Invisible Heir
Mind Burden
"I... I figured... We, it's better to have a relationship as friends." Arsa finally said this. Because it's impossible to tell the truth.
At this moment, Talita stood up, her eyes red, and her sadness was drowning her even more. Seeing Talita behaving like this, Arsa's heart grew more depressed and broken.
"Arsa, I don't want to be good friends with you. I thought, we better feel foreign to each other" Talita said as she pulled the taxi door. Arsa can only see Talita closing the taxi door until the taxi finally leaves.
On the other side.
Talita, who was currently sitting inside the taxi kept crying. Her tears did not stop dripping down her cheeks. She has actually been fond of Arsa for a long time, and Arsa has always been very kind to her. It made her think that Arsa liked her too. He never expected this to be the answer given by Arsa.
When the taxi disappeared from Arsa's sight, Arsa got into the car in a hurry, then leaned her head on the round steering wheel. Slowly driving his car.
After Arsa gets home, she wants to call Talita. But in the end, he held back again. Arsa panicked, There are many things that make her head feel like it's going to break. There was no other choice, so he called his best friend, the Adit. And invited him to drink together.
At nightfall, in a night bar, in a room. There were two dozen beers on the table, totaling 24 bottles.
"Ndut, come! Let's finish this drink! " arisa's like frustration.
" Well Arsa, I'll have a drink with you! " After Arsa finished speaking, Adit immediately picked up a bottle of wine and poured it into the glass. Without a word, Adit picked up a bottle of wine and drank with Arsa. After drinking one bottle, Arsa took another bottle and continued to drink it. With this, Adit follows Arsa and drinks 3 bottles himself.
"Wait on! Arsa, wait! If you drink like this again, there will be problems later if you get drunk!" When Arsa was about to take the fourth bottle, Adit immediately held his hand. After drinking three bottles in a row, Arsa's face was already flushed with a hangover.
"Arsa, what's going on? " ask Adit who feels something is wrong.
"Arsa, can you tell me what's wrong?" Adit asked back. When Adit looked at Arsa up close, he realized that Arsa's mood was bad, so he knew something must have happened.
"Adit, Talita confessed to me today. I admit that he likes me." Arsa said.
"Then... Today is a good day. You and Talita are now a couple, as I thought all along. You should have known for a long time" Adit looked very confused by Arsa's words.
"But I refused it... Because I've been in a relationship with Rita.” Arsa shook her head in both hands.
Arsa picked up another bottle of wine and drank it at once. After drinking, Arsa put down the bottle, then shook her head.
"It's all because of Rita's father. He had put a lot of stimulant drugs into the wine he was serving. And it makes something happen between me and Rita, which makes us have a relationship." Arsa is honest. Adit suddenly nodded when he heard this.
"Although Rita and I don't like each other, but since it's already happened, I have to take responsibility for Rita, so I can't accept Talita anymore,” Arsa said as she shook her head.
"It turns out so." Adit initially doesn't understand, until Arsa tells him everything.
"Adit, I didn't believe this before I told you, so don't tell anyone about it, especially Talita." Arsa looked at Adit seriously.
"Come, let's have another drink!" arsa said it looked so frustrating.
"Don't worry, Arsa. I won't tell anyone." Adit nodded. Arsa took another bottle of wine.
"okay... I'll drink with you." Adit wants to persuade Arsa that he doesn't want his best friend to get too drunk, but he changes his mind. Adit felt that Arsa was uncomfortable at this moment. If Adit were in Arsa's position, everything would be more painful. He had to hurt the girl he loved because of someone else's obsession. So, Adit thinks, it's okay Arsa drinks alcohol. And also, he did not know how to persuade Arsa not to do so. Finally, Adit and Arsa drank a few more bottles.
"Adit, I have to go to the toilet." Arsa stood up as soon as she finished saying.
"I'll accompany you." Adit sees Arsa staggering, so he can't calm down when Arsa goes out to the bathroom alone. He immediately got up to help Arsa.
After going to the toilet in the bathroom, Adit helps Arsa walk out again.
In the hallway of the Bar, Arsa was a little drunk and walked a little staggering. The two of them accidentally met a middle-aged woman who was passing by.
"Are you blind?" The middle-aged woman glared at Arsa and Adit.
"Sorry, my brother is drunk." Adit quickly apologized to the middle-aged woman.
"Would you say sorry, everything will be done? Don't you know how expensive my clothes are? Can you buy it until you break it?" The middle-aged woman said in an arrogant and unreasonable tone.
