Picking Up the Past

Do Your Best

Arya had just finished her work on the porch, she then went inside the house to rest for a while, and when she passed through the living room, she momentarily approached the door of Mila's room, which she was waiting for, from there he can hear Mila talking in a trembling tone. ’astaga, what is this bang Irman again’ Inner Arya, Arya, He immediately put his laptop and work documents on top of the small closet in the room.

Arya then knocked on the door of the room 2 times, and the voice of Abel told her to come in.

Arya then opened the door, she could see Mila's body behind her, from her trembling back, she could tell that she was holding back tears.

Arya's heart as if slashed to see the situation, he then looked towards Abel, “can leave us both Bel” said Arya slowly to Abel.

Abel took a rough breath, he then stood up and stared intently at Arya, “why do you guys always bother kayak gini?, not tired is there a problem continue” grumbled Abel on Arya, Arya, then he went out of the room.

‘indeed who wants to have problems?’ upset Arya in her mind, Arya then locks the door of the room and approaches Mila who is still behind her Arya then hugs Mila from behind and kisses Mila's right temple.

“what is Irman bang again?” ask Arya slowly. Mila then nodded slowly trying to hold back her sobs.

“what did he say?” arya asked again, and Mila shook her head, signaling that she did not want to answer the question.

'how could I tell Arya that bang Irman wanted to sell me his own sister just to save the company, bang Irman obviously lied to me, obviously, Tomy had already said that I would never be able to get wife status in the Arnes bang family, then what could he do to ascertain my wife's status if I was with the Arnes bang, then what could he do to ensure my wife's status if I was with the Arnes bang, basic man*******, he, bang Arnes and father, just the same, can never appreciate the honor of the woman’ inner Mila endured her pain.

Arya then opens Mila's veil, she pulls Mila's body and guides her to lie on the bed face to face, She stared into the wet bead of Mila's eyes by stroking his wife's white cheeks, while Mila stared fixedly at her husband's face with an erratic feeling in her heart.

“what do you want to do now?” arya asked Mila,

“aku,, I don't know what to do now, I don't want my family to be destroyed, and grandfather, I'm afraid grandfather's health will decline again Arya” replied Mila slowly.

“don't think of going back now, if we go back now, things will be a lot harder, I don't want to have to hit your brother or the man if they dare to touch just a little from your clothes” said Arya in a flat tone.

“Arya, I don't want you to fight so” Mila said in an unhappy tone.

“hen therefore you should not think to return to Jakarta now, do not worry about grandfather and mother, they must have known for a long time that the state of your family company will be like this, this is your brother's fault, this is your brother's fault, he should pay for it, not you, your honor is my honor too Mil, so don't think to refute my words, since I am doing this to take care of you as well, I will help you solve all your problems, now believe in me, follow the path I choose, inshaAllah all will be fine” Arya told Mila.

Hearing Arya's words, Mila recalled to Miss Annisa's words this morning which were almost the same as Arya's, that the honor of a wife was also the honor of her husband, and the advice kept spinning in her head, until the sentence, ‘we have no power to protect them there, we only have God son, through our prayers and belief in God, we are sure, we have, God will protect them for us’ the sentence was ringing in Mila's ear.

’I have to believe in Arya, everything will be fine, right said aunt, I have God who will take care of mom and grandpa there’ inner Mila.

Mila then approaches Arya and hides her head in Arya's chest, and Arya immediately hugs his wife.

‘thank goodness Mila is a little calmer’ Inner Arya.

After their atmosphere was quiet for a long time, Arya then rose from her bed after Mila fell asleep due to fatigue after her energy was drained by her emotional feelings.

As he opened the door of the room, Abel, Vanessa and her aunt sitting in the living room glared sharply at him, ‘astaga, what is it?’

“you are very irritated yes, it is still daytime, but you have pranked your wife” said Miss Annisa who was sitting processing ingredients in the living room with Vanessa and Abel.

“what the heck bi, let me do what try,”

“you're in the room with your wife and then lock the door so they both can't get in, can't you hold it here?” said Miss Annisa was questioning her adopted son.

‘astaga, that's right, aunty really embarrassed me now’ inner Arya with her flat face.

“bi, Vanessa to the room bertar ya bi” Vanessa said to Miss Annisa, Vannesa then rose to enter the room, she stared at Arya who was still standing near the door of the room.

“what's all okay?” vanessa asked Arya slowly so as not to sound Annisa ma'am.

“where are you?, Mila really needs a sister now” said Arya tone the same softly as Vanessa.

“kakak went with aunt to the market earlier, delivered with Tomy with uncle's car, and you same Mila where was it?” vanessa asked Arya.

“cleansed his mind, Mila's response was much quieter than I thought, but still I was worried if his brother kept bothering him, so I blocked his number on Mila's phone, and if she contacts brother, it's better that brother doesn't pick her up” Arya told Vanessa.

“thank God that Mila is not too carried away by emotions, just do what you think is best dek” said Vanessa passed away going into the room.

Arya then approached her aunt and then lay there.

“where is your wife, she wants to learn to cook too right?” ask Annisa to Arya.

“again sleeping bi, he seems tired once” Arya replied casually.

“meeya you do not do it afternoon - noontime kayak gini,” said bu Annisa again.

“ahh aunty, we do not say kok” grumbled Arya with annoyance.

“Can't you just lie in Arya's room, why lie there?, just ruin my eyes” Abel said innocently to Arya.

Arya then got up and looked at Abel with an annoyed grunt. He then took his laptop and his paperwork, and walked to the back room to sleep there.
