"I know you'll want to keep working, live your day as usual but I'm sorry if I have another opinion" Arka said, looking at me intently.
Arka is very serious, all this time has never been me and Arka as serious as this. His intonation was firm yet and it was as if this was an order that could not be bargained anymore. Impressed to be very authoritative, I don't dare to argue or just ask. I just kept quiet.
"Tomorrow you face HRD, a month after marriage you officially resign, so that the company can immediately find a replacement that you can train from now on" Arka said again.
"OK" I said as I nodded and followed Arka's words.
"OK, OK, no suggestion or objection?" tanya Arka this time her tone back relaxed.
"No, one day you will be the head of the household, so I must obey you" I said again.
Yes, this time Arka made a decision. If I refuse, I'm afraid she'll call off the wedding. It has stopped a Love from being selfish and stubborn. I cleaned up all of our cutlery and washed it, including the pot and utensils used for cooking earlier.
"Do you want to be hugged from behind?" asked Arka who was standing next to me.
"What are you doing? It's weird" I said, shaking my head
"Who knows you want to be on TV" Arka said again and stood very close to me.
"Well done, can I take a break?" I said try to avoid it.
"You're staying here, huh? It's okay, our rooms are separate" Arka said.
"Go home, I'll work tomorrow. My uniform is at home" I said.
"It should be able to ask Rayi to help bring it, but if you refuse, it's not papa. You rest, I go first. About two hours later I returned and anterin we went home," said Arka.
...****************...
It was almost nine in the evening when I got home. Rayi immediately followed me with an impatient face. It seemed like he was carrying some very important news and had to be delivered right now.
"Where from?" ask Rayi.
"From Arka's house" I replied casually.
"Related?" rayi asked as if he could not believe it.
"Because did I forget? Just happened," I said strangely with Rayi's statement.
"You're the same Arka keep?" the tanyanya makes me curious.
"Finished eating Arka was gone, I overslept. After waking up at home," I said trying to answer as it is.
Rayi then told me that after soft, he did not go home immediately but had dinner with department friends, there was a birthday. And there Rayi saw the Clouds and the Ark. Rayi had sent a candid photo and clearly visible tense face on the face of both. I kept paying attention and it was indeed the t-shirt that Arka was wearing when she left earlier.
Rayi had heard that the clouds would try to reclaim my heart
"Awan's abroad, isn't it, Ra?" I still have a little doubt about the photo.
"That's who? A Jin that resembles a Cloud?" asked Rayi with a tone of judes.
I just kept quiet, why did they meet? Only the Arcs and Clouds know everything. Why didn't Arka talk to me about it at all when I was with him?
"I asked Arka," I said, taking my phone out of my bag.
"Or I call Awan," I said giving a new idea.
"Don't let it be a man's secret. As long as we're not at a disadvantage and you're fine, let it go" Rayi said.
"Why did you tell me that? Wear photographed all over again" I said as I shook Rayi's head.
I then told Rayi about Arka's decision to resign and move to nowhere and my plan to submit a resignation letter to HRD tomorrow. Although it was still a few months away, but time must have passed quickly. I need to get everything done right away.
"Don't you see me again, dong?" rayi's words that make me nervous.
"Where's Ra? Or you're following the move, "I'm making a suggestion with passion.
"That's a jerky, can't I come along, why try?" rayi said as he stood up and passed away.
Sad as well as it feels, all this time there has always been a loyal Rayi accompanying me. What would my life be like without Rayi? It must be quiet because there will be no more debates because of trivial things. I will not hear any more Rayi babble that is always noisy but fun. That's why he said 'Happy Fasting New Life' because everything will be completely new, living with new people, starting new habits and leaving everything here.
My daydream was crap when the phone rang and it was from the Clouds. I will look for the right opportunity to ask about his meeting with Arka earlier.
"Yes, Wan," I said as I answered the phone.
"You still want to answer my phone?" the cloud questions astonished me.
"Ehm.You don't work? It's noon there," I asked to try fishing so that the Cloud would acknowledge its current existence.
"I'm in this town from yesterday" Cloud replied and it turned out that he was telling the truth.
"Where have you been? meet who?" I'm trying to dig up information.
"Want to go to your place, meet you," said the cloud that even flicked.
I just kept quiet because I was worried that the Clouds would hope for me again even though my heart was screaming I wanted to see him too.
"But now you're at Arka's house huh? Your handler is hard to see through" said the cloud and he heard a heavy sigh.
"Kok you know?" ask me to try to hide the truth if actually I just stopped by there.
Definitely what the handler meant was Arka. But the clouds were silent and did not seem to want to talk about it. He instead told me about his kangen and his desire so that someday I could return to his embrace. He knew very well that there was no love in my heart for Arka. All just a formality to make my parents happy.
"Don't you miss Arka? You guys are together often. When was the last time you met?" like there was an opportunity when I discussed Arka, I asked that question.
"Actually I just met Arka," replied the Cloud firmly.
"What business is it?" nadaku started to panic because what Rayi was told was true.
I'm just afraid if they fight again. I also began to learn that Arka was very good at keeping secrets. He could act as if nothing had happened.
"Yes, your handler wants to rule over you" said Awan in a hateful tone.
"There's nothing like that" I said trying to defend Arka.
Why do the Clouds seem reluctant to mention the name Arka? Is that what he hates?
