Face up
Jodi drove Arnold home after he felt better. Arnold still can't trust Jodi, he'll investigate everything until it's clear. But to keep Rara safe, Arnold should work with her for now.
Arriving at Alex's house, Arnold got out of the car. Jodi accompanied him walking up to the front of the gate.
Jodi: "You can go in by yourself?"
Arnold : "Yes. My condition is better."
Jodi: "If so, I'll go back. Call me if there's anything."
Arnold: "What will happen?"
Jodi: "You know what I mean."
Jodi turns around about to walk to her car, but Arnold's next words make her turn around again.
Arnold: "Bro, do you remember our greetings?"
Jodi: "Of course."
Arnold and Jodi are schoolmates. Although different classes, they can be familiar because of car racing. Even Arnold once saved Jodi when he got into trouble with a motorcycle gang.
Arnold knows Jodi very well, his nature and character. That's why he knows that Jodi loves Rara. They did the greeting they used to do and ended up with a hug.
Just then Alex and Mia who just returned from the office, saw them laughing together while hugging. Alex almost approaches Jodi and wants to hit him if only Mia doesn't hold him back.
Mia: "Patience, mas."
Alex : "Male********why is that here?! Same with Arnold again."
They got out of the car and approached the two. Jodi, surprised by Alex and Mia's arrival, takes a step back from Arnold.
Arnold: "Father, you're home?"
Arnold sees Alex clenching his hand and Mia trying to hold Alex. Jodi lowered her head, not daring to look at the two.
Alex: "Well are you here?!"
Jodi : "...Excuse me, um."
Arnold : "She nolong Arnold, reward. Arnold's back pain came back when he went home. It just so happened to meet Jodi, she helped Arnold."
Alex: "He?"
Arnold : "Jodi schoolmate Arnold, reward. We both loved car racing. But after the accident, we lost contact. Where are you going?"
Jodi: "I was abroad at the time. My father suddenly got sick and I had to replace him."
Jodi looked at Mia for a while and looked back down. He stepped back as Mia walked over to him.
Alex: "Darling, be careful."
Jodi looks at Mia's distended stomach, she stops stepping back and stands upright facing Mia.
Mia: "Thank you for your help."
Jodi: "No. I mean, sorry for what I did. I'm so mean to you and Rara."
Mia: "It's normal. We're the same age, just plain talk. How about we go in?"
Jodi: "I have to go..."
Mia: "Don't you have to apologize to Rara directly?"
Jodi: "Ach, that's right. But if Rara doesn't want to see you, I'll be gone."
Jodi looked nervous, she clasped her hands tightly. Sooner or later he has to meet everyone he has ever hurt.
They all walked into Alex's house. Jodi and Arnold were sitting in the living room. Alex leads Mia in.
Alex: "Darling, you wait in the living room. Don't be so stressed. Let me call Rara."
Mia: "Jodi's desk of opportunity, mas. I see it seems like he has realized his mistake."
Alex: "We don't know, baby. I'm just being vigilant. If he has changed, that's good. But if this was part of his revenge plan, I wouldn't let it."
Mia: "Yes already there. Temenin Rara yes. Don't be emotional."
Alex knocks on Rara's room door and Rara opens it.
Rara: "Papa? Why pah?"
Alex: "Follow papa yes. Someone wants to see you."
Rara: "Who?"
Alex: "Jodi."
Megan: "Jodi?! Why'd he come here?"
Alex: "Say I'm sorry. He's the same Arnold up front. You know that Jodi's Arnold's schoolmate?"
Rara: "Yes, pah. Arnold told me."
Alex: "Would you like to see him or not?"
Rara thought of something, every problem must be faced or will not be solved. Arnold taught it that way.
Alex and Rara walk past Mia who is already sitting comfortably in the living room. Mia smiled at the two while stroking her stomach.
✨✨✨✨✨
While waiting for Alex to call Rara, Arnold tries to talk to Jodi.
Arnold: "Don't strain."
Jodi: "What does it look like?"
Arnold: "Yes, like when the head of a biker gang almost smashed your head."
Jodi: "Do you remember?"
Arnold: "I remember you who were not what you are today. What's going on?"
Jodi: "Say I was dragged into an untrue relationship. You know, money can change everything even the way I solve problems. Once upon a time I managed to solve a problem with money and the devil started dragging me into that circle."
Arnold: "Why aren't you looking for me?"
Jodi: "I don't know either. My new friends busy me too much. I didn't know you were in an accident either..."
Arnold looked behind Jodi, smiling at Rara. Jodi took a breath that somehow felt very thin air.
Jodi looked up at Rara. Rara took a step back to hit her papa when she saw Jodi who was already standing.
Jodi looks sad with Rara's reaction, she looks down awkwardly.
Jodi: "I'd better go. I'm sorry, Ra." Jodi almost got out of Alex's house,
Rara: "You haven't apologized properly."
Jodi turned around again and knelt down, dropping herself in front of everyone in the living room of the house.
Jodi: "I'm sorry, Ra. For everything I do. I'm sorry."
Arnold helped Jodi stand up, though,
Rara: "I've forgiven my sister. You can go."
Jodi: "Thank you, Ra. I'm saying goodbye."
Jodi leaves Alex's house, looking at Rara who is still standing in her living room.
She looks more beautiful and mature. A year later he did not see the woman he loved. Yes, Jodi loved Rara from the first moment she met the girl.
But when her love is unrequited, her heartache turns into an obsession that hurts Rara. Now that Rara had forgiven him, his life could be calmer.
After Jodi left, Rara hugged Arnold who was sitting in the family room.
Rara: "Mas, how can she be the same?"
Arnold : "So I finished the meeting, I got sick. When he met her, he took me to the hospital." Arnold had to lie so Rara wouldn't worry.
Rara: "Don't you call me?"
Arnold: "I don't want you to worry. There was a doctor too. Now I'm fine."
Alex: "When did you start therapy?"
Arnold: "Tomorrow, reward. There's doctor Kevin, too. You want to come, Ra?"
Rara: "Yes, mas. I must keep you going."
Arnold: "Ra, from now on help me in the office. You learn business too. Both can be lighter than my work."
Rara: "Can, mas? It was the mas who did not digasi first. Mas said let's not be sapped."
Arnold: "Yes, I ask you to help me now. Everyone's meeting with the client too."
Alex: "It's good that you guys take care of the company. Rara is young and needs your guidance, so Arnold has to be patient. Rara also studied seriously."
Rara: "Yes, reward."
He was silent to hear something that sounded familiar. They compactly turned towards Mia who was already fast asleep with her body leaning on a large sofa.
Alex: "Good! She hasn't had a bath and a meal, how's nich?"
Rara: "Mama's tent is sleeping, pah. Cassian soy sauce."
Alex corrects Mia's sleeping position and covers her legs to the stomach. He sat next to his wife, waiting for Mia to wake up.
