Kancil Trio

CHAPTER 37

"What is this?", Ja'far who first reached the front porch asked what was going on there.

" I'm sorry Om. Arga just wanted to meet with Cantika ", said the man whose body was being held.

" Am Arga ??? What is this, noisily ?! ", Cantika was surprised to see Arga who was standing there with the body held by Aria.

" Cantika, Mas wants to meet and talk to you!", Arga pleaded.

     Cantika looks confused how to behave. When everyone was there, shut up and watched. Cantika did not inform or invite Arga to her application. For fear of making Arga hurt or making himself waver. It turns out that his decision was wrong. Want to tell or not, it will still make Arga hurt. Just as she was injured, when Arga was engaged to Anggit.

Ja'far saw the confused face of Cantika finally acting first.

" Come in, and speak well - well ", take Ja'far.

     And now Arga can talk to Cantika accompanied by his Uncle Ja'far. And Alex as her future husband.

" Cantika why are you doing this "asked Arga who was sitting opposite Cantika.

" Mum loves you so much, Cantika. Didn't you say you were going to wait ? At the moment Mas is trying to thwart this engagement and it won't be long. Papi also actually does not want to give his blessing to our relationship for marriage. But because there is something that cannot be explained, so Papi continues to refuse, when Arga asks for his blessing to ask you. Will you be patient waiting for me ? And we're getting married, "Arga said really.

     Just answer Arga's questions, provoke Alex's anger again. But Ja'far calmed him down. And ask Arga to finish his business with Cantika. Because they are both witnesses so that there is no slander or other unwanted things.

" Cantika just wants to build a future with people who can bring happiness to me and the children ", 

     Cantika's answer made Alex's heart soar. It turns out that Cantika believes that she can make him happy with his children.

" But I can also make you live happily ", 

" Yes, Cantika knows. Mas Arga always tried to do our best to make us happy ", Cantika took a breath for a moment.

" But Mas Arga can not give clarity to our relationship, want to be taken in which direction ?!"

" Cantika does not want to be labeled a woman. As Cantika was well-deserved in building the household ", Cantika's tears fell slid down her smooth cheeks. Remembering the scorn of his brother first because he never visited by Arga.

" Extremely Alex is the father of children. And he wants to live with us to be one family ".

" Cantika, Mas did all this to protect you and the kids. Mas don't want to lose you ", Arga still gives the same reason to Cantika. That is to protect him.

" Now you don't have to do that. Because from now on it is my duty to protect them ", Alex said as he stared intently at Arga.

" Do you know who you're going to face ?" asked Arga as if doubting Alex's ability.

" yes. No matter who they are, I will face them ", Alex replied there was no doubt about him.

     Ja'far, who had been listening to their conversation, did not understand what they meant.

" It might even threaten your life and their lives ?" Arga warns Alex.

" I'm going to risk my life to protect the people I love" Alex confirmed the answer.

" Cantika now you're tied to Alex. Better reiterate your relationship now with the two of them ",

" And as for the two of you, respect whatever Cantika's decision is ", Ja'far mediates them.

Hearing that Alex felt very happy, wanted it to feel like he hugged Cantika tightly.

" So with this it's clear, yes. Arga accepted Cantika's decision, with the soul of a knight ", Ja'far ended the meeting.

" Arga take it easy, I will take care of them even if I have to risk my life once" Alex said.

 

This conversation eventually ended with Arga's willingness to release Cantika. Because he knew Alex would really take care of him.

     As they disperse, Ja'far pulls Arga, into the guest room. And began to interrogate him. Inevitably Arga finally told him what became his secret. Ja'far was shocked to hear Arga's story. As well as the reason why in the past, Arga's Papi always refused to give their blessing to both of them. He didn't know there was such an incident.

     The night ended at midnight. All the guests have gone home, either from Alex's family or Cantika's relatives. Now live Ja'far family whose plan is still to stay at home Cantika. Chistina is also the one who used to stay and sleep in the room Gaya. Ja'far silently called Alex and Arthur to discuss the matter he had stopped with Arga. And the plan is tomorrow they'll meet.

                 * * * * * * *

     After the guests dispersed, Cantika sat pensively by the window of her room. He could not sleep, thinking of Arga's words.

" What does Mas Arga mean to talk like that, huh ?"

" Is there anyone who hates me and wants to hurt me and my children ?"

" But who ?"

" What, Take it ?"

" If Anggit, why does Mas Arga feel so scared ?"

     Cantika kept thinking about some possibilities that made her hate others. Even though he felt he had no enemies.

     The clock on the wall had hit one in the morning. Cantika just laid her body on the mattress and began to sleep.

     In his dream Cantika saw his father and mother talking in the garden in front of his house. They were talking about his birthday which will be held soon. The plan, the show is just eating - eating with the whole family.

     Then the picture in his dream changed with the arrival of an ambulance that delivered the bodies of his mother and father who had been stiffened. Cantika wept roaring - roaring and it carried over to her real life.

     Mentari, Chistina and Gaya try to wake Cantika who is crying in her dream. Cantika awoke from her nightmare.

" What's up ? You had a nightmare ? " Task Style.

" This drink first", Mentari gave one glass of water to Cantika.

" Yes, I dreamt of both my parents. I remember the moment they returned from Surabaya, came has become the corpse of "Cantika sobbing to remember the events of a dozen years ago.

" That was probably because Om Arthur was talking about Om Yusuf" Mentari said.

" Let's go to sleep again. You have to rest a lot, because since your morning your energy is squeezed continuously "Style of laying down Cantika's body.

" Let's go with Mbak to bed" Mentari slept next to Cantika.
