Chapters. 18
“Will you be my girlfriend?” continued Arga ventured. Either he got his courage from nowhere, but his impulse could not be prevented anymore.
Maybe because of the habit of meeting aggressive women, so meeting women who always keep his attitude like Sara makes him curious. Unlike the girls out there, who like it, even hysterical when meeting him. Sara was just being mediocre. Oma Widya Sara is one of her fans.
At least Sara showed a reaction as a fan met her idol. She asks Sara to be her boyfriend. At least Sara is excited, or hysterical like other girls who claim to be fans.
However, let alone the reaction, Sara's attitude was even too ordinary. Not showing any euphoria when he meets his idol. That's what makes Arga curious.
No answer from Sara, Arga even made his own misdeeds. Many times he rubbed his nape, wet his lips, then confused what to do.
“Emm ... My question is weird huh?” ask her as an awkward repellent. Because things suddenly feel strange. Sara did not answer the question.
“Sorry if I make you feel uncomfortable. I know my question is strange. We just met, we don't even know each other. But I was too presumptuous to ask that. I know this may not be trustworthy for you. Impressed in a hurry, maybe even just messing around. But believe me, I mean it with my question.” Confused what to say, Arga just expressed his thoughts clearly.
“I'm sure Oma must have told you everything about me, right? Oma also must have told you why Oma left home,” said Arga in order to unravel awkward, eager to connect words with Sara. Which is still silent, as if reluctant to discuss about romance.
“Oma really wanted to see me get married and form a small family. But I repeatedly refused, to the point that Oma got angry and left the house. I am an orphan, I only have Oma in this world. I really love Oma. I don't want to disappoint him. But, make no mistake. I didn't ask you that just to please Oma. I'm really interested in you.” Honestly, it might make things more fluid. Arga still believes that. He is the type of person who is prestigious.
However, Sara still speaks a thousand languages. Or maybe, Sara was not interested in him.
O God. Arga has gone wrong with his strategy. He thought it would be that easy to shoot Sara. Though this is the proposal of Oma Widya, who asked him to shoot Sara alone now. Rather than delaying time. Later there, even Sara hunted taken people.
“Yes, maybe I'm weird. Forget my question. Let's just say I was joking. I can tell you you_”
“I've been married. I am a widow.” Sara said in the end, interrupting Arga's words quickly. Until making Arga silent for a moment.
“Not that I refuse, but it would be better if you find one that is more deserving of me. What if everyone knew my status. You'll definitely be a piece of gossip. I just don't want to ruin your reputation. I also don't want to disappoint your fans,” added Sara.
Arga. Now he changed who was at a loss for words. Oma Widya had never said this before. Is Oma Widya deliberately keeping this a secret because she likes Sara so much?
“I never said this to Oma,” added Sara told the truth about herself. As long as Oma Widya lived with him, she never told him about her life. In addition to the reality of him who lives a kara. So it's only natural that Oma Widya thinks she's still a girl.
Arga was at a loss for words for a moment. He was confused as to how to behave and respond to Sara's honesty. He misbehaved himself, can only wet his lips many times.
....
“He's already married Oma. And she's divorced her husband. She's a widow!” Arga said, putting emphasis on the last sentence, when he and Oma Widya had a conversation together in the back garden near the pool.
Moments after Arga publicized her relationship with Sara, studio one Lucky Star TV has been filled with mass media who want to get confirmation directly from Arga and Sara. So they have a little trouble returning home because of the many media who want to cover their closeness.
There was no other choice for Arga, he had already publicized his relationship with Sara. So the truth about Sara became a second affair after they returned home.
“Why not tell me about this?” arga demanded an explanation.
“How can an Arga marry a widow? Can ruin my reputation later.” Arga muttered while shaking his waist.
“But you already publicized your relationship right? If you pull back your words, then you will be considered a player. Men who have no stand and like to play with women. Oma guarantee, your reputation will be more ruined than marrying a widow. If you marry Sara, Oma is sure, the opposite will happen. You will gain public sympathy. Oma was very sure of that. Moreover Sara is a poor widow.” Oma Widya smiled faintly.
The truth about Sara actually surprised him. But unlike Arga, he can still see the positive side of Sara's honesty. After all, Sara is a good woman. Only his fate was less fortunate. What would be wrong if she was a widow.
“Oma want me to marry a widow? Has Oma thought of this before?” Arga was surprised. He still can't think clearly.
“But you like Sara right?”
Arga stuttered, then misbehaved. He was interested in Sara. But Sara's widowed self still disturbs her mind. He even began to shake his beliefs. How could he marry another ex-boy?
“Do not be selfish. You don't know all the truth about Sara. Even the reason she divorced her husband you don't know yet? Oma tell me the same you ..” Oma Widya approached, then gently patted Arga on the shoulder.
“Don't like to judge someone by what appears in front of your eyes. Oma's advice, you should know Sara more deeply. Because according to Oma's judgment, Sara was a good woman. He is honest also sincere.”
Arga was silent for a moment. He breathed deeply. While weighing the words of the grandmother.
....
While elsewhere.
Stepping lethargic into the house, Danny looked tired. He was about to head to his room when his steps came to a halt in the middle room.
In the living room, Bi Minah was watching a TV show, infotainment. Bi Minah smiled to herself while commenting on a news she was watching.
“Waaah ... Non Sara is beautiful now. Where can the artist again. Pendant. They look very harmonious. Non Sara, Aunt is happy with this happy news. May Non Sara be happy always.”
Suddenly, Danny's chest rumbled, feeling hot when he saw the news on television. Moreover, hearing Bi Minah's comments saying that Sara and Arga are a matching couple. Really, I feel like he wants to slam the TV.
“Bi, please turn off the TV,” said Danny as he walked to his room not far from the living room.
“Good, Mr.” Bi Minah immediately turned off the TV. Then I went back to his room. But his steps must be stopped when Danny calls him.
“Bi!”
“Iya, Mr.” while rotating body.
“Can I ask Aunty for help?”
“Bby, Sir. What do you think Mr Danny needs help from Auntie? Sir Danny need anything? Can I get you now. Or is Mr Danny going to have dinner? Can Aunty make it now.”
“Not, Bi. It's about Sara. I need Aunt's help as an intermediary.”
