The sun appears to be rising directly above the head, the light felt so stinging on the skin of the human children plus the hot air in the capital made Arnold who had just got off the bus run looking for shade in one of the terminals in the city of J because I feel hot. After standing for a long time under the shady banyan tree that was there, Arnold turned to look for a taxi that would take him to where Sera worked, a private bank that has millions of customers.
Arnold seemed to be sitting quietly in the cold taxi while staring out the window to see people who were doing activities during the day. Thirty minutes later, the taxi Arnold was riding on stopped across the street from where Sera had been working. After paying his fare, Arnold got off the taxi immediately.
Arnold immediately crossed the street and entered the bank. At the door he was greeted with a friendly security guard who worked there.
" Can I help you sir?" Ask security.
" I want to meet Sera, she works here in the customer service department" he said." Arnold.
" O Bu Sera's on leave today sir, he's going to have an engagement tonight." The guards made Arnold shocked.
His heart was pounding very fast, his mind was fixed on Sera who for these few days dominated his mind. Is Sera engaged? Thought Arnold.
" Fiancee? If I may know who's engaged, sir?" Arnold again asked to confirm if his assumption was wrong.
" Mum Sera with her lover sir."
Jeduarrr....
As if in a lightning strike in broad daylight, Arnold really felt surprised by this news. A lover? Sera has a lover? What has her closeness meant all this time? How could Sera behave like she was interested in him? Is Arnold too baper or is there something that Sera is hiding from Arnold? Arnold's mind floated back to guess what was really going on.
" If I may know, who are you sir?" Ask the security guard to break Arnold's daydream.
" I'm a neighbor from his grandmother's village sir. Can I request Sera's home address? There's a gift from her grandmother that I have to give to her myself. I forgot to ask his address to his grandmother because I thought I could meet Sera here." Arnold.
" Oh then you can sir, you can go to his house or the hotel where Sera ma'am held the event. But I think Miss Sera must be at the hotel to prepare, just a minute, sir." Said the security guard in a nod of the head by Arnold.
Not because presumptuous security guard dared to give Sera's address to Arnold, he knew that Sera had taken a leave of absence for one month on the grounds of taking care of her grandmother who was sick in the village. He thought Arnold was Sera's grandmother's envoy.
The security guard gave a piece of paper containing Sera's home address, and the address of the hotel where Sera had her engagement later that night. There is no special guard during the event, so guests can freely go in and out of the building to watch and give blessings to the prospective bride and groom.
After thanking the security guard, Arnold stopped the taxi again. This time not to Sera's place or hotel but Arnold's destination is Revia's house. He wanted to ask Revia for an opinion on her plan to come here.
Fifteen minutes Arnold arrived at the Revia residence. He walked down the yard which was covered with trees and ornamental grass on it. Leaves fall into the grass because in the wind during the day. Arriving at the silver door, Arnold squeezed the doorbell on the edge of the door.
Ting Tong's...
Revia who was accompanying Arvi playing while reading his business magazine asked Arvi to open it. Without wasting any time Arvi complied, he opened the door and looked up at the guest who was currently standing in front of the door.
" Daddy Ar." Arvi.
" Riss baby." Arnold crouched down in front of Arvi with both of his knees as his pedestal.
" Daddy misses dear." Arnold looked at Arvi while waiting for her reaction. Arnold immediately hugged his son but he remembered Arvi's attitude when he last came here. He does not want to make Arvi angry or upset with him as before.
" Arvi also miss Daddy Ar."
Nyess....
Arvi's words are like ice water that doused Arnold's heart in the midst of heat and drought. He felt very happy to hear the confession that came out of Arvi's lips. Arnold stroked Arvi's back softly. Both of them express their longing through hugs.
Revia who worried about Arvi because Arvi did not come back immediately moved from her seat, she walked through the living room to the door. Revia stopped her steps when she saw the two hugging each other. Not wanting to interrupt the moment of father and son, Revia went back inside.
After being satisfied with the longing, the two now went inside to approach Revia who was in the living room.
" Mommy, there's daddy Ar coming." Revia looked at the two.
" Hey, please sit down!" Revia.
" Thank you." Arnold sat on the sofa facing Revia.
Without further ado Arnold immediately informs Revia of his goal of coming to the capital. Revia asks Arvi back to her room as she feels this is an adult conversation. Arvi said, he went into his room.
Arnold continued his delayed speech. He says he wants to express his feelings and proposes to Sera for him. But his intention was hindered by news of Sera's engagement to be live tonight. Arnold also recounted to the south his relationship with Sera these few weeks. He felt Sera liked him too. Arnold asks Revia for help to accompany him to come to the show. If he wants to go to Sera's house, he is worried about making a scene there.
" Duh how is it? It just so happened that I also got an invitation from my business colleague to attend her son's engagement event as well, and it seemed like they were having an event at the same hotel. Just a different time." Revia.
Yep... Revia gets an invitation at nine in the evening, while Sera gets engaged at seven in the evening. Either the show turns or how Revia doesn't know.
" Revi, or maybe your colleague and Sera's child are one and the same person? Or maybe Sera was engaged to your colleague's son?" Arnold muttered trying to think about this. Is it impossible if all this is just a coincidence? Arnold's mind floated back up.
" I don't know either, but the rumor is that my colleague's son has never been seen publicly. Whether she's a woman or a man I don't know because we were invited over the phone. Nor does he live with his parents, he lives independently with his work." Revia.
" Where does he work?" I don't know why Arnold was so curious about the figure being told by Revia.
" I don't know about that." Sahut Revia's.
" Yes, it's gini. Later that night I will accompany you to meet Sera, after that I go to my colleague's engagement with Mas Zayn. How's it?" Fresh Revia.
" All right, thanks in advance." Arnold.
" Same same." Sahut Revia's.
Arnold exhaled his coarse breath trying to expel the uneasiness that was engulfing his heart at this moment.
" Hopefully I'm not too late for Sera, and hopefully after I express my feelings for you, you can give me the real answer. Whether you like me or not. If so, I will fight for you but if not then I will forget you and close this heart forever." Inner Arnold.
TBC....
