Love Above the Heart
between Erick and Arga -

*pov. Gia

I just went through a curette process. The fetus in my womb cannot be saved. I feel weak and sick. Pain in my heart and especially in my heart.

I lamented my fate, My fetus that has just turned the age of less than 15 weeks or less than 4 months, I can not argue anymore to stay alive and grow.

I regret my encounter with Erick which brought disaster. Suddenly, I hated Erick. But on the other side of my heart, I love that man so much. I was crying sobbing.

I realized I had made a terrible mistake. I even made myself lose the fetus I was supposed to protect.

I shouldn't have run away when I saw Erick, but I had to accept the fact that we weren't together and Erick had found my replacement.

Wait, is that really Erick's special woman now? Is he her lover?

I can't deduce anything just by looking at it.

How is it different from Lyra? Who immediately assumed I was taking hers from just what she saw. Nah! Nah! I'm not like Lyra. I have to straighten out what I had in mind when I saw Erick.

And if Erick has explained the truth, I also have to be ready to accept the reality of whatever happens.

Including if indeed that woman was Erick's choice to replace my position.

And mychildren? Do I just have to take it for granted?

It seems like it should be. I need to strengthen my heart even more now.

I can't blame Erick for my condition either. Because Erick actually never knew that I was pregnant and pregnant with his child.

Maybe this is the best path for me and my son. Doesn't someone's life control it? And death is also a package of life?

I try to lift my heart. Because I realized, right now I have no one to strengthen me.

I saw Arga come into my room. She looked at me who was still crying and sobbing as I remembered Eric in my memory.

Arga approaching. Sit beside my bed.

"I'm sorry about what happened to you" Arga told me.

I looked at Arga. Arga seemed sincerely concerned about my condition. I reflexively hugged Arga who was beside me. I also cried in Arga's chest.

I felt like Arga was shocked at my treatment of her. But I don't care what he thinks anymore. Because right now I really need someone to strengthen my heart and a place to lean on.

I felt Arga rubbing my head gently. Somehow Arga's treatment made me feel comfortable in his arms.

The masculine scent from his body was smelled in my sense of smell. I felt calm and reluctant to let go of the hooks of my hands that encircled her waist.

I immediately neutralized my feelings. I pulled myself from the chest of the Arga field. I convinced myself that this happened because I only needed someone to strengthen me at this moment.

"I'm sorry I've been troubling you, thank you so much" I said on the sidelines of my crying that had not subsided.

I see now Arga's view is a little different to mine. His usually indifferent gaze, now looked worriedly at me. That look was full of big question marks.

I impeached. I understand he must be feeling confused now and not know where to start asking.

Arga was silent for a while like digesting my words. Until he finally spoke

"Here you go, don't think about me. Better just focus on yourself. Hmm?" Say Arga very gently.

The Arga in front of me is now very different from the Arga I first met when I picked up Miss Dewi the other day.

I can't believe this is true Arga. Arga who is indifferent, indifferent and does not care about others. The one in front of my eyes looks like he's not the one who used to be.

"I'm out first yeah, I want to ask the doctor how long you'll be treated here."

"Have you had dinner? I'll buy it for you!" Added.

I just remember I haven't had dinner at all, because I just had a snack at Mona's bridal shower, Nila's daughter. There were a few mouthfuls that went into my stomach.

My stomach feels hungry but I don't have the appetite to eat anymore.

"I don't have an appetite. I-i-"

"You should eat yes, so that your body is fresh again as before" replied Arga cutting my speech.

I just nodded resignedly as I had no more energy to argue with Arga. I saw Arga rise and pass from before me.

*Pov Erick

I felt uneasy in the car to the hotel where I was staying.

I turned around, headed back to the cafe where I met Gia earlier.

I parked my car properly in the parking lot. And I'm gonna go inside the cafe.

I went to the table where Gia was sitting looking at me and Micah. Turns out the table was booked for a private event and I couldn't sit there.

Actually my goal was not to sit there, but I wanted to ask anyone on the show who could tell me about Gia.

I hesitated to approach a woman who seemed to be the center of attention because it seemed like this was her show.

Until finally a middle-aged woman approached me.

"You're Mona's friend?" Ask.

"no, mom. I'm looking for someone who's been attending the event here."

Mom was like thinking and weighing what she had in mind. But I'm pretty sure this mom must know Gia.

"Include mom, my name is Erick" I said, introducing myself and extending my hand.

"I'm Nila, are you looking for Gia?" Guess it.

Surely my guess is that Nila's mother knows Gia.

"Yes mom, I'm looking for him. Do you know where she is now?"

Madam Nila was silent while thinking like before.

"It's mom." I said while showing a picture of me and Gia on my phone. I wanted to convince Miss Nila that Gia and I were so close that she didn't have to think too long to tell me where Gia was.

I saw the expression of Miss Nila who was flabbergasted by seeing my friendly photo and Gia was wefie on my phone.

He covered his mouth with a palm as if thinking.

