No words can represent the whole feeling. Mentally destroyed. Self-esteem trampled. Under normal circumstances, I might not be able to get up again. But his insulting words to Father and Mother gave me the strength to resist. If he hadn't brought the parents, I would have left just as he told me to. But not this time. Insult me as I please, I will accept it. But do not involve your parents. Anyone I'll fight!
With a palm, I wiped the tears of weakness that had already flowed. I took a deep breath and looked at the woman sitting in the gurney. Our eyes meet. The pretty woman's eyes seemed to be burning with anger while her chest moved up and down. Emotions rule.
"Sir Nadia, I'm sorry if it has caused a misunderstanding" I said. Pause for a moment to see his expression. Nadia looked with a look of disdain stating that she did not believe my words.
Surprisingly I don't feel nervous. My voice sounded clear, calm and firm. I also continued.
"My husband and I have nothing to do. Honestly, I offended my parents. My mother and father educated me well. When things go wrong and it's my fault, not my parents" I said with great emphasis.
"Mbak told me to go and get away from your husband? Please send my message to your husband. Maybe if Mbak himself who conveys, will be more heard. Please her husband be guarded and reminded not to disturb his employees. Or do I need to call him to solve this problem? To be relieved?" The eyes were wide with lips slightly open. The look on his face showed shock as well as fear 'does it?
Before I could read her face deeper, the woman turned her face away. Either to hide all the feelings or get too sick of seeing me?
"I'm not going anywhere, because I don't feel wrong. If you and your husband are sick of seeing me, please both of you leave. Maybe that's all I can say. If Mbak still does not accept my words, Mbak can look for me and confront him directly. May it heal soon. Excuse me."
I turned and stepped out. Rotate the knob, open and close it quickly. At the door, I came face to face with Saka. Apparently the man had been waiting for me since. He must have heard all those conversations.
Seeing Saka make the tears that had receded back up. My legs were stepping firmly as if they were losing strength. I'm limp and limp. Saka quickly grabbed my body and supported it.
"Take me out of here" I whispered in a trembling voice. Without many words, Saka grabbed me and took me somewhere.
***
Saka pushed me into the car, then he drove without saying a word. My body is trembling and limp. The tough-ass attitude I was trying to show in front of Nadya was no more. All it looks like is Arsha the weak!
All the flashes of events revolved around his head. What I remember most are the painful words that came out of Nadya's mouth. Again I can only be confused.
I did not realize that the car had been parked on one of the roads opposite it was a sea view that could only be heard roaring waves.
A gentle touch I felt on my head. To caress, to comfort. I know it's Saka. Getting such treatment, instead of making my crying stop even more so.
"W-what do you think a-I'm a-a despicable woman? M-cheap? T-don't know yourself?" Both hands encapsulated the face, forcing me to look at the owner.
"Look at me. Listen to me, okay." Saka looked me in the eye. Wiping away the tears flowing down the cheeks.
"Forget his words. Everything he said was not true. I know what you look like. He has no right to judge you like that. Forget, okay?!"
"A-I don't intend to take her husband .... B-not a-I hugged .... Y-that you guys saw was just a misunderstanding. I really had no intention of taking it .... I've been trying to stay away .... B-but he always comes closer. I-I have to how Ka? Y-you believe me, don't you?"
"Yes Nay. I trust you very much. Don't cry anymore. You're ugly, if you cry worse." Again Saka wiped the tears that never stopped.
Why does Saka always see me in such an embarrassing state? I've never cried this much in front of anyone else. Only he knows how weak I am.

Saka let me cry. A few hours later, the crying and sobbing began to stop.
"You out?" tanyakanya.
"Huh?"
"Who knows if your face has the wind, it can clear your mind a little." Saka head nodded towards the blackened sea. "Yuk." He got out and circled the car. Open the door and let me out. Although reluctant, I stuck my foot out and immediately treaded on the sand.
The night wind hit the cheek. Flying kids hair, making it disheveled. Saka was standing right in front of me. He took out a pinch of mischievous hair and linked it behind the ears. Then, both of his hands were on my shoulders. The difference in our height, made him bend down slightly to look at my eyes.
"Have you made a decision?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"Let's go home."
"That's the decision?"
"Yes." Yeah."

At 01.13 WITA, Saka took me out of the Pullman hotel and left for Java. My roommate didn't return to the hotel, so I didn't have to make excuses for leaving.
I contacted Mr. Marga through chat. Tell me about the departure and the reason. Thank goodness Mr. Marga did not immediately reply. Maybe he is sleeping and will reply the next day.
We departed from the city of Denpasar, down the road hundreds of kilos. Along the way, there was only music. No one's talking. I knew Saka was waiting for me to speak.
"I decided to keep working there" I said breaking the silence. Saka did not answer. His eyes remained straight ahead. I know he disagrees with my decision.
"If I resign, it will show that what he says is true. I'll prove that all the charges are untrue." A few moments quiet. Saka took my hand. Squeezing slowly. Then he stroked my head slowly. Her lips smiled soothingly.
"I believe you, Nay. Whatever decision you make, you must have thought carefully."
"Thank you, Ka." I exhaled a sigh of relief. Too busy thinking about things, making me forget one thing that is quite awkward and a big question mark.
"Why did you come along with him?"
"Him?" Saka frowned. "Oh, Nadya?"
"Hem."
"Not intentionally. I'm waiting for you in the lobby, and he's passing by with a suitcase. I'll call you."
"Why did I not see you guys just now?"
"We get info if your group is out again, so we have to wait at the hotel restaurant. When you know your group has come, we immediately samperin ...."
"Look at that scene."
"Yep." Saka nodded his head. His thumbbook was clenched behind the wheel. "You know what, Nay?"
"What?"
"I want to smash that man's head against the wall." I know Saka is serious about what he says. I gulped with difficulty and tried to divert the conversation.
"Why don't you talk about coming here? Said you couldn't take an impromptu leave?"
"Make surprise. It turns out that it's ...." It turned out that he was the one who got the surprise.
It's not an easy decision either. I've thought about it carefully. I am serious about my words and have no intention of playing games or acting.
I took a deep breath. Staring at Saka fixedly and said, "Saka, would you like to try to date me seriously?"
