Be Mine
Attention of Arthur

Arthur glanced at his best friend. "No need because the most important thing now, I should be able to make Kiara want to stay with me. She's my wife after all and I'll protect her."

"I told you to force it. Use your powers as a husband, but don't force him in bed, Arthur. The huft! He's afraid he'll be traumatized again."

"If it's about that, I won't force it, Gio. However, the trauma of it must still be on Kiara and I don't want to remind her of it anymore."

"Then you also have to be patient if you want it." Gio smiled as if laughing at Arthur.

"I don't think about it much now." Arthur finished his drink and left.

The next morning, Kiara usually goes to school with Arthur. Arthur sees Kiara's eyes are a bit puffy and he knows why Kiara's eyes are like that.

"Why are your eyes? Didn't you sleep well last night?"

"We just go to school, I don't want to talk about anything, Arthur." Kiara leaned back on her chair and looked out the window.

Arthur did not want to bother his wife who looked bad. Arthur focused on driving until his car stopped where it used to be.

"Ki-." Arthur stopped when he saw his wife was apparently asleep by leaning on a chair in the car.

Arthur brought his face closer and saw Kiara's sleeping face. "Shall I wake up or should I just take her out of here?" Arthur seemed to think for a moment while continuing to look at Kiara's face.

Arthur finally decides to wake Kiara up because he knows Kiara must not want to skip school.

Kiara seemed to blink both eyes and was rather shocked to see the face of the man who was her husband.

"Arthur, have we reached school yet?" Kiara circulated her gaze looking outside the window.

"Yes, we've arrived. Do you want to go to school or do we just go home?"

Kiara looks silent looking at the bead of Arthur's eyes because Arthur's current position is close to Ara's face, even Arthur's index finger is playing a strand of Kiara's hair.

"I'm in school." Kiara quickly removed her seatbelt and pulled Arthur's hand to kiss and immediately got out of the car.

Arthur smiled slightly at his wife's behavior. "Huf! It's gonna be really hard to make you understand all this, Ara. Why should I get involved in this feeling?" The man's car went from there.

Kiara walked towards her class with a confused face while holding her lips. "So, did Arthur kiss me again? Why do I feel like someone kisses my lips while sleeping?"

"Kiara, you just came? Why don't I see Arthur's car? Aren't you picked up by him?"

"Mega, you just surprised me."

"What are you daydreaming about? Uh, wait!" Mega held onto Kiara's arms to stop her best friend's move.

"What's up, anyway?"

"You cried all night? That's why do the eyes look so swollen?"

"Oh this! I'm okay?"

"Don't say it's okay. Are you crying because you miss your mother or because of the Eagle?"

Kiara seemed silent for a moment. "I'll tell you what happened last night with me." Kiara took her best friend's hand to get into their class.

The lesson starts well until finally the break reads. Mega quickly heads to Kiara's desk to collect the story that Kiara had promised her.

"He's kind of disgusted at me because I'm not equal to him."

"My mom is actually that person. Eat it, she fits Aunt Kella, but my mom doesn't limit me to being friends with anyone, just a boyfriend might be like Aunt Kella." Mega blushed her lips.

"You deserve a nice, rich, well-established man and he certainly loves you."

Mega glanced at Kiara. "When did I find him?"

***

Kiara's mother's recitation is over. It didn't feel like Kiara's mother left her daughter for almost a week. Kiara was in her room, and she was cleaning up her mother's things that were still not neat. He will keep it well as memories that Kiara will forever keep like her father's belongings.

"Mom, pray Kiara can face the test tomorrow well, huh? I miss my mom, I usually wake Kiara up every morning to study before school." The girl's tears drip slowly while hugging her mother's photo.

Tok .. tok .

The door of Kiara's house was knocked by someone and it made Kiara stunned from her daydream.

"Who's coming in these nights? Can't he come tomorrow?"

Kiara moved out of her place and towards the main door of her house. Kiara as usual before opening the door she saw from the window who was knocking on her door.

"Arthur's? What's the matter with him here?"

"Open the door, Kiara" said Arthur, who saw the girl peeking out of the window. Kiara inevitably opens the door and tells Arthur to come in.

"What are you doing here nights like this?"

"I brought you your favorite fried rice." Arthur gives a plastic wrap that turns out to contain two packs of fried rice to Kiara.

"I'm not hungry, after all I just love fried rice where I used to buy."

"This I bought there."

"What's? You buy there? Didn't you wait long?"

"I was in line, but only for a moment" he said as if there was something he wanted to hide.

Obviously the queue was for a while, the person in front of him he offered money so that he would come first and the fried rice he bought was the price he paid double the normal price.

"Why are you bothering yourself like that? I never asked you to do that, Arthur."

"Later to praise me. I'm hungry because I haven't eaten, I have a lot of work in my office today." Arthur sat on Kiara's sofa and she looked completely tired, visible from her face.

Kiara who was still standing there just fell silent looking at Arthur. "If you're tired, why come here? You just go home and sleep in your house."

Arthur looked at Kiara. "I want to eat with you because at home too I have no one to accompany. Anyway you're home alone and I'm worried about you."

"I'm doing fine. Anyway I was like this when my mom went to my neighbor's brother's house to work on cooking and I wasn't afraid."

"Mba Tami told me to take care of you as long as she goes to her village of Banni for a few days. It's different, Kiara."

"There's nothing different, Arthur. After we split up, I'll also go through it all myself and I convince myself to be ready for all this."
