"By the way, yeah?" arka said she was at the door.
"Yes, why then? No likes? It's just exciting too, it's gone nongol" I said as I tried to push Arka out of the sewing room.
"If you guys keep talking when's the shirt?" arka said as she wrapped her hands around my waist and kissed my cheeks in a fit of anxiety.
I'm a little embarrassed making out in front of Lovely but it seems Lovely looks happy to see us like this. His expression was the same as when Mbok Welas was watching soap operas and his flagship star was happy. It turns out that the presence of Arka among us makes the atmosphere more alive.
"Love, later if we already have children please take care of it, it looks like Love will be very troublesome, a lot of orders," said Arka who was greeted with a nod of encouragement from Lovely.
"Well, what are you doing?" much
"I'll be busy," replied Arka with a grim laugh.
Mbok Welas then called us to eat. Today the typical menu ala village, vegetable lodeh jackfruit young and side dish tofu tempe still warm. Not forgetting the tomato sauce for sure. Arka seemed to eat voraciously until adding rice. After the meal we discussed our plan to return to the village to attend Rinto-Rayi's wedding. Mbok Welas wants to come along because he misses to see the countryside and whisper crickets at night and the singing of frogs in the rain. Lovely also wanted to come along because for a lifetime she had never felt comfortable living in the village. You agree because the house in the village is also quite large and consists of several rooms. It's just that Arka can't accompany them around because we will definitely be busy getting involved in the wedding.

"A real mom wants Lovely to help take care of our kid?" ask me before we go to sleep.
"You mind?" ask Arka who closed her eyes.
"Not really, but yeah. .. ..," I'm hanging because I don't know what I want to say.
Perhaps Arka could read my thoughts, she then opened up about the story when she first met Little Lovely. Arka who is the youngest child and adrift distance nine years with her brother and always spoiled by her parents must be willing to relinquish and share with Lovely. He who was the youngest child could feel what it was like to be an older brother. From there Arka began to learn what it was like to love someone without any strings attached.
"If I were just like you, I would still be grateful, hoping you would repay my love" Arka said with eyes looking up.
"If I don't return your love" I ask
"I will try to be sincere even though I must be disappointed, just as I hurt my own feelings," Arka said this time looking into my eyes.
"If it's the same Lovely?" ask again.
"That means loving me is a burden?" I said again and I realized this was causing trouble.
"Why is that the conclusion?" arka said while sighing violently.
I then kept quiet and dared not say anything. This is the dumbest joke I've ever done. I saw Arka start to sleep when I knew she was just pretending. Was he angry because of what I said?
...****************...
All day long Arka was in the study and I was trying to finish the clothes for both of us. Not one bit he stopped by to just bother me as usual. Over time I was curious too and looked for Arka in the study room but zonk, she was not there. I asked Mbok Welas who also did not know where Arka went. Mampus, Arka was really angry, even went without saying goodbye like usual. Regret filled my mind, I tried to call her but she did not answer my call. Panic began to hit me. I asked Lovely to call her but the result was the same, Arka did not respond. Until lunch time, Arka did not come home. If I have to go after him, where should I look for him.
I then went into the room to calm down and it turned out that Arka's phone was lying on the nightstand. I opened it and there was no chat or important phone call that could give me any clue about Arka's whereabouts. My tears began to flow between my panic. Angry what Arka until she left without saying something like that. I began to correct myself, all this was my fault, I could have hurt Arka who never hurt me for a second. He fulfilled almost all my dreams.
I just realized how much Arka really means to me in my life. Why am I so worried between Clouds and Arcs. Why after all the goodness of Arka which means that I still do not understand Arka until he is this angry. I apologized to Arka in my tears that I knew were meaningless. Maybe many will blaspheme me for being so stupid. Not a day Arka left, I already miss her a lot. The love of the Ark is the most beautiful memory for me. I was given the opportunity to feel true love.
"You why yank?" the voice I missed was heard when the door opened.
I then ran scattering towards the door and hugged the confused looking Arka. I then told Arka how much I missed her and asked her where she had been all day. It turned out that Arka was at home preparing a place to stay for Mas Aditya and his family who would stay here. When Pak Surya calls at night and early in the morning Arka leaves for the office, they discuss about the arrival of Mas Aditya. Mas Aditya and his family decided to stay here because it is close to the villas and tourism resorts they are building. It is likely that in the future all of that will be Mas Aditya's business.
"But I've been looking all over the corner of the mas house" I said whining as I pinched his stomach.
"Besides the koi pond there is a small door that is modeled like a cave, there is a pavilion. You don't know yank?" ask Arka astonishment
"No" I replied a little.
"Yes, tomorrow I take you there, yes" said Arka with a smile and wiped my tears.
"I think the emotions are crashing because of our conversation last night" I said and heaved a sigh of relief.
"No dong, where maybe I'm just as emotional as my beloved," said Arka as she hugged me tightly.
Arka took the initiative to clean the pavilion because it could not bear to ask for help Mbok Welas because in the end we will live in the pavilion and the mother house will be occupied by Mas Aditya and his family. In the Pavilion there were two rooms and the plan of one of the rooms would be used for my sewing room. I'll just obey everything Arka says because after all, it's a family home. All of these were probably discussed by his family. But all this time Arka also never told me about Mas Aditya and somehow I caught the discomfort of Arka or my feelings were wrong. Shouldn't Arka be happy?
