Go Away

Arkan let go of his hand. Without waiting any longer, he walked away leaving Lunar. He didn't want to hear anything because just imagining Nico holding Lunar's hand filled him with anxiety. He really didn't like being in this situation.

Lunar frowned. "Why is he so angry? I should be the one angry with him for preferring Raya."

She stared at Arkan's back again. "Is it because this is about me having to maintain my dignity as a wife?"

"W-wait, Arkan!"

People just looked at a woman screaming. Insisting on chasing the man who walked quickly. The faces of the two people disappeared as the elevator doors closed tightly.

In the elevator, Arkan didn't mind the woman standing behind him. While Lunar was desperately in a situation where she had to understand it seemed. So, they just stayed silent until the elevator doors opened wide.

Lunar kept walking until she reached their apartment. She slowed her steps as she approached the stairs. Until now, Arkan no longer looked at her and just walked as if she wanted to arrive at her destination soon.

The leg swung back up the stairs and upon arriving at the bedroom door, Lunar had to step back because she was blocked by a pile of cloth. She was forced to accept what Arkan offered her. Upon closer inspection, what she was holding were blankets as well as… pillows?

Lunar lowered her hand slightly so she could see the scene in front of her. "Why are you giving this to me? It's too late to wash now, better do it tomorrow."

"I didn't ask you to wash, but you will sleep in another room."

"What did I hear? You kicked out the owner of this room?"

"Please rest."

That was the last sentence Lunar heard before the door closed tightly. Arkan is too much!

"What must be that angry?" Lunar is a little annoyed.

In the end, Lunar slept in another room. She still didn't accept being thrown out so easily from her supposed resting place, even though she chose to calm herself from her frustration now.

***

Lunar awakens in a position where the head is no longer lying on the pillow. Her neck hurts a lot because she doesn't know since when she sleeps without using a pillow. She slowly got up and walked out of the room.

Seeing Arkan sitting on the dining chair, she also sat there. Breakfast is served in an area near Arkan. It's just there, like breakfast is provided for one person only.

"You didn't prepare breakfast for me?"

"There's plenty of food in the kitchen for you."

Lunar suddenly widened a smile. She rushed into the kitchen and look for the food in question. On the bar table there are two servings of food. She would have felt happy if what she saw wasn't the food that was left out yesterday.

"You can reheat the food." Without realizing it, Arkan was now standing near her.

"It's soggy and you're asking me to heat it up?" Lunar asked pitifully.

Arkan shrugged his shoulders with a look of indifference. "Hope you enjoyed your breakfast. I'm leaving for work now. You don't have to walk me to the apartment door."

Lunar froze in the position of paying attention to the food that was no longer appetizing. She turned to the man who was getting further and further away. This is outrageous. Don't know what Arkan will do after this. They have to talk to solve the problem.

Not wanting to be left behind any further, she blocked Arkan's path so the man couldn't leave. "I can't be in this situation forever. Just because I went out with Nico you don't have to be this angry."

"Your relationship with Nico is none of my business."

“Then, what is your reason for making my situation complicatedyou asked me to sleep in another room and you also didn't provide breakfast for me. Precisely, with the heart to give food yesterday." Now, she scowled sadly while holding her hungry stomach.

Arkan chuckled angrily. "You're so troublesome."

It turned out that he couldn't stay angry at Lunar for long. Even though he still couldn't forget yesterday's events, but seeing Lunar sad made his heart move.

"I kept your food in the refrigerator. You can heat it yourself."

Lunar widened her eyes followed by a broken smile. "Thank you, Arkan. You saved my life!"

Arkan smiled faintly, then quickly interrupted after their distance widened. "One thing you have to remember. You have to tell me if you want to meet Nico. Isn't he bad to you? I just don't want my wife to have trouble. You must also remember that you are my wife! I am responsible for you until our marriage ends."

Lunar widened her smile while watching the man who spoke doubtfully. Even though their marriage only lasted for a short time on the grounds of mutual benefit, Arkan did not relinquish his responsibilities as a husband.

"Thanks for worrying about me."

Arkan paused, then cleared his throat. "I have to go before it's too late."

Leaving Lunar in the apartment, he headed for the office. On the way, he smiled thinking about Lunar. At least more or less anxiety has been resolved.

***

Lunar was busy eating breakfast. Her cheeks were still rising up because she was happy with the relationship that had been good. Like this she could carry on with her wish.

"We've been on vacation before," she muttered, pausing doubtfully on a line of paper.

Does their previous vacation with Raya be included in this? She didn't feel happy about the holiday at all. If she planned another vacation it would be the same. Raya will definitely be taken away by Arkan.

Then, how should she make up for that one unfulfilled wish? Did she invite Arkan to go for a walk? But they cannot visit public places. They will be highlighted by the public. Just yesterday when she was with Nico, they had to fight because of that.

Suddenly an idea came to mind. She grabbed cell phone and immediately called Arkan. She waited quite a while until the call was finally connected.

"You called me just as I was just getting to work."

Lunar laughed dryly. "Sorry. I called you about something important. You said that, right? If I could call you about something important."

"Wait a minute. I'll park the car."

Lunar nodded her head silently. From the phone that wasn't switched off, she could hear some voices from the other side. Finally, she heard a loud bang like a cabin door closing.

"You can already tell me."

"I was thinking if we could go on a picnic this weekend?"

"What? Picnic?" Arkan's voice seemed like he couldn't stop thinking about what was said just now. "So, that's the important thing you mean?"

Lunar nodded her head. "I want to go to a faraway place with you."

"With me?"

"Yes. Just the two of us."

Not hearing an answer made Lunar say again, "Can't you? Do you have a schedule at that time? Or are you going with Raya?"

"No. I just thought we'd go two of us."

"You don't like it?"

"I really like it. But where far away do you mean?"
