Father's Choice of Sort

A Little Closer to Arkha.

Sandra stopped riding her motorcycle on the side of the road near the field. He did not focus on driving it so chose a short break.

" What am I thinking ? Why can't I focus ? Don't let me be influenced by them. Sandra's.. Forget it, it's none of your business. Shouldn't I be happy ?? Without doing anything Rena and Alfian can get back together by themselves, so I can get away from it and start a new life with mom." Sandra said to encourage herself.

Sandra looked far ahead. The expanse of grass that was blown by the wind made his mind drift even more.

" Have they re-established a relationship ? Since when ? Then why has Alfian turned nice to me lately ? To get rid of the guilt of cheating ?? No, why does he feel guilty...Or.. lest he purposely do it for me to fall for him and after that want to break my heart ? Is this part of his plan to make me suffer ? He's playing this wedding, he's playing me ! I-i know... He has not changed at all ! " Inner Sandra who was feeling upset herself thought of Alfian and Rena.

" Not going home, but daydreaming here ! " Tegur Arkha who then sat next to Sandra.

" Why are you here ?! " Tanya Sandra doesn't like it. His mind was in chaos, he did not want to be disturbed at this moment.

" Not on purpose, by chance see you here." Answer Arkha casually.

" Go away, I don't want to be disturbed. " She said.

" A problem again ? " Tanya Arkha.

" It's none of your business. Cepet go !" Remove Sandra.

" If I don't want to ? " Take Arkha.

" You yeah... Brother sister is the same, likes to make people emotional !" Sandra said scowling in annoyance.

Arkha chuckled little to hear it.

" Because of Al ? " Take Arkha.

" I told you it's none of your business."

" It must be because of him and Rena right ? " Tanya Arkha. Again, the guess is right.

" Why do you know ?" Reply Sandra quickly.

" I'm right ?" Arkha said he was getting more satisfied. Sandra shamed.

" I accidentally saw the two of them yesterday. So you've seen them too ?" Ask Arkha. Sandra did not answer.

" Mmm, so yesterday they also met ? " Sandra's mind was shocked.

" Where did you see him ? " Sandra pretended to ask flatly in order to sound ordinary. Though actually he was very curious and upset because it turns out they had met several times behind him.

" It's still in the office." Answer Arkha.

" Ohh... mm... Do you think they're back together ?" Ask Sandra again.

" I'm not sure. But if you look at Rena's attitude, I'll make sure she wants it."

Sandra lowered her head in anguish to hear it, even though she had already guessed it if that possibility could happen. Moreover, compared to her usual self, of course Alfian will choose the beautiful and famous Rena.

" Yes you're right..." Sandra said later. He doesn't look excited.

" You don't have to worry so ... I know how my brother is. He is a loyal man.eh stupid too.ah so anyway. But he's a man who values relationships very much." Arkha said trying to calm down.

" Who is worried, I'm happy if they can be together again... I heard Al's love is so great for Rena ..." Sandra denied.

" Hehe.. Why do you lie ! It seems obvious if you are worried about it. Only a man of many minds would suddenly stop his motorcycle and sit daydreaming on the sidelines like this."

" Know ! I'm a little sleepy, so stop and rest here. " Disput Sandra again.

" No, in a minute, I still want to be here."

" Al can go home first if you keep insisting on sitting dreamy like a statue here !"

" Let it be ! At most he was just angry as usual. Now I'm immune to it."

" All right, I'll hang out here.,"

" Huh ? Don't go. I want to go home first."

" Stttt ... shut up and sit quietly." Arkha's Order.

Sandra finally complied and went back to quietly observing the expanse of grass.

" You know. I often disagree with him. But I can't hate him." Arkha said suddenly.

" You mean Alfian ?" Ask Sandra.

" Yes. I don't like to see him who likes to organize..."

Sandra nodded in agreement.

" He was also too ambitious and angry...." Arkha was again answered with a nod of the head by Sandra.

" He is also selfish and stubborn !" Cut Sandra.

Arkha smiled in allowing. " You're right. That's what Alfian is like. But even though it looked hard on the outside, I knew that in fact his heart was also fragile and empty. He used to love us so much. After my mother died, Alfian became the front man who always took care of me and protect Neta. Until all that changed, the incident began when papa sent him to school abroad. Al feels himself alienated by his own family. He thinks papa is picky and loves me and Neta. And because of that too he lost Rena who prefers to leave him. It was then that I first saw her wrathful and began to change. He did not go home at all for four years in the land of people. He never contacted us either. Only occasionally did he call Neta. I know he is his favorite sister. It doesn't matter to me because I am too. Although I often annoy and tease him. I love him so much." Arkha said at length.

Sandra listened to Arkha's story carefully.

" It must have been hard for him. He had to part with the people he cared about and live alone there." Sandra replied.

" Yes, you're right. But papa sent him abroad not just to study alone. But papa wants Al to live independently. And the most important thing is to make Al aware that if Rena does not love him, he is only after his money, papa wants Al to understand if Rena only uses it. But Al misunderstands, he thinks papa doesn't care about his happiness." Said Arkha who was now daydreaming staring at the grass in front of them.

" so.... Rena never really loved Mas Al ?" Ask Sandra later.

" Yes, and he continues to blame papa until now. "

" Mmm .. So that's how much his love for Rena is." Sandra responded.

" ac .. She was blinded by her first love so that it made her so stupid ! If now he accepts the woman again, then he is really as stupid as I said !" Arkha.

" But..didn't we not get to choose who we'd fall in love with ? Because our hearts feel it...If Al loves him and Rena is the same. Why do we interfere ? Let them be together."

" Especially because we care about him. We just want happiness for him. Are we willing to let our loved ones live with people we know just want to use them ? Of course not. That's what you did to Alfian. Papa doesn't want Alfian's life ruined later." Arkha.

Sandra was stunned for a moment.

" Why did you marry me to him ? Don't you know we don't love each other ? How can you believe that I deserve and make Alfian happy ? " Tanya Sandra.

" Because parents can see what we can't see from the glasses of life. Usually, parents better understand what their children need.... There must be a good reason why Papa chose you. I believe papa wouldn't carelessly choose a partner for his son." Arkha again.

Sandra who had been listening more and more now gradually began to understand the meaning of Arkha's words.

" It turns out that behind her annoying attitude, she can be mature and thoughtful. " Praise Sandra in your heart.
