Mahligai Infidelity
- Resume Life-Sustaining
Sculpting the joy in Brian's eyes made Arkan very sick. He doesn't deserve to be happy after everything he's done.
Arkan's gaze continued to cling to Brian's face. The happy day of his parents is celebrated along with the engagement of Brian, the man who has killed many people.
The longer you stay in that room makes Arkan more nauseous. Without saying goodbye Arkan immediately turned back his wheelchair and came out of the room.
“Arkan, son,” call Jenny but Arkan keeps walking out. He was not distracted by the voice of his mother and father.
“Tante, let me follow up Arkan,” Sheila said faintly in Arkan's ear.
Outside Daniel was already standing at the door in a neat black suit.
“Daniel?” greet Arkan.
“Congratulations sir, the end of his you siuman,” the remark that first came out of Daniel's mouth.
“Why not enter? You were standing here?” ask Arkan.
“Iya, I wait for the master to come out from inside.”
“Why wait for me outside?” ask Arkan a little confused.
“Because sir already has no position in the company, so I will now be the master's personal driver. I officially started working today,” Daniel said.
“You are not worthy of that position, you are smart in every way, what is my driver for,” Arkan said.
“Since the lord disappeared and was in a coma, I already have no job. Thank goodness you are aware now,” said Daniel again.
Arkan looked at Daniel's face. He looks happy and very excited.
“Arkan,” Sheila's voice from behind approached her.
“I'll be home. You don't have to follow me,” Arkan told Sheila.
“But the show has just started. Why hunt to go home?” ask Sheila.
“The next event is Brian's show. See the press about his engagement, no more connection with me,” Arkan said.
“Ya already, then I will drive you home.” bargain Sheila.
“Daniel is here he will drive me,” reject Arkan.
“Arkan.” call Jenny. sound Jenny step from inside direction.
“Daniel, you go between Sheila and go home,”, Jenny said.
“Ma, i-,”
“You have the heart to let Sheila go home alone?” cut Jenny.
“Sheila, Thank you for attending the aunt show. Auntie very happy,” said Jenny friendly.
“Sama aunty, Sheila is also happy to be able to mingle with aunty family, everything is friendly and good.”
“Then I say goodbye to go home first yes tan,” Sheila hugs lightly Jenny's body.
“Yes, you guys take heart on the road.”
Sheila began pushing Arkan's wheelchair into the hotel lobby. In front of the lobby Daniel was on standby in the car waiting for them.
Along the way Arkan was more silent. When Sheila asked her to speak, she nodded more often and sometimes shook her head. He had no intention of returning Sheila's sincerity. Wulan had already taken her place in the heart. Either way until that time, he would still keep space in his heart just for Wulan.
“Your address?” ask Arkan briefly.
“Cambodia Number 5, I still live with my parents. This is still my old home address,” Sheila replied.
The car goes directly to the address given.
Along the way Sheila tried to melt the atmosphere by telling a lot about their school days. He didn't give up a single bit to attract Arkan's attention. She once failed to get Arkan's heart, but this time, Sheila felt confident, she could definitely get the man's heart. It just takes more effort than before.
“I remember you used to come here to take group assignments. You must remember when we were assigned to the Durian group,”, Sheila said evoking memories when they were in college.
Arkan nodded.
“Our group got the top rank. Our science work is included in the best work and gets a special attention from the rector. It's just that you moved away, our science group broke up. So his work stagnates no longer developing,” Sheila said in a disappointed tone.
“Daniel from here turn left,” Arkan said.
“It turns out you still remember this road. The fastest way to arrive home,” Sheila said again.
After turning left, they entered a small, slightly damaged street. But just a few meters ahead, they would arrive at Sheila's house.
“Thank you for accompanying me,” Arkan said after the car stopped in front of the house.
Sheila was speechless, Arkan saying as if to get her out of the car immediately.
“Thank you for driving me,” reply Sheila then get out of that car.
“Chhh, mama is very late,” sis Arkan.
“We go home now sir?” ask Daniel.
“No Dan, we sit down first while drinking tea here,” chirped Arkan.
“Master can aja,” said Daniel then continue the journey back home.

The next day after waking up from sleep, Arkan immediately grabbed a stick by his bedside. He still needs the stick to support his weight.
Because to shower and urinate he does not need a nurse who makes it quite uncomfortable while continuing to be by his side. At least with the help of a stick, Arkan can already do everything himself.
Tok tok tok tok
“Lady.”
“Tuan.”
Tok tok tok tok
The sound of the door kept on being knocked from the outside.
From the bathroom, Arkan came out.
“Iya bi, soon I'm out,” shouted Arkan.
Arkan immediately combed her hair that was still wet then wore a soft textured hair gel to make it look neat.
“What's bi?” ask Arkan as soon as he opens the door.
“Mother Jenny has already left for the office, she said there was an important meeting this morning. So the master is told to come out to eat by himself,” said bi Rahma.
“Iya, I'm out now,” Arkan said.
Still with sticks in both hands Arkan walked towards the dining table. He sat down and began to eat simple dishes on the table.
“Which father bi?” ask Arkan.
“Bapak who drove mom, but he said you will go directly to Surabaya this morning. New night back here,” bi Rahma replied.
“The couple is newly married, but already too busy with their respective work affairs. Why not enjoy a relaxing life in their old days?” arkan muttered.
“Mothers are indeed rare in the host house. What else when the young master was still in the hospital, the mother never went home to sleep at home,” said bi Rahma.
“That is exactly what they get married for if finally their goals and directions are different. Dad to Surabaya, mom to the office until night,” Arkan said
“But since the company in the hands of the mother, the company is very good sir. It turns out that mother has the pent-up talent in managing the company,” praise bi Rahma.
“It wasn't because of mama bi's talent, dad was the person behind it. It must be the father who arranged the mama, believe me deh,” said Arkan.
“Young master really does not believe in his own mother. Though mother took over the company for the sake of mr. loh,” said bi Rahma
Arkan speechless.
“Mama did this to get rid of Brian's oversized power. But for what? I don't care about that company anymore. The company that mom and dad raised now, the tip of his end will fall into Brian's hands as well. I have my own plans to continue my life,” Inner Arkan.
