Is this my Line of Destiny?
(IGT) CHAPTER 77
"Sorry," said Saga as she let go of the touch of her hand holding Alexa's slim waist.
"It's okay," said Alexa who also released her hand grip on the back of Saga, reflexively he held the back of Saga when she was about to fall, likewise with Saga which also reflexively supports the body of Alexa by holding her waist so as not to fall.
The two of them both hid a smile on their faces, looking so timid to each other.
While Grandpa Syarifuddin who has finished giving his knowledge to the students and santriwati, was happy when he saw Pak Hendra who was busy playing with Sakti.
"Assalamu'alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh," Grandpa Syarifuddin gave his greeting as he was about to enter his ndalem.
"Wa'alaikumussalam," Mr. Hendra replied to Grandpa Syarifuddin's greeting.
Then Mr. Hendra stood up to welcome the arrival of Grandpa Syarifuddin who looked very authoritative and wise, it felt very cool when Mr. Hendra looked at the face that was wrinkled because it was eaten by age, but looked radiant.
"You who?" asked Grandpa Syarifuddin who had never known Mr. Hendra at all.
"I'm Hendra's father Tiara and Alexa" replied Mr. Hendra introduced himself.
"Bah Kung, this is my Grandfather" Sakti said by holding the hand of Mr. Hendra, the boy seemed very happy. Evidently with a carefree smile that appeared on his lips.
"Yes, are you happy to play with your Grandpa?"
"Yes dong,"
After answering questions from Grandpa Syarifuddin Sakti was immediately playing back in its original place, leaving Pak Hendra and Grandpa Syarifuddin who had been sitting on the sofa. The two of them were talking about getting to know each other.
"I represent my daughter, Tiara, would like to apologize for all her behavior that might have made Nak Saga and Pak Kyai feel upset and angry." mr. Hendra said with a sense of shame over his daughter's behavior.
"Don't call me Mr. Kyai, just call Mr. Syarifuddin," Grandpa Syarifudin refused to be called Mr. Kyai.
Indeed, that is the manner of Grandpa Syarifuddin, he always humbled himself. There was never one in his daily behavior that showed pride or high-heartedness.
And often from the santri who call him 'Abah' and there are also some of them who still call him as Pak Kyai.
"Yes, Mr. Syarifuddin," said Mr. Hendra who complied with Grandpa Syarifuddin's request.
"I don't think anyone needs to apologize or be forgiven, then let it pass, now how can we stay in harmony and still love each other."
mr. Hendra was silent, he tried to absorb all Grandpa Syarifuddin's speech.
"Only one thing I want, that is, to live fully in family and love each other." said Grandpa Syarifuddin.
Mr. Hendra nodded in agreement with Grandpa Syarifuddin.
Shortly afterwards there was a voice of people who were joking from the outside, it sounded very fun. Apparently Saga and Alexa who have returned from the ndalem page and look at the condition of the boarding house.
Saga and Alexa said a greeting which was then answered by Syarifuddin and Pak Hendra's grandfather.
"Is he Alexa?" asked Grandpa Syarifuddin while pointing at Alexa who was standing behind Saga.
"Yes Grandpa, I'm Alexa." replied Alexa by kissing the back of Grandpa Syarifuddin's hand.
"You are a beautiful woman" Grandpa Syarifuddin praised Alexa who smiled sweetly. Increasing her beauty.
"Grandfather could have," Alexa blushed in shame when Grandpa Syarifuddin praised her.
Hearing that made Saga smile, he felt happy that his woman was praised by his own grandfather.
Grandpa Syarifuddin himself very regret the divorce that occurred between them, because according to him they are both a very harmonious couple.
"Do you have any plans to refer?" suddenly, Grandpa Syarifuddin shifted the conversation to lead to the relationship of Saga and Alexa.
Hearing the question from Grandpa Syarifuddin made Saga flabbergasted and glanced at Alexa who also glanced at him, and all that could not be separated from the attention of Grandpa Syarifuddin.
"The saga?" Grandfather Syarifuddin called out his grandson's name as if to ask but not be spoken.
"Alexa, Saga, if indeed you want to refer Father will support you" said Mr. Hendra appealed to Grandpa Syarifuddin.
"But Father–," Alexa could not continue her words because at the time of her engagement with Ricard, her father was not invited.
Alexa felt his tongue as if he were a mute, if he said it, Alexa worried that would make the feelings of his father who is the only parent he has in this world, become hurt.
