If you had known who Zoya really was, would you have accepted her later Arka. Poor Zoya. He wanted to see his father once. But for now I'm not ready to say it.
Arka then got up from her seat. After that he looked at the princess.
"Daughter, are you crying.? You why? It's like you're carrying a heavy burden."
The princess wiped her tears.
"I'm nothing Arka."
Arka grabbed the Princess' hand. He also wiped away the Princess' tears.
"Say Princess, if you have any problems. Who knows if I can help. I also want to apologize for my error at that time."
The princess smiled even though her heart was crying. How heavy the burden of life has befallen him. The Princess' mother died when Zoya was 9 months old. And the Princess must be the one-bred virgin who is always the one who is the oppressor. And now he has a serious illness.
Arka hugged the Princess tightly. I don't know what an Ark's embrace means.
"Cry if you want to cry Princess. I have sinned against you. I was in the khilaf at that time. I shouldn't have taken your virginity."
The princess cried so much in Arka's arms.
"Carcinium..."The princess hugged Arka very tightly.
Well, he doesn't need to look for Arka. Arka was in front of him. Only he has not dared to say that Zoya is the son of Arka.
Arka took off her embrace.
"Sleep Princess, it's night. Keep your child asleep."
"Yes Arka."
"I'm in the next room. If you need anything just call me yes."
Arka then left the Princess' room.
The princess was crying in her room. He then lay down on the side of his son.
"My dear Zoya. You've met your father, son. And you were carried by Papa." Say Princess while peeping Zoya's forehead.
Zoya and Princess then fall asleep. Tonight, they sleep in Arka's apartment.

Half-hour two nights. Tanti woke up from her sleep. He stepped his foot in the bathroom.
He then performed the istikharah prayer.
"O Allah, Lord, forgive all sins. Please show it to Tanti. The best match for Tanti. If Mr. Arka is Tanti's match, then make it easy for us to unite, but if not, then keep Mr. Arka with Tanti. O Allah, meet Tanti Aurelia's son with Tanti."Said Tanti on the sidelines of her crying.
The tears flooded her cheeks. He was sobbing in the pain. Sadness when hearing the words of Arka, if Arka will marry Jihan.
"Master...Why should I be the victim. Why would you make me fall in love if you would end up hurting me like this." Tanti lirih.
Nia who was still asleep in bed. Her eyes opened when she heard Tanti's cry.
Nia then went down and wanted to entertain.
"Sir Tanti why? Why cry?"Asked Nia who had no idea about Arka at all.
"I'm okay Nia." Tanti's Lies.
"So Brother should be happy. Kan sak Arka has proposed to Kak Tanti. And Kak Tanti has been dancing all night with Kak Arka."
Tanti hugged Nia tightly.
How painful my heart is Nia, hearing that Lord Arka is about to marry Jihan. Don't you know, about my feelings Arka.
"Sister, let's tell Brother why? I'll always be on Tanti's side."
Finally, Tanti told Nia.
"Kak Arka will marry Jihan Nia. "
"What!" Nia surprised.
Nia also looked disappointed. Though he has been supporting Arka and Tanti's relationship. But why it's like this. Getting complicated.
"Patience is Brother. When it comes to this, Nia cannot help. Arka's sister loved Alicia's mother very much."

This morning, Arka was ready to go to the office. She sees Princess and Zoya still asleep. Again Arka's eyes headed towards Zoya. She smiles.
Why, well, when I look at the boy, I feel happy. I feel comfortable. All my burdens are reduced. Inner Arc.
Arka pulled out the curtains of the Princess' room. Putting Princess and Zoya awake.
"Good morning...?"Said Arka with a smile.
"Ih, Om handsome is still here?" Zoya.
"Yes dong is beautiful. Now you're in Om's apartment."
"Yes?" Zoya said happily.
The princess smiled seeing Arka so attentive to Zoya.
Arka immediately held Zoya. Arka then takes Zoya to the dining room.
"Sit down first, baby. Now we eat. I've made Zoya and Mama Zoya fried rice."
"Arca. You smell so good. You're going to the office." Ask Princess.
"Yes. Princess."
"Sorry, I'm bad luck." Princess Saying.
"It's okay. I was waiting for you to wake up. But you guys aren't waking up. Must be tired huh?" Ask Arka.
Princess smile.
"Arka, let me take a shower with Zoya. We'll eat it later."
"OKAY. But for now, I can't keep you guys eating. I was in a hurry."
"Belah..."
"Oya Princess. You just stay here first. Let Zoya be here first. I don't know why, Princess, I love Zoya. Well maybe, 'cause I miss the kid's presence."Arka.
"What, you and Laura don't have kids yet?"
Arka shakes.
"Laura barren. He can't give me a son."
"Propay for Arka."
"Alright Arka. If you don't mind, I'll stay here for a while."
***
Waiting and waiting. That's how it is now Laura. In every smile there is a wound, in his stubbornness there is hate. I don't know when Laura will be able to survive with Arka.
In her solitude Laura cried. For two nights Arka had not accompanied him to sleep. I don't know where Arka's sleeping now. Sleeping in the apartment with the Princess, or sleeping in Tanti's house, or maybe in sleeping in her parents' house that obviously Jihan always has there Laura doesn't know. He could only cry and cry. It had been almost as long as a month she had not received the gentle touch and caress of her husband.
"Arca...You have not been anything like this to me. Don't you know that I'm in need of your touch tonight Arka. I'm your wife Arka. I'm paralyzed I want to be loved, I want to be hugged, but you where Arka. I miss..." Laura said in the middle of her crying.
Laura still looked at the photo of Arka with herself. Laura gently stroked the face of Arka in the photo.
"Yes Allah...Carcass. Why have you changed so much. Until when do you treat me like this."
Tok tok...
"Now..." Laura said.
Get in.
"Miss, Mister is home Miss." Saying Bik Inah's.
"Yes Bik. Where is he?"
"He was talking to Idris.
Laura wiped her tears.
He immediately put the photo to its original place.
