Old Love Mates
Accepting yourself

Zia, who had finished her work, saw the watch that was coiled around her wrist. She squinted slightly, why Nia had not entered her room to tell herself that Dave had come. "What Dave hasn't come yet," Inner Zia.

Finally Zia decided to leave her room, and waited for Dave downstairs. But his steps came to a halt in the middle of the stairs he went through. From a distance he sees Dave talking to Nia. Nia who laughed sweetly heard Dave's words.

"It is fitting that he does not call me," murmured Zia smilingly at the sight before her. Zia continued her steps towards the waiting room where there was Dave and Nia.

"Zi," said Nia in shock when Zia had come down from her room. "So I was going to tell you that Dave's here, but.."

"But I forbid, so that you don't rush to finish your work." Dave immediately cut off Nia's words as he was about to explain to Zia.

Zia just smiled meaningfully. He knew that Dave was trying to get close to Nia.

"Come on, I'll take you home." Dave ended their conversation.

"How about we go for a walk first." Zia who thought of the idea, finally chose to take the two of them for a walk. After all, he was very lazy to go home soon, and meet with Arga.

Dave and Nia paused for a moment towards Zia. They both weighed the offer from Zia.

"If I don't mind," said Dave.

Hearing Dave's reply, he stared at Nia. "You?" Ask Zia.

Seeing that Dave had already agreed to Zia's offer, Nia had no choice. "All right."

Finally after the three of them decided to take a walk, the three of them took Dave's car to the nearest mall.

Once they were in the mall, the three of them decided to watch a movie in the cinema. And will connect the streets, after finishing watching.

After arriving at the cinema, the three of them chose to watch a horror film, which had just aired. Actually, Zia is very lazy to watch horror films, because she always imagined ghost scenes that are in the film while sleeping. But when she saw Dave and Nia were excited, Zia had no choice but to watch.

When the theater door opened, the three of them walked inside. Dave handed the ticket to the officer. "How many people?" Ask the cinema.

"Four," answered Dave.

"Aren't we three Dave?" Zia who was astonished by Dave's answer asked.

But Dave had not yet answered, heard someone's voice. "I'm sorry I'm late" said someone who had just arrived.

Zia, Nia, and Dave turned their heads when they heard someone's voice. And found Arga, who with a breath of sternness approached them. It was obvious from Arga's irregular breathing, that he had just been running towards this cinema.

In Zia's heart, she felt really upset, when Dave did not tell her that Arga was also watching a movie with them. Zia just stared lazily at Arga, and turned her gaze in another direction afterwards.

"Let's go in." Dave shakes Zia's surprise at Arga's arrival.

Without lingering Zia stepped behind Dave, and left Arga who was walking right behind him. Arriving inside, Dave tells Zia and Arga's seat.

"Why apart?" Zia asked, as she looked at her seat, far away from Dave and Nia's.

"So it's just zi left" said Dave.

Zia circulated her gaze, and found that it was indeed a full audience seat, as this was the premiere of the movie she was watching. Finally Zia had no other choice but to sit in the place that Dave had told her about.

Zia's sense of smell, which felt the fragrance of Arga's perfume up close, looked back. And rightly guessed, that Arga was right behind him. His sense of regret instantly encompassed his heart. But he had no other choice but to continue in search of his seat number.

After finding her seat, Zia directly sat her body. And right after Zia sat down, Arga sat down next to her. As she sat down, Zia heard Arga's still-irregular breathing, signifying how tired Arga was after running. Without saying anything, Zia gave the drink she bought earlier before entering the theater.

Getting a drink from Zia, Arga drew a smile on the tip of her lips. It doesn't feel wrong to him, go after Zia, if he gets attention from Zia. He who was almost at the apartment, got word from Dave, if Zia invited Dave and Nia for a walk.

"Thank you" said Arga while receiving a drink from Zia. His dry throat from running, immediately felt relief as the water passed through his throat shaft.

When the film starts, the tension is felt, because the film features a ghost scene. The frightened Zia immediately hid her face to the side, where Arga was sitting. "Is the ghost still there?" Ask Zia lirih.

