Chapter 62

Sitting himself in front of the laptop screen, Zack was seen reading carefully the series of writings on his laptop screen. The man was looking into Arka. Starting from her identity to her life. 

Honestly, Zack still didn't really believe that Arka and Naya were married. He thought that maybe what Jenny had said earlier was just a lie. But who would have thought that the actual facts say that it is true that Naya is Arka's wife. Seen from social media account posts that are suspected of belonging to Naya. In the post, photos were seen when Naya and Arka got married.

I don't know why it feels so tight. Zack himself doesn't know why it came to this. If you think he met Naya only twice, but for some reason the man immediately fell in love with her. It was like Naya had managed to make him fall in love with her at first sight. But unfortunately his love had to run aground before fighting because it turned out that the woman he loved was already married. 

married.

"Looks like I have to meet Jenny. If it's true that Jenny is almost married to Arka that means she knows a lot about them."

Right at that moment Zack immediately contacted Reyhan to ask for Jenny's cell phone number because he had never had her cell phone number before. As soon as he got it, without thinking he immediately contacted her to be invited to meet and it turned out that Jenny immediately agreed to his invitation.

….

...

Zack has now arrived at the cafe where he made an appointment with Jenny. But it seems he arrived first because Jenny wasn't there. It wasn't long before Jenny arrived. She approached him as soon as she saw him.

"Sorry I'm late, the road was a little jammed. What brings you to meet me here?"

"Order a drink first and then we'll start chatting."

They started ordering food and drinks. After the food and drinks arrived, Zack told Jenny his purpose in asking her to meet him.

"You said that you were almost married to Arka, right? That means you know him well. I'm sure you must know Naya too."

Jenny nodded. She looked a little confused as to why Zack was asking her about Arka and Naya. But despite her curiosity, she chose to wait for him to continue and tell her the purpose of the meeting.

"I want to know about Arka. The reason why you almost married her but didn't and Naya ended up marrying her."

"Wait, why are you asking that? Don't you like Naya?" Jenny asked suspiciously.

Zack was silent. He didn't know how to answer her question. But his silence made Jenny immediately understand.

"Zack, do you really like Naya? Oh my God, how could you? But isn't Naya already married to Arka?"

"I don't know. I don't know if I like her or not. I've only met her twice but somehow she always occupies my mind. I don't know why I want to know so many things about her and Arka."

Zack's words made Jenny immediately silent. The woman was quite surprised to know that Zack actually liked Naya. But soon Jenny smiled, it seemed like the woman was thinking of something that made her smile happily.

"If you really like Naya, I can help you."

"What do you mean?"

"Just so you know, I also like Arka. I was even set up with him long before he knew Naya. But I don't know what Naya did to him that made him cancel our arranged marriage. Arka and I were on the verge of getting married but Naya suddenly came along and ruined our wedding. Until now I still like Arka. If you like Naya I'll help you get her, but you also have to help me get Arka."

"Wait a minute, what do you mean? You want to get me to work together to separate them? But aren't they already married? They even have kids."

Jenny nodded "Married people can get divorced, right? If we manage to get them divorced that means you can have Naya and I can have Arka. As for their kids, let them figure it out. How about it, do you agree?"

Zack was silent. He didn't know whether to accept Jenny's offer or not. On the other hand he was starting to like Naya and wanted to get her but on the other hand he couldn't bear to ruin Naya's household. 

"You think carefully first, if you have the answer, call me."

"Kenzo has a rash on his cheek, where did you take him?"

Arka, who had been playing with his cell phone, looked up as soon as he heard Naya's question. The man immediately put down his cell phone before standing up and approaching Naya.

It could be seen that there was a rash on Kenzo's cheek. 

"You must have let people touch him? There must have been a lot of people who touched Kenzo's cheeks like this. Arka, you know Kenzo's face is sensitive!"

Naya looked so upset and angry. She was worried about the rash on her son's cheek and she was sure it was the result of someone touching his cheek.

Arka was silent for a while. He remembered that some students had managed to touch Kenzo's cheeks. But he didn't dare to tell Naya about it. When it came to Kenzo, Naya would be very fierce.

"I don't know. I just brought him to my room. I didn't take him anywhere else," Arka lied. It would be bad if Naya found out that Kenzo had been touched by someone else.

"But why is there a rash on his cheek? It can't be because someone touched his cheek. Or maybe you put him somewhere that wasn't clean?"

"No Naya, Kenzo has been in his trolley ever since. I got some medicine to treat his rash."

Not wanting to be interrogated by Naya any longer, Arka rushed out of the room to get the rash medicine that Kenzo used to use if the boy had a rash.

::::

"Hey Naya!"

"Zack, what are you doing here?"

Naya, who had just finished shopping for household needs, accidentally bumped into Zack. She was quite surprised to see Zack suddenly appear in front of her. 

If Naya usually met him on campus, this time it was in a shopping center so it made her quite surprised.

"Take a shower."

"Taking a shower? Here? Why, don't you have a bathroom?"

