Why We Married?

The Truth Behind Pain

"Ruana conspired with him to harm big brother!!"

I held my own chest because it was tight, my face was dark and my body was heavy. But the symptoms of such shock were nothing compared to the pain of my suffering after hearing this confession.

"Who?" I took a slow breath, trying to keep my emotions from collapsing at the last moment. "Who is he?"

Once again Ruana blinked her eyes firmly until the wrinkles on her eyelids were visible, too late for her to dodge, because she and also my nightmares would walk the same path.

He reached into his cell phone, then with trembling hands gave it to me.

Ruana showed me a short message from the sender named 'D'. And in that message, it contained threats and also things that Ruana had to do to harm me.

My hands trembled, as I read the contents of that short message, which actually contained the order to eliminate me. It turned out that it was Ruana who dragged me into the middle of the ocean, someone had planned this action and had secretly prepared the swimming glasses into her room.

I looked at Ruana by clutching my own mouth. While he lowered his gaze with red eyes as it held back tears.

But I was fixated on the contents of the next short message, regarding the order to damage my diving equipment. But it did not happen, and instead he himself drowned because of his broken equipment.

"So because of that, you're fiddling with my diving gear." I looked at him in the direction.

He did not dare to raise his head.

"But since I caught you, you're wearing the broken equipment yourself!!"

He did not answer, his fingers were shaking.

I stood up and wanted to tell Archie immediately about all this, but again Ruana immediately held me back and told me not to rashly expose this.

"Although Ruana said she knew the culprit, but Ruana never met her in person. He only communicates with Ruana through a short message, and if Ruana does not do what he tells her to do, Ruana will suffer. Ruana won't come back to Sabiru." His words were on both my legs.

"You mean, everything you're doing, it has nothing to do with Sabiru." Was I wrong again for thinking he was Sabiru's accomplice.

Ruana shakes. "Sabiru released me on the guarantee that I must obey everything ordered by someone with the initials 'D', if I refute. He's gonna put me back in Sabiru's place again."

What kind of person threatens a woman with something like this. This is no different than treating Ruana as an item, which if it is no longer useful will be returned to the place of origin.

"Abis where are you?" Arya asked to intercept me. "Children noisily, gegara lu ngilang. The fish's burning charred."

I did not answer and looked in the same direction.

"His?" Arya shook her hand in front of my face.

I don't want to discuss anything with anyone right now, all I need is a moment of calm.

"Pinjem Mobile dong!!" My vow.

"Where is your phone?" He said while giving his cell phone to me.

"Lost at the resort." My answer.

"Yes, I can forget." I replied while fiddling with his cell phone. "I'm going back!!"

But I didn't notice the details that were so obvious. At that time, I entered the mobile number of someone who initialed 'D' and right in the name of the contact was actually written the name 'D'. And at that moment I unconsciously called the owner himself in his own mobile phone.

DEG...

Prang.prang...

My eating utensils spontaneously slipped out of my grasp, for some reason suddenly my finger went limp.

"Pay Long Tse!!" I said quietly and looked at Archie who was still continuing to continue his breakfast.

The man in front of me also fell silent and stared straight at Archie who was still continuing his breakfast without a single sound. Archie ate quietly, much like a royal prince with a high attitude that put caste before him.

Me and the man were just spectators.

"How's uncle doing!?" Asked Archie after finishing his breakfast and put his food utensils neatly on the edge of his plate. "When did my uncle rise from the dead? Then why did uncle come here, does this have anything to do with me." For the first time in my life, I watched Archie Yuaga use the word 'me' in conversation.

The person called uncle by him did not make a sound, he stared fixedly at Archie's face like he put his own thoughts.

"What a shocked uncle, because I knew right away that uncle was Paisee!!" Archie smiled plainly.

Paisee was Pay Long Tse's nickname when she was young, all her friends and relatives called her by that call.

Paisee did not answer, her face looked grim.

"Tu-wait, wait!!" I'm fooled, "Pay Long Tse. Archie, what does this mean, why are you calling this guy.."

"Yes, he is that famous fugitive, Pay Long Tse. He was my uncle, a close friend of my father, and someone I had been very disinclined with all my life." Didn't I hear wrong.

Hearing Archie's words, Paisee lifted her head and stared intently at Archie.

"Uncle must not have expected me to know so quickly about the presence of uncle, but the unchangeable treatment of uncle, I will never forget my whole life." Archie.

Paisee remained silent, she did not even show any signs of replying to Archie's words.

"Delivery?" I was curious, and looked at the two of them looking at each other.

Archie filled up a full glass of milk in the box, and then presented it to Paisee, "Nobody knows but Paisee's uncle that I like almond milk."

Then he also took the plain bread and then bit it. "When I was a kid, I remember Paisee's uncle always bringing bread like this to visit." Archie ate the food and stared at Paisee without blinking. " Righten uncle, do you think I've forgotten all the things that uncle gave me!"

"Hmmmpph...!!"

Suddenly Paisee smiled faintly, she turned her face away and pretended to hide those feelings.
