It was early in the morning when Mikael's eyes closed, Ariana began to wake him up. Through the call, he still had not opened his eyes but had already heard what the woman had said.
"Oh my God, how do I wake her up. It's the first day he's here if it's too late, grandpa's getting angry later." Ariana leaned her body towards Mikael. Patting lightly on the man's arm.
"Professor, get up, it's morning, we have to go get ready for the mosque" Ariana said. Mikael opened his eyes and smiled making Ariana's skin bristle instantly because the distance of their faces was very close.
His chest was again pounding loudly.
"I'll go to the musholla first" he said awkwardly.
"We go together." Mikael wakes up and takes ablution after which he goes out to pick up the holster in the suitcase. Ariana then went into the bathroom for ablution. They then left the room together.
They then went down to the mosque next to the house. Exit through the side door.
"Ameena I didn't bring a mukena" Ariana said as she passed her sister-in-law.
"Wait, Ariana, uh Sister-in-law. I'll get it in the room." A few moments later Ameena brought her a mukena. At that moment, Grandpa Toha walked over.
"Good morning, Grandpa" said Ariana.
"Morning, let's go to the mosque" the old man stared intently at Mikael and stepped first followed by his grandchildren. In his heart, he felt a little relieved that the family's first grandchild had finally returned home with his wife.
Toha's grandfather was an elder in this area. In addition he is the imam in this mosque makes him respected by many people. The way he educated his family became a reference for everyone who knew him. So when Mikael went with another woman and left his wife just like that made a big blow for him. He was so embarrassed and felt like he had failed to educate his granddaughter.
He also feels responsible for Ariana's life. However, when Ariana's parents begin to realize something is wrong, a bloody quarrel ensues. Ariana's family broke the cord with them and hated the Toha family. They did not allow family members to talk to the Toha family. Ariana was immediately asked to cut off contact with her in-laws.
Toha's grandfather tried to apologize but was never accepted by Makmur Sanjaya, Ariana's father.
They then prayed together. Residents who saw Ariana and Mikael came started to say hello and then stifled shoes behind the couple.
They next sat on the back porch of the house. Ariana chose to go to the room to check that Dita was awake or not.
Mikael sat on a rattan chair staring towards the flower garden. Aris himself feeds on some Bluebird birds in large cages.
"So you dare go back home after we were expelled a few years ago!" grandpa Toha said he started this conversation.
"I've brought Ariana back home."
"Bringing home doesn't mean getting back together, does it?" The old man sipped his warm tea.
His grandfather slapped Mikael in the face. His grandfather could read people's minds. He always dies lice if he makes a mistake in front of the man who has aged 75 years.
"I'm starting over and we're trying to get to know each other first" Professor Mikael said, looking down on his grandfather.
"If the intentions are good we will support. If you just want to play us, you better get out of here as soon as I can before my anger blows."
"Ariana's a good girl you shouldn't be playing with. Appreciate him and treat him well, you'll never regret."
They were silent and dissolved in each other's minds.
In the room, Dita was crying by herself. A servant who heard accompanied him. Ariana went into the room and told the waiter to leave. Seeing Ariana, Dita immediately hugged him made the woman surprised.
"I'm scared" he said sobbing. Ariana was about to hug the boy back but her hands looked doubtful. Finally he did not have the heart and returned the little girl's embrace.
"It's okay it's Grandpa Grandma's house, you're safe here" Ariana said.
"Where's Dad?" he said he was still crying.
"With Grandpa Buyut. You want to be with them?" Dita nodded her head.
At that moment, Mikael went into the room.
"Look at your father has come" said Ariana, releasing her arms at Dita. He then got up and backed away from the boy. Let's say he's evil but he doesn't want to be close to Dita. Not for hating him but for remembering his father's actions that almost destroyed his life.
"So she was crying and I tried to calm her down. I'm going to the kitchen to prepare breakfast" Ariana said.
"Thank you."
"Say later when all is done. I've been feeling tight lying to everyone. Accelerate this visit." Ariana leaves Mikael and Dita.
"Mom would love to see you back, wouldn't you?" Ameena.
"You're right, he'll wake up right away from his coma" Grandpa Toha said at his breakfast.
Mikael came along with Dita who was neat and fragrant. The boy looks cute and adorable. However, everyone was reluctant to greet him or get acquainted with him. Ameena actually wants to say hello to her beautiful niece but is scared of Grandpa Toha.
Ariana realized there was something wrong with their rigid attitude when the father and son walked into the dining room.
"Know their darling is Dad's family, he said you wanted to meet them. This is Aunt Ameena's father's sister and this is her husband, Om Aris." Ameena smiled awkwardly at Dita and continued to eat as well as her husband.
Mikael then approached his grandfather.
"It's Grandpa's great-grandfather, say hello to him" said Mikael but Grandpa Toha's wry and sour face frightened Dita. She's speechless.
"Don't you force your illegitimate child into this family" Grandpa Toha got up and left his meal.
Mikael was stunned to hear his Grandfather's words. If he is mistreated he accepts but when his ignorant son is blamed for his mistake then he feels pain. His eyes blushed for a moment.
Ameena and Aris opened her mouth, unable to say anything. They did not dare to respond and say his objections in front of the parents they respected the most.
Ariana felt the destruction of Mikael. He could see Mikael was holding himself back by clenching his hands tightly so that the surrounding muscles looked out. His face also looks hard.
Ariana got up and walked over to Mikael who seemed devastated by her grandfather's words. Her hand gently held Mikael's arm. The man looked at her, Ariana could feel the pain inside.
Ariana blinked her eyes for Mikael to be patient. "Let Dita eat with me." Ariana could not bear to see Dita who hoped to get affection from this family even seemed ignored.
Mikael was stunned, realizing his mistake, what his grandfather said was right. Ariana is a good woman and does not deserve to be hurt.
