The Love Story of Arka
CHAPTER 8

At night, before going to bed Arka turns on her laptop to search for apartments online. He wants to buy an apartment so that he can freely date Tia without his mother's knowledge. Eating together outside is too risky to be caught by many people. After finding an apartment and a suitable location, Arka also keeps marketing contacts of the apartment. After that he was getting ready to sleep so that tomorrow he did not wake up.

The next morning, at breakfast together, Arka expressed her desire to her father to buy an apartment.

“For what Arka?” ask Mr. Hendro in between his meals.

“Arka wants to be independent Pa, doesn't Papa want Arka to study in America?” reply Arka reasoned.

“Ah yes, you are right too. Alright just choose you want to buy an apartment where, later let papa take care of it,” reply Mr. Hendro agreed to Arka's request.

“No. Mama disagrees,” said Bu Widya interrupted.

“Why Ma?” ask Arka wonder.

“If you live in an apartment, this house will be deserted Arka. Can you stay alone and take care of yourself?” reply Bu Widya worried.

“Ma .. Arch is already big. It's also for practice if Arka lectures in America later right?” said Mr. Hendro. Arka gave her thumbs up to her papa agreeing.

“Ya already, it's up to you,” reply Bu Widya resigned.

After breakfast together, Arka left for school using his favorite motorcycle. Today he was very excited to meet Tia at school. After returning home from school he will invite Tia to see the apartment he will buy.

Arriving at the school, Arka walked from the parking area to the classroom while whistling. When entering the class, as usual Arka approached the bench Tia. There Tia was joking with her best friend Salsa.

“Sayang .. “ saya Arka. Tia turned to the source of the voice she knew, who else if not Arka.

“Arka? You've been cured?” Tia was shocked when she saw Arka had entered the school.

“As you can see, I'm fine,” replied Arka with a smile.

Tia was happy when she saw Arka had entered school and was fine. Reflexes, he hugged Arka.

“Hey ... This is still in class, many see,” Arka told Tia. Tia looked up at Arka's face which was taller than her body and smiled.

“I'm too happy Arka .. “ reply Tia.

All her friends cheered when they saw Arka and Tia cuddling. Not far from where they were hugging, a student took a picture of them through his cell phone camera and then smiled mysteriously.

“Don't be happy first, your relationship won't last long,” murmured the disciple with his mysterious smile.

Not long after that the entrance bell rang. All the students sat on their benches.
