Chapter 26: Anggi

“ Arka!!!!!”

Like there was a fire Alan shouted so loud that it made Arka who had just closed his eyes sat down instantly.

Angrily Arka threw a pillow at Alan that was right on the man's face.

“Gue accepted Ka. Ah…. My application was accepted Ka” shouted again.

Last week Alan did tell if the man had just invited his girlfriend to get married. His girlfriend asked for 1 week to think about it and it ended with Alan's application.

Joined happily, Arka welcomed Alan who immediately ran to embrace him. Alan's relationship ended happily, while his relationship ended up aground in the city of Jogjakarta.

“Keep when you want to take your parents to Dian's house?”

“Quickly” replied Alan happily “Gue want to ngabarin my parents first”

“Udah night. Remember what time it is” Ban Arka.

The clock is almost showing at 23:30, it's enough night to tell it. If only he did not prohibit, Alan would have contacted both parents.

“ Lo same Wine how? Dare to marry the commander's son not lo?”

Arka did not answer, lay down her body in bed and closed her eyes tightly. Regarding her relationship with Wine that ended, Arka did not tell anyone. Arka was sure Wine would come back to her. It is sad, but Arka will try to convince the girl to come back to him.

For the time being?

Maybe not. Arka knows Wine is preparing for an entrance exam to the University with a medical major. Arka just wants to give a moment of space so that the girl can focus on her ideals. There's no self then no one's hurting the girl.

“Gue denger lo invited back by former lo ya Ar?”

“Gossip can from where else lo?”

Alan took a sitting position in his bed “ Not gossip times. Lo makes it noticeable. You met me last month at the cafe, right? Continues these few weeks also often the girl comes to the cafe to find you. Said his name was Anggi huh?”

Arka kicked Alan to get out of bed. “Whispering I want to sleep”

***

1 month ago.

Arka stared at the screen of her phone without saying anything. Today he was supposed to bring Wine to be introduced to his family, but in fact everything became a mess just because of a message that Wine sent last night.

Wines:

Hi bang. How's things?. Sorry Wine was back first ushered in the pade this morning. Sorry bang Wine can't make a promise. Sorry for everything too. Thank you also to all who made wine so far, maybe it is better to end up like this. Wine may not be the best for you. Hopefully you can meet someone much better than Wine.

Arka throws her phone to the wall, causing a very loud sound.

Below is her sister-in-law's 7th monthly event. Arka doesn't have to worry if anyone hears it later.

Arka stared at the cracked screen of her phone still showing a series of messages from Wine it. If only she read it last night, then Arka could hold Wine not to go from her.

With clenched hands, Arka as well as possible relieve his emotions and regulate his breathing. If there were no family event Arka might immediately run after Wine, ask for an explanation from the girl, or even Arka also prepared to kneel in front of Wine.

Everything in his mind seemed to fall apart instantly. Arka even had to sit on a chair to eliminate the feeling of dizziness in the head that suddenly hit him. His body was limp with tears that began to slide slowly.

Arcs that usually look full of charisma and prestige as if uprooted just because of one message from Wine. The regret of their talk last week came to the surface one by one.

Why instead of asking the reason, he was immediately angry?.

The ever-cold-headed arc made his life shatter instantly just because of the emotions for the thing that should be talked about further.

Tok to tok.

“Bang's inside? Get out briefly”

Mother's voice from the outside made Arka wipe her tears quickly. Arka took a deep breath before finally opening the door and displaying a beautiful looking mother figure using a kebaya.

“Udah finished bu show?” Arka asked while closing the door of her room quickly.

Avoid if there is a possibility that the mother can see the condition of her room now.

What has happened this second then let it first, Arka needs to think about it well.not here, in her mother's house. Arka will think about it after returning to Skdaron.

“Udah from earlier”

Arka nodded. Holding his mother and then down one by one stairs. True, the condition of the middle room that was previously crowded by the neighbors is now only troublesome for some relatives who talk to each other.

Arka's steps stopped instantly, her forehead wrinkled and her eyes looked at the confused mother. Anggi is his ex, the woman who had made Wine wrongly thought to him.

“Ngapain bu?” Arka restrained her mother before crossing the boundary between the living room and the living room.

