Ariana For Rangga

Episode Twenty

At nine in the morning, Arin prepared to leave. One of the hotel maids just a moment ago had already delivered some of the items he needed.

Arin promised to meet Donny in Ancol that morning. Of course, to finish what he had to finish.

After changing clothes and breakfast at the hotel caffeteria, Arin rushed away using the services of an online motorcycle taxi that would deliver him to his destination.

At eleven o'clock in the afternoon, Arin finally arrived in Ancol and met with Donny who had arrived early.

"Arin, why don't you pick me up? After all brother also passed through the area of Arin's house right, we can go together earlier."

Donny.

His face looked anxious, I don't know how long they had been away. Donny feels Arin is changing, like he's been deliberately avoiding her lately.

"Abang, let's go on a ride. Remember, we used to really want to ride a roller coaster but the officer does not allow it because Arin is less high."

"That's Arin who wants to, until cry everything because he can not enter the same officer. Hard to know brother Ardan persuaded Arin at that time."

answer Donny.

They went back in time a few years. At that time, seven-year-old Arin seemed very enthusiastic to try a roller coaster ride. He pulls Ardan and Donny's hand to follow him.

Just felt happy because he would try extreme rides, but Arin's hopes must be dashed because his height does not reach the minimum requirements to be able to ride the challenging rides.

Arin cries, leaving Ardan and Donny confused to persuade him to stop crying. Even Donny's nanny who was accompanying them to play in Ancol persuaded Arin but to no avail.

"Arin, later if Arin has become higher brother promises to bring Arin to ride this vehicle as much as Arin wants."

Donny said at the time.

"Dream promises?"

Arin looked at Donny expectantly.

"Yes, my promise. A few more years after Arin's higher brother will take Arin to ride whatever rides Arin wants as much."

Reply Donny steadily.

"Okay, Arin keeps my brother's promise. If Arin is already higher Arin will definitely bill brother's promise."

And finally little Arin stopped crying.

"Because I promised, today my brother will keep it. Arin can ride whatever rides Arin wants, as much as possible. Brother will accompany Arin."

Donny.

"You come on, Arin can't wait to try the roller coaster."

Arin said enthusiastically.

-----

I don't know how many extreme rides they tried, and Arin was content to shout out all the tightness stored in the chest.

True said people, shouting is one powerful way to relieve feelings.

"Again hungry? Let's eat, this time Arin wants to eat at Arin's favorite place first. You remember, right?"

"Every princess, today my brother will follow whatever Arin asks."

Donny said brags

"Dream promises?"

Arin Pinta.

"Yes, my promise.."

Answer Donny.

"Okay, because you promised whatever Arin asked you today you have to say yes.."

Arin.

Donny glanced at his watch.

"The time limit is only until twelve o'clock. Before twelve o'clock tonight, brother will be the master of the jinn who is ready to give Arin whatever he asks. As long as Arin does not ask for anything beyond reason. Because brother's not a real genie."

"Well, lord Jin, now Arin wants to eat in Mekdi. Can master genie take Arin there?"

Pinta Arin in a spoiled style.

"Of course, with pleasure, princess. But we're not riding the tapestry, because the master genie's tapestry is still in the laundry."

Donny replied following Arin's play.

"Come on."

Arin said enthusiastically.

After lunch at Mekdi, this time Arin asks Donny to take him to the mall. They used to go to the mall often, not to shop of course. But to play some of the games they often play in Timezone.

Satisfied playing in Timezone, this time Arin asks Donny to take him to one of his favorite ice cream outlets first. They really are like being on a trail, repeating things they used to do often. Arin seemed very happy, for a moment he seemed to forget all the burdens in his heart and mind.

Time continued, day changed and night began to approach.

"Arin, can you take Arin somewhere?"

Donny asked when they were in the car.

"Where?"

Ask Arin.

"To one place, which we used to visit most often. Brother has a surprise for Arin."

"Surprise?"

Arin looked curious.

"Yup, Arin will see."

Finally they arrived at a park located not far from where they used to live, before Arin's mother decided to move.

"What a long time ago, a lot has changed in this park."

Said Arin who looked amazed.

The small garden was decorated with flickering lights, making the atmosphere look romantic. And unexpectedly, Donny also decorated the park bench that used to be Arin's favorite seat when they played drama and Arin became his queen.

"Even you remember something this small?"

Arin looked amazed.

"Abang always remembers anything about Arin, what Arin likes, what Arin doesn't like, everything."

Answer Donny.

Seeing everything Donny has done for her, Arin feels very guilty. Donny is a very nice guy, and of course Arin loves him.

But Arin realized that he was not worthy of a man as good as Donny.

Suddenly Donny crouched down in front of Arin, while thrusting a ring box.

"Daughter, marry me. I'm willing to be the knight who will protect you for the rest of my life, love you and make you the happiest queen."

Arin was so shocked, that he even lost his word. His heart felt sliced, sick, tight, that was how he felt now.

Being proposed to by a loved one is certainly the happiest moment for a woman.

Not with Arin. Even though he was desperate, it was impossible for him to accept Donny's proposal.

He promised Aunt Retno he'd let Donny go. He's gonna back off. But now, how would he do it?

"Arin, this time brother is really serious. Brother is not playing drama like we used to do. Brother really wants to marry Arin, brother wants Arin to be a companion to life brother, mother of our children later. Arin knows, all this time my brother loved Arin, since long ago. Brother is not a perfect man, but brother will try to make Arin happy. We will create beautiful moments, and always will be until we age together. Ariana Dahlia, is Arin willing to spend the rest of her life happy with her brother?"

Donny's face looked hopeful.

Arin was stunned, his tears could no longer be contained.

Not the tears of joy or happiness, but the tears of helplessness and guilt.
