The Crystall Is Mine

3.6 Promises

'We went to grandpa's house this morning.'

That's what Daffa said after waking up in the morning and getting questions about the photo of the man with Daffa's father.

This is where Daffa and Crystall are located, in front of the door of the magnificent house of the Effendi family.

"Are we not too early and bother Grandpa too Mama? Can't you tell me yourself where my father is?" ask Crystall.

Daffa. "Let Grandpa explain."

Crystall was silent. Letting Dafa press the bell of the house, until the door is opened by the servant there.

"Mr - Miss. Please." The waiter widened the door, giving room for his pair of employers to enter.

"Where's grandfather?" ask Daffa.

"Big Master is in the reading room. After breakfast," replied the waiter.

Daffa walked first and Crystall followed. The arrival of the two was warmly welcomed by Abiseka, an old man who already had many wrinkles.

"Well, what is this early morning wind coming?" Abiseka gives her hand to kiss Crystall and Daffa.

At that time Kania and Safa also entered. Because the Daffa and Crystall tumbens came this early too without giving any news.

Abiseka asked everyone to sit on the sofa. Because it seems that what Daffa is going to talk about is a little serious.

"What's wrong?" abiseka asked after all sitting down.

"Crystall found a photo of Papa's best friend, Om Cakra. He also likened it to a picture of his father." Daffa gave Crystall the code to remove the photos in the wallet.

Crystall. He gave me the photo he had been keeping. It is a picture of his father and his late mother.

"Did grandpa know her? And why is Dad taking photos with his dad Daffa?" crystall asked with a hopeful heart.

Abiseka sighed heavily, taking off her reading glasses and rubbing a few tears from her wrinkled petals.

The one who took the photo was Kania. She was a little surprised to see a picture of her husband's best friend.

"This is your father?" ask Kania.

Crystall.

Kania then gave a demanding look to Abiseka.

The match between Daffa and Crystall she only follows Abiseka's will. She loves Crystall because she's a good woman.

"Why can you explain it to us? There must be a connection between Cakra and this matchmaking, right?” tanyakanya.

"OK, this time it can not be hidden anymore" said Abiseka.

"So that man is my father? Does that mean Grandpa knows where my dad is now? Take me to see him, cake. All my life I've never met my own father." Crystall seemed to be begging.

Just this time Daffa saw Crystall's eyes were so sad and a condition of sadness. Reflexes he grasped the two hands of the woman who were squeezing each other to vent the taste in the heart.

Crystall turned his head, demanding an answer from Daffa. Because Dafa probably knows where his father is.

"Do you know where my father is?"

Daffa did not answer. He only channeled the power from his hands so that Crystall could receive an answer from Abiseka.

"Crys, your father left you to me." Abiseka is back.

"meaning?"

Abiseka seemed to move from her chair to walk a little difficult because she was very old. He opened the drawer on his desk and picked up an envelope that looked worn brown.

All were silent to notice the movements of Abiseka who again sat in his original position. His expression looked heavy and also filled with sadness there.

"This is a message from your father named Cakra." Abiseka held out the object to Crystall.

Crystall accepted it, shook slightly, then he opened.

As if allowing Daffa to read it, Crystall leaned the paper slightly toward Daffa.

[Alzira Allando Crystalline. I am Cakrawinata Allando. I'm sorry if you've been hiding all this time. I'm trying to raise a lot of money for the word deserve to take you out of Rosa's hands.

I was ashamed to leave you when your mother died. It's just that Dad's love for your mom is huge. Every time you see your mother, it makes your grief multiply.

At that time Dad was very drop, face that reality. Father's disease relapses several times each time grieving about the death of the woman you love so much. Until finally I met an old friend from the Effendi family.

Since then, I started building a business with him. Until in the end we can establish the Effendi group so high. I'm getting ready to pick you up. Accept all your hatred because you have been living with other families.

Father has also given your responsibility to the Effendi family. Maybe it's an arranged marriage, but Dad did this because he knew very well that the Effendi family was the best family you had. In a sense you can marry Daffa Louise Effendi. A man I've known since childhood.