"You, Gia's husband? Have you returned from abroad?" Ask.

Without thinking, as fast as lightning I nod my head. I don't want to ask you about Nila's question that actually makes me confused. I want to know where Gia is as soon as possible. So I do not refute the words of Miss Nila in the least.

"Hahaha how the hell are you? Masa'your wife contracted where you don't know"

Said Miss Nila who is now starting to get familiar with me.

"It just so happens that I'm not here either ma'am, the address that Gia sent to my phone was lost when my phone broke yesterday. And for two days I called Gia's number but I couldn't" I wrote up the story.

"Jeez kasian really you want to meet his wife just hard like in soap opera until waiting for episode 100 just met. Haha"

Madam Nila laughed at the confused me.

I was just grinning to show my teeth.

"Oh yes, this is also we want to go home. You just come with us. Later we go home also must pass through the rented house Gang." said Ms. Nila still with a smile on her lips.

"Good ma'am" I said according to.

I also sat waiting for an event that soon seemed to be over.

****

After my car followed Nila's car in front. Not long ago Nila ma'am got off his car that had been pulled over on the side of the road.

Ms. Nila walked a little and approached my car in the back. He knocked on the car window. Opened it too.

"Gia's contract in that alley, you'll be there later. His rented house is the end" he said from behind the window of my car.

Miss Nila's explanation I can understand. I also thanked him a lot. While I was driving my car into Gia's rented alley.

My car stopped right in front of the first rented house, because to get inside could not be passed by the car.

I went down and walked a little towards Gia's contract. Several times I knocked on the door but there was no answer from inside.

I looked inside through the window, but it seemed like Gia was not at home.

I saw the clock on my wrist. Shows at 23:15 Wib.

"Where are you, baby? It's late" my mind.

I don't want to lose track of Gia again this time. I decided to sit on a wooden chair in front of the house. Waiting Gia.

Gia had finished eating assisted by Arga at the hospital. The night is very late. Gia was allowed to go home tomorrow morning as her condition was still very weak.

Gia decided to sleep, but her gaze headed towards Arga.

"If you want to go home, go home. I can take care of myself" Gia said weakly to Arga

Arga who was playing her pomsel immediately put her phone on the table when she heard Gia make a sound. He looked at Gia.

"I still want to be here. We'll be home together tomorrow morning."

"All right, it's up to you."

"Rest. Don't think about what makes you sad"

Gia just silently did not want to answer Arga's words. He also decided to sleep.

Arga also arranged his position to sleep on the sofa. Take a sofa pillow for his headboard. But he undoes his intention for slonjoran because he sees Gia who seems to be falling asleep immediately.

Arga moved from his place, approaching Gia. He looked at the woman who was really asleep.

Arga raises the blanket to the limit of Gia's chest. He was standing next to Gia. Look deeper again. He smiled looking at that face.

Arga rubbed his face rough, then returned to the sofa to sleep.

💠💠💠💠💠

"Are you awake?" Ask Arga to Gia who looks to rub her eyes.

"Hmm, can I go home now? I don't feel right here."

Arga scratched his non-itchy head. He let out his distinctive smile that always displayed dimples on his cheeks.

"Why smile?" Gia asked who saw Arga smiling.

"It's okay, you said you didn't feel at home here. But you slept really well last night and even woke up bad luck. Is your waking hours at this time? It's enough daylight for a woman's waking hours." Arga said at length.

Gia did not blink looking at Arga who had just finished his speech. According to Gia, it was Arga's longest sentence to Gia all along.

"Why?" Now Arga asked when she saw Gia's expression.

"E, that.a, me? it's okay" replied Gia tergugu because she felt caught paying attention to Arga to dumbstruck.

Arga silent. Gia was silent. The room was silent with two people staring at each other with their minds.

"Yes, we're home now. I'll help you with all your stuff. Replied Arga broke the stiffness between them just a moment ago.

Erick awakens when the sunlight blinds his sleeping face outside the house. Exactly in front of Gia's rented house.

Erick looked at his watch. It's 08:15 wib. He took a deep breath and exhaled when he saw no signs of Gia's return.

"Didn't he come home all night? Where is he really?" Inner Erick.

Erick stood looking around him, the environment of Gia's rented house was quite crowded. It was evident that many people passed by and passed by Erick with a smile from their lips.

"I'm sorry her husband neng Gia huh?" Ask a mother.

Erick smiled clumsily but he finally nodded.

"Does everyone here think Gia already has a husband?" Erick said in his heart.

"Neng Gia where is mas? Her husband is not home? Ask the mother again.

"Gia has business at his brother's house, ma'am, I didn't tell him he wanted to go home yesterday" Erick told a lie.

"Oh, would you like a surprise? Hehe"

Erick just smiled in response to the mother's question who didn't know when it was coming.

"Maybe be home soon. He is usually never like this. Always at home with Gia. Never been anywhere. Most stuck to the market"

Erick just heard the mother talking.

"Yes, I'm sorry"

"Please ma'am" Erick replied again.

