The Marriage Pursuit.
29. Stay.

HAPPY READING'S...

***

Not everything has to be heart... ARJUNS.

Arjun's eyes were still observing the movement of the motor in front of him.

Where are they going? inner wondering.

Until the Sport bike up ahead starts to enter a housing complex, Arjun is still following him.

He knew that the complex ahead was a housing complex where Akira's parents' house was located.

What makes Arjun confused is why Akira is heading there right now.

Arjun's car stopped a little way from Adam's father's house while continuing to see Akira coming down from the bike.

Suddenly his eyes were perfectly rounded when he saw Akira being kissed by the young man.

Oi! She kissed? what the fuck is that? they dating? inner Arjun wondered.

Akira wanted to be kissed by the man which meant that there was indeed a special relationship between them, Arjun thought.

Arjun was still in his stupid mode even until the bike in front of him started to drive away and after that Akira also entered the house.

They must have had a relationship.

Arjun starts his car and leaves.

At least he knows where Akira is.

***

Arriving home, Arjun saw the atmosphere of his house was very quiet. Arjun is not curious why it could be because Papi Johan has told him that he went with Mami out of town tonight.

Just stepping up the stairs, suddenly the phone in his suit pocket vibrated indicating a message was coming in.

Soon Arjun reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone.

Akira: If Mami asks, say that I slept at Daddy's house...

The message Akira sent. Arjun simply read it without intending to reply to the message.

Ck... after satisfied dating, she doesn't even remember going home...

Holding his cell phone, Arjun again stepped towards his room on the 2nd floor. His body really felt heavy and tired.

"At least a shower will make my body fresh." he murmured slowly.

Arjun gets into the bathroom and fills Bath Up with warm water.

Waiting for Bath Up to be full, Arjun's head was filled with shadows when Akira was kissed by the man a little riled Arjun.

How the envious girl reacted after being kissed, making Arjun's head throb pain.

"Si*l, what do I care.." he told himself.

What Akira does is certainly not Arjun's business, right? They are stuck in a marriage they don't want.

Arjun went into Bath up and drowned his body in there. But the shadow never disappeared from his head.

"Ohhhh..." Arjun wiped the water on his face.

"Gue can go crazy thinking about it. What should I do?" muttered Arjun confused.

"aaa... I'll have a drink with Dion and Galih. Yeah, I'm gonna call them and go to the nightclub..."

Finally Arjun found the idea to forget the crazy thing inside his head just now.

At least by drinking and meeting his best friend, Arjun will return to being the Arjun he once was.

Arjun who always does according to his wishes.

Elsewhere, Akira had just taken a shower and was sitting on the edge of the bed observing her phone.

Eh, immediately read. his mind was a little surprised because the message he sent to Arjun just read directly by the owner.

Akira was still staring at the screen of his phone who knew if he got a reply message, but until 5 minutes passed there was no reply at all.

Ck... Did he just read it? basic thing! akira is upset.

"about!" call Adam's father from behind his daughter's door.

Instantly Akira was aghast in shock and stood up, "Yes Well." she replied directly to the door.

"Let's eat" Adam's father said as Akira's bedroom door opened.

In the dining room, there was no one.

This has happened since Arum's mother was ill at the time. Akira sat in his chair followed by Adam's father.

They just eat together.

"What were you here for?" ask Adam's father to know.

Because just now when Akira came, Adam's father was feeding his wife in the room.

"Oh, Akira took a taxi Yah." replied Akira again lying. In fact, he got here because he was ushered by Dean.

But Akira could not say that to his father.

"Why not Arjun?" ask Adam's father again.

Because her daughter was married, she was supposed to go with her husband.

"So Akira from Campus and straight here... While Arjun this morning said that there was a meeting so he could not accompany Akira.." Akira replied again lying.

Forgive Akira Daddy.I'm sorry for lying to Dad. But that was all Akira could do to keep his parents from worrying. Lying is the only way.

"I'm sorry Akira Yah." said Akira I don't know what he meant.

"Lho... Why apologize? It's okay, kid... Arjun was indeed the head of the family, so there was a great responsibility on his shoulders at the moment... I have already understood him." replied Adam's father was very understanding.

Father and daughter enjoyed their dinner.

Afterwards together heading to the room where Ms. Arum was lying down.

"Mother...how are you?" tanya Akira tries to communicate with her mother.

While Arum's mother only nodded as a form of response because her tongue was difficult to talk until now.

"I'm going to accompany you tonight" said Akira again with a smile full of happiness. Tonight he will sleep with his mother.

"You're not going home Ra?" father Adam's Protest.

"No Well... Akira will sleep here." replied Akira already lying next to his mother.

"What about Arjun?" ask Adam's dad to worry. They haven't talked about Akira's plans to stay tonight, so Adam's father asked about it.

"Don't worry Dad... Akira had permission from Arjun earlier." Akira replied reassuringly.

Of course the father looked at Akira very deeply. There is still distrust from the twinkle of Adam's father's eyes. It is possible that Akira is lying or worse Akira and Arjun are fighting. Moreover, his daughter came alone here earlier.

"Dad... Akira doesn't lie" said Akira, still assuring his father that what was said was the truth.

"Does Akira need to call Arjun to let me believe?" ask Akira.

For a long time Adam's father was silent until in the next second the envious man spoke, "No need to be affectionate... I believe you..."

"All right, you guys just take a break... Dad will sleep in the front room." said Adam's father and immediately left the room occupied by his wife and child.

Adam's father walked into the living room. Sitting on the couch staring at the phone.

Should I call Johan and ask him the truth?

Adam's father was a little worried. Not that he didn't believe what Akira said just now, but Adam's father felt that something was wrong and he just wanted to make sure.

Pretty sure, Dad hit the numbers on that phone and, "Hello..."

"Hello Adam... Did something happen to call me at this hour?" johan asked a little confused.

"Oh that, that,"

"What's wrong?"

"Look... I just want to know, are Arjun and Akira okay? Did they fight?" ask Adam's father.

"Arrangled? Any time?" of course Johan was surprised. All he knew until this morning was that his son and daughter-in-law looked the same as usual. Akira even served Arjun breakfast this morning.

"So suddenly Akira came home alone, and also wanted to stay here... I'm just worried, their relationship isn't okay." Dad said.

"really? so Akira is currently coming home to your house? I don't know either because Livia and I are out of town right now. I'll talk to Arjun later..."

"Oh so yes, yes already then,"

"Don't worry Adam... Let me ask my son" replied Johan reassuring Adam.

"I hope so too" said Adam's father.

Adam's father hung up again. Being able to talk to Johan made his worries a little less.
