23. Fight with me

Arini opened her eyes as her hand phone ringing repeatedly rang. His eyes swept around the room while gathering his consciousness. "Where am I?" his bathin. Arini flicked away the blanket wrapped around her body and grabbed the mobile phone on the nightstand. Her name is on the screen

"Assalamualaikum, Ma" Arini tried to neutralize the sound of waking up.

"Vaalaikumsalam. Just woke up, Rin?" greet Mama Arini at the end of the phone.

"Yes, Ma. Arini fell asleep last night and did not come to pick up Ahmad's parents." Arini fought while tidying himself up and got out of bed.

"Are you okay?" Mama Arini looked worried.

"Good, Ma. Just overslept last night. Today Arini will speak with Ahmad and his parents. Arini also wants to go home soon, Ma" Arini opened the room girden still look dimly lit outside.

"Hurry home. It is not good for girls to stay at home people who do not know who in the future will be for you" Arini's father's voice was firm. Arini swallowed her saliva, her heart instantly shriveled. Arini understood what her father meant.

"Yes, Dad. Arini apologizes for bothering Mom and Dad. Arini's coming home soon, Dad"

"Lusa has a scheduled flight from BIL to the area, Rin. So, the day after tomorrow you take a morning flight from Jakarta. You can wait for that flight to the area around 11 o'clock. Or did you book a ticket for you from here?" bargain Father Arini still with a firm yet gentle voice.

"That's all, yeah. Arini will see the schedule from Jakarta. Thanks Dad. Once again, I apologize Arini for bothering me. Father and Mama are well.later noon Arini kabari" said Arini reassured her father. After the greeting call is terminated.

Arini looked at her phone hand with a small smile. Arini feels proud and happy to have parents who love her very much and can understand her wishes.

Arini cleaned herself in the bathroom and tidied up her appearance. It was not yet morning at six. Arini opened the door and went down the stairs to the kitchen. The smell of tempting dishes makes you hungry. Arini was transfixed to see the back of Mother Irene who was busy making fried rice accompanied by bi Ijah.

"Assalamualaikum, mother" Arini hugged Irene's waist from behind with shame and longing that mingled in her heart. Mother Irene seemed surprised for a moment because of Arini's actions and immediately turned her body while still holding both Arini's hands on her waist.

"Waalaikumsalam, dear" mother Irene hugged Arini tightly.

"I'm sorry Arini, bun. Overnight sleeping did not come to pick up mother. Sorry to bother you and your family" Arini kissed Mother Irene's cheeks affectionately. The beautiful woman in front of him smiled.

"That's it. Mother and family apologize to you for what happened a few months ago. Ahmad explained it to you, right?" mother Irene invites Arini to leave the kitchen to the dining room that is not too far from the kitchen. Bi Ijah continued to feed breakfast that morning.

"Mother wishes your mother and father would forgive us all. For that we come and will immediately meet your parents" mother Irene grasped Arini's hand while sitting next to each other at the dining table is still quiet. Occasionally bi Ijah come arrange breakfast at the table.

"Assalamualaikum my sweet wife" said the sound of a thick American accented bule to his wife. Kiss his wife's head with affection. Arini smiled looking at their fingers.

"Hello Arini..how are you?" he said while greeting Arini. Arini got up and grabbed the hand of papa Ahmad and kissed the back of his hand respectfully.

"Thank God, pa" Arini smiled and sat back down. Papa Ahmad's handsome face is so shady and still fresh after so long never met.

"Papa's sorry, Rin. All our crimes are like a destiny we cannot avoid. Especially Papa's son." Papa Ahmad grabbed a piece of water and steamed it slowly. "Would your family accept us back, Rin. Papa doesn't want this to drag on. If it can be as soon as possible then today we have to solve all these problems" he said firmly without stale bases.

"Arini has told this to the family, pa. Mama just asked Arini to come home soon. But, uh,..." Arini hung up her sentence. Mother Irene and her husband look at each other to understand how the situation of Arini's heart is at this time.

"Ahmad will solve everything, Rin. Take it easy" Mother Irene patted gently on the shoulder of her daughter-in-law who was like her son. Arini, however, is the son of her best friend, whom she loves the most.

Arini took a slow breath. Nodding while looking down in front of Ahmad's parents. Various feelings in his heart seemed uncertain which was difficult to express what it was like. His life problems are so difficult and winding. His love story will end in what it looks like. It's hard to let go of what we already love.

"Fight with me" that sentence seemed to be his encouragement now. Ahmad is indeed the man in charge so far, despite the events that hurt his family first.

Arini took a slow breath.
