The Love Story of Somplak Girl

76

"You just arrived, Ga?" asked Gerry, who had just come from the kitchen and was about to head to the room.

"Yes, Pa." Arga answered casually. "Why hasn't Papa slept?"

"Papa's drinking first. Take a break, Ga. Don't you have to work tomorrow" said Gerry. Arga nodded quickly.

"Ma ...." Arga's call stops Gerry from returning to the room. Arga was silent for a moment and looked at Gerry who had just turned around. "What does Papa think, Zahra is Aunt Laras' son?"

Gerry was slightly jolted by his son's question. Could it be that Arga was also suspicious of all that, Gerry's inner self guessed. "Papa doesn't know, Ga." Gerry slicked both shoulders simultaneously.

"Pa, if Aunt Laras and Om Setya get here, will they do a DNA test?" ask Arga expectantly.

"Ga, if they're willing, but what about Zahra? Does he agree?" Gerry asked back. The man had planned to do the DNA test, but he feared Zahra would refuse.

"Just do it, Pa. I really wish Zahra was their daughter." Arga spoke confidently.

"But, Ga. .. papa is sure that Zahra does not necessarily agree." Gerry sighed*his breathing was rough.

"I got this, Pa. This is Zahra's hair I took from the parlour." Gerry was surprised to see Arga showing a plastic sheet with a hair. In fact, Gerry looked carefully at the hair.

"Is this sure you have Zahra?" ask Gerry to make sure.

"Then let papa call Om Setya. Let him come straight to Indonesia tomorrow, not the day after tomorrow." Gerry was so excited, so was Arga. Both men are hopeful that their allegations are correct. After that, Arga said goodbye to the room because he wanted to rest immediately.

After getting a call from Gerry, Setya and Laras rush forward their flight. There is great hope from parents who have lost a daughter. Even if Zahra is not their daughter, but both Laras and Setya are determined to adopt Zahra. Consider as their daughter especially soon Zahra will marry Arga.

They arrive in Indonesia when the sun is almost sinking, and head straight to Arga's apartment. Upon arrival at the apartment, Setya and Laras were impatient. They rushed to the hospital for a DNA test.

Next morning.

"Ga, will you take auntie to meet Zahra?" pinta Laras while they were having breakfast together.

"Just come to the office, Auntie. Zahra works as an office girl at ADS Group." Arga answered while chewing the food.

"Auntie's shy, Ga. Didn't you know that aunt just got here." The barrel inhales deeply and exhales roughly. It seemed that he no longer had the patience to meet Zahra.

"Laras, how about we go to Lisa's house first, then we ask to take her to the office. I'm sure Lisa will never refuse" Melda said. A smile on Laras' lips flashed when he heard the idea. Without waiting for long, Laras immediately agreed.

After breakfast, Laras and Melda went along with Arga who was about to pick up Pandu. However, Arga first dropped off the two women in the main house of the Andaksa Family. The arrival of Laras and Melda was greeted enthusiastically by Lisa, and when Laras made his point, Lisa rushed to get ready to leave for the company.
