Sharing Love: Sunset With Love
Advice from Papa Anggara
“Ya Allah” Arfan rubbed his face rough hearing. “Arin, where did you”.
As he tried to calm his mind to find where his first wife was, someone called out to him.
“Arfan”
The man called by his name turned towards the source of the voice. His family members walked and stood right in front of him.
“Ngapain you here?”
“Oh it, hm, I want ..”
“You what?” Urged Mama Risa after waiting for a long time for her son's answer.
“I want .. check”
A faint smile was seen on Arfan's face. Everyone in the standing position was staring confused, they piker Arfan would answer if he went to the hospital to visit his father-in-law.
“Check what?” Ask Papa Anggara again with a calm face. He does not want to cause a commotion in that place about his anger towards Arfan which is for sure he is the cause of Arini choosing to leave and does not want Arfan to know the situation of his daughter-in-law if Arini is okay, according to a message from Steve.
“Hm, Abdominal pain, Pa. Aduh” replied Arfan while holding his stomach.
And Arfan was surprised to see his family members behaving normally, especially his own mother.
“Ma?”
“Huft, what is your purpose here?” Mama Risa's turn to ask her son. She did not expect Arfan was one of the reasons for her daughter-in-law's departure. Ever since she found out the contents of Arini's message through her friend, Mama Risa asked herself. Does Arini know anything in her marriage other than about Arfan's second marriage?
“JAWAB” Jerky Mom Risa.
“A-I ..”
“Where's Mama's daughter-in-law, huh?” Urge Mama Risa again when she sees her son just silent and confused to answer where his own wife is.
“Dek, reply” Finally Kak Ratih said that sentence after he could only quietly see his sister could not answer the words of their parents.
“Hiks ... hiks .. What's wrong with Mama in the past, huh? Why would you hurt your own wife? Answer, Arfan”
Mama Risa was crying in her husband's arms. She can't hold back her feelings ever since Arini disappeared and turns out to be her own daughter-in-law who chose to leave.
“Mama knows if our religion allows husbands to have more wives than one sari. Hiks .. but, what's the lack of Arini in your eyes, huh? Arini is your best friend, Arfan. The woman we chose to be your life partner in the hope that you can live together forever because you already know each other.” The middle-aged woman tries to express all her grief regarding her son's marriage apparently unhappy because of the presence of a third person among them.
Arfan lowered his head. He couldn't see the woman I loved and respected so disappointed in him.
“Ma-maaf”
“Your apology cannot immediately return sister-in-law Brother standing with us now, Arfan” Greetings Kak Ratih firmly who sat beside her mother and stroked Mama Risa's back.
“I ..”
“Kakak disappointed, Arfan. You have hurt Arini just as you hurt Brother and Mama”
“But, I ..”
“Papa hope you have no regrets with what you have done to your own married life”
“Pa ..”
“Should have, you find out first the truth before making that decision”
Anggara family members stared confusedly at the words of the head of the family.
“A-what do you mean, Papa?”
Mama Risa took off her embrace and stared inside her husband.
“Pa?” Call Kak Ratih when his father has not answered the same questions his mother like him.
“It is not Papa's right to say it” Papa Anggara replied as he stared intently at his son who shook his head like he was saying no to his papa.
“Arfan? You know what your papa meant?”
Now, Arfan did not expect this situation to come at the wrong time. He knew that if his lies about the reason for his marriage would be exposed just as it was when his family married him again.
“Arfan, Mama ask you. ANSWER!” Sentak Kak Ratih who is still busy in the arms of her husband.
“Ma-maf”
“We don't need your apologies, Dek. What does Papa mean? I'm sure you're hiding something from all of us, including Arini. Aye right?”
Arfan closed his eyes, he had to be sincere and accept that his extended family would be very angry and disappointed in him after hearing the answer from Papa Anggara's statement earlier.
“Se-actually, I've already ham ..”
