Villainess' Giving Up
Surprising reactions

Many times Aria rubbed her wet cheeks. Unfortunately, the tears of sadness did not stop even though he had tried to strengthen himself.

Vehicles passing by on the city streets still look very crowded. Lights on poles that use Solar system energy also appear to illuminate the city's streets.

The night breeze continues to blow incessantly, moving the strands of Aria's hair that are released from the ties of the scroll behind the head.

“Why don't you stop crying?”

A plastic bag appeared to be clutched in Arkas' hand. The man opened it and grabbed a pack of cotton and a bottle of Antiseptic.

“Yes already if you still want to cry, but let me clean the wound on the knee of your leg, yes?”

“Hm,”

Aria nodded her head, she was still unable to stop her crying that night.

He really misses Suan and her family. He wanted to go home and gather as usual.

“Hikss hikks,” Aria really wanted to have dinner together because her stomach was still unfilled at the time.

“Hold!”

“Hm, hikss hikss.”

Aria just nodded her head, letting Arkas clean the knee of the leg that was still bleeding.

********

There was a lot of tisue strewn over the garden grass.

Tisue from Suan's car that Aria had brought.

After cleaning Aria's knee and placing Plaster, Arkas was seen sitting on the grass while looking at Aria who was sitting on the bench in front of him.

“It's been relieved?”

Aria's cry had subsided, the woman cleaned up the last remaining tear that was attached to her cheek, then looked at Arkas before her.

“Hm,”

Arkas breathed a sigh of relief, he who had been bending his legs now started cross-legged.

“You crybaby once,”

Arkas smiled bitterly, as if he was remembering his past, “ strengthen your heart, you are like the one who suffers the most in this world when there are still many people who are more in pain than you.”

Aria could only bow her head, hearing the words that were thrown from Arkas' mouth.

“You'll never understand what I'm going through.”

The drops of Aria's tears flowing down fell back, she immediately wiped them away.

“I understand because I was in your position.” Arkas started to stand up and turned around, looking at the streets of the city. “.. but back then, I had no friends, no family, also abandoned the person I loved, I suffered alone unlike you.” Arkas bowed his head, he sighed heavily, “Sorry for ignoring your help all this time, actually I really don't want you to be as disappointed as I have been in the past.”

Arkas turned his head towards the back for a moment but his body was still facing towards the city streets.

Aria looked at Arkas a little confused, “I don't understand you mean.”

“You cannot be said to be sincere if you are not breast-fed giving and helping people who do not know themselves.”

Arkas began to turn around, he looked at Aria who seemed to frown and returned the gaze of the woman, “.. like me in the past, I guess with money I can get a friend, I think with money I can get a friend, I guess I can get love, but the truth is that because of money, it's all just fake. I'm afraid you're disappointed Aria, because I can't necessarily repay all your kindness, which is why I don't want anyone else to help me.”

Aria flinched, she did not expect to see Arkas tears for the second time after being on the bridge in the past, “... I better try myself so as not to feel indebted and not to be part of those who do not know thank you.”

“But I helped you just for myself.”

Sela quickly Aria a little surprised Arkas, “... Really, you don't need to feel indebted to me because I protect you only for myself, Arkas. I beg you at least let me be your friend.”

“Although I don't understand your reasons but if you really don't use me then I will be your friend,” Arkas wipes his tears with both palms and then uncovers them all the way to his hair.

“Hm, I won't do it.”

Aria nodded her head approvingly then she started to stand up, “I'm so hungry, will you come with me?”

He looked at Arkas shaking his head. He knew the man had rejected his offer.

“But I don't want to be alone.” Aria muttered, she lowered her head again, really hoping Arkas would accompany her to the restaurant that was still open.

“Alright I will accompany you but I don't want to eat, I'm really not hungry.”

Arkas starts to step closer to Aria's car.

“You can drive a car?”

Aria asked, at that time he was very tired to drive a car whose key was still in it.

“Alright I'll drive for you.”

“So you can drive a car, huh?” Aria started to step, though limping but she was able to move faster.

“Hm, I can do it.”

He opened the car door and sat down next to Arkas who was in control.

**********

Slowly Aria's eyes opened, and,

The sunlight that pierced through the glass slightly softened his eyes.

“You're up?”

Aria looks at Arkas seen sitting next to her while driving a car.

“When do I fall asleep?”

The woman was shocked when she saw that the night had passed and the morning had arrived.

He looked down and saw a blanket on both feet.

“You fell asleep before we got to the restaurant then I had to bring your car to the front of my kosku.”

Arkas casually replied, not turning his head towards Aria, he was only focusing on the car he started steering into the gates of Harry's company.

“So I slept in the car?”

“True, you fell asleep in the car and I was forced not to sleep because I had to take care of you so now you also have to pay for it by driving me to the office.”

The car stops right in front of the main entrance.

Arkas shut off the car engine and got down from there.

“I'm sorry for bothering you.”

Aria comes down and stops Arkas.

He walked up to the man who seemed to be breathing.

“Forget it!”

“A.. ria,”

The voice of someone surprised Aria. “From last I was waiting for you, I thought last night we haven't had time to meet.” The woman's voice began to sound closer to make Aria's face begin to pale.

Arkas was surprised, he remembered the woman had made a ruckus in front of the office last night, “ Aria, are you okay?” Arkas began to panic at Aria's trembling hand, “ Aria,” He pulled Aria's arm until the woman faced him along with the petite woman who had stood in front of them.

“Arkas, are you okay?”

Aria's question surprises Arkas, though,

The man thought that Aria's question was very strange because according to Arkas, at that time, Arialah was in trouble.

“I'm fine,” Arkas does not want to ask the reason again, he knows that Aria will not answer him because Aria often whispers strangely during this time, Aria, “i'm fine so you should be fine, Aria.” Said Arkas a little loudly and then he was a little overwhelmed when he saw a sigh of relief from Aria.

“A.. ria!”

“You who?”

Aria's question surprised the woman before her.

Aria started looking at him and smiled wryly, “it seems like I don't know you, but why do you know me?”

Arkas was also no less surprised, he was very sure that every time he met the woman, Aria was always afraid.

He also recalled the events at Harry's Engagement party and also the strangeness of last night.

“I,” the woman was a little furious at Aria's usual reaction, “ weak and helpless.”

“But why do I see you okay?”

Again and again Aria's question made the woman surprised and wanted her to be angry.

“You forgot about it?” the woman snapped out of emotion and then raised her hand.

“I remember him, but can't you see he's okay?”

But alas, before he hit, Aria's hand had managed to hold him first.

“Aria,”

“She is fine.” Said Aria while throwing the woman's hand.

“Arkas, I go.” Then it faces Arkas for a farewell.

“Aria,”

The woman wants to grab Aria's hand, “Who are you?, stop bothering her!” but managed to be thwarted by Arkas along with Aria who had entered the car.

“Not to interfere.”

The woman threw Arkas' hand, but Arkas managed to grab his hand again so that he would not chase after Aria's passing car away.

“Release!”

“No, tell me who you are?”

Arkas held the woman's hand that started thrashing.

That morning the employees of Harry's company witnessed a stir at the venue. Then some employees helped Arkas hold the body of the woman who was immediately brought into the building to face Harry.

“Lease!”

“Blame yourself for bothering others.”

Reject Arkas, he continued to step while ordering the two employees who held the body of the petite woman, following his steps.
