Don't Take My Son

Knitting Asa

" Van, thank you well you understand my situation, I'm really sorry for hurting you, but I think if forced you will be even more sick, and I don't want to hurt you any deeper. You deserve to be happy Van, I'm sure you'll find the right person, who loves you so much and you love him too." Rafael was at Vania's mess house, after Kharisa recounted his meeting with Vania in his office three days ago. It turns out that he had mistaken Vania, instead Vania empathizes with Kharisa and instead supports Kharisa to be with Rafael, and Vania will release Rafael, also accepting that his engagement is canceled.

"Tomorrow I'll talk to my parents, hopefully they can understand too." Vania's voice rang out, she remembered her parents as well as her grandmother who was lying sick, she imagined how disappointed they were, she herself did not know how her father's attitude would be, will either accept or demand Rafael to maintain their engagement and proceed to the marriage stage. Now his eyes look teary. He is indeed sensitive if his family affairs, all this time whatever he does is to make his family, especially his parents, happy.

" I'll accompany you, I'll explain directly to your parents, no matter how I'm the one who wants this engagement to be annulled."

"Let me El, I'm afraid my papa is disappointed and angry with you." Vania could not imagine how the attitude of her father, who she knew included a hard man as well, she did not hesitate to slap someone when angry.

"It's okay, I'll take whatever your father does to me, if I get beaten up I'll take it, because I hurt his daughter, I'm wrong on this, I'm wrong on this, so I'm ready to take the risk." Rafael's words sounded like a brave knight who honestly admitted his mistake.

"But Raf......" Vania looks doubtful, of course she will not have the heart to see Rafael if it is properly beaten by her papa.

"Tomorrow we go home together, after work hours are over we go straight away." Vania was stunned, only this time Rafael invited her home together, and this is what he had hoped before, since becoming his fiancee Rafael, Vania had never once returned together to Jakarta. And now that their relationship is about to end, her hopes of going home together are realized, should she be happy?

The next day after working hours Rafael returned to Jakarta with Vania, during the trip they did not talk much, besides focusing on the streets Rafael was busy with his own thoughts. Lying if his heart is calm when he will meet his future father-in-law, prospective former in-law precisely because the purpose he met him is to cancel his marriage. He must prepare himself to face all the possibilities he will accept. Maybe anger, abuse or even a slap, a physical blow, he should be ready to take it. Which father will be silent to see his son hurt by his heart, especially Vania, a child that is very dear to his father.

Several times he took a breath to calm himself down, and it did not escape the attention of Vania who was sitting next to him, and Vania could read what Rafael was thinking.

"Well, if you're not ready, don't talk to papa tonight, you better go home first, rest, then tomorrow you talk to papa, papa, you haven't talked about it yet with your papi mami."

"I don't want to procrastinate Van, I want my one-on-one problem to be solved, so I'm calm, waiting for tomorrow I won't be able to sleep." Rafael's words sound bad in Vania's ears, Rafael considers his engagement to Rafael a problem, without Rafael realizing his words have hurt Vania, but Vania is silent, he realized he was completely unwanted by Rafael. He also chose to remain silent until it did not feel Rafael's car had entered the yard of Vania's house.

Sometimes we like to think excessively about things that have not happened to us, to make our hearts not calm. What Rafael thought during the trip turned out to be none of them. Arriving at Vania's house he was greeted by his mother, then his father came out of the room to hear the arrival of his favorite daughter. Papa and Mama Vania seen coming see Vania did not come alone, it turns out there is a prospective daughter-in-law as well, this is the first time they saw Vania ushered by Rafael, of course they were happy to see her, they were happy to see her, isn't this an advance, thinking that their daughter's relationship is getting closer to the suaminua candidate, that's their mind.

Rafael was invited to dinner which was already prepared. They also had dinner together, seen two younger sisters Vania also eat dinner together.

And Rafael also conveyed his point, carefully he explained, telling his past until a few months ago was met with his new son, of course, making papa and mama Vania surprised.

"You're not lying to auntie, are you Raf?" Asked Mama Vania did not believe, all this time she had never heard what Rafael told her.

"Your mother never talked to us about this." Added mami Vania. Rafael also told that all this time papi and his mother who actually hid the whereabouts of his son. Papa Vania just kept silent did not take out a single word.

"For that I came here intending to cancel my engagement with Vania, I'm sorry Om, Auntie, I can't continue it. I don't want to hurt Vania more deeply, I know I've hurt her now, and on this occasion I apologized to Om, Auntie, as well as Vania and the extended family for my actions, I apologize once again." Raphael spoke modestly, aware that he was in the wrong position, it was possible that what he said had destroyed the dignity of the parents and family of Vania. The engagement of his daughter who is still in her corn years has just been announced to a large family, his business ration suddenly has to run aground.

Papa Vania was still unmoved, sitting on the sofa staring at her daughter's face as if reading what her daughter was feeling. But Vania looks tough, does not look ait pooled in his eyes, it looks like his tears have indeed dried up, he spilled when in his solitude in his mess house.

"Well, Mah I've agreed our engagement is canceled, there's more to Rafael than me, I'm willing to let Rafael go, and Papa Mama doesn't have to worry, I'm fine." Vania reassures both her parents, while papa and her mother look at her daughter who looks tough.

"Om going to talk to your mom and dad first." That's all I said from Papa Vania. There was no anger or harsh words, coming out of his lips, completely far from what Rafael had imagined just now while on the way. Likewise with Vania, she did not expect her father to be so calm. With gratitude Rafael returned home with a calm heart, although it was not clear papa Vania received the annulment of his engagement, but seeing the attitude of papa Vania he was sure Papa Vania would accept him.

The next day Rafael returned to the city where he worked with Vania, they looked more familiar than when they were engaged. Before Rafael left, papa Vania said something.

"Om agreed to your request yesterday, Om sudsh spoke to your father on the phone. Om agrees because Vania can convince Om that she's okay. Om just wants to see princess Om happy." How relieved Rafael, finally one by one the problem can be resolved. Her PR is only going to regain Kharisa's heart, reuniting their fractured relationship, but she believes Kharisa wants to come back with her for their son who needs a full family and the affection of his parents. After that get the blessing of her mother who until now still did not want to accept Kharisa as her daughter-in-law. Last night her mother had the emotion of hearing that Rafael had met Vania's parents to cancel her match, until her mother complained of tightness and chest pain, her heart ache recurred again, his papi who from the beginning tried to calm his mother immediately gave a cure for his heart attack. He could have guessed that his wife would have a mild heart attack, he could have handled it.

Rafael can only apologize to his father and mother. And he remained in his position to pursue Kharisa. Now it's time for him to rebuild his dream of becoming a real father to Rakha, giving his son a whole family. Knitting desperately with his lover who until now is still very loved.
