"Eat something before we go home" Zidan said, taking off his arms. Fanny brought food for Zidan and Zara.
"To the house?" ask Zara confused.
"Yes, to my parents' house, I will ask permission to marry you as soon as possible" Zidan said. He smiled thinly.
"I'm afraid of your parents Zidan. What if they're angry?" said Zara.
"Anger is a natural thing, baby. Moreover, we have made a big mistake. Do you trust me? I'll take care of everything" said Zidan. He smiled thinly.
Zara and Zidan started breakfast. After they finished, they decided to return today as well. All administration is taken care of by Fanny. Now, they're headed for Zidan's parents' house. There was a nervousness in Zidan's heart. But he must be ready to be a man who is responsible and accept any risks later.
On the way Zara just fell silent. I don't know what he's thinking right now. Zara looked more moody than usual.
"I went home to the hostel. I'm not feeling well" said Zara. Zidan glanced at Zara and refocused on the wheel.
"Why baby? What's that sick?" ask Zidan to worry.
"I'm not ready to meet your parents right now Zidan. I'm scared" said Zara Lirih. Zara looks so scared.
"Yes, I'll take you home. Let me try to talk to Mommy first. Hopefully there will be no problems later" said Zidan. He smiled and gently ruffled Zara's hair.
Finally Zidan escorted Zara to get to the front of the boarding house. After making sure Zara went inside, Zidan just left from there. He will meet his parents today. Honestly, Zidan also felt takit like Zara. But Zidan could hide it better than Zara.
Zara went into her dorm room limply. He felt sorry for believing in Karina. She was so careless that Karina took advantage of her sincerity and innocence. Although in the end Zara did it with Zidan, she also did not want this to happen now. Moreover, they have not been bound by marriage. Zara just curled up on her mattress and without feeling her cheeks wet back by a tear.
Arriving home, Zidan was silent in his car. He adjusted his breath to be calmer while composing the words he would say to his parents later. Zidan walks into the house and immediately searches for Alina and Arvin. Fortunately today Arvin's leave doesn't go to the office. Zidan wanted to speak seriously to them. And now they're in Arvin's office.
Plaaakkk
Three slaps that Arvin threw at Zidan. But Zidan was silent. He will accept the consequences whatever it is. Zidan sat down in front of Zidan. The pain he felt right now was nothing compared to the shame that Arvin and Alina had received.
"Mas, don't be rude to Zidan. We ask first what really happened," said Alina while rubbing Arvin's shoulder to make it quieter.
"Did you ever think about your family's reputation when you did? How's Zara's self-esteem if people know about it? If you want to get married, why not tell me from the beginning? Why use it this way?" arvin was angry. Zidan just lowered his face. Fortunately, he did not bring Zara to his family.
"Mas, don't get angry first" said Alina hoping Arvin was calmer.
"How can I not be angry dear... He's already ruined the future of people's girls. How can I face her family later if I meet them?" arvin.
"Sorry Pa, Zidan knows, Zidan was wrong. Therefore, Zidan asked papa for permission to immediately marry Zara," said Zidan while looking at Arvin. Arvin breathed slowly. He sat on the sofa with Alina. Alina was worried that Arvin would be rougher than this if he did not accompany her.
"Then what about Barra's wedding?" ask Arvin slowly.
"Zidan also did not ask for a large-scale event. Most importantly we were legal first as husband and wife Pa" Zidan suggested. Arvin massaged his temple. He was so stunned to hear Zidan's confession this morning. He was angry that Zidan had broken his limits.
Zidan turned to look at Alina.
"He's at Mom's boarding house" Zidan replied. Arvin and Alina stared at each other. Alina shook her head slowly to Arvin.
"Let's talk to your sisters again" Arvin said. Zidan nodded in understanding. He was ready to go to his room.
"Wait on! How many times have you done it?" arvin asked when Zidan would open the door. Makes Zidan's cheeks flushed.
"A-one-time Pa," Zidan replied honestly. Zidan's expression made Arvin want to laugh right then and there.
"Don't repeat it again before you marry her" Arvin said. Zidan nodded then walked out of the room.
Zidan was relieved to have told his parents. But Zidan didn't tell them the truth. He only tells about himself and Zara has had an intimate relationship.
Inside the room, Arvin looked at Alina sadly. He failed to educate his son. Alina tries to calm Arvin down. He was also disappointed but could not make that disappointment an excuse to hate and hurt his son.
"Here you go, there's no point in continuing to be angry at Zidan. Everything has happened too. We'll talk to Barra. Whether he wants to postpone the wedding or not" said Alina. He smiled and kissed Arvin's lips to be calmer. Arvin smiled faintly and grabbed Alina into his arms.

The family members are now gathered in the living room. Silent atmosphere. Alisya looked at each other's faces one by one. He was very confused, it was not as usual.
Barra and Raffa knew if Arvin told them to get together there would be something serious to talk about. Therefore, Barra and Raffa did not dare to ask before Arvin explained to them.
"Barra, if your marriage is postponed for a while how?" tanya Arvin started the conversation.
Barra was silent for a moment. He was surprised when Arvin asked that.
"Why Pa?" ask Barra curiously. Zidan just looked down. Arvin and Alina looked at each other.
"Your brother wants to marry Zara soon. So, do you mind?" arvin. Alisya and Raffa were only loyal listeners. Barra looked directly at Zidan.
"Why so suddenly? Isn't Zara still in college?" barra asked not to accept.
"Your flight has made one big mistake. Zara is now pregnant and should get married soon" Arvin said. Making Barra and the others surprised included Zidan. But he didn't tell that.
"What??" say them simultaneously. Zidan just looked down.
"Let's let papa talk to Kayla's family. The most important thing now is to save Zara's self-esteem. Would you like it to be postponed first?" arvin. Their wedding preparations were nearly one hundred percent.
"Papa's decision is already unanimous. You don't want to have to accept it" said Arvin. He stood up and walked towards his room followed by Alina.
