Love Above the Heart
- With Arga -

It's the afternoon after Arga and Gia's return from the cafe.

Gia enters Arga's car and sits quietly in her position. He was very pleased with the cooperation with Micah. This was a good start for Gia and her efforts.

Arga glanced at his side at a glance. Seeing Gia who was smiling to herself with her mind.

Arga wanted to make a sound to break the silence between the two, but the intention was undo hearing Gia's cell phone ring, and the call was immediately answered by Gia quickly.

Arga tried to steal what Gia was talking about through the phone connection.

Somehow Arga feels like he is now a hardline follower Gia, who is very cool and curious about everything that concerns Gia including her personal affairs though.

"Hallo, Rick?" Gia answered Erick.

"Darling, I got an answer from my mom. You come back here!"

Gia looked silently listening and there was no answer from her mouth, occasionally Gia's eyes glanced at Arga who was next to her. Talk about personal issues in front of Arga.

"I'm on the road again. Just a little more house. We'll talk about that later." Gia answered Erick across the line.

"Where are you from?"

"Later to tell ya."

"OK baby. You're careful on the road"

"Yes" replied Gia instantly turning off the call on her phone.

Gia stared out the car window, the air was still very cool even though the rain had stopped. The road is starting to get crowded with vehicles. Maybe because a lot of people are heading home, because the weekend is over.

"Who?" Tanya Arga broke the silence.

"Huh?"

"Who did that call you?"

"Repo!" Gia replied with a smile mocking Arga.

Arga shook his head slowly, he was astonished by his own behavior. He usually doesn't want to know other people's business.

"Tomorrow I'll go back to Jakarta. You're fine here!" Pinta Arga on Gia.

Gia turned her eyes to Arga after hearing Arga's words.

Gia's face was clearly showing her surprise. But he refused to talk.

"Why?" Ask Arga again.

"Why are you? Why would you talk to me like that?"

Arga commented on the smile on his lips while staying focused on the street in front of him.

"I'm not making small talk, it's purely my message to you, to keep you in good shape here"

"Why?"

"Why what?"

"Ck, why should I think about my condition? I'm like a girlfriend!"

Arga stepped on the brake suddenly hearing Gia's words. He was not focused on driving. The car stopped instantly. Gia could have said so in front of Arga. It makes Arga feel nervous.

"What the hell, Ga! I'm surprised to know!" Gia said as her hand reflexively hit Arga's shoulder next to her.

Getting the treatment instead of making Arga continue the journey, instead making the concentration of Arga seemed to fade instantly.

"Ga?" Urged Gia.

"What?" Suddenly Arga was dizzy with the pounding in his heart.

"You why the hell? When do you want to stop here?"

Arga stared at the street, his car engine still on even though it stopped right on the street. Fortunately, the area that is now their existence is a little quiet from other vehicles.

Arga regulated his breathing repeatedly. It seems like it hasn't been like this for a long time. Why being around Gia is like this makes it seem like it's lost control.

I want Arga to shout at Gia to be quiet. Because he's neutralizing his burning feelings. But again Gia even pushed slowly Arga's shoulders, trying to resuscitate Arga, so that Arga quickly run the car.

"Oh God. Didn't he know that his treatment even further hindered the journey home!" Inner Arga in heart as her eyes glanced at Gia's hand that was pushing against her shoulder.

"If you don't walk too, I'm going down this!" Threat Gia.

Arga closed his eyes, resuscitating himself. Then he started to focus on driving.

"Gi?"

"What else?

"Which one is your husband?"

"Ck! That's again"

"I'm serious, Gia. I want to know!"

"I told you that none of them were my husband."

"Well, that's what I know. You said it!"

"Because?"

"That's why I want to know which husband you are! If it's not between the two of them, then there's someone else who's your husband!"

Gia was silent while playing her nails. He doesn't know what else to answer now with Arga. But he also realized that Arga must know a little reality. Because Arga already knew that Gia had experienced a miscarriage.

"If you want to know, I'll tell you later. But not now."

"Why?"

"We wait until we get home. I'm afraid you'll brake suddenly again" said Gia while grinning the horse.

Finally, Arga focused on driving to quickly get to Gia's residence.

****

Arriving at Gia's house, they sat in the house.

Lyra seemed to be playing the phone in the front room, Nico was not there. I don't know where his whereabouts are now.

Gia wants to ask Lyra but she undoes it considering that Arga is still in the air waiting for Gia's explanation of 'husband' earlier.

It seems Arga will still sue Gia for clarification if she feels she has not gotten the real answer from Gia's mouth.

It's getting dark. The night sign has already taken over the role of replacing the afternoon.

"Can I ask you something?" Ask Gia to Arga while giving a canned drink to Arga.

"Still" replied Arga receiving the drink and nodding in agreement.

"You and Micah had a previous relationship?"

"Nothing. Just a college friend. Why?"

"No, I just want to know. Don't I want to know a little bit about you?" Ask Gia again.

"Don't do a little, a lot is okay!"

"It's not like you want to know about my life. So to break even I must know your life too! Fair right?" Gia cengennesan's.

"Hmm, so you want to tell me about you if I tell you about me too. Is that?"

Gia nodded in agreement.

