Loving Your Own Friend

MensahSen Episode 47

I decided to go to sleep, tired of all this. It turns out that love makes people crazy, lost common sense evaporates along with mistakes made by our loved ones, so we easily forgive him.

I have been trying to sleep for hours, I have tried various positions, but every time I close my eyes, Arka's face always appears. Finally I lost, I took the phone under the pillow. I open the gallery and then I click the folder that says Arabic:-*, the smile expands every time I see our photos from childhood to high school graduation, that moment of togetherness, that joy, that joy, it was all beautiful before we had our own couple. Only the photo became a medicine to relieve my longing for Arka. Not long after, I fell asleep with tears still wet on my cheeks.

I lazily got out of bed, took a shower and cleaned myself, and prepared to go to the restaurant.

The dining table had Ernan and mama, who I came to them after coming out of the room. I kissed your cheek and sat down next to Ernan who was having breakfast.

"Are you still in touch with Arka? " ask Ernan flatly.

I kept silent because I knew it would be long-tailed if I argued with him.

"I warned you, brother, but if you still can't stay away from him, then whatever. I won't interfere in your affairs anymore, but don't expect me to help if something happens to you one day! " he said and stood up and left the table.

I let out a long sigh, I know Ernan's intentions well, he doesn't want me to be hurt for the umpteenth time because of Arka. But what if my heart still has feelings for her.

"Darling, whatever decision you make, you know that's best for you. But don't let your feelings for her make you miserable, son" said Mama softly.

"The image must be how ma, even Citra does not know. "my words began to shed tears.

"Follow your heart. But you must remember that if Arka now has a wife, do not let you damage the household. There are still many other men out there who you are sure are better than Arka. "mama said and stood by stroking my head.

"Whatever your decision, I hope it doesn't hurt anyone, son.

I finally went to the restaurant worried. I did my usual work until lunch time.

While I was talking to Sari, my phone rang.

Who else if not Arka. He told me to come to a cafe close to the restaurant. At first I refused, but he threatened to come here and take me away by force at all costs.

I say goodbye to Sari's sister to go see someone. After arriving at the cafe, I immediately entered and saw Arka talking to two men who seemed clearly older than him.

When he looked at me standing up, he waved his hand. I nervously approached him. He introduced me as a friend to the two, who turned out to be Arka's business partner, they were having a meeting, but it was almost done.

I finally waited for Arka to finish the meeting by sitting next to Arka.

"It's a pity that Mr. Arka already has a partner, when I was just going to introduce my father to my son" said one of Arka's business partners.

Arka just smiled without saying anything.

"Sorry for making you wait" said Arka with a smile.

Honestly, my heart melted when I saw her smile, for some reason I became like this ABG.

"Yes that's okay, there should be no need to force me to come here. You are also busy, "I said with a frown.

"I just want to be accompanied by lunch, that's just China, just like it should be threatened first" he said by pinching my cheek.

We eat quietly and talk about things, but not personal matters, Arka very keeps a meeting of his personal affairs, especially about Rika. I don't know when he'll explain everything, but I don't want to ask, let him tell me himself without asking.

After we finished eating, we went back to each other. Arka went back to her office, and I went back to the restaurant. Somehow but I feel very happy today, especially because I can get back close to Arka, when I know this is wrong, but my heart seems to refuse to blame everything.

Since then, Arka and I have met often. Arka often invites me to restaurants for lunch or just a coffee. I don't know how she feels about me, but being with her can make me happy and feel more alive.

I thought that this was just a meeting, we were friends, since we met often, so what's wrong.

***

In the morning when I reached the office, I heard my employees whispering Arka's name, but I could not hear her clearly. I ignored it and I kept walking towards my room, not so important in my opinion.

But the next morning and the next day I heard the same thing and even their numbers increased, they were whispering whatever. Over time I became curious, finally I called some employees to come to my room.

When they entered the room, it was clear that their faces were scared and anxious.

"Just get to the point, explain what you've been talking about lately!? " just ask them.

At first they did not confess, and kept saying that there was nothing. But they finally acknowledged the truth.

"Sorry ma'am before, we heard the news that Mr. Arka who often picked up the mother already has a wife, and the news that circulated the mother was touted to be an actor" replied one of the employees with a bow.

DEG...

My heart suddenly beats rapidly, my body heats up after hearing the statements of my employees.

Is it true what my employees said, news from where, who gave such news. I know very well if Arka covers that she already has a wife on anyone. Even though I don't know the reason.