"No cake! We can't go back!" and Saga's speech really really makes Pak Hendra and Grandpa Syarifuddin surprised.
"Grandfather notice you still have the same feelings, you still love each other,"
"Why?"
Saga glanced at Alexa at a glance, as if he wanted to ask permission to convey something to the two people, Alexa nodded.
"Because Alexa is officially engaged to my best friend" Saga continued to explain why she refused.
"What's? Engaged? why Alexa, why aren't you informed about this?" Mr. Hendra was surprised and disappointed, should as a father, he has the right to know whatever happened to his daughter.
"Sorry, Dad, this is all a decision from Eyang. I can't do anything" replied Alexa who could feel the disappointment her father was feeling at the time.
"Sir Hendra, sorry earlier if I was presumptuous, actually I was also present at the engagement event, even I became a witness," Saga sighed for a while.
"So, Alexa is innocent because she also has the right to choose her own happiness." continued Saga who then lowered her head.
Alexa ventured to stare at Saga, the man she still loved so much. Alexa can also feel a sense of the same as what is being felt by Saga. However, he can do nothing but live it first and ascertain whether between himself and Ricard there is a match or not.
"But it's not all that easy to imagine, the Ricard family especially his father felt very objected to my social status," said Alexa who then made Saga look back at him.
"I'm sorry, not only in our marriage, I made you suffer but when we parted I still made you feel the same way" Saga said with regret.
Hearing Saga's words that seemed filled with regret made Alexa intend to be frank about her relationship with Ricard.
"really?" the question sentence that Saga uttered with a smile on her lips that seemed to have hope for her love. After listening to Alexa's story from beginning to end.
Likewise with Grandpa Syarifuddin and Pak Hendra, they also pray that Alexa will return to match with Saga, and hopefully Ricard will get another soul mate.
Meanwhile, Rian, who had just set foot on the motherland, immediately entered the boarding school.
Do not ask where Rian got the ticket to go home, because since Raisya sold the mansion and his company he never again received a transfer from his stepbrother.
So Alexa is the one who helps him by transferring money in small amounts, not without reason Alexa does it, he said, because he felt very concerned about the fate of Sakti who had been ignored by his mother again.
Alexa hopes that maybe with the presence of Rian will make Sakti's life more colorful, but of course with an agreement that he has agreed with Rian on the phone.
Feeling like someone was watching Pondok Pesantren, one of the students shouted at Rian.
"Maling–, maling–, maling–!" santri shouted while running towards Rian who was surprised to get a shout of muting.
Sontak Rian immediately ran with all his might to leave Pondok Pesantren, but because of the number of santri who came in pursuit made Rian easily encircled by the santri.
Hearing there was a storm in the street, suddenly made Grandpa Syarifuddin and Pak Hendra immediately rushed to the santri who were landing some blows.
BUGH
BUGH
BUGH
While the punch was still whack on his body, until at last the sound of someone who was very authoritative, who else if not Grandpa Syarifuddin.
Sontak made the santri stop throwing punches, they were all silent while getting a very unsheathed look from Grandpa Syarifuddin.
"Who taught you to play judge by yourself?" Grandfather Syarifuddin asked in a fairly loud voice, so that made the students who had been very eager to beat Rian shrieked instantly.
There was no answer from the students, the atmosphere of silence was instantaneous only the sound of Rian complaining in pain.
"Oh.. My body crumpled all," Rian tried to get up from his place.
"Dian!" saga exclaimed when she heard the voice of her half sister, then Saga immediately reached out her hand and helped Rian to stand up.
Hearing Rian's name being mentioned, the santri lowered their heads even more. Because they know for sure that their actions are wrong. Previously they had heard the name Rian from the story of Saga and Grandpa Syarifuddin a moment ago.
"Pardon us, we have wrongly guessed," one of the students involved in the mass action ventured to apologize to Rian who was moaning in pain.
"That's okay, it's also my fault that makes you think of me like that" said Rian, yes indeed the behavior is very suspicious, so it's natural that the santri think of himself as a thief, because Rian was sneaking into the pesantren cottage area, but all he did was to make sure that it was his address.
"Saga, quickly bring your sister inside, and for you to clean the WC with your hands, never try to use a brush or anything!" grandfather Syarifuddin's orders were serious.
"Good cake," said Saga and then memapah Rian to ndalem.
Without waiting for anything else, the students immediately rushed to the bathroom to clean the WC. With great sincerity they served that punishment.
There was no grievance coming out of their mouths but only a smile rising on the lips of each santri. I don't know why they feel good about the punishment.
