All the way home, Arnold did not stop thinking about Sekar. The shadow of Sekar's past while still with him continued to appear around his mind.
"When he's hard, I'm with him. To happy him, to arouse his spirit, to make his life return to normal. When he was fine, happy, why should he be with Arka?" The mind in the heart. His hand held the wheel so tightly.
"Big brother why?" Tanya Pasha noticed the change in Arnold's countenance and her tight grip on the steering wheel.
"Oh? Nope." Answer's short.
***
Viona still did not think at the act of Sekar earlier, she was now in a taxi to go to Tami's house and without Arka.
Arka himself is currently doing a massage on his dizzy forehead while taking care of Sekar and Viona.
"In my life, I don't like getting resistance from enemies!" Viona said as she clenched her hand.
Yes, her life is like a queen. He is like the ruler of this world where no woman can bully and oppose him. Especially women like Sekar, surely Viona's anger is piling up.
***
The plan has worked. Arka does not go with Viona, but why is Sekar so restless? In the room, he paced back and forth like an iron.
Occasionally, he bit his fingernails. Worry, that's what he feels right now.
"Blue?" Arka heard calling him from outside and made Sekar forced to end his balance.
"Yes mas?" Ask when it came down from above and now facing Arka.
"Be prepared!"
Sekar scrunched his forehead. Will his fears and worries be proven?
Yes, the thing that makes Sekar worried to pacing back and forth is that he is afraid Viona comes to his house with her father-in-law Tami and scolds Sekar who forbids Arka to take Viona. Not only that, Sekar was also afraid that Arka was angry with him for holding back his departure.
Just looking down "I'm sorry Mas, I didn't mean to do that." Lirih.
Now replace the Arka who frowned "You mean?" Ask.
"Sorry. Mas told me to get ready to be angry with Viona and Mamah Tami soon, right? I-I'm ready."
Arka who was drinking immediately willed when she heard what Sekar said with his lethargic tone.
"Not really, that's not what I meant." He said after successfully stabilizing the throat that had choked.
"Then?" Ask Sekar plain.
"Prepare to go out."
Sekar added surprised, he did not expect what he did earlier his danger could be this big. Not only angry, Arka turned out to tell him to leave.
With a moment, Sekar sat down and bowed his body. Being expelled and having no place to live is something that Sekar fears.
"I promise I won't do it again, I promise. It was just a prank, sorry. I promise I really promise." He said while prostrating under the Ark.
Arka's eyebrows shot up next to her, but she laughed afterwards.
"Wake up, I'm not a king so don't bow down to me." He said while waking up Sekar.
"I want us to go outside and have lunch outside, not kick you out of this house."
I looked at Arka deeply. Bead eyes and twinkle of light make Arka swallow, Sekar is very beautiful when viewed from a close distance especially when this is wearing a clear expression. Euh, would love Arka to chew the beautiful eyes of ping pong Sekar ball.
"Eat outside? Wh-wh-what for? I cooked this morning." Answer Sekar, still with his innocent face.
"What cooking? Cook shrimp? You don't like shrimp." Cercah Arka's.
"And I can cook tel-"
"You want to be a chicken? Deal with eggs only." Arka speech cuts the word Sekar.
"I don't want to know, get ready in 5 minutes." As if he told Sekar to get ready in just 5 minutes, he himself went to the garage to check the car and check Waluyo whether he slept or not.
But 5 minutes is enough time for a Sekar even very enough. He just needs to change clothes, wear powder, spray perfume and wear shoes.
Hair business? He can get them on the road by hand. The lipstick? No need, Sekar's lips are already naturally red. That is what is always in the mind of Sekar when he does not want to dress up.
"Yo?" Ask Arka, she's looking for Waluyo.
"Njeh sir?" Waluyo replied as she exited the garage.
"You get ready and also prepare the car, I and Sekar want to eat outside." Let's have a brief arcs.
"Se se se, wait sir. Eating out? Same with Sekar?"
Arka nodded in exchange for a 'yes' answer'
"That means it should be both, sir, don't take me." Waluyo answered without hesitation.
"What do you want to do?" Ask Arka.
"Sare (sleep), hehe." Cengengesan.
"Wong crazy!" Jerky Arka.
Occasionally, if the mood is good Arka often utters Javanese or even Sundanese sentences. It was caused by contracting from Waluyo, but it sounded funny if Arka said it.
"Yes, sir. I drove in front, Mr. Sekar sat next to my father while holding his hand. Keep playing around on the street, but watch the sidewalk!"
Arka is famous for her cold and cruel attitude, but it makes Waluyo challenged to continue questioning her. As at this time, Arka just told him to get ready to also prepare the car and drive him to eat outside because it was his duty, but he instead talked about the others.
And strangely Arka, he will not be angry at Waluyo and his silly behavior. This is because all this time Waluyo who always accompany Sekar when Sekar alone and need friends.
"Just help open the gate." Finally Arka followed what Waluyo said to go together with Sekar, but did not follow his orders that say playful!
