The Conqueror Cassanova
Chapter 39 I have no choice, Arga.

After spending dinner together, Arga and Vanya are enjoying a cup of coffee at the dinner table.

''Once again thank you, Arga.'' said Vanya breaking the silence between the two of them.

Arga seemed to still enjoy the coffee made by Vanya for himself. The right dose makes the coffee taste very delicious in his mouth. Looks a faint smile when Arga first tasted his homemade coffee.

''Hm, no problem.'' said Arga. Both are silent. I don't know what the two are talking about right now. Vanya was silent while moving her index finger around the edges of her coffee cup. But Vanya's hand movements stopped when she heard Arga's words.

''I still don't think out. Why is there a man who can beat a woman, especially the woman is his own lover.'' said Arga suddenly. After he had been holding her back since then, he was now finally able to speak his mind. But Arga did not realize that his words could make a wound in Vanya's heart.

Vanya's heart rate sounded firmer when he heard the words that were thrown from Arga's mouth. He knew the meaning of the man's words which were none other than addressed to him.

'Is that how he knows? does he know what my relationship with Marcell has been like?' it was Vanya who asked herself.

''A-what do you mean, Arga?'' asked Vanya as if he did not know the meaning of Arga's words. Arga just smiled faintly hearing it.

''You know clearly what I mean, Vanya.'' Arga replied as he stared fixedly at Vanya's eyes. Gaining that look, made Vanya lower her head. He doesn't know what to talk about. The one who knew of Marcell's abusive treatment of her all this time was Renata. He knew for sure because Renata and himself spent more time together. Annisa is not. He was busy with his job as the owner of several cafes. He just wanted to keep it all to himself.

''Why are they still holding? Do you want to be treated like this forever?' Like no other man.' asked Arga to Vanya. Vanya is increasingly made uncomfortable because he feels Arga began to comment on his life. Vanya let out a deep breath before she answered the question. Indeed, Vanya has long limited its association. They even tend to be introverts. Renata and Annisa are her best friends.

''I have no choice, Arga. I can't tell you everything because we're not that close. And you don't know what I've been through all this time. And I beg you not to interfere in my affairs again, okay?'' said Vanya while staring at Arga who is currently also looking at him. Arga just kept silent to Vanya's words. He could see from the look of Vanya's eyes that showed dislike as a result of his words.

''I am so grateful to you today. For help and dinner tonight. Maybe in exchange, I will also treat you next time. But I beg you. Can you keep your distance from me? I don't want to make my boyfriend have negative thoughts about us. (But I beg you. Can you keep your distance from me? I do not want to make my lover have negative thoughts about us.)'' said Vanya trying to ask Arga not to approach her anymore.

While Arga was immediately speechless hearing Vanya's words. He thought again for a moment, digesting the meaning of Vanya's words to him.

'Could it be because I asked him to have a conversation this afternoon, that made the man beat Vanya up like this?But who reported it to the man? Breng..sec! It seems like someone doesn't like my closeness and Vanya's. I have to find out about this, ' Arga's inner being can begin to draw conclusions with remarks from Vanya. Both of his hands seemed to be clenched under the table.

''No need. I do it willingly. I'm also sorry if my treatment of you made you this way. I just thought because you were Annisa's best friend. While Annisa is the wife of my own best friend. That's why I dare to approach you. I am so sorry, Vanya.'' said Arga who relented for now. He did not want to take hasty steps that would make him far from Vanya.

'Why can't I take your shadow off my mind, Vanya. You are also the only woman who is cold when dealing with me. Looks like I'm attracted to you, ' Inner Arga.

''Sorry. I just don't want to make my life complicated, Arga. I hope you want to understand that, said Vanya who asked Arga's understanding to him. Arga just nodded his head.

After saying that, Vanya looked at the direction of her watch. It's getting late, it doesn't feel like it's almost ten at night. Vanya doesn't want to be there much longer. To be precise, he does not want to be close to other men who are not his partner.

''Um, it seems like it's been too late. I will go home now, said Vanya as she moved from her seat and was followed by Arga.

Arga could only stare at Vanya's back which was getting farther away and finally disappeared behind the big door of her apartment.

'I won't give up, Vanya.'
