Picking Up the Past

I'm his ex

The door of Arya's room suddenly opened again, Mila, Rita, and Arya simultaneously glanced towards the door, Anjani entered with a face that looked chaotic, her tears melted, and her eyes melted, the work blazer he was wearing looked crumpled.

Anjani enters with eyes full of sadness, he looks sharply alternately towards Mila and Arya, the friend he expected to come to strengthen himself, apparently did not appear at all when the engagement. His broken heart was getting crushed.

“Anjani” muttered Mila who was shocked to see Anjani's condition, she then stood staring in Anjani's face.

Anjani immediately threw his bag towards Arya's desk until it hit the floor hard, the contents scattered out of the bag.

“what's my fault with you guys?, I've considered you my best friend, I needed you last night, but you didn't come at all, don't you know how sad I was last night, my heart broke, my heart broke, but I kept being forced to smile sweetly at everyone, where you were when I needed you” Anjani said emotionally, her body weakened and she sat on the floor.

Mila immediately approached Anjani and hugged her best friend tightly, “maaf, we can not come” murmured to hold back her sadness to see the state of Anjani.

Rita momentarily looked at Arya sharply and warned her superior, “don't linger with her, you know her position kan” Rita then passed go out of the room.

Arya then stood up and picked up Anjani's bag, he chose one by one Anjani's goods scattered on the floor.

Arya then approached towards Anjani who looked sadly at her in Mila's embrace.

“I just want to be friends with you, with Mila, is that wrong?” anjani asked with a voice that sounded almost finished.

“no Anjani, you are not wrong at all, I am wrong here, as your friend, I cannot attend a difficult time in your life” replied Arya who then knelt near Anjani.

Mila rubbed gently Anjani's shoulder, she knew what Anjani was like, she used to cry sad all night because of her match with Arya, she understood what it was like in Anjani's position.

“then why didn't you guys come?, I already invited you through Mila time in your apartment”

“our circumstances do not allow Anjani, sorry, we can not tell this problem” Mila replied quietly.

“bohooong, if there is a problem, just tell me, am I not your friend” replied Anjani who was still staring sadly towards Arya.

Arya takes a rough breath, she is confused, which part she should explain to Anjani, what part Mila and Arnes or part she and Adinata group, are, it felt like those two things would be equally painful for Anjani.

Mila then asks Anjani to stand up and sit him on the sofa, while Arya walks to her desk to call the pantry to bring Anjani a drink.

Anjani rubbed her wet cheeks with the help of Mila, Mila's eyes looked so sincere as she wiped Anjani's tears, Anjani's eyes could only stare blankly at the sofa table in front of her, while Arya can only rub the rough of her hair, her work is again delayed due to the presence of Anjani.

Anjani tries to hold back her disappointment with Arya and Mila, realizing that she should not be selfish with them, but she also has no friends at all except them. 10 years she was in America, and she has no friends at all, obey his father's wishes so that he is ready to be his father's successor in the Hardi corp. When he returned to this country, he was like a stranger in his own homeland, without friends let alone friends.

“Arya,” muttered Mila saw her husband's flat face.

Arya then looked towards Mila who called out to her, Mila's eyes bulged roundly, as if wanting Arya to help her to calm down Anjani's sad sobs.

Arya smiled for a moment, she knew that she would not be able to give any solution to Anjani, all she needed to do was give something else that could make Anjani feel more happy to replace her sadness.

"do you want to come with us Anjani?" arya asked briefly, Anjani took a breath in trying to calm her feelings, she realized that she also should not overdo Arya and Mila, "where?" he said slowly.

"to the hill?" ask Mila to Arya.

Arya smiled at the two women.

*

“you want to take us on a family vacation huh Arya" Anjani cursed at Arya who walked beside Mila, while she walked on the other side of Mila.

Arya glanced angrily at Anjani, the woman's sentence felt made her a little uncomfortable “if you're sad again, you need to find something else to cover it up, you need to cover it up, sometimes it can make us stronger to deal with the situation" Arya replied.

“means it does not take away my sadness kan” muttered Anjani.

“who can take away your sadness only yourself, not us, I invite you here to change your mood to forget your sadness” said Arya who grasped Mila's hand.

“It looks like a lot of people are looking at us, you are like a polygamous man, and we are your wives, we are a happy family” always Anjani who makes Mila spontaneously pinch her stomach.

“duh,,duhhh, pain know Mil”

“kamu anyway, talk like that, you think Arya want to be the same you” said Mila with annoyance.

Anjani just smiled to hear it, making Mila jealous like that a little make her smile, “naik it yuk” pointed Anjani at the paddle duck in one of the small lakes there.

“that can go up only two” said Mila flatly.

“ya already, if that is you friendin Anjani Mil” said Arya who saw the face of Anjani quite interested in riding the toy.

“I'm afraid to ride it Arya” said Mila with a little frown, her cheeks rounded behind her veil for not liking the game of choice Anjani.

