"I'm tired of you! Why are you here?... Just entertain him and everything will be fine...!."
Nino approached Arka who was sitting pensively by the lake. He is upset that his best friend often runs away if there is a problem with Sania.
"Look, I'm your best friend, right? I'm happy to bring you a drink so you don't continue to be sad" Nino said again as she sat down and opened the bottle.
"No need, I have this," replied Arka as she sipped the mineral water she brought herself.
Instead of sympathizing, Nino even joked to tease Arka who turned out to mean no more alcohol. He also said what's the point of being a gang leader if you don't drink and play women like him.
"In my heart, I promised Sania not to drink any more alcohol, even if Sania didn't ask for it, I would never drink it again" Arka said in a hurtful tone.
Feeling inexhaustible in his best friend's relationship, Nino also said that Arka and Sania are two people who love and appreciate each other but why they finally have to be like this.
Even Nino felt that not only Sania could not understand Arka, she felt that way. Then Nino said,
"Everyone knows that Sania wanted you to stop and get out of the Eagle gang, but you always ignored her, you volunteered to come out just because of a girl you just met... If I were Sania, then I would feel the same way as I do" explains Nino.
Arka further bent her face when she heard Nino's words that were true. "If it's like this, who wouldn't have thought if you and Santi had nothing to do with it" Nino continued.
Arka does not deny that, but she said that when Santi was kidnapped and when Jack called and threatened her, Arka felt that the woman Jack kidnapped was Sania. Therefore he did not think long and immediately agreed to the terms Jack gave.
Then Arka said again if the most painful thing in the world is regret. Many times he has nightmares and wishes he could save Sania, he would do anything even if he lost his life.
Recalling that moment Sania felt alone and helpless made her even more sick and hurt. Then with all her current decisions, Arka hopes that there will be no other girl who will become a victim like Sania.
Now Arka looks fragile, she cries bitterly because she regrets not being able to protect Sania. Nino felt her best friend's wounds and said, "Arka, you need to calm down.. I'm sure Sania will one day understand, ok?."
"I've messed things up, right now I'm afraid to look Sania in the eye... Hiks...." As strong as Arka, he has a weak side especially regarding the girl he loves very much.
"If I look at him, it makes me seem to keep seeing all the sacrifices he has made for me... I always thought, maybe if Sania wasn't with me then she wouldn't have endured all this suffering... I was afraid of losing him but I was unable to deal with him.... Hix.... "
"Arca... Never mind, don't be like this, you have to be strong."
Nino continued to calm her friend and did not leave Arka so that she was in a better state. After a while Arka felt better, then told Nino to repeat first because he brought his own car.
Feeling sure if Arka is okay, Nino complies and goes home first.
In the morning, Nino rushed to the office early because of one important affair. And upon arriving at the office, he sees Arka sleeping on his study couch and only wakes up when Nino greets him.
"Arka, did you sleep here last night?" asked Nino and so he was busy looking for a file on Arka's desk. "Yes," answered Arka, then noticed Nino who seemed very busy. "Why did you come so early in the morning?" asked Arka. "Lately I always come early because of a lot of business" he replied.
"Did Jack do it again?" he asked. "How not, you're not focusing on taking care of the gang, of course he feels free to act arbitrarily to us, because he doesn't think of me at all" replied Nino.
And one more thing, Arka asked Nino to get his men to buy her a bath, because in a few days Arka will continue to live in the office.
Finally starting that day Arka uses the reason for gang affairs to stay in the office, when the real reason is because he has not been able to face Sania.
For a long time she did not see Sania, and Sania never said anything. Sania pretends nothing is wrong and continues to live her life. But in his small actions he felt his injuries had already reached their limit.
In her solitude, Sania just thought that Arka could be with the girl she did not know? The girl who had managed to grab Arka's attention from him.
Likewise with Santi who had not met Arka for a long time, he thought if Arka deliberately avoided him and imagined that Arka was always with Sania.
Though what actually happened, Arka now does not take care of herself too much. Every day he sleeps curled up on the sofa with his long body and only eats instant noodles. What a sad sight.

The next day...
Keyla was walking towards the office with her face down. Instantly he immediately nagged Arka when he saw her with Nino.
"Rush! Why don't you go home in the old wood?!," asked Keyla with emotion.
Nino tries to prevent Keyla's attitude because they are now in the office, but Keyla remains calm and does not want to stop the action. Then he asked the same thing to Arka.
"Keyla, that's my business and I hope you don't interfere... Shouldn't you be with Santi? Why come here and leave it alone?" said Arka asked.
"I asked why you're ignoring Sania, but why are you talking about Santi?! And why should I be with him? He's been recovering a long time, why don't you drive him back to his hometown?."
Nino tries to calm Keyla down and says that they do not have time to take care of Santi's return. And promised to take care of it soon.
Keyla felt a little calm hearing that because then they would not be disturbed anymore by the existence of Santi. "Then what about Sania?" asked Keyla. "Rush! Say something!," he continued.
Arka felt riled and confused what to say. Then Nino also felt that Keyla's words had a point as well. Arka is not supposed to keep avoiding Sania and she suggests Arka meet with Sania soon.
After thinking for a while, Arka agreed and said that he would come home soon.
But before that, on that very day, Arka went to meet Santi first in his old house to tell him if he would be delivered soon.
