Devotion of Love

Unite them

"Darling, did you see my mom? I haven't seen my mom since this morning!" arkan asked casually, Aura shook her head weakly. Arkan frowned, he did not understand and was confused. It's not usual for Tika to leave without saying goodbye.

Arkan walked towards Dimas' garage. Arkan gets even more confused when he sees Tika's car not there. Tika has never driven her own car. He was always ushered in by Arkan or Vahira. If not, Tika chose to use a taxi. But the day is unusual. Tika went to bring her own car. I don't know where he went?

"What's up Arkan? Who are you looking for?" dimas said, Arkan turned with a surprised look.

Since Arkan and Tika decided to return to this country. They live in Dimas' house. At least they can take care of Dimas and Nissa. Arkan let out a long sigh, letting out the confusion that engulfed his heart. Dimas nodded understanding the meaning of Arkan's strands. Gently Dimas pulled Arkan's body sitting on the sofa of the living room.

Dimas is trying to get to know his first grandchild. The son who was born from the womb of Kartika Putri Anggara. Princess reasoned herself and Nissa were united. A love story that is not easy, but eternal all the time. Dimas leads Arkan to sit back in front of the TV. The living room is intentionally designed. So that all families can come together as one. Dimas patted Arkan's shoulder gently. Trying to appease a granddaughter who was never in his arms.

"Who are you looking for? You worried where Tika went?" dimas said softly, Arkan looked surprised. She did not expect Dimas to easily understand her worry. Anxiety goes where the mother goes. Makes him afraid not to be able to stand clear.

Before long, Aura came carrying a tray of drinks and snacks. Aura laid on the table that was in front of Dimas and Arkan. But obviously Arkan didn't care, when Aura presented it to him. Dimas smiled wryly, as Aura gave him a cup of coffee. Dimas understood Arkan's anxiety, but on the other hand he saw Aura's disappointed countenance. When his attention is ignored Arkan.

"Aura, sit down with us. Arkan didn't mean to hurt your heart. She was worried about her mother. Sometimes it hurts, but try to understand Arkan. Only Tika had been in her life all this time. Once he loses Tika, he will get agitated and upset. Not that he doesn't care about you!" dimas said casually, Aura nodded without daring to look at Dimas. Aura was embarrassed by her inappropriate attitude.

Arkan immediately turned his head towards Aura. He gently pulled Aura's hand. Leads Aura sitting next to Arkan. Arkan gently grasped Aura's hand. Arkan was not ashamed, even though there was Dimas beside them. Instead it was Dimas who understood the dilemma of Arkan and Aura. Just smiling happily, Dimas recalled clearly. The times when she and Nissa were always at odds? Dimas understands how angry it feels but dear. Like a newlywed who is mixing love.

"Sorry!" arkan said softly while kissing the back of Aura's hand. Shamefully Aura nodded slowly. He smiled accepting Arkan's warm treatment.

"I'm the one who's sorry for acting like a kid!" said Aura, Arkan immediately pulled Aura's body into his arms. Dimas smiled happily to see his grandson get his love.

"Agghhhmmm!" Dimas cleared his throat, as if reminding Arkan and Aura of his whereabouts. Both of them let go of their embrace. Dimas chuckled at the surprised Arkan and Aura. Dimas seemed to return young just by looking at Arkan and Aura.

"Wherever Tika goes? Grandpa was sure he could take care of himself. There is no need to worry, sometimes you believe in your mother. Grandpa was even happy to see Tika like this. Out of that comfort as long as she chooses. Tika is not that weak, so it must be feared. Tika is stronger than our thinking. Grandpa never worried about Tika. All this time grandfather always kept silent to see the sorrow and liked Tika. Grandpa never came to hold her, even when tears and pain filled her days!" dimas said calmly, Arkan silently lowered his head. She clearly understood Tika's downturn, but no one was beside her.

"Didn't Grandpa not love Tika. But on the contrary, grandfather knows who he is? Women are weak but do not want to be pitied. A child who wouldn't want to see his parents' tears and fidgets. Tika better hold back her tears. So that no one sees it. Grandpa never worried about her. So that Tika can cry as much as possible. At least by crying, Tika can vanish all her pain!" dimas said, Arkan looked at him with a look of disbelief.

All this time Arkan thought, no one loves Tika. They all seem to be fine. For fifteen years they were gone. Arkan felt that no one missed him. Everyone seemed to consider fifteen years a short time. Nothing has changed, everything looks the same. But all his thoughts were wrong. Shallow thinking of the relationship between Tika and the people around him. Makes Arkan prejudiced, but everything has changed. When he heard it himself. How great their understanding will be hardened Tika.

"I'm sorry Arkan always thinks badly!" arkan said softly, Dimas nodded weakly. Dimas patted Arkan's shoulder gently.

"You're not wrong, we're hard on Tika. All this time he was alone in facing his pain. Tika was not our right after she married Agam. Tika's strong, even powerful personal makes her break with Agam. Although it was clear he was very hurt and missed Agam. Only Agam men are loved and thrill Tika!"

"If there is love between them. Why was the farewell chosen? Our family is broken without a remnant. Me and Hanna had to separate and choose, without knowing what our fault was? We had to take turns hugging my mom and dad. When there was a papa, we lost my mom. Your heart is half filled, my life is never complete!" arkan lirih said while looking down.

Instantly Dimas turned his head, Arkan's words seemed to be the groans of a child lacking in affection. Dimas felt the bitterness of the life Arkan lived. Behind Arkan's smile was a real tear that could not drip. Firmness that closes tightly, fragile heart of a child. Just to be a strong child in front of his beloved mother. Dimas patted Arkan's shoulder slowly. Trying to calm Arkan down, if all's gonna be okay.

"If your life isn't perfect, why not try to perfect it? Tika left you guys. For the love and service of Agam. So that the priest does not become an ungodly child in front of his parents. Now unite them with your love. The bond between them is still very strong. And will be stronger with your hope and affection!" sahut Nissa relaxed, then sat not far from Dimas.

Sontak Dimas approached Nissa. With a friendly Dimas leaning on Nissa's body. It was as if Dimas did not consider the existence of Arkan and Aura. Nissa could only shake her head at Dimas' spoiled attitude towards her.

"Can't be!" sahut Arkan's.

"Who said? We used to be apart, but we were united for your mom's smile. Now get them together for your smile and Hanna's. Believe it or not, their love is still there and forever!" nissa said warmly.