"Who is my boss." He said with respect and passion 45.

"Lho's? You why?" Tami was surprised to see Viona who came in crying.
"here, here. Sit first. Bi Iyam's? Get me a glass of water." Tell Tami to her maid.
Viona still continued her sobs while leaning on Tami's shoulder.
With affection and tenderness, Tami stroked Viona's head, "You why dear? Let's tell Auntie."
"Vi-Viona scolded Sekar aunty." His sister. He said like a little boy whining about asking to buy a toy balloon.
"Huh?" Tami was aghast, he even got up from his seat.
"Anged because of what?" Inquiringly.
"So I asked Arka to drive me here and she forbade it after it scolded me." Said Viona by putting on a face as clear as possible.
"After that Viona was pushed and told to go alone." His sobs are getting louder.
But Tami is not a stupid woman or like in-laws in soap operas. He knows very well how to be. Sekar is not someone who is rude and irritable. Even if he is angry, it must be because of something that is difficult to forgive. Tami also knows how Viona is and how she behaves.
But in order for Viona not to be hurt, Tami pretends to believe and act as if Tami is on Viona's side and is also disappointed in what Sekar does.
"Why could he be that rude? Aunt didn't expect." Tami. Though he did not expect the attitude of Viona whose tongue is venomous and the handyman complained.
"I don't know when I just asked to be delivered here, didn't Auntie herself ask me to come here?" Whiney Viona while holding Tami's hand.
Although her hands were in hand, her hair was in elus and even her kidneys were blown, Tami would not believe Viona. Just because of something was why he pretended to believe in this complainant girl.
"You don't cry, you already are. Maybe Sekar is sensi."
"Yes. Poor thing Arka has a wife judes kayak Sekar." Hearing Viona's words, Tami just held back a laugh. Viona thinks she knows everything more than Tami, but not at all.
"What did aunt call me here?" Viona asked when she was done with her cultural tears.
"Oh yes. Auntie wants to meet your mom, when is she gonna have time?" Ask Tami.
"Mammy? Oh I don't know, he's always busy. Viona'll let me know if Mamah has time to spare." Viona replied with a smile.
"That's it, smile. It's sweet." Tami said while gently stroking Viona's head so as to make Viona rem sticky made.

"And I told you we wanted to eat, why do you look like you want to grow crops?" Arka watched Sekar from head to toe and then denounced him.
Sekar frowned. "It's not usual for Mas Arka to complain about my clothes." His inner.
Yes, not usually or even almost never Arka commented on the article of clothing that Sekar wore before. Never mind to comment, just glance at Arka never.
Why is he so attentive today. It all started from when Arka cleaned the house until when Arka knew that Sekar was used to eating with Indomie and eggs. From there he promised himself that he would be a better husband.
"I-i." Sekar.
"Just so! Later we go to the salon only (Want to know how beautiful Sekar when using make up? You can see it in NT, at the end of this chapter."
Arka forcefully pulled Sekar's arm as if it was a puppet arm.
"You're a reincarnated girl, huh?" Ask Arka when they are already in the car.
"Huh?" He rounded his eyes.
"You're a reincarnated girl, huh, Sekar?"
Instead of answering, the girl called Sekar even carved a smile. He was happy when Arka said his name.
"I-you mean?" Even though his name was already mentioned, he was still flirting.
"Cold, quiet, unmixed, rarely talked, rarely socialized, as is. I suspect you're a mermaid sent into this world to find something?"
Just laughs softly. Arka averted her gaze and involuntarily smiled when she saw Sekar laughing.
"The CEO's wife, wants to eat out but looks like she's about to grab a bite." He said as he shook his head and continued to focus on driving.
Just bowed, the smile that had expanded he folded deeply. Not knowing whether Arka was angry or was praising him.
KEDAS'S BEAUTY
A famous salon in town. The Salon that Arka and Sekar will now enter and turn Sekar into an angel, or maybe more.
"Welcome to the Kedas's Beauty Mr, Mr.s" greeted one of the maids with a bow. Percis as Sekar used to do to Arka if you'll excuse me.
Smile and come and bow. Unlike Arka, she played so well that she made Sekar smile wryly to hold the shame because of her husband's impolite behavior.
"I want you to dress her up." He told a servant while pointing at Sekar who was looking down.
"Fulfilling customer wants is our job. Can I see the basic face?" Slowly he lifted his head.
"Well, it looks like this time's customer will get us confused." Said the man in the shirt.
Arka's forehead shriveled "Why?"
"Even the result of our polish is far inferior to its natural beauty." Said the man amazed.
"Whatever. The important thing is to dress her as beautiful as possible." Arka passed by to go to the waiting room.
"One more. I'm her husband and I command that serving her should be a woman." He put his hand in his pants pocket and then walked casually.
"Ready for a sweet girl's new look?" Ask the man.
Sekar nodded.
"Yes, come. By the way your husband droplets tiger well? It looks so bad." Just smiling and looking down.
