My Only One's

The atmosphere felt quite tense for two people who were in the spotlight that afternoon, especially Galang. Who immediately took her parents to the hospital after the night before she called them and told them about her conversation with Arfan and Amara.

"We were just a little surprised sir. After the beating incident, every time Galang called it was always a worry. Afraid of anything happening to our son." Arif started the conversation a little seriously.

"Yes, it was enough to panic everyone. What's after Ara was also an accident." Arfan answered.

"Yes, right."

"So, I mean to ask you and Mom to come is to talk about children's problems" Arfan said later, straight to the point.

"Yes sir, that is also our goal."

Arfan was silent for a while, and he glanced at Galang at a glance.

"We already knew about Ara and Galang's relationship. Even before that there was talk before, but we didn't think it would be this fast." Arif spoke again.

"Right, me too." Arfan.

"So how good is it according to Mr. Arfan? If we as parents will just follow the will of the children. If it's the best, then I think it should be done."

Galang felt the heat as well as the cold attacking him simultaneously. And he started sweating too. It felt even more stressful than when Arfan educated him early in his career as an assistant for Dimitri.

"Actually we just want to make sure if this relationship is known by the families of both parties, so that everything is clear and there are no misunderstandings. Because Galang said if he was really serious with my son." Arfan answered, and occasionally he glanced again at Galang.

"You don't have to worry, we know everything."

"That's quite a relief sir." Arfan chuckled a little.

"So, after this what step should we take? Because they were already this close, despite breaking up and parting quite a distance, but there seems to be no reason for us to stand in the way." Arif answered again.

"Do you agree with their relationship?" Arfan began to ask.

"On that we just follow Galang's will, if he really wants to be with Ara, then that's what we will follow."

Arfan nodded his head.

"But Ara is sick." Mytha suddenly replied.

Everyone's attention immediately turned to him.

"She might be a little troublesome, what else if she would do something." continued Mytha, staring at the faces of the three people in front of her.

"And if you had really married her, she would have greatly troubled you with all her needs. You must always help him in all matters, even the most trivial." Then he stared at Galang for quite a while.

"Mytha?" Arfan tried to stop his ex-wife, while Dygta behind clasped the child's hand.

"Your life will be hampered, because you have to take care of everything for her. Alone." He raised his hand to signal.

"And you both will have a daughter-in-law who can't do anything, at least in the early years of marriage maybe she will also be difficult. Your child should do everything for him. Unable to take care of her husband, unable to carry out her duties as a wife, and unable to do what a daughter-in-law generally does for in-laws. So he's gonna really make it hard on all three of you." Mytha with a trembling voice. 

He wanted to see the reaction of the three by saying all the weaknesses of his daughter. Arif and Mayang looked at each other.

"So, what you might expect from a daughter-in-law, might not be in our child." continued Mytha, and she wiped the wet corners of her eyes.

"Mr Mytha, marriage is not about him doing something or not. It's not about him being able to please others or not. But in our opinion, marriage is about how these two people who love each other can accept each other's circumstances with all awareness and humility. So it has nothing to do with their ability or their habit of something." Mayang open his voice, he understood the turmoil of the woman they now know as Amara's birth mother. Remembering his daughter's current situation.

"We do not demand that anyone who will be our son's companion be perfect like everyone else. It cannot be like that, because each couple is there to complement each other and perfect each other what they lack as a person while still alone. And do you both know, if our son is just as imperfect?" Mayang turned to his son, then he reached out to embrace his shoulder.

"He was just a young man from a small town complaining about his fate in Jakarta. Just to improve our lives to be more worthy. Then be reunited with people like you and family who made him get a lot of lessons."

"He is very young, far from established, and can still sometimes be influenced by unimportant things. And he still often makes unnecessary mistakes." The woman slightly chuckled considering the behavior of her son some time back.

"And he sometimes acts childish, does not think mature and behaves recklessly. But from all that we can guarantee that he is a good man. Which we raise and we educate with all our heart, in the hope that one will be a useful person wherever he lives. If there is a shortage of him, then we consciously state that it is our shortcoming as parents. But our Galang, was very earnest with his intention to Ara. As he said last night. He begged this old man to convince you, the old man from Ara, to give his blessing to ask for your daughter's hand. So for the next, what we hope is a sincere blessing for our son, because we have given blessing to him long before, whatever and whatever the circumstances of Ara. Healthy, or sick. Either in good condition or in trouble." Mayang ended his lengthy but firm statement and relieved everyone. 

Especially Mytha who immediately gave thanks and almost cried if only Wira did not strengthen beside him.

"So how is Sir? Did you receive our son's proposal?" Arif continued what was their intention to come to the place.

Arfan pulled and exhaled slowly. Then he looked at everyone in the room one by one.

Dygta who accompanied his daughter on the bed, Galang and his family. The hero, and lastly Mytha. And he stared at the woman long enough to ask for a cue. Who then Mytha replied with a nod.

"Alright, then .." Arfan prepared himself, so did the person in front of him.

"We accepted Galang's proposal to Amara, to tie her to a more serious relationship later." continued the man, and everyone immediately gave thanks afterwards.

Amara even cried in Dygta's arms because she felt so moved.

"It's about us …." Arfan almost replied when Mytha also replied.

"There is no engagement" said the woman.

"Yes Mom?" 

"If Galang really meant it, why don't we marry them?" continued Mytha who made everyone dumbfounded.

"I think it's better, so that we can also freely let him accompany Ara to recovery" he said again, which succeeded in making Galang out of words.

"Umm ... How about Mr Arif?" Arfan broke the ice that was almost created.

"On that …."

"Okay, we agreed to it." Mayang also replied.

"Mom?" React error.

"Good intentions should not be delayed. If running it makes things better, why should we plan for it later, right?"

"Yes, that's right." Mytha.

"Sound Galang? You will get married after this." Mayang told his son who sat frozen beside him.

"Sound that?" He elbowed Galang's arm quite hard.

"She-sound Ma." The man stuttered.

"Well, so after this apparently we have to prepare a lot of things, right?" Then she turned to Arfan and Mytha.

"That's so late Miss Mayang."

"When will the wedding take place?" Mayang asked again.

"We hope we can be as soon as possible before Ara has her surgery." Mytha replied.

"May …." Arfan is reacting.

Then Mayang and Arif looked at each other again and gestured.

"When was Ara's operation?" Now Arif asked.

"About two weeks." And Arfan answered. "But it can be withdrawn if for example it cannot. We need time, and there has to be preparation, right? Because everything can't be done that fast."

"Well, two weeks we think is enough to prepare. So ... let's get ready?" Mayang with great enthusiasm.

"Mom?" Gets the mother's hand.

"You ready?" Arfan was a little incredulous.

"Of course be ready. So what are you waiting for? Before the operation they had to get married, right?" The woman answered.

"Mom sure?" He whispered to his mother.

"Because you're sure, I'll be sure."

"But Ma'am?"

"Be quiet, let us arrange it for you. Isn't this what you want?"

"Mh …."

"Well Mr. Arfan, if we have agreed we will go home soon to make preparations in Bandung." with confidence the woman said.

"Good, Miss Mayang." While Arfan only nodded his head, he still did not believe this.
