's just a furore at the dinner table" replied Rita.

"Papa thinks mama's hitting the war drums again."

"Remember mah, let Ardhi guide his own ship, as parents we only need to advise, not set the direction the ship is sailing."

Rita was silent.

"Let Ardhi decide who rides on his ship. If anything harms you, we give you advice and advice."

"Remember mah, advising not judging."

I don't know what happened to Rita, the woman was still at home locking her mouth tightly.

***

Ardhi, Ishana and Risma were in the car that Ardhi was driving, the car continued to split the streets that looked empty.

"Where are we going?" ask Risma.

"Find breakfast." Ardhi's focus is still on the streets in front of him.

"Searching for more, now I have no courage to look at mother's face" complained Risma.

Ishana claps Risma's hand asking her best friend to shut up. When Risma looked at her, Ishana shook her head, a sign of disapproval of Risma's words.

"You're good Na, all day you work, so you won't meet mama, is it me?!"

Ishana gets angry with Risma.

"We sarapa first, kasian kak Ardhi, he has to work." Ishana is trying to change the course of their conversation.

"You guys are the same, right? Don't understand me at all!"

Suddenly Ardhi stepped on the accelerator, until the car drove faster.

"Mas! Would we die together?!" Risma was terrified.

But Ardhi did not pay attention to the words of Risma.

Ishana just shut up and put her seatbelt on. Close his eyes, close what happened.

"Mas!" Risma kept shouting, out of fear.

15 Minutes later the car was speeding up, finally the car slowly lowered its speed, and stopped in a large yard.

"You're afraid to see your mom's face, aren't you? I'll pick you up later in the afternoon."

Risma saw the situation around, it turns out that Ardhi took her to the Orphanage of Mother Aiswa.

"See you later this afternoon."

Risma's current feelings are chaotic, Ardhi's decision to drive her to the Orphanage greatly helps her to calm down. "Thank you, sir." Risma got off the car immediately.

Ishana opened the windshield of the car beside her. "I'm sorry Ris, I'm having lunch today, so I can't keep you here."

Risma only smiled slightly, and stepped her feet towards that 3-story building.

While Ardhi immediately drove his car, he had to go to the office and drive Ishana first.

Halfway through, Ardhi pulled his car over on the side of the road. "Move ahead Na, you're behind by yourself, I don't think I'm your husband, but your driver."

Without comment Ishana immediately went down and re-entered sitting in the front seat beside Ardhi. Slowly the car returned.

"Thank you, sister" said Ishana.

"Don't thank me, I should be the one apologizing to you, all this time I've been so unfair."

"If one day you're angry again, please don't get angry, you're angry with fear."

"You're insulted, how can I shut up."

"But the greatest pain a mother can have when her child snapped at her. Big brother couldn't imagine how sick mother was struggling to give birth to big sister, and now brother was instead snapping at her."

Ardhi was silent. Silence does not fight wrong, acting in defense is wrong. Because the 2 opposite sides are equally valuable to him.

"I'm hungry Na, all this time I've never eaten outside, know where a good breakfast place is?"

"In the Hospital cafeteria, there's a nice breakfast. That's if you want to."

"Well, we have breakfast there."

Ardhi's car entered a special parking lot for Hospital employees. Both of them immediately got off when the car was perfectly parked.

Seeing Ardhi and Ishana walking together, the spies of the Hospital employees were directed towards the two of them.

Now they know, if one of the nurses at this Hospital, is one of the Wives of the Hospital electorate where they work. All this time, they only knew that Ardhi Pramudya had 3 wives, which they knew was only the first wife.
