ALINEA LOVE

34

The sun has not yet risen to the contest, but a sense of sultry was felt when a middle-aged couple who used to live in a cold city just stepped out of the door of the Soekarno Hatta Airport domestic arrival terminal.

Hiko and Ruby accidentally did not tell Almeer or relatives in Jakarta, so they went straight to the airport taxi parked.

"Sir, to this address yes." Hiko showed her phone screen to the taxi driver.

Once it was clear the address, the driver nodded, "Well, sir. Please."

Hiko and Ruby immediately enter and the taxi immediately departs to the first destination of Hiko and Ruby, the family home of Sora.

Anxiety and uneasiness enveloped Ruby's mind during the trip. Istighfar repeatedly recited it from his lips but his hands were still sweating coldly.

Taking the journey from the toll, nearly an hour they finally reached the Sky residence. They have to be more patient when they have to do a question and answer first with a security guard. After the security guard confirmed into the house and got approval to receive guests, then the taxi reappeared his vehicle to the front door of the main house.

There is seen Dusk and Erni who just came out of the main door of her house to welcome the arrival of the guest.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Miss Ruby." Dusk approached the new Ruby after getting off the taxi.

"Wa'alaikumsalam, Miss Dusk."

The two women shook hands and hugged for a moment. Not to forget Dusk also greeted Hiko.

"I'm sorry we came here without telling you first, Mrs Dusk." Hiko.

"It's okay, sir. Come on, come on in." Take the twilight, he leads the way to the living room of his house.

Just when they were already in the living room, the Sky came out of his study.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Mr. Hiko, Mr. Ruby." As for Heaven, he approached Hiko and shook hands.

"Wa'alaikumsalam, Mr. Sky." Hiko welcomed the Sky's hand, "How are you, sir?"

"Alhamdullillah, fine sir. Let's sit down.., please...,"

Sky invites Hiko to sit, as well as Dusk which also invites Ruby to sit.

"I understand the purpose of your arrival here must be because of my treatment of your son yesterday." The sky does not want to talk.

"Yes, Sir. Here I want to straighten something out."

The sky nodded with its flat face.

"Wouldn't it be too cruel if you rejected Almeer's sermon on Sora just because of my mass? my son is innocent of this, sir." Hiko.

"I don't blame your son, Mr. Hiko. But anyone will know your mass scandal then. And few know that Almeer is your son. Everyone will gossip about my daughter, even there will be many blasphemies that she receives. I just want to protect my daughter, Mr. Hiko."

"They love each other, Mr. Sky. Isn't that more important?"

The sky shook his head, "The house is not just love, Mr. Hiko." The sky smiled faintly, "There are still many other reasons that make me hesitate in handing over my daughter to your son."

"Financial?" guess Hiko, her eyes turned cold.

Closing his eyes for a moment, Sky nodded his head as leisurely as possible. "That's one of them, too, sir. It's not my intention to demean your son, I'm just afraid that he'll feel overwhelmed by my daughter's lifestyle."

"Father!!" Half shouting, Sora went down the stairs and ran small to the living room sofa.

"Please don't be like this, Pa." Pinta Sora, she doesn't want Almeer's parents hurt.

"Go back to your room, Sora." Pinta Sky.

"Mas..," Dusk tried to soften her husband's heart.

"You certainly know who my family and my wife's family are, it's not difficult for you to investigate us. Have you ever wondered why my son lives that simple?"

The sky was silent, for him it was not a question to be answered.

"He knows who he is, sir. He is different from his brother who is my brother. He just wanted to stand on his own feet because he had no inheritance over me" explained Hiko, "Although I definitely still give it." Hiko.

"Assalamu'alaikum...,"

"Needles...,"

All attention was on the man who was standing in front of the entrance to the living room of the Sky House.

"Falme!!" Pekik Ruby found her son standing there with a worried face.

Almeer went into the house, he approached his father and mother and kissed their hands. Not to forget he also kissed the hand of Heaven and gave greetings to Dusk.

"Why did you come here, son?" ask Ruby.

"Meera said that Papa and Mama went to see Mr. Sky, Ma." Answer Almeer. "Why should Papa and Mama come here without telling Al?"

