Holding My Heart Belongs to Me

06. Getting Married Now

Reizvan felt pity for Ardhita who looked confused with a flushed face. Perhaps the shock of the suggestion of Irvoni has not gone away, now more and more shock with the request of Mr. Irawan more or less the same content. Same with Reizvan's feelings.

"Pa, I'll take Ardhita home first. After that, I'm here again with Papa."

Reizvan stood up straight and took his father's hand for a greeting, then kissed. However, sir Irawan bellowed and turned away, like he did not want to see his son.

"Sir, I want to go home first. I hope you're healthy again. Assalamu'alaikum." This time it was Ardhita who greeted Irawan. However, Irawan did not immediately release Ardhita's hand greetings.

"Ardhita, did you hear what I was talking about with Reizvan?" asked Mr. Irawan to restrain Ardhita's movement. The beautiful girl without makeup nodded slowly. A cloudy gait hung in his eyes.

"Yes, Sir. I heard," said Ardhita lirih. His head nodded.

"I hope you understand what I mean, Dit. Dad wants to be your dad forever. So that you continue to be happy and will never suffer again" said Mr. Irawan explained.

Ardhita was speechless with her face slightly bent. I don't think I should know how. While Reizvan already has a lover who looks very loved. How could Reizvan and Ardhita get married? Is it possible that they will be together as happily as Irawan hoped for him? A million thought it was raging in Ardhita's head.

"Pa, I'll take Ardhita home first" Reizvan interjected.

The handsome man did not want his father to persuade him. Reizvan felt sorry for Ardhita who had just graduated from college. Should be happy, free and happy to enjoy graduation, it is faced with the demands of marriage. Reizvan felt both anxious and ashamed of Ardhita.

"Ardhita, let me take you home" Reizvan said with a stern look at Ardhita.

"Pa, I'll come back later. Assalamu'alaikum." Reizvan rushed to the door, not hearing his father's greetings. Legs continue to walk, but the heart while hoping to answer greetings from Mr. Irawan.

Ardhita silently followed her steps towards the parking lot. Keep silent until the car glides fast splitting the streets of Surabaya at night.

Mr. Adam greeted with a frowny smile on his forehead. Astonished by the somber aura that clearly read on Ardhita and Reizvan's face when it came. The old man simply answered his greetings, then went silent without asking anything until they went inside and sat three on the sofa.

"Is Mr. Irawan okay, Mas?" ask Adam, looking worried.

"Alhamdulillah, it has started to stabilize Mr. Adam," said Reizvan by leaning back on the sofa. Paras is very tired looking.

"When can I take you home, Mom?" ask Adam again.

Reizvan did not immediately respond. The wide hand with the long finger grabbed his own nose and pulled it up to three times. It was clear that his heart was broken. However, Mr. Adam did not ask any more and chose to let it go.

"Dad, I'm sleepy, want to pray first. Mas Reiz, thank you. Greetings to Mr. Irawan," said Ardhita before the pace into the room. There was no more sweet smile that appeared to rise from her beautiful face.

"Dit, you don't want to accompany your brother to dinner?!" asked Adam to call out to his darting daughter.

"No need to bother, sir. Me and Adit have eaten on the street." Reizvan said to calm Mr. Adam. Exploring how disappointed the boy's daughter felt. Although Ardhita was silent, but she also understood.

Suddenly the phone in Reizvan's shirt pocket again vibrated and rang. Immediately struck and raised an incoming call from the nurse who guarded the father in the hospital.

"Hello?" greet Reizvan. Then shut up and listen.

The handsome man heard carefully from the guard nurse Irawan on his mobile phone. Then nod occasionally with a surprised and tense expression. Reizvan straightened his face and looked at Mr. Adam, and the call ended a few seconds later.

"Sir, what project can you stay for a moment?" reizvan asked looking troubled.

"Critical father again, wants the three of us to come to the hospital as soon as possible," Reizvan said as he quickly stood up. He grabbed another car key that a dozen minutes ago had just been placed.

"Yes, Mas. Project doesn't matter we stay in the hospital for a while" said Mr. Adam.

"The three of us, what is Ardhita, Mas?" ask Adam again with a troubled look.

"Really, Sir. Thank you, Mr. Adam. Please bring Ardhita, sir! I'll wait in the car!" exclaim Reizvan.

The man walked out and approached the shower under the porch. Wash your face as much as there, gargle several times and finish it by washing your feet repeatedly.

Twenty-five minutes later..

The car was back in the parking lot tens of minutes ago just abandoned. Now back to safety there. Reizvan came out of the steering wheel, followed by Adam and Ardhita from the passenger seat in the back. Then walked quickly to the VIP ward where Mr. Irawan was treated.

"Where's papa's condition, Ma'am?" reizvan asked as he arrived in front of the father's nursery. It just so happened that the rental nurse who took care of Mr. Irawan was out of the room.

"Alhamdulillah is quite stable again, Mas. The doctor just came out of the room after checking, Father." The rental nurse spoke looking tense.

"So my father said, if he had come, Mr. Adam was asked to go into the room to see him. Just Mr. Adam, yes Mas," continued the rent firmly.

"Yes, Mother. I understand, "welcome Reizvan nodded. Then he looked at Adam with fret.

"Please, Mr. Adam." Reizvan asked Adam to see his father immediately. While the nurse rent was passing quickly by carrying a small flask heading towards the public kitchen. I'll fill it with hot water there.

Ardhita and Reizvan looked at each other for a moment. Both are guessing, why Mr. Irawan just call Mr. Adam alone to enter.

They both turned and turned their eyes, their heads were guessing at the same guess. That Mr. Irawan is asking that Mr. Adam marry his daughter to his son. It feels both awkward and confused.

"Sit down on that bench, Dit," said Reizvan, pointing to an empty bench next to Mr. Irawan's bedroom door. It's not good to keep quiet with each other.

However, Ardhita did not reply, but shifted his legs closer to the bench and sat smashing his buttocks there. Reizvan just followed with his eyes, and then walked back and forth looking troubled along the porch of the father's room. Minutes passed, until it ran out a dozen minutes, and became tens of minutes waiting for Mr. Adam who appeared later.

The ceklerk!

Adam walked out of the room. The old face looked worried and tense. Her gaze dimmed and pity stared at Adhita with the look of her dear eyes.

"How, Sir?" asked Reizvan. Mr. Adam turned to look intently at Reizvan. His lips twitched small, as if it was very difficult to start talking.

"Dad, how?" reprimanded Ardhita who was also impatient. Adam looked at the two of them in turn.

"I think you've heard it too. I just need to repeat Mr. Irawan's request to you, you two get married."

"Ardhita, as your father asked, I will marry you to Mas Reizvan as soon as possible, right now," said Mr. Adam softly and long, feeling very difficult to speak and convey.

Ardhita and Reizvan turned back and looked at each other at the same time. Although already know before from Mr. Irawan directly, it feels back very shocked and surprised. Hearing it again from others who were also very dear, like two heart-pounding sledgehammers in each chest.
