The mansion is like a royal palace, it looks so big and luxurious. White paint with classy items that seem expensive. The front gate of the towering house was opened by a security guard, as Haafizh's black BMW entered the courtyard area of the house.
The car went straight into the garage. It is parked neatly with a row of other cars. Haafizh got out of the car, with a sour face. He did not meet Arabella's father.
What happened to the mother, when calling earlier mother was very chatty once told her to go home immediately. What's really at home? Hah, Haafizh sighed in annoyance. Because her plan failed.
Haafizh's long legs stepped inside the house, until the big door was opened. When entering the sharp retina Haafizh caught the figure of a middle-aged man sitting in the guest room with his father.
It looked like the two were enjoying a cup of hot coffee, heard the voice of his father who laughed out loud while shaking his head.
"My son turned out to be very naughty, he moved quickly apparently" Mr. Abian's voice laughed.
Haafizh who was silently watching the behavior of the two immediately walked closer.
The sound of Haafizh's footsteps was quite loud, thus distracting the two men to immediately find out who the owner of the footsteps was.
"This is my bad boy. Haha, he's very handsome isn't he, just like his father" Pak Abian said proudly.
"Surely he's very handsome just like you, Bian"
Haafizh just smiled then kissed her father's hand in obedience. While kissing the back of his father's friend's hand, Haafizh's shoulder was patted by him until Haafizh looked up to see the old man's face in front of him.
"It is not wrong that the Almighty has willed and reunited you with my son first" he said, smiling warmly.
Haafizh fell silent while digesting every word of her father's friend earlier. Whatdoes thatmean? Haafizh knew the son of his father's friend. As if Haafizh had met him, he had not known his son.
After kissing the back of his father's friend Haafizh immediately sat next to his father. So that the two faced each other with the middle-aged man.
"This is dad's friend. We haven't seen each other in a long time." Said Mr. Abian opening the chat.
"Bian your son is a country man, he looks so dashing and dignified"
Haafizh who gets such praise can only smile kindly. Unlike his father who looks so happy.
"You're like you don't know, he's my droplets are going down"
"You're too confident Bian, look at your son's face, he looks uncomfortable because he has to look like his father. Hahaha" Candanya ended such a thunderous laughter.
Suddenly Mr. Abian laughed as he patted Haafizh's back quite tight. Haafizh just kept quiet with the chatter that he did not understand at all.
"Haafizh you must be confused by the arrival of my father's friend here" asked Mr. Abian when he stopped laughing.
Haafizh nodded his head.
"Because he wants to hold her accountable"
"What answer?" Haafizh asked while looking at her father in confusion.
"Because you have approached my son" said the old man.
Approaching son?! After all, his son Haafizh never approached anyone but Arabella. From the time Haafizh was still in school to carrying out military education, Haafizh never dated, let alone approached the women.
"I'm sorry, I never knew my father before, so I don't know my father"
"It doesn't matter if you don't know me. But what son Haafizh sure, do not know my daughter"
Haafizh thought again while recalling, but he firmly believed that Haafizh was never close to anyone but Arabella.
"I'm very sure. I don't know who my father's daughter is" anyway"
Suddenly the laughter of Mr. Abian and his friend exploded, both like they were laughing at Haafizh.
"You sure Haafizh? Then the woman you always take home after she works is who" said Mr. Abian, this time he asked quite seriously. Intentionally wanted to see Haafizh's reaction.
Both of Haafizh's sharp eyes immediately stared at his father sharply. His mind was immediately centered on one name, Arabella. Beautiful woman with a shady look. Not every work Haafizh always drove Arabella home to the front of the house.
"Kenapa diam? Apa kamu mengingat sesuatu nak Haafizh"
Haafizh was immediately shocked as he realized something. What this middle-aged man before him was his father Arabella.
It was as if knowing the contents of Haafizh's mind the middle-aged man immediately smiled as he said. "You're right, I'm Arabella's father. Thank you so much for taking good care of my daughter"
"So Arabella... "
"Yes son Haafizh, Arabella is my son. Actually, Arabella hasn't spoken to me about the closeness of you two all this time."
"That night I was waiting for Arabella's work. There was not usually the sound of a car engine stopping in front of my house, because I was curious to see it from behind the window. It was then that I saw Arabella get out of your car. At first I wanted to get angry because Ara had dared to be close to a man. But when I see you like you know the limits with the non-mahram, I feel relieved."
"At that time I wanted to ask Ara, but I intended to silence first. In the end, you always drove my son home safely. The more days of closeness you two get closer. I can also see since she's been with you, Ara's been looking happy."
"I'm sorry! I have been presumptuous to approach the father's daughter without asking permission first" said Haafizh interrupted the words of Mr. Haidar.
"It's okay, Haafizh. Because after I met your father a few months ago exactly when you went on duty. I told you about the closeness of the two of you, and your father said that it was his son Haafizh. I'm very happy because Arabella can be close to good people like you"
"But I am even happier, because I have been met with the father's daughter, Arabella." Haafizh's face looked radiant once. It was unexpected that he could meet his father Arabella in his own home, especially his father was good friends with Arabella's father.
"But son, I'm so sorry." Said Mr. Haidar softly, he lowered his head. Regretting for saying this match to Ana.
Finally, Mr. Haidar and Mr. Abian told Haafizh everything, from the matchmaking of the wishes of his late wife Pak Haidar to this match will be held tomorrow by the dinda.
"Hafizh if this matchmaking is void, your mother will be furious. Because he loved his best friend, his wife, this father's friend. Moreover, your mother really wants this matchmaking to happen as soon as possible without any rejection" said Mr. Abian while staring at Haafizh.
"Where is my mom now?" Ask Haafizh.
"Mother is out, I asked your grandmother's house intentionally so she wouldn't know this. Before leaving, I had told mom to call you to come home soon"
"Then what about tomorrow's matchmaking plan?" Ask Mr. Haidar.
"Make that matter to me" Sahut Pak Abian thought of something.
"Son Haafizh I don't want to make Arabella sad. Please take responsibility for your closeness during this time. Marry my daughter as soon as possible, before Ana finds out who the real man will be betrothed to." Strictly speaking, Mr. Haidar seriously.
"I am very ready to immediately justify the father's daughter. Because I love Arabella!" Haafizh replied with a steady.
