Ariana For Rangga

Episode Forty Eight

"So that girl is Wulan Ayu's son, your mama's friend?"

Doctor Bayu looked at his son sharply.

"That's what his father said Pa. Rangga really did not expect that Arin had been living a very complicated life. And about his status, Rangga himself honestly did not bother. No matter what the background is, it's not Arin's fault."

Reply Rangga.

That night Rangga told Dr Bayu everything, his father.

Doctor Bayu sighed deeply.

"Rangga, Papa hope you know what you have to do. Better to act wisely. You know his mother is a known person, plus the background of his life. Are you ready to face this? Because it's not just you, but Papa and Mama will be in the spotlight."

"The people understand Pa. But Rangga was completely convinced by Rangga's choice. Rangga hope Papa and Mama also understand the choice of Rangga."

"You better talk about this with your mom. You know, the topic about you and the girl is being talked about in the hospital. If until Mama you hear it from others especially if she knows the background of the girl, Papa is afraid that later Mama you will misunderstand."

Advice from Doctor Bayu.

"Yes Pa, but Rangga is not ready to tell Mama. What if my mom doesn't approve? Rangga was afraid that Mama would oppose Rangga's wishes this time."

"Rangga, Papa is sure your Mama can react to it wisely. Papa will help you talk to Mama."

"Thank you Pa."

Reply Rangga.

"You're not coming home?"

Ask Doctor Bayu when he sees Rangga wearing his white coat.

"Doctor Nisa is not well Pa, so Rangga thought Rangga should stay here to help Doctor Nisa."

Rangga replied lying.

"Alright, then Papa will come home now. If you feel ready, talk to your mom as soon as possible."

Doctor Bayu came out of Rangga's room.

This is the first time Rangga is very strong against his wishes. Hopefully he doesn't make rash decisions.

Inner Doctor Bayu.

 

 

Meanwhile, somewhere else...

"Just pick her up you can't? Isn't she your daughter? Look, I don't want to hear any excuses. Bring Arin here, or I'll ruin the career you've built so hard!"

A man in his forties looked very windy. That man is Fakhrul, Ariana's real father.

"I've been trying to bring her even to force her, but she refuses to come with me."

The woman in front of him was crying.

"He rejected you? What is this bullshit? you think I believe? How could a child reject his own mother and prefer someone else who has no blood relation to her?! Don't trick me again Wulan!"

Hardenkan man sounded very loud, to the surprise of the people around him.

"I swear Fahrul, he really rejected me and preferred to stay with Malik and his family. Fahrul, please forgive me.."

"How do you think he's going to accept a child from an ex-wife with his affair? Will he love my son like he loves his son? Think with your common sense! If I were in Malik's position I would definitely take revenge. I would even make the girl suffer at any moment so that she would also feel the pain I felt. Didn't you think about that? How could you easily hand him over to someone else and not to me?! I'm his father!!"

The man's anger grew more inflamed, making the wulan shudder even more to look at him.

"Now you are back in Indonesia, and bring Arin back to this house. I don't care how. If you can't take him, I'll completely ruin your career."

The man turned around, leaving Wulan who was still sobbing.

 

Mr. Malik approached Arin who was sitting on the sofa waiting for Grandpa who was asleep. Ardan has been back since this afternoon with his grandmother and wife, because he had to help his father take care of the workshop. As long as Grandpa was cared for, they took turns to look after Grandpa. Only Arin is always here, because of his guilt for Grandpa who is still lying down.

Arin came out of the grandfather's room, followed his father to one of the benches in the hospital corridor.

"What's the matter, Dad?"

Arin asked after sitting next to his father, just a single empty bench.

"Rin, Ardan told Dad everything, which caused your grandfather to lie here."

Mr. Malik opened their conversation.

Arin just nodded.

"Dad sure you heard for yourself from your mother, about you. That you're not Dad's son."

Arin rounded his eyes, looking very curious what his father would say.

Mr. Malik sighed deeply, it was very hard for him to tell this truth. But he had no choice, and sooner or later Arin had to know the truth.

"Your mother's right, Arin. You're not Dad's son."

Arin looked so surprised that he even clenched his hands on his face while shaking slowly.

"I was so hopeful that what you said wasn't true. But why Dad.. Why is that true? So who's Arin really?"

Arin started crying.

"Dad's sorry, all this time I kept it a secret from you. Because I don't want you to get hurt. But it turns out Dad was wrong, you shouldn't keep it from you."

"So the gossip circulating about Mom all this time is right? That you're in a relationship with a man other than Dad? And Arin, was the child born out of an affair between Mom and the rich businessman?"

Arin looked at Mr. Malik with a look of despair, but as if hoping all that was not the truth.

But it turns out he was wrong, Mr. Malik just nodded slowly and lowered his head.

"Son, Arin doesn't believe it. This is definitely impossible. Please tell me, Arin is your daughter, right? Isn't that what I always said, Arin is my only daughter.."

Arin knelt at his father's feet while crying sobbing.

"Wheel.. Forgive me, Father."

Arin got up from his position, then ran away leaving his father still fixated on seeing his departure.

--------------

"Arin, what happened to her?"

Rangga who was walking in the hospital corridor accidentally saw Arin who was running away.

Rangga did not stay silent, he rushed to follow Arin without the girl's knowledge.

Arin ran out of the hospital, until he felt tired and finally slowed down.

Now he is walking aimlessly, and alone.

The girl was walking on the street, she was not even aware when she was crossing a crowded road of vehicles and then running around her.

Suddenly from the bend a car drove fast towards Arin. Looks like the car lost its balance, maybe the brakes are blong.

The driver tried to honk, but Arin didn't hear it or maybe didn't even care.

The car drove closer and stayed only a few seconds, suddenly Arin's body was thrown to the side and fell rolling.

When he realized it, Arin felt over someone's body, and it turned out that person was Rangga!