Zack chuckled at Naya's question. He was only joking but Naya took it seriously. "I was just joking. This is a shopping center, of course I come here to shop. Do you like shopping here too?"

Naya shook her head "No, just a few times. Usually not here. It's just that I don't want to leave my son at home for too long so I choose the closest one to my house."

"Oh so your house isn't far from here? By the way, you have a lot of groceries. Can I help you?"

"No need, I can carry it myself. You want to go shopping anyway, right?"

"I can go shopping anytime. You have a lot of stuff so I'll help you. What did you take, an online taxi or a private car?"

"No need, I came here by online taxi. But someone will pick me up in a minute."

Not long after Naya said that someone would pick her up, a black car arrived. Arka, seeing his wife with another man, quickly got out of his car and walked over to her.

"You? What are you doing here?" asked Arka angrily when he found out that the one who was currently with his wife was Zack, the man he didn't like.

"Arka, this is Zack. Zack is one of the new students on campus," said Naya, introducing Zack to Arka.

With a forced smile, Zack extended his hand to shake Arka's and introduced himself, "Hello, I'm Zack. Naya's friend."

Instead of accepting Zack's handshake, Arka just stayed silent while staring unhappily at Zack's hand. Until shortly afterwards, without saying a word, the man grabbed Naya's hand, took her into the car and drove away.

"How polite is that lecturer? I've been good about introducing myself but he responded like that."

Not wanting to think too much about Arka's attitude, Zack chose to go into the super market and do some shopping.

:::

....

On the way home Arka didn't stop scolding Naya. He was angry and didn't like seeing his wife with another man, let alone Zack, a person he really disliked.

"Since when do you know him? I don't want to see you near him again!"

"Why? Wait a minute, why are you angry that I'm chatting with Zack? Do you know him? Oh I know, you're a lecturer and he's a student, you must know each other."

"I don't know him! I only know him. He's someone I don't like. The one I've been telling you about. The one who has no manners and the one who once almost bumped into me but didn't want to apologize properly," Arka said in an angry tone.

Naya finally understood why her husband had not stopped being angry when he found out she was chatting with Zack. It turned out that Zack was the person she really disliked.

"So Zack is the one? Oh mu gosh Arka, you know who I often tell you about? The person who often helps me? He is Zack."

You can see Arka's surprised reaction now. He didn't know that the person Naya had been telling him about, the one who always helped her, was Zack. After knowing this, Arka immediately forbade Naya to accept help from Zack.

"From now on I don't want you to accept help from him anymore. I also don't want to see you chatting with him. If you need help, call me."

"Arka, Zack is good, not as bad as you think."

"I don't want to know, you need to stay away from him!"

Seeing that her husband was on the verge of getting upset, Naya chose to keep quiet rather than fight with him. But honestly, Naya was quite confused about what Zack had done to Arka to make her that angry. It couldn't have been just the near-collision that made Arka dislike Zack.

:::

"I accidentally met Arka while I was with Naya."

After returning from shopping, Zack immediately stopped by Jenny's house to tell her about his meeting with Arka at the super market earlier. I don't know what made him so eager to meet Jenny and tell her everything.

"So what?"

"I wonder what made you like him so much? I'm also wondering why Naya wants to marry him."

"What do you mean?"

"If you look at him, he seems like a pretty rough guy. He gets angry easily too. What do you expect from someone like that? If it's just good looks, of course I'm no less handsome, right?"

Hearing Zack compare himself to Arka made Jenny dislike it. It was clear that no matter how handsome Zack was, for Jenny, Arka was still the most handsome.

"Don't compare yourself to Arka, you're far below Arka. Tell me quickly what made you come here?"

"I think I want to accept your offer. I want to work with you to separate them."

"Are you sure? I don't want you to suddenly change your mind when we're halfway through our plan."

"Yes, I'm sure."

"Wait, what makes you suddenly change your mind? I thought you wouldn't want to."

Zack was silent for a while. Actually, he didn't want to accept Jenny's offer either, but after seeing Arka's attitude towards him earlier made him think enough to accept Jenny's offer.

"I don't know, I just want to see them split up."

"And of course you want to have Naya, right?"

Jenny asked but there was no response from Zack.

Jenny looked speechless while smiling happily. She didn't expect him to accept her offer. Jenny thought Zack would never accept her offer but she was wrong.

"Since you've accepted my offer, let's shake hands as a sign that we're working together."

Smiling, Jenny extended her hand and Zack smiled as he accepted her handshake. Whether this is true or not Zack doesn't know.

:::

"It's Naya! Now your job is to get to her. Hurry up!"

Instead of rushing over to Naya, Zack just stood still without moving an inch. 

"Why are you still here? Go get Naya!"

"What should I do? What do you mean I should go to her? There's no way I'm suddenly going to her for no reason."

A long exhale was heard coming out of Jenny's mouth. She was quite annoyed at Zack's question. Was it just like this that he had to teach her? Just being asked to approach Naya is very difficult, Jenny thought.

