ARSHAKA
Pulp

Scrubbing of dusk seemed timidly adorned the sky, showing the time was already afternoon.

Usually I was busy finishing my daily report, but I was still standing in the corridor passageway, looking at the view of the outside area of the office through the glass wall.

The scenery looks very spacious and beautiful if it is looked at like today. With a mood that feels light makes me feel at home for a long time.

Even though the sheets of paper had piled up on my desk. And considering that I left the room because I wanted to go to the coffee shop to buy some coffee cups, but I was standing here with Arshaka.

The man was beside me, so cool to observe the outside area of the office that seemed to be crowded by the crowd of Balinese residents. Either they are busy to travel or immediately go home.

"Before I meet here, where are you going?"

I glanced at Arshaka who was still busy observing the outside area.

"You want coffee. My office friend brought me some food, so I offered to buy me coffee downstairs."

"Then why don't you go downstairs to buy it?" ask her with a plain face.

Arshaka seems to have lost his memory. There hasn't been an hour we've been standing here since weeping together, innocent and sinless he asked me why I didn't go downstairs to get coffee.

"If there wasn't you, I might have been in my room, finishing my daily reports while enjoying my hot coffee and my cookies."

Arshaka's gaze turned to me with a frown.

"So you wronged me because I came to see you so you can't work and enjoy coffee and cake?"

"I didn't say that," as I.

Arshaka sneers. Then he reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone.

"What are you doing?" I asked while watching him typing his phone.

"Message coffee for your coworkers" he explained.

"For what? It's office soon."

"I ordered it,"

I looked at him for a moment.

Then I sighed.

"I'd better get to my office right now. It's afternoon. I'm afraid my friends are looking for me and finding us here."

I turned back, but Arshaka blocked my path.

"Can we stay here in a few minutes?"

I asked, "What's wrong?"

"I still miss you. Very," he answered.

"Later I'll call you. Now I have to go to my room."

Wanting to take a step, my hand was pulled by Arshaka until my body clashed with his chest.

And Arshaka hugged me.

"I still want to be with you,"

I fluttered a little in his arms. I'm afraid if anyone sees us.

"Arsha, loose!"

Instead of coming off, Arshaka tightened his embrace.

"Just like this for a while,"

I did not move away, but rather I pressed my head to lean on his firm shoulder, and I quietly enjoyed the warmth of our embrace.

And Arshaka came along with her head on my shoulder.

Actually I don't want to let go of Arshaka either.

I still want to linger with him.

It feels comfortable to hold Arshaka like this.

Until I started to forget the position we were hugging in the office corridor.

But I have to go back to my room.

"I have to go back to my room" I said as I gave a hug.

"I promise, after this I'll call you."

"Aren't you lying?" he asked with a sad, spoiled face.

"Promise that you'll actually call me after this,"

After I nodded, he smiled happily.

"Would I take you to your room?"

I'm meggeleng.

"no need. You better go back to your room, too,"

"I'm just here to see you, not to go to work" she explained with a pouting face that left me stunned for a while.

"Ah I forgot that you're the President Commissioner here."

"Not so," as it were.

"Well, I won't stop you anymore. Don't forget to keep your promise!"

Before I left Arshaka cupped my cheeks and kissed my cheeks. Then he left with a red face.

Maybe at this time my face also looks shy red like fried shrimp.

...***** ...

I came out of the bathroom after cleaning myself. Soon I opened the closet and put on my nightgown.

After that I approached the nightstand to grab my phone and immediately threw myself into bed.

I checked the notification about my alarm note, I deliberately activated it so that I did not forget about the work I had completed today.

Looking at the little note I deliberately made as a reminder of me, I immediately dialed Arshaka's number.

"Hello,"

"Ha-hello," I reply.

I don't know why my heart is beating fast hearing Arshaka's hoarse voice.

"Why did you just call me at this hour?"

"I just finished taking a shower" I replied.

"Why did you just finish taking a bath at nine in the evening? What are you doing daritadi?"

"What can't be done tomorrow?"

"If I could I'd call you sooner,"

"But you can tell me earlier,"

"I bothered Arshaka. Just now I was in a hurry to finish my work because Muri was waiting for the results of my report that should have been completed by the afternoon,"

"So you're guilty of me because I saw you this afternoon?"

I closed my eyes for a moment, I was lazy to argue with him.

"Why are you silent? You mad?"

"I'm sleepy" I said briefly.

Now Arshaka is silent.

"Yes, that's it,"

There was a connection cut off from Arshaka and I immediately threw my phone upset.

Though we have just turned around why should we start with a ruckus like this?

I decided to go out of the room, walk up to the fridge in the kitchen and pour the drink into the glass.

Maybe the cold soda water was able to ease the irritation in my head.

I sipped it up to the toilet, then poured it again and drank it.

"Bi, uh,"

I turned back, looking at Muri who called me while patting my shoulder.

"There's Mr. Arshaka outside, look at you."

My reflex choked with my drink until it coughed. Muri helped me by giving me some tissue and patting my back.

My nose and throat hurt from swallowing soda water.

"It hurts?"

I just nodded and still coughed. Until my tears come out.

Seeing that my cough was getting dry, Muri pamit.

"He sat in the living room. I stay, yes,"

Muri went to her room and I was still standing in the kitchen. Still confused about what to do when I meet him.

Why did he suddenly come here?

And how did he know I lived here?

I'll see him soon. And I was quite astonished to see Arshaka's presence in my Homestay.

Arshaka got up when he saw me.

"Why are you crying?"

Arshaka came up to me and looked at me.

"I'm choking on my drink. Be ill. It was crying." I explained.

"Can't you?"

"Because I heard you came here."

"I was wrong again?"

Oh my God I'm lazy if there's any more drama.

"No."

I pulled her hand over to the sofa and we sat there together.

"Why are you here?" now I turn around to ask.

"Do you know where I live here?"

"Sir Tommy told me."

"You called him at night just to ask for my Homestay?"

"No. From the beginning your office told my office where your Homestay address was."

Ah.. I forgot again.

I understand.

"You want to sleep?"

"I'm going to sleep, though,"

"Why not sleep?"

"I went to the kitchen first, wanted a drink. Tanya Muri said you were here. There's no way I'm staying asleep, right?"

Hearing my answer Arshaka smiled.

"I'm sorry if my attitude has irritated you. I just still miss you, still want to see you."

Then Arshaka took my hand, told me to gently stroke her head, and Arshaka leaned herself against the sofa while looking at me.

"How can I be this?"

"But if you're sleepy to say yes! I'm going home,"

I nodded briefly.

Still stroking his head, I leaned over to the sofa and we looked at each other.

Until I was not aware myself if the dream melted me slowly and vaguely I heard a soft whisper that made my sleep more soundly.

"Night, Bee."
