Istikharah
Bickering

"You didn't go back to Calina's apartment?" ask Arini confused. For two days Leon always went home. Those two days were Leon's time with Calina.

"Oh... That's... Calina's coming home." Leon is lying. After all Calina was his legal wife. He will not expose his own wife's disgrace. Even if it was to his other wife.

Arini looked understanding. "Have you had dinner or not? If not, let me prepare some food" said Arini. Leon has just returned from the office. The clock shows at 10 p.m. I'm sorry Leon hasn't had dinner.

"Here you go" replied Leon. "I'm gonna take a shower. My body is all sticky," he continued. He rushed to the bathroom to clean himself up.

Meanwhile, Arini who did not feel suspicious at all, just believe what Leon said earlier. Yeah, Arini was always prejudiced.

Until Leon's phone rings. There is a message notification coming in. And Arini accidentally read the message. But the message cannot be read all, because each Arini and Leon chose a deal not to open the phone to each other.

And the current condition is, Arini accidentally read a message from the incoming notification. So that doesn't include opening Leon's phone, does it? He did not touch the phone at all.

Calina

Sorry Leon, looks like we're going to have to split up. Ak.....

Arini immediately sat down on the side of the bed. What is going on between Leon and Calina? Why would Calina want to split up? Do they have a disagreement?

Arini then picks up her phone and sends a message to Calina. He wanted to know where Calina was now. Just to make sure that the reason Leon said was true or not. Calina's coming home or not. If Calina is still in the same city as them, it's a sign that Calina and Leon are having problems.

Arini

Ca...

Where are you?

Not long in a reply message from Calina.

Calina

In the apartment, Rin.

What was?

Arini

There's nothing.

Can I see you tomorrow?

Calina

Okay.

The time and place we decide for tomorrow morning, huh?

Arini

Okay.

"Who are you chatting with again, honey? Seriously so." Suddenly Leon was standing not far from Arini.

"Eh, you're done. How come I didn't hear the door opening, huh?" Arini put her phone on the nightstand while looking at Leon. "There's a message from Calina" Arini said.

"Have you read this?" leon asked while looking at Arini sharply.

"sorry. I didn't mean it" Arini replied with guilt. Actually Arini wanted to ask more about the matter of Leon and Arini. But he paused when he saw Leon's expression that turned hostile.

Leon again put his phone on the nightstand after replying to a message from Calina.

"I slept first, huh? Hooaamm... I'm so fucking sleepy." Arini then took a sleeping position. He forcefully closed his eyes, not wanting to see Leon's sinister expression.

"Good sleep. Sweet dreams, Arini," said Leon quietly. He came out of the room with his cell phone.

After Leon died, Arini opened her eyes again. Let it be if Leon doesn't want to tell you. Sooner or later Arini will know. Arini sure of that.

Meanwhile, Leon secretly enters Becca's room and sits on the side of the sofa calling Calina.

"What is really on your mind?" leon asked as soon as Calina picked up her phone.

"Sorry Leon. I have to be honest. From the beginning I never loved you. I want to marry you just for Arjuna's status. You know for yourself, don't you, how cute and uncaring I am to you. Want you at Arini's, Becca's or Diana's. Want you with whoever it is. I'm always so cute. It was simply because I didn't ask for any feelings. I can't be jealous of you." Calina talks a lot. And everything Calina said managed to make Leon like he was dropped into a steep ravine.

Be ill.

"So you married me just for that?" Leon's voice had started to rise because of the emotion.

"Yes. We're even Leon. I married you for the sake of Juna's status. whereas you married me just for the sake of se*s, didn't you?" Calina's voice sounded cynical. "You married all your wives just for the sake of se*s, right?"

"Enough, Calina! I'm not like that!" Leon felt extremely angry that Calina was blatantly trampling on his pride.

"Don't be emotional, Leon. If you were a good man, you wouldn't have gotten married again when Arini's belly wound was wet. We're the same, Leon. Same bastard. There's nothing better between us." Calina's voice sounded even more sinister.

Leon breathed his breath out violently. Almost everything Calina said was true. But one thing Calina does not know, Leon has regretted all his actions and promised not to repeat again.

"I knew this wasn't supposed to be talked about over the phone. We should have talked four eyes. But I don't seem to have much time for you. I've been working on getting our divorce done. Thank you for loving Arjuna all this time. Thank you for being my husband, even if you are not a good husband. But I'm still grateful. Because I'm basically not a good wife either, so it's okay to get a bad husband too."

The phone was immediately decided by Calina unilaterally.

Leon was sitting limp on the side of the bed, while the cellphone that had been in hand, had now fallen to the floor.

Meanwhile in her apartment, Calina sat while hugging her knees on the floor of her cold room. He knew his talk was too outrageous. But he had no other choice, he had to make Leon hate him, so that the divorce process could run smoothly.

***

As promised last night, Calina and Arini are currently sitting face to face in a Korean Restaurant in a VIP room.

Arini goes straight to the point asking what happened between Leon and Calina.

"Actually Juna is not Leon's son. I married Leon when I was pregnant with Juna." Calina shamelessly dismantled her disgrace in front of Arini. He knows Arini is not the type who likes to break secrets.

Arini shut her mouth in disbelief. He shook his head strongly. "It must be a lie."

"I'm not lying."

Calina told Arini everything. Starting from his fight with Leon last night. Special gift from Leon a few days ago. About Frans.

Everything he told Arini without anything he covered up.