"We have to get things straight, Al." Said Hiko

"No need to be straightened out, Mr. Hiko." Heaven, Hiko and Ruby's attention was back on him. "My decision will not change, I will still marry my daughter to a man I have known for a long time."

"Papaaaa.., Sora doesn't love Aga." Sora complained, his eyes began to glaze over, cultivating tears that only one blink would surely fall soaking down his cheeks.

Dusk approached his daughter and hugged her.

"Can't you give my son a chance, Mr Sky?" pinta Ruby is full of hope.

"Maa..," Almeer refused to make his mother lower her pride just for her sake.

Ruby smiled at her son not to get into her parents' conversation. Then he looked at the sky.

"My son is not rich, sir. But, even in his life, he never hurt us both. He's a responsible child..," Ruby's hoarse voice at the end of the word held back tears.

Hiko clasped his wife's hand so as not to continue his sentence. Almeer immediately sat down beside his mother and grabbed his mother's shoulder. "I'm sorry Al, Ma." Whispers watered.

Ruby smiled at Almeer and nodded, a drop of her tears falling down her cheeks.

Almeer swiftly wiped the tears gently. His heart was also hurt when he saw his parents had to beg others for their interests.

"If you have any doubts about his responsibilities, please give him a chance. I will not explain to you who our son is, for surely what comes out of our mouth is his kindness alone. You can spend a little time talking to him. You can judge for yourself how my son's true nature is." Hiko.

"Paa.., please give Almeer a chance. Papa should know her too." Persuade Sora.

The silent sky did not answer, he still looked coldly at Almeer who was embracing Ruby's shoulder.

"Sir Sky, not that I feel more than you, nor do I want to patronize you. But marriage is the longest worship of our lives, sir. If it is not based on love, it is not a reward that will be obtained, but sin because of mutual torment and torment. And wouldn't your daughter's happiness be your happiness too, sir?" Hiko again.

This time the sky could not refute Hiko's words. Although his mouth could be evasive, but his heart still confirmed it. He looked at his daughter and wife who were looking at him expectantly.

The sky straightened its seat, sighing long after doing a small debate in his mind. He looked at Almeer, his gaze not as cold as before.

"I'll give you a chance." - Sky.

"Alhamdullillah....,"

Ruby looked at her son and rubbed his son's cheeks, a wide smile blooming over their lips.

"I want to put forward the conditions you must meet." The Sky on Almeer.

"Yes, Sir? God will fill me." Almeer.

"I gave you two months. If your efforts can produce three hundred million in a month, I'll rethink making you my daughter's husband."

"Father!!"

"Boy!! isn't that outrageous?" Dusk approached her husband, "You can't make such a requirement."

"Yes, Mr. Sky. I think your requirements are too heavy. It's the same way you're rejecting my son in another way." Hiko Protests.

"Usaha Almeer has only been running and there hasn't been a year, Mr. Sky." Add Ruby.

Sora approached her papa, "Pa, please don't make things difficult for Almeer." Sora Whine.

The sky ignored the protests by those around him. He did not take his eyes off the young man who seemed to be downcast thinking about his requirements.

Almeer raised his head, looked at the sky for a moment and then changed to look at his father and mother. He could see if both parents had desperately accepted the requirements proposed by the legal guardian of the woman he loved.

Almeer nodded slowly, telling his parents he would. Hiko and Ruby were only willing to follow their son's will.

Almeer looked back at Sky who was waiting for an answer from him, "Bismilbornrahmannirrahiim, I accept the terms from you, sir." Almeer said with conviction.

"Al!" Sora screeched full of objections.

Almeer just smiled gently to reassure Sora if she could do it.

"Well, at the end of October I'm waiting for the results." Sky Words.

"Good, sir."

"From today you will be busy, I hope you two don't communicate too much." Sky Pinta on Almeer and Sora.

"Pa, don't limit us to communication." Pinta Sora's.

"Almeer will be busy taking care of his business, you will only bother him if you keep contacting him. Right, Al?" The sky was staring at Almeer. Not asking, rather threatening.

Almeer nodded heavily. He did not have the courage to deny the will of the man who was holding his ace.

