FIRE FOR ARJUNA

Candour

"Stop!"

Arjuna's steps did not stop, he even got closer to Sekar who had retreated a few steps.

"Lo be honest, Sekar. You have the same feeling as me?"

Just shut up. A breeze that came out of nowhere, entered, stroked her hair child, moving uneasily like her own heart at this moment.

"Gue didn't think I should come tonight."

Sekar turned his head to the side, it felt like he was confused to respond to Arjuna how. Arjuna who was now getting closer to her now grabbed the girl's soft shoulder.

"Lo think I didn't have much trouble suppressing this feeling? I'm trying to pull him off, Sekar. I try not to carelessly have this taste for you. But I can't prevent that! Especially after I realized, Neira is very comfortable with you. I think ... "

Arjuna's sentence stopped for a moment.

"What do you think, Mom?" ask Sekar lirih once.

"Gue thinks you deserve to be Neira's mother. Not Ema, not Lola, or any other woman."

Sekar turned his face again, this time making him face to face with Arjuna. The eyes of the two met, their views became united.

"Gue dear Neira, Mas. Ever since I first saw Neira, I've had that feeling. But, I can't be presumptuous to think of replacing Eva's mother because she has her own standards in choosing women who deserve to be mothers to her grandchildren."

"But I know you love me, Sekar. He considers you his own son. He would agree that I marry you."

Sekar shook his head slowly. Although she knew that Madame Mira was a good rich woman, but she was indeed very picky if it was her business about daughter-in-law. The standard of Madam Mira is still too high for Sekar who is just an ordinary woman.

Wouldn't it be presumptuous if he fulfilled Arjuna's wish? While everyone knows, that Arjuna is a descendant of a conglomerate that is very concerned about the seeds, bebet and weights of his future son-in-law.

Then, who is Sekar?

"Mother is good, Mas. But I'm sure he'll never change his decision to unite you with the woman of his choice. Besides, you just knew me. Why do you have to say things that you shouldn't believe?"

"I don't have any feelings for you, I would never say if I fell in love with you, Sekar. I can say the same, I can give understanding to him. Now you're honest with me, how do you feel about me?"

Sekar lowered his head, he himself would not be able to lie to Arjuna that what Arjuna felt, he felt it.

"City ..."

"Honestly, Sekar, I don't want to close your feelings."

Sekar took a deep breath, he stared at the man as if he was digging the same honesty from his dark black and sharp beads.

"Gue also has the same taste as lo, Mas."

Arjuna drew a line of smiles, then grabbed the girl into his warm embrace. Sekar initially hesitated, but then he wrapped his arms around Arjuna's waist.

"Let me have time to explain our feelings to mom and dad."

Sekar did not answer, his tongue was a joke, he thought this would not go well. However, his head instead nodded weakly, as if justifying all of Arjuna's plans ahead of him.