Arga who saw Zia was terrified, laughed inwardly. As she expected Zia would be frightened, and hide. It doesn't feel wrong to ask Dave to choose a horror movie. "No, not yet" he replied to Zia.

As the ghostly voice rang out to Zia, it involuntarily made her hide on Arga's shoulder, while covering her ears. Arga who saw Zia scared helped Zia close her ears, so that Zia would not hear a scary sound for her.

Several times Zia peeked at the movie she was watching, but several times also she hid her face on Arga's shoulder. Arga did not spare any opportunity to appease Zia. Zia's body that was close to his body, slightly treated his longing. It felt like he wanted to hug Zia. But he realized, it would make Zia uncomfortable in public places.

Until the movie was over, Zia really did not enjoy the movie she was watching. In her heart, she condemns her mistake in accepting Dave and Nia's idea of watching a horror movie. He hopes that later tonight, he will be able to sleep without the shadow of ghosts in the film he saw.

When the film is finished, Zia also just realized that she was from earlier adjacent to Arga. Zia hastily re-energized her body, and put a silent mode on Arga. He who is still upset can not act ordinary to Arga.

Arga who saw Zia's attitude knew that the woman beside him was still upset with her.

After they Zia, Arga, Dave and Nia finished watching, they decided to eat first. Throughout the meal, Nia and Dave recount the movie they were watching. Sometimes Arga also chimed in comments about the film they had just watched.

Hearing Arga, Dave and Nia tell a story, Zia could only shut up. I don't think he understands what the three of them are saying. How he can understand, if he keeps hiding, throughout the film.

After they finished eating, they decided to go home. Because the time has shown at 10.

"Zi, you go home with Arga huh. Because I'm going to drop Nia off" Dave told Zia.

It feels like Zia is really lazy to have to go home with Arga. But he couldn't possibly refuse. "All right."

After the four of them walked towards the parking lot, they separated as they headed for their respective cars. Zia who came home with Arga chose to follow behind Arga.

"When will you be angry with me?" Tanya Arga broke the silence in the car.

Zia sighed, looking deeper into her heart. Actually the anger was no longer there, since Jesica said the incident was his fault. But his disappointment and regret have not disappeared completely.

"With your silence I feel very tormented. Don't be in law for too long."

'

"I don't know how I feel. I'm too disappointed in you. And seeing a picture of yourself with another woman, makes my heart ache."

"Zi, I know I was wrong in the past, but don't you want to make me better in the future. If you always blame my past, how can I rise up and improve my future."

Zia just kept quiet and said nothing. He confirmed all Arga's words, but his mouth seemed locked, unable to answer.

Arga who saw Zia was silent, could only give up. He really could not force Zia to accept him. "If you still want to accept me, accept me with my past. But if you can't accept me, I can't force you to accept." Arga who had just arrived at the apartment parking lot, opened his seatbelt, and got out of the car.

Zia who heard Arga's words gasped. He only thinks selfish of himself who does not accept Arga with his past.If he can forgive Jesica, and accept what Jesica did, why is it difficult to forgive Arga. Though he knew, how much love Arga to him.

Seeing that Arga had gotten out of the car, Zia also came down. Stepping on Arga, towards his apartment.

"Ar," call Zia when they've just entered the apartment.

Arga who had just put the car keys in the drawer, turned her head when Zia called out to him. Arga looked at the brown eyeballs that were like Zia's walnuts, and Zia looked closely at her husband. For a moment, their eyes clashed and locked onto each other. A look full of love, and longing is clearly visible from Zia and Arga.

"I accept you with all your past. And I want to erase all your past stories and replace them with our future." Unstoppable tears flowed down Zia's cheeks. He who loved Arga so much, could not choose to leave Arga.

Hearing Zia's words, Arga immediately hugged Zia. "Thank you zi" said Arga. Arga who had resigned, because Zia could not accept it, was happy when Zia said she would accept it. Arga could only kiss Zia's cheek and repeatedly say thank you.
