ARSHAKA
Justice

The Arshaka said it was handsome.

The Arshaka said it was friendly, smiling.

Said the woman Arshaka approached was a lucky woman.

But to me, he's a bully.

Keep haunting me like a ghost.

Unceasing to approach me even though I have often refused, and always managed to make me forced to raise my hand.

I once asked him why he didn't approach another woman, his age? Or with his junior? Or any other woman.

There must be a friend dong who is more beautiful and interesting than me.

Anyway not me.

I say this does not mean I am insecure, because I believe in the phrase "all women are born beautiful, just how a woman can show herself to the public."

But Arshaka answered, only,

"don't be jealous Bi, my eyes and heart are only on you."

Hearing that I rolled my eyes off.

Not until there. Arshaka increasingly routinely gave me a sprig of white Roses. Either he gave me it directly or he sent it by courier Bunga.

Every stalk he gave me, was also tucked in a greeting card. When I read, sweet words of greeting and praise were written there in slick handwriting.

Lastly Arshaka sent me another Rose through the courier with the word on the greeting card:

"see you tomorrow, Bee."

I let out a tired sigh after reading the card, recalling where Arshaka won the wild race 2 days ago.

We were supposed to go together tomorrow after the race, but I asked to step down and I finally decided to go with him tomorrow.

It's also because Arshaka often bullies me by calling me every night.

As a normal woman, I admit that Arshaka is good at making women kegeeran and melted like ice cream. Karin just started to get anxious herself with her sweet attitude.

But my premonition evaporated doubtfully, telling myself that I had not let my guard down with Arshaka. In my mind, Arshaka is still a stranger. I also felt something dark glowing in Arshaka. 

I don't know why I can feel that way, but I still choose to follow my intuition.

For me, Arshaka is so close to me but hard to reach. 

I don't know, I just don't understand the sentence I just made myself.

"lately you like to daydream for yourself, you have a problem?"

I glanced to the side when one hand of Arshaka disturbed my gaze. Then I answered as necessary.

"the mind of the task piles up for next week" I said an alibi, then he stroked my head at a glance.

"just think about his job. Now we're happy-happy first," he said later. After he drove the car in the Basement Mall we went out to the entrance.

Honestly, my mood no longer wants to pass around the Mall. I'm not the type of woman who makes the Mall as a primary need.

But I can't deny, the Mall is the best place to wash your eyes. And my missqueen soul will also scream if it finds a big discount label here. Especially if there are many discount sneakers, like khilaf.

"are you hungry? What do you want to eat Bee?"

Oh yeah, now call my name also he plesetin so Bee. He said let my heart soften little by little.

I can really hide from the fringes of school.

"i want to eat Chicken Noodles" I said as I glanced left-right. Looking at some fashion clothing outlets that quite caught my attention.

"Chicken Noodles in BMK?"

"no," I shook my head.

"he's got Chicken noodles on the side of the road, in front of Sawarna High School."

"you mean Bang Aidil Chicken Noodle?"

I'm nodding.

A moment I did not find him commenting made me glance at him. I think he's mad because I asked him to eat on the side of the road.

"i told Bang Aidil we're going there. Yuk!"

I gasped for a moment before Arshaka pulled my hand.

**********************************

Me and Arshaka are already sitting at the Bang Aidil Chicken Noodle.

After Arshaka and I ordered the menu, Bang Aidil was busy making orders and Arshaka was busy calling someone. While I looked at the situation of Sawarna High School which seemed quiet because today is Sunday.

Besides Arshaka and Leo attending school here, I was one of the Alumni at the school. After I graduated, Leo just entered 1st grade High School.

When I was in school, Bang Aidil Chicken Noodle was my favorite place as I waited for public transport to pass. Once a month I like to eat Chicken Noodles here, after full I will go home.

Two bowls of complete Chicken Noodles are presented in front of me and Arshaka. Immediately I took the spoon and fork and I cleaned it with a tissue. After cleaning I put it in the Arshaka Chicken Noodle bowl, and back I took another spoon and fork and I cleaned it.

"it turns out you're romantic too" Arshaka praised after putting her phone on the table. He smiled seeing me give him a clean spoon and fork.

I was silent to see him smile at me. But soon I cleared my throat briefly.

"me, romantic?"

Arshaka nodded, then wiped his lips using a tissue after putting the first mouthful into his mouth.

"don't do it to another man, only to me."

"it's just a habit of mine if I'm eating out" I said. Since my mother was still around, before I started my eating activities she would always clean my dinnerware using a tissue.

Even though we eat in hygienic places, he will still pay attention to our cutlery, making sure that they are safe to use.

"it's good to be a habit. My health will be assured if I'm with you."

"i'm not a doctor who can guarantee a person's health" I said flatly, as devouring Mie filled my mouth.

"i don't need a doctor or any profession to keep a close eye on my health, I just need you by my side."

Indeed, the basis of the soul of fakboi, too good at stringing up the word combalan until some visitors who also eat here glance at us while smiling meaningfully.

I don't know what my face is right now, trying to hold back my embarrassment and also my heart beating for being the center of attention.

After our food ran out, Arshaka took me around the city and ended up in a park. The crowds of visitors and the many street vendors who sell on the side of the Park attract my attention to surround the Park.

Then we sat down in an empty iron chair, and I looked up at some people who were playing roller skates. There are also some people who are busy with their respective activities: cycling, sitting relaxed while chatting, jogging, and others.

Before long Arshaka thrust candy gulali to me, my reflex is happy to reach for cotton candy that I like very much.

"Bee, man,"

I looked up when Arshaka called me.

"yuk's girlfriend."

Suddenly I sat there staring at him, I could see his face looked very serious making me difficult to move.

"i don't want to joke anymore."

Yeah, I thought Arshaka was just kidding. Because he likes to say things while being vague. 

But his expression this time did not sulut in the slightest, even more serious looking at me.

"i'm serious Bee. I want you to be my girlfriend,"

I couldn't return her words, my lips became muddled, it was hard to get a word out to her. My breath went up and down because my heart beat filled my chest cavity.

I was also unable to return the sharp gaze that was drawing at me.

I just say no, or I can shake my head as a sign of rejection.

But I just kept quiet and did nothing, letting him wait for me to return his request.

"if you still have doubts, it's okay. Just woles!"

"but I'll charge you the answer Bee. I only received a yes from you." she added again, then ruffled my hair at a glance.

I thought I would get upset and look down at her usual pushy attitude, but I just shook my head to look at Arshaka smiling.

While I was trying to digest carefully, for I felt a veiled feeling fill my heart at this moment.
