Just A Wedding

Just A Wedding
Chapter 71



He was standing in the front yard when we arrived. His tired and anxious face looked somewhat calm but returned to the gloomy bluntness. My father's net is flushed, probably not sleeping all night thinking of us. I feel very guilty seeing him in this situation.


" I'm sorry father, Madam Arin last night could not go home because in the peak area of heavy rain. I forbid going home. When the rain subsides Brother Arin overslept. I can't bear to wake up because Mbak Arin looks good. " Long series of explanations Henry was unable to make the father calm. He was just a mangosteen - a mangosteen.


" Ko Henry, thank you for driving Arin. But please don't repeat it again next time. Arin's married and has a son." Speak to you after a long time of silence.


I dare not move from my seat. There was an argument between Henry and Dad. There was no sound of Tough crying and Thavisa made me feel calm. Maybe they were asleep or at my sister's house. I'm still sitting here making sure you and Henry are okay.


" I beg you to believe in me and Mrs Arin. Nothing happened between me and Arin. I respect Ms. Arin and her Marriage."


" But ......"


," Please, I trust Ms. Arin. If you don't believe me. "Henry's voice this time is very firm but low emphasis cut the sentence you will say. "


" But.." said the father again. This time I cut out the words of my father.


" Sir.please do not extend. I just fell asleep there. Henry, please go home ! Isn't the event at the Villa at eight in the morning ? "


" Uh.....Oh.....I.." Henry looked very nervous and unwell at the attitude of the father shown to Henry this morning.


," Henry go home ! now it's seven and a half" I repeated asking Henry to leave my house immediately.


," Well.well, '" Henry stood up from his seat near the father and kissed the back of his hand.


," Father please do not rebuke Ms. Arin. I was wrong not to let Ms. Arin go home last night. Please, trust us. " Said Henry again begging you.


The face of the Father remained stiff and sculpted as if he did not know what to say. Every now and then, he frowned and scolded her. I feel guilty for my father. Because of my mistake sleeping at Villa Henry made a thought for you.


," I'm sorry Arin sir. Arin is so sorry. Are you disappointed with Arin ? " i saw a father who kept silent without a word.


," Sir.....What is Tough and Thavisa at home in Arsita ? " Tanyaku as he stepped into the room. He just shook his head slowly. I don't know what Father meant.


," I'm going to Arsita's house, take Tough and Thavisa," I'm going to go back. He was blocking me with his hands.


," Your children are not in Arsita's house" said the father in a very discordant voice. I can't believe the joke I thought was not a joke this time. I know you're so mad at me for staying at Henry's.


," Father do not joke, if not at home in Arsita what is it at the house of Madam Ayunda ? I asked anxiously and nervously because of the words of the father who said my children were not at my sister Arsita's house.


The words of my father stopped my steps that had gone from the living room and was about to step onto the terrace of my house. I turned my back to the father behind me. Like this house collapsed, not just this house, but this world collapsed with the words of the father's news that he spoke very clearly, as clearly as I saw the father who was in front of me.


," That's impossible sir, that's not possible" I said in disbelief. " Please ! You're just mad at me for staying at Villa Henry ? You're just angry, right ? Can't it be that Mr Satrio and Mrs Elly came here ?" I asked in astonishment - dumbstruck in disbelief. My morning changed immediately in the evening. I sat down and didn't believe my father's words.


," Your husband came last night and this morning at five. He immediately brought Tangguh and Thavisa. I tried to prevent it, but I couldn't. Your husband says he has more right than you, "sadly explained.


," Why did Mr Satrio come for ? Doesn't he not care about me and my children ? What did he come for ? For what ?," I shouted with my hands clasped and hit the floor. My tears broke the hustle and bustle this morning. Then passers-by who look at me, I don't care. I just kept roaring crazily calling out the names Tangguh and Thavisa.


," I tried to call you but kept disconnected, I sent a message through Wastapp," he said. I opened the bag that was still on my shoulder. Pick up your phone and see incoming messages. There were a lot of calls and messages coming in from my father. O God, what more trials have you given me. Is it too wrong ? I did not accidentally stay at Villa Henry, I did not intend to stay there. Why did the reply make me so sick and lost control ?


," I'll take Tough and Thavisa. I'll follow you to Mr. Satrio's house" I said. I stood up from the floor where I rested. I strengthened my body that was too weak to hear Tough and Thavisa taken by Mr. Satrio. I quickly stepped into my room to retrieve the stash money that was in my closet. Last night, I didn't bring any more money just a couple of twenties just to keep watch during the trip to Villa Henry.


My room was a mess, my clothes were lying on the bed a lot. The letters that Henry used to send me were scattered. Henry used to send me letters making me poems or giving pictures of us. Although now the digital age, but Henry still often send me letters and pictures that he drew himself. My photos with Henry were torn apart - torn pieces strewn with the paper tearing that was also strewn on the floor of my room. I'm not really questioning this right now. I quickly took the money in the closet drawer and exited the room.


" Sir, please give your permission. Arin wants to pick up Tangguh and Thavisa." My pamphlets to you.


," Arin, you better call your husband first. Maybe there is a middle ground ? " say father's advice to me. I shook my head quickly.


" He won't take my phone call, sir, Arin already understands Mr. Satrio's nature."


" What is father ? " he tried to offer me help.


" No sir, let Arin alone. Arin must be able to be alone and bring home Tough and Thavisa. They're Arin's kids ,"


" Well, if it's like that. I can only help you with my blessing and prayers,"


I hugged my father loudly and cried. If you knew, now to stand on my own feet I could not. But I have to be strong. I don't want Mr. Satrio to bring my children, Tough and Thavisa. During my pregnancy, Mr. Satrio did not accompany me much. When I gave birth she would not take me and wait for me while in the hospital. And now.he did what he wanted, took my children.
