Old Love Mates
You gonna hit him?

"Have you been married to Arga for a long time?" ask Jesica.

After following Jesica to the cafe. Zia and Jesica sat in the cafe and chatted. They both ordered drinks and cakes, to accompany them to tell stories.

"It's not long" Zia replied as she rummaged through her drink.

"Have you guys dated before?" asked Jesica, "I mean, what was your marriage started with dating like that?" Jesica tried to pin down the meaning of the question.

"Dad who set me up"

"To my guess, it was Papa Adhi who had them betrothed"

"What a pity, you're in a match"

Zia who heard Jesica's words frowned, "You mean?"

"Yes I mean, when we are in a match we do not know much how our previous partner, different if we have been dating, right?, we will know our partner very well"

Zia looked at Jesica who was talking to her, and felt a little dislike for Jesica's words.

"Arga was a friend of my High School, so I knew him" Zia said.

"Oh she's your schoolmate, so you already know her" Jesica nodded her head in understanding Zia's explanation.

"But when he was in college, or when he was working in London, did you know how he was?" jesica asked Zia.

Zia just stared intently at Jesica, for a moment Zia thought how Jesica knew, Arga had studied, and worked in London.

Zia's mind held many questions, and she didn't know the answer. Finally Zia tried to ask him, "As..."

Uncompleted Zia asked the question that was in her mind, her words should stop when she heard someone calling her name. Zia turned her head, and found David calling her.

David walked over to Zia who was sitting with the woman.

"Hai zi" said David.

"Hai vid" Zia replied to David's greeting while smiling

Jesica, who saw David approaching Zia and herself, recalled that he was the man she had met earlier, when she had a fight with Arga. Jesica thought she was just a doctor who accidentally passed by. But Zia knew him.

David also looked at the woman sitting with Zia. He knew, this woman in front of him was the woman who had a fight with Arga earlier. David did not expect that Zia also knew him.

"David, meet this Jesica son of Aunt Lydia, wife of my father" said Zia introduced Jesica to David.

"So he's Zia's half-brother"

"Hi, I'm Jesica" said Jesica extending her hand.

David also received a helping hand from David, "David" he said by name.

"Sit the vid" Zia invited David to sit next to her.

But David was still standing beside Zia, and motionless to sit down.

"Can I talk to you zi?" asked David who was still standing waiting for a reply from Zia.

Zia who went to the cafe with Jesica, felt bad with Jesica. Zia looked at Jesica for a moment.

"I'll go, you can continue talking" Jesica, who noticed that Zia was staring at her, chose to leave, thinking that they both wanted to talk without her.

"Sorry jes" Zia felt bad.

"It's okay, maybe David wants to talk about something important" Jesica said with a smile, glancing at David.

Jesica was just guessing what David was going to talk to Zia about, "Will he say about the photo he saw earlier on Zia, if so, if so, I won't have much trouble telling Zia" inner Jesica smiled.

David, who heard Jesica's words, knew what she meant. David felt that Jesica had another intention of saying that.

"Don't see zi for a long time" David starts his chat with Zia.

Zia, who heard David's words, remembers the last time they met, was when David came to her apartment. There David is angry, knowing that Arga is married to Zia. And when David checked on Zia's father, David was just talking to the doctor and the patient's family.

"Yes" said Zia smiling.

"How are you related to Arga?" David looked at Zia's face.

"We're good"

"So Zia doesn't yet know the matter between Arga and her half-brother"

"Thank God that if you're okay, I can only hope that you're happy" David said heavily.

Zia looked at David for a moment, she still saw David still had a taste for him. And from David's words, Zia felt that David still loved her.

"Thank you Vid, I hope you can be happy too"

"I'll be happy when I see you're happy" David looked into Zia's two eyeballs. David still loves Zia, but all is impossible when he finds out Zia is married. And he could only hope for Zia's happiness.

"meaning?" Zia was confused by the words expressed by David.

"I mean, I'll be happy if you're happy, and I'll be sad if you get hurt"

David remembered the photo he saw earlier, and it would make Zia hurt. But he did not want to tell Zia, because Arga was more entitled to tell her.

"And I won't get hurt" Zia replied firmly.

"I hope so zi, if Arga gets you hurt, I'm the first one to beat him up" David said, laughing.

"You're gonna hit him?" Zia stared intently at David, not liking David's reply.

"Let it be normal" he said, calming Zia down, "You know since childhood we fought a lot, and she hit me a lot, it wouldn't hurt if I hit her now, right?"

Zia simply shrugged her shoulders, responding to David's words.

***

After chatting with David, Zia returned to her father's nursery. While opening the door to her father's ward, Zia sees Adrian there accompanying her father.

Zia turned to look at the father's nursery bed, and Zia's eyes immediately sparkled to find her father was conscious.

"Dad" said Zia saw her father was conscious, and stepped foot over to the father.

"Zi" Adhi stretched out her arms to embrace her son.

Zia hugged her father, and cried. Zia was really happy to see that her father had come to his senses.

"Why crying, dad is fine" Adhi stroked Zia's hair, comforting her daughter.

"I miss Dad" said Zia still sobbing in her father's arms.

"You're married, but you're still spoiled like a child" Adhi smiled at her daughter's behavior.

Zia immediately smashed her lips, as her father was fainting.

"As big as this father's daughter is, she's still a spoiled father's daughter" Adhi pinched Zia's nose.

Zia was happy to see that her father was already smiling, and looked very happy.

For a moment Zia circulated her gaze around the ward, but did not find Lydia and Jesica in the room, only Adrian was there.

"Where is Aunt Lydia?"

Adhi looked at Adrian as if asking for an answer, why Lydia was not in her ward.
