Ariana For Rangga

Episode Twenty Eight

"Rangga, papa, I'm sorry. All this time papa can not defend you, and let your mother who is in control. But if you don't want it this time, papa will try to persuade you."

"It's pa, it's no use."

Answer Rangga flat.

"Ladders..

Marriage is not a game. It takes a strong commitment as its foundation. How can you commit, with someone who is not even known. To be honest, papa did expect Amelia to be the daughter-in-law in this house. But papa doesn't want to sacrifice your happiness. Just tell me if you don't want it, we'll try to persuade your mama."

"Do you know how your mother behaves.."

Rangga.

"But we have to try. Papa will help you to convince your mama."

Say Mr. Bayu while patting Rangga's shoulder.

"Arin, can you ask me something?"

That night Arin was gathered in the family room with his grandparents after dinner.

"Yes, what do you want to ask?"

Ask Arin.

"Arin, grandfather didn't mean to accuse you, or anything but please answer grandfather honestly, are you really borrowing money from your mother?"

Arin bowed lethargic, feeling guilty. But he also did not suspect that his father knew about it.

"Maybe you're wondering how your father found out. Your mother called your father this afternoon. He was angry at your father, and accused your father of irresponsibility. He thought we abandoned you, so you had to borrow money. Your mother said next week she'd pick you up and take you to live with her."

Arin was shocked. So this is why his father was so angry today. His mother had mistaken him and thought that his father had abandoned Arin. It was his fault, because he did not have time to explain the truth to his mother because he was very upset.

"Grandfather, Arin's sorry. Because of Arin, I misunderstood Dad. Arin was really scared of cake.. Om Darma, Bimo's father must be referred to a hospital in the city of Medan and perform a ring installation operation in the heart area. Its operating costs were huge, whereas Bimo was only able to meet half of it. At that time we were all worried, while Irfan and Hadi also did not have enough savings to help Bimo, as well as Arin. And Arin thought the only solution to get that kind of money in such a short period of time was from mom. So Arin called mom, and Arin borrowed money from mom for seventy million."

"Wheel.. Why didn't you tell your grandfather or your father?"

"Arin couldn't ask dad to cake, while grandpa knew for himself how he'd been treating Arin."

"Arin, listen to grandpa. Your father loves you very much. What do you think he's been working so hard for day and night that he rarely even comes home, if not for you and Ardan?"

"Arin knows cake. Arin is wrong. Tomorrow Arin will meet father, Arin will apologize to father because Arin has made a big misunderstanding of mother and father. Arin will explain everything, and so will mom."

"Jas. Tomorrow let grandfather accompany you to see your father."

-------

"Would you like to come here? If you intend to leave, it is not necessary. Go awayl. Dad won't stand in your way. After all, it might be better if you stay with your mother who is able to give you what you want. At least, you can enjoy a luxurious life with your mother."

Said Arin's father flatly.

"Dad, Arin's sorry.. Arin is wrong. Arin who has made me the same father misunderstood.. Arin's really sorry.."

Arin cried and knelt before his father while hugging his father's feet.

"What are you doing? Dad, get him out of here!"

"Lied you!"

Hardik Arin's father while throwing Arin and took a few steps back.

"Arin swore father's oath, Arin didn't lie. Bimo's father had to be referred to a hospital in the city of Medan to perform Ring installation surgery in his heart area. If you don't believe me, Arin can take you there."

Arin was still kneeling and sobbing, until it became a spectacle of some employees in the workshop owned by his father.

"Go! Get the fuck out of here..!!"

"Malik, what are you doing? Your daughter came here to apologize and straighten out her problems, but you kicked her out instead? What kind of father are you!"

Grandpa confronted Malik, Arin's father.

"Dad, get him out of here now. I don't want this to be a crowd spectacle. People will say I'm a cruel father. Go quickly!"

"Arin, let's get out of here. There's no point in us talking to your father. His heart has become stone!"

Grandfather pulled Arin's hand which was still crying, then took her away.

Arina.. Forgive dad.

Mr. Malik's mind while staring at the back of his father and daughter who had gone away with a pushy gaze.

"Grandfather.. Why is dad so angry with Arin.. Is it so great that Arin's fault that I'm not willing to accept Arin's apology?"

Along the way Arin cried bitterly.

"Arin, your father is still emotional. Better let him calm down first. Grandpa was sure once his mind calmed down, he would be fine."

Grandpa replied while calming Arin down.

"Grandfather.. Do you really want Arin to leave? Did you really throw Arin out?"

"He has no right to expel you, there are still grandparents who will always accept you. Don't think. After all, you are an adult, you have the right to make your own choices. But one thing you should know, grandparents are your home. Even if the world drives you away, you still have a home to go home to."

"Love cake.. All this time only Grandpa, grandma and bang Ardan cared about Arin."

"Of course, because you are the favorite granddaughter of grandfather and grandmother and Ardan's favorite sister."

Grandpa answered while rubbing Arin's head.

"Look, there's a cotton candy merchant.."

Grandpa said as he pointed out through the window of his car.

Grandpa pulled the car over, then took Arin out.

It was the garden they used to visit, every time his father took them home to their grandparents. Many wonderful memories in this park, including cotton candy.

Grandpa bought two stalks of cotton confectionery, one of which was given to Arin who was sitting on a park bench.

"You remember, you used to ask your father to buy you these confectionery. Your mother always forbade it, for fear that your teeth would break. But your father secretly took you to this park with Ardan to buy confectionery."

Arin smiled bitterly. Of course he remembered everything, every piece of memory was re-played in his mind like a movie.
