Arinda, First Love

The rejection of Arinda's parents

Arin and Satria are currently sitting opposite their parents. While on the left and right side they have Adrian and Meisya who appear to participate in the conversation.

"Did you really decide to go back with her?" mother's question made Arin look up slowly staring at his mother's two eyes.

"I love Arin Aunty so much." replied Satria immediately got a sharp look from Arin's mother.

"I asked my daughter" replied the mother coldly staring dislikefully at Satria.

"I.iya ma'am." replied Arin a little nervously.

A look of disappointment was seen on the faces of his parents. They never thought if within 1 month his daughter could come back with the son of a bitch who had ruined her life first.

Satria who saw the fear on Arin's face tried to strengthen her by holding Arin's hand gently. From his gaze Satria wants to convince Arin if all will be well.

"Arin go to the room with your sister-in-law" said the father now making Arin shake weakly.

""Dad did not ask much, please follow the request of the father this time Arin." said the father again firmly make Arin can no longer argue.

For a moment Arin looked at Satria who was now looking at him with a shady smile while nodding her head slowly. Arin and Meisya finally went from the living room to her room above with a heavy heart.

"You are also Adrian, father and mother want to talk privately with Satria. Please respect my father's request at this time." said Arin's father staring firmly at his eldest son.

He knows very well that Adrian is currently being controlled by emotions. Talking will not produce anything if the heart and mind are hot. Adrian finally chose to go to the backyard where his daughter was playing with the nanny.

After everyone left, Satria and Arin's parents were left in the living room. The atmosphere became so awkward and silent as both of them were only silent for a few moments.

"Before you explain anything, I want to ask and tell you a few things" Arin's father said.

"How long have you been breaking up with Arin?"

"Nearly 10 years old." replied Satria calmly.

"In 10 years, do you know what my daughter went through because of you?"

Deg

"Well, if you don't know, I'll tell you."

"After Arin found out you were impregnating another woman, my daughter was so devastated. He locked himself in his room for days. Not only refusing to eat and drink, my daughter also almost committed suicide" explained Arin's father in a choked voice trying strongly to explain how Arin was doing at the time.

"It looks like you don't know anything about this. My daughter sliced her wrist with broken glass. Luckily his mother quickly learned of the incident so that our daughter's life could be saved quickly at that time." obviously the father again made Satria just lowered his head to hold back the tears that would have fallen from his eyelids.

"And a few days in the hospital, my daughter became more silent. He did not say much and the doctor said Arin seemed to be depressed. And for years he's been going to psychiatrists regularly for treatment and therapy."

"But as soon as he has started to gradually recover and fine you come back in my daughter's life. Until finally my daughter chose to go to a remote island that is very far from here.

For 1 full year my daughter tried to get up and forget about you, treating his pain back until his psychiatrist says that Arin is completely cured and can escape the anti-depressant drugs he took for years because of you."

"And look now, as soon as my daughter tries to start her life over again you come into her life so easily. Maybe he can easily forgive you because he loves you so much. But do you think I'll just forgive you?"

"After making my daughter suffer for almost 10 years?"

"After making us almost lose our only precious daughter?"

"Do you feel it's appropriate to be able to get back to our daughter with your past like that?"

Satria could only look down deeper and deeper, with tears that she could not stand. Slowly he drew closer to Arin's father and mother and begged under their feet.

"I'm sorry, aunt. Because I don't know Arin's suffering is that big. I will not defend myself or explain anything because my past has hurt Arin too deeply. But I beg you, auntie give me a chance to make Arin happy."

"I promise if I'll never make Arin suffer again. I will always make my daughter and aunt happy" Satria said in a raucous voice.

"Don't make a promise that even you yourself aren't sure will be able to keep" Arin's mother said after a long silence and only being a listener between her husband and Satria.

"Frankly, aunt does not willing if Arin is in contact with you again let alone to get to a more serious level. You should also be able to consider this well, whether Arin can accept the existence of your child. Have you guys talked about all that?" his words again completely left Satria at a loss for words.

His tongue felt muddy, he had no answer to Arin's parents' question. Moreover, he never expected to get such a story about Arin that he had never known.

"For now, go home. Think about what om and aunt are telling you right now. Marriage is not something that can be run with just words of love." said Arin's father makes Satria confused what to behave like.

Whether he should give up first and come back later or shut up and keep fighting for their relationship. Although it must be against both parents Arin at this time.

"There hasn't been half of what you've known about Arin in the last 10 years. And if you keep pushing now then our answer is no. Because as a father, om wants a man who deserves a daughter om. Ponder with yourself, do you feel worthy of Arin in the future."

Satria finally chose to surrender, before returning home he tried to say goodbye to Arin's parents. Luckily, though they may hate Satria at least their attitude is still a little better than what he had thought.

"I'm definitely back om, aunt. Assalamualaikum." said Satria after saying goodbye to Arin's parents.