Erick stared at the mother's departure as his eyes also saw a black Porsche Panamera entering the same area where he parked his rental car.

Erick saw a man coming down from behind the driver's seat door. The man was wearing a white t-shirt and dark blue jeans. He opened the glasses attached to the base of his nose, then draped the origin on the collar of his shirt.

The man circled around the car towards the passenger seat door and he opened the car door.

And what it looks like is a beautiful young woman who is much loved by Erick. He is Gia.

Gia was still wearing the dress she wore last night. That proves he didn't come home at all to change clothes after his departure from the cafe last night.

Erick continued to watch the two humans who had now walked towards him with Gia embracing the man's neck from the side. They were completely unaware of Erick's whereabouts.

Erick's clenched hand was very strong looking at the scene before his eyes. He was eager to break the arm of the man who was walking beside Gia because the man was holding onto Gia's slender waist.

Erick's face was already flushed with anger. He was eager to run and beat up the man who was almost in front of him now.

...1...

...2...

...3...

...Bugg!!!...

Erick punched Arga in the face with all his strength. He could no longer hold back his emotions when Arga and Gia were right in front of his eyes.

Gia who embraced Arga because she felt her condition was still weak and had to walk limping due to a sudden curette last night, almost toppled because of Erick's punch to Arga, which Gia made her body support.

Arga keeps his body balanced from Erick's sudden attack. He held her back so that she and Gia would not fall.

"What the fuck are you, Erick!" Shouted Gia in a limp voice, before Erick rained down on Arga with another punch.

Erick straightened his slightly bent body from hitting Arga just now. Erick undoes his intention to again beat Arga mercilessly when he hears Gia's voice.

Gia thought Arga would reciprocate Erick's treatment back then. But Gia was wrong.

"Are you okay?" Again the words came out of Arga's mouth asking Gia. It was Gia who should have asked her condition after being hit by Erick.

Gia looked at the corner of Arga's lips which were tarred by Erick's actions.

Gia held back her piled up anger towards Erick. Because given the rented environment that would definitely be crowded if the three of them discussed this discussed the issue.

"Arga! Come inside. I'll treat your wound"

Erick is flabbergasted at Gia's words not for him but for the man Erick has crowned his Rival.

Arga stepped into the contract with his distinctive style that was indifferent.he passed Erick, then passed Gia who stood in front of the door.

"There's something I want to ask. Not here. Come inside!" Gia said to Erick.

Gia enters the house and is followed by Erick. The three of them are inside.

A state of silence with a hot atmosphere in the hearts of all three.

"I'll take the medicine box first. The tip of your lip is hurt" Gia told Arga.

Erick silently watched Gia who was treating Arga's wounds as a result of his actions. He wanted to get angry and protest, but he still wanted to talk to Gia. He's afraid of getting Gia out of here before they talk at all. So Erick decided to keep quiet.

Arga felt Gia's hand touching the tip of her lips using cotton and alcohol. The pain from Alcohol was not comparable to Arga's annoyance to the man who had hit him.

Arga wants to take that blow. But it seems he would be very selfish if he did it in front of Gia whose condition is in recovery. So Arga abandoned his intentions and focused more on Gia's condition.

Somehow Arga was suddenly grateful for Erick's punch which made him get this close again to Gia. Arga's heart beat fast again as his blood continued to beat like it was being pumped.

"Already" said Gia ended his treatment of Arga.

"I should go home, because I have no business here" Arga said.

"No, you're here" replied Gia.

Again Erick was flabbergasted by Gia's words.

"What-what? We want to talk about us. Why should there be him?" Tanya Erick did not accept.

"Have you forgotten that you and I are no longer us?"

Gia's words were not questions but statements that shocked Erick and invited a glimpse of Arga's smile.

"But baby, ak-"

"Stop! If you don't want Arga to be here. Then there won't be any talk between you and me"

"OK fine. What do you want to ask? Let me explain" Erick bargained.

"I want to ask, why are you in this town?"

"I'm looking for you"

"The answer is honest!"

"I'm looking for you, Gia. How could I lie to you! I never did!"

Gia took a deep breath while exhaling it slowly.

"Where do you know I'm here?"

"I remember this is the city of your dreams! Which you will come to. And it turns out I was right, you're here"

Gia looked at Erick in disbelief. How could Erick still remember Gia ever saying that.

Arga was interested in their discussion. He was initially ignorant as usual but long ago he sharpened his hearing. (Kepo also Arga turns out)

"Who was that woman you were with last night?

"Him? He's a nobody. He's the one I helped. And he promised to help me find you, baby"

Arga glared to hear Erick constantly calling Gia affectionately. At first he was ordinary. But for a long time he felt unacceptable.

Arga wanted to say don't call Gia that. But he has what rights over Gia.

"Don't call me baby!!!" Gia said a little screamed.

Erick and Arga were surprised to see Gia's angry expression. But after that Arga instead smiled again briefly because the words of Gia just represented his heart.
