MARRIED

Arkana Baby

Julia looked at her baby's face, she was so happy to have a child she would raise with all her heart. However, he was still at a loss to give a name that suited him.

After 2 days, Julia and the baby were allowed to go home. For a while, Julia stayed at her mother's house. She was not very healthy and could not care for her baby alone.

Julia's days became a new experience for her. Caring for a baby is not as easy as she thought. Sometimes when you see the baby, tears almost drip down her cheeks. She felt sorry for her baby who would never meet her real father.

If it is like that, usually Julia can only hug her baby, hoping that her affection will be quite poured out and able to become a mother and a father for her child.

Julia spent a week being a mother. Mama and Papa ask her what her baby's name is, but Julia is not sure of a suitable name.

One cloudy afternoon, Julia was cradling her baby in the garden next to the house when she saw a car stop in front of the house.

Irfan got out of his car and his smile grew when he saw Julia holding her baby.

"Hello, Julia. Long time no see. Whoa ... It's a baby boy, isn't it?" tanya Irfan admires a baby in Julia's arms.

"Hello, Irfan. My baby's a boy."

"What's his name, little baby?" irfan asked while looking at baby Julia.

"I haven't given him a name yet. I'm confused" said Julia who looked sad.

"What a pity for a little baby. Can I give him a name?" asked Irfan who really hoped Julia would allow it.

"By, Fan. What do you think the name fits?" Julia asked back.

"I remember for a moment. When I was in college, Irfan and I used to imagine that if we had a son, I would name my son Kenzo. Karel wanted to name Arkana. Yeah right, I remember that name Arkana." Irfan was glad to still be able to remember that name.

"Did Karel really want that name? It's only fitting that I haven't found a suitable name. Maybe my baby is waiting for you to say a name for her from her father's gift" Julia smiled happily but was also moved.

Irfan looked at Julia's face, realizing that Julia still missed Karel. Especially now with the fruit of his love with Karel. Irfan commented on the smile on his lips, maybe he should be patient waiting until Julia opened her heart again.

"Irfan, thank you very much. Now my baby has a name, Arkana Mahendra." Julia felt that the name was indeed suitable for her baby.

"Well happy little baby, now I will call 'Arka' yes," said Irfan smilingly looking at the adorable baby Arka.

Irfan talked to Julia for a long time. Change stories as long as they don't meet. Irfan asked if Ben had ever come since Julia gave birth. But Julia said Ben hadn't come.

"Jul, Ben is busy. He went back and forth to take care of his divorce with Nadine. The trial is quite long because Nadine is not willing to divorce," explained Irfan.

"really? Ben and Nadine should never have divorced. I hope they can rejoice."

"Hopefully yes."

Before evening, Irfan went home. Julia was very pleased with Irfan's arrival. Moreover, Irfan like carrying a message from Karel. Julia still smiles if she remembers Irfan. I don't know why he misses talking to Irfan.

But then he threw away the feeling, not wanting to think too much about it. Mungin his longing is just a longing for old friends.

***

Almost two months old baby Arka. Julia has started to return to her own home. He was looking for a baby sitter to help him. Especially if Julia has to go back to work soon.

Mama will still come to Julia's house if there is time, watch baby Arka.

Ben stands up and smiles when he sees Julia.

"Hello, Julia. How's it going? Sorry just now I'm coming" said Ben.

"Hello, Ben. Please come in."

Julia was no wonder to see Ben. It seemed like he was used to Ben coming and going as he pleased. But if you think about it, Julia forbade Ben from seeing her yesterday.

"Thank you, Jul."

Julia invites Ben to sit in the living room. Ben asks where the baby is and Julia says Arka is sleeping with her nanny.

"Julia, I'm sorry I didn't come to see you for so long" Ben said.

"It's okay, Ben."

"I was really preoccupied by that Nadine. He extended the divorce trial. I'm almost out of patience" Ben explained.

"Then what now?" ask Julia curiously.

"Huh thankfully now it's been decided her divorce. Still waiting for the official letter process, but legally I and Nadine are divorced" said Ben who did not look sorry. It might look more like relief.

"Ben, then what's Nadine's fate?"

"Don't worry, Jul. Now that Nadine's working, I keep buying her a house that's not too far from her place of work" Ben said.

"Julia, long time no see you. I miss you so much, Jul." Ben looked into Julia's eyes.

Julia replied with a smile, she was unwilling to respond to Ben at this moment. For some reason from the time he divorced Ben, his heart has let Ben go. He only considers Ben as his best friend and it is impossible for him to give more feelings to Ben.

"Ben, do you want to see Arka?" asked Julia to switch the conversation.

"Of course" said Ben quickly. She was very curious about the baby Julia. He was eager to meet.

"What's his name?" ben asked as he walked after Julia from behind.

"Arkanah Manhendra. Hopefully he will be a bright and wise leader" Julia said proudly.

"Amen."

Julia invites Ben to Arka's bedroom which is still seen sleeping soundly in her bed box. Ben looked at Arka, the adorable little baby, but not the baby. If only he had the Ark. I think Ben would love to have a baby. Arka will he consider as his own child.

"Julia, I'm ready to be a papa to Arka. Please teach Arka to call me 'Papa'. Ben said as he looked at Arka's tiny face. Maybe he fell in love with this baby.

Julia's eyes instantly widened and looked at Ben strangely. It seemed like Ben was unaware of what he had just said. Being a papa to Arka?
