BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT BEAUTIFUL

47. Crocodile Tears

We never thought, suddenly Arif stood up from his seat, then dropped his body right in front of Mama. He knelt with a clear face.

"Tante, I beg you, please forgive me!" pinta Arif's.

"Lho, what is this. No need to kneel down." Mama who was angry, immediately turned unpleasant. Mama tried to ask Arif to get up immediately, but the man did not want to, he was still on his knees. So that makes Mama confused, want to follow her knees but I hold back.

"My fault has been so much to Auntie and Rara. I'm really sorry Auntie. Please forgive me!" pinta Arif's. "I feel like I've earned his karma for my crimes."

"I .. yes. But stand up first." Mama glanced at me and Dinda, asking for help through a gesture to get Arif to stand back up.

Me and Dinda just wanted to watch. See how far Arif has acted. While Mama began to get carried away, easily touched by Arif's seduction.

"Oh my goodness, Rif. Yesterday you were so excited to talk to me, now why be so soft? You think I forgot what you were doing?" I whispered in my heart.

"I'm sorry, Auntie, I'm really sorry." Arif is still welding. He prostrated repeatedly until the mother was more uncomfortable to make. I admit, Arif is a total to get what he wants.

"Yes son Arif, Auntie has forgiven son Arif" said sorry it finally slipped from his mouth mama.

"Aunty Really?" asked Arif with eyes still crying.

"Yes, but get up now." - Pinta Mama.

"Tante, actually I want to confess, I left Rara because I had to" said Arif.

"Forced how about Arif?" ask mama.

"Tante knows, the state of my family is mediocre. Even my parents depended on me. For all their needs they ask me. While I was just an ordinary employee that even his income was far from Rara.

I can't bear to burden Rara Auntie. That's why I had to leave Rara. I chose to marry Monika because she promised to give me money, my plan if I had gotten the money to propose to Rara again" Arif said to make me and Dinda look at each other, while Mama began to feel awkward, to frown.

This drama is Arif? I'm still patient, you know. I can only hide.

Now I just realized how smart Arif is to play the part. It was only a few months that he cynically said that he did not choose me because he was tempted by Monika who was physically more attractive, now even stated that doing this was all for me. He wants to propose to me? It felt like I really wanted to poke, but I could stand it because I still wanted to listen to the drama of the man who managed to play the fake Brotherhood while living the Taaruf period with me.

"What do you mean Arif?" ask Mama.

"Tante, if Auntie really forgives me. Can Aunty reinstitute my relationship with Rara? I promise Auntie, I'll make Aunt's daughter happy." Pinta Arif while linking both hands in front of the chest.

"Lho, son Arif is married. Still looking for Rara too?"

"Tante take it easy, for Rara's sake I'll divorce my wife."

"Don't want Arif. I don't want my child to be the cause of someone else's household damage!" my mother said firmly.

"Nothing Auntie. For me Rara is more valuable than my wife" said Arif again.

"Son Arif, Auntie has forgiven son Arif, but Auntie is sorry, can no longer accept son Arif as part of our family."

"But ..." Suddenly Arif cried. Over time the sedu sedu turned into a roar that made me and Dinda sneer at each other.

"Crocodile tears!" those words came out of Dinda's mouth. He's shaking his head. "Mas Arif that besides having no heart also has no shame, yes!" tusky.

"Now, Arif, don't do this. The neighbors will listen. Aunt is not good. Better get Arif home now. Poor his wife's son. Aunty is not angry." said the mother, while gesturing for Arif to get up and leave.

But instead of according, Arif increasingly become. So I decided to intervene because my mother had shown an uncomfortable attitude. While Dinda was already agitated, she must have been impatient to teach Arif a lesson.

"Arif, don't pretend anymore. I know everything. You have sued Monika, so dare to come here because soon there is no shelter, right?

Rif, you should be ashamed. Don't be like a pestle that goes anywhere and then rubs its host." I said. "You forgot that Ken and I are getting married. You don't want me to tell Ken about today's incident so you can get fired from the company. I know Rif, you've been reprimanded twice. If we act again, I'm pretty sure you'll be fired. So before that happens, you better not come near me again. You understand, right?"

"Rara, what are you talking about? Really, Ra, you were the only girl I ever loved? I also know that you still love me? Come on Ra, confess." said Arif.

"Sir Arif, if Rara's feeling problem, one hundred percent Auntie is sure that Rara no longer likes Arif. Princess Aunty has long forgotten son Arif. So before we all get angry, please follow Rara's words, please get out of this house" Mama said again.

"But Aunt?"

"Now, Arif. If Arif wants to keep pushing, Auntie calls the security guard you know."

Mom's threat makes Arif ciut guts. He got up, and left the house. The three of us can now breathe with relief.

"Sir Rara, how can you like men like that?" ask Dinda.

"Name fooled!" answer, perfunctorily. Remember when Kak Gita offered taaruf proposals for the umpteenth time. Because I felt bad, I finally accepted. With the hope that the introduction will be able to thwart because I myself at that time did not intend to get married because I was still afraid of the failure of my mother and father's marriage

It turns out Arif is so smart to take Mama's heart. With a series of beautiful words, he assured me that he was the best husband candidate for me, so I eventually collapsed.

"Think but fall in love."

"Just kid!" I'm head-scalking. "Aren't you fooled, too, Din? Until you want to learn the photos too if you really become his sister-in-law."

"Hiiiii" said the two of us, followed by laughter because it felt so careless to like men like Arif.
