One Night Incident's

Chapters 12. Hope

Djakarta...

Raffi feels distrustful with the information given by Claudia, who claims to be Arine's sister. Since childhood knew Arine.., the girl never deviated from her behavior, let alone to want to have intercourse without marriage. But the girl's departure really surprised him.

"Arine... What really happened to you,,? I came back to Jakarta, hoping to find you again, and re-knit our story that had been interrupted by circumstances.." Raffi seemed to lament his sadness.

The young man opened the phone in his hand, and the collection of photos of High School with the girl showed cheerfulness and fairness. But the mistake he made, without saying goodbye officially, he suddenly left and disappeared. It was the circumstances that demanded it that way, though,

"Mr Abraham.why don't I find out from Papa Arine.. Until he let his daughter go, the man must know the truth behind it. Through the man, I will get clear information, about the true events that have been behind Arine's departure.." Raffi finally decided to confirm with papa Arine, Arine,

Without wasting much time, the man immediately stood up and took the car keys, Not knowing how to go, just Raffi thought that Arine needed help. Seeing the watch on his wrist still at two o'clock in the afternoon, the man decided to head to Abraham's estate.

"It's a good thing the streets haven't been so jammed yet, so I don't spend much time on the roads.. After I meet Mr. Abraham, I will use all my connections and hacking skills to track down Arine's digital footprint. You will never be able to go with me Arine.." while driving, the young man kept thinking. Hope to be accepted by Papa Arine is very much expected, because the man wants to find out more about what is experienced by his former lover.

Not long drive, finally Raffi has entered the lobby of a multi-storey building. A security man intercepted him, and the young man opened the windshield..

"Excuse me sis... is there a need in the company..?" politely, the security asked Raffi.

"Yes sir.if Mr. Abraham is in place, can I be reunited with him." did not want to spend time to talk stale, Raffi conveyed the purpose of arrival.

Security seemed to think for a while, but then...

"We help park the car first sir, so as not to hinder other visitors. You can fill the list on the front line desk, and it will be connected by customer service to Mr. Abraham." security explained.

Raffi immediately opened the car door, and security officers took over the car keys. The young man was immediately directed by the other security at the front line table. As directed, Raffi immediately filled out the arrival list. Arine's good friend was clearly written by Raffi, to move Mr. Abraham's heart to accept him.

"Wait a minute, I will confirm with Mr. Abraham. Hopefully he will be pleased to receive guests, because since morning Mr. Abraham somewhat closed himself mas.." customer service officers immediately took the phone and connected with the company secretary.

A few moments waiting in the waiting chair, customer service officers returned to Raffi.

"Thank God, Mr. Abraham was willing to meet Raffi.. Let me take you to Mr. Abraham's study." politely the woman told Raffi.

"Thank you for your help.." Raffi immediately stood up, then followed the woman inside.

**********

Mr. Abraham's office..

Raffi sat on the sofa in the room, and slowly Mr. Abraham walked from behind his desk to the sofa where Raffi was. For courtesy, the young man stood up, then reached out to shake the middle-aged man's hand.

"Thank you sir." the young man immediately followed the words of the man in front of him. Slowly Raffi sat back down for a while as they fell silent, then...

"What is the purpose of Raffi's arrival to the company, is it related to my daughter Arine..?" there was sadness in the words of Abraham.

Raffi sighed,

"Truly Mr. Abraham. Maybe you also understand how my relationship with your daughter, because four years ago, I still have the status as Arine's lover sir. But because of the situation, we had to split up, and I went to Tokyo to be with my dad and my mom.." Raffy explained.

"And now I return to Jakarta sir, to try to knit our relationship that was delayed. However... how surprised, because I heard the information if.." the young man did not continue his words, for fear of offending the man in front of him.

Emotions began to appear toward Mr. Abraham, but the middle-aged man tried to suppress him. Seeing that there was mineral water on the table, Abraham took and drank some sips. Later then...

"Son Raffi. Because of my emotions, impulsively Arine has left me, without any clarity as to what really happened. I was emotional at the time, because Arine loudly said that she was pregnant.." tears came out of the corner of Mr. Abraham's eyes.

"And because of my condition, for a moment I seemed to lose my balance, and I dropped at that moment. After I realized, I had already lost my only real daughter.. I have failed to keep the trust of his mother Raffi.." continued the middle-aged man.

The young man fell silent, waiting until Abraham could regain control of his emotions. After seeing the man in front of him was already able to stabilize...

"Sir Abraham.there are two things that can be taken from the behavior of Arine sir.., because a little bit I know Arine. It could be, because there is a stimulus that suppresses Arine, and to stop justification, Arine did it deliberately. The girl said that if she was pregnant, people would stop talking about her. Or it could be the second possibility sir, or Arine is really pregnant. But. who is the man who has impregnated him, and how his stepbrother, sorry. It is impossible not, if a girl is pregnant without a husband, it will open the disgrace she has.." Raffi's mind is acceptable.

It looked as if master Abraham was pervading Raffi's words, then raised his face and looked towards the young man in front of him..

"You have opened my eyes, son Raffi, no matter what happens to Arine, as his father, I will accept it. Indeed, ever since my marriage back with my current wife, Arine's behavior and attitude have become closed and changed. Several times, I wanted to change it, but again my busyness overcame that intention.. But now, Arine has left me.." Back tears seemed to wash over Mr. Abraham's cheeks.

Raffi who became speechless, tried to understand the emotions of papa Arine. Later then..

"Sir Abraham.., please permit sir. I just heard from Bi Minah that Arine was saying goodbye to her the night before Arine left. Arine said if going to Japan.please get permission, sir, I will use the data connection in the KBRI and the Population Service to be able to find information about Arine sir.." mr. Abraham was shocked by Raffi's statement.

There is hope in front of her, if she will be reunited with her only daughter.

"I gave you permission, Raffi boy, please and bring my daughter back here. Whatever the circumstances, I will accept everything with sincerity, and will never bring up any mistakes he may have made.." It turns out that master Abraham could think more wisely.

Raffi smiled and nodded his head. There is a speck of hope in the young man, to re-knit their once-delayed love story,
