My Place To Go Home
Chapter 23 borrow your shoulder for a moment

"Dad, Mama what are you doing?" Arga was very surprised by what the two parents-in-law did.

"Father please forgive Felicia, don't divorce her. Give him time to correct his mistakes. We beg Arga" as if forgetting his position and pride Felicia's father continues to beg at Arga's feet.

Of course Arga was very surprised and clumsy with this situation.

Seeing the faces of her two in-laws who were crying and squeezing made her so shaky. Yes, this is the weakness of Arga most can not see others cry.

"Alright but please Daddy and Mama don't be like this" Arga rubbed his face violently.

"But I know what Felicia did hurt me" Arga complained.

"Yes, son, I know. Give him a month to make amends. After that it's up to you son, the decision is in your hands" please Felicia's father back.

Arga let out a rough breath. His brain became deadlocked instantly. What to do if this is the case?

"alright.. I will consider it" said Arga forced.

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

PPLLAAKKK...!!!

PPLLAAKKK...!!!

A barrage of slaps landed on Felicia's face. Not only hot but now his cheeks also feel numb.

"Based on the self-knowing child, troublesome.. Shame.." All the swearing came out of Felicia's father's mouth.

Meanwhile Felicia could only look down while crying. He already guessed this.

Arga has shown the video to his parents and of course they fire the beard he made.

But Felicia also did not understand why her father and mother were so angry.

"This is ma, the kid you've always spoiled so it's this."

" Dadwhy did he get this angry? What's wrong if I don't love Arga?" felicia protests.

"Wrong.. That's a big mistake. If Arga divorces you, then we must be prepared to go bankrupt. Want to be a bum? Can you support a family with your obscure model job?" Mama Felicia is now speaking.

"What does Ma mean?" Felicia was confused.

Felicia's father seemed to be sighing harshly. Throwing her body on the couch in frustration.

"Father is bankrupt, has a lot of debt and the Wijaya family has helped our company. While Arga has invested shares with fantastic value to support the company. That's why I married you so he wouldn't take out his investment. It was me who asked for it." said Felicia's father.

"Actually Arga did not want to, but father begged. As well as the late Arka's request to take care of you. Because he knows Arga loves you so much. But this is precisely your reply Feli" he added.

Felicia was surprised by her father's words. So all this time Arga never forced his family to marry him.

Suddenly Mama Felicia came with a book. He gave it to Felicia.

"This is Arka's notebook, in fact Mama secretly went to Arka's room while serving at Pak Wijaya's residence. Mama deliberately took it just in case"

Felicia trembled to receive the book, the memories of Arka coming back were present and it made her feel claustrophobic.

"Dad has pleaded with Arga to consider his decision. I'm asking you to take a month to fix your mistakes. So use that time as best you can" Felicia's father said.

Felicia's tongue was getting increasingly under pressure like from her parents. He himself was confused by his feelings.

How could one month he conquer the heart of Arga after what he has done is fatal.

Felicia went to her room. Trembling he opened Arka's diary.

He felt Arka's signature handwriting so neat, no tears dripping from Felicia's corner of the net.

Sheet by sheet he read it carefully. It seems like the note he wrote when he first entered college.

..."Today I am very happy to finally get to know the girl, it turns out Felicia is her name. Yeah, Felicia's been stealing my heart these days. So beautiful as an angel.."...

Felicia smiled reading the writing. He remembered very well when he first met Arka. Then he continued reading again.

..."I didn't expect Felicia to be the girl that Arga's sister told me so much. How'this? Should I give up on her?"...

Felicia again frowned reading that.

..."how can I thank God for giving me a brother as good as Brother Arga. Somehow I returned his kindness. He gave up his feelings for me. He even let me confess that that saved Felicia from those thugs. Because we're twins? Either this is luck or something. What's clear is that Felicia's got more trust in me. I'm sorry, Feli, I had to lie to you"...

When she read it, Felicia was shocked. "A_what, so the one who saved me back then wasn't Arka? But Arga?"

Felicia recalled the events in the past. Where he was intercepted by thugs on his way home from college because of his night.

At that time someone saved him by beating the thugs. Felicia only caught a glimpse of the man due to the dark atmosphere of the streets.

The next day he immediately thought that the man was Arka. Felicia has fallen in love with her rescue man.

Tears he can't stand. All the regrets are in his mind. Felicia squeezed the diary with a guilty feeling.

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

Arga walked into the apartment in shaky steps. He threw his body on the sofa with his head looking up.

According to the base of his nose that even feels so influential when he is not drunk.

Love realizes the arrival of Arga and immediately approaches him.

"Mas, I made you some warm chocolate. Drink yes" said Kasih while putting a cup of warm chocolate on the table.

Arga looked at Love. "Love.." call her slow.

"Yes mas?"

Arga immediately grabbed onto Kasih's body and hugged her and leaned her head on the girl's shoulder. I felt the rough breathing of Arga. From there only Kasih realized that Arga was not okay.

"Can you borrow your shoulder for a minute, right?" lirih.

"Of course you are," Brief love.

For some reason his hand suddenly moved to rub Arga's head. Letting the man lean on his shoulder.

Arga felt something very comfortable. The hug felt like his mother's hug that he missed so much.

Either because he has not felt this for a long time or indeed warm Love's body that seems like opium to him.

Arga further deepened his embrace by tightening his hands and hiding his face in the woman's chest like a child.

If it's like this Love can no longer hide the beating in his heart.

"Love, I'm confused" said Arga who was still spoiled in Love's arms.

"Why are you?"

"So Felicia's parents came to me. He asked for time to think about the divorce. I should how?" Arga rose from the embrace of Love.

Love looked at the face of the man before her. His face showed how tired he was.

"Mas, ask that to your own heart. Whatever decision Mas Arga think carefully do not use emotions first. Because it concerns the future. And one thing is certain, think of your happiness first." said Love.

Those words seemed to be a conditioning for Arga.

"Thanks, Love." Arga looked at the beautiful face of Kasih then gently kissed those ranum lips.
