Chapter 88

It doesn't feel like time has passed so quickly. Somehow Arka has become closer to Mauren. Arka, who is known to be very difficult to get close to new people, let alone women, can easily get close to Mauren. I don't know what Mauren's attraction is that makes Arka able to get close to him.

Not only Arka and Juna are famous on campus as handsome lecturers and are loved by so many female students and staff as well as other female lecturers, Mauren is also the same. The woman easily managed to attract a lot of men in her new campus. But even so it did not make Mauren big-headed or arrogant, the woman in fact only responded normally.

If asked what made Mauren liked by so many men, the answer might be because she was beautiful. Not only that, Mauren is also known to be smart and gentle and polite. It's natural that he is so liked by many people.

Because Mauren's arrival certainly made Jenny, who from the beginning was not afraid to approach Arka but always failed, feel upset. How could she not, for years she approached Arka but failed. Even since Arka was single until she got married. Meanwhile, Mauren, who had just arrived, had managed to get close to the man.

Because of her annoyance, Jenny disturbed Mauren several times. Even the woman did not hesitate to threaten her not to get close to Arka.

Not only Jenny was jealous that Arka could get close to Mauren, Naya as Arka's wife also felt the same way. Although her husband repeatedly said he was only close as a friend with Mauren, Naya was still jealous.

Naya has known Arka for a long time. From the time she was in high school to now being his wife. From there, Naya had memorized her husband's nature. Arka, who was very difficult to get close to other people, let alone women, was now suddenly easily close to Mauren.

"I don't like you getting too close to Mauren!"

While making an annoyed face, Naya folded her hands in front of her chest. She was currently in the car with her husband going home after a long day on campus.

There was a long exhale coming from Arka's mouth. The man had told Naya several times that he was not close to Mauren. Their closeness was only limited to students and lecturers. Because Arka happened to have a friend who was a doctor, the man was asked by Mauren to ask his friend about things he didn't understand about medicine. But as he repeatedly explained, Naya still didn't believe him.

"How many times do I have to say I'm not close to she. Our relationship is limited to lecturer and student."

"Really? You were never close to other students like you were with Mauren."

"Naya...," before Arka could continue, the man suddenly got a call.

It turned out that the person who had just contacted her was Mauren. 

You can see how surprised Arka was when she received the call. How could he not, Mauren contacted him while crying.

"Mauren, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying?"

Hearing her husband mention Mauren's name made Naya both surprised and annoyed. Just as she was talking about the woman, now the woman was calling her husband. Plus her husband's panicked reaction when he received the call.

"Okay you wait for me there, you relax I'll be there now."

"What? Where are you going? To see Mauren? I'm not letting you see she!" Naya said just as her husband was about to get out of the car after finishing his chat with Mauren.

Naya was sure her husband must have wanted to see Mauren.

"Nay, Mauren is in danger. Someone locked her in an empty bathroom. I have to help her."

Naya was quite surprised to hear her husband's words. She felt sorry for Mauren but on the other hand, she didn't want her husband to meet the woman.

"You can ask someone else to help her. Why should you?"

"Nay, Please. Don't be childish. I just want to help her."

"Whatever! If you dare to get out of the car and meet Mauren, I'll go home myself!" Naya threatened. She was sure her husband wouldn't dare go against her threat.

But who would have thought that Naya would be wrong. After apologizing to her, Arka immediately got out of the car and ran away. This of course made Naya both surprised and upset.

"ARKA!!!"

"You'd rather do that than be afraid of my threats."

....

Arka hurriedly ran through the campus corridors to the empty bathroom at the back of the building. On the way, the man accidentally bumped into Juna.

"Arka, where are you going?"

"Juna, I want to help Mauren. Someone locked her in an empty bathroom."

"Really? Can I help you?"

"No, you don't have to. I'm just asking you, please take Naya home. She's in the parking lot now." Right after saying this Arka immediately continued her steps towards the place where Mauren was.

After a long run, Arka finally arrived at the empty bathroom. The man could hear crying and banging on the door from one of the bathroom stalls. 

Convinced that Mauren was inside the bathroom, he quickly ran there.

"Mauren it's me, Arka. You're inside right?"

"Mr. Arka please help me. I'm scared!"

"Get away from the door, I'll break it down."

With all his might Arka began to break down the bathroom door. After several attempts, the door was finally broken down. When the door opened, Mauren came out and immediately hugged Arka while crying.

"Calm down, you're safe," said Arka while rubbing Mauren's back who was currently in his arms.

Without realizing it, there were tears that immediately fell heavily watching the hug scene between Arka and Mauren. Naya, the woman deliberately followed Arka. How surprised Naya was to see her husband hugging another woman in front of her eyes.

It wasn't only Naya who witnessed the incident, Juna was also not left behind. The man had wanted to take Naya home according to Arka's orders, but Naya refused and went straight after Arka.

:::

In the night, Naya was seen waiting for Arka's return. Since this afternoon, right after helping Mauren who was trapped in an empty bathroom, until now Arka has not returned home. That certainly made Naya worried.

Suddenly, bad thoughts began to haunt her. Could Arka have taken Mauren home? He had definitely taken her home. But the question was, why hadn't her husband come home at this time of night? Where had he gone?

"No Naya, you mustn't think the worst. Arka wouldn't betray you."

Hearing Kenzo's sudden cries, Naya rushed over to him. She chose to calm her son rather than wait for her husband who never came home.
