SAFAZAR (Pursuing the Love of Mr. Prosecutor)

SAFAZAR | CHAPTER 156

Safa was unable to speak. His tongue was a mute, his eyes were empty, immersed in a raging mind. Edzar really made him not wince. Safa did not even rub the ledges of her cousin and brother. Safa's attention was on one man, Edzar. The man was looking at him, the corner of his lips turned calm, but was able to tear apart Safa's heart that had not fully recovered from the shock.

Safa gulped roughly, turning her eyes to the side, at the father who looked at her no less gently. The big hand raised rubbed carefully the top of his head. Only glimpses. Because after that his father looked back to the front, towards Edzar family with eyes that shimmered firmly, even so he still did not leave a friendly impression.

Mr. Halim cleared his throat, "Ehm."

"Actually, I would love to accept Nak Edzar's proposal for my daughter. I believe Nak Edzar's good men are also responsible."

"Yet ...."

Suddenly the mood became quiet. Everyone is waiting for the words of Mr. Halim who was impressed to hang. Especially Edzar who now turned nervous, judging from the movement of his hands squeezing each other. Safa knew the custom. His face may look calm, but who knows his heart is restless and anxious.

Not much different from Safa, he also felt his heart jump. From the first start to step foot here until now sitting dumbstruck with a mixed heart.

Safa looked at her mother. As if the woman was also turning to look at him. Immediately the finely groomed lentic hand rubbed Safa's fingers over the thigh. His lips were smiling as if calming.

Their attention returned to Mr. Halim who started talking again.

"However, it seems that this alone is not enough, if the birth mother Nak Edzar himself has not given my blessing to my son."

"Didn't I tell you from the beginning? Looks like Nak Edzar misinterpreted."

"I did approve of your relationship, long before Nak Edzar expressed the desire to approach Safa, and asked me for permission to bring two families together. As it is now."

"really. Nak Edzar did bring the whole family, even those far from the city, outside Java, you pick them up here and there, begging to attend."

"But the one you forget, is your own mother."

"It's the most important thing here. Without his blessing, then I can not hand over Safa as Nak Edzar asked," said Mr. Halim.

Tension enveloped, Edzar seemed to gulp, the man looked down squeezed his already wet hands. True, he did not bring his mother with him in this event. It is not that she does not want to, but the mother refuses. Though Edzar deliberately back and forth Jakarta, Depok, Bandung during this week. Only to seek blessing in order to interfere with Safa immediately.

Not without reason, other than he wanted their relationship to be hastened, without Safa's knowledge some applications came to his father. Miraculously, the first person Mr. Halim contacted was himself. Because he knew Edzar had long craved his daughter.

In fact, long before he dared to approach Safa, actually Edzar had already first asked for permission.

And when Mr. Halim told him about the betrothed that came in succession, Edzar immediately felt he had to rush Safa to be his wife. In any case, including by violating the mother's blessing.

But it turns out everything is not that easy. Safa's father still wants her to get permission from the only parent she has in the world today.

The thing is, more than ten times Edzar asked, everything remained in vain. Maybe he could bring his entire extended family from out of town. Edzar even ventured to fly to Sumatra as Mr. Halim said earlier.

He thought, over a hundred souls were able to replace his mother's absence. But in fact it's not. Mr. Halim refused.

So, what should Edzar do now?

Does the application have to run aground right now?

What was his struggle that took days to have to ignore Safa in vain?

Edzar smelled his lips for a moment. He looked up, ventured to look at Mr and Mrs Halim, as well as Safa. Edzar saw the girl. I don't think he could just give up. Edzar was not willing. He was really not sincere if he had to take off his girl, then give it to another man besides himself.

Edzar turned his head, feeling a touch in his hand. Marwan, the sister of his mother who a few days ago he picked up from Ciamis. The middle-aged man let out a long sigh, gesturing for Edzar to remain silent.

"Sir Halim. Am I also my whole family unable to replace his mother's absence?" marwan asked, looking at the host.