The discussion of the two families did not last long, Hiko immediately said goodbye after getting a solution that each party had agreed.

***

"Are you sure of the decision you made, Al?" Ruby who was sitting in the back of the car driven by Almeer still looks restless with the decision of her son.

"Papa can help you, Al." Add Hiko who is sitting next to Almeer's left.

"Thank you, Ma, Pa." Almeer looked at the reflection of his mother's face on the rearview mirror above him for a moment then changed to look at his papa.

"Thanks to Papa and Mama's help, Mr. Sky wanted to give Al a chance. Although the conditions are quite heavy." Almeer said as he continued to focus on controlling the steering wheel of the car.

"It's Papa's fault, you have to be this complicated to get the woman you love." Hiko.

"It's God's destiny, Pa. Al can only pray, try and strive. The important thing is Al ngantongin blessing from Papa and Mama. God willing, God will give his blessing to Al."

Hiko patted her son's left shoulder, "Papa is proud of you, son. Papa will help promote your efforts."

Almeer shook his head, "Thank you for the offer, Pa. But please let Al try for himself. Al also wants to measure Al's ability, Pa."

Hiko nodded, appreciating her son's decision.

"Yota are you ready to stay, Al?" ask Ruby.

"God willing, Ma. Oom Abriz will also definitely ngawasin his son." Almeer replied, "Maafin Al yes, Ma. Al can't handle Mama and Oom Abriz's company."

"Yes, Son. Mama knows your wish."

"If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask us for help, Al." Added Hiko.

Almeer nodded and smiled at Hiko, then refocused on riding.

***

A garden behind the house became a place where Sora calmed down. He sat on a chair with a white iron material, protected by the shade of a catapult tree. His gaze was straight staring at the blue water pool of his home which was far in front of him. The wind made the pool water oscillate small and the sound of friction of the trees around it makes a calm effect for the soul and mind that are chaotic.

Sora was still thinking about the requirements made by his papa for Almeer. That is very unreasonable considering that he heard yesterday the business that Almeer is building is only a small company that has an income of no more than thirty million per month. How can it be in two months time to increase tenfold?

His father was not giving Almeer a chance, his father just wanted Almeer to give up slowly.

"Miss...,"

Sora's daydream came to a halt as Aga's voice called out his name, he stared towards the voice. The man who was still wearing the long-sleeved white shirt had just sat next to him.

"Hm?" sora Sahut.

"The great master told me to resign Actmedia, Miss."

"Huh!?" Sora's eyes widened, "Why!?"

"The big master knows if I have two property companies." Aga replied, he lowered his lips because he regretted not telling the heavens the truth.

"Seriously, Ga?" Sora poked Aga on the shoulder, making the man endure a slight pain.

Aga nodded, "The Great Master told me to focus on my own company."

"Ciyeee, so the CEO now..," Goda Sora with her nosy face.

Just a little smile.

"Kereen kereeen! I salute you, Ga! Diem-diem you're an accomplished businessman." Sora said with a twinkle of admiration in his eyes. "It turns out yesterday that papa called you that you were? what do I think I'm doing...,"

"The great lord also asked for my help, Miss." Said Aga.

"What help?" ask Sora.

"He wants me to be your husband, Miss."

The smile on Sora's face disappeared instantly, he shifted his gaze and returned straight to look ahead.

"What's your answer?" ask Sora.

"I'm leaving Actmedia today, Miss."

"So fast?" Sora looked at Aga back.

Aga nodded, "Today is the last day I consider you to be my master, Miss. If we meet again after today, I will consider you a woman..." Said Aga, "The woman I love." Aga looked at Sora, the ever-cold look in his eyes turned soft.

Sora was speechless hearing Aga's continuation of the sentence. Silent and Sora's body was hard to move. This is different, very different from the statement of love Aga when in Jogjakarta at that time.

"Yahooooaah!!" Sora tried to control himself, "My hair is goosebumps, Ga!" Sora rubbed both of his arms.

Aga looked at Sora with those sharp eyes, "If Almeer struggles to obtain the blessing of the great lord, then I will fight to get your love, Miss."
