Love Above the Heart
- End - End

All the families were gathered at a round table inside a restaurant. They were done with the dish they had just eaten. Now, the long-awaited time has arrived, where all will discuss about the marriage of Gia and Arga which is planned to be held next month.

Mr. Ratih and Mr. Anton have arrived since yesterday in Jakarta, they specifically came to discuss this with Ms. Dewi, Mama Arga.

"That means we agree that Gia and Arga's wedding will be held in Jakarta next month?" The Goddess smiled looking at everyone in front of her.

Gia just looked down because she was nervous. Arga who was sitting next to him tried to grab the hand that was on the woman's lap, and grasped it. Arga knows this may be too soon for Gia.

"Ma, I think it's too soon for Gia, we'll give her a little longer, okay?" Arga looked at Mama then turned to look at Gia. "I want you to be reckless, how ready you are!" Arga said convincingly.

Gia returned Arga's gaze, she was sure Arga was a good man. But somehow the feeling of nervousness and doubt mixed into one in his heart. He doubted, not Arga, but he doubted himself. He was afraid that Arga would say that Gia accepted all this because of her gratitude to Arga. Gia was afraid of disappointing Arga because honestly he still remembered Erick deep down.

"I-I, I'll follow the family's decision. If everything's okay, I'm sure it's for the best." Said Gia while still looking at Arga's eyes. Arga's grip on his hand felt stronger.

"Well, if you'll excuse me and Gia for a second, we need to speak with four eyes.. Om, aunt and Nissa can continue this discussion with Mama. Or if you want to add more food can also." Arga spoke politely as he looked at the four people.

"Talk, Son. You guys do need to establish good communication before getting married." Answer Mr. Anton, Gia's father.

Arga nodded and gently pulled Gia's hand to go with him, separating from the family in order to freely speak from heart to heart.

After passing through the Restaurant tables and some rooms, they arrived at the back of the Restaurant. There, there is an iron chair facing directly to the swimming pool. The pool is decorated with candles floating on it, adding a sweet and romantic impression for anyone who sees it tonight. This scene slightly relaxes the thought of Gia who was nervous earlier.

"What are you thinking?" Arga asked shortly after the two of them sat down on the chair.

Gia looked straight ahead, not looking at Arga who was talking to her. More precisely he was afraid if he looked at Arga's eyes at this time.

Gia shook her head weakly in response to Arga.

"Then, why are you like so many thoughts? Tell me the same! Try to be honest, Gia!" Arga holds both of Gia's shoulders, asking Gia to take a look.

"Ga, I honestly doubt." Reveal Gia with a vibrating voice.

"Any doubt about what? You doubted me?" Arga tried to look into Gia's eyes, looking for answers there.

"No, I doubt myself. I'm afraid of cheating on you." Gia spoke softly, her voice barely audible.

"You haven't tried it, Gia. We haven't started yet. I'm sure you won't abuse me!"

Gia breathed heavily. A speck of tears fell soaking down that smooth cheek.

"I doubt I could forget Erick and I'm afraid you can't accept that." Gia threw her gaze to the side.

Arga tried to digest Gia's words. Silence was created between the two of them.

"Listen I'm fine, Gia!" Her speech. Gia returned those serious eyes. "Me, never and never will ask you to eat Erick. I understand he'll always be in your heart." Arga paused his words while stroking Gia's cheek.

"I know your past and I accept all of it. Erick must have his own place in your heart. No papa if you can't forget him. But Erick is still your past, Gia. You still have to live in the present." Arga said at length.

"I'm just scared--"

"Stt..! You who know better what your life in the future should be like, you want to continue to live with the past or start a new life with new people." Arga's words this time were completely impregnated by Gia.

Gia nodded in agreement with Arga's statement. "I'll start, Ga..I'll try not to live in the past again."

"Yes, but that doesn't mean I forced you to eat Erick. All of you who live and you who know the most about your heart, Gi! And I accept whatever it is." Arga rubbed the tears of Gia who again continued to flow.

"After all, everything was planned by our family. I don't want to abuse them. But all decisions remain with you."

"If I refuse now, will you also be able to accept it?" Gia looked at Arga whose face changed pias as soon as Gia finished with her question just now.

Arga nodded. "I will accept it, whatever your decision. If that's the case, then your decision is to live with the past and I appreciate it." Arga raised his face and smiled stiffly in front of Gia.

"We're getting married next month, Ga." Gia's voice changed. Arga was surprised and looked at Gia in disbelief.

"Seriously?

"Huum."

Arga was flabbergasted again hearing that and his stiff smile turned into one beautifully curved smile a set with dimples that automatically appeared, making Gia also throw her sweet smile in front of the man.

They give each other an aura of happiness, Arga managed to convince Gia if life does not always have to be in the past. The best decision is one that follows your own heart. Likewise with Gia, he tried to follow the plot and asked himself, which is best for him.

Of all that he has lived so far, of all the trials of life that hit him, somehow Arga is always there every time he needs. Starting from his escape, when he had to miscarry, was held captive by Micah and as a kidney donor for Gia.

If there were more words than thanks, then surely Gia would give with joy and free to Arga. From there he felt he had not given Arga anything. Until his little heart revolted, eager to repay everything by giving love to Arga. Arga deserves it.

Erick, he'll stay in Gia's heart and Gia will never forget. But the universe does have a strong hand in Gia's meeting with Arga, so Gia consciously this time trying to restart everything with a new person without eliminating the figure of Erick. Arga is the answer to her.

Lady Dewi looked at her son who kept smiling all night, this family meeting really happened and for a long time she had not seen the son smiling like that. Arga's hand that continues to hold Gia's fingers, and his gaze on Gia make the heart of Bu Dewi feel confident if Arga has really found his happiness.

Mr. Ratih, Mr. Anton and Nissa continued to smile happily at the two brides. For some reason for Gia's parents, Arga is a good man and right to complete Gia. From the beginning of their meeting with Arga, they felt confident about the man.

Gia looked at Arga who was talking silly things to everyone in front of her. Several times they all laughed with the joke that Arga made. Arga can indeed melt the atmosphere, clever behavior. He knows when to be serious and when to joke. Gia looks happy to her family and she feels that her family has long lost a warm moment like this. Gia was completely convinced now that Arga was her end goal.

...-The End...