"What is the struggle of this young man beside me still not enough to make you emit a sense of compassion? He went back and forth an entire week to pick us up, traveling long distances day and night to qualify you, which is to bring the whole extended family, without exception."

"Uwa, already. Stop it" whispered Edzar.

Mr. Halim nodded. "really. Without exception," he said. "Including mother. This is the main one."

"Are you not ashamed? So much for Edzar to sacrifice for this event. Especially an actual job can't take much time off."

"He also fully financed the entire preparation. He designed the event to fit and suit your daughter's taste. Is this your reply to the man who fought so hard to sacrifice his time?"

"The man is independent, he can propose to anyone without a guardian or parent. What's the problem if only her mother doesn't give her blessing? Here we accompany her, supporting her good intentions on your daughter."

"I gave my full permission when Nak Edzar expressed his desire to hold this event. On the terms you mentioned above."

"I'm hands off, I let him prepare everything because he asked."

"But, if it turns out that Nak Edzar objected to the cost and felt aggrieved, I would gladly reimburse all the expenses you have incurred for this."

"With the provision, after this you must break with my daughter," said Mr. Halim like lightning for Edzar.

Spontaneous Edzar shook his head, "This is not a matter of matter. I don't mind at all let alone feeling wronged. Whatever I have to spend, I can if it's for Safa."

"I beg you, Om. Give me one more chance. If necessary, I'll pick up my mom right now. But, please don't ask me to leave Safa."

"I sincerely love him. I don't want to lose him. If I have to get married, then she has to be the woman."

Silent.

Safa is in her seat. From the conclusions he heard, we can be sure all of this is Edzar's plan.

So, the reason the guy didn't call and take his calls and chats was because of this? Edzar was busy traveling to visit his family out of town? Why didn't he just say it from the beginning? Safa felt guilty letting her fight on her own, until that. It is only fitting to meet the look of Edzar so tired, as if not sleeping a few days until the bottom of his eyes blackened.

Safa was too late in her fear that she ignored Edzar. Without knowing that man is the most difficult with their relationship.

"A Uda ..." lirih Safa invited attention. He looked up, staring right in Edzar's eyes. "Safa is sorry. Safa selfishly let A Uda do all this."

"If our relationship makes A Uda difficult .... Let's just stop it," he said. He doesn't know, Dava and his cousin are clucking back there. They compactly muttered the word 'stupid'.

"Dek," clapped Dava from behind. She was struggling and was intent on making her sister change her mind.

But Safa ignored, his focus remained on Edzar who now looked at him unacceptable. "What did you say?" the man nodded slowly.

"As Father said, a mother is too important to ignore. This asyral thing, certainly not complete without his presence."

"If Aunt Dyah doesn't want Safa with Uda, how will our lives be? Maybe Safa will be happy with A Uda, but not with Aunt Dyah. So, forever Safa will only be haunted by guilt for making mother and child relationship cold."

"Did Uda have the heart, Safa experienced all that?"

"Did?"

"Not Safa won't, but Safa just doesn't want to break the cord between the child and the parent."

"Please A Uda come back if you let me."

"Or, A Uda can find another woman who is equal to what Aunt Dyah wants."

Edzar shook his head in disbelief, "What do you mean? Looking for another woman? So easy you say that?"

The man snorted, massaging his forehead with a sigh sounding heavy. The entire family from both sides stared pity at him.

Then he looked up. "alright. I'll make sure to bring mom here. But after that, do not expect you can run," Edzar said.

"No need, Edzar. I'm already here." Someone interrupted their discussion.

Everyone looked towards the open door. The figure of Dyah stood majestically wearing a uniform kebaya as worn by the whole family.

The woman walked between the rows of filled chairs. Staring straight at Edzar who was now a little flabbergasted to see his arrival.

Dyah stood before his son, smiling briefly before turning his eyes to Mr. Halim and his wife.

"I give my blessing" said Dyah kalem.

"On condition that they should be banned tonight as well" he continued, leaving everyone flabbergasted. Including Safa who is now glaring must either be happy or horrified.

Married tonight?

Is Aunt Dyah joking?
