Arga and Jessica had a light conversation with Jessica's friends. Arga who was stingy spoke only answered as necessary. Clara and inggrit, who were fascinated by Arga, seemed to sparkle while staring at Arga.
“I want to go to the toilet first”pamit Jessica
Jessica went to the toilet alone. Leo who saw Arga who was very indifferent to Jessica was intrigued to ask.
“You're not accompanying Jessi? Aren't you her boyfriend?”ask Leo
Arga shook his head. Tommy, one of Jessica's boyfriends suddenly goes to the toilet.
“I also want to go to toilet”pamit Tommy on everything.
Tommy went to the toilet. But apparently he did not go to the men's toilet but instead stood waiting for Jessica to come out of the women's toilet. Jessica, unaware of Tommy's presence, steps out of the toilet. Suddenly someone held his arm. Jessica was spontaneous. His face was shocked and his eyes widened to see Tommy holding his hand.
“Tommy”
“We have to talk”command Tommy
Tommy pulls Jessica's hand violently and takes her somewhere not far from the toilet. Jessica who felt the awkwardness of Tommy's behavior tried to escape. But Tommy's hand was very strong. Some people who saw the two just watched without anyone trying to help Jessica.
“Tom, release me!”pinta Jessica flicked her hand violently so that Tommy's hand was released.
Suddenly from behind, there was someone holding their hands.
“Kak Arga”
Jessica was shocked to see Arga who was now nearby. With Arga's hand holding Tommy's hand. Arga's face was also seen to be holding back emotions.
“Release Jessica!”arga orders with his cold gaze.
Tommy who was caught had brought Jessica still did not want to let go of Jessica's hand.
“There we have to talk about”ucap Tommy
“Let me go Tom. Nothing we should talk about anymore”return Jessica
“You heard right? Jessica said there's nothing you need to talk about anymore, so please let go of Jessica”ucap Arga with a very cold facial expression.
Arga's hand also gripped Tommy's hand so firmly that Tommy felt pain and finally inevitably let go of his hand in Jessica's hand.
“Thank you kak”ucap Jessica
“We go from here”ajak Arga.
Arga took Jessica away. Arriving in the car, Arga immediately drove his car leaving the mall. Along the way Jessica and Arga just fell silent. They were immersed in their thoughts. Arga was busy driving his car while occasionally glancing at Jessica who was busy staring at the scenery outside the car.
Arriving at a city park, Arga immediately parked his vehicle. Jessica looked towards Arga.
“Why do we stop?”ask Jessica
“There is good ice cream near here, you want?”ask Arga
“Boleh”sahut Jessica
Arga invites Jessica to buy ice cream gelato at one of the stalls near the city park. The two of them enjoyed ice cream while gazing at the scenery in the city park filled with several visitors. Both of them sat in the garden chair.
“Thank you brother for helping me from Tommy”ucap Jessica sincerely.
“Sama-sama”sahut Arga
Jessica breathed for a moment. The brief incident at the mall, a little affect his mood. Tommy's presence among them made Jessica's mood bad.
Jessica smiled at Arga. Arga just kept listening to Jessica's story.
“So I remember I told you I like big brother?”ask Jessica
“Iya”answer Arga Brief
Jessica smiled at Arga's reply.
“After our failed blind date back then, I started trying to forget my sister. I began to concern myself with my college assignments which happened to also be more and more. And in that moment, Tommy came and became my hero”pap Jessica at length told her past with Tommy.
“That time I felt Tommy was very attentive to me. We are finally getting closer. It just so happened that his dad and my dad were business colleagues, so we met more and more often. Then one day, Tommy came and shot me. Because I was also just heartbroken because of my brother, I also accepted Tommy to be my girlfriend” explained Jessica at length
Arga just quietly listened to Jessica's chatter that recounted her memories with Tommy.
“At first I thought he was good. And he was good. But the more the day, I felt he was over-regulating my life. I felt constrained by all his jealousy and rules. His possessive attitude and tendency to obsess over me, made me even more uncomfortable. Eventually, he started to play hands with me. Every time he got angry, he started slapping and hitting me. Of course I don't want to be treated harshly like that”
Jessica started to tear up. There was a sense of sadness that traced the recesses of his heart when he told about his past.
“All the more uncontrollable, because papa just match me with Tommy. Papa thinks because we've been dating, we should continue to a more serious level”
“Didn't you tell your papa about Tommy's behavior?”ask Arga who is starting to be curious about Jessica's story
“He's very good at manipulating the people around me. So in the eyes of my friends and parents, she looks like an angel. And if I complain about his behavior, there is precisely me who is scolded by everyone. They said I was too childish. Can't solve my problem and choose to escape from the problem” said Jessica while wiping her dripping tears.
Arga felt sorry for Jessica. The beautiful girl who became his blind date turned out to be harboring a sad past. Engage in toxic relationships that affect their psychology.
“Then how did you break up with him?”ask Arga
Jessica just kept quiet and then showed her wrist that had an incision. Arga was shocked because he did not expect the girl to do an action that was fairly desperate. Jessica showed the incision while smiling at Arga.
“Why?”ask Arga
“I mean this scar sister?”ask Jessica
“I'm forced. Because I feel like there's no way out for me to get away from Tommy. After the incident, Tommy begged me to go back to him. He promised to change. But for me, I'm pretty involved with a toxic guy like him. I don't want to be with him”ucap Jessica
“Then how did your parents respond?”ask Arga
“After seeing the scars from my body, I finally broke off my relationship with Tommy's family. Papa finally realizes that Tommy is a bad guy for me. That's the story until I broke up with Tommy” Jessica explained
“Are you not a college? Then what about your college?”ask Arga
“After we broke up, Tommy took a semester off from college. And today is our meeting after the breakup, Jessica replied
“That's why you felt uncomfortable in the mall?”ask Arga
Arga's strong instincts can see Jessica who feels uncomfortable during a gathering with her friends. Moreover, seeing Tommy's gaze on him during a conversation with his friends.
“What's so great looking huh kak?”ask Jessica
Arga just nodded slowly and enjoyed his gelato ice cream which was running out.
“Thanks yes kak”ucap Jessica sincerely
“For what?”asked Arga confused
“Have listened to my story. It turns out that it is true, people say, if we tell our problems, as if our problems have been resolved 50%. Brother is a good listener, right? I think big brother is so cute and cold, who doesn't care about anyone else
After enjoying gelato ice cream and listening to all of Jessica's complaints, Arga then drove Jessica home. Jessica was happy because the little attention Arga gave managed to make the flowers in her heart bloom again.
