Arka helped her mother prepare everything. Starting from installing tents, arranging the layout of chairs, adding lights and others. He helped many neighbors around.
"Son Liana, don't go home yet." Arka's mother told Liana, who is currently slicing vegetables, with Rianti and the other neighboring girls.
"Yes ma'am." said Liana later.
A few minutes ago, he told Amanda he didn't feel good to go home. Because there's a lot of work here. Amanda said, it's okay if Liana wants to help. Amanda will give you an extra allowance and of course Liana is very happy.
"Mbak Liana, how long have you been dating Arka?" suddenly Rianti asked a question. Liana was surprised to hear this.
"Mmm, that..."
"Mother likes you, Liana "Mother Arka said full of smiles.
"You are a good and simple child, Arka must have a wife like you. But don't rush to marry her, get married to each other first."
Arka's mother smiled again. Liana had no choice but to smile.
That night the celebration took place solemnly. Rio came but not with Doni. Doni reasoned that he had an appointment with his parents and Arka also understood.
When he arrived at Arka's residence, Rio was surprised by Liana's presence. Since it was Arka and Amanda's wedding day, Liana had already stolen Rio's attention.
But that night, it seemed that Rio was unaware. If there is a misunderstanding. Arka's parents thought that Liana was Arka's boyfriend. When the show was over, Rio said goodbye. Not forgetting he glanced at Liana before returning home.
"Jagain, Ka." said Rio.
"Jagain what?" ask Arka.
"My soul mate." Rio laughing.
While now Arka glanced towards Liana, she knew what Rio's saying just now.
"Be careful, bro." said Arka later.
"Sip."
Rio left that place. Amanda called suddenly.
"Yes."
"Yes." Yeah."
"I'm going to the old town."
"Ngapain?. Dianter who?"
"Dianter chauffeur, I'm shadowed by the crust of the same sausage of the day."
"And you can order an online motorcycle taxi, Man. Lots of koqs selling."
"Yes, but I want it there. Want to eat there too."
"Yes, yes. I'll be samper, yeah, I'll take Liana first."
"If you're tired, don't do it, Ka. Let me go home with the driver."
"No, I'll be samper. The driver don't tell me to leave before I get there, so you can take care of me. Ok?"
"Okay, I'm waiting for Ka."
"Yes, be careful"
"Yes." Yeah."
Arka hung up and returned to her mother who was still chatting with several people outside, including Liana.
"Where, Li?. Ready yet?" ask Arka.
Liana nodded.
"It's brought home huh, Li."
Arka's mother gave Liana a large plastic filled meal.
"A lot of ma'am?" liana noticed the food.
"It's okay. Make you eat with your friends or who's at the boarding house."
"Thank you, ma'am." said Liana later. He kissed Arka's mother's hand.
"Pa, this is Liana going home" Arka told her father. His father approached.
"Be careful on the road, son Liana."
"Yes, sir. Liana's home first sir." Liana kissed Arka's father's hand.
"What's up next?" ask mother.
"Mmm, most taxis bu in front" said Arka.
"Why not order online, let's get picked up here."
"Eee is okay ma'am, in front of me." said Arka again.
They also walked away from home.
"So what's the story, Li." asked Arka, when they were in the car.
"Mmm, much. Your mother, I live where. College is also a collaboration. There's something I can answer, there's confusion." Liana half laughed.
"I'm sorry, Li. My mom likes that."
"It's okay koq, I'm smiling."
"We take the path from the left." said Arka.
"Yes, go straight to my hostel later." said Liana later.
They talked in the car laughing. Until then, they also arrived at the Liana boarding house. Arka opened the door for the girl, and for some reason now Liana was silent looking at Arka. It was as if he had only been treated like that for the first time by a man.
Arka stretched out her hand, and Liana welcomed and accepted it. He then stood with his hands resting on Arka's.
"I'm home." said Arka later.
Liana nodded.
"Greet Amanda" said Liana.
This time Arka nodded, preparing to get into the car. And yet later,
"Rubby."
"Yetoo."
"Basar cheap chick lo."
Liana screamed as a man came and immediately hit her in the face. Arka that still exists in that place also went up pitam.
"Heh, what the fuck?"
"Rubby."
"Rubby."
Arka hit the man back. Liana yelled even more, thus inviting the attention of the hostess. They all came out and tried to separate.
"Don't you hit a fucking woman?" arka shouted at the man.
"She's my girl, up to me, right me. Is he ready?"
"Gue's new boyfriend, you're satisfied."
Arka says it immediately. With the intention that the man immediately left and no longer bother Liana.
But the man reached back to Liana and hit her many times. Arka did not stay silent, he pulled and beat Liana's boyfriend mercilessly.
Until the boarding citizens who were all women also intervened. They forcefully pull Liana's boyfriend and judge him.
"Lo dong, mas. I'm sure you know your taste. It's so rough being a guy."
The boarding house residents beat and kicked Liana's boyfriend, until he was pushed out of the fence.
"Lo cheap base, Liana. It's a guy in a car, matre lo basic. You are not a virgin, you know yourself." he cried
Liana cries, she is now in the custody of the boarding house.
"Li, are you okay?" ask Arka.
Liana shook her head. Now it is taken to the boarding terrace to be soothed.
"That was your boyfriend?" ask Arka to Liana who is still in shock.
Liana nodded while wiping her tears. One of the hostesses gave him some drinking water.
"He's been so rude that's the guy, ever since."
Liana is sobbing.
"Never change." he continued later.
"How long have you been dating?" ask Arka.
"Four years."
"Has she been like that often?" ask Arka again. Liana nodded.
"He's like that because you let him." Again Arka said.
This time Liana looked at Arka.
"If you don't want to be treated like this anymore, you have to make a decision. You're the only one who can stop all this."
Liana was downcast, all this time she was the one who always gave the man a chance. Even though he was always rude. Liana always can't be far away, with good reason.
"That's where it is, it's a long time" Amanda said as she ate the grilled sausage by the side of her driver, who she also forced to eat.
This is the third stitch that Amanda ate. The sausage is large in size. If he is normal, he should feel full. But because there was a hungry baby in her stomach, Amanda felt like she had nothing.
"Sir, eat again sir. Order again!" Amanda forced her driver.
"Udah ma'am, full. I ate it before I picked up my mom. Eat my rice field again."
"Ih, father mah. Or if it's bosen, buy another one sir!"
"Really, mom. I'm not strong enough to eat, I stay smoking first mom."
"Yes, I'm here." said Amanda. The driver then moved away to smoke.
Minutes passed, a step down from the parked car. Then the step was to climb each inch of the eastern side of the old city. The steps that used to be often rested on this land every time they went home from school.
A step that is always fixed at an angle, where his eyes can meet the eyes of someone.
Suddenly the sky darkened and rain fell, but the owner of the step undaunted. He just developed his umbrella and kept going. Indeed, this kind of atmosphere is what he wants, because it is like reminiscent of the past.
Meanwhile, Amanda's driver ran to protect the woman. Then take her to the car. Amanda stepped up, but then. I don't know why he looked at the figure he was now passing by.
The figure stepped in the cold rain. With a steady step, calm. It was as if enjoying every exposure that fell to the earth.
The driver pulled Amanda to hurry, and the woman stepped back. And the moment he turned his face away, the man turned his head. He saw Amanda slowly moving away from him.
"Degh."
His heart also shakes.
