The most anticipated day by every student worldwide is graduation day. The day on which the results they had suffered from the beginning with various struggles that drained sweat to emotions, would pay off with relief. After that, they will be faced with the reality of the real world. They will jump into the world of work. A world where they will apply what they have gained while they are in education.
That day has also come for this one married couple. In the morning is quite sunny, interrupted by the cold temperatures of New York city. Both of them were dressed in uniforms and then went to where they had their education. Happiness seemed to radiate on the faces of both of them. Especially after they heard that the plane of the Radityan family group had also landed this morning.
Now they are in the Pradipta residence. Vano, Arkia, Dimas, Sayla, Aurra, Lunar, Arkan, Triple D, Arion, coupled with Arsen, came together. They also had to stop to London, England, to pick up Arra. While Van’ar, could not be present on the happy day of the son because he was running a task in the country of white elephants.
Later Radityan's extended family will come with the Pradipta family to attend Arsyad and Kara's graduation ceremony.
“Kara still can't believe,” the beautiful woman who was staring at the streets with a glowing hazelnut bead.
“Do not believe in the same?”
“We have passed.” The beautiful woman replied while looking.
Kara still can't believe that they managed to complete their education without any significant distractions. There are only a few internal problems that often come across. The rest, nothing matters. Or maybe, Kara is not aware if all this time the danger remains. However, the defense built around him was already more than enough to dispel all of that.
Arsyad only smiled faintly in response to his wife's words. His wife did not really know about the threat that had been approaching them in a small way. All of that has been resolved by Tyoga's men or by Arsyad himself. Not in vain the results of his training so far with the two Pradipta brothers.
The result is Arsyad can make the wife stay safe and comfortable. The world is so cruel to them. So cruel, tampa to the knowledge of the wife. Every night Arsyad will choose to stay awake or operate various software connected to their residential security system.
When they finished college, Arsyad still had plans for a lively master's degree on the sidelines of his duties leading the company. Arsyad will have no trouble adapting to his position in the company, because during his studies in New York he has also intervened indirectly into the business world.
“This time we go home, right, yanda?”
Hearing the wife's question, the handsome man nodded with a small smile. “Iya.” Next to his hand was raised to reach the wife's fingers decorated with wedding rings.
“Have missed home hm?”
“Iya,” replied the beautiful woman was enthusiastic. “Kara kangen return to Indonesia. Kangen sleeps in the Papih mansion in Surabaya. Kangeen mother Aurra's cooking, Kara flower garden kangen as well. Many pokonya Kara kangenin.”
Arsyad laughed at hearing that. “We go home after this.”
Kara nodded enthusiastically. “Finally we can go home.”
“Hm.”
The trip is quite time-consuming it feels short if interspersed with talk. Arrive at the university where they are educated. The two headed straight for the hall room where the graduation ceremony was held. Various students and students from various countries, tribes, and races downstream-mudik wearing graduation uniforms complete with toga.
The graduation ceremony had already begun when Radityan's entourage arrived. Arsyad could see loved ones whom he so longed to attend filling the empty seats. When his name was called as the best graduate of summa cumlaude, his nettle bead could catch the happy twinkle that emanated in the shady bead of the Mother. The niqab cloth used by the woman was visibly wet by tears as the son delivered a few words on the podium.
Which mother is not touched to see the baby she once bore is now this big. His name is echoed in the State of people as one of the genius students. Her gratitude was so great for God that she became a mother to Arra, Arra and Arion.
“Munda.” Arsyad called out to the woman who had given birth to him to that world with a smile on her lips. His body reflexively hugged the woman.
“Masya Allah, mother's son.” The woman said while touching the dark mane of the son. “Mother is very proud of you. I also must be very proud of what you have earned.”
“Thank you, mother. All this is also because of prayers and support from people who love you.”
Arsyad parsed his embrace with his mother. Her smile was still on her lips as Aurra's tiny fingers touched her jaw. The woman came back crying.
“Why is Mother crying? It's my happy day, brother. Mother can not be sad,” said the youngest Arion who has now transformed into a handsome young man.
“God's Cause, Mother's sons. Mother moved, son.” Aurra looked at her two sons in turn. Really, his feelings could not be described by words.
Arsyad just finished his S1. He was even offered a full scholarship for S2 by 4 famous universities in the world. Arra has also completed his education, one month faster than the twin. The beautiful girl is now continuing her studies to achieve a specialist doctor degree. While Arion, the youngest is now studying at one of the top universities in the country, while undergoing his education at the Air Force Academy (AAU) in Yogyakarta to achieve his goals as the TNI AU of the Republic of Indonesia.
“Your fathers would be so proud if they were here.”
“Dad is on duty, mother. Father is the pride of the State, not only our pride. So, you can definitely understand that.” The youngest Arion looked at the older brother while unraveling a smile.
Arsyad smiled faintly as he touched the head of his sister. The young man's hair intersected neatly, according to the standards of an Indonesian national soldier.
“Now you've grown up, Arion.”
The owner of the name smiled widely. He quickly made a respectful gesture with a ready body attitude. “Report, I am Karbol Arion is currently still undergoing education at the Air Force Academy, senior.”
Karbol* is the designation for air force cadets.
Watching her brother pay homage to her, Arsyad did the same.
“Report received.”
The interaction of the brothers certainly attracted a lot of attention. It was not only the attention of the Radityan family members present. However, the attention of everyone around them. Including Kara who is being embraced by the Father. The beautiful woman was also happy to see the happiness that emanated on the husband's face.
