MY LOVELY AUTHOR'S

THE WIYARTA FAMILY AND THE DRAMA IN IT PART 4

“I don't know, Author.”

            That was the only answer I could get from Arata regarding his family who in a matter of days kept appearing before me, introducing himself to me and trying to get to know me. If I had to compare Arata's story and what I saw in a matter of days, then the answer would be a mismatch.

            Arata said that his family considers himself a failure in the lives of many people.  But seeing how they treated me over the past few days and ignoring the attitude and nature of the three Wiyarta brothers, I could clearly see that the Arata family should be a good family, she said, warm and maybe a family that many people want and dream of, including me.

            At a time like this .. I actually remember how my family treated all this time. I thought ... once they - my father and mother - loved me. Seeing that they were always proud of my accomplishments, I thought it was a sign that they loved me. But .. I was wrong. What I saw, what I valued and what I thought, turned out to be all a mistake. As soon as I got into trouble that made their names smudge, my father and mother instantly changed their gazes at me. That warm gaze, proud gaze and loving gaze in an instant disappeared and turned into an annoyed look, a look of anger and a regretful look.

            Seeing them look at me with that regretful look, I felt that all the life I had been living was with them, all my efforts for their sake and all the feelings that are in my heart, look like a joke.

            “What does Author think??” Arata suddenly called out to me and made all the daydreams I had in mind instantly evaporate and leave.  “Why suddenly fall silent?”

            “A-I just thought about how today, your family and my own family. I haven't seen them in a long time. After what happened to me and what made them feel ashamed of having a child like me, I did not dare to meet them. You know what reason I let you stay beside me even though I initially vehemently rejected your righteous existence, Arata?”

            “What is it, Author?” Because Arata was driving his own car to pick me up, so Arata could only occasionally look at me because he had to focus on looking at the street in front of him.

            “I myself am a failure in the lives of many. When I hear you say that .. I feel like I'm meeting someone who understands what I've been feeling all along. So ... subconsciously I let you continue to be by my side. I'm starting to tolerate everything about you and everything you've done to me. Isn't that weird?? I even got used to your status as your lover even after I was initially forced to accept this relationship because you made a public announcement. Shouldn't I not feel that way? And now when I meet your family, I feel a strange feeling.  Although not a warm family like the family I expected, I feel like I have a family again now.”

            Ckitt ... Arata suddenly made his steering wheel turn left and made his car stop on the side of the road. Those sudden movements and actions made my heart barely escape from my body because I thought that we were going to have an accident.

            “You-you're okay, Arata??” I immediately looked towards Arata, anxious and worried about his condition.

            Clik. Arata immediately released his safety belt and then clicked, in the next second Arata removed my safety belt.

            “Why did you take off safe ..”

            I had not finished my words when Arata pulled my body and put it in his arms.

            “Arata!! What are you doing??” I tried to release myself from her embrace, but Arata hugged me tightly and refused to let me go. The harder I clashed, the tighter his embrace was in my body.

            “At last I heard what I wanted to hear all this time from Author.” Since Arata was hugging me, I don't know what his expression is right now and it makes me a little frustrated.

            “What did I say to make you feel happy?” I asked with a confused face.

            “You may not realize it, but you're already starting to like me, Author. I feel very happy because I feel that my efforts so far to approach you, to reach out to you and try to make you like me, have begun to show results. Don't you know how I feel right now full of fireworks that signal my happiness?? I even want to run out of the car and tell everyone that Asha finally really likes me.”

            I shook my head at Arata's words. “Don't do that, Arata!! You can get Kak Rama in trouble for what you did.”

            Isn't this weird?? This incident kept repeating and I continued to tolerate what Arata had done to me. Coming to my apartment like his, holding my hand like I belong to him, then hugging me without warning and me. This time .. I asked myself. Do I really like Arata now?

            If it's true that I finally really like Arata, then Arata's efforts really pay off.

            Two days later ...

            From that day on, I could not sleep in peace. Many things bothered my mind and even made me unable to continue with the sixth novel I was working on. I couldn't sleep because of Arata's words back then and my own feelings were still confused and clueless. I also can't sleep thinking about Arata's family and Arata's story about his family. I felt I had to find excuses and answers for those two opposing circumstances. I feel like there's a misunderstanding here that I need to clear up.

            So with my body slightly tired from lack of sleep and the blackened under-eye from not being able to fall asleep, I decided to finish my excuse of not being able to sleep. The first reason was the Arata family.

            Finding Arata's family is not difficult.  Unlike me who is known by a pen name and recently famous for being Arata's lover, the Wiyarta family is a famous family name that has been famous for a long time. So ... if I want to find the Wiyarta family and their family members, I just need to type their names in the search engine and the search engine will provide many answer options for my needs.

            So ... here I am. After driving for about thirty minutes coupled with ten minutes due to misreading the navigation, I finally stood in front of the hospital owned by Wiyarta. I was really surprised to find this Wiyarta hospital is really big and looks very modern. The number of expensive cars parked in the parking area indicates that this hospital is one of several famous hospitals and visited by the upper class in this city.

            “Can I meet Kendra Wiyarta or Maha Wiyarta?” Once inside the hospital building owned by Wiyarta, I decided to look for Kendra or Maha, Arata's two brothers first who served lower than his father.

            “Did Miss already make an appointment?” The woman at the reception asked me that and made me realize that wanting to meet those people required an appointment first.

            “But.”

            “Sorry Miss.  If Miss wants to meet with Doctor Maha and Doctor Kendra, Miss must make an appointment first.”

            I knew this was going to happen because the Wiyarta family were not ordinary people and also their position in this hospital was a position that made him have many appointments meetings and activities that may be quite high.

            “Specifically him ... “I turned my head to see someone suddenly talking beside me. “From today, he can meet us-me and Maha without having to make an appointment first. Please note that!!”

            I immediately gave my regards when I recognized the figure. “Happy morning, Mr. Kendra Wiyarta.”

            “What made you come here, Asha?”

            Looking at Kendra with her doctor suit attached to her body as well as the work glasses attached to her face, for a moment I felt amazed at her and a little fascinated by her. Wouldn't all the patients fall in love with her when they see her?? If I make him the character in my next novel, will he mind about it??
