The Love Story of Arka
CHAPTER 3

After reading the message from Arka, Tia smiled as she imagined how happy Arka could be to have dinner with her parents. As for him, every day eating with dozens of orphanage children. He remained grateful, without this parlour, maybe he could not see this world now.

After studying, he laid his body on the bed preparing to sleep.

Meanwhile, Arka at her home is having dinner with her parents. After eating, Mr. Hendro opened the conversation.

“Arka, you papa son one – only. Surely you already know, you will be the heir to the GC company founded by your grandfather,”, said Mr. Hendro to Arka son only wayangnya.

“Iya, Arka knows Pa.. “ replied Arka resigned.

“Papa wants you to study in America after graduating High School,” said Mr. Hendro arrived – arrived. Of course it made Arka surprised.

“What?! In America Pa? That's a long way. Arka don't want!” aveng Arka refused his papa's will.

“There you will get better business knowledge than here Arka,” said Mr. Hendro advising Arka.

“No! Arka does not want Pa!” arka shouted and stood up and left the dining table. He ran up the stairs and went into the room and locked the door.

Mr. Hendro and Bu Widya became astonished, Arka never rejected anything they said, but the end of – this late Arka often denied.

“What's with the kid?” ask Hendro to his wife.

“Mama also does not know Pa,” replied Bu Widya while raising both her shoulders.

Meanwhile inside the room, Arka lay on top of her bed while hugging the bolster. He thought of the word – said his father who told him to go to college in America. Of course he refused, because if he went to college in America, he would not be able to meet his girlfriend Tia. Not long after that Arka fell asleep. He forgot not to study for the Maths exam tomorrow.

The next morning, when Arka entered his class, as usual, the first thing he did was to approach Tia's bench.

“Cieee .. “ chirps Salsa, Tia's best friend who is the opposite of Tia.

“Apaan anyway,” reply Tia while hitting Salsa's arm.

“Arka, have you studied for the exam this morning?” tia asked Arka.

“Gosh, I forgot baby, last night I fell asleep. No matter what –, I still remember some of the lessons as well,” reply Arka with a smile.

Not long after the entrance bell rang. The maths teacher came with a stack of test papers in his hand.

After all the students sat quietly and prayed, Alya gave the math problem to all the students.

“Please do, time is 60 minutes from now!” said Bu Alya when he finished sharing all the problem papers with all his students.

Arka started reading the matter on the paper in front of her and working on the matter one after another. He did not find it difficult because he was a good student in his class after Tia.

Tia glanced at Arka who was working on the matter seriously. He smiled when he saw Arka doing the problem smoothly, because the night Arka did not study, Tia became worried that Arka could not do the test well.

Sixty minutes later, Ms. Alya announced that time was up. All students are expected to collect the answer paper either finished or not finished.

Arka and Tia stand up first than other – friends to collect answer papers to the front of the class.