After giving each other respect, the two beautiful men then hugged each other to let go of longing. It's impossible to imagine how long they've waited for moments like this to happen.
“Abang is great. Arion is getting more and more ngefans.” Praise Arion. She has been idolizing her sister since childhood. Because for him, besides the father, his brother is a man who should be an idol.
“You will also be greater than Brother, karbol.” Arsyad replied as he parsed their embrace. There were many changes that he could see in his brother. Especially physical changes.
The Junior High boy who used to love the deposit of memorization of the Basic Law has now grown into a beautiful man with a proportional body. Although the skin is a bit dark because of sunburn, all that still does not reduce Charisma. Especially if you have appeared in a TNI AU uniform complete with a proud blue beret.
“Forward Dad's trail. Continue the dream brother never achieved in the military world, dek.” Arsyad patted the shoulder of the sister's field slowly.
Adhi Makayasa is an annual award given to the best graduates from every TNI and police partner. A very remarkable pride.
After letting go of the blue longing, Arsyad turned to the twin. The beautiful girl who used to be very possessive to take care of herself, has now transformed into a mature woman who perfected the name of the nation in the international arena. The young doctor will soon be taken.
“How are you Arra's brother?”
The beautiful woman wearing the loose khimar wiped her tears. A big hug she gave to the man she missed so much.
“Big bad, uh. Why have you never looked at Arra in London? Is it hard to play in London? Arra tuh kangen, brother.” The beautiful woman chirped her longing. Her tears were not contained anymore when she could hug the body of the twin who had only been able to contact her by phone.
“Sorry brother, yes. Brother can not carelessly go because it can be dangerous for you.”
Arra nodded in his position still hugging the twin. He did know if the brother has a big responsibility to keep Crazy Rich Surabaya's daughter.
“Bu doctor can't cry. Especially soon someone wants to interrupt.”
Arra smiled shyly while loosening their embrace. For a moment his brownish bead met a bead belonging to a beautiful man in a complete pilot uniform that had managed to make him fall in love.
“Bang,” call in unison it came from three young men ruapawan look alike. The three then took over Arra's position to hug Arsyad.
The Arsyad that was getting a sudden attack carved a smile while replying to the triple D embrace. Davin, Davian and Aroon. Three brothers and his best friend. All three have now transformed into a great young man in their respective fields.
Davin has often made a name for the Indonesian military. The young man took part in the army military academy as he had said a few years ago. Following the middle, Davian who successfully became a shadow agent under the auspices of two Pradipta brothers. In recent years, the man has succeeded in a failed mission to smuggle narcotics between countries under the auspices of former Mafia members. While the youngest, currently busy replacing Arsyad in the core company Radityan Corp’s. Along with that, Aroon also has to run their other businesses such as caffe, gym and workshop.
“Kagen ih,” says all three compact.
Arsyad nodded while parsing a smile.
“Congrations, bang.” Triple D is back at the same time. Making her laugh between them break.
“Abang more handsome. Not like Davin getting items.” The youngest said as he elbowed the arm of his oldest twin.
“Black is exotic, bro.” the firstborn makes a sound while unsealing the chest.
“Iye. Come on, sodara-sodara. If you want to bacot at home, not here,” between the middle.
Witnessing his third argument, Arsyad could not help but smile. Really, he missed all three too. After all they grew up together in the Radityan mansion.
After giving up the longing for a triple D, Arsyad turned to Grandpa and Grandma from both Mom and Dad. They were also present and congratulated the grandson. Not to forget he also greeted Lunar, Arkan, Anzar who came with Airra and Alea, two Pradipta who came with his wife and son, and his future sister-in-law. Algeans. The man came all the way from Aachen to bring the Radityan extended family to New York willingly.
“What? Don't know me, lo?”
Getting such a question, Arsyad outlined a small smile. Where maybe he forgot the owner of the appearance, voice, attitude, to the familiar words in his memory.
“Doctor Arsen, how are you?”
Instead of answering, the owner of the name even chuckles a little while tucked in the chest. “Kirain lo don't know me, big boss candidate.”
“Mana may forget, Sen.”
The beautiful man who worked as a doctor laughed crisply at hearing that. Who else if not Arsen. Best friend, colleague and partner Arsyad has ever had.
“Congrats, bro. I'm proud of the same achievement you dapet.” Arsen rubbed his best friend's shoulder as he said.
“Thanks for coming.”
“Content,” replied Arsen with a small smile. “Nih, knowin too. My two beloved angels.”
The beautiful man showed a photo that became a wallpaper on his smartphone. In the photo, there is a woman berkhimar syar’I also using a face covering cloth that is carrying a baby. Obviously if the background photo is an inpatient room.
“Same wife my son.”
Arsyad smiled as he looked at his friend. He was also happy to know that his best friend was married, and even had a daughter.
“Congratulations on your marriage and the birth of your daughter.”
“Sama-sama.” Arsen glanced at Kara who was still standing beside Tyoga for a moment. “So, when are you coming? I just got married for two years, I have a baby. Lo when?”
Arsyad was silent for a moment. This topic again.
“But, make your current position definitely not easy to make this decision.” Arsen patted his best friend's shoulder slowly. “Jalani aja what you think is the most correct for lo sama wife.”
Arsyad nodded in response. “Insaallah.”
“Allah what was it, nih?” arsen Goda.
“Insaallah followed when it was time,” replied Arsyad while looking at his wife. A smile he published for the woman who four years has accompanied him like and sorrow. He had already made up his mind on this topic long before question after question came over. And, Arsyad already has the answers to those questions.
