The Cruel Fate
Part 38.1
“Aarrgghhh! Why should a cockroach?” pekik Arrio was upset.
“If you mind, you can stop now.” Arra appears behind Arrio cleaning the bookshelf in his shop's attic. The man hated cockroaches or any kind of insect. And cleaning up the place meant giving her a greater chance of encountering such creatures.
Justright. Just a few minutes Arrio was there, he was already greeted by dozens of cockroaches who were ready to pounce alive. The man even had time to think if there was a cockroach farm in this place. After all, why did Arra ask her to do such dirty work without even allowing her to use magical powers as an angel.
Good Lord! If he had not loved the girl more than his life, Arra might have ended up being a roast because of the fire power that Arrio had.
“Darling, I don't mind. But this cockroach—”
“You're afraid of cockroaches? That right?” Arra's eyes rounded and the corners of his lips rose to hold back a laugh.
“No! Who said I was afraid? I'm just—uhm... ticklish! Yes, I'm just amused at them!”
“Geli and fear it thin different, Darling.” said Arra.
“Ya, whatever. I'll clean this up first. Promise, after this, don't silence me anymore. You know not, how do I miss you?” arrio protest.
Arra tilted his head, “You know not, anyway, how do I wait a little news from you all this time?” He turned Arrio's words.
Arrio himself could only remain silent without speaking again. He was certain that he would never win against Arra.

Arrio just finished cleaning everything up and taking a break. He took Arra's orange juice and drank it in one gulp. Cleaning up all of that on his own and without using his magical power was indeed the right way to punish for what he did to Arra.
The girl herself seemed so satisfied because she had succeeded in pranking her lover. To avenge him all this time. But, looking at the exhausted Arrio with a sweat that soaked almost all over his body, made Arra also feel sorry for the man. With his breath still on and his right hand
several times rubbing a wet towel on her own forehead to wipe off the sweat, finally making Arra melt and finally get close to Arrio.
“Capek yes?” ask the girl.
“Capek, but happy..” replied Arrio.
“Happy why?” ask Arra again.
“Because I'm here with you. No matter how tired I am here, it's just an instant I feel. Because as soon as I see this face of yours..” Arrio immediately turned his head and touched Arra's face while smiling, “all my fatigue immediately vanished in the wind.” he continued.
“Cih! You are a great woo ya!” said Arra with a flushed face.
The girl's smile should not immediately expand perfectly when she heard her lover's words.
His cheeks meet red and make Arrio very anxious to bite both cheeks bloated his lover.
“Enak. It's smart that my wife makes orange juice. Sweet.... similar to your smile again..”, Arrio launched his appeal for Arra.
“Have you been like this for a long time, or have I ever felt like you've changed so much since we last met two years ago? Or have you often told this to other angels there, and now apply it to me?” asked Arra probing while looking intently at his lover's eyes.
“Jeez... You still don't believe me, baby? I've said it repeatedly no, I've never been interested in any angel at all. Just look no! I just love you, look at you, admire you, and want you. That's it baby.. trust me,” Arrio said again.
Arra now smiles and caresses Arrio's face, “ I believe really. Just make sure.”
The girl's answer inevitably makes Arrio confused, especially those who want to be sure of his lover? Does he need to open his own chest and give up his heart to prove how great Arrio is to Arra?
“Rio... I can ask you something?” chirps Arra arrives – arrives.
Arrio immediately turned his head and looked at his lover with a questioning look. His feelings were suddenly uncomfortable, like there would be a deadly sentence that his lover said to him now.
“Just ask...” replied Arrio.
“This... about yourself. I heard it back there, but I never had a chance to ask you directly because of the circumstances. So... if you don't mind..” Arra hangs his words.
“Tell me baby, what do you want to know from me?” arrio asked as if he could read the girl's mind.
“Illona..”.
Pyassi! Arrio's heart felt almost out of place, his breath immediately choked and his chest felt so tight as Arra escaped the name from his lips. Arrio's face immediately paled and his lips were twisted.
“Your ex-lover, he... human right? I heard it from Jason and Aksel, that you love him so much and are so crazy – crazy about him, that you oppose your own family and friends – friends. She... what is it like?” asked Arra innocently.
“What do you mean, what?” ask Arrio back.
“Hmm... how do I explain it. I want to know how she and your relationship are. As you know about Andrew also our relationship first.” said Arra.
Arrio seemed to be breathing heavily and long. Eyes closed. Illona is the worst and most painful memory for her besides the assault of Darrick and the removal of him from the upper world.
He felt like he was the dirtiest angel that exceeded the devil when he was with the girl. The girl who turns out to be the device August uses to trap him finds Arra, the healer. The girl who died – death he defended, but instead stabbed and hurt him so dala. And also the same girl, who wants to
destroy Arra and kill the entire family of Arra, the girl he loves the most.
“I'll explain everything, tell you. Without any more secrets.”
