Beginning of Forced Marriage
BDP. The Part 15
In a restaurant in the corner of Singapore's Lion— City, a man is calming a sad woman.
"When I tried less, many times he played behind me, I always forgave him, but why, he never appreciated, all that and did the same thing over and over again," racau a woman who looks beautiful, even with a disheveled appearance because she continues to cry.
The man sitting in front of him sighed again, for how many hours they had been there, even the strange gazes of the waiters in the restaurant had been varied.
He was sure that the servants and visitors there thought he was doing something to the woman who was shedding her grief.
"Aren't you tired of crying? Even your voice is running out" said the man who was none other than Arkan to the woman.
"Ar, um I'm lacking anything, until he kept cheating," he said again still by looking at Arkan, wiping the tears that continue to fall on his cheeks.
The table that should have been used to serve the food, was filled with tissue that the woman used to wipe her tears, for Arkan a scene like this was common to see, he said, so he was no longer surprised by it.
Listia Hanasta, 32-year-old woman, former Arkan, her first love, as well as the woman who made Arkan until this moment still can not forget the feelings for him.
The woman who managed to enter and live in a special room in Arkan's heart and could not get out of his heart and life, the woman who was able to bind Arkan, until just fixated on him.
"Let's take you back to the hotel, look it's night, you have to rest" Arkan said without answering Listi's previous remarks.
Arkan painstakingly picked up the tissues of the former Listi that made the table messy, after finishing collecting the tissues, he rolled them together and pulled Listi to wake up.
Listi began to stand up and follow Arkan's steps, they came out of the restaurant after finishing paying, Arkan then threw the circle of tissue into the trash can that was not far away.
They enter the car that Arkan rented while there, he takes the car to the hotel where Listi stayed first to deliver it, during the trip, during the trip, the woman sitting quietly beside him no longer spoke.
"The message was silent," Arkan murmured as he glanced beside her, it turned out that Listi was already asleep.
Arkan was running his car leisurely, he did not want to wake the woman who had just calmed down, he knew the woman must have been tired from crying for several hours.
After arriving in front of the hotel lobby where Listi was staying, Arkan slowly began to wake her up, until the woman began to pierce and open her eyes.
"We're up to Ar?" Listi nodded and stretched his body.
"Yes, you take a break. And remember! Do not be rash, solve your problems when you feel calmer," said Arkan staring at Listi who is still tidying up his appearance, in the rearview mirror.
Listi turned to look at Arkan for a while, she then nodded and smiled, the rest of the crying still visible on her beautiful face.
"Thank you, again you want to be my place to complain and be a good listener" said Listi smiling, until his red and crooked narrow eyes, almost closed perfectly.
"Yes, if there's anything you stay call me again" Arkan nodded.
"When do you go back to Indonesia?" ask Listi.
"Maybe, why?" Arkan looked at Listi with a hint of astonishment.
"Tomorrow we go for a walk first, I need a positive energy intake, before going home and discussing this matter with my husband," said Listi with a face that had returned sad, when discussing about her husband.
Arkan immediately nodded in agreement, not requiring any consideration first, his weakness was still the same as it used to be, he still could not refuse anything the woman said.
"All right, tomorrow I'll pick you up here" Arkan said.
Listi waved at Arkan, after which he began to enter the hotel where he was staying, while Arkan, the man then began to run back his car, splitting the streets in the city dubbed the city of lions.
He sighed deeply several times, thinking about his friendship with Listi, he never lied, if until now the woman who should have been that past, still held the most important position in his heart.

"Oh, is your name Nayna, right?" asked a woman who was seriously driving her car, she asked without looking at Nayna.
"Yes, Ma'am," said Nayna, nodding faintly.
There was no more conversation between them, according to Fara's previous plan, who had deliberately come to Arkan's house and met Nayna to take her shopping.
He is asked by Arkan to accompany Nayna, because Arkan is sure that if Nayna will definitely not go anywhere, he is also sure that if the daily needs in his house must have been running out.
Shortly after the car that Fara was driving had reached the basement of a supermarket, Fara invited Nayna to immediately go down, Nayna also said, he went down and followed Fara.
"You remember, right? What's up at home?" asked Fara, as they entered the supermarket and picked up the trolley first.
"Remember Ma'am" said Nayna.
"Good, Mas Arkan also asked me to make you want to buy milk, just not too much to buy spicy snacks," said Fara while pushing the trolley to the vegetable first.
"Yes Ma'am," said Nayna briefly.
They also choose food with occasional conversation, but more Fara who speaks, while Nayna just chimed in, in fact he is a person who is not too easily familiar with others, he said, so there he just chimed in Fara's words as necessary.
"Have you never been out at all?" asked Fara looking at Nayna who was beside her, they were currently choosing fruits.
"Never before Ma'am" said Nayna accompanied by a headband.
"Why? You do not need to feel bad, if you want to go outside, yes just go, play with friends for example, I'm sure you must feel bored if at home continues at all times."
Nayna just chimed in Fara's words with a little smile, since she knew she was pregnant, she did pull herself from the crowd, including her friends.
He chose to be alone, even though he did not have the courage to meet people who had previously known him.
"I don't feel bored Ma'am, instead I prefer to stay at home, do all the homework" said Nayna again smiling.
"You don't feel burdened by your pregnancy, even though she was present because of your mistake, but you can't make an excuse to stay away from the world" said Fara who seemed to know how Nayna felt.
"Everyone must have made a mistake, it's just that the way and the level of his mistakes are different, I actually quite salute you, you dare to take such a big action to maintain it."
"Now you are grateful for his presence, because there are still many people out there who expect the presence of a child, but they are still not given confidence for it."
Inexplicably hearing Fara's words at length, sparking a new spirit for Nayna, he confirmed what the much older woman had said.
There are still many people out there who have expected the presence of a child in their lives, but he has been trusted for it, even though it is present in the wrong way.
