Picking Up the Past

Still As Old as Corn

“Arya” muttered Mila who did not like Arya's view.

“why is Anjani here?” arya asked Mila.

“what's the problem if I meet my own best friend?” anjani asked tightly, he did not like the attitude of Arya who he felt did not want his presence there.

“Anjani tomorrow want fiancee, she wants to calm down first here,” explained Mila briefly.

Anjani looks at Arya with her face off, while Arya takes a rough breath looking at Anjani's face, she then ignores it all. He sat down at the dinner table and drank a glass of water.

Vanessa then sits down at the dining table following Mila who sits beside Arya, while Anjani still stands near the kitchen table with an annoyed look at Arya. The man seemed not to want to be friends with her since the beginning they met, even though he had tried to behave as well as possible with Arya.

“you have come home at this hour Arya?, usually not afternoon” said Mila while leaning her head on Arya's arm, she wants to show Anjani that Arya is hers.

Anjani just casually saw Mila's attitude, he washed his hands that were still dirty because of the cake dough he made, for then he immediately sat at the dining table on the chair opposite to Arya's position.

“I was yesterday told you want to look around the same car our new apartment Mil, so I came home quickly now, and earlier why did you not deliver supplies as usual?” asked Arya who returned to fill her glass with water.

“you'll see for yourself there's Anjani here,”

“you also did not say he came, you should have told me anyone who came here and also anyone who met you” Arya said flatly.

Mila swallowed her saliva instantly, ‘why do I have to go all the way, does Arya not believe me yet?, is this because of Arnes bang yesterday?’ mila's inner self that felt swallowed by something.

While Vanessa and Anjani are just flat to see the couple.

“you cook what Mil, I haven't had lunch last” said Arya by rubbing her face rough.

“I cooked the fried fish earlier, you want?, I get ya” said Mila who immediately rose from her seat, she then immediately prepared food for Arya.

While Vanessa just noticed it all without wanting to say much, for her the relationship Arya and Mila had developed rapidly, every problem that occurred in the household of her sister-in-law did not want her to offend in the slightest. For him Arya is quite calm to solve problems and make decisions, as well as Mila, her sister-in-law looks have changed from her stubborn attitude first.

“you're mad at me Arya, do I have a problem with you?” anjani asked in an annoyed tone. Mila who was taking food for Arya immediately turned to Arya and Anjani who were facing each other.

After he finds out who Anjani really is, it makes him even more uncomfortable if Arya is near Anjani.

“no, how was the design yesterday, is there any problem?” arya asked casually without looking at Anjani, Arya still saw the empty glass that she was wearing.

“if any, do you want to change it?”

“you already know my answer, right?”

“then just liken the lobby interior design with the previous hotel design, that's all I want to change, let it be the hallmark of my hotel later, if the others I'm okay kok”.

Anjani actually wants to talk a lot with Arya, including her hotel design issues, but seeing Arya's flat attitude, instead makes her uncomfortable. He prefers to give up, 'let's just the design of the hotel, it's very good, besides I just want to talk to Arya on the grounds of the hotel, but his attitude is not wearing a kayak gini'

Mila approached Arya by serving food in front of her husband, "in the end of it yes, I cooked myself earlier" said Mila who answered Arya with a nod and smile, "your cooking must be me out of it"

Mila smiles to see Arya, she then sits back next to Arya while holding Arya's hand, she does that to reinforce her position in front of Anjani. While Anjani takes a rough breath looking at Mila's behavior.

'she's why?, I think I want to take her husband, ' her problems are increasing.

“you can take care of it later with my team, and we can sign the contract immediately” said Arya.

"you have eaten, I'm not even good if you eat alone like gini" continued Arya who felt uncomfortable if you had to eat alone in the middle of the 3 women.

"we have eaten, you enjoy your lunch, just relax with us" Anjani replied.

“we again learned to make a cake with brother Vanessa, that dough is still not so because you have come first” replied Anjani flatly.

“kakak can make cake too kak?” arya asked Vanessa.

“bisalah, from the past the hobby of my sister is cooking, including making cakes and I learned” Vanessa replied with a smile on Arya.

"if the cooking problem, Vanessa's brother, do not need to be asked again Arya" muttered Mila.

“then brother can open cake business later"

"not Arya, brother still designing the restaurant business with Abel and Tomy, yesterday we have made his business planning, cake business later to be thought of" explained Vanessa who answered Arya with a nod.

"nah you Anjani, you will tomorrow want a fiancee, instead of getting ready, instead of learning to make a cake” said Arya while enjoying her food, while 3 women nearby were looking closely at Arya.

“everything has been prepared by the male family, I will have said this because of business, the male family deliberately used me and my father for their benefit” Anjani replied in an upset tone.

Arya and Mila take a rough breath together, they are both concerned about the fate Anjani has to live with, but now Anjani seems much stronger in the face of it all than their previous encounter.

“then you just go ahead make the cake, do not see me eating like this, my appetite can be lost later” said Arya slowly that made Anjani and Vanessa laugh thinly at once.

After finishing eating, Arya then returned to the room, and Mila followed Arya's steps by leaving Anjani and Vanessa who were still busy with their dough.

Arya rubbed her hair rough and then laid her body on the bed, while Mila was already sitting by the side of the bed staring at her husband's every move.

“you're tired Arya?” ask Mila briefly.

“you finish first I met Mil, so I can taste it later, and later after we leave, I want to rest for a while” said Arya who stared softly bead eyes Mila.

Mila nodded softly with a smile on Arya, she then took a deep breath before speaking.

“Anjani invites us to come tomorrow to her engagement event” Mila said flatly.

“we won't come Mil”

“Anjani already thinks of me as her best friend Arya, she will definitely be disappointed if we don't come”

Arya rubbed her forehead slowly, she then pulled Mila's chin to stare deeply into her eyes. Their eyes meet and see each other in their own eyeballs.

“there she is, you want to see her?” arya's voice sounded flat on Mila.

Mila shook her head, “I want to show her if I choose you, if it makes you believe me, I will do it”.

“do not do anything Mil, do not lure his jealousy, people like him can do reckless to you, anyway if we go there, will be many people who might know me later”

Mila removed Arya's hand from her chin she turned her gaze to the other direction of their room.

“but until now you did not trust me, you even told me to say everyone I met to you” he said weakly.

Arya took a deep breath, she momentarily closed her eyes, the jealousy was still hanging beautifully on her chest, the words Arnes spent with Mila really burned her feelings, she said, not to mention their past romance, as if making his heart throb hot withstanding jealousy, he really hated those words, she said, words that burned her anger more than the man's erotic stories that grazed her ever touched Mila.

“I don't want you to hide anything from me Mil, including about him, tell me whatever happens to you as long as I'm not by your side Mil, I don't want to be selfish Mil, Mil, but as I said yesterday, don't let my stupid mind be consumed by the dirty words and slander of others against you” explained Arya pulled Mila's head to her chest.

Mila bowed silently, she realized that she was still a weak woman who was still easily deceived by the circumstances. ‘I should have realized, it is still too early for me and Arya, our marriage was only a corn, our marriage was only a year old, and we've been hit by a storm of problems of this magnitude, I have to be more patient with all these problems, maybe it takes a little longer for Arya to really believe me, he said, if he keeps my feelings by acting like this to Anjani, I should also keep his feelings that Arnes may still be affected by yesterday’ inner bang.
