Ariana For Rangga
Episode Six
That morning Arin and Donny were on the plane.
After asking permission from his grandparents, Arin finally decided to come with Donny to Jakarta.
After all, it just so happens that tomorrow is her mother's birthday, and she plans to surprise a mother she hasn't seen in a long time.
At eight o'clock in the morning, the plane they were boarding departed from Kuala Namu international airport to Jakarta.
"Arin, brother plans to introduce Arin to papa and brother mama. Arin's no problem, is he? Yes, although Arin already knows papa and mama, but used to rarely meet. Especially since Arin moved in."
"Arin okay bang. But nervous too. Mama's brother looks a little bad.."
Plain Arin.
Donny laughs sumringah.
"From the first mama was chatty, but actually her heart was soft."
Answer Donny.
"Well, what if my brother's family doesn't like Arin?"
"Danish.. You are talking about Rin. Brother's family just can't wait to see you, even yesterday's mother who urged brother to bring his future daughter-in-law home."
Donny.
Of course Donny's words make Arin a misbehavior.
"But my brother's family didn't ask us to rush into marriage, did they?"
Arin's question made Donny laugh.
"Haha.. You are Rin, your brother said. Brother will wait until Arin is ready to be brother's wife. Brother will not force Arin, nor will his brother's family. At first, my mom asked to be quick. But after you found out Arin's status was still a student, you agreed to be postponed."
Answer Donny.
"Thank God.. Arin hopes Arin won't let down my brother's family."
Arin.
---------
Finally they arrived at Soekarno-Hatta airport.
The Donny family's private driver was waiting for them. Before leaving Medan, Donny had asked the driver to pick them up at the airport.
"Leganya... Breathing in the air in the land of birth.."
Said Arin while opening the car glass.
For two years, Arin hasn't been back in town. The atmosphere was the same as the last time he came home. Traffic jams, air pollution, crowds, Jakarta are far more frenetic than Siantar, the small town where he lives with his grandparents now. Even so, in this city he always felt home.
Lots of good memories are stored here. A happy childhood, with a well-rounded family. Unwittingly, Arin's Tears glimmered in remembering all the good memories of this town. Undeniably, he missed that time. When her parents complement each other.
His heart ached, returning to the fact that it was all just a memory. There were a lot of things he didn't understand, and all the bad things just happened. She was separated from her mother, as was her biological brother who chose to leave the house.
"Arin, what's wrong with you?"
Donny asked who saw Arin crying.
"Oh, Um.. What not bang.. Arin just remembered the memories of Arin's childhood in this city. It feels so good to be home."
Arin replied lying.
"Yes, you're right Rin.. There are so many great memories in this city that you can't forget. You remember, we once rained in the garden of three with Ardan. You have a fever tomorrow, Ardan is very angry with his brother. Because at first my brother brought you rain. For almost two weeks Ardan won't talk to his brother."
Donny said in memory.
"And at the end of the day it's better because Arin's brain is being bullied by other friends.."
Connect Arin.
Donny laughs sumringah.
"But to be honest, my brother felt really guilty. Brother several times wanted to look at Arin, but Ardan did not allow brother to enter. Even brother to wait in front of Arin's house all day, just to apologize while carrying Arin's favorite chocolate."
"Beyond? But bang Ardan didn't tell me about it.."
Arin.
"Yes maybe at that time he was really angry with his brother.natural course, if the brother in Ardan's position brother must also be angry."
Answer Donny.
Arin.
"Yes, you understand. Ardan just doesn't want you to do anything. Ardan loves you very much Rin. And brother too."
Arin glanced at Donny who was smiling sincerely.
"Don't you know how to react bang Ardan when you know Arin's dating brother?"
Donny shakes.
"Bang Ardan was furious.he said gini: Arin, brother does not agree that Arin is dating Donny. He must be a playboy, from the looks of it already. There must be a lot of women he's been flirting with."
Arin imitates Ardan's style of speech.
Donny is getting dizzy, especially when Arin imitates Ardan's angry face during a video call with him.
"Abang will try to convince Ardan, if brother really loves this little sister, and brother will always take care of Arin as Ardan does. Brother will prove that brother is worthy of Arin."
Donny said as he rubbed Arin's head.
"Marling...."
Said Arin while pushing Donny's shoulder.
"But just the same Arin.."
Reply Donny with a smile.

They finally arrive at the Donny family home. In front of the house looks mama Donny who has been waiting for them.
"Finally arrived too.. Where's your daughter-in-law's name?"
Mama Donny rushed over excitedly.
Arin got out of the car, then approached Aunt Retno who was hugging her son.
"Assalamualaikum aunt.."
Say Arin politely while yapping Aunt Retno's hand.
"Vaalaikumsalam.. So, here comes the beautiful girl who makes mama kasmaran's son.. What's your name, baby?"
"Ariana Dahlia's aunt, but aunty can call Arin aja."
Arin replied with a smile.
"Arin's son Aunt Wulan and Om Malik ma, our neighbor first.. I remember playing with Ardan and Arin almost every day."
Donny.
"Within?"
Aunt Retno looked at Arin's face carefully.
"You, is it Wulan's son?"
Ask Aunt Retno.
"Yes aunty, I'm Arin. But it's natural that aunt forgets, because it's been a long time we didn't meet."
Answer Arin.
"Oh.."
Suddenly Aunt Retno's face looked flat, as if unhappy.
"Auntie close to my mother?"
Ask Arin.
"So, not close at all. Who does not know Wulan Ayu Ningsih. She is a beauty influencer who is on the rise, even until her personal life becomes a tranding in the media."
Reply Aunt Retno cynically.
"Donny, mama today there's a party with mama's friends. Papa also has to get back to work. You know for yourself, papa you are one of the state officials and public figures. Of course it should be a good example, and be free from reproach as well as slanted gossip."
The words of Aunt Retno seemed to give a deep innuendo to Arin.
