Want to Get Married Directly

The same night Aska had a small party. A woman was ready with the polite dress she was wearing. He improved his appearance in front of the mirror to make it look perfect. A knock on the door rang out, making her immediately grab the bag that was on the dressing table. A smile from a handsome man greeted him.

"Is he ready?" A small nod that becomes the answer.

The man's hand stretched out, but the woman hesitated a little to welcome him. Just looking at him with flat eyes.

"I'll keep forcing." Arka pulled Riana's hand and grasped it very tightly.

Riana could only follow him. She wants to help Arka to go to her best friend's wedding. Where his ex is there. Pretending to be Arka's lover tonight. In return when Arka helped him when he met Aksa.

Riana and Arka's relationship can be said to have become close enough friends. Even the mother guessed that they were both dating. Every day Arka comes to pick up Riana to take her to campus or pick her up.

In a luxury hotel the wedding was held. Arka held Riana's hand with a smile that kept curling on her face. Introducing to her friends that Riana is her lover.

"It's so pretty, Ka. More beautiful than Alya," added Panji.

Arka and Riana just smiled. Arka's hand had already begun to embrace Riana.

"It's not the beauty I prefer. The heart of this woman that makes me feel tired" continued Arka.

Panji laughed at Arka's words. Moreover, looking at the face of Arka who continued to develop a smile. She believes that Arka has indeed moved on from her former lover.

The name that Panji had mentioned came. Alya looked at the woman who was beside Arka with a sharp look. While Arka had started to clutch at Riana's waist.

"Why do you see my girlfriend like that?" ask Arka.

"No. When did you get married?"

Riana's eyes widened, but it was different from Arka's. "Quickly." The answer that made Riana stare intently at Arka. A soothing smile that Arka gave.

Arka just smiled faintly looking at the face of this ex-lover. Died when unfortunately because of a job Arka who is just a cafe singer. Different castes, that's the main reason. Without Alya knowing Arka is the sole successor to the business that Fikri manages. However, Arka never showed wealth to the woman he was in a relationship with. Arka wanted, the woman accepted it as it was. There's nothing.

After showing off Riana to her friends and ex. Arka takes Riana to a private restaurant.

"Well, how come you come here? Arka did not answer. He continued to take Riana to the place he had already reserved.

Romantic dinner that Arka has prepared. Beautiful candles that illuminate the room. The flowers scattered make Riana increasingly do not understand what the purpose of Arka.

There are only two chairs at the table. The chair forced him to face off against Arka who was already staring at him with a different gaze.

"Riana." Riana's eyes did not escape looking at Arka with a face full of confusion.

"I want us to ta'arufan."

What a sentence that made Riana widen her eyes. I can't believe what he heard.

"I'm not looking for a girlfriend, but I'm looking for a life partner."

Riana froze, not a word was spoken from her lips. Why is it so easy for a man to say such a sentence? That's how Riana thought.

"Allow me to take the place of your ex who is still attached to your heart. I want to be like him that you remember in every moment."

"Are all men like this? Easily make a promise that they will eventually break?" cynical Riana.

Arka smiled warmly and grabbed Riana's hand that was on the table.

"I'm sure I want to know a lot about you. I want to be a solace for you. Become a healer for your injuries as well as a man who will continue to be beside you. Although, I haven't been completely in your heart that I won't bother."

"Forgetting is not as easy as we imagine. It takes time and a long process. I want to be in that process. The process by which you learn to forget because there is already me present in your life."

Riana could not say anything. He was astonished to hear the speech of Arka who was very confident and not playful. For some women it will be easy to accept Arka. What about Riana?

Looking at Riana who was still speechless with an unpredictable look in her eyes. Arka let go of her hand and got up from her seat. Convening before Riana with a smile that never faded.

Arka cupped Riana's face, she stared at the beautiful eye bead.

"I will never force you to answer now. I just want you to know that I want to have a serious relationship with you. Without going out and straight to the wedding."

"I will wait for you, until you accept this ta'arufan." Aska rubbed gently on Riana's cheek.

As of this morning, the sentence after sentence that Arka had spoken to him was still stuck in his head. The successful arc makes Riana unable to sleep. Riana still felt at home on the bed reluctant to move goods for a second.

"Ta'aruf?" Only a breath came out of Riana's mouth.

"Married without love, what can?" Little heart Riana said.

"Why are you ...."

Ziva saw the person who was massaging his nape was Rakha. New driver from Aksa.

"Are you pregnant with your husband's child or mine?" rakha asked with a serious look.

"Only a fool would ask that question" Ziva said with emphasis. Now Ziva had dared to look at Rakha.

"I still love you, Ziva."

The words that sounded were very soft and came out from his deepest heart.

"Why do you have to leave me after such a fun night for us? Although, you're not sealed neatly."

Ziva's eyes widened to hear Rakha's words. One disgrace is revealed through Rakha. Fortunately, there was no one there.

"So your mouth, I'll ask my husband to fire you today" he said.

"Will your husband obey your words? While through my vision, your husband hates you a lot, "Rakha replied.

Rakha grabbed Ziva's hand. Staring at Ziva with clinging.

"I still love you so much, Ziva. I will take responsibility with the child who is in your womb. Although, it's not my son."

"What are you guys doing here?" Aksa stared at Rakha's hand which was being linked to Ziva's.
