I reported to Arka what I heard. Arka even laughed hearing my words about Mbok Welas. I just knew that Mbok Welas turned out to be very meritorious in this family. When he was young and wandering and did not have anything, Mbok Welas who took care of Pak Surya by giving food, clothing and shelter for free. Actually Mbok Welas did all that selflessly. He only empathizes because his eldest son also wanders and hopes that there are good people who will do the same to his son. Actually Mbok Welas is not a maid, rather she chose to be a housewife in the family of Mr. Surya. When Pak Surya was successful and invited him to stay at his home, Mbok Welas refused to enjoy everything for free and Mbok Welas chose to take care of Aditya, his brother Arka and Arka. That is why Arka is very spoiled for Mbok Welas because Mbok Welas is like his own grandmother. The extraordinarily noble-hearted weldback suddenly appeared in front of the door while wailing as usual and quickly stepped closer to us.
"Si Lopi wants to stay here, he said he wants to help Dik Arka work from home" said Mbok Welas half-whispering.
"Don't he have to intern at the office huh Mbok?" I also whispered.
"Surely he's here to disturb Dik Arka. You guys are on the hunt now to move to Patemen, but do not let Lopi know," suggested Mbok Welas who was immediately agreed by Arka.
"Bok, cook us mama papa?" refuse to feel bad about my in-laws.
"Udah hand it over to Mbok Welas. You guys just keep moving, there's a half-hour street night train," said Mbok Welas.
Like a thief in his own house, Arka and I then sneak through the back door so as not to be caught by anyone. Mbok Welas made sure that we were safe. Mbok Welas also promised to tell us that Lovely followed le town so we could go back home. I feel relieved because there is Mbok Welas who really helped me keep a Lovely from my household. My heart laughed with satisfaction, Mbok Welas is indeed amazing. Funny indeed imagine how disappointed Lovely was when his plan fell apart. He doesn't know who my backingan is, don't expect Lovely to just take Arka away from me. He also needs to know that I married Arka because of the wishes of the Arka family, so there is no way they will let our household fall apart. There are many who are ready to fight for us.
"Mas, but I don't have a change of clothes in the apartment, how do I keep skincare?" I complained to Arka when we were sitting on the train.
"Later to buy. Anyway since when the hell are you restless because of skincare," asked Arka because I do tend to be lazy to take care of facial skin.
"Since I've seen Lovely glow, I have to be able to glow, shine, shimmering, splendid," I said excitedly.
"You're jealous of Lovely?" ask Arka while poking my nose.
"No, just in case. Let Lovely know who he's competing with" I said proudly.
"Well, whatever it is and whatever it is to me you remain a winner" Arka said and it was very comforting and encouraging to me.
We stopped by the office for a while to pick up a car so it was easy for us to travel. Arka invited me to a luxury mall to buy clothes but I refused, I prefer to buy at my subscription store, the price is cheap but the model is not tacky. It doesn't depend on the price, it depends on who is wearing it. Clothes are like a soul mate, will look suitable if it fits our body. My phone rang and it was from Mbok Welas.
"Have you reached nduk? " ask Mbok Welas while whispering.
"Here, this is shopping. I didn't bring a change of clothes" I replied casually
"Mbok Welas said what yank?" ask Arka while flipping back the bra in front of her.
"Yes, tell me that Lovely is waiting for her to come home, it's still closed" I said, and I started to feel uncomfortable seeing Arka in the women's underwear
"Take it for granted?" asked Arka and this time she started going crazy trying on the bra she was holding.
"What are you doing anyway?" I said while shaking Arka's hand.
"Just try, if it's convenient I want to buy," said Arka while grinning.
I left Arka alone there. Shame I am the same behavior that I think falls into the category of obscene. But in my heart I laughed also with his snickering. Soon we finished the shopping because the store was about to close. With tired bodies, we finally arrived at the apartment. It feels really relieved to meet the mattress because my body feels like being pounded.
"Bring first let her sleep comfortably," said Arka and with a heavy heart I obey.
After the shower I heard Arka talking. I tried to eavesdrop and peek because it turned out that Arka was talking on the phone. Just heard the words 'iya' and 'OK' with whom Arka called ya. I ventured to ask Arka.
"Father," replied Arka with a tense face.
"Why mas? Papa's angry?" ask me with a face that follows tense
"Yes, not angry just disappointed we left Lovely just like that," said Arka then sat on the side of the bed.
"Certainly? We home?" I said be careful because I was worried about Arka being offended.
"No, I didn't tell my dad here either. I'm just saying that if you're not comfortable with Lovely, that's it," Arka said.
Arka then invited me to sleep because lately she has been having trouble sleeping if not hugging me. Either that's true or it's just Arka's wits. The sleeping lights were turned on and there was already a smooth snoring from the Ark. A very familiar sleep-carrying rhythm in my ears. I tried to close my eyes but the sleepiness didn't come to me. A million questions popped up in my brain. Why did Mr Surya seem to defend Lovely more? Then why did Mr. Surya match me with Arka if finally Lovely's whereabouts were allowed to disturb our household? If indeed Mr. Surya is more defending Lovely, why was Arka not just betrothed to Lovely? Their family should have known Lovely for a long time because even Mbok Welas recognize Lovely. Then will Pak Surya and Arka fight because Arka and I just like playing hide and seek with Lovely? Ahh. Even I just talked to him a few words but why does it feel like he has poisoned my life?
