Araz hid behind a tree not far from the gazebo where Cassandra was talking to Kanya. At first, he wanted to approach them right then and there. For Araz, Cassandra's overly meddling attitude in her relationship with Kanya, had already crossed the line. However, upon hearing her lover's stern reply, Araz undoes his intentions. Secretly, he smiled. The man did not expect that Kanya would act that hard to maintain their relationship.
Actually, when Araz asked Kanya to wait in the gazebo, there was something that the man chatted with his father - Bagaskara. Of course it is related to the maternal cousin who increasingly become his behavior.
His father said, the match between Araz and Cassandra is not an absolute thing. After all, the match was just the words of Araz's grandfather so that his inheritance did not fall on the wrong person. Although Araz was not at all interested in the inheritance left by the Grandfather. So did his parents who had owned their own business since Bagaskara still served as police chief and enough to support their families even up to seven derivatives. Although it was not a fingernail compared to the wealth left by his maternal grandfather.
After all, Araz was never educated from childhood to rely on his parents' wealth. For this reason, he himself has become accustomed to being independent since High School by frequently sending his writings to the mass media and getting a hefty honorarium to increase his salary. Not to mention his photography hobby which also made him get rupiah coffers from there. Until in the end he manages his own traveller web page and has more income from there. Especially now, he began to focus on MediaPena which is believed to be getting bigger also under his leadership with Hanung. Wealth is no longer something to worry about.
"You should be able to take a stand, Raz. All this time, your uncle always brought up the matchmaking between you and Cassandra because he never saw you seriously dating. After going out, make a scene in a hospital with the scandal of your courtship with the doctor" Bagaskara said when they talked about Cassandra while caring for plants in their back garden. "Yet your mother never really wanted you to marry Cassandra. Especially after you introduce Kanya and look so in love with the woman. Your mother certainly sees you happier with the person you really love."
"According to Dad, so too?"
"of course. Men should dare to take a stand. I also believe, your mother will not bother about the legacy left by her father. His stake in the hotel exceeded half. The restaurants we manage are also growing rapidly. It's all more than enough. After all, you are also increasingly independent at this time by taking the bold step of building MediaPena. Especially something to worry about. We just want to enjoy the time to age quietly, healthy, to see you happy, without the need to make a fuss about the treasure or whatever it is."
"Do you think Kanya needs to know about this?"
The man who was no longer young, but still looked sturdy despite having wrinkles and almost grayed all his hair, smilingly looked at the child. Araz, however, remained like a boy in need of guidance in every way, even though his behavior often made him high blood and black. Even so, the man would certainly never be truly angry with his own flesh and blood. Moreover, willing to sell the happiness of his son for something that can not be brought to death.
"Sir .. ," call Bagaskara making Araz's defense weaken. It almost completely collapsed. Since the appearance of Cassandra, she only pretended to be tough and seemed ordinary. Although he was actually trying desperately not to look weak. However, the call that only the father made when he wanted to convey important things, made Araz transformed into a boy who needed the caress of his parents' affection.
"Listen to this. If you have decided to be serious with a girl, then you also have to be ready with everything that concerns him or yourself. If you don't want to be honest with him, what if something bigger happens? Are you also going to hide it from Kanya? Kanya deserves to know. Because it also has to do with your future. You can also guess what Cassandra will do when you find out about your relationship with Kanya. Even I'm sure the news of Kanya will soon reach Korea and you will be asked to face the King" Bagaskara said with a laugh as he referred to his father-in-law as the King.
"Araz doesn't matter if he complains to Grandpa. It's quite possible for a free vacation even though it will be able to nag first."
"Try it first if so. Father also wanted to see how the King reacted when the prince he dreamed of was choosing a commoner and not the princess who had been prepared for him. Because clearly, this Prime Minister, will not defend the King" the father added with a mysterious-looking smile. Although Araz knew the purpose of the smile was to challenge the extent of his determination to maintain what he had and wanted.
"Ah, so you think this is an interesting spectacle?"
"Will be more interesting than you can expect. The female lead this time is not a random person. I can guarantee that."
"You mean Dad, Kanya?"
"of course. I don't know if you want Cassandra as the lead female in your story."
"No. I've chosen Kanya. And, I'll prove it if my choice isn't wrong. Is it Grandpa who will live together forever with my soul mate?"
"Well, that's all getting clearer, isn't it? What else can make you doubt if you have chosen? Fight young people, your father will also definitely strive all means for your happiness."
"If so, turn over the money for the sale of the apartment first. Dad wants me to be a badass in Jakarta and live in a hotel that adds to my spending more and more open? Wait until Cassandra finds out I'm staying in a hotel and my life will be perfect to suffer."
Cassandra and her parents lived in the capital. Even his uncle - Lee Yuan - who is also Cassandra's father is the main director of their family hotel in Jakarta. It's just, Araz is always good at evading if asked to meet by the uncle. When checking in to stay at the hotel, Araz uses the name Hanung so that no one is suspicious. Especially to know its existence.
While the father just laughed in response to Araz's statement. His son was always good at taking the gap. How could he have been angry for so long if the child's nature had decreased by 100 percent from him?
"Later Dad transfer. Though I hope you live alone with Kanya and soon have children, so that your old father can carry grandchildren. Well, what can I do. You are not married either."
Bagaskara's words made Araz's face turn red. He did not expect that during this time, his father asked someone to follow and report all his activities. He assumed the father had no longer done so since the man was no longer serving as police chief. However, it turns out that he still sent someone to spy on his activities.
"It's not what you imagined. Well, a few times Araz did sleep in Kanya's apartment, but we didn't. well, I know I'm not that mean guy."
The man laughed. "Have, tell Kanya immediately about Cassandra, don't let her wait too long."
"Yes, but I do believe that I didn't desecrate Kanya before the right time?" araz still wants his father's trust. However, if Araz does not straighten this out, his image in front of Bagaskara will be more polluted after all the behavior that makes the man often scold him.
"Hey Nak, Adhyaksa, look at your brother, how embarrassed he is to be caught sleeping in his girlfriend's place" Bagaskara said, staring at the lush trees at the end of their yard. There lies the grave of the youngest who has died in the arms of the earth many years ago. The man's face looked cloudy despite the mecoba covered by laughter.
"I'm sorry Araz, Dad. All this time I've been troubling Dad and Eomma. Even I haven't been properly devoted to you guys," said Araz regretfully.
He felt guilty for what his father had said. Because, the only wayangnya who has died, the only hope for the father who would obey his words. Not a dissident child like him.
"You see also, son, even your brother just apologized sincerely after a long time. He is still a good brother to you. How could you possibly be able to stay in a long-time feud with him."
Bagaskara's face grew cloudy. Memories of Adhyaksa always carry grim on his face that is no longer young. However, now the old man did not want to grieve too long to remember the youngest, because the prodigal son who had gone home and removed the cloud in his chest.
He patted Araz's shoulder slowly. "Already, don't let Kanya wait too long. It's time for breakfast soon too. Get him to the dinner table."
Araz does not argue. This time, he will obey his father's request.
Now that Araz had finished telling his father, he was more determined to tell Kanya. Especially when he saw how persistent Kanya was to defend herself in front of Cassandra. Makes Araz feel the need to tell her about Cassandra as soon as possible. He didn't want Kanya to get any more misunderstood and thought he was just playing with her feelings. But to get Kanya is not an easy thing.
Araz had already decided to become home for Kanya, so the man had to be a place to go home for her lover. He didn't want his question about Cassandra to ruin everything he had fought for.
