ARUNGGA (2nd chance )
23. Be late

After being dishonorably fired from a branch of JC, Tantri no longer has a job. Everyday he just sits while contemplating his fate on the porch of the house. Tantri's stepmother who was upset to see her behavior was no longer able to control herself. He hits Tantri and scolds her mercilessly.

"So this is how it was originally Auntie. After I became unemployed and had no income, Auntie was angry with me. Did you forget who gave Auntie more shopping money so that Aunt can take a trip to Bali?!" tantri said annoyedly.

"Hey ... You dare to count me the same now. Don't forget Tan. Who would want to meet a breng*ek woman who likes to disturb Your rich man's husband ?. If it wasn't me who belain You at that time, surely You've died in prison tau ga!" sahut stepmother Tantri no less loud.

Tantri was silent at her stepmother's reply. Tantri also remembered the incident a year ago. Tantri admitted at that time she was upset. He had just dated a wealthy man who claimed to be a widower. But while he was enjoying the company of the man, the man's legal wife came and ran him over. The woman also asked two police officers to arrest her.

Panicked, Tantri contacted her stepmother. He couldn't have contacted his real parents because he didn't want them to be ashamed. And when her stepmother came to the police station, the woman was very surprised. It turns out that the legitimate wife of the man Tantri dated was her friend.

Then there was an agreement between Tantri's stepmother and the woman. The woman was willing to retract a police report from Tantri to return all the money and luxury items her husband had given her. At that time, Tantri agreed. He immediately returned all the luxury items given by the woman's husband. But about the money, Tantri asked for time to return it because it does not have a penny.

"I don't want to know. If you can only return the items given by My Husband, it means that you remain in prison. Well, not long. Two months at most. Consider it to make up for the money that My Husband has given me" said the woman.

The woman's words made Tantri panic. He asked his stepmother for help again. And somehow the woman finally gave her time.

After signing a letter of revocation at the police station, they returned to their homes. But when Tantri is about to get into a Taxi, Tanti's stepmother calls her.

"What's Auntie doing?" ask Tantri.

"What's up ?. You haven't forgotten what I just did for you. Remember Tantri, nothing is free in this world!" said stepmother Tantri while glaring.

"Yes yes I know. Aunty calm down. I'll change Auntie's money later" Tantri said quickly to make the woman smile.

"good. Don't forget the flowers!" stepmother Tantri said as she passed.

Tantri was silent while staring at the back of the stepmother who was away.

Then every month Tantri gave a large amount of money to her stepmother. Tantri's mother, who knew her son had given her honey a lot of money, got angry and kicked Tantri out of the house. Tantri who did not want to tell the reason for giving money to her stepmother could only resign at that time. Having no purpose, Tantri finally comes to her stepmother's house.

Considering Tantri's presence can meet all her needs, Tantri's stepmother also allows Tantri to stay at her home. And for almost a year Tantri lived with him, stepmother Tantri could even enjoy a vacation to Bali with her friends with the money Tantri gave her.

Without Tantri knowing, actually the debt has been paid off in the eighth month he installs. But Tantri's stepmother deliberately lied just because she wanted to take advantage of Tantri.

When Tantri is fired, Tantri's stepmother panics. He felt Tantri would burden his life later. Moreover, Tantri's father had not supported her for a long time because of financial difficulties.

And after a month of unemployed Tantri, the patience of stepmother Tantri was unstoppable. He does not want Tantri to stay with him because Tantri can no longer give him money.

And now Tantri is packing her clothes in the room. He grumbled because he had to leave the house that still belongs to his father.

"Ga need to digress. I'm horrified of what you said!" said Tantri's stepmother from the living room.

"Why Auntie would be like me. This is also my father's house, so I also have the right to live here! tantri said annoyedly.

Angrily Tantri came out of her stepmother's house. He did not want to go back to his mother's house out of fear.

That night Tantri hitchhiked in a taxi and drove around the city aimlessly. On the way Tantri remembered with Haikal. He rushed to Haikal for help.

When arriving in front of Haikal's rented house, Haikal was making out with a woman. Tantri was angry and cursed Haikal. His loud voice made all of Haikal's neighbors come out. Haikal who was embarrassed immediately invited Tantri to go with his motorcycle.

Haikal stopped by the side of the road and told Tantri to come down. But Tantri refused and it made Haikal angry. Arungga who happened to cross the place was surprised to see Tantri and Haikal were having a big fight on the side of the road.

Arungga stopped and pulled the bike over. He intended to break up Haikal and Tantri's quarrel. But Arungga stopped his action when he heard his name called.

"Based breng*ek guy doesn't know himself Lo. After what I gave, it turns out that Lo still dared to betray me. Where is Lo's promise that he said he wanted to be happyin I!" tantri was angry.

"You need to remember me. Ngaca dong, Lo also betrayed Arungga and slept with me. If I'm looking for another girl it's natural because I can't possibly survive just because girls don't have the rich principle of Lo!" sahut Haikal.

The words of Tantri and Haikal startled Arungga. He did not expect that Tantri and Haikal had betrayed him to that extent.

"So you two stabbed me in the back?!" asked Arungga loudly to make Tantri and Haikal surprised and turned to him.

"Arungga!" call Tantri and Haikal together.

"Yes, why?. Shocked?" asked Arungga while approaching them.

"This ... Arunga. This ... You just misunderstood. I'm with Tantri...."

"Ga needs to clear up again Kal. All this time I knew that Lo both had a secret relationship behind Me. I didn't care because I thought it was just for a moment. But since you've come that far, I can't say sorry anymore" Arungga said, causing Haikal and Tantri to panic.

"Wait for Ar, I can explain everything" Tantri said as she tried to grab Arungga's hand.

Arungga brushed off Tantri's hand while shifting away. He shook his head while saying a sentence Tantri never wanted.

"Ga there will be more opportunities for you Tantri. Now or later the same. We're done, broken up," said Arungga as he stared fixedly at Tantri.

After saying that sentence Arungga also stepped towards his motorbike. As Haikal tried to embrace her, Arungga brushed her off. Even Arungga pushed Haikal's body to fall stranded on the sidewalk. Then Arungga started his bike and then drove it at high speed leaving Tantri and Haikal there.

Haikal looks like he's messing with his hair. While Tantri looks fixated staring at the departure of Arungga. Without realizing it, her tears flowed down the river. For some reason at that time Tantri felt her chest throbbing pain. Feels very sick. More sick than when he witnessed Haikal's affair with another woman.

It was an unforgettable night for Tantri. For the first time he realized that he had fallen for Arungga, a man who was a lover but he had never treated like a lover.

With gontai steps Tantri stepped while dragging her suitcase. He ignored Haikal's question. Apparently losing the love that was too late he realized it had managed to destroy the heart and life Tantri.
