Behind the decision

After Arumi managed to persuade Arka, the two finally came out of Arka's room. The son who was worried about Arka immediately rushed to embrace the child, there was a sense of regret in him when he could not grant his wish, not unloving Arka,The son was not ready to undergo a marriage relationship with the state of his heart still did not release the Inca.

"Darling, you've worried me. Forgive me son, I promise I will try to fulfill your wish." The son hugged Arka very tightly, it is undeniable that Arka is the life of the son at this time.

Arumi who saw the scene was so moved, it turned out that the cold man he had seen all this time was a sweet father. After quite a long time to see the two, Arumi finally said goodbye to pick up Aldi and Rafa.

"I'm sorry to disturb Mr. Putra and Arka, I want to say goodbye first because I have to pick up Aldi and Rafa" he said which made the father and son release his arms and look at Arumi.

"What about uncle and Rafa, where are you? Kok in the thumb of everything" asked Arka curious

"They were in the bazaar, son, every Sunday we went there to sell cakes that mom made, Alhamdulillah to make additional school snacks" said Arumi answered Arka's question

"Well it sounds exciting, ma'am, can Arka go there too?" Arka's face sparkled when she heard Arumi explain their family's weekend activities, Arka was so enthusiastic to join.

Arumi hesitated to answer and looked towards the son. The son who was looking at Arumi nodded as if giving an answer that he allowed Arka to come with them.

"Of course, dear. You can come with us, but baby Jam this morning the bazaar is closed, how about Sunday tomorrow?" Tawar Arumi who was immediately embraced by Arka

"Promise Mom, Sunday tomorrow Arka can come?" Arka's speech ensured Arumi's speech

"Of course you can play with Rafa there. For now you must eat and do not forget to eat the brownies that you bring, if less Arka can play to the mother's house, then the mother of love that much for Arka "

Arka nodded "Okay Ma'am, Arka must have eaten the brownies that I brought. You know not? I love brownies too, Mom"

"You guys are like twins. I'm glad to hear that mother-made cakes are in demand by many people including you"

"It's good, isn't it Dad?" Tanya Arka asked her father for his approval

Almost azan ashar Arumi just arrived at the bazaar, the state of the bazaar was almost deserted lived some traders who were tidying up their wares to be put in the car. While Aldi and Rafa are sitting sweet in the warteg near where they sell.

"Assalamualaikum, I'm sorry you must wait, because there was a rescue mission first" said Arumi explained about the delay in picking up both

While Aldi and Rafa looked at Arumi confused, what was the purpose of the rescue mission? Did Arumi just become the hero who saved the nation and the country, I don't know.

"Wa'alaikumussalam, it's okay sis, bazar today rame, so many traders who have not cleaned up their merchandise"

"Then how was the sale today Al?"

"Alhamdulillah brother, the cake that you made sold ludes, there are even some orders that ask to be brought Sunday tomorrow"

"Alhamdulillah, many orders?"

"There were about seven people who ordered, each of them different quantities of the cake order, I've noted in the order book"

"Well, I'm not happy to be counting on you .." Arumi hasn't finished talking Rafa has interrupted.

"Mom, I'm not answered" protested Rafa who was getting tired of waiting for the answer to the question he gave Arumi.

"Eh, what's Rafa doing, son?" Arumi asked in a daze given Rafa's question

"Oh, we'd better go home Mom, I'll have to go teach"

"Hmmh well, we send the storefront and table first to Bude Irma" said Arumi

At the Arka residence after the incident 2 days ago, Arka again tried to talk to her father about her wanting to have a mother. The situation today is quite conducive, after returning from the Arka mosque asking for the father's time to speak four eyes.

"Well, can Arka talk?" tanya Arka hesitates fearing her father will get angry again.

The son has understood the current situation, the Son can guess that his son will talk about things that have been their debate before.

"Please son,"

"Well, can't you grant Arka's wish to have a mother?" Arka lowered her head she was ready to listen to the answer from her father, hoping it was not a rejection.

The son took a deep breath, for the happiness of his son whatever he would do including sacrificing his own happiness.

"Hmmh well dad will grant your wish, tomorrow afternoon we go to Ms. Arumi's house and propose to her. I just want to say something, if tomorrow Ms. Arumi refuses or is not ready I hope you are not disappointed. Anyway it's all so sudden son, there's no preparation or approach between Rafa's father and mother"

"I'll tell Rafa tomorrow, hoping that Rafa can persuade Arumi's mother to accept Dad's proposal. If the father and mother agree then we will have a whole family, there is a father there is a mother and also we "said Rafa innocently making the son full.

"Dad wants to ask you. Has Arka forgotten Inca's mother?" asked the son hesitated, because he felt astonished why the son was so enthusiastic about wanting to have a new mother.

Arka who got the ultimate question from the father was a little confused to answer what so that the father does not suspect.

"A.what do you mean by asking me like that, of course the Inca mother was in Arka's heart forever. Arka only runs the message of mother, if Arka can have a new mother when Arka really needs it." said Arka try as calm as possible.

"To be honest I have not been willing to replace the mother in our home, in our hearts well. But Arka was so sad when she heard the story of Rafa who never knew the figure of the father. While I was surrounded by people who loved me there was a father, mother, grandfather, grandmother,om and aunty while Rafa only knew his mother and uncle, I was sad well, I was sad,I want to share my happiness with Rafa through a whole family" Arka said in her heart