It's nothing, if God calls you sooner. At least up there I can be relieved that you're living with a nice guy. Gained the love of this honorable family.

I love you as much as I love your mother. I'm sorry if Dad's decision at the time was so wrong.

Hopefully after you read this your hatred for Dad will decrease a little

See you, honey. I always pray for happiness for you.]

There's nothing Crystall can say right now. His chest felt tight, his eyes even reddened. Her tears just glistened as she pressed against her extremely painful chest.

For a moment Crystall felt the Father's affection from the words on the paper and he turned back to Abiseka rubbed her cheeks from tears that never subsided.

"Then where's Dad?" tanyanya in the middle of sobs.

Everyone is now on Crystall. Even Safa who had hated was now feeling pity. Because he and the rest of the family know where Cakra is now.

"Excuse us, at that time the two friends were on a business trip and came home late. In the silence of the night, we got word that a terrible accident had happened to your father and his father Daffa. You ever heard of Papa Daffa dying in an accident?" ask Abiseka.

Crystall nodded with a frightened heart, afraid of an even more miserable answer than this.

Abiseka wiped away the tears dripping down her cheeks. The highlight was staring into the grieving incident a few years ago.

"They seem to be best friends of all life. They both died in the same hospital. The medical team is doing their best. In fact, Daffa himself who handled his father was not able to save." Abiseka paused, staring at Crystall so deeply.

"Cakra is dead, Crys," he continued.

Crystall's cry broke. He nodded in disbelief. But that's the truth. And there was nothing Daffa could do but embrace his wife, letting Crystall spill all the sadness in her chest.

Crystall said nothing. He's just crying.

How could he have been looking for the whereabouts of his father but apparently the Father was already in heaven. Just leave a piece of paper and also - Daffa.

Does that mean only Daffa he has right now?

***

For an hour Daffa accompanied Crystall in front of Cakra's tomb. The woman talked a lot there. It was as if his father was in front of him.

"It's almost dark, Crys." Daffa said softly while rubbing Crystall's shoulder.

"Can you accompany me here anytime?" crystall's great-grandson with his voice that was running out because he was not constantly crying.

Daffa nodded interspersed with a faint smile.

"I'll accompany you. Let alone this place. I will accompany you, like my mother who accompanied my father until the end of his life. Also like your father who accompanied your mother until death separated."

Crystall. His cries slowly dissipated as his focus was now on what Daffa had said.

"You don't have to comfort me. You tau? The painful thing in life is to find someone who has promised happiness, but in fact he who denies," said Crystall.

Daffa stood up first. He gave his hand to Crystall. Until the woman stood up.

He looked inside his wife. The woman he never thought would be his wife.

"Maybe my love is not great yet. Maybe that happiness I can't promise in its entirety. But I will try to be your husband. The legitimate husband. Not a husband on paper. I tore up our contract marriage agreement" Daffa said.

"Daffa "

"I know, I know we don't love each other. Maybe we live in the world of Siti Nurbaya. But we can begin to string together our happiness from now on. Happiness together."

Crystall was silent. He was looking for something in both eyes of Daffa. Maybe he found there was a lie there. But Crystall saw the highlight in earnest.

"Alzira Crystalline Orlando. Do you want to start a life with me, Daffa Louise Effendi?" Daffa grasped both hands of Crystall quite tightly.

"Then, what about your personal life?"

"If you say you're ready. That means my personal life, as well as your business. I'm not gonna hide anything. I'll finish it all, too. Everybody, Crys. Including that woman. Because after this, you're the only woman in my life."

Crystall's lips slowly smiled. Then nod.

"I, Alzira Crystalline Allando. Accept you, Daffa Louise Effendi. As my legitimate and complete husband. We'll find happiness together."

Daffa immediately pulled Crystall's hand into his arms.

Of love? Maybe there isn't yet. Even though there is, it is still a fingernail. But isn't marriage enough to be based on love? But marriage, and any kind of relationship requires a shared commitment, as well as a mutual respect and responsibility for each other's roles.