"Okay, so I used to have a fiancee. He was friends with Micah. The three of us were one campus before." Obviously Arga with his leisure.

"Ohhh" Gia could only listen to Arga's words. But suddenly the soul of his kepo wants to be satisfied.

"I think Micah was once your girlfriend! Hehe. Where's your fiancee? When did you get married?"

Arga is seen drinking his drink before answering Gia's question.

"Cancel Gi's marriage, not yet her soul mate!"

"Loh why? You must have done it"

"Not Gia. Not meant to be together yet"

Gia mangosteen heard Arga's reply.

"Name Citra, we were just meant to be engaged. She had an accident three years ago and she finally left me for good"

"Huh?" Gia was flabbergasted to hear Arga's story.

"I'm sorry, Ga. I didn't mean to open your old wounds!"

"No, what Gia. I've already let him down. After all, because of the accident, I knew that he had been cheating."

"meaning?"

"Yes, he was in an accident with his cheating man." Said Arga while he was singing his lips.

"Oh my God" said Gia in shock as she covered her mouth with her hands.

"I used to be devastated considering Citra's departure, especially considering her affair, heartache is more dominant than loss." explained Arga.

"You're okay, right? I'm sorry. If it makes you more hurt and sad do not discuss it again!"

"Hahahahaa" Arga laughed loudly. Gia was astonished.

"I'm not sad anymore, Gi. There is you now as a medicine for my sorrow"

"Cih.. pede you! I want to be a medicine. Yes kali!!, meaning I only needed pain doang dong!" Gia.

Hearing Gia's words made Arga stare at her smile.

"So you want it to take all the time, right?"

"Yes dong. I want to be considered like water. Let it not be luxurious but it is needed every day" said Gia proudly.

"If I make my oxygen, what?"

Arga paused his speech to see Gia's reaction. Gia even glared at Arga.

"Yes, it can be needed at any time. If none of you were my oxygen, I could die asphyxiating. Hahaha" added Arga interspersed with laughter seeing Gia throw away her face.

"You don't carelessly talk, Ga! You wouldn't want to have oxygen like me if you knew what my life was like"

"What is your life? Dong's story! He said be fair!"

Gia thought carefully, she wanted to tell Arga just what was really going on with her condition. Because he didn't want Arga to expect him more later.

Gia wants to decide Arga's expectations by telling Arga the truth, that Gia doesn't deserve anything from Arga including feelings.

After all, this had to do with his own disgrace. Gia was weighing up her decision to tell Arga.

"Hmm, I'm not married yet, Ga! I was pregnant out of wedlock. And I defend my womb against my will. That's why I'm here now." Gia was embarrassed.

Arga fell silent, digesting Gia's words. At first he was shocked but he did not want to immediately make a sound and show his surprise.

Arga nods indicating he understands what Gia means.

"May I know who that guy is?" Ask Arga.

"The man who should be responsible for your pregnancy!" Arga again.

Gia stood up and walked up to look at the sky. His hand gripped the buffer pole that was in the patio. He turned his back to Arga who was sitting.

Gia doesn't want to see Arga's face. He's too embarrassed to see Arga's face right now. However, Gia is now telling and opening her Aib to Arga consciously.

Gia was surprised by himself, somehow he could tell a story and open with Arga. But He and Arga had not known him for too long.

"That man is Erick." Gia's confession finally came out of her lips.

"If you don't know a guy named Erick. He was the guy who hit you back then!" Gia confirmed the answer.

Arga growls remembering Erick. Erick hit him. Erick looks very possessive. It turned out that he had a special relationship with Gia.

"Do you love her?" Finally the words came out of Arga's mouth.

Arga just wants to make sure that Gia and Erick love each other, not because Erick harassed Gia or anything like that that caused Gia to get pregnant.

"Erick is the love that I put on my heart" Gia replied with tears in her eyes given Erick, Erick's treatment and of course, Erick's family.

All the fun and sad events were swirling around in Gia's head. Erick's attitude that can't cover his feelings.

Gia realized Erick was the same as him. Erick's love is so great for him. Gia feels unable to hear Erick's explanation later about the blessing that Erick is fighting for.

"Then why are you staying here? And where is he now, Gia? why aren't you guys together?" asked Arga in surprise and tried to hold tightness in his chest over Gia's answer about her love for Erick.

"Erick was fighting for our relationship in front of his parents, Ga!"

Now Arga understands and understands, that the relationship between Gia and Erick the problem is only one.

Arga stood up, walking slightly towards Gia who was leaning on the pole.

"If you are sure of him, hang on a little more!" Arga's words strengthened Gia as she stood right beside Gia.

"I'm sure of him, Ga. But I'm not sure her parents want to bless us!"

"Then? if you still don't get that blessing, what?"

"meaning Erick isn't my soul mate, Ga!"

Arga catches Gia's pessimistic attitude from her answer. But Gia's attitude was understandable. Gia's a woman, she doesn't have much to prove in front of Erick's parents.

Even her condition, which once contained Erick's child, could not be considered proof of her sacrifice to Erick in the eyes of the Erick family.

"You're patient! may all your hopes be in accordance with the destiny outlined!" said Arga while patting Gia's shoulder gently.
