Picking Up the Past

My Faithful Father's Wrong

“dad,, me,,” said Rita who momentarily stopped.

“Ta, I don't mean you Ta, from the beginning we met I've lost, I'm not at all,,”

“I want to go back Arya, my work is still a lot in the office” replied Rita briefly cut Arya's sentence, she then passed go out of the room.

“sorry uncle, I can't stay here for long, I just need uncle's direction for this, I heard that guy's son will be engaged with his son om Hardi, I think if that happens, I think, I will lose everything, especially my father's good name” said Arya in a slow tone and sounded very serious in each word.

“young master can meet Rahman and Haris, they will help master for this all, sorry sir, I can not help much, I can't do anything in here” said secretary Arjun lowered his head weakly in front of Arya.

“nothing uncle, uncle's direction has helped me a lot, I have to catch up with Rita, I say goodbye first uncle” said Arya then rise, I have to follow Rita, he saluted his father's confidant with his head, and then he immediately walked out of the room.

“young master, may I ask for something” said Arjun's secretary who made Arya stop her steps, he then turned his body and looked towards the secretary Arjun who was also standing by the table they were talking to earlier.

“request what uncle?” ask Arya briefly.

“please take care of Rita sir, no matter what happens, Rita should stay by the side of the master, please take care of her safety sir, she is my only child”

“paman friend rest easy, I will not involve Rita further than this, I will take care of her and memastasam his safety from this problem” replied Arya reassured Arjun secretary.

“thank you sir, the services of master and master Gibran will never be able to reply”, said Arjun secretary with teary eyes.

“paman don't talk like that, I'm tired because sentences like that kept being said by Rita to me, I say goodbye to uncle, uncle first, maybe in the near future I will come here again to see uncle” said Arya then he immediately out of the room.

While Arjun's secretary saw Arya's departure with wet eyes, ‘thank God, our young master has returned, Rahman, Haris, our struggle will meet his inner victory’ point.

Arya walked quickly to the car park, where she saw Rita half-standing leaning on the front hood of a blue car that almost 4 years accompanied her wherever Rita went. The car he bought with his own sweat money while he was Arya's secretary.

One pride for him when he became secretary Arya and bought a car with his own money, he was able to prove to his father and mother at that time that he was not a spoiled child anymore, he was able to prove to his father and mother at that time that he was not a spoiled child anymore, but an independent woman who can meet her own needs.

But that day, there is another side of his life that he does not want to have, ‘Arya, you are not Indra right, why is this so disappointing for me?, why is it so disappointing for me?, am I disappointed that he hasn't told me who he is all along?, or do I really not accept that he is that child, the son of the one who ruined my family as it is now, what makes a father like this now, how great they are, his father put my father in prison and my mother suffered in the hospital, and then his son came to help my mother, and maybe he would also be able to free my father, what Arya wants to atone for her father's sins to my family’ Rita's inner self.

Arya then approached Rita, she saw Rita's cheek that was still wet, I don't know what the girl thought, Arya did not understand it at all, she just chose to give up with the situation in Rita, Rita, he didn't want to force anything on Rita.

“you are still angry with me?,” said Arya flatly, but Rita just silently did not respond, Arya then took out Rita's car keys from her suit pocket and gave them to Rita.

“carry your car, I think you need time alone, I can go back to my own office” said Arya again in a flat tone.

Rita took a deep breath and rubbed her wet cheeks after hearing Arya's words, “ayo, we have to go back to the office” said Rita briefly, saying, he walked to the door where he got out of the car. Arya then follows Rita's wishes, driving the car back to her office.

“noah, maybe I'm just disappointed, disappointed that I don't know who you are, and disappointed that you're the child Rita replied without taking her eyes off the street she saw.

“I also did not recognize you from the beginning Ta, whereas when we were children, we had met several times, but it was like your father immediately recognized who I” Arya answered flatly.

‘if Uncle Arjun recognizes me, does that mean there are still others who recognize me, who? did grandfather already recognize me too?, or mother?, did mother also suspect me to ask about father that night,’ inner Arya again.

“we weren't too close to Arya, so there's no way I'd be able to recognize you from the beginning, after all the news of your death has been around for a long time, your confession is really unbelievable” replied Rita still with a blank look at the same rah.

“but your father immediately believed my confession earlier, does that mean he already recognized me from seeing my face alone?” ask Arya.

“I don't know, maybe because dad is close to you, so he can recognize you” said Rita flatly, he did not want the situation in the car was uncomfortable and chose to serve Arya talks.

“maybe you are right, Anjani seems to also recognize me” Arya replied.

“Anjani?” rita asked confusedly.

“He was my friend since childhood, but now that he has become my enemy, he will soon be engaged to the son of the CEO who has destroyed our family”

Rita swallowed her saliva hearing Arya's words, she tried to recall Anjani's attitude from the beginning was like this to want to have more time with Arya.

“does he like you Arya?” rita asked in a confused tone.

“no, he already knows I'm married, where maybe he wants to damage people's households, this is just a sense of friendship Ta, I even want to repeat the times of our friendship when the boy used to be, I even want to repeat the times of our friendship when the boy was, but now that the situation is different, I have a wife that I have to take care of, and I have the awareness that there are sins that I have to stay away from, she would be better friends with Mila than with me”.

“then why are you disappointed that I am that child?” arya asked still in a flat tone.

“aku,, I still remember that boy Arya, he was my friend in my childhood, and because of him and his father, my father and my family were destroyed like now”.

“sorry Rita, I do not know what my fault is and also my father's fault, I do not know anything at all, when me and Tomy left for Jakarta, Jakarta, I was overshadowed by that fear at all times, I just wanted to hide to save myself from the target of that person Rita,” explained Arya, their atmosphere was momentarily silent, Rita was still trying to digest the situation, Rita was still trying to digest the situation, he had been with Arya for a long time, he knew what Aryan's character was like, and in that situation he knew Arya was giving up on him.

“maybe I am too selfish for this accusation, if it is to blame, then the wrong one is my own father, he who wants to be loyal to your father so he is slandered like this, he said, your father is not wrong, he is calm in nature there, and also you are not wrong, I'm still difficult to accept that you are Indra” replied Rita flatly, his chest seemed to be tight admitting that his father was the one who made his family destroyed like that.

“don't blame your father and Rita, he may be the same as you who chose to work for me for the same reason, if anyone is to blame, then blame Aliando, the CEO of Adinata now, he said, he who destroyed our family”

“she rules Arya, a powerful person like her can not be blamed, because for her lies can be the truth and so vice versa” said Rita with still looking towards the streets at her side.

“and that's what I have to straighten out Ta, I won't force you to help me, I still have Tomy, Ari, and Arbi by my side, I don't want to put you in a dangerous state”
