In My Dreams

Sweet Life

Month passed. Sia had not managed to find Arch, rather the man did not return home. There was no word or trace of Arch leaving behind. The man's cell phone does not have, the identity is only limited to ID card that Sia has never known its contents.

Sia sighed many times, it felt so tight. There were all sorts of things that he had stacked on his chest. Anxious, curious, curious, tired. The girl sat herself down weakly. There was no spirit at all in Sia. First Elyos and now Arch. Why does everyone go away from him. Is he destined to be alone. His father and mother died. The two men that Sia considered best friends also left without news. The corner of Sia's eyes began to get wet when she recalled that. That's how bad he was, until he was abandoned by those closest to him.

Abby and En can only look at each other when Sia tells him about Arch who suddenly left without saying goodbye. Abby rubbed gently on Sia's back which started to sob. The girl cried again since the departure of her parents.

"Maybe he went home." En said to comfort Sia. The man doesn't know where Arch went. He also just found out that his friend was leaving Sia's house.

"Can't you tell me?" Chase Abby.

"He doesn't have our cell phone number." En gave a reason. Abby grimaces slowly.

"So, he's your friend." En's turn that rolled his eyes was careless. The man said, if Arch did consider him a friend, he would have told me where he was going. It really isn't.

"Even with Sia, she's not alone. Halal was hit with your heels ten inches Ab, the Arch."

Yes, if Arch did consider them friends, there would certainly be a word before the man left. But this isn't. "Maybe he never considered me a friend." Sia Lirih muttered.

Abby and En look at each other again. Both stopped their discussions. Always together every day, instead of getting along, it's just two people. Abby said, if you don't fight, it doesn't feel bad.

"Eh, not that time either, Si. Maybe he's busy or something, so he hasn't had time to call us."

"Busy sleeping yes. People have a hobby of sleeping." Sia rubbed the tears down her cheeks. If Arch never considered him a friend, why was he busy crying over the man. It's no use. Sia then ate the fried kwetiau in front of him. Arch's favorite menu if you visit the place.

"Even I ordered his favorite food. It sucks." Sia in the heart. Abby and En gawked, seeing how Sia ate the food.

"Don't rush Si, we don't ask." Abby said worriedly while holding Sia's hand.

"What's wrong..uhuk..uhuk...uhuk..."

En was quick to give water to Sia. And the girl chugged it up the toilet. "What I told you. Slow down." Abby slapped Sia on the back.

"I'll beat him up if I see you again." Sia's determination while sticking the tip of her fork into the table. Abby and En shudder in horror at Sia's behavior. Plus the eyes full of anger from their friend.

"Don't that be very Si, syeerreeemmm." Said En with a frightened face.

"You can also leave if you want." Sia said softly. He just doesn't have any friends.

"Where are you going? We'll be here with you forever." Abby hugged Sia. Highlight the warning eyes, Abby gave them to En. "Eh...Yes Si, we're not going anywhere." She rubbed her hair out of guilt. After all he would leave and disappear after Elyos returned and normalcy returned. Things will be fine, if they can catch Seth, can control the dream controller.

Meanwhile, in a hospital downtown. A man appeared to help the woman sit back in her wheelchair. They came out of the medical rehab room after completing recovery therapy.

Arch turned his wheelchair toward the park, without a word. During this month, Arch treated the mother who suffered a mild stroke due to hypertension that Maya idap. During this month, the Arch's head was only filled with Sia's face. How's the girl doing now? Is Sia looking for herself? Did the girl feel like she lost herself after Arch left without saying goodbye?

"What do you think, Arch?" Arch shook his head at Maya's question.

"You can go back to the office next week. Mama is healed. Also about your match with Rissa. I hope you get engaged to her as soon as possible."

"But Ma, why rush? Ae's sister is not married. Why Arch should be engaged." Arch Protest. This is why he doesn't like to go home. Forced this and that. To work, Arch is no problem. He knew he had to earn. But the woman's business, the man completely disagreed. He wants to find his own partner. Or he has found a woman who catches his attention. And it's not Rissa.

Arch was shocked when Rissa came to see Maya during the hospital opening. From there he knew that Rissa was just pretending to be a freelancer to approach him. Rissa thinks she's gonna figure out the nature of Arch by being a lowly employee. Not with his real identity. Clarissa Atmaja's. Grandchild of the Atmaja family. What happens next is, Rissa falls in love first sight at Arch. Especially the nature of Arch that Rissa really likes. According to Rissa Arch the kind of man who does not easily turn away from the woman he already likes. Rissa is trying to get Arch's attention. Now, once Rissa knows how Arch is, she'll be betrothed to Arch. Things that make Maya jump happy. But it feels like a storm for Arch.

"I don't want to, Ma. I don't like him."

"Is it because of him? She's just a normal girl. Not like Rissa."

"Since when did Mama pay attention to the status of a woman to be our companion. Mama knows Arch. If that's Brother Ae up to you. But Arch doesn't like to be betrothed." Arch snorted in annoyance at Maya's sounding very demeaning to Sia. The man doesn't like it.

Maya smiles faintly hearing the rebuttal of her youngest son. He wanted to know the extent to which Arch struggled to resist this matchmaking.

"You want to make Mama sick again Arch?"

Arch hurriedly approached his mother. "No, Ma..."

"Then accept this match. So that my mom doesn't bother thinking about you. If you're with Rissa, mama calm down."

Arch speechless. The doctor did say that the trigger for the blood of the mother soared up was because of a lot of thoughts. One of them is because of him. Arch obviously didn't want anything bad to happen to his mom. The man looked down lethargic. Did he have to give up on this match for the sake of the health of the mother.

"She, I really have a deep taste in you. Ilove you. You're the only one who treats me without knowing who I am."

Arch whispered softly in his room. The man was half desperate. One ultimatum he also received from his father.

"Work well there. Break up with that girl. Or Papa will do things you never imagined him to do."

An Arch threat received from Irwan Wijaya, the papa. This made Arch a dilemma. Can Arch ignore Sia, when the girl is nearby? Can Arch heed his ears and mute his lips when Sia is in front of his eyes. Can Arch do that, if Sia and herself ever share a life for two months. A life that feels sweet to Arch.
