MARRY MY LOVER'S BEST FRIEND
CHAPTER 32

I insisted on taking Arka to the clinic to check her nose even though she tried hard to resist. Fortunately, nothing happened just an ordinary collision but no cracks or faults. He was given medication to relieve the pain. I breathe a sigh of relief. I didn't expect the process to be like this, Arka was too forthright. But strangely until now he has remained calm. As if all that was no big deal to him. She has just lost her best friend who starts to hate her and thinks she is no good.

"What is your relationship with the Clouds?" I try to open the conversation

"Sometimes, when he'll forgive me, he's just emotional and doesn't understand what's really going on" Arka said.

"So you said you knew me before we met?" I can't help but be curious.

Arka laughed and started telling stories. About three years ago, Ms. Gendis, Arka's mother was dizzy because Arka never wanted to determine the path of her life. Arka did everything she wanted. Although often help Mr. Surya in the company but not infrequently Arka singing in the cafe, sometimes ngamen, sometimes as an online driver, sometimes as a cafe waiter, sometimes as a cleaning service, sometimes as a cleaning service, once upon a time Arka became an OB in his own company. Ms. Gendis argued that if Arka married she could become more responsible and have a purpose in life and be more established. Mr. Surya strongly agreed with his wife's opinion and chose to look for a son-in-law from the village where Pak Surya came from.

Then Mr. Surya met his father, his old friend who had retired and lived in a village that faced the problem of fighting for inheritance. Mr. Surya helped the father until the father managed to reclaim his rights. They then tell stories about their lives ranging from experiences during their separation, work to children. They agreed to marry off their children in order to strengthen their friendship.

Less than two years after the conversation, Arka invited Pak Surya and Bu Gendis back to the village. Arka was very happy to be there going to the rice fields, to the durian gardens, rambutan gardens and raising livestock and wherever Arka went he was always accompanied by Rinto. Then Arka was introduced to the father and informed of the matchmaking plan. Earlier, my father showed me a picture and gave my home address to Arka in the hope that Arka could get to know and approach me.

Arka started to spy on me. At first Arka accompanied by Rinto who happened to accompany Pakde Marto to the city and at that time Arka found me often with the Clouds and Clouds often told me about him so Arka felt no need to continue this matchmaking because he knows the Clouds really like me. The clouds always tell Arka whatever she experiences. Including when Awan intends to bring me to meet his family, but Awan knows that I am actually not ready.

A few weeks before Awan told Arka that he intended to propose to me, Mr. Surya told Arka that their family would propose this year. Arka started trying to reach me to see if I knew about this match.

Until the time Awan brought the news that his proposal was rejected because I had been betrothed and Rinto also told Arka that I had a big fight with my father for refusing the match and choosing Awan. But one thing I do not know, since then my father often hurt because he felt guilty for seizing my happiness. Until the time of his illness began to severe and I happened to return to the village.

"I feel a responsibility to improve your relationship with your father" Arka said.

"Why do you feel guilty?" my many.

"If from a year ago I had met you and told you that we were being betrothed, maybe you and Cloud were getting ready to face this problem. Maybe you can have a good conversation with your father" said Arka with a bright look.

I just kept looking at him. It is impossible for me to blame him like that. Arka also said that she hoped that I would cancel the match and fight with Awan, but she also could not refuse if I finally agreed to everything.

"Why don't you refuse?" I still want to satisfy my curiosity.

"So, what does this mean?" I'm trying to dig out again the way Arka's mind is a little hard for me to understand.

"At times like this he should accompany you, not even busy with his business. He does love you so much but he doesn't know how to look after and protect you" my heart justifies Arka's every word.

"But the business is important, too" I tried to defend Cloud

"He's the CEO, he can delegate tasks to his subordinates, he can monitor from afar. You're important too" said Arka who I think makes sense

I began to ask, where are the Clouds as I struggled against my inner opposition. The cloud never even asked what and how next about this relationship. He just asked me to be patient and be patient. Maybe he didn't know that my father was sick because I was fighting for him. He even lightly 'put' me on Arka without wanting to know I'm comfortable or not. I was looking for Cloud's fault to justify Arka's words. Again I messed up my hair. I started to think about everything again. But never mind, I and Awan are over, I have to focus on what I will do after getting married to Arka.

"Keep you feel that you are the most able to guard and protect me?" I asked while smiling to tease her.

"No, I just feel like I have to make up for my mistakes and restore your happiness" said Arka, who made me fall silent again.

I smiled at myself. This arc is a kind of Rayi in the form of a man. He looks relaxed, likes to joke, as if he has no problems but if dug deeper they have a very mature mind and always have a solution for every problem. Rayi and Arka can very much compensate me who easily panic and difficult to think clearly.

"What do you think Rayi is?" I asked Arka.

"He's kind. That was my game too. I want a uniform order at the factory where you work from Rayi who handles my orders. Where they want to refuse, my company needs a lot and be continuous," one more astounding fact that I know, Rayi suddenly moved departments and given a big project.

"Why do you have to get in touch with Rayi," I asked impatiently

"He's someone very close to you. From him I can tell a lot of stories about you" Arka said with a laugh

Arka then took me home because she wanted to rest. But just as we stepped into the car there was a phone call from Rinto that brought bad news from the village. Arka looked at me and slowly tears fell down her cheeks. What's the matter?
