Forever Love

Qualifying

Zafran looked at Alisha who was leading her granddaughter down the stairs. He smiled faintly as he looked at the face of his granddaughter who was so similar to Arkana.

'Look Ka, you left your duplicate in this world. How could Qania forget you if your son's face was so similar and reminded him of you. God is so fair as to give you a replacement for a boy, Qania. Likewise with Setya, he was blessed with an heir who was exactly the same as his deceased heir. Papa hope you won't get angry in nature when Qania gets your replacement, Ka.'

"Grandfather come" called Arqasa, making Zafran aware of his daydream.

"Qania's done calling, Pa?" Ask Alisha.

"Yes, Ma. He said he wanted to leave KKN, earlier he also said at the location of his KKN there was a signal. So it's safe" replied Zafran, standing up and holding his grandson's hand.

"Thank God Pa" said Alisha, who walked behind her two favorite men while carrying her grandson's backpack.

the three got into the car by not using the services of their driver. Throughout the journey Arqasa continued to chatter and was also responded to by his grandparents.

Zafran's car stopped in front of the school gate. As usual, Arqasa forbade his grandparents from going down. He just said goodbye from the car and went straight down.

Zafran and Alisha waved as Arqasa waved to them and after that Zafran turned his car around to return home.

It did not take long for the car to be parked in the yard. Alisha and Zafran entered and sat in the garden beside the house as usual.

"Pa, what were you talking about?" Alisha asked who had been curious.

"That's Ma, so there's Qania's friend who's been fond of her for a long time and has been chasing her for years. Qania was afraid of falling if he continued to get attention. He also does not want to disappoint Setya if he replaces Arkana. Papa feels sorry for her too, Ma. However, the boy was very young and the journey was long. He and Arqasa definitely need a figure who can protect them. Qania pangs still hasn't thought about this, but one day she will definitely understand the situation."

"Papa just didn't want Qania to realize too late and finally he was back in solitude, especially if Arqasa later married. Of course Arqasa's priority is his wife and children later. Then Qania, she'll live alone and lonely. When will the child be happy? After he was separated from Arkana, Papa rarely saw a real laugh from his mouth except when with his son, Ma," said Zafran at length, then he sighed.

"Papa was right, too, Qania's love for Arkana was so great that she could not open her heart and herself to another man. Mama was as afraid as Papa was, and Qania's concern about Setya's disappointment was also true. But that Qania can't live on her own forever, she needs a backrest. As Papa said earlier, Qania was still young and had a long journey to go through. Can not alone face the bitterness of life," said Alisha chimed in, her mind glazed so far that the beautiful figure of her child flashed in her mind.

"What are you worried about?"

Alisha and Zafran who were busy with their thoughts were each startled by the question of the familiar voice in their ears. Both of them turned around and became misbehaved when they saw who was standing behind them.

"Setya ...."

"Mas Setya ...."

"Why look at me like you've just seen a ghost?" Upset Setya then walked over and sat down beside Zafran.

"Yes, it is the same as the devil who likes to come suddenly" Zafran said.

"Damn you," said Setya.

"Emm, um Setya ...."

"Look, I heard everything you were talking about. It's true that my heart ached when I heard that someone liked my daughter-in-law. But anyway I can't ban Qania if she gets a man who can make her forget Arkana and can also protect her. I don't want to be a hypocrite, I admit that I'm disappointed that Qania will be taken, but I don't want to limit it. I just hope he stays with me and my granddaughter when he finds a replacement for Arkana" Setya said.

"Then why don't you marry the Qania? That way he will continue with you and will help you to send all your business" Zafran said.

"Awww..you hit my back Set?"

While Alisha, she was stunned after her husband said that.

"Makanya tuh mouth do not just mengeluarin words. Yes, I married Qania because I wanted him to stay with me. He was I considered my own son and his name has also entered my family card. Lo's mind terrifies me Zaf," said Setya.

Zafran laughed, he was just joking. He did not expect the response of the friend as well as his iron will be like this. But in his heart he was very grateful that his daughter got in-laws who were so dear to him, even though after this he would torture her by taking care of all the business and helping her in solving legal cases.

"Aja kali. You haven't had a companion in a long time," Zafran said.

"Pa, stop teasing Setya. I want us to talk seriously about this. Discuss first the matter of Qania, do not run away from the topic," said Alisha.

"Hehehe, sorry."

"Hmm ... how do you do according to Setya?" Alisha asked worriedly.

"As I said earlier Al, it's up to Qania. I support her as long as her husband is willing to split the time to stay in my house and in their house. He did not forbid Qania to be with me and take care of my business. Not to spare my granddaughter and certainly not to make Qania sad like Arkana who has made Qania locked in grief and continues to wait for him to return when it is an impossibility that he continues to pray."

"You were right Set, and thank you for being wise" Zafran said sincerely, now there are no more shackles in his heart.

"I agree with you, Setya. The qualifications you mentioned earlier are a condition for our future son-in-law. I also thank you, Mas," said Alisha.

"Yes, return the love. But who's the man who's gonna be our son-in-law's candidate?" Setya asked who was actually very curious about the man who was able to replace Arkana in the heart of Qania.

"We don't know it yet and from the Qania narrative, it seems this man is the same as Arkana. Qania had rejected him repeatedly but he kept coming again. Qania was even tired of facing it but the man still wanted to stick to Qania" Zafran said.

"Wait a minute, this means Qania and the man haven't been in a relationship yet?" Setya didn't understand.

"Yes like that. Qania had not accepted the man at all. Qania was stubborn and in his heart he was determined not to replace Arkana. He wants to live alone with his son and his memories with Arkana. Not only this man who has been rejected by him, there are many more and we can not do anything if his son has made a decision," Zafran complained.

"Unbelievably, Arkana was really very lucky to have a wife who loved her so much even though she was gone. If Arkana were still around I'm sure they would both be the happiest couple where they are two people who have such great love for their partner," lirih Setya's.

"Prophe Set, everything will be beautiful in time" Zafran comforted as he rubbed Setya's shoulder to channel strength.

"Yes Zaf. Ah I became curious how the man's struggle conquered the heart of Qania," said Setya enthusiastically.

"Me too" cried Alisha.

Zafran laughed when he saw his wife and best friend waiting for their future son-in-law. Actually it was the same, only he did not show it.
