Chapter 14: Confession

“ Brother don't want to eat?”

Wine asked because Arka had only been looking at him who was eating pieces of meat. Not asking any questions, just keep quiet and look at her as if she is afraid that she will disappear at any time.

“ Brother not a laper. You just eat. Enjoy everything you want to eat”

“ Enjoy how if diliatin mulu” dumel Wine which is clearly heard by Arka because he deliberately said it with a loud voice. But instead of letting him eat quietly, Arka still looked at him to make Wine choose to put a knife and fork in his hand.

“ Why not eat?”

“ Wine love brother 3 chance to ask. So ask everything now!”

Arka smiled. The first smile Wine saw today.

“ You don't want to ask anything. So you just eat”

“ Don't mengeliatin Wine then”

After getting a nod from Arka, Wine began to eat this first meal.The quarrel with the baba hospital with a clear topic is only about why Wine did it slightly evaporate when together with Arka. The man who claimed not to be hungry now even looks focused and very greedy to eat everything that has been ordered.

“ Brother hasn't eaten too today huh?”

Wine saw Arka nodding her head.

“ Brother can't eat today”

“Why? Lots of work, huh?”

“ Many. And also think of you all day until you forget to eat”

Wine throws his mouth in disbelief. Want every man, all are equally very clever to make women fall in love.

“ Bang”

“Hmm?”

Wine gave a smile as Arka, who was usually reluctant to look back at him, was now looking at him with just one call. Usually even though Wine kept asking Arka just answered him soberly without looking at him at all.

“ Brother seriously do not want to ask anything with Wine?”

“You mean it's about an accident?”

Wine did not shake nor did it nod. His eyes looked at the iris of Arka's eyes which somehow tonight looks calmer than usual. The man looked back at him with a smile that could really make any woman fall for this man.

“ If you want to ask that Wine is ready to answer”

Arka put down her knife and fork. Supported his chin with both hands then nodded his head.

“ What do you think made me do that?”

The position of Arka. Wine also supports his chin with both hands “ Brother says baba likes the same people who have plans right? I know it too. Therefore Wine's plan is lost from the face of this earth.yes, at least it can make baba feel sorry for the rest of her life”.

There is no objection like people usually when Wine said about the purpose of his life. Arka looked at him calmly, as calm as the lake water that was untouched by the hands of human mischievous.

“ When you're at the racecourse and one second before you crash the car. Whose face first crossed?” ask again.

“Abang” Wine answered him honestly.

Even just before the match, Wine also remembered all his memories with Arka.

“ If you think of brother, why did you even go with the man earlier in the hospital?”

Wine knew who the man Arka meant. Therefore it is not Wine if you answer it directly without being annoying first.

“ He is more handsome and younger than brother. That's cool, if you get out of the hospital with a clear and handsome”

Arka did not answer anything, her gaze was still as calm as before to make Wine a little wary now. What's wrong with this guy now?.

“ Wine joking bang. Just the most handsome brother. There is no other”

Nothing changed, Arka just smiled then nodded. His expression was still as calm.

“ May brother ask you to promise one thing to brother?”

Wine nodded. In ‘iyain’ only so that the atmosphere is not awkward like this. Wine can long sit dead if it continues to be viewed with a calm gaze Arka.

“ Don't do such a stupid thing again. The racecourse is not your place, especially until you smoke. If anything happens, come to a brother.”

“Cuman to brother? Can't go to another?”

“ Yes! only to abang”

One more thing Wine knows. Arka is a person who is very protective of anyone who the man likes. And this time Wine became one of its members.

“ Bang”

“Hmm?"

Arka shook her head, took the knife and fork back and began to continue the meal that had stopped earlier.

“ Ever”

Wine also resumed his dinner. Chatting over dinner with Arka is what will be his hobby starting tonight.

“ When?” Ask Wine again.

“ Now”

“Means?”

“ Now brother is dating. Same with you, right?”

Wine choked instantly, quickly picked up a drink and gulped it down to nothing left. What kind of words did he just hear?. Wine shook his head as Arka laughed at the choking self.

“ Joking brother amazing”

“Who is joking?. With you who suddenly come to the squadron when it has gone the same handsome and clear guy. That means you agree with the previous brother's invitation right?”

Wine shook his head firmly. For the matter of yesterday's invitation, Wine would absolutely reject it. For now, the relationship between them was enough. Not more than now.

“Big no to be the wife of air force”

“ Why is that?”

“ Don't want to. Anyway Wine back to meet the brother just because Wine wants a bandingin, more fun to chat with brother what the same mas Akhtar”

Arka sipped her sweet iced tea once “ Ah.. So his name is Akhtar, the result is more convenient where?”

“Abang” Wine answered him firmly. Making the man sitting in front of him blush in embarrassment for the first time.

***

After the free dinner. Wine clearly refused to be driven home by Arka. He did not want to go home, did not want to meet his baby for the next few days. And so here they are. Arka's car is parked in the yard of the mother's house which incidentally is the home of Alin's own men.

Arka refused to go out, only intending to deliver Wine just until the fall but ended until his car entered the yard of this 2-story house.would not want to be welcomed by the host, he said, Arka got out of the car and helped Wine walk up to the woman who was standing with her face complete with a broom in hand.

Just as she was helping Wine out of the car, the woman who was grilling the broom threw her broom away in no direction and hugged Wine tightly. Not only the woman Wine calls mother, but the man Wine calls father also hugs the girl tightly.

“ Yes Allah my son”

Arka now knows the reason why Wine prefers between going to this house rather than to his own home. This house is warm, the love obtained in this place is much greater than in his own home.

“ Yes Allah son, really sick surely his feet yes?”

No one immediately railed against Wine about the reason why the incident last night happened in this house.everyone asked about the situation of this girl now, helped her walk in and then sat together in the living room.

There Arka also saw Alin— his men who now look at him with a curious view. As if asking ‘what did you do with my sister?’ only with his eyes.

“ This who is Win?”

Arka turned her head as the question was shown to Wine from Alin's mother. An awkward smile then shook the hands of these two hosts.

“ It's called Arka ma'am. Baba's representative, topped by Alin”

“ Night om, aunt” Continue Arka. I don't know why he now seems to be meeting with the parents of his girlfriend. Shaking because deg degan was at once afraid because Alin's eyes were now looking at him ignorantly.

“ Nights by Arka. Thank you for anterin Wine to here”

“ Thanks also mom. Because he who slipped his baby son bontotnya mother also” said Alin.

Arka was stunned as her hand was suddenly grasped by the mother. The woman continued to say endless thanks that made Arka feel bad herself. He himself did nothing. That word of thanks should not be shown to him.

“ Thanks yes son. Because at least Wine can still survive because it remains seatbelt.” This time the man called father by Wine and Alin were talking.

Feeling nothing to save Wine, Arka's eyes immediately turned to Wine who was now cool to sit while eating cassava chips.

“ Kan Wine have said earlier bang. Wine thinks brother fit in the racecourse. So if I die, Wine thinks at least Wine's face should still look pretty when you look up. Uh, even alive”

“Wine!”

“Wine!”

“Wine!”

Alin, Mom and Dad said it together. Arka could even only parroted hearing the word mourning that was so easy to say just now.

Wine is still Wine. There is always something wrong with his mind.
