Loving You In The Dark

Togetherness

Arkan expresses his intention to marry Amanda, to Oma.

Oma was daydreaming on the rocking chair, this house felt lonely without the presence of Gea and Geo.

There was no more joy, no more laughter and the sound of their crying, slowly Oma let out her tears, she felt longing for Amira and the twins.

Arkan approached Oma, and sat down beside her.

Seeing Arkan coming, Oma instantly wiped away her tears.

"Oma, since Arkan and Dyah's marriage was annulled, Arkan wanted to marry another girl named Amanda, "Arkan.

"Ha, is she a respectable girl?" ask Oma cynically.

"Oma, of course, Arkan also did not want to choose a girl carelessly for Arkan editing as a wife." Arkanese.

"I mean Oma, is she of the same level, or at least like Dyah, "

"She's just an ordinary girl, from a simple family, but Arkan is sure she's a good girl" Arkan said.

"Areally Arkan ? if you think it's okay to do it, Oma won't stand in your way, Oma is old, most importantly you're happy, Oma has lost Amira, and Oma doesn't want your shrewdness anymore," said the sad Oma, there were drops of water flowing through his wrinkled skin.

"Oma, Oma didn't lose Amira and Oma's great-grandson, they were there, they missed Oma too" he said, staring into Oma's eyes.

"Arkan, Oma misses them so much, why doesn't Amira come here, because of the man, she forgot about this family ?" ask her while crying sadly.

"Oma, Amira also misses Oma, she also misses this family very much, only, Amira is afraid that Oma will refuse her presence," Arkan explained.

"But Amira, she had changed a lot after she knew Dion, Amira preferred her new family over this one, who had raised and given her affection, from the moment he was born until he became an adult, "the Oma said, he was so sad that he cried sobbing.

"Oma, Amira is still the old Amira, only she is now an adult, she can choose which is best for her and can make her happy, Dion and Amira love each other, they already have children, they have children, moreover, Amira is pregnant now, so we can not separate them, why do not we let their relationship, and accept Dion as part of our extended family Oma, " continued Arkan.

"How is it possible, we and he are different, we are descendants of blue blood, descendants of Ningrat, while they are just ordinary people, and how can we carry out our descendants, the descendants, if the woman in our family is married to an ordinary person, then her noble blood will not be inherited" Oma said.

"Oma, it's just our ancestral tradition, at that time they didn't know the meaning of equality, the meaning of pancasila, we're the same as humans, how we can feel our higher degrees, how we can feel, and other people are lower in degree, who we can judge everything, while God alone never discriminates his creatures, except based on their respective practices," explained Arkan.

For a moment Oma pondered over the words of her grandson.

"Alright Arkan, bring him to meet Oma," he got out of his chair.

"And one more Arkan, tell Amira, Oma misses him and the twins very much," added Oma again, he went into her room.

Arkan smiled at Oma, as if he had succeeded in advising Oma.

***

Arkan had been waiting at the airport to pick up his parents who had arrived from Germany, this time he took Amanda with him.

Amanda was so beautiful, her face in thin makeup, with soft pink lipstick.

Amanda was very nervous, she did not really know her future husband, but from the words and actions, Amanda was very sure, if Arkan was a good man.

"Amanda you're okay, right?" ask Arkan, 'cause he saw Amanda just shut up.

"Yes, I'm fine" he replied with a smile at Arkan.

"You're nervous, huh? because I'm going to meet my parents" she asked again.

"Yes, "His answer.

"Amanda you should know, before this I was engaged and almost married, but all failed, because someone had slandered me, with the accusation of having impregnated him, finally my lover left me, my lover, and it should be another week we're getting married" Arkan said honestly.

"So that's why Mas, you want to marry me, just to be your surrogate successor Mas," he said with a disappointed vibra.

"You misunderstood Amanda, I wanted to marry you, not because I was going to be you as your substitute, but I wanted to make your wish come true, to get married" Arkan replied.

"To my liking? Do you know where it is?" ask Amanda wonder.

"Sorry before, Amira and I had a bad time reading your diary, we didn't mean anything, Amira just wanted to prove that you and Dion had nothing to do, even if you loved her and wanted her so much," open Arkan.

Amanda bowed in shame, slowly she shed her tears.

Seeing Amanda like that, Arkan grabbed her hand and grasped it tightly.

"Look at Amanda, I can accept you for who you are, learn to love me from now on, because I will learn to love you with all your shortcomings, I will never upload your feelings of love for him, which pass let it pass, we open a new page together" Arkan said.

Amanda was so moved, she was increasingly convinced that her future husband was a good man, even she still accepted his shortcomings, Amanda cried, immediately she hugged Arkan who was driving beside her, there Amanda spilled all her feelings, crying in Arkan's arms.

With tenderness Arkan rubbed his head, and at that time Amanda was more moved, because only this time, feeling happy, he felt so loved and loved, even though he knew, he felt so loved, Arkan did not necessarily love him, but seeing his sikaf, Amanda was happy, finally he now found a sturdy shoulder for him to lean from the fragility of his body.

Seeing Amanda cry, Arkan immediately wiped away her tears.

"No need to cry Amanda, my parents will see you, if you are not happy with me" he said.

Amanda smiled and wiped her tears.

"Where may I not be happy, if you get a prospective husband as good as yourself, even you are too good for me," he said with a happy smile.

"Then promise me you'll never cry in front of me again" she said.

Amanda smiled and nodded, and she put her body on Arkan's shoulder.

They feel happy, even though they have never known before, but now they feel comfortable together.
