Fikri and Arka had already entered into the cage of beasts. Unlike the situation in the boarding Riana who still looks silent.
".... Please bless your relationship with Riana, Father."
A request came out of the mouth of a rich businessman's son. Although, Aksa had a golden chance, she still acted fair. Love needs struggle, not just a sweet word.
"Does Dad still hate you because you betrayed Riana? Brother really didn't betray him, Dad. Until now my brother still loves him very much."
"I'm sorry .. if your marriage disappoints you. Not only is Dad disappointed, Brother is also very disappointed with the unilateral decision taken by Aunt Sarah. Brother was forced," he said.
Rion was unmoved, he was still silent a thousand languages.
"Abang will not force Dad to accept Brother. However, Brother will also not give up on uniting with Riana. Brother will continue to pursue Father's blessing for brother's relationship with Father's daughter" he said.
"Restu and ridho of parents is a prayer toward happiness."
Rion's heart weakened hearing Aksa's sincere words. However, he was still firm with his stubbornness.
"Dad ... Ri, just want Brother. Ri doesn't want another man." Riana started to speak.
"Ri, love your brother so much, Dad."
"Are you not ashamed to be the destroyer of other people's households? Then marry a man who should be happy with his wife?"
Rion's question made Riana's heart feel torn to shreds. So hurt. His own father said that he was a snatch of people's husbands.
"Ri, don't take Abang. Ri, just keep Ri's love for Brother. Is Ri, wrong?" Riana's voice rattled through the father's words. It hurt so much, that's what Riana felt.
"Dad doesn't know how Ri's heart is when he finds out that you're married to another woman. Father never knew also how the heart of Ri when Ri was shown a picture of Brother with his sleeping wife in a blanket without a cover. Ri's heart hurts a lot, Dad. However, the pain was not comparable to the taste Ri had for Brother. Ri realizes that it is not only Ri who is hurting here. My brother was a victim here. The victim of a lie committed by the family of his ex-wife," Riana said.
"For a long time Ri never discussed this. Ri knows, brother is framed for marriage because of a bodong will. The brother who held the press conference and defended Ri in front of everyone about the hot video. Brother's looking for evidence of how his wife was behind him. Ri, know all the dads. Hence, Ri dared to get close to Brother again because of that. My brother does not love his wife. Brother betrayed a wife he did not love. Ri's attitude is wrong, but Ri's heart is never wrong to love someone who deserves to be with Ri."
Rion's heart gasped at Riana's words. Riana's daughter has returned.
"Why now do you dare to oppose Father?" sentak Rion's.
"Ri, tired Dad ... Ri, wants to fight for Ri's happiness. Ri, don't want to keep giving up. Does Ri not deserve to be happy?"
Riana's face was clearly visible, while Aksa continued to gently rub the back of Riana's hand that Aksa kept holding.
"Do you want Ri out of your life?"
Rion's eyes widened to hear it. Riana's face turned flat.
"Ri, already a submissive child. Ri, it's been a good boy for me. Is this time Dad still going to force Ri? Ri, tired," he said.
"Better Ri who went from Dad's life. Maybe, if Ri goes the burden of Dad's life will be reduced."
This was the point where Riana was tired of her father's attitude. Riana also had the right to fight for her happiness.
"Are you taught to fight like that by Aksa?" accuse Rion.
"Dad ..do not always accuse people without evidence. He never taught anything bad to Ri. Many times Ri asks Brother to take Ri away, but Brother does not want to. Brother doesn't want Ri to be an ungodly child. You don't want to keep me disappointed."
Rion was silent at Riana's words. His eyes stared intently at Aksa.
Treated like anything Aksa by Rion, does not make Aksa's emotions easily provoked. After all, Aksa already considered Rion like her own father. A man he respected a lot.
"What the cave boy said is true." The voice of someone made Rion turn.
"If the cave wants to use a sneaky way, can just take the cave to run away Riana and cover Riana's tracks so you can not find your daughter. Cave boy is not like that, many times you maki-maki cave boy, kasarin cave boy, he is still polite to you. There is not the slightest intention of the cave boy to say rough with you. Cave please, you can open your wide eyes. See how sincere the cave boy loves your son. How happy your son would be with the cave boy. As a father, you can't feel it?"
Actually Gio did not want to interfere about Aksa's struggle to get Riana. Hearing the words of Rion who constantly dropped Aksa made his mouth itchy want to chim in.
"Daddy ...." Aksa shook her head.
Only a rough sigh escaped from Gio's mouth. "Alright," he said.
"I'm sorry Daddy, Dad. That's how Daddy protects you. The same is true with Father who protects Riana," he said.
Rion does see clearly how sincerely Aksa loves Riana. However, her heart still could not let go of Riana just like that.
"Once again, Brother will not force Dad to quickly approve of the relationship between Brother and Riana. Brother will prove to Dad that Brother is worthy to be Riana's companion, until Dad himself approves of Abang," he explained with a smile.
"Ri, don't ever fight to Dad. You should be devoted to Daddy like Brother Echa. After all, Dad is the one who loves you very sincerely. I've sacrificed so much for you from the time you were born."
Riana's heart was completely filled to hear Aksa's words. Never once did Aksa teach Riana to hate her father. The father's treatment of himself.
"It's time for you to go" said Aksa.
Rion's eyes widened to hear Aksa's words. Especially seeing the face of Riana who returned sad.
"Where are you going?" sergeant Rion.
Aksa turned to look at Rion who was not as beautiful as before.
"Abang wants to establish himself to be Riana's husband. You'll prove to Dad that you deserve to be Dad's son-in-law." Aksa brought Riana towards Rion. Linking Rion's hand with Riana.
"Titip Riana, Dad. Take care of Riana and protect her. Until you return to this land."
Rion was completely confused to hear Aksa's words. Moreover, a sincere smile was engraved from his lips. He looked towards Gio wanting an explanation.
"Aksa will be living in the Aussie for the next few years. He's building a company in his own name there. As proof that she can make Riana happy with her own hard work. Not from the family's estate."
Before leaving Rion and Riana, Aksa smiled towards the idol. Not forgetting to wave her hand towards Riana. Aksa's body is getting away. Riana, gazing towards the father with the glare of the eyes was once pleading. A nod that became the answer of Rion.
Riana ran after Aksa and hugged her from behind until Aksa's steps came to a halt. A smile curvature was engraved on Aksa's face. He turned his body without breaking his embrace.
"Don't go!" The headband that was the answer to Riana's request.
"Abang has to go for our future. You are a rare diamond that you must hold, and to hold you must not be easy. Time to fight." Aksa rubbed gently on Riana's cheek.
"Wait for Brother, you will come with a surprise."
