You Pinang Me As Honey

Episode 11: Girang

Tok..

Jekkrek...

The sound of a room door being knocked on, then opened. Bi Imah went into Arinda's room with a little surprise, finding Ardan sitting on the floor with his back against the wall.

Ardan signaled to Bi Imah to be still, by attaching his index finger to the lips. He did not want Arinda to know that Ardan had witnessed his lament. Bi Imah understood, then stepped to where Arinda was without closing the room door. Give Ardan a chance if he wants to get out.

Bi Imah looked at Ardan as he passed by. His eyes. There's a cry there. Making Bi Imah sure, that Ardan is really in love with Arinda.

"Excuse me, Ms. Arinda..." Sapa Bi Imah after arriving at the balcony.

"Eh, yes Bi Imah..."Arinda turned towards Bi Imah. Arinda's eyes almost swollen from a long cry. But Arinda's lips can still smile, despite being forced.

"Bak Arinda eat first, yeah. It's almost noon, Madam Arinda hasn't had breakfast."

"yes, Bi..."

Then Bi imah immediately put down the tray he brought from the kitchen, containing rice with a side dish and separate vegetables.

"Thank you, Bi..." Arinda immediately put rice into her mouth, after taking enough side dishes and vegetables. But then, Arinda seemed to cry again, with her mouth full of food.

Bi Imah who witnessed the scene felt bitter. Alternately look towards Arinda and Ardan who are still behind the wall. Only able to breathe. There was a heart-wrenching pain, seeing the man she had cared for since childhood crying for a woman.

Arinda ate quickly, but did not seem to enjoy the meal.

"Slow down eat it, Sister Arinda..." Said Bi Imah worried about seeing the way Arinda ate.

Sure enough, Arinda then choked. He grabbed a glass of water and gulped it down violently. Bi Imah tried to help her by patting Arinda's back gently.

Ardan who was still sitting quietly in his place, felt a pain that cut his heart. The girl in his heart was suffering. He was about to leave the room, but as he stood up, Arinda said something.

"Am I wrong, Bi...?"

Bi Imah just fell silent, not knowing what to answer.

"I know, Ardan is a good man. Exceptionally well. But I never knew he'd do this." Arinda. Crying again.

"There's nothing wrong, Arinda." Bi Imah. "Maybe Ms. Arinda is still in shock with all these circumstances. Or maybe it's because of Mas Ardan......" Bi Imah glanced at Ardan, making him not until the heart continued its words.

Arinda looked at Bi Imah questioningly. Waiting for the next sentence of Bi Imah. But Bi Imah realized, he had almost made a mistake.

"Eee..., uhh.no, Sister Arinda. Calm down, everything's gonna be okay." Bi Imah tried to make Arinda forget what she had said earlier.

Arinda quiet. Turning his gaze in the other direction, understand with the spirit of Bi Imah who does not want to discuss about her employer.

"Aryn..." A voice suddenly appeared in a moment of silence. Ardan who was already standing at the balcony door surprised Arinda and Bi Imah.

"When did you stand there...? Just surprised..." Said Arinda who was still upset. But he did not realize, the tone of his speech had returned like Arinda who Ardan knew first. Ardan smiled with relief hearing that. It seemed, Arinda had started to stabilize after crying so hard earlier.

"Take your food,,,!! After that come with me..." Ardan continued while reaching for the chair he had been sitting in. Take some snacks that have not been touched in the least. Ardan was hungry because he had not had time to eat breakfast.

"Where are you...?" Ask Arinda.

"Didn't you want to leave the room...? Bi Imah said, you want to look around this house..."

"Haahh... Is it really...???" Arinda's eyes immediately sparkled. His face was like the sunrise. For days he was locked in a room. Ardan's call was like an oasis in the desert.

Arinda finished her meal. A smile was already visible on his lips that were chewing food. Bi Imah and Ardan smiled amusedly looking at that. There was a sense of relief in their hearts.

"Yeah..." Arinda's voice was excited.

"Aahh..then...!!!" Arinda got up from her seat. Pouring his empty plate to Bi imah. "Thank you, Bi Imah." Then walked quickly towards the door, already about to get out. But stopped again because Ardan had not yet moved from his seat.

"Yumoo..." Half whispered while shaking hands, asking Ardan to come immediately.

"Why can he change so quickly...?" Ardan muttered with a head, annoyed. But in his heart, Ardan girang is not a bitch.

"Hurry up, Mas Ardan. Come on over there, it's been waiting for..." Bi Imah almost laughed at the behavior of the two. Very amusing.

"Good, Bi..." Rise up with pleasure. "Prepare my meal on a park bench, Bi. Hungry, ", said Ardan before he left.

Finally, Arinda stepped out of her room with Ardan. Look around some of the rooms upstairs. Ardan pointed out while explaining one by one. There's Ardan's room next to Arinda's. There is a fitness room with wide glass windows, showing natural scenery that is no less beautiful. There was a library, and several other rooms that Ardan had no time to show. Because Arinda took him down.

Downstairs, there was Victor sitting in the living room, looking at his laptop, with several phones next to him. He's at work. Then he rushed to his feet when he saw Ardan and Arinda were coming down the stairs.

"Good day, Mr. Ardan..." Then say hello to Arinda. "Miss Arinda..." While lowering his head. Arinda looked awkward in front of Victor. Nodding your head a little.

"This is Victor, my personal assistant..." Ardan. Arinda nodded in understanding. And smiled at Victor.

"He and Bi Imah are my confidants. They know me inside and out..." Ardan explained his second position which was quite important to him.

After leaving Victor who was still continuing his work, they went around downstairs. Ardan explained all the parts like the one upstairs earlier. A few moments later, the lower room was finished. And they proceed to Ardan's favorite place.

"I like sitting here..." Ardan showed me a bench in the garden behind the house. From there looks the lake that Arinda has been looking at from the balcony.

"May I go there...?" Pointing towards the lake. His eyes were hoping that Ardan would allow it.

Ardan nodded. And Arinda looked very excited. Arinda ran towards the lake. Enjoyed the fresh air that afternoon. Although the sun already looks high, but the remaining thin fog there blocks the light from touching the earth.

"Waaahhh..great beauty..." Arinda's voice makes Ardan happy. He enjoyed nature in front of him. But for him, looking at Arinda who seemed to enjoy the beauty of nature, was more pleasant and refreshing to his eyes.

For a while they were by the lake. The starving Ardan invites Arinda back to the park. It looks Bi Imah who has been standing there with several waiters, indicating the food order is ready.

"Let's go back to the park..." Take Ardan. Although reluctant, but Arinda did not refuse because Ardan had said that he had not eaten since this morning.

They walked to the park. They didn't talk much at the time. Ardan was still afraid and worried if he said something that made Arinda hurt. Because for him, seeing Arinda happy was more important then. He promised that he would only make Arinda happy here.

Meanwhile...

"You're still in Milan, miss...?" Victor's voice was talking to someone through his cell phone.

....

"Go home next week, Miss. Mr. Ardan is going to hold an event..."

....

"I beg you, Miss. I hope Miss is not off guard..."

....

"Alright, but I'll remind Miss every day. The show is very important, Miss..."

....

Conversation's over.

Victor was silent after turning off his phone.

"Go home soon, Miss. If not, you'll be sorry forever..."
