3 Days I survived in the city of Surabaya saw the closeness between them growing.
Whether I should be happy or sad right now, I don't know. Seeing him next to another man made my heart feel very sad.
But isn't this what I wanted all along? If one day I can't be with him anymore, I hope he will be with a better man.
And that day I chose to fly to Jakarta to meet Randi's father from Radit. Although I didn't know him well enough, we met several times.
From the airport I immediately rushed to order a taxi to take me to the Mahendra family residence.
After arriving at the magnificent house like a palace, I immediately explained my arrival to the head of security who was guarding the post near the gate of his house.
It takes the owner's approval first to get in. After waiting for a few minutes, the security guards of the mansion let me in.
A butler immediately greeted me when I reached the main door. He led me straight to a room where Randi was sitting waiting for me.
"Assalamualaikum om." greet me while kissing the back of his hand.
"Greetings, Akmal how are you ? It's been a long time since we last met." said om Randi calmly.
Since long ago, the calm om Randi became one of the things I liked the most. He almost never over-expresses when talking to others.
"Sit down first" said om Randi.
I sat down on the sofa next to him. Not long after, some servants came to bring tea and snacks.
"How are your mother and your brother Akhtar?" asked Randi while sipping tea in his hand.
"Alhamdulillah om, we are all fine and mama has been busy painting since we lived in Bandung." I explained.
"What's so important, son, that you've come all the way here?" ask me about Randi to the point.
"Yes, um. I'm here because there's something I want to talk about." I explained.
"What's that?" ask me Randi a little curious.
"It's about Radit om." I said making forehead om Randi immediately shriveled in wonder.
"What's wrong with Radit?" tanyanya.
"Om you know, used to date a woman who worked in an om office?" my many.
"Of course, your father is always busy coming to om's office to ask om to fire the girl" explained om Randi who made my blood boil again.
It turned out that the old rascal was really trying to get rid of Fika by all means.
"And do you agree?" ask me to try to stay calm.
"Of course not. Om will not fire any employee in the company om just like that without any mistakes. After all, Radit always looked after her desperately." explained om Randi casually.
"Yes, and om never forbid it as your father did." replied om Randi to my heart.
"Why did you never ban Radit and try to keep him away from Fika? Isn't Fika a nobody who won't be able to be comparable to the heir of Mahendra's group?" I tried to provoke.
"Son, in the eyes of our god these are all the same and nothing is different. Om saw an example of the arrogance and greed of your father. And we'll see now how it turned out?" tanya om Randi makes me smile bitterly.
"Om does not want to regret and lose his eldest son only because of his own selfishness. After all, om has also been investigating the background of Afika and she is a good girl. There's nothing wrong with him. If Radit really loved her and one day they were together, then she would accept it with open arms." Om Randi's words made my heart throb with pain.
If he could be like an open-minded Randi who could accept Fika a long time ago, maybe things wouldn't be like this.
"Can om hold the words just now? Om wouldn't do anything that could hurt Fika, if they were together someday?" ask me seriously.
"Om know you still love her so much, why are you asking like this? Aren't you going to try to make it back?" tanya om Randi sounds sincere.
"I don't have the courage anymore to stand before Fika after everything that has happened to her. And I'm also afraid that if I go back to him, then that friend will try to hurt Afika again." I explained honestly.
"Son, you're very kind and breastfed for the girl. Om is very proud of you, but om can't give you the support to come back to him either. Because om's own son wants Afika to be his life companion. Forgive me son Akmal." said om Randi made me touched.
Hearing the words of om Randi my heart became relieved and sick simultaneously. I don't know, is letting go like this the right thing for me to do?
My tears shed along with the warm hand of a father holding my hand gave me strength.
I cried sobbing for a while, at least I have nothing to regret about letting another man have it.
Om Randi came up to me and gave me a hug from a father. Not much he said, but from his attitude I realized that Radit was so lucky to have a father figure like him.
Once upon a time, even I almost forgot since the last time our relationship went well as a father and son.
They are a good family, hopefully Afika can be really happy with Radit. Akmal will try to be big-spirited and let go.
After talking at length with om Randi, I decided to go straight back to Bandung using the same taxi.
From the day I will never meet and see him secretly. I will also no longer tell someone to follow and guard Afika secretly.
"Gue envies you so much. You have everything I want. Take good care of Afika, if you get him hurt I'm the first one who will kill lo." My inner
On the way I immediately contacted bang Akhtar, I also told him all the decisions I would take.
I asked the Akhtar bang to attract someone we had been assigned to supervise Fika in Surabaya.
I can only see all the photos that are still stored neatly on my phone. Remove them one by one, all the photos that became good memories during our time together.
Goodbye to Afika,
Good bye, dear.
May you always be happy.
