Last Mate

281. Must Be Delayed

Farewell must happen. Aska, Jingga, Abdalla, Ahlam Arfan and Balqis they have to return to Singapore. The place where Aska must struggle to stabilize a large company that will later become his. A sacrifice that will surely produce great happiness. Not for now but for the future.

This time Gavin escorted his uncle and his aunt and four cousins to the airport. Their faces seem ordinary, but their hearts are grieved together, they hold back tears because they don't want adults to know what their hearts really are. Especially Gavin, the boy kind of put up a warning on him haram to cry.

The novelty is almost created but Aska is able to hold back. Aska did not want both her parents and her family to be sad again. He wants to learn to get used to being away from family.

"Adek was only in Singapore two hours also arrived," he said. Ayanda nodded, she was forbidden to cry by her husband.

"Don't make Aska heavier like carrying a load on the shoulder. Let him go, take responsibility for his family. Being born into a rich family does not mean you have to be spoiled. Everyone has to work hard because no human being is immediately successful. Everyone has to fight from zero."

The four Aska children looked very strong. They held back crying as if they were used to it. They also strengthen themselves when they do farewell to their cousin, namely Gavin.

"Mas, promise ... Mas will look at you there." Now it's Gavin's turn to promise four of Aska's children.

Gavin's deep sadness was felt when his four cousins began boarding the plane that had picked them up. The wave of their hands made Gavin's heart cry even harder.

.

Slowly as time went on, the Aska family began to get used to living in Singapore. Weeks change, Sundays change and months change. It doesn't feel like they've been in Singapore for exactly four years. The four sons of Aska and Jingga were already shouting happily when their union in Singapore was over.

"Yeah! We're back in Jakarta!" How enthusiastic the four Aska children were. Especially Arfan.

Aska's four children's happiness stopped when the father entered the room. His father's face looked very sad and the four of them looked at each other. They felt something had happened.

"What's up, Dad?" tanya Abdalla, the child who was born first among her three twin brothers.

"I'm sorry, Dad." The sentence that made the hearts of the four of them change instantly. "Father's time in Singapore was extended again by another two to three years."

They were smiling, but that smile was not a smile of happiness. Except the smile of sadness.

"Yes already. We're not going to put our clothes in the suitcase." Balqis spoke very softly. Also in a very weak tone, signifying that he was disappointed.

"That's an order from Pipo and Uncle, too" he explained.

Her four children nodded. They do not want to discuss their return to Jakarta which must be postponed again.

"Yes, it's okay, Dad. We understand" said Ahlam, the smiling child.

Arfan was also smiling, but his heart was screaming very irritated. Sometimes he blamed his grandfather and his uncle. However, he also sometimes thought that this company would later become his father's property, and would also go down to his children. One of them is himself. So he has to support his father.

Ahlam and Arfan were sitting under a shady tree in front of the house of Aska and Jingga. Ahlam was looking at the blue sky while Arfan was leaning against the trunk of a large tree. They are daydreaming. Their bodies are in Singapore, but their souls are in Jakarta.

I'm tired of it, Bang," he lamented. "Until when do I have to keep pretending like this?" The sister complained, letting out what she was feeling. Ahlam smiled and felt the same way as Arfan.

"Until When?" saith. "After two years it will definitely increase again. Most likely we'll stay here." Arfan was already getting frustrated with a promise he never made. The promise her father always denied.

"Can be. Strengthen your heart Pang-pang." Ahlam mene patted Arfan's shoulder with a smile.

"What else should you be strong for, Bang? Iron man," he replied. Thank God the laughter heard the words of the younger brother.

The petakilan and the troublemaker had long held back what he wanted to do. Arfan became someone else because he didn't want to see his mother exhausted by her actions. He wanted to be like a bird flying in the sky, flying freely across the clouds.

"I want to fly freely in space," nature booed as Ahlam sang the Doraemon soundtrack.

"Hey the marinade." They also laugh. Ahlam and Arfan are indeed one server they are the type of people who do not want to be silent and also like to joke. Unlike the case with the brother who is always serious and also cold to see him smile may be very rare.

In the room Abdalla and Balqis were studying. Balqis was out of focus, her mind was wandering somewhere. Abdalla rebuked him, Balqis smiled. Then do the job again.

"Why are you, Dek?" ask Abdalla. Balqis did not answer only the look in her eyes that revealed what was being felt.

Abdalla could only gently rub the top of his sister's hair. He gives calm. But her sister was crying. Hugged his body so tightly.

"Prophey, Deck." Only that sentence was capable of Abdalla saying.

"Adek wants to play with Ghea's brother, Mas," he said so softly. His voice is heavy

"We pray that Dad's company stabilizes quickly and we can go back there again. Balqis nodded.

Empar children are great and able to dampen their feelings. They strengthen each other so as not to show their fragility to both parents. They don't want to see the mother cry. Nor do they want to add to the burden of the father's mind. They knew his father was fighting for their future.

They also often see their mother come out of the room with red eyes. They didn't ask, but they knew what was going on with the Mother's heart. From there the four of them promised never to make their Mother troubled to take care of the four of them. They must cover their ugliness for each other. They have to protect each other, and they have to protect each other. Balqis is his only daughter. His three brothers took care of Balqis.

Once Balqis was bullied because Balqis images were so bad that her sister cried. Arfan the troublemaker who came forward to protect his sister. He pushed the body of the boy who bullied Balqis until the boy's forehead was bleeding, and had to be stitched up in the hospital. When the teacher called Father and his mother, Arfan faced it with great courage. When his teacher explained what was Arfan's mistake he admitted. However, he also dared to reveal what the reason was pushing the boy's body. The boy explained clearly and in accordance with what happened. Not adding, or reducing. Arfan did not matter if his actions would make both parents angry.

"Sorry." Arfan lowered his head as his parents walked out of the teacher room.

This is the first time that both of his parents have been called to the school. Both of his parents will be angry. Especially seeing the face of the father who looks so tired.

"Father and Mother can hit Brother. Can be angry, Brother. Brother will accept. Brother was wrong, made the boy wretched."

"Who taught you naughty?" the father's voice sounded very angry.

"Nothing, Dad. Brother just wants to protect Aqis. Sister doesn't want to see sister dibully. Especially to cry. Brother will be at the very front of the line to defend him. Whatever the risk will be faced because the father and mother once said, as a brother should be able to protect his sisters. That's what you did to Aqis."