“when I'm with Anjani Mil, we're here to cheer him up”

“ya already, if so I ride it the same you are Arya” said Anjani again, the behavior of Mila who looks like a jealous teenager makes it a little nosy to Mila, at least it could replace the sadness in his heart.

“Anjani” muttered Mila with annoyance.

He also feels the sadness of Anjani, his little friend, but he also can not do much, their problems are too complicated to be solved in a hurry.

‘maybe if everything goes smoothly according to the plan om Haris, you can be free from their inner Anjani’ Arya.

The morning before noon they spent time in the ecopark north of Jakarta, Arya looked at Mila and Anjani from the edge of the small lake, Anjani looked a little calmer than his condition this morning in the room Arya, Anjani, I don't know what the 2 women were talking about, he could only see it from afar while enjoying the cooler air there.

Anjani and Mila are still enjoying their duck game in the lake, the atmosphere feels simple, but enough to make her heart let go of her sadness.

“sorry yes Anjani, I and Arya could not come yesterday night” muttered Mila while pedaling her duck.

Anjani takes a rough breath, he actually wants Arya and Mila to be there, with their presence, Anjani will feel much stronger. But after all, he also could not force Arya and Anjani.

"no Mil, I was too much until like that, I was really devastated from last night Mil, when I went to your apartment, I felt calmer and stronger for the engagement, but when I didn't see you yesterday, I was really disappointed Mil, my strength was gone" Anjani explained.

"sorry Anjani," muttered Mila with her guilt.

“what's the reason Mil?, why don't you guys come? just tell me, I won't get angry, and if it's a secret, I'll keep it for you guys”

Mila thought for a moment, there was no way he would tell Indra's problem to Anjani, the only reason he could give was Arnes' problem. And he himself did not want to lie to Anjani either.

“the man was my ex Anjani” said Mila flatly, Anjani's eyes immediately glared in disbelief, he saw in the bead of his best friend's veiled eyes. “Arnes your ex?, a veiled woman like you ever dated?, same boy like that again”

Mila took off her rough breath instantly, not even Anjani believed her past.

“you know that I and Arya were arranged, Arya did not want me to meet with bang Arnes,” Mila replied slowly.

“what is Arya jealous of too?” ask Anjani slowly.

‘if you knew what Arya was like last night, and also all my mistakes back then, you would definitely think of snatching her away from me, I really feel inappropriate for a person who keeps the purity of heart and self like she’ the inner Mila.

“because he loves me, so he became jealous, I hope you can forgive us”

Anjani then looked towards Arya who looked from a distance, the man was standing closed his eyes on the lake while enjoying the cool air ecopark.

“not that the ex will be happy to come to his ex's event by bringing their partner, yes to show that they are happier with their choice, he said, although sometimes actually they are not happy” said Anjani flatly.

“the situation is different Anjani,” said Mila who momentarily stopped, ‘what I have to say if bang Arnes still wants me, it will definitely hurt for her inner Anjani’.

“different?”

“iya, different”

“different why?” ask Anjani who is getting curious.

“maybe because we used to be betrothed, so Arya is more possessive, therefore she does not want to come yesterday” explained Mila.

Anjani again saw Arya who was sitting on the edge of the lake while soaking her feet with the lake water.

"possessive to his side, until I, his own friend who is fiancee, he did not come” muttered Anjani.

Mila takes a rough breath, she is confused how to convince Anjani for that reason. So that Anjani does not know Indra's problem and his problem with Arnes actually.

“as bad as what man is Mil?” ask Anjani who makes Mila confused.

“you mean?”

“I know what kind of man he is, such perverted eyes look I've seen often in America”

Mila for a moment thought, ‘mesum?, is he bang perverted Arnes?’ Mila for a moment thought about what had happened between them, then she shook her head. ‘no, I want to remember anything about her’ Mila's inner being that immediately threw away the thought of Arnes.

“I don't remember, I've forgotten all that” Mila replied.

Anjani smiled faintly at Mila's words. “pastilah, you already have Arya, you will definitely forget about the man, but he used to not be so with you right?”

“no, Arya has taken my virgin, so don't think about taking her, or I will kill you” Mila said resentfully to Anjani.

Anjani smiled with relief at Mila's answer “thank God, a man like Arnes must be very good at seducing women, you must be grateful to be able to survive it" said Anjani who momentarily stopped.

"and also, I have repeatedly told you, I will not take the husband of the people” continued Anjani with annoyance.

Mila glances at Anjani's eyes with a smile behind her veil, she feels it doesn't really matter if she's also that possessive of Arya's.

“pray me also Mil, in order to be safe from her before the wedding” Anjani muttered wistfully.

‘why did Anjani who just knew bang Arnes think that bang Arnes was that bad?, what was his kindness to me all this time just persuaded his appeal, O God, if he was that bad, if he was, I'm really grateful for my fateful path to be with Arya like now.’
