Meeting Point

Oma, Opa, Asthma's sister

Reuniting with Oma and Opa, is both happiness and sadness. Glad that after so long, we finally got to meet again. But sad because, now Azka their grandson has gone for good. Also now, Aretha knew how her position in the aunt Lia family was. Aretha was the child who never wanted her presence, also the child who was the cause of the destruction of two families.

In the evening at 20:00 AM local time, Aretha and brother Rama and father came together to the airport. They came to pick up Oma and Opa, as well as the future wife of brother Rama who will coincidentally arrive simultaneously. The arrival of Oma and Opa, obviously to find the whereabouts of the body of Azka who died in the accident of the water eagle plane. The plan, Oma and Opa will participate in the search process, because no matter how many agents are hired, no one finds a clue.

Meanwhile, brother Rama's girlfriend came to meet with Dad and Aretha. Although the father had met the family of the future wife of Rama, but Aretha had never met him. So, her arrival was specifically intended to get to know and be close to Aretha-the sister of her future husband.

"sister's girlfriend, what time is she?" ask Aretha curiously.

"half an hour later, if Oma and Opa are any minute away" replied Rama, the man glanced at his watch at a glance, before returning to focus on eating the food he had bought earlier on the road, because he didn't have dinner.

"Both brother's girlfriend?" Ask Aretha while taking part in the snack she had bought before leaving for the airport.

"Good, pretty too. You must like her"

Aretha lowered her head, sighing deeply. "Hopefully, brother, hopefully he likes Are" he said while staring at Kak Rama.

Rama stopped eating his Padang rice, then looked carefully at Aretha "deck, he must like you. It is precisely your brother who is worried about you who does not like him" Gently, Rama stroked Aretha's head slowly.

"I would have liked it, brother. Whoever your sister chooses, I will definitely like" Aretha said.

"Daddy, if you don't like him. If he is evil with you, or rude with you. Don't hesitate to say it to your sister, because you won't hesitate to stay with her"

Aretha shook her head, she gently stroked her brother's hand "no brother, I want you to be happy. If he can make you happy, you have to defend him. Don't ever stay with him, just because I don't fit him. I want my brother to live happily"

Several minutes Rama was silent listening to Aretha's words, several times he exhaled deeply to calm his feelings "deck, brother did not want the events in the past to repeat. Brother doesn't want to leave you again, you brother sister. It's appropriate for brother to take care of you, brother does not want the events in the past to happen again. Brother apologized for all the attitude of brother first, sorry for closing your eyes and letting you get hurt. Now, you are the priority of brother. You will never lose you, just because of a woman. If he's not good with you, he's not good for you"

Until now, Rama regretted all his choices in the past. He regretted having turned a blind eye and allowed Aretha to be tortured by her stepmother. Now, Rama has a second chance to change, he will never let events in the past repeat themselves. Rama loved Asma, he loved his future wife. However, if Asma is unable to treat Aretha like her own sister. If Asma was rude to Aretha, let alone physically harming her sister. Rama would not hesitate to leave him. Because right now, Aretha is his priority.

For Rama, Aretha was not only a sister, but the world and everything in it. The world he had left behind, the world he had forgotten his presence. Now, never once would he leave his beloved sister.

"Sister, all this time brother has suffered enough, brother has given up everything for Are. So, Are hope that you now pay attention to your happiness. Never leave him, just because Are has a problem with him. Brother, must be happy. You have to build a house in which there is warmth. A house we never got before. That's Are's only request to Brother"

Aretha had now grown up, her sister had now understood everything. It is like rain that wets the earth. All Aretha's words were able to make Rama shed his tears. In the warm embrace, Rama hoped Aretha lived happily. He hoped that his sister would be able to let go of all the burdens that he had been carrying for a long time.

"Oma.." call Aretha when she sees Oma and Opa walking by dragging their suitcases.

Oma and Opa, who heard Aretha's call, finally walked up to the girl.

"Thank God, you're in good health?"

Aretha nodded her head saying "alhamdulillah healthy Oma" he replied.

The middle-aged woman, looking at Aretha's appearance from top to bottom. Afterwards, she hugged Aretha tightly while gently rubbing her back.

"Maafin Are Oma" Aretha said, replying to Oma's embrace.

"Suttt, no papa. This is not your fault, son, this is already a path that is destined by God" replied Oma.

For this time, Aretha was determined not to cry and shed her tears again. This time, he wanted to comfort Oma and Opa who had lost their beloved granddaughter.

"No progress yet?" Ask Opa to Bani.

Bani shook her head "yet. But I have added people who will look for the whereabouts of Azka's body" he replied.

Oma breathed deeply. "If you haven't met by the end of the month. We end the search for Azka, maybe there is a place allowed by Allah SWT, to bury Azka" Oma said after releasing her embrace to Aretha.

"But oma...."

Until now, the search for Azka's body is still carried out. Abi and Umi's men. Also, the men of Dad, Oma and Opa are still working hard to find Azka's body.

However, if they give up and decide to stop their captors. Honestly, Aretha disagreed. He still hopes Azka's body can be found, as the bodies of other victims who have now been buried properly.

Oma looked at the clingy Aretha, as she rubbed the girl's arm slowly "son, we must renounce Azka. If indeed his corpse was hard to find, it might be the best place for Oma's granddaughter to rest. We, we have to let him go, son"

Until finally, Aretha was unable to refute whatever was Oma's command. Because basically, everyone must want the best for their loved ones. But if God's will is different from what we want, what can we do?

And again, Aretha did not have any power to refute Oma's orders. He did not have enough treasure to hire the person in charge of searching for Azka's whereabouts.

"Alright Oma" he said give up.

Afterwards, they left the airport after the future wife of brother Rama arrived 10 minutes after the arrival of Oma and Opa. Not a single word came out of Aretha's mouth. He only listened intently to Oma and Opa's talk with Rama's father and brother.

If there is a miracle. I really hope you survive and are still alive. It's impossible, but I'm really a miracle it's real.
