Ariana For Rangga

Episode Thirteen

"Son Donny, I'm sorry.. It looks like Arin again can not be disturbed first, because there are many tasks he said."

Grandma said as she approached Donny who was playing chess with her husband in the living room.

"What's wrong, Grandma, I just want to make sure Arin gets home safely. Since yesterday, Arin had no news. But after I found out Arin was home, I calmed down."

Donny replied with a sincere smile.

"Silver mat! Grandpa lost again.."

Donny laughed with excitement for successfully defeating grandfather for the third time.

"Not to lose, grandfather deliberately gave up. As the saying goes, the old must succumb to the younger."

Grandpa dodged.

The sound of laughter Donny and grandfather sounded to Arin's ears, making his heart feel more tight and bitter.

How could he leave such a nice guy. Donny is willing to accept and love her sincerely, even though he knows who and how Arin lives. He doesn't care about that at all. Even during this time Donny who has given spirit to Arin, guarding and protecting him. Although many people insulted and demeaned his mother, Donny was the one who stood by her side and assured her that she was not alone.

"Hey young man, so when are you going to prove your seriousness to grandpa's granddaughter?"

Grandpa's question made Donny stunned.

In his heart, of course, he was eager to immediately question the woman he loved so much. But sometimes reality does not match expectations.

Her parents, it became the reason why she could not immediately ask Arin. Especially her mother, who is blatantly against their relationship just because Arin is the daughter of Wulan Ayu Ningsih, a beauty influencer who is currently in the public months.

"What are you thinking now? Didn't you tell Grandpa that you loved Arin and were planning to marry her? Or have you changed your mind?"

Donny gasped and reflexed outright in denial.

"Son, it's not so cake. Of course I really want to marry Arin. And I don't think about changing my mind. Since long ago, until now only Arin was the only woman I wanted to make a wife. Please trust me cake, I will soon ask Arin to be my wife. But I have to finish some important things first. Once all the problems are over, I'll bring my family to Arin's hand. After all, Arin was also not ready to marry cake. Arin asked me to hold off, at least until she graduated college."

Answer Donny steadily.

"Grandfather believes in you. Grandpa only expects the best for granddaughter's happiness. Please take care of Arin. He has been having a lot of trouble all along. He looks fine, but he's not really okay. Grandfather hopes that you can be a backstop for Arin and stay by his side under any circumstances."

Grandpa patted Donny's shoulder gently.

"God willing cake. I'll try to make Arin happy, and look after Arin."

Answer Donny.

Secretly Arin eavesdropped on Donny and his grandfather.

Arin returned to his room with an increasingly broken feeling.

"Yes Allah.. How could I possibly be able to leave a man as good and sincere as Donny's bang."

Arin cries sobbing, hugging the huge panda doll Donny once gave her as her birthday present.

-------

"Grandpa, Grandma, someone wants Arin to talk to Grandpa and Grandma."

That night after the prayer, Arin approached his grandparents who were sitting in the living room watching television.

"What's Rin?"

Ask grandma while shrinking the volume of the tv with the remote.

Arin looked very hopeful.

Grandpa and Grandma looked at each other.

"Arin, instead of grandpa and grandma don't allow it. But you know for yourself how hard your father's attitude is. You come home five minutes late, he's been messing around, especially if he finds out you're not home. It could be grandparents who are the target of your father's anger. Just a few days ago your father was so angry, don't make him so angry with Arin."

Grandfather reminded.

"Please cake.. I rarely come home anyway, I won't know."

Arin tried to convince.

"Arin, you don't have to work that hard. Focus on your college. After all, the money your father gives you every month is more than enough, not to mention Ardan's money and grandfather's pension. Our family doesn't lack Arin's money."

Grandma's speech.

"Grandfather, Grandma, Arin just wants to learn independently like Ardan's brother. Arin doesn't want to keep putting life on even if it's on dad."

"Where's sir?"

Ask her husband.

"Yes, you can go. But on condition, you have to take good care of yourself. Don't forget to send the location of your existence, and if there's anything you should immediately notify grandfather."

"Ready General.."

Arin replied with a smile.

Despite his old age, Arin's grandfather was a veteran of the Army TNI and last held the post of a high-ranking officer with the rank of Lieutenant General.

After talking and chatting with her grandparents, Arin returned to her room that night with mixed feelings.

"Grandpa, grandma, Arin, I'm sorry. Arin lied to grandparents. Please forgive Arin."

Arin muttered while sobbing in his room.

Since this afternoon Arin's phone has been ringing incessantly, but the girl ignored him. He's not ready, even if it's just to reply to a message from Donny.

He decided to deactivate his phone for a while.

------

"Wheel.. What exactly happened to you?

For some reason, brother feels lately you're shying away from brother."

Donny muttered as he threw his phone on the bed.

After days of no news from the girl he loves, Donny catches up with him to make sure he is. The girl looked fine, but not with her heart.

Donny threw his tired body on the bed and tried to close his eyes.

Not only his body, but his soul was much more tired. If only he could, it was like he was taking his girl away. He wants to break all ties and start a new life freely, with the person he loves without caring about others.

"Mama.. Why is it so hard for my mom to understand. Donny just loves Arin, just him. Why did you blame Arin, even everything that happened was not his fault. Why is mom so selfish.."

Mumbled wailing.
