The more Hate, the more Love
For Love

Arjuna knocked on Zea's office door.

"Come in" replied Zea.

Arjuna opened the door after being invited in by Zea. "This is Ma'am" he said, laying out Zea's files he had brought from the meeting room.

"Thank you, yes" Zea said as she put her wallet in her bag and turned off the computer. 

Arjuna still stood looking at the woman before him who looked busy himself even as if he did not care about the existence of Arjuna. Unlike other women who always caper when near Arjuna especially if you know who Arjuna.

Zea was different, she was indifferent or indeed hid her feelings. 

"You want to go home?" 

"Oh, no. I'm going to the hospital, hopefully this can be removed," Zea replied while watching her finger still wrapped in bandages. 

"I'll drop you off, wait a minute." 

"Eh, no Jun." 

But Zea's refusal did not seem to be heard by Arjuna who had already darted out of the room, and was already in the pantry. Take off the OB uniform he was wearing and replace it with the shirt he was wearing this morning. Lining with a jacket, Ucup who had also changed his costume looked strangely at Arjuna. 

"Where are you going, anyway? Very rushed, usually relaxing kayaking on the beach." 

"It's an important cup, a matter of life and death," replied Arjuna. 

"Halahhh, serem. Who lives and who dies?" 

"As far as you go, I unplug it. Don't go home tonight, you'll be chased by demons." 

"Setane koe" cried Ucup.  

Zea was already standing in front of her room waiting for Arjuna. "Juna, I can go alone." 

"Udah, let's go down" Arjuna asked. 

The two walked to the elevator and exited in the basement. "Juna, I don't have a car." 

"I know." 

"Then, what are we here for?" 

"Get my bike." 

"Bahh." Zea is grateful that she is wearing a trouser suit today so don't worry about having to ride on Arjuna's bike.

“Can't?” asked Arjuna who had hung on the motorbike but Zea was still staring at the two-wheeled vehicle.

“Ngot understanding how it went up,” replied Zea tidying up

Arjuna took off the helmet he was wearing, then directed Zea how to ride his bike. Zea followed Arjuna's direction, crossed his bag and touched the man's left shoulder and set his left foot on the bustep and stepped over the bike to sit down.

“Already?”

 “Already, but it doesn't matter if I don't wear a helmet?”

“Danger anyway, but I way way rat deh.”

Zea waited for Arjuna to turn on his motorbike, even had time to bend his head to the side of Arjuna's body. “Why not go yet?”

“Handle dong.”

Zea holds a jacket worn by Arjuna. Arjuna clucked and pulled Zea's left hand to hold onto her stomach. Zea had screeched but then fell silent when Arjuna had turned on the engine of the motor.

Fortunately, almost all employees have left the office, live cleaners and security who saw Zea was piggybacked by Arjuna and hope there are no issues related to the moment.

Already arrived at the hospital, both of them headed straight for the ER. The bandage in Zea's hand was opened by one of the nurses on duty and the stitches were removed according to the doctor's orders.

“You can get water, but don't get dirty. Good to keep dry.”

“Good, Doc.”

Zea exited the ER, Arjuna immediately approached. “It's done?”

“Let me just.” Arjuna took the paper in Zea's hands.

“Eh, Juna ...”

But Arjuna left Zea for the cashier. Not long after he returned to show the payment note and took Zea home.

“You go straight home or where did you go?”

“Hm, I'm going home. If you're busy I can go home by myself, take a taxi. What is your account number, I will transfer the money earlier and earlier.”

Arjuna just stared at Zea while wearing his helmet. “Fine,” Arjuna's word.

“But, Juna .. I don't want to trouble you.”

“Ck, up or want me to ride?”

“Your sentences are ambiguous, people can be mistaken.”

Arjuna drove his motorbike to Zea's apartment and stopped by the side of the road where there were many tent stalls.

“Why stop?”

“I'm hungry, aren't you hungry?”

“Iya, but ..”

“Not usually eat in this place?”

“Whose word, I never picky place as long as clean, halal and hygienic,” said Zea then get off the motor and into one of the tents. Arjuna smiled, not expecting that Zea was not a spoiled woman and could eat on the fifth leg.

Finished finishing the menu of each choice, Arjuna shifted the occupied plastic chair further back from its current position, then lit a cigarette and smoked it. Noticing Zea who was focusing on staring at her phone screen.

In his mind, Arjuna wondered why he was so close to Zea and helped her so much. He sighed softly, threw away the cigarette butts that were still half and stepped on them.

“Bu Zea, come,” invite Arjuna.

...***...

“What is the condition of Papi?” ask Arjuna. Just arrived at the hospital to meet Leo who had sent a message that Abraham had a heart attack. Arjuna reads Leo's message as he arrives at his apartment, rushing straight to the hospital.

“It's stable,” replied Leo.

The two looked at Abraham who was in the room where many medical devices were attached to the man's body. After a long time of Abraham's care, this was the second time Arjuna set foot to visit Abraham. The two do have a disharmonious relationship, but that does not mean Arjuna does not care. Always ask Leo for his Papi's condition and make sure Abraham gets the best treatment.

“From where the hell, long time very response.” Leo sat in one of the waiting chairs, still wearing his work suit today. Just taking off his suit and tie, even his shirt arm had been rolled up to his elbow.

Arjuna, who was sitting on an empty chair, did not answer Leo's question, preferring to fold his hands to his chest and look forward.

“Same time Zea ‘kan?”

Arjuna took his breath hearing Leo's question again. From Arjuna's response, Leo knew that Arjuna had just been with Zea.

“Be careful, fall in love later. There is a song, I am Arjuna who is looking for love,” Leo said while humming.

“Shittt, Leo. I'm not much in love with Zea.”

“Or this, this is my love where your love,” taunt Leo again.

“One more time you talk, do not blame me if one of your teeth date hit my bogem,” threatened Arjuna.

Leo just chuckled, then both of them just kept quiet.

“Na na na na na na na na na na.” Leo again hummed Arjuna looking for love just changing the lyrics.

Arjuna glared and even stood up, Leo moved from his seat, “Sorry, just kidding. I need coffee,” he said with a chuckle then left Arjuna then whistled the same hum.

Arjuna sat back down and brushed his hair, “Argh, what's wrong with me. It's all because of him, I'm being weird like this.”
