"Ka, don't now meet the Anya," I said trying to refuse and suddenly Arka pulled over and stopped.
"Why?" ask Arka while putting on my seat belt. He was so close that he smelled the scent of his perfume.
"I'm not ready yet" I replied, looking down, but Arka's face was still very close to mine.
"You'll never be ready, Kas as long as you're still harboring guilt," said Arka who stunned me.
Right that Arka said and true also all the decisions that have been taken by Arka, that I should stay away from the Clouds. I should also have blocked his phone number and tried not to get in touch with the Clouds. I should be able to endure the agonizing longing later but that was the consequence I had to accept from all. This is the path of life I choose. Although my love is heavy for the Clouds, I have to live my life with Arka.
"Yes, we have dinner, yeah, find a pretty random place. It's like a real couple" Arka said with a smile.
Arka took me to a restaurant that seemed luxurious but served Nusantara cuisine. It looks very comfortable with live music. This is the favorite place of Arka because all of this is made in accordance with the concept that Arka wants. Yes, this place belongs to Arka that he built from scratch and developed with his own efforts. Although the initial capital was obtained from his parents, but according to the recognition of Arka, the capital was debt and has been repaid after running this business for approximately three years. Arka also told me that she had once invited Rayi here.
"And you sang beautiful in white and at that time Rayi was wearing white clothes" I said with a laugh.
"I forgot what I was singing at the time" said Arka, laughing.
"Rayi was crazy about you. It's amazing how girls can be like that just like you" I said trying to tease her.
"However you never go crazy about me" he replied, which turned things around
"How many girls have you brought here?" I try to deflect the conversation.
"Just Rayi and you" he replied and I knew it was honest.
Arka then told me about the brownies that Rayi brought at the time, he thought it was very delicious. He hopes Rayi makes it again for him but everything has not materialized as well. I promised to fulfill her wish this Saturday, when I was off work and Arka looked very happy.
I'm really enjoying tonight. Meals to suit my taste, pleasant atmosphere, light chatter, hearing again the chant of Arka. For a moment I felt able to forget all the problems. I feel like Arka is treating me very special tonight.
...****************...
When he almost got home, from a distance seen a car cloud parked in front of my house. Soon I contacted Rayi and according to Rayi Awan had been waiting for me since this afternoon, just a few minutes after me and Arka left the house. I looked at Arka with an anxious look hoping she could find a way out of this. The arc is like responding to the situation then pull over and stop a bit far away.
"Indeed, it's your destiny to meet the Clouds today. So how? Would you like to meet?" ask Arka but your eyes look straight at the car Awan.
"I'm not ready yet, Ka." I replied as I sat down slightly slumped in hopes of hiding from the clouds' sight.
"Sit was normal, non. If Awan sees this car he must know that you are here with me," Arka said with a chuckle and immediately I fixed my sitting position.
I could not sit quietly, the atmosphere in the car was sultry, but I felt cold sweat. My whole body also feels cold what's more my legs. Seeing your ex feels like seeing a ghost.
"Why aren't you ready?" ask Arka.
"I just don't want to hurt the clouds. He knows that we got married because we were betrothed and he still hopes we can come back" I said, bowing and trying to catch my breath.
"Yes, your car will be parked in front of Rayi's house" I said, and I don't know why I seem to have the strength to be able to face the clouds.
The car then goes into Rayi's yard. I tried to catch my breath just before getting out of the car, as Rayi peered through the window curtains. Maybe Rayi didn't want to interfere so she just monitored from inside the house.
"You come down waiting for me to open the door, yes" said Arka and rushed down after removing my seatbelt.
The door opened, and I went down. Arka then clasped my finger as soon as I got out of the car. Her dazzling smile that was given to me was a little calming.
"Your hands are this cold" Arka said with a laugh.
I followed Arka's relaxed footsteps towards the house. The clouds stood up when we saw our arrival. His face looked unhappy let alone seeing Arka holding me. His gaze was filled with jealousy, as if he wanted to finish off Arka right then and there. Fear began to cloud my feelings,. I'm afraid the Clouds and Arka are fighting like they have. Herannya I even tighten my fingers that had been linked to Arka's fingers. It's as if in Arka's hands all my protection is stored away.
Arka instead greeted the Clouds kindly, still calling the Clouds 'commander' while the Clouds ignored him. It is clear that the clouds are not willing and never sincere with what is in front of his eyes.
"I just want to talk to Love, you don't have to interfere" Awan said very rudely pointing at Arka's face.
"Where are the house keys? You guys just talk I'll wait inside" said Arka, raising her hand at me.
"There's nothing else we need to talk about, Ka." I said as I tried to keep Arka's hand from releasing me and I held my body against Arka's back.
"Or I go home, you two speak together to be more free," said Arka again who I think is not the right solution.
"Don't dong, Ka. If you go home, I'll come with you" I started whining to Arka like a child asking to buy a toy.
The clouds looked increasingly emotional and seemed fed up with everything. But I couldn't stand to look at him at all. I kept hiding behind Arka's back.
"Kas, get it done now, if it's like this forever you won't be able to calm down" Arka said.
For a long time I was silent, none of the three of us spoke. I was afraid, the more I spoke, the more anger the Clouds became. But I'm trying to understand why clouds are like that. Just like me, his love is still intact for me.
"I just want to make sure, do you love Arka?" tanya Cloud broke the silence and instantly tore the heart.
Want me to scream, I still love the Clouds. Until now my heart still belongs to him, it hurts to know this love can no longer be united. Right now there is no room for love for any man, my heart is just a Cloud. Only tears speak and the silence of the screaming heart.
"If Love does not love me, but I care and will always keep it until I die" said Arka.
"I have nothing to do with you" said Awan, pushing Arka's shoulder.
"But the love from earlier did not want to talk to you," said Arka with a firm tone.
The clouds clenched their hands and swung towards Arka. I immediately pulled Clouds and stood in front of him and the hard blow hit my eyes
My gaze is twitching. It felt like Arka was holding my body back from falling and my world was dark.
