Final Letter
Pamite



At 5pm Arka and the son had returned from the office, Arka with a hostile face, but Rafa still greeted him kindly, maybe this was their last meeting in this house.


Arumi sees the faces of the two who are not so friendly decide not to procrastinate about his plans. Arumi is sorry to see Rafa who is already uncomfortable but has to pretend to smile.


"Sir, is the son back?" asked Arumi welcoming as usual.


"Yes, I'm so tired."


"Arka you better take a shower because we have to go to grandma's house, right?" said the Son to Arka.


As Arka was about to head towards her room Arumi spoke to ask for her second time, she wanted to say goodbye and did not want to just leave.


"A moment sir, we both want to talk" Arumi interrupted.


"I'm tired, how come tomorrow?" putra Sahut


"I ask for the time of Father and Arka for the last time, just promise we will not interfere with your time again" said Arumi frankly


The son scrunched his forehead, it seems that what Arumi will convey is so important, especially the Son saw the appearance of the two are quite neat, even though the Son did not plan to invite them, because of Arka's desire.


"All right, let's get to the living room"


The four of them headed to the family room. After sitting in each place Arumi also opened his voice.


"Before I apologize for interrupting father's time and also Arka. But I have to say it now, I think it's the right time and I don't want to put it off again.


The son and Arka listen to Arumi speak, though both of them know what Arumi will say.


"Say, we'll listen"


"I and Rafa wanted to say goodbye to Putra and Arka, we decided to go back to our old house. It may seem impromptu but for us it's enough time to decide. I don't know what to say, moreover, the marriage relationship that I and my father lived through did not have a change, everything was the same as the beginning. I decided to marry my father because of the wishes of Rafa and Arka, but it seems that Arka did not want our existence anymore, so we decided to go home" said Arumi conveyed his intentions and goals.


Son and Arka were surprised by what Arumi said, she did not expect that the two would leave this house, Sutra saw Arumi's face making sure that everything was not true, but the gaze was really honest. While Arka saw the face of a friend and brother who was about to leave her house, Rafa only returned Arka's gaze with a smile, as if Rafa's smile said, "You don't have to worry, I'll go".


"What do you mean ?" ask the son to make sure


"And this is my ring back, I have no right to receive this"


"But why is it suddenly like this?"


"As I have said before this is not sudden and has been thought through carefully. I hope we can respect each other's decision, I also do not turn on the father in this relationship, because it is not easy to forget the woman you love just like that, and then accept our marriage, he said,I know myself enough, sir. From now on I hope everything will be back to how it was"


The confused son must respond to Arumi's speech like what, everything feels suddenly for him, even though the Son is quite aware of making both of them uncomfortable, but this is not what he wants. Truthfully Putra had felt comfortable with the existence of the two of them, but at the end of this Arka as if acting and asked him to keep his distance with Rafa and his mother.


The son is like eating simalakama fruit, wanting to ask for an explanation from Arka, but the child seems to silence. The son had promised to obey all his wishes, but it turned out to be a boomerang for him.


Arumi and Rafa stand up, before Arumi gives a signal to Rafa that what he wants to talk about is done.


"Then we both said, Pak and Arka. Forgive me if during these 5 months if we have intentional patience or not, I hope you both find true happiness even though it is not from both of us. And for you Arka, thank you for sharing your father and also various rooms with Rafa, forgive Rafa yes if he often irritates you, after this you can be free from Rafa." said Arumi, after that Rafa opened his voice to say goodbye.


"Arka let me last call the son's father with the father's call" Rafa asked Arka for permission.


Arka was silent with teary eyes.


"Dad, thank you, for allowing me to be a father's son even if only for a short time, at least Rafa knows what it's like to have a father. I'm happy well, even though I realize that my father is not entirely Rafa's, but Rafa is still grateful to have a father. Thank you again for your precious opportunity"


"And for Arka, forgive me if I've been wrong with you, or I've hurt you. Thanks for your comfortable room, and very sophisticated toys, I'm glad thanks to you I feel all this. But I realized that I was greedy to want it all, from now on I will not do it again, I will return all yours. Me and mom want to say goodbye, don't hate me yes, we can still be a temen in school, I want the old Arka, I'm willing not to have a father, because I have friends like you before" rafa said her uneg-uneg for the last time with tears flowing.


"Oiya sir, send my greetings to all the extended family of the father and the late wife of the father. I'm sorry I couldn't fulfill their request to be a good mother and wife to you, I'm so glad to know them. We say goodbye now, Aldi has picked us up.


Both of them also left the big house owned by the son with a feeling of haru, before they had said goodbye to the others. How does Aldi feel? The boy was very disappointed but he could not do anything, Arumi also told Aldi not to do strange things, including talking to the Son. Arumi wanted to go well without any burden.
