I'm Tired, Love Me

Arlo Pov I's

My name is Arlo Yudhistira, I am the husband and father of two beautiful daughters aged 6 years and 2 years. I am Bagas' cousin.

I own some of the companies that I'm developing, I started building my business since I graduated High School and tried to finance my college with my own business, because I was born not from a family that was. Thirteen years I worked hard to build and develop my business so that I could have some other business.

When my marriage was 5 years old and my first daughter was 4 years old, I met a girl while I was taking care of my new corporate account,I am the owner of the company but I always go to the bank if I need help opening my company account, even though the branch leader has offered me to sit sweet and he takes care of everything,but I don't want it. Sweet girl that makes me always want to look at her. The girl with her hair in a neat loop, with her sweet smile, and her mature brown skin, her beautiful eyes with her plump eyelashes, and her sharp nose, made me always smile at her, she said,seeing him greet the customers with a friendly and polite, made me secretly admire him, Yes I was only able to admire him in my silence because I was aware of my status who already had a wife, even though I did not really love him, I was only able to admire him in my silence,because I married her at the insistence of her parents who were my business partners and old friends of my parents.

The last time I went to the Bank was one week before Bagas' wedding, I intended to get acquainted and ask for his mobile number, but unfortunately he is no longer working according to the branch leader he will continue his studies. I thought it was God's way of keeping him away from me so I wouldn't hurt my wife and child. I stopped hoping, but there was disappointment in my heart, but I knew maybe this was what had to happen.

How surprised I was when I attended Bagas' wedding khabul, the woman Bagas edited was a sweet girl who often made me smile just because I saw her smile. As if increasingly aware I should how to manage my attitude in the future. I decided to forget the girl, the girl I only knew her name when Ijab khabulnya Rheyna Aurora, a beautiful name for a sweet girl.

After Ijab khabul finished I approached Bagas and the sweet girl, stretched out my hand and congratulated Bagas,

“Congratulations ya gas, may last until grandparents” I congratulate Bagas

“Aamiin, thanks mas” Bagas replied with a smile

“Congratulations yes mbak” I switched on that sweet girl and congratulated her

“thank you mas” The girl returned my hand and smiled

“Eh Rhey has not known the same mas Arlo right?” Bagas asked his wife, who was only answered with a head and a smile

“Mas Arlo is the boss in my office Rhey, he has a company, son Budhe Lusi” Bagas explained who I am to the sweet girl

“Salam mas Arlo” said the sweet girl and returned smiling

“Sama-sama” I answered wrongly, just seeing her smile makes my heart beat faster

“I said yes, kasian mbak Lila just accompanied by the mbok ngurus two children” said I explained

“Iya mas, later if I play there off, all the nengokin bangkan newborn” Bagas replied, and the sweet girl just returned to smile at me,and again I could only return his smile and leave the event.

A week after meeting the sweet girl during her wedding, Bagas brought the sweet girl to my house to see my second daughter who was born 4 months ago,when Lila gave birth only Bagas' parents visited us, and now Bagas has just visited us again.

The sweet girl who didn't talk too much and just answered what she asked was like she had a lot of pain in her heart, why I felt the pain of her sweet smile.

“Rheyna works where?” Lila asked the sweet girl

“In Bank NIB mbak” replied the cute girl

“Ow yes? Which bank is NIB? Mas Arlo The priority customer in the bank is low, right Yah?” Lila's question made me lazy, because again she tried to boast about my wealth and I didn't like it

“Bank NIB Commander Sudirman mbak, I'm just a teller kok mbak, still a lowly employee” answer sweet girl that makes me more unwell

“Your parents work where Rhey?” Ask Lila back

“Yuk eat first, chat continued later” said I interrupted their conversation, because the longer I heard Lila increasingly trying to demean Rheyna and trying to brag about our wealth

At dinner….

“Bagas now hold the project have mas Arlo what?” Tanya Lila opened the conversation

“Still a long project kok mbak” replied Bagas casually

“Work more gas, already have a wife costs more low, what else if his wife hobby shopping and shopping luxury” words Lila make me more lazy to finish my meal, so that his wife is happy,

“Fortunately Rheyna people who save mbak, do not like shopping also” Bagas replied still with a relaxed tone and indifferent

“Do not equate everyone with your habits dong ma”, I replied in a landslide,

“Yes what is important my husband is able to, if my husband can not afford still my parents who can afford my luxurious living” replied Lila more and more disgusted me

“The rich are free mbak” replied Bagas while laughing

“Tuh Bagas aja understand well, father who does not understand” replied Lila

I finished my meal and returned to the living room to play with my first child Salsa, shortly after Bagas, Rheyna and Lila followed me into the living room.

Salsa loved playing with Rheyna, she patiently responded to Salsa's spoiled behavior, and she made Salsa feel at home playing with Rheyna.

I looked for Bagas around the house, because time had set at 20:35, Bagas suddenly disappeared leaving Rheyna who was playing with Salsa. At that time I was thinking maybe Bagas was looking for a place to smoke, and I was looking for him in the garden behind my house it turned out he wasn't there,I walked towards the living room and I saw the door of the living room slightly open, as I was about to open the door wide, I heard the sound of Bagas,

“Ah dear you are very nervous anyway,bikin I more kangen you deh” said Bagas I don't know who he was talking to

I'm still trying to steal his conversation, I want to convince my hearing that it's Bagas' voice,

“Iya dear tomorrow we meet ya, I pick you up tomorrow yes,miss you dear” those friendly words are definitely not for Rheyna because I know Rheyna is playing with Salsa,and that's right, Bagas' voice

I turned my back and tried to get away from the door and pretended to scream for Bagas

“Gas…. Bagas...” I pretend to call

“Ya mas” Bagas answered my call and then entered from that slightly open door

“Take your wife home gas, it looks like she's tired and it's also late” I told Bagas to bring his wife home

“Iya mas want to go home also mas” replied Bagas,

Shortly after Bagas and Rheyna came home, I disturbed myself with my own thoughts, asking who was the person who had a friendly conversation with Bagas on the phone, but I had no right whatsoever to interfere in Bagas' affairs.

Seriate…..
