Survive Though Injured
Chapter 40 - Entertaining Tria

The morning Arsen came to the Rose house, when he arrived there he greeted the middle-aged woman with a smile. And Tria just smiled briefly at him.

Arsen sat at the dinner table with the mother and child.

"Later you go to the office together with Arsen, yes!"

"Ma, I can drive myself." Tria refused her mother's offer.

"You came home drunk all night, lucky that Arsen followed you. Mama doesn't want anything similar to happen again."

"Ma, I won't do it again" promised Tria.

"Mama does not believe, this time listen," said Rose.

"All right, Ma."

After breakfast, Arsen and Tria bid farewell to the Roses.

Arsen opened the door for Tria.

"Thank you" he said.

Arsen just nodded slowly and smiled.

The car slowly left the Rose residence.

"Thank you for taking me home" Tria opened the conversation.

"Together."

No more conversations.

"How is your mood right now?"

"It's normal."

"Is it still angry, disappointed or upset?"

Tria shook her head.

"Thank God, if your heart has improved."

"For now, it's starting to improve but don't know ahead."

"Do you love Azzam?"

Tria looked at me but did not answer.

"Azzam will get married and you yourself continue to lament the situation. Tria, you started it so you have to be ready to let go."

"I'm really sorry, Sen."

"It's too late, forgive yourself" Arsen said softly.

"I tried again."

"Maybe Azzam is not your match" Arsen said.

Tria sighed.

"Oh, yeah. How are we gonna have lunch when I buy you something to eat?"

"I'm just eating."

"Hey, don't be so dong. You want to see Aunt Rose and Brother Dimas grieve?"

Tria shook her head.

"Let's get up, don't keep grieving."

Tria let go of her little laugh.

"I'm happy if you can smile again" Arsen said.

"Don't tease me!"

Arsen laughed too.

Half an hour later, the two arrived at Tria's office.

The woman was about to go down, but Arsen prevented her.

"Why, Sen?"

"You left something behind" said Arsen.

Tria felt that nothing fell or missed.

"Are you sure nothing's missing?"

"Yes." Yeah."

Arsen shows Tria a bracelet, "Yakin?"

"My door!" Tria seized it, a bracelet Arsen gave her a few years ago before she married Azzam. She wears it because it is cute and beautiful.

Arsen smiled.

"Where did you get it?"

"Every night fell in the car."

"It's just as if there's a banquet."

"Thank you for wearing it" Arsen said.

"I really like this bracelet" Tria said.

"Do you want me to buy it again?"

"No, this is enough." Tria smiled happily.

"I'll do anything if you ask" Arsen said.

"No need, Sen."

"I want to" replied Tria.

Arsen was so happy to hear Tria's reply.

"Thank you for taking me to the office" Tria said.

"It's with pleasure that if you want I'll drive you every day."

"No need, it'll trouble you."

"I don't feel bothered."

"I'm down, yeah. See you later at noon," Tria held the doorknob and went down.

Her afternoon...

Arsen picked up Tria at his office. They will have lunch together.

"Where do you want us to eat?" arsen asked as Tria was in the car.

"As far as you."

"Why is it up to me?"

"Kan, you're the hijacker.

"Oh, yes. Then we eat at Sundanese restaurants only," said Arsen.

"Maybe, I haven't been there in a long time. Last with Mas Azzam a year ago."

"Then we don't have to go there" Arsen said.

"Loh, why?"

"I don't want you to remember your ex-husband."

"Sen, don't start looking for my problems" Tria narrowed her eyes.

Arsen laughed, "You have to promise not to be sad anymore?"

"Yes, I promise."

"If you're still sad I'll beat Azzam."

"Why beat him up?"

"Because he made you sad."

Tria smiled, "I won't be sad anymore."

"Okay, we're going there!"

The car drove to the restaurant.

Upon arrival, Arsen and Tria get out of the car.

They chose to sit at the corner, on the right side of the fish pond.

The waiter approached the two asking for orders.

"What do you want to order?" ask Arsen.

"Whatever" replied Tria.

"Well, I ordered it for us" said Arsen, then he turned his gaze to the waiter. "Mba, order one fish pepes, stir-fry a serving of kale, two-piece grilled chicken and two servings of rice."

"Drink, sir?"

"Mineral water alone two."

"Good, Sir. Please wait," said the smiling waiter then passed.

"That's all my favorite food" said Tria.

"Yes." Yeah."

"You remember" said Tria.

"All about you, I remember," said Arsen looking at the woman in front of him.

Tria was silent because she was stared at.

Arsen threw away his face.

"Drink, sir, ma'am," the waiter served 2 bottles of mineral water.

"Thank you, Mba." Tria smile.

The waiter returned his smile.

Arsen grabbed the bottle and unscrewed the lid and then he thrust it at Tria.

"Thank you."

"Yes, you're welcome."

The two were silent and busy playing their phones.

A few minutes later, 2 servants came with orders.

"Let's eat!" bring Arsen.

Both of them started enjoying the food.

"How does it feel? What's delicious?" ask Arsen.

"Great boy!" Tria held out her right thumb.

"I'm happy if you like."