"You still have a brain, right? Think for yourself! Do I have to teach you or give you a reason to approach Naya?"

Hearing Jenny's harsh way of speaking made Zack smile here. No wonder Arka didn't want to be with Jenny, it was because she was quite rude, very different from Naya. Zack thought.

"Why are you still silent? Are you really asking me to think of a reason?"

"Okay, I'm leaving now." Right after saying this Zack immediately rushed to Naya who was standing in the campus lobby alone.

Zack slowly walked over to Naya. As soon as he arrived in front of Naya, he greeted her. "Hi Naya."

You could see Naya's shocked reaction when Zack suddenly came up to her. "Zack? Oh My Gosh you surprised me."

Zack chuckled at Naya's words. Then he asked, "What are you doing here alone? Not home yet?"

"I'm waiting for Arka to come home with me. He said he still has class for a while. Why aren't you home yet? Do you still have class?"

"No. I was about to go home and accidentally saw you here, so I came over to you. Arka Ahh i mean Mr. Arka is still long? Instead of waiting, how about I take you home? It's already cloudy too, I'm afraid it will rain."

Without thinking, Naya immediately rejected Zack's offer. Not because she wanted to reject the kindness of others, it's just that Naya had told her husband earlier that she was waiting in the lobby to go home together. If she had gone home first, especially with Zack escorting her, Arka would have gone berserk.

"No, thank you for the offer. Arka will be done soon. You go ahead."

"Are you sure? Then it's okay if I accompany you to wait here, right?"

Naya seemed to be thinking until she nodded hesitantly. Actually, Naya was afraid that Arka would see Zack, afraid that he would get angry but there was no way she could forbid Zack from being there.

"As you wish."

For a long time the two of them stood in front of the campus lobby without speaking. They didn't realize that they had been standing there for almost 10 minutes without any conversation. Zack, who had started to feel uncomfortable, finally started a conversation.

"It's been a while since you should contact Mr. Arka, maybe he forgot?"

"I sent him a message, he said it would be a while."

Zack nodded.

"Naya, can I ask you something?"

"What?"

"Mr. Arka is your husband? I'm sorry if my question is a little private. You don't have to answer it if you don't want to."

Even though he already knew that Naya was Arka's wife, for some reason Zack wanted to make sure and hear Naya directly say if she was Arka's wife or not.

"Yes, I am his wife. Why, it's a bit strange, isn't it?"

"No, it's not. What's so weird about it?"

"Yes, it's strange. You must think I'm still young but already have a husband. I even have a child."

"There's nothing strange about it, it's normal. Aren't there many people who get married young?"

Before Naya could answer Zack's question, Arka suddenly arrived. The man looked annoyed at his wife's company with Zack. 

"Naya, let's go home!" Arka said in a high tone. He pulled Naya's hand to take her home without saying a word to Zack. 

"Zack I'm going home first, thanks for keeping me company," Naya said quickly as Arka started to pull her hand away.

Zack nodded in response to Naya's words.

...

"Didn't I tell you not to get close to that guy, why are you so hard to tell?"

Once in the car, Arka was furious. That man really didn't like Naya being close to Zack.

"We accidentally met earlier and Zack accompanied me to wait for you."

"You had to accompany me? Don't you dare to wait alone? Aren't you used to waiting for me there by yourself?"

A long exhale was heard coming out of Naya's mouth. Just because Zack was waiting for her, Arka was already angry like this.

"Anyway, this is the last time I see you near him and I don't want to see him again!"

"Why? Why are you forbidding me to get close to Zack?"

"You're still asking why, Naya, you already have a husband. Is it appropriate for you to see or be close to another man?"

"We're not close. We met by accident. Oh My Gosh Arka, we don't have any relationship at all, why are you so angry? I wonder if there must be another reason why you don't like me being close to Zack. What is it?"

"Nothing. I just don't want to see you close to him. Never mind I don't want to discuss it anymore!" Right after saying this Arka immediately started her car to go home.

Along the way home no one spoke a word. Arka focused on driving while Naya chose to remain silent while staring out the window.

:::

"How? Why don't you take Naya home?"

Not long after Arka and Naya left, Jenny approached Zack. She was quite confused to see him alone without Naya. Jenny had previously gone to the toilet for a while so she didn't know that Naya had left with Arka.

"How do you want to take her home, her handler already pulled her home," Zack replied in an annoyed tone.

"Handler?"

"Her husband!"

"Arka? Wasn't Naya alone earlier?"

"She was in the lobby waiting for her husband. I was going to take her home but suddenly he came and pulled her away. I wonder what you guys like about a rude guy like Arka?"

Hearing Zack comment on Arka's attitude made Jenny unhappy. No matter how bad Arka is, in Jenny's eyes Arka is still a perfect man. No one should judge him badly, including Zack.

"Instead of commenting on Arka's attitude, you should introspect yourself. Why can't you get close to Naya when you're not as rude as Arka. I have to teach, just don't forget our agreement. We must succeed in separating them."
