MARRY MY LOVER'S BEST FRIEND
CHAPTER 69

Arka lay in the room as if she did not care about my presence. Hands and eyes closed and ears covered with earphones. This is how Arka crushes? Not wanting to care and close yourself from the surroundings, close your eyes and close your ears. How can all be discussed? Honestly I was also confused, just this time Arka behaved like this. Usually he is always impressed to be able to understand me and calm in dealing with all situations. I then sat down at the end of the bed hoping that she would come to her senses with my presence but it seemed nil.

"See it or not, I'd like to apologize if I'm wrong. But I really want to go through it all with you" I said, looking down.

"I don't like you covering up your feelings. It's like you don't care about the clouds. But your face brightened when you told me about him. That's hypocritical!" arka said with eyes still closed and earphones still in the ear.

"I think there's something to say and something to keep to myself" I said in self-defense.

"But when I fuck you, it must be the shadow of the Clouds present when your eyes are closed" said Arka who seemed to slap me.

"If you want to be jealous please, but do not make a story that does not have facts," I said began to protest.

"What you know is that it's hard to prove someone's feelings" said Arka, who was sitting next to me.

"So I secretly went to the Clouds when I fell asleep" I said, trying to keep up with the conversation.

"But I went to fight for you yank, hoping he didn't bother us anymore. And you pretended to be friendly in front of him, so I'm sure you're done? Oh, and the incident in the strawberry garden must you enjoy it huh? And when you know I'm there, then you're playing victim?" accuse Arka.

I didn't expect Arka to be so prejudiced by me to that extent. Though he himself asked me not to hate the Clouds but now he even had such ridiculous thoughts. I began to be unable to think, my head felt too full, all like a roller coaster that compensated for the ambush. I stood up and prepared to leave Arka alone.

"Keep it like that, you leave behind every problem you should face. You hung all up without a solution" Arka's successful words stopped me.

"What does she want? How am I supposed to do?" my question started to go wrong.

"I just you want to be honest, if you still love Awan, tell me frankly," Arka urged me.

"Yes, I still love Awan, I still love him very much. I miss wanting to be spoiled in his arms. But I have to try to keep my pride as someone's wife. I have to leave everything behind because I want to go all out with you. I want to try to live with you, so a good wife for you, I just need a chance and a good time, ma'am!" I screamed while crying tears

I sat on the floor, tired and not strong enough to hold the body full of problems. We heard footsteps running to our room. Ms. Gendis then walked in and grabbed me and let me cry in her arms.

"Dik, what do you love?" asked Bu Gendis while glaring towards Arka.

"I'm sorry Kas, if you're not gini, you won't be pushed gini, you'll never want to be frank with me" Arka said.

Arka then sat down in front of me, letting go of Bu Gendis' embrace and hugging me very tightly. He said that he pretended to sulk so I could open up to him. He just wanted me to be honest with him. Sometimes he kissed the top of my head and kept trying to calm me down.

My head feels dizzy, probably because of the influence of the moon coming and crying all day. I still keep sour turmeric in the fridge. I'd better drink it first so it can reduce stomach cramps.

"Mama told me, Love loves another man, but papa kept pressing," she heard the voice of mama half-whispering at the dinner table.

"Papa just don't want Arka like Aditya, married to someone is not clear. We also do not mean, Love himself decided to agree with this marriage" Mr. Surya denied his wife.

"It's not clear how, his wife is just an outsider. Naturally dong, papa and Adit are often abroad," continued Bu Gendis.

If last afternoon Arka eavesdropped on my conversation with mother, this time it was my turn to eavesdrop on the three of them. Not that they want revenge just this is an opportunity and not intend to be presumptuous but curious because they discuss about me.

Aditya is the older brother of Arka who is now abroad, precisely in Malaysia. His wife Fiona, Peranakan Malay-Chinese who do not know at all with Javanese customs and culture and that makes Pak Surya unhappy is only because since they were married, they have never once returned home, they have never returned home, in fact, they also married in Malaysia without the presence of Pak Surya and Bu Gendis even what his two grandchildren are currently they do not know. They were only in touch through cell phones, and Mr. Surya even refused to communicate with Mas Adit and his small family. Just like the father who refused to call me when we had a problem. The ego and prestige of the elderly.

Why was I chosen to be the daughter-in-law of this family? Because I come from the same village, and the father is a friend of Mr. Surya. I also work in the city where Pak Surya's business is run. We finally chose to stay here. But according to Mr. Surya there is no problem at all because we are still in the scope of their family.

"Papa has said, sister do not be too urgent Love, slowly you must be patient to seize his heart," said Mr. Surya to Arka.

"Papa Sama does not understand the core of the problem. Udayah, Arka sure, Arka can solve all this," said Arka steady.

"You don't want things you can't wait for, you finally split up. Honestly, mama is equally fond of you, " said Ms. Gendis

"It will not be separate ma, until death separates," said Arka again and his parents were silent.

The atmosphere became silent, it seemed like they were done. I rushed back to my room and pretended to be asleep. True to my guess, not long later, Arka's voice came into the room and accompanied by the sound of the door being locked.

"Yank" Arka's voice called me right in my ear but I kept pretending to be asleep.

"I'm sorry it was noon. I just want to make sure your heart is filled. It's okay if your love is still for the Clouds. I just don't want you to feel burdened and unhappy with this marriage" Arka said, then peeked at me.

"Oh yes I know, you were eavesdropping on our conversation at the dinner table, you want to grab some herbs right? That's what I brought, I put it on the nightstand," said Arka who made me like a burrow that was caught red-handed.

"Quick drink the clock, abis drink herbal medicine you immediately sleep really, do not pretend like gini, lack of sleep is not good for health," continued Arka who made my mouth agape.

Malunya ask for forgiveness, this I continue to pretend to sleep or continue to sleep really, huh? Though I really want to drink jamu or I open all because it has already been discovered?
