"No, it's not that." Dara turned her body. The two exchanged looks. A look that fulfills its own meaning for its owner.
Dara raised Arkan's hand and kissed it with reverence.
"I want to live better, Kan. I dream of living with someone who sincerely loves me with tenderness, not torture and violence."
Dara's words were so deep and pierced Arkan's chest. A long life had destroyed the girl. He was like trash in the eyes of his family.
Dara longs for inner calm, staying away from her cruel family is the best option.
"I get that tenderness in you. I thought you were the best man God had sent to end my suffering" Dara added.
Arkan was touched, The girl said the right thing. The story is also very complicated. Abandoned by Mother and only in the care of a father makes Him grow strong and not crybaby.
Even though the Father is gone, He still struggles to live a normal life alone. Working in a non-existent place doesn't make him feel contemptible.
From there he learned that the world is hard. His feet were no longer weak and he was no longer afraid of the cruelty of the world.
"Thank you for accepting me for who I am. I will try to make you as happy as I can, Dara. But one thing that matters is your support for me" Arkan said.
Arkan kissed Dara's face, a face filled with tears. Arkan sprinkled all his love on the girl's body.
That night for the umpteenth time they spent together in bed.
Early in the morning, Mang Tomang knocked on their rented door. The goal is to get to work.
Geck! Geck! Geck!
"June, Juni. Are you awake?" mang Tomang shouted quite loudly.
Arkan just opened his eyes, as fast as lightning he put on a shirt and approached the door leaf.
"Sorry, Mang. What's up, huh?" ask Arkan.
"This Mamang want to narik, if you need something just ask Bi Lisa Amang's wife," said Mang Tomang.
"Oh, okay Mang. Careful yeah!"
"Yes, Mang. Thanks..."
"Sama-sama, yes, Mamang left first."
"Wait, Mang. There is no market here? we're looking for a change of clothes?"
"Oh, ada. Use the Amang motor. Not far from here at least seven kilos," replied Mang Tomang did not hesitate to help..
"Good, Mang. So troublesome."
"Look down, atuh. Consider it your own brother."
It was a fortune for Arkan and Dara to get to know Mang Tomang at that place. His people are so hamburgers and and scholars.
After cleaning both of them, go to the market and buy a few pieces of clothing.
"I'm sorry, Dar. I can only buy clothes from cheap materials" Arkan said.
"What a hell, Kan. Just relax. It's more than enough, don't we have to cash in here."
Arkan was lucky that Dara understood that to him.
"I'll find a job later."
Dara frowned, He was not sure Arkan got a job in the foreign place. Who would be glad to help him give work.
"I'll pray for you, Kan" Dara said. That was all he could tell the young man. Because support and prayer are the most important.
Arkan and Dara also bought kitchen necessities, From today they will cook for themselves.
"Well that's a jengkol, we buy ya!" tukas Dara pointed at the seller.
Arkan knitted his brows.
"Do you like that food?"
