IRIS BLUE
Chapter 20: The dark past

"So Arka's fiance is Hadyan Danishwara's son?"Efrina asked in surprise.

Alara nodded in confusion."How do you know Hadyan Danishwara?"

Efrina was silent, only a drop after a drop of clear liquid was flowing down her cheek.

"Don't tell me Hadyan is Elna's father?Really!?"Alara's voice was slightly raised.

"I looked for him where to account for his actions to me, but to this day I have not found him.hiiks.hiiks.."

Dozens of years bear the burden of his own, now Efrina can not hold it anymore.In front of Alara, dark wounds of the past that is now poured out.Cruel crying heartrending from Efrina can Alara feel.

"Cry, I know you've been holding this for a long time, I know how you feel, Efri, living in a country of people without help from parents, I know, I know, I know,,just seeing you when I first met I know how your life's been suffering."Alara hugged Efrina, trying to calm the beautiful woman down.

"Maybe it's time I told you everything Ara."Efrina wiped away the tears and broke Alara's embrace.

"If you can't do it later I'll wait until you're ready to tell me everything."

Efrina shook her head."Not sure I'm ready to tell you later."

"It's up to you."

Efrina sighed then started telling stories."Decades ago, the first time I met Hadyan when she went on to study in France, she was a sweet man, I just started falling in love with her,and he also reciprocated the love I gave.I hid everything from Baba, we dated long enough until one day Baba knew everything.I had to leave Hadyan.Baba did not agree I had a serious relationship with him.But I did not care, but I did not care,I stayed in my stance, and I finally decided to marry Hadyan without Baba's blessing, and the beginning of the marriage went well.I tried to return to Istanbul after a year of living in France,and that year was also the last year Hadyan took her S2 education.But beyond my estimation, it turns out Hadyan refused to come to Istanbul with me, she prefers to return to her own country.Akupun trying to understand, he said,because she said she was going to pick me back up after her successful attempt.Until one day I found out that I was pregnant, I called her, but she changed her phone number, I became agitated, I kept trying to find her for a while,Baba comes with news that breaks my heart, but Hadyan deceived me, she was married and had a daughter before she continued her studies in France,fortunately baba still wanted to accept me, I felt very sinful to her.All went as normal as ever until the moment Elna I was born, I asked for permission to seek Hadyan to Indonesia,but Baba forbade me, she said, Why look for such an irresponsible man, you think I can't support you and your son?.so Baba said.But I have to keep trying to find him,I need an explanation, why he could fool me like that.Maybe at that time I was too young, Baba kicked me out of the house because I was determined to bring Elna with me to Indonesia, Baba let me go as long as I did not bring her granddaughter, she said,but, I can't live without Elna and that's where my stupidity is.Baba probably won't acknowledge me as his son anymore."Obviously Efrina at length made Alara to the point of sighing roughly.

"You are indeed extraordinary Efri, fortunately Elna did not follow your dissident nature."Instead of being concerned about what happened to Efrina, Alara compared her cousin to Elna.

"That's what you said, Ara, look at me now, the real evidence when you dared to go against your parents."Efrina was very sorry for her actions first.But like the saying rice has become porridge, everything that has happened will not return to the way it was.

"Have it, we'd better think of our two children, I haven't told Aslan about everything that happened to Elna and Arka."

Already this week Elna lived in the house of Arka, sometimes in between the time he came to meet Ozkhan, whose name is Mother, did not meet one day only with the child, he said,during the week there was not too much going on between Arka and Elna, it was just that the communication between the two began to look more intense than before.

Like today, dinner has Elna prepared when Arka calls if she is late to come home because she will visit her parents.Until this moment Arka did not tell Elna that they have a special relationship, Arka,well that's because he has a family relationship let alone say that he was the man who that night snatched something very valuable in him. Arka is still waiting for the right moment.

At midnight Arka just arrived home, Alara told her to stay over but Arka refused with unreasonable reason, but Alara could understand, Alara,because he already knew from Efrina that Elna now lives in the house of Arka.Alara began to believe that his son liked Elna.And the problem today is Freya,Alara had to figure out the right way to end the engagement.

"What are you doing in the middle of the night?"Arka caught Elna in the kitchen at twelve o'clock at night.Usually upon returning home, Arka went straight to the room but an unbearable thirst shifted her purpose.

Arka put the glass on the table and then approached Elna."What are you doing?"Ask her.

"Instant noodle sir."Elna answered Arka's question without looking at the man right behind her.

"Where did you get that unhealthy food?"Arka protests.Indeed he never bought any kind of instant food, but it can not be denied if he also wanted noodles made by Elna.

"So when I got home from the hotel, I stopped by the supermarket, sir?I have a good stock."Elna offers Arka.Dan indeed since then his sense of smell has been poisoned by the smell of instant noodles that dance on the tip of his nose.

"Mmmmmm.You just eat.I don't eat junk food like that."Arka spoke out of sync between her mouth and brain, her saliva was almost dripping so uninhibited.

Elna who had prepared on the table a bowl of instant noodles smiled looking at the Arka's dragonfly that was going up and down."It's for sir, I can make another one."Elna said as she opened the refrigerator and took out ingredients such as chicken pieces, shrimp, and vegetables to mix in the noodles she was going to cook.

Without saying much, Arka took off her suit and then ate instant noodles that were still steaming because it had just been moved from the pot.Sweat splashed on both temples, but she did not care, but she did not care,this lifetime was his first experience eating instant noodles and it really tasted really delicious.

"How does the junk food taste, sir?"Elna smiled with satisfaction after venting her frustration because Arka thought that the food was not worth consuming."Occasionally eating food like this is okay sir, it won't affect your health."After making fun of Arka, Elna gave a little advice to the boss who always consumed food with perfect nutritional value.

Arka was only silent to hear the insinuations of Elna, because she wanted to argue also free, this time she lost a landslide.After completion, Arka left the kitchen, but dear, along with the steps Arka, Elna turned around after finishing washing dishes, and as a result, she left the kitchen,Elna hit Arka's big body.
