Father To Baron

CHAPTER 59

"How's Arita, did you accept my son's proposal?" andre asked after a moment of silence. The rest were suddenly silent, no one said a word.

Baron who did not understand anything, now just cool to watch an animated film that is on Gibran's mobile phone. Next to his hand, it has been in Gibran's grasp ever since.

"I'm just an ordinary woman .. It seems, not fit to be part of your family." Arita looked at the two chocolate neutrals belonging to Andre who were still fixed on him. The calm tone of the woman, managed to make Patricia interested.

"We don't dispute that" said the head of the Daniswara family, whom he knew with great dignity. Arita admitted, the Gibran family highly upholds the moral of life. And so, he felt inappropriate.

"Of the many women we introduced to Gibran, none of them had succeeded. It is precisely with great ease that he fell in love with you," he said Arita made aware of it.

"Not all men look at the female caste," added Patricia so that makes Arita a little surprised. In her silence, Arita tried to digest every word spoken by the woman. His personality is difficult to guess, making Arita must be careful.

"Do you intend to reject my son?" asked the woman by looking closely at Arita's eyes.

"Ma ..." Mona's memory was stopped by the gaze of her mother. Suddenly, Edward's wife was back in silence. Previously, both he and the father had warned Patricia not to behave arbitrarily.

"We are different" said Arita briefly.

Hearing that, Patricia nodded her head as if she understood Arita's words. He saw a small frame on the nightstand, which contained a photo of Arita and Baron while performing worship in the holy land of Muslims.

"You ever go there?" patricia asked in the same direction. Suddenly, everyone also looked towards the direction that the middle-aged woman meant.

"Yes, it's a picture of us one year ago" he said with a thin smile recalling the special events in his life. In the photo, Arita looks very graceful with a white hijab covering her hair.

Again and again, Patricia simply nodded her head in response. With a serious look on her face, the woman stared at the son and Arita in turn.

"I know, it may not be easy for you to accept my son. Other than your past figure, of course it's because of the difference between our religion and yours."

Everyone was silent, hearing his words which were a fact. Likewise with Gibran, who repeatedly took a deep breath. Baron's little fingers were wiped, hoping to reduce the worry in his chest.

"I want to convert, Ma .." said Gibran in a soft tone. However, implied confidence in the man's words, thus making everyone feel shocked. Especially Arita, who was completely unaware of this.

"What are you saying, Gib?" ask Patricia.

The feelings of the mother of 2 children cannot be expressed. In addition to being surprised, Patricia also felt that her son had been completely far away from her. With two teary eyes, the woman looked at the son's face in shock.

"I have the intention to move on" the 25-year-old said, reaffirming his goodwill.

"I converted, not because of Arita. But, because I had the intention for a long time. With this, maybe I will learn more and become a better person again," he explained trying to convince both parents and his brother.

The atmosphere returned to silence, after the confession from the man. All the gazes were directed at him, thus making Gibran lower his head.

"I want to be serious with Arita. And because of that, I also have to do it," he added trying to strengthen the opinion he had conveyed. But that made Arita look in disbelief at him.

"Don't convert, just because you want to marry me. The intention must be pure from your heart" said the woman beraras ayu with a soothing aura.

Gibran nodded his head steadily, when he heard the suggestion from Arita. While both his parents and his brother, witnessed this in silence. Besides being surprised, they also did not expect the decision of the son of the Daniswara family.

"Are you sure, Gib?" ask the papa.

"Even Gibran never once hesitated about this," the man's response made Andre smile proudly at him. The little son he had always been proud of since childhood, now grew into a wise man in his eyes.

"Pa?" patricia still doesn't believe me.

"Your son has grown up .. rest assured, whatever he chooses is good for his own sake" argued Andre who strives to think logically. After all, he always held the principle to always support whatever his children choose.

"Seriously dad?" gibran said to make sure.

"Does your dad look like he's kidding, boy?" asked the middle-aged man with a faint smile. As penance for his treatment of Gibran in the past, Andre sought to support his son's decision.

"Choose whatever makes you sure" said Edward, starting to open his voice. "I'm just your sister-in-law. But, whatever decision you make, it's certain that I'm second only to Papa who will support you."

Mona commented on her proud smile with her gaze fixed on Edward. With his own eyes, he saw the real sincerity of the husband for his only sister. It was this that made Mona gently stroke Edward's fingers adorned by their wedding rings.

"There is no belief that teaches evil. Whatever your choice, do it on the basis of sincerity. I support you, Gib," the older brother added, making the man feel a heavy burden that he had originally borne, now disappeared somewhere.

As if he didn't need any advice from his mother, Gibran seemed more emphatic than ever. That's what caught Arita's attention. The woman wondered if the reason behind Gibran's coldness was Patricia.

"Do what makes you happy, Gib. Mama will not hinder your happiness anymore" said a mother who managed to make Andre surprised for a while. He really did not believe, would his wife have changed for the sake of their children?

"Thank you" Gibran replied so briefly. There were no happy strokes on her face, when Patricia said that.

Feeling the atmosphere of the room began to change, Mona immediately melted it by opening a chat. Meanwhile, watching the look of regret on the wife's face, making Andre immediately grasped his wife's fingers and rubbed it gently.

"Calm down, your son will change as time goes on." Patricia rests her head on her husband's shoulder. His gaze began to look down, again regretting his bad deeds to the son.

"Baron, how cool. Watch what's that, baby?" mona said by paying attention to the little guy who looked like a henchman in Gibran's lap.

Adorable, the boy immediately turned his eyes away with a wide smile. Later, Baron shows Gibran's phone screen, making Mona understand. Then, the woman chuckles amusedly at the attitude of the little one.

"Come here, uncle wants to see it too" called Edward who made the Baron nod his head. With the help of Gibran, the boy began to descend from the man's lap and immediately walked toward Edward.

"Here" said Mona carrying Baron's body.

When seeing the child of Arita looks very comfortable with his daughter and daughter-in-law, making Andre review his smile. As for Patricia, the woman was shocked. Apparently, the sweetness of the child's attitude managed to melt the hearts of Edward and Mona.

"He looks very smart at his age" said Andre, making Arita avert his eyes to look at the man.

"I think so, Baron is smarter than children his age," I the woman made the couple quietly listen. "Especially when relying on logic, she looks more mature than her age."

Andre can admit that. He clearly noticed that Baron was a child with a high IQ.

"Pa, he looked like a little Gibran, didn't he?" asked the son who made Andre chuckle for a moment. From the physical and physical appearance of the child is indeed very similar to his son in childhood.

"Your son-in-law, right? It is appropriate if it is similar," said Andre so casually. Patricia commented on the grin, seeing Gibran's very indifferent attitude towards him. The corner of his heart was in pain, when his biological son was seen not expecting his presence.

If a couple sitting next to Andre were busy accompanying Baron, Gibran and Arita would look at each other silently. For some reason, Arita needed some time to talk to the man.

"Arita, what if your marriage is in 2 months? Surely after Gibran legitimately became a convert,"
