HEART EYES HURT
PROJECT ARKA

Herman rode his motorbike in no direction, he just followed the big road, not turning just a straight path, Herman exhaled many times, holding the tightness in his chest, and then he stopped, Herman looked around, he recognized this path, the path that led to the land that his only son Arka had, he knew, Herman then increased the speed of the motorbike and soon the motor stopped on the ground which was building a 3-story building that was very grand and spacious, Herman only to not believe. Even he was thinking if he was misplaced, but it seemed to be true, because Herman was already poulting right up out of his head the way here.

"Did Arka sell his land to someone else? And it will be in this high-rise building, I better just ask the employees." Murmured Herman then approached the workers who were building the magnificent building.

"Good day sir..." Herman asked the building clerk but looked like the foreman.

"It's noon sir, why sir?" said the foreman.

"Sorry sir yes I just play in, I want to ask, which I know this land has my son Arka, who is being built this magnificent building, I want to ask, what is it selling, sir?" Herman was confused.

"His father Mr Arka? As far as I know, Arka's father was Agam Wijaya." Said the foreman who made pain in Herman's heart.

"Oh I mean my adopted son Arka, I already consider Arka as my son, because there are still relatives sir... " Herman could not admit Arka was his son, because it was Nissa's request, to keep Arka's own good name, to keep her, Nissa is afraid that Arka will be bullied if the audience knows Arka's biological father has gone viral twice for adultery with different women.

"Oh... So sir... This is still the land of Arka sir, and this building also has Ark sir."

"Oh so sir, if you may know what to do sir?"

"This is for the supermarket and cinema sir"

"What?" Herman was startled to scream a little, not expecting his son to make such a big effort. Implied ideas in Herman's head

to use Arka, for his life.

"If Arka becomes a big boss later, I will definitely be splashed money, I will become rich, I can ask anything to my son, even if I do not take care of him, he said, Arka still my biological child hahahahah I don't need to work anymore, and can eat well rich first, can shopping holidays and shopping, expensive clothes," said Herman in his heart.

"Thank you sir, I went first sorry to bother you" said Herman who smiled and immediately left the foreman.

"Who was this sir?" said the assistant foreman saw the person talking to his boss.

"Don't know, he said his adoptive father was Arka. I just do it."

"Cock-smile-smile yourself"

"He had bad intentions. I just told him that this is a business owned by Mr. Arka"

"It could be sir"

"Tar I called Mr. Arka for a report, but I forgot to make a report"

"Say what it is sir"

"It's true that I will call Mr. Arka aja" said the foreman who immediately did his work.

Herman whistled happily at this happy news, Herman even smiled along the memory lane, making the person who saw him become strange, because there was a crazy person carrying a motorcycle.

Herman arrived at his house, he went into the house and his lips increasingly smiled widely at the house was tidy and clean, Herman was back and saw the state of the kitchen that had looked neat as well, dirty dishes and cookware are cleaned.

"It's good that they've done everything I want."

"Mr..... Why did you burn all Nita's stuff?" nita shouted out from her room.

"So your mouth, don't yell at me" said Herman angrily.

"Nita asks to change everything sir, Nita asks for money to buy things that you burn" shouted Nita again did not listen to Herman's words.

"Udah Nita is Enough! do not make your father more angry," said Kokom who came out of his room, because he heard the commotion that occurred in his house.

"Sit down! your real son Kokom, if you can't teach him the right one, I'll teach him to use violence" said Herman who left the two women in his room.

"Where are you going? Don't go yet, sir... PATAAAAKKKK" Nita became increasingly yelling at Herman.

Platkkkk.....

"Heh with a son doesn't know himself! You're here I've been feeding, living well, I've been schooled, but how dare you yell and yell at me in front of my own face!" herman snapped after slapping Nita's cheek hard.

"Pak is enough sir... Don't hit Nita sir, don't hurt Nita Sir! Huhuhuhu" said Kokom crying to see her son hit by her own husband.

"Bad hit Nita. Tega father beat his own son" Lirih Nita.

"Yes horror! You're not my son and I don't want to have a dissident child like you either! ask to replace your things that I have burned, do not miss you, the money you use to buy garbage is the result of stealing, you steal and sell my land. So you two have to replace it at the original price now, if I don't want to put you in jail and one more thing from today onwards you won't get your allowance from me, if you want to have you there, you will, there work...! Don't just be your mother and I in this house, understand you!" herman said after yelling at Nita with his mouth, Herman left them both in his room.

"Mom... Hiks... My cheeks hurt, ma'am...." Nita said crying bitterly while touching her bruised-red face from Herman's slap.

"And I told you Nit, Don't make your father angry, your father's emotions are high, we have to be patient for a while, until what we want later we can get.

"You're here, find a job so good money for yourself first."

"I want to work where Mom...?

"Udah awake! Let's move to the front bench!" kokom said that helped wake Nita up.

"It is very heavy astaghfirullah, your body is small but your weight is rich in elephants"

"Emang mom ever carried an elephant?" nita said as she walked with Kokom to move into the front room.

"Sit down! You haven't eaten yet, have you? We'll eat together first"

"Don't want Mom... Nita is not hungry yet, Nita again sad, Father is now evil with us Mom"

"Mother is also confused by the behavior of your Father lately, I don't know, your father is getting rough, his mouth is also getting sicker."

"When do you want to call Arka Bu? Don't dawdle!" nita whispered quietly for fear that Herman would hear.

"Later wait for the conducive situation first, your Father is hot now, when Arka says the same Father, later our abis is expelled from this house."

"She ma'am if we get out of this house, where are we going to live?"

"Well that's what I thought, now you want to find a job there, so the shopkeeper is also okay, and and beautiful, bring his application letter, if you already have your own money collected, you collect it, do not buy any more, you save, you use your salary. Just for the needs in this house."

"Why is it, Mom? it's my money, so I want to use it or it's not mom's business" said Nita annoyed at her mother's words.

"You're! want the same calculation mom! Want to be stingy with mom, mother's feelings are not good with your dad"

"What the hell is Mom?

"Don't make people upset because of your behavior, anyway you are cool and many times already can make capital and trade out there, so that we are free from your Father, he has changed Nit, Nit, since she knew Nissa gave birth to two very cute twins.

Actually the mother also wanted to have another child, but not pregnant until now." Kokom said sadly.

"Not to be sad. I still have me, Mom..."

"Where if your Father leaves us Nit?"

"Well, it won't be Mom, Father is in love with mother, it's Mom... Don't think about the macem thing ma'am... Anyway we have to do my plan ma'am.I'll find work tomorrow Mom. I'll ask my friends I'll have a vacancy."

"Ia Nit's... You go in the room, you go to sleep."

"Kok sleeping anyway Mom?"

"Well, what else?"

"Look we eat! we both haven't eaten."

"Oh, yes, let's eat!" Kokom and Nita approach the dining table, both of them eating deliciously, and as if they both forget Herman, the side dish that Kokom cooks is spent by Kokom and his son Nita, all that is left is enough rice for 1 plate. With quiet steps Kokom brought the disused dishes he and his son Nita to Kokom wash in the sink.
