Spirit Medicine



Arya steps in tandem with Rita into her company's lobby. They then get into the elevator and immediately go to their respective work desks.


Rita immediately walked to her desk and sat leaning there, letting go of her fatigue, her eyes still looking red due to the emotional struggle in her heart.


“You are tired Ta, if you need time to rest, you can go home first” said Arya who saw the tired face of Rita,


“indeed you are not tired what, your eyes from this morning I saw a little puffy” replied Rita casually, Arya momentarily took a deep breath, he did not rest long last night, he did not rest long last night, but he also could not play around, the burden of his mind was growing in his head, now plus Rita who made his mind so heavy, for some reason he was so afraid to lose the girl, the presence of Rita in her secretary position is very much needed in all situations.


Arya momentarily looked towards her architectural team who was busy working, ‘all of them really make me tired, why is life as difficult as this inner sih’. The problem of Saniah, Adinata group, Irman, until now Rita burdened her mind, she took a deep breath, and then put Rita's car keys on Rita's desk.


“you come in, don't think of me” said Rita slowly so as not to be heard by people who work there.


“I promise Ta, I will release your father, I will pay your revenge to the family of Mila and my family Ta” said Arya also slowly.


Rita smiles at Arya's remark, ‘dam, I'm really tired of this grudge’ Inner Rita.


“entrance Arya, let me rest from Indra's problem”


“you don't need to think about this Ta, just focus on your work as usual, let me Ari, Arbi and Tomy take care of this all, please, I do not want you to be in a dangerous position” said Arya who then entered her room without listening to Rita's answer.


When he entered the room Ari seemed to be sitting casually on the sofa of his room. Arya let out a breath tired of seeing Ari's presence, she then entered and closed the door of her room.


“ngapain lo here?” asked Arya who stepped casually towards Ari, he then sat beside Ari who was enjoying his cigarette, Ari then took a rough breath because of Arya's presence and immediately turned off the cigarette.


“according lo?” ari asked back.


“lo want to confide in lo it” failure


“the old man at the hospital was completely beyond my prediction, but take it easy, Arbi's plan is much nicer as it seems, the man might end up in jail”


“mean lo?” arya asked who was confused by Ari's sentence.


“it's Arbi's business, not lo's business, I actually want to ngajak lo climb, but it looks like you have to take care of your wife carefully now” said Ari casually.


“means?, how come suddenly, there is a problem lo?” asked Arya flatly.


“gue nyerah with Karina,” said Ari briefly that made Arya's eyes look distrustful of Ari.


“solar, Surrender what do you mean?” arya asked in an incredulous tone.


“gue has 2 times told him that I would propose to him, but he is not excited at all, he does not have the same feeling as me, he does not have the same feeling, I can't allow him to choose something he doesn't want” Ari said flatly.


“Ri, I told you, marry her, she will love lo”


“he didn't really pick me, a week ago he said he wouldn't turn down another guy who came to propose to him, which means he's not really sure about me Arya, either, if he is sure to choose me, that sentence will not be thrown from his mouth, maybe now there is another man who attracted his heart” said Ari in a weak tone.


“gue has experience Aryan girl problems, maybe I am not worthy of a girl as good as Karina, I think I just obsessed with her, until I survive so far, I think, though I know he has absolutely no sense of the same me from the beginning” explained Ari again.


‘astaga Karina, what is less good Ari with him?, if I think even I feel guilty’ inner Arya.


“gue should release her Arya, free force, will not be happy my life and she later” said Ari casually.


“lo sure, I'm afraid you will be destroyed like people who break up dating” said Arya innocently.


“gue has been ordinary with girls, I am not going to be until the next time Kali” said Ari still casually.


“result Bian corp will come out this week, Arbi will leave for London, we have already got an official invitation from them,” said Ari diverted their talks.


“then Karina want to loose,,”


“he's my business Arya, you don't have to think about this, I know your burden is quite heavy now, the problem of romance like gini will not be able to overcome, I know, besides, I am also obsessed with women like this”, Ari said casually.


Arya took a deep breath, she closed her eyes and leaned on her sofa. “gue want to tell one thing lo Ri” said Arya briefly.


“apa? wife lo?”,,,


“not, but,,,”


“Adinata,” said Ari immediately cut Arya's sentence, Arya's eyes immediately opened and looked sharply at Ari who looked relaxed playing the butts of his cigarette that had been extinguished.


“lo know Ri?” asked Arya with a sharp look, he seemed to not believe if Ari knew the problem, but since their college friendly, the secret was always kept close to Tomy.


“no, me and Arbi need an explanation about it” replied Ari casually.


“mana Arbi, I will tell in front of him all of you, tired of my story 2 times” said Arya flatly.


“besok aja story, your wife's bodyguards have been investigating Adinata group during your trip to the village, tomorrow we will both hear their reports, and make sure all day tomorrow your wife is here, don't let him stay at home for long, his brother is getting crazy I see” said Ari flatly and then rose to get out of Arya's room.


Arya just gawked at Ari's words, he was again made in disbelief by the actions of his best friend, ‘lo really-because Ri's best friend, I owe a lot of lo, lo, you even have done what I want to do’ Inner Arya saw Ari's departure.


Arya then took a rough breath and looked at her phone. A chat notification is visible from the screen display of his locked phone. Arya then opened the chat from his wife, and he smiled reading it. The presence of Mila by his side was already enough of an antidote from all of his life's burdens.


“assalamuaikum my husband”


"sorry yes, I can't offer you this afternoon,”


“what time are you coming home?, later in the afternoon we will go to the airport yes, bang Ardian and sister Sarah will return this afternoon to Malaysia”