“Ngga knows, he said his father wants to talk to you. Yes, mom's job is just to call you doang. Come out”

Hearing himself in Jogja, maybe both Anggi parents who have long known want to greet him. But shouldn't it be the opposite? Arka who must visit Anggi's house to say hello, not the other way around.

“MasyaAllah, how are you doing Arka”

“Alhamdulillah good bu” Arka greet to two parents Wine, then choose to sit next to father.

There, Anggi, the woman smiled kindly to Arka who made Arka inevitably attract her smile. At the sight of that face, Arka knew there was a hint of awkwardness from Anggi's expression now. But somehow, Arka is not a shaman or fortune teller who can immediately know what is behind the smile.

“Mother and father how are you?” ask Arka back. The actual pleasantries, because in fact he thought this time back to chaos when remembering the message of Wine earlier.

“Alhamdulillah father good news.mother also thank God good”

Arka smiled back. From the direction where she sat, Arka could see Anggi's mother poking her husband several times as if telling her to quickly convey their purpose of coming to this place before.

“So gini son. Before you ask, son Arka already have a girlfriend?”

The question that Arka never thought of would be asked by anyone other than her family sounded like a stone that further suppressed the emotions in her body. Arka's gaze was now fixed towards Anggi who was now bowing his head deeply while squeezing both nervous hands.

As Arka recalls, he had explained at length about the condition of their relationship that would not be possible to return to normal in the cafe at that time. Arka even mentioned the name Wine in front of the woman.

“Previously sorry mom, pak” as well as Arka held back so that his voice did not rise in front of both Anggi parents and both parents “ I already have a boyfriend bu” sir

Not only were Anggi's parents shocked, his parents were also shocked to hear him.

Initially Arka did want to introduce Wine to both parents at the ceremony tonight, but in fact the relationship ended even before the event began.

“Pacar?” Anggi who had just looked down and was silent, finally spoke up.

“Open your relationship with the SMA girl has run aground mas?” continued again.

Arka clenched her stairs tightly.

“Your girlfriend is a high school boy bang?” the mother sitting next to him asked.

As his eyes looked at the eyes of the mother who seemed to ask for an explanation, Arka's gaze that was previously sharp because it was directed at Anggi softened instantly. Arka nodded her head while smiling.

On the other hand, Anggi's mother is now laughing trying to melt the atmosphere because of the words of her son just now. “Oh nak Arka already have a girlfriend huh? thank you then. Actually father same mother would ask please know Anggi same temen you, let cepet have a boyfriend”

Lies. Anyone who is in the guest room now clearly knows the words of Anggi's mother just to cover up the shame. While Mr. Anggi now sip his coffee with awkward movements.

“You broke up, didn't you?! You guys.”

“Anggi” cut mother Anggi fast.

“Sorry buk sir, I'm sorry first. And Anggi can we talk in front for a minute?”

Without waiting for the approval of Anggi, Arka stood up and immediately walked out towards the courtyard. Anggi tailed behind him.

“It looks like I've obviously been all the same you in the cafe at that time” Arka turned her body facing towards Anggi after feeling quite far from the living room.

With watery eyes, Anggi grabbed Arka's one-handed hand and held it tightly “ But you've broken up, haven't you? I love you mas”

Arka freed her hand forcibly “ But mas don't have the same feeling”

“I don't care. As long as you want to marry me, I can sure make you fall in love with me again”

Arka closed her eyes. If he continues to discuss this, Arka believes his emotions as good as possible he can withstand will explode instantly. Without intending to answer back, Arka walked away from Anggi who began to cry.However, just a few steps, his legs stopped when Anggi said the thing that had made a big awkwardness in the head of Arka.

“You broke up with him mas.”

Arka turned her body back to face Anggi “With you know that she broke up a few hours ago and then through a message. You should be aware of how many things you should introspect on yourself”

Anggi rubbed his tears “ I don't care mas. I can wait for the same boy bored mas.I will make mas back again the same I”

Feeling that this conversation will only make the head break. Arka actually left Anggi and went inside. Just give a moment's greeting to both Anggi's parents in the living room, then go back into his room.
