MARRY MY LOVER'S BEST FRIEND
CHAPTER 62

Arka's breath felt warm around my neck and gave me goosebumps. His hands were also getting tightly coiled around my waist.

"What's the conversation with Mbok Welas? Usually you are easily influenced by people's speech and then like to change your mind," said Arka while giving a kiss on my neck and I try to avoid.

"It's okay, just discussing our relationship that Mbok Welah said without love," I said trying to say honestly.

"Is that really what it is?" said Arka that I can't deny at all.

"Kas, I don't know how I can love you. But that doesn't mean I'm free to treat you as I please. You just look so uncomfortable, I don't want to be like that" said Arka who slowly let go of me.

"But I'm starting to feel weird if you don't hug me or hold my hand as we walk" I finally ventured to say that.

Arka then hugged me with a smile. Guilt began to envelop my feelings, why I have not been able to return the sincerity of his love. I leaned my head against Arka's chest, I knew, this was the safest and most comfortable place for me right now.

"Oh yes, Monday I have a promise with a business partner, there is a tender to talk about. You come, yes" said Arka while stroking my hair that was just a shoulder.

"No, I'll be bored. Disturb," I said, refusing it.

"It's in a villa in the mountains, surely you like. All of us honeymoon. " said Arka convinced me.

"Yes, I'm coming" I said, smiling at him.

"Yes, I want to zoom meeting first maybe a bit long. You walk outside, acquaintance with neighbors, so do not get bored" said Arka giving advice.

...****************...

It was still very early even at four o'clock when Arka woke me up and asked me to take a shower and get ready. But Arka had to prepare some files first. Yes, since moving here, his office is in this house, all done through zoom meetings, there is indeed some time he will go to the office but not every day.

Mbok Welas has taken the trouble to move our luggage from the room to the car. At first, I wanted to help but Mbok Welas asked me to immediately get ready so as not to be late.

Before leaving Mbok Welas forced us to have breakfast first and brought us his own steamed brownies. What time Mbok Welas wake up, until this hour all is neat and we just enjoy. However, after breakfast, Arka asked me to wait a little while longer because the zoom meeting was not finished.

"Dik Arka was the youngest child and was almost 10 years adrift with her brother. He is the darling of all" Mbok Welas said with glaring eyes and a proud smile.

"Yes" I replied briefly because I didn't know what to say.

"For the sake of his love for you, he overcame his ego, never again spoiled, even he was a momong. Why is your heart still not open? Is there another man you love?" the words of Mbok Welas that again seemed to slap me.

I just looked down, not daring to look into the eyes of Mbok Welas. Because the last question from mbok Welas is the answer. Unconsciously my eyes dewdrop. It was bad for me even though Arka had given up a lot.

"All is ready? Let's go" said Arka, who was standing next to me.

Arka then shone and kissed Mbok Welas hand and mbok Welas kissed his left and right cheeks. Just like when Arka said goodbye to her biological parents. I think this is amazing. Not to shrink the profession Mbok Welas, but like that Arka appreciates and loves Mbok Welas regardless of status. I was then moved to do the same with Arka.

"The twelve is like a mother to me. We also have to respect and love Mbok Welas as a child" said Arka who touched my heart.

Traveling further and further, I began to get dizzy with the uphill and winding road. But over time the air since it began to friendly touch the skin.

"Left. right I see aja, a lot of cypress aaa aaaa," my singing excited to see the scenery.

"Great yes you," said Arka who made me undo the intention to continue my singing.

"Can sing a fake version of it, really pitch control her everywhere" Arka said with a laugh.

"Yes, who is a singer without an auto tone," I replied accordingly.

"Pity your children later if taught to sing with you," said Arka with a laugh getting louder.

"Yes you are the father, who sings. You're the one who taught me," I said beginning to despair

Why are we suddenly talking about children? It is like a happy couple planning the future of their home. What ruined my mind this time? We are indeed a couple and honestly I am happy to live the household with a relaxed and fun Archa. Just wait for the time when my heart is knocked and then open to welcome his love Arka.

"Kas, how did you suddenly shut up? Why?" tanya Arka broke my daydream.

"No papa" I said as usual.

"Doubt that I'm the father of children?" arka's question is very damning to my heart.

"It's not so.. .. ..,"

"Are you not ready?" cut off the Ark that silenced me again.

I know, Arka will understand without me explaining. But what I don't know is how hard Arka is to deal with this situation. For a moment, the words of Mbok Welas before we left earlier. Then when can I compensate by defeating my ego? This marriage is not a game, there must be a clear purpose. Other than being devoted to parents, then what is my purpose for myself? I always imagined having cute kids who would fill my wedding days but I myself did not know how to start with Arka.

"Udah up, let's go down," said Arka who had opened the car door, either when he stopped and went down.

"Makasi ya mas," I said a little relieved because you finally arrived at the destination.

The villa we went to belonged to the Arka family. Here where their families gather occasionally when there is a right time or a certain event. Two-story villa that looks magnificent. We went into one of the rooms and there was a wedding photo of us there. Room with white shades.

"Why be quiet?" asked Arka while opening the window and letting the heat of the sun enter the room

"I'm sleepy, usually let me not drowsy I sing but there was a competition jury that rese," I said making up so that we did not return to the topic.

"Yes, you sleep first, let me take care of our luggage" said Arka.

"But it's so cold, you know" I said, looking at the fur of my romance standing in the cold and I was wearing only a T-shirt and a knee-length skirt.

"The temperature is raised dong," said Arka while taking out a bedcover and bedsheet set from the closet.

"Wear what?" I guess I really don't know.

"Remote AC dong is on the table," said Arka and my eyes looked for the AC remote.

I realized there was no table in this room and no AC. Jeez, this cool and cool atmosphere is not because of AC but natural mountain air. I then glanced at Arka with a sharp look and Arka laughed because once again she managed to fool me.

"Udah, the bed kept a blanket so as not to get cold," Arka said as she walked out to pick up the items that were still in the car.

I then rushed to install bed linen and pillowcases and clean the room so that it is comfortable to occupy. We'll be here for a week although Arka's business may only take three days to complete. I also checked the bathroom and it turned out that the water was smooth and there was also hot water. Fortunately, if I could not freeze or maybe decided not to take a shower instead of cold.

I then looked out the window. I rubbed my eyes to make sure the familiar figure was outside the window. My heart is beating fast. There's no mistaking Sophie, Chloe and Cloud. What are they doing here?
