Chapter 40

"Arka!" 

 

 Juna, who had just returned from meeting her friend, accidentally saw Arka in the hotel lobby. The man quickly walked over to Arka who was standing a few steps away.  

 

A smile appeared clearly on Juna's lips when the man was standing right in front of Arka. This is very different from Arka, who seems lazy when he sees Juna's presence. 

 

“Where are you from and where are you going? If you have time, can you follow me for a while? I have something to talk with you. Just a moment, not long." 

 

In the end, Arka nodded, the man went with Juna to the restaurant located on the edge of the beach. After ordering several drinks, Arka, who couldn't wait to go back to his room, asked Juna to quickly say what he wanted to say.  

 

“First of all, I want to apologize if I might have done something wrong to you. From now on I will stay here with Yuna. Before you and the others return to Jakarta, I want to straighten out all the misunderstandings that might have occurred between us," said Juna, making Arka who was His sullen face suddenly changed into a curious expression. 

 

Juna seemed silent for a moment before finally continuing her words. Actually, the man's purpose in wanting to chat with Arka was to clear up the misunderstanding between them and apologize. Juna realized that all this time she must have been unknowingly making mistakes with Arka. Juna wants to start his new life with Yuna peacefully without any problems with his friends.  

 

“Arka, I know all this time you've never liked my closeness to Naya. No matter how hard I say that if Naya and I don't have any relationship, you definitely won't believe that. But one thing you have to know, Naya loves you very much. I also really loved Yuna. I chose Yuna as my wife because I loved her. From the start I never had feelings for Naya other than affection as a friend. Jihan told me everything about you not liking me and Naya hugging that night You know, it's just a friendly hug, nothing more. I'm not asking you to trust me. What's clear is that I want to apologize if I've often annoyed you."  

 

 

Arka was quite stunned by what Juna had just said. The man was also surprised to find out that Jihan had already told Juna his secret. Tsk, Jihan is not an easy person to trust, he thought to himself.  

 

“That's all I want to say. Tomorrow you'll be going back to Jakarta, right? Sorry, it looks like Yuna and I can't take you to the airport because we have something to do. I hope that after this we can still be good friends. Well then, you can Go back to your room. Sorry for interrupting your time."  

 

Juna had gotten up, intending to return to her room. However, before the man had time to take a step, Arka's sudden voice made him give up his intention to leave.  

 

“I'm also sorry, I'm sorry because I've always thought badly of you. It seems like I'm the one who's childish here because I get jealous easily. I'm sorry," said Arka as he stood up.  

 

Now Arka and Juna are seen facing each other while looking at each other. Instantly, a happy smile spread across Juna's lips. The man was happy because Arka finally accepted his apology.   

 

“Arka, I don't blame you because you are innocent. I understand your position. If I were in your position, maybe I would also do the same thing."  

 

“I feel very embarrassed because it turns out you are much more mature than me. I was even your former teacher, but I actually looked childish compared to my students."  

 

With a smile still growing on her lips, Juna patted Arka's shoulder lightly "Sometimes there are times when age is not a benchmark for someone to act maturely. But even so, I am proud of you. You are a great man who succeeded in making Naya bend her knees. Arka, are we going to start now can you be friends?"  

 

Seeing Arka who was just silent without replying to her words, Juna immediately grabbed Arka's body and immediately hugged him as a sign of friendship. What Juna did certainly annoyed Arka. Arka loudly struggled while screaming.   

 

“Juna! You made us see a lot of people!! People will think we're gay!" 

 

“I don't care, what's important is that I'm friends with you!"

 

,,,,,,,,,

 

While putting his clothes and belongings into the suitcase. Naya looks lost in thought thinking about her relationship with Arka. The girl still couldn't get Jolie out of her mind. It felt like before she knew everything, the girl wouldn't be able to calm down. 

 

 In the middle of his activities, Jihan suddenly came. Jihan, who had Naya's room access card, immediately entered and approached Naya on her bed. Without saying anything, the girl lifted herself onto the bed. 

 

“Are you finished? I want to take you out for a short walk before returning to Jakarta tomorrow."  

 

“Just you, I'm tired and want to rest."  

 

Seeing her friend's tired face, Jihan was sure that Naya was thinking about Arka's relationship with Jolie. Because he didn't want his friend to get too caught up in sadness, Jihan forced Naya to come with him.  

 

“Come on Nay, look at the beautiful night view of Bali's beaches. We have to spend our time before returning to Jakarta."  

 

“I don't want to go, Jihan."  

 

“I don't want to know, basically you have to come with me. Come on quickly!! The others are already waiting in the lobby. Trust me, if you come you will be happy!"  

 

In the end, Naya just gave in when Jihan grabbed her hand, took her out of the room and left for some reason. Maybe what Jihan said was true, she shouldn't get too caught up in sadness. She needs to refresh to forget all her problems, even if only for a moment. Besides, Naya also feels bad about her friends.   

 

They should be able to go on holiday and travel around Bali, but because of the problem they all have to worry about it.  

 

There were already friends in the hotel lobby, including Yuna and Juna. Again, Naya didn't see Arka's presence. Never mind, it seems like Arka is no longer serious about their relationship. Naya decided not to pay attention to the man anymore.  

 

“Naya, are you ready? Let's go," said Juna.  

 

"Where are we actually going?"  

 

“Never mind, just come along, you'll find out later. Come on, hurry up!"  

 

It turns out his friends took him to the beach. Because it was night, the beach was not very visible.   

 

“Why did you bring me here? What do you want to see at this time of night? We'd better go to the shopping center to buy souvenirs." 

 

"Come on, you're so talkative. We have a surprise for you. You close your eyes for a moment, okay?" 

 

Seeing Jihan was about to cover her eyes with a cloth, Naya refused. 

 

“Why do you have to close them? You don't intend to throw me into the sea, right?" 

 

“Oh my God Naya, how could we possibly have the heart to do that. Come on, just keep quiet and follow our wishes, or we will really throw you into the sea!" 

 

Finally Naya gave in. The girl was silent when Jihan started covering her eyes with a cloth. After Naya's eyes were successfully closed, Jihan asked the others to leave. 

 

“Don't open it before I tell you to," Jihan ordered before walking away from Naya.
