MARRY MY LOVER'S BEST FRIEND
CHAPTER 123

I've been staying home for almost three months since opening. And to this day I don't know the mystery of my husband's disappearance and what he did at the hospital. Since coming home from the hospital until now we have not discussed the problem at all even though a thousand questions still fill my brain. I dare not go anywhere. For work I leave everything to Rayi. I also have an intern who helps me with design. Ella's name, a very passionate and bright central girl who has brilliant ideas that are able to make my boutique expand the market touches the ABG segment. I've committed myself to focus on keeping my pregnancy. Aahva often stuck with me but under the supervision of Mbok Welas because I was not allowed to lift heavy loads so I could not carry them. But Aahva was such a good and submissive child that I didn't have much trouble everything was going normally without any obstacle.

Until arriving one afternoon when Ella came home to show her work and happened to be Arka at home. Ella's eyes could not be separated from Arka with a look that I thought was very sharp. Perhaps she was fascinated by Arka's good looks but her face showed like she was trying to remember something. The slightly uncomfortable me began to rebuke him.

"That's mom's husband? I've seen it before, but where?" ella said as she looked trying to remember.

"Don't pretend, you're fascinated?" I tried to tease him even though in my heart I didn't like Arka to be seen like that.

"Beauty ma'am, but I don't like people's husbands. It's just that his face looks really familiar" Ella said.

Over time Ella's words disturbed my mind. Is it possible that Arka sang back at the cafe like she did before and Ella was a visitor to the cafe? Is it possible lately Arka often go because he returned to his old activities? Maybe he's getting tired of his daily routine and a little stressed out with so much company to manage but it shouldn't be this way. I wouldn't mind if Arka's permission was fine with me, either. Or maybe Arka is not feeling good because when I have to limit my activities she instead seeks her own entertainment. I took a deep breath until Ella suddenly startled me.

"What's La?" I'm a little glaring.

"Yes, I often see the mother's husband in the hospital, the same mothers, maybe the mother-in-law of Bu Kasih," Ella said earnestly.

"No way dong, La. My mother-in-law is in the village. Why do you go to the hospital often? You sick?" manya.

"I'm a nurse, sometimes I send food to mama" said Ella who made me frown even more.

I then took my phone and showed Ella a photo of Bu Gendis and it felt like it was slapped when Ella shook her head signifying that it was not Bu Gendis who was with Arka. She thought the woman was a little slim and pure white. He wears neat clothes and often wears trousers and seems a little formal but relaxed. My head immediately turned to think of who the woman I knew and her features were approaching Ella's description. It feels very familiar with everything that Ella portrays. With my heart racing with the conjecture that popped into my head, I went on to open my Facebook account and showed a photo of Mommy Cloud which was answered with a very confident nod by Ella. My eyes suddenly turned as if I could not believe it.

"Mommy Cloud how are you?" I opened my mouth as we relaxed before going to bed.

"Well, why yank?" reply Arka as if nothing happened.

"Do you know how he is?" my question is to try to urge Arka to acknowledge the truth

"And I see you often, why? You mind?" ask Arka again with a smile that actually melts my heart but I have to be firm.

"At the hospital?" press me again and Arka just kept quiet still with her smile that now a little annoying. "Ngapain mas in the same hospital as him? And I know it's from someone else anyway, there's gotta be something I'm hiding from me, right?" I continued full of emotion.

"Lho's? You never ask," Arka's reply instantly made me lose my words.

What the fuck? What do I want to ask something I don't know? The main topic I don't know about? Why doesn't Arka have the initiative to tell stories without me having to ask? All of this instantly made me feel a little crazy. While breathing in, my tears began to flow down my cheeks and only a look of wonder was on Arka's face.

"Lho, why are you crying yank? You mind if I get close to mommy?" those words actually burned my emotions even more.

"Just think to yourself" I replied, ending our conversation.

I then slept on his back, what was on Arka's mind? Actually I don't mind at all if he's close to Mommy Clouds but why all this time I don't know about it at all. What is their motive of closeness? Is it business? Or for some other business? Or is there a forbidden romance between them? My mind is getting tangled up, why is the last option that always rings in my head? Did Arka go crazy playing with mommy? Or Arka wants to reply with because all this time I've only half-heartedly loved him, saturated Arka when I can already forget the Clouds and already comfortable only with him? Why should I go with Mommy Clouds? Is mommy lonely because these days daddy clouds are often anfal? If so, why isn't he with Awan, his biological son? Why should I be with Arka? The sometimes logical questions sometimes do not mill around in my head and make my chest feel very tight. I endured all the sadness and anger. Usually Arka would hug me from behind but in fact this time she left without a word.
