There is a lie between us

episode 12

''I go first, you better not work until it's too late.''

Arumi left the room disappointed. He had hoped that Rendi would immediately drink his homemade coffee and would immediately praise the taste of the coffee.

after Arumi's departure, Rendi smelled the aroma of coffee made by Arumi, Rendi felt the aroma of coffee was not foreign.

''Alex try to breathe the aroma of this coffee!''

''Why is it, sir?''

'' just breathe.''

Alex brought his nose to his coffee cup.

''This aroma, very similar to the coffee made by Miss Sela.'' And then Alex sipped his coffee, too,

''sir, it feels the same way. Just try sir tasting.''

Rendipun immediately sipped his coffee. ''You're right Alex taste this coffee is indeed very similar to Sela's, Alex go rest, I'm sure you must be tired.''

''Well my master excuse me.''

Rendi went into her room.

Arumi was not asleep, she was sitting on the bed reading a book.

''is the work done?'' arumi asked as she saw Rendi enter the room

''Not yet, but I'm tired and want to rest.''

''why do I want a pijitin?''

''no need.'' reject the Joints quickly

''Is there something I want to ask?''

''I asked what mas?''

''Where did you learn to make coffee?''

''why is it not delicious?''

''Just answer.''

''My mother taught him.''

'' you lied?'' said Rendi who did not believe in Arumi's answer

''what does it mean to talk like that?''

''You must be eager to find out about Sela, and imitate her, right? But you heard well Arumi whatever you do to imitate Sela it still will not change anything, because you are not Sela and forever will not be able to be like her.'' rendi's emotions were ignited just like that while talking to Arumi.

''Why are you like this to me what is my fault?''

''It was your mistake to have conspired with my father and mother so that this marriage could take place. And I hate you for that.''

Like in a lightning strike, Arumi's heart felt broken to pieces hearing the word hate that came out of her husband's mouth.

Her tears instantly plunged freely on Arumi's smooth cheeks.

''it's up to you to think, but just so you know I'm a victim here. Your father came to my house and said that you really wanted to have children, while Sela your wife could not give you children. That's why Sela asked you to remarry. And you asked your papa to propose to me with Sela's approval. I foolishly believed all of that and you know why? Because until now I still love you very much.'' Arumi wiped away her tears that just kept flowing.

me, me mas. In front of me you can freely show your affection for Sela, while I let alone in front of Sela when we are just alone wherever you act cold to me. But I promised to hold on, and I'll keep it, because I want to give a child to Sela. This is my promise, you can keep this promise. And about coffee, why the taste of our coffee can be the same. Because my mom taught Sela how to make coffee. Yeah, Sela and I were best friends when we were in high school. At first I didn't know that Sela isrtimu was my best friend. I thought her name was the same, until I saw her picture in your room. It is also what makes me agree to a deal that actually hurt my heart. Now it is up to you who would like it?''

Arumi leaves Rendi who is still pecking in the room.

''Buuk'' the sound of the door slamming resuscitated Rendi from his shock.he did not expect that it turns out that Arumi was also a victim of the selfishness of their parents.

Rendi felt guilty because all this time she had hurt Arumi. Though it is true that if asked who suffers the most, the answer must be Arumi.

The joints sit on the back of the bed. His eyes were on the ceiling of the room. And his mind wandered off somewhere.

After hearing Arumi's explanation Rendi was confused as to how, if she continued their deal it meant that she was cruel to Arumi.

But if he goes through this marriage it means he really betrayed Sela. And if she divorces Arumi now, things will get worse because she signed a letter of agreement with her father.

''Aarg...'' Rendi grabbed her own hair to vent her frustration.

''Oh Allah, why is this so? Why are you giving such a heavy ordeal?''

Arumi went to one of the guest rooms in the house. Indeed their house is classified as very large because it has 3 main rooms and 3 guest rooms.

In the room, Arumi cried as if. ''God, why is my life like this? I have longed to be the wife of Mas Rendi, but why after becoming his wife I actually suffered so much. Is this a punishment for me, O God, for taking my husband from my own friend.''

Arumi cried all night, until she fell asleep.

Rendi, who is haunted by guilt, decides to look for Arumi. In not one by one the door of the main room, but there is absolutely no Arumi.

Where is he, is he sleeping in the guest room?

Rendi headed to the guest room. In instead slowly the guest room door next to Alex's room.

It turns out you're right here.

Rendi came in to Arumi. Arumi looked like she was sleeping curled up like a shrimp. And on her cheeks there were still traces of tears.

Rendi took the blanket from inside the closet, in her blanket Arumi's body to the limit of the neck. Then in his outstretched hand wanted to wipe away the trace of tears on Arumi's cheeks.

But he stopped doing it because he was afraid that Arumi would wake up.

lama Rendi stood beside Arumi's bed. Eventually, Randy returned to his room.

Rendi and Alex are already in the front yard of Rendi's house. Alex is back in Jakarta. ''Alex be careful and please help me to keep Sela as long as I am here.''

''good sir.''

After Alex left, Rendi entered the house, she saw Arumi who was still asleep in her room.

''let him be tired of crying all night.'' Rendi said in a joke .

Rendi went to the kitchen where she intended to make breakfast. Earlier this morning before returning to Jakarta, Rendi had first invited Alex to buy kitchen needs.

''I'll make breakfast as an apology to Arumi. It's best to make fried rice just seems easy.'' said Rendi.

Rendi that is never cooked at all finally issued the mainstay style, namely, ask Mbah gugel.

After fighting for an hour in the kitchen finally became two dishes of fried rice made by Rendi.

Rendi comes back to Arumi, and Arumi is still asleep.

''Arumi woke up, said Rendi as she touched Arumi's hand. Jesus Christ!''
