The Happy End

24. The Failed Vacation

A few months passed.

Arka was chatting with Alwi on the phone.

Linda saw Arka smiling while calling.

Just chatting with her son, you can be so happy, Linda's mind

"Yes it's already night, Alwi sleep yes don't forget ablution first," said Arka called

Arka turned off her connection and immediately lay down on her bed.

Arka looked at the calendar on her phone and immediately sighed. He got up and came out of the room, he saw his mother sitting dreamy on the sofa.

He walked slowly closer to his mother.

Arka holding her Mama's arm, Linda looked towards Arka with a faint smile.

"Mama hasn't slept?" ask Arka

"Yet. Oh yeah, who were you talking to? how happy it is." Linda pretended not to know.

Arka's face immediately changed because she felt bad.

"Chat with Alwi's son Vito and Hana," said Arka honestly.

"You like her so much?" ask Linda

Arka was silent for a moment and nodded slowly.

He looked towards his mother.

"But I will not force Mama again, hopefully one day Mama can open my heart to this choice of mine" Arka said

"Mama wants you to be happy so pursue your happiness, may you succeed" Linda said, holding Arka's hand.

Arka smiled looking at her mother.

He kissed her mother's hand repeatedly

"Thank you very much Ma" said Arka happily as she hugged her Mama.

Linda is also happy, although actually a bit sad.

Wijayanto looked at them and just smiled and went back into the room.

"Just meet her parents" Linda said

Arka let go of her embrace and immediately nodded.

"I'm going to find Hana to her village and do Nadzar" Arka said

Linda nodded and was delighted to see the spirit of Arka.

The next day Arka was ready to leave.

Arka looked at her Papa.

"I'm sorry for having to ask for a few days off" Arka said

"What's wrong, you just be careful and come back as soon as possible" said Wijayanto

Arka nodded and immediately left.

Linda stopped Arka's steps.

"This gives it to Hana Aisya" Linda said

Arka smiled looking at the ring her mother gave her. Arka took it and thanked him and left immediately.

Mom and Dad smiled.

"Hopefully he is welcome" Linda said

Wijayanto smiled looking at Linda.

Arka was already in the taxi, he smiled at Hana's address paper.

Arriving at the airport he immediately entered because he had bought tickets online.

Arka was already in the plane, He grasped tightly the ring box in his hand.

May you accept this Inner Ark

Arriving at Pontianak airport, Arka got off the plane and immediately walked.

Outside the airport, he stopped a taxi. The taxi stopped in front of him.

"Can't get to this area?" ask Arka

The taxi driver looked at the address Arka gave.

"It can, but this place is a bit far away so the cost is a bit expensive," said the taxi driver.

"It's okay, sir" said Arka

"Please come in" said the taxi driver.

Arka immediately opened the car door and immediately sat in front with the driver.

The taxi driver started to run the car.

"Where from?" ask Driver

"From Jakarta Pak, this is the first time coming to the city of Pontianak" said Arka

"Oh, look at the view of our city" said the driver

Arka nodded then looked outwards.

"How many hours did you get there?" ask Arka

"About 6 hours up," said the driver

"It's a long time, too" said Arka

"So the place to go is already in the village."

Along the way Arka saw the outside view.

"Sir, we look for the mosque first, then enter Dzuhur again" said Arka

They went down in front of the mosque.

Arka and the taxi driver directly walked towards the ablution place.

They also entered when everyone was willing to start praying. They immediately began their prayers because everything outside had entered.

After finishing Arka and the taxi driver returned to the car and immediately continued their journey.

"This is still far away so if you want to sleep, just sleep," said the driver kindly.

Arka nodded.

He closed his eyes for a moment.

1 Hour long Arka sleep, he immediately woke up and saw the scenery again.

"It's not as crowded here in Jakarta" Arka said

"Yes, here only in the city is a bit crowded, if it has entered the village there are not too many vehicles," said the driver.

Arka saw the clock.

"About 2 hours, later when Asar we stop again" said Arka

"Yes" said the driver

The day began to afternoon, Arka smiled as they had entered the village area.

"It's almost there, sir?" ask Arka

"Yes, but the address of the house is less clear so we ask people first" said the taxi driver.

The taxi stopped in front of Tia's meatball stall.

Arka got down from the car, everyone looked at him because he was a stranger.

"Assalamu 'alaikum ma'am, would you like to ask?" ask Arka

"Wa'alaikumussalam, what do you want to ask?" tia was friendly

"Where do I find Hana Aisya's house?" ask Arka

"Oh son of Mr Hairul who just returned a few months ago from Jakarta huh?"

"Well, ma'am, can you show me the way?" ask Arka

"Let's take a walk, yes, only 100 meters" said Tia

"I'm paying for a taxi first" Arka said

Arka went straight to the taxi driver.

"My brother get down here, just" said Arka

"Ah yes alright." the taxi driver directly got out of the car to get out Arka's stuff.

Arka took her bag.

He paid more for the taxi driver.

"Thank you" said the driver.

"I should be grateful to have been delivered so far" said Arka

"It's my job" said the driver

Arka immediately said hello and said hello, taxi drivers also farewell.

Arka immediately followed Tia who started walking.

The neighbors looked at him, Arka smiling politely at them.

Arriving in front of Mr. Hairul's house.

"This is his house, let me call you" said Tia

"Sorry Mom, it's a pain" Arka said

"Not what." Tia walked straight to the door.

"Assalamu 'alaikum" said Tia

Ms. Dahlia who was in the kitchen with Hana immediately answered her greetings.

"It looks like Tia's voice, Mak looks ahead first" said Bu Dahlia

"Yes Mak" said Hana.

Bu Dahlia went straight out and looked towards Tia and Arka.

Arka smiled at him.

"Mum this is the guy looking for Hana" Tia said

"Oh please come in" said Bu Dahlia puzzled.

At that time Alwi and Arif had just returned from playing at school.

Alwi looked at Arka and immediately ran towards Arka.

"Om Arka" he said as he ran

Arka smiled and immediately raised Alwi.

"Yes, my mother left first" said Tia

Dahlia.

"Thank you" said Arka

Tia nodded and immediately left.

"You can come here" said Alwi

"Kangen color is the same as Alwi" he replied

"Let's go in, we'll talk inside." Ms. Dahlia invited Arka in.

They all went into the house.
