Flowers from Heaven II

Eps. 27

Aira, who had arrived in the city by late afternoon, met Shaina at the Resto.

"Aira.." said Shaina who was shocked to see Aira rush to open the door of Resto

"Sorry Madam, forgive me.. I'm here to talk to Arka, can I see you?" said Aira while bored because of running from earlier

"Arka hasn't come home yet, she said she wants to find you in the village." Shaina answered honestly

Aira was silent for a moment because she was so shocked by Shaina's reply. From where Arka knew the address of her village, Aira did not understand.

"Drink first." said Shaina who was sorry to see Aira bored while giving a bottle of mineral water.

"Thank you Madam.. Can I wait for Arka here?" aira said she hoped to meet Arka

"Can, sit.. You are so cape" Shaina replied

Shaina does not intend to reunite Aira with Arkana again, because she fears Arkana will be more compassionate to Aira. Shaina could have contacted Arka to go straight to Resto, but her phone was lowbat and it just so happened that Shaina did not bring her carger.

"I'm sorry I couldn't reach Arka to come here right away, because my phone is dead." Shaina said as she sat down to accompany Aira who was sitting alone in the customer's seat

"Yes Madam is fine." replied Aira with a faint smile

"Madam I'm sorry that I'm out of work not well and suddenly.." suddenly Aira said to Shaina while holding Shaina's hand on the table

"What was going on at the time? You where? Arka is looking for you." said Shaina curiously

"So after returning home from the hospital at that time, Zidan came to our rented house and again tortured me and Dira, fortunately the neighbors heard it and immediately broke up, Zidan was taken to the police station" aira tried to explain

"Innalallahi.. How is Dira now? is it okay?" shaina asked so worriedly

"Dira's fine now. He started to get used to it again, yesterday after that incident I decided to go back to the village because of the annoyance of Dira I think.." replied Aira explained

"Dira cried with constant fear overnight, he also did not want to eat and drink after the incident" said Aira

"God is so sorry little Dira." said Shaina while staring blankly ahead

Aira fell silent again he was seen still in a state of slump.

Arka's on her way back home. Arka drove his car at high speed because the road was very quiet, it was rare for vehicles to pass by.

Arka who had been feeling hungry, he held it until a restaurant that was close to the city. Arka decided to pray magrib first, because there happened to be a small mushola beside his restaurant.

Arka queues for ablution, due to a small toilet.

After the completion of the prayer, Arka went directly into the simple restaurant. He sat down and picked some food and a drink. Arka waited for her message while checking her phone.

"Kok Aunty did not ask me about it." said Arka slowly to himself

He quickly contacted his aunt for fear of worry, but the phone was not connected.

"The number you are going to is inactive. Try a few more moments" said the operator

Arka quickly stopped her phone connection.

"Aunty kok tumben is not active, is Aunt still at the restaurant and the phone is lowbat?" arka said to herself again

Before long the food came, Arka devoured it because he was very hungry. He finished the food he ordered long enough, until the time had entered Isha's time.

Arka decided to pray Isya again in that place, for fear of returning home exhausted and forgetting to pray.

The time showed at 08:00 pm, Arka resumed her journey. He remembered to buy souvenirs that he could buy, because tomorrow he had to go home to Indonesia because the plane ticket he had ordered and there was only tomorrow or not next week, it was quite a long time, he said, that's why Arka decided to go tomorrow morning.

"Mrs, Arka is quite a long time too yaa.. Can I have Arka's mobile number?" said Aira intends to contact Arka with her phone

"Sorry Aira, my phone is dead so can't see Arka's number." Shaina replied quickly

"I'm sorry, my husband has already picked me up to go home. I say yes." Shaina said goodbye to Aira who was still waiting at the restaurant

"Yes Madam is fine." replied Aira with a faint smile on her face

Shaina passed leaving the Resto still open, because the Resto was always closed at 11 p.m.

Aira was still sitting pensively on the visitor's desk, now she no longer works there.

"You haven't come back Aira?" ask a waiter who is cleaning another table

"I'm waiting for Arka." replied Aira listlessly

"Arka really likes to come before closing the Resto, but lately during the exam, Arka rarely comes here" said the waiter explained

"Don't he live here? And it's always gonna be here, isn't it?" ask Aira curiously

"No, ever since she was beaten up by your husband at that time, after getting out of the hospital Arka lived in Madam Shaina's private home" the maid replied honestly

"Can I go there?" ask Aira curiously

"We all don't know exactly where the Madam's house is." replied the waiter quickly

Aira waited at the resto until late at night. He could not be certain whether he could meet Arka or not.

"The air is about to close, Arka doesn't seem to come here." said a waiter.

Aira understood, meaning she had to leave that place. Aira went out down the street, confused as to where she was going for a while.

New arcs arrive home at 12 p.m. Alif was still waiting for her in the living room, while Shaina was already asleep.

"Where have you been Arka?" alif asked worriedly

"Sorry Om, Arka has come from the village and is looking for souvenirs for tomorrow home." replied Arka honestly

"So you're going back to Indonesia tomorrow Arka?" ask Alif curious

"Yes Om, because I checked the ticket was still left for tomorrow morning, and next week. That's why I decide for tomorrow only, if next week is too long" Arka explained

Alif nodded in understanding.

"Did you go to the resto first? Have you met Aira?" alif asked

"Huh? Aira to Resto?" said Arka in shock

"I didn't go there first Om." replied Arkana

"Yes he was waiting for you, said Auntie." said Alif who also knew from Shaina

Alif then recounts everything that happened to Arka, exactly as told by his wife Shaina.

"I have to look for him." said Arka while standing about to leave

"Wait for Arka, where are you going? It's midnight, go to sleep. Aira must have left. You have to get ready for tomorrow morning, right?" alif said prevent

Arka understood, he went straight into his room and slept because he was very tired as well.
