Ashqar was silent, seemingly thinking. Hearing Rafa's explanation actually makes him feel that there is no compelling reason for Nita and her family to meet at this time, not when the situation has begun to calm down. After all, Ashqar felt there was something odd about the reason Rafa gave.
“Which spoke just now was Rafa as her brother Safira or Rafa as the owner of the company?”
Rafa seemed surprised by the sharp question Ashqar asked. He really didn't expect Ashqar to have such thoughts. However, instead of being confused and stuttering, Rafa gave a relaxed response complete with his thin smile.
Unfortunately, even though Rafa sounds convincing with various supporting sentences that he made. Ashqar is skeptical.
“I appreciate your good intentions, although to be honest I also doubt what exactly you are planning. But still, for this matter I have to discuss with Safira.”
✿✿✿
“Heh! Even dumbfounded again.”
Rahma's insinuation returns Ashqar from his meeting with Rafa. He raised his face and found Rahma still waiting for her answer.
“I haven't even given consent, ma'am. This is like Rafa's wits so that Sapphira agrees with his idea. I haven't told Safira yet, so it's possible that Safira knew from Rafa himself.”
Ashqar doesn't know how Rafa thinks. Obviously he had said he would discuss with Safira first, but unfortunately, his brother-in-law instead chose a devious way to contact Safira before he reached home. Moreover, it turns out Rahma was also at the right time.
“By the way since when dateng? How do you know about this?”
“Safira said ten minutes from you go pick up Alvin and yes .. about half an hour ago Rafa called Saffira and talked a bit long.” Rahma glanced at Safira who was still busy with the children in the living room. “Mbak doesn't know what they're talking about, but Safira tells me that you agreed to meet with Nita. Mbak has not had time to ask further you have been hunted dateng.”
“Emang want to ask what, mbak?”
Ashqar and Rahma were both surprised by Sapphira's sudden arrival. However, the two can naturally cover it with a synchronous headband and a symmetrical smile.
“You guys why, anyway?” safira asked, sitting next to Rahma.
“This is about Rafa's idea,” Ashqar replied, his expression became serious. “I don't agree with that, Fi. Even the plan is I want to discuss first with you when you go home, but I don't know if Rafa turns out to contact you first.”
Safira. “But Rafa said that I have agreed to meet with Mbak Nita?”
Ashqar exhaled a rough breath while leaning his back on the head of the sofa. Bad prejudices he could no longer bear to stop by his mind and make his chest tight, filled with restrained esmosi.
As the blow became stronger, Ashqar began to close his eyes and catch his breath. He didn't want to explode in front of a person who wasn't his suspect. After all, his intention was to discuss instead of digging his own grave by igniting the flames of debate with the wife.
“You have ripped off Rafa,” said Rahma, ahead of Ashqar who just opened his eyelids.
Safira looked over with an expression that was still maintained. “Because of Kak Rafa's trick? I don't understand.”
Again Ashqar's breath sounded heavy and rough. He looked at the tired Sapphira while patting the empty side beside him. “Sit here, The.”
“Where, mas?” safira asked as she sat beside her husband.
“You sure you want to meet Nita?” Ashqar looked at Safira with a hard to interpret gaze.
Safira himself can feel the cold running along his spine. “Kak Rafa said this for the last time before Mbak Nita went abroad. If so, I guess. But if you don't agree I'll say Rafa's sister made the plan abort.”
Again Ashqar threw a stump at the head of the sofa. He raised his arms and covered his face. “I thought about Zain. He just moved on.”
That gentle touch made Ashqar keep his arm back beside the body. Ashqar turned his head and found Sapphira looking at him full of anxiety.
Ashqar reached out, stroking the side of Sapphira's face as light as a feather. “Not. What I'm worried about is that Zain's stressed. He's been through a bad thing since his grandmother died and I don't want if his meeting with Nita later even scraped old wounds.”
“I understand worries mas.” Sapphira took Ashqar's hand which was on her face and held it tightly in her lap. “And that is also my concern. So tonight's meeting will just be the meeting of the three of us without the kids. How?”
Rahma. Trying to remind the couple in front of him if there are still other humans besides the two of them. Then when Ashqar and Sapphira paid attention to him, Rahma said, “Mbak knows that you have no right to interfere in your affairs, but if you may speak, Safira's idea is very wise. This problem is already strange and if it involves children it is very wrong, but if the adults who sit and talk it is good. In any case you have an obligation to straighten this matter out to the public so that someday when Zain understands then he will not misunderstand.”
“But Rafa planned this impressed only for the benefit of Nita. Make him return a good image and it is certainly not important for our family, mbak.”
“That's impossible. You know for yourself how possessive Rafa is with Safira.”
“Mbak do not know if it is a person who has a company Nita,” said Ashqar Congkol while turning the eyeballs.
Netra Rahma. “Rafa ... what?”
“Not to discuss that one.” Ashqar shook his hands in front of his face. “Which obviously I do not agree to meet with Nita.”
Rahma looked at Ashqar after managing to control herself from her shock and of course she would question this later personally to Sapphira. Rahma knew very well the character of her sister who still harbored disappointment and anger to Nita for what she had done to Zain.
“For Zain, Qar. He will grow up and will know the truth. For that you do not need to save any more unnecessary feelings, just so an example that you and Safira are the best parents that Zain has then he will always be fine aja.”
“Mbak Rahma bener, mas.” Safira stroked the back of Ashqar's hand still on his lap with his thumb. “Mas is still disappointed with what Mbak Nita has made first and the disappointment so many times over because of yesterday's problems, but that does not mean we have to break the rope between Mbak Nita and Zain, he said, ‘kan? Mas, Zain has the right to have a happy family even though his father and biological mother are not together.”
“Zain will remain happy even though he does not know who Nita really is,” Ashqar said bitterly.
“But, mas ..”
“Let me take a minute,” cut Ashqar. “I want to think this is okay.”
Ashqar got up from his seat, sauntered through the door and there was a sound of a car being turned on.
“Nothing, Fi.” Rahma arrested Sapphira who was about to catch up with Ashqar. “Let him time is a minute.”
Safira looked at Rahma and the door alternated. Then he nodded his head and sat down beside his brother-in-law, hoping that Ashqar would return soon or that Safira could be careless about being left behind.
