Archabian
22. The Comfortable House?


Arka stared lazily at her father who was in front of her. Now the Prama family is having dinner together, although Prama's attitude is not as bad as it used to be, but Arka still hates the man. A man who does everything with his heart without thinking of others.


"Say, you're learning, aren't you?" ask Prama about her first child.


"Udah well," replied Gilang with a smile on his lips.


"good. Don't waste your time making things unclear, let alone join the gangs carelessly" Prama said slightly insinuating Arka.


Arka tightened her grip on the spoon, the fork in her hand. This is the reason Arka does not feel at home, a house that he says is the most comfortable place to go home, but not for Arka.


"Arka, what school?" ask Clara.


"Well, bun." replied Arka trying to hold back her anger.


"Next week you will test, so from now on you have to be diligent about learning it," said Clara gave encouragement to Arka.


"Your minimum is ninety-nine, and your school's every classmate activity is definitely not a basketball race, you have to win tomorrow" Prama said. Arka is really tired, he is also a human not a robot. Why does the man want to make himself perfect.


"Arka has not played basketball" answered Arka honestly. He had not played basketball for a long time when he was close to Luna. After all Arka is also tired if required to win, even though every game there must be a loss there is a win, not forever we will be on top of it continue.


"From tomorrow you train with me, and make your test, I'll tell Lolly to teach you. I hope you can be as smart as the girl" Prama said without thinking about Arka's feelings.


"But yah—"


"Enough, Gilang. This time you can't help Arka." cut Prama fast. Gilang always defended Arka, but the guy was considered a pretentious hero. Lagian Arka thought Gilang must be happy because he lived without being arranged by his father.


"Where, Ka?" ask Prama on the Ark.


Arka spent her last bribe, "Dad knows the answer, although Arka nolak it does not make me change my mind right." Arka stood up intending to leave the dining table. "Dad always selfish."


"Yahoo!!!" shouted Prama. His emotions further culminated when he saw Arka neatly with his pride jacket, "No need to go home with you, Arka!!!"


"Mas, it's already." Clara tried to persuade her husband not to get emotional. While Gilang pamit went to his room and continued his study.


Glad to see the night sky through the window of his room. From up here Gilang could see Arka who was about to go on his motorbike, then slowly lost in the street swallow.


"Prophey, Ka. I know you must be strong."


...******...


"Grandma, Arka kangen."


"Bad fuck, grandma."


"If grandma was here, grandma would've done your shit, right,"


Arka told me in front of her grandmother's tombstone. There is a longing that Arka is longing, Mary's grandmother is everything to Arka.


Arka's goal is basecamp, but considering that only his grandmother can understand Arka, the guy stopped by for a while just complaining about the mound.


"Grandmother time away from grandpa how does it feel?"


''What does it feel like to be claustrophobic?"


Suddenly the memory of Luna in the hospital appears on her head. Given the attitude of Luna who tried to stay away from him made Arka want to get angry. Arka did not know what was with him, even though he himself broke off the relationship with Luna at that time, even Arka had snapped at Luna in front of everyone.


"Are you in love again, Grandma?"


For a long time Arka was silent staring at the tombstone, now Arka went to leave her grandmother's last rest, then Arka went somewhere to buy something.


Tok tok tok tok


No answer at all. Arka knocked again, when the third knock finally opened the door and displayed a cute girl in front of him.


"Hi," said Arka.


As the door was about to close again quickly Arka held it back with her feet, "Gue wants to talk for a minute, Lun."


"Get out of my house, Arka." Luna kept pushing the door hoping she could close it.


"Gue wants to apologize to you" Arka told Luna.


"Gue hates you."


"Gue wants to see Rey, Lun." Arka's last words make Luna leave the door open, how did the guy get to know his father? Though Arka was close to him only recently, even then only briefly.


"Lo know my dad?" luna asked confusedly.


"Not exactly familiar, Lun. Your father was the former head of ALTARES in his time, all the children of ALTARES know who Rey is." explained Arka.


Dad, the motorcycle gang leader?


"So I can't come in?" tanya Arka disperse the daydreams of Luna.


Luna sighed resignedly, "Please come in, I call you for a moment."


As Luna was about to climb the stairs to call her father, Arka blocked Luna's hand and gave Luna a snack.


"Make lo, hopefully you like it, '' Luna tried to peek at the krese bag. Turns out it contained some snacks and well, there was yogurt in it too . Luna quickly changed her expression to look ordinary.


"Lo can sit there," Luna pointed at the long sofa in the living room. "Gue wants to call me first."


Luna has been up for a long time but has not yet come down, because of bored Arka look around some photos on display on the wall. There is one photo that caught the attention of Arka. "Funny,"


Arka sees little Luna with a unicorn bando and Lilac color dress. It turns out that Luna likes one-horned animals. "Lo is beautiful from small huh, Na. Your face there is really funny."


The sound of footsteps made Arka return to her seat, she could see Rey coming with Luna beside her.


''Said Luna, you want to meet her. What's up, Ka?" ask Rey to Arka.


"Arka wants to say four eyes, om." said Arka who saw Luna still beside Reyhan.


Luna rolled her eyes lazily, "OK, Luna to the room." But Rey stopped Luna's steps with her words. "Why go to the room? Let's make Arka a drink, Luna."


"Okay, dad." Luna walked back to the kitchen. Why would the guy meet on nights like this, Luna was afraid that Arka would laugh at her because Luna was now wearing unicorn pajamas.


While Luna is busy with kitchen tools, Arka starts her conversation with Rey. "Arka apologize om,"


"I'm sorry for what?" ask Rey confused.


"Arka failed to keep children om, Arka also made children om nangis. Arka has made Luna's heart hurt by snapping her in front of everyone" said Arka filled with regret.


"It's okay, Ka. You have done what you can. Om know this is hard for you, especially you still have the same feelings of old people" said Rey who did know about Arka. Rey also knows that Lolly is Arka's first love.


"But Arka failed to keep Luna in the hospital because of her allergies."


"What?"
