There's Only You

Chapter 10 - The Birth of Arifin

Alwi replied casually with a flirting smile. It made Aurora even more furious and annoyed. Why is he always getting annoyed today by men who make his mood worse? Apart from Gibran, he even had to deal with this shitty guy!

Aurora let out a heavy sigh of regret, before she said again. "Sorry, your jokes aren't very funny. Maybe another woman could melt away with your fist. But not with me. Because I'm not interested in you at all. So stop following me, because I'm busy and there's no time for you"

"That's why I'm interested in you, miss. Because you are so different from other women. Your attitude and personality really intrigued me. Miss Aurora" Alwi said honestly while smiling in admiration.

"I've already lost? I'm busy and have a lot of business. And I guess, you are also busy with the gig schedule and your thousands of fans? So you better take care of it and get your own business done. There is no need to waste time harassing me. Excuse me"

Aurora said coldly. Then he turned around and returned to his car, which again drove mingled with other vehicles.

Leaving Alwi who was staring at the woman's departure with an enchanted smile. The girl's attitude and personality made her heart even more stirred. Until he wants to know her more. The girl had completely broken her principles.

All this time he always spent his life practicing vocals and studying in the art faculty. To hone his skills in the world of sound. So that Alwi no time to think about women or romance problems.

He is also not interested in romance. Since he was a teenager, he has been ambitious to become a star that shines with his light.

So that he could follow in the footsteps of his father who was also a successful and famous musician during his life, according to his message before the man breathed his last breath.

At around seven o'clock in the evening, Alwi arrived at the restaurant that had been infused by his mother through WhatsApp. Then he walked towards the table inhabited by three very familiar people in his eyes.

"Night Om, Auntie" Sapa Alwi while pulling a chair and she sat next to her mother.

"Al Night. How are you?" Mauli smiled kindly to return Alwi's greeting.

"Alhamdulillah good Aunt"

"Well, it seems like the more days your schedule gets denser, huh?" Arifin smiled seductively.

"Yes that's how Om is. His name is also popular and rising. But no problem, this is my dream and the late Papa. So it's hard to be happy, I just enjoy it all" Alwi replied casually and resignedly.

"That's good. That is the principle of a true star. Persistent, confident, persevering, unyielding. And most importantly, have a high spirit. That's why you can become what you are now" Praise Arifin proudly.

"This is also thanks to Om who has orbited me. Without Om's help, maybe I'll never be there at this point"

"But without your own struggle and hard work, not necessarily you can become what you are today. Because Om only concerns you. The rest, thanks to your own efforts"

Arifin is a music producer who has been orbiting Alwi, so that he can become what he is now. And Arifin has never wrongly orbited Alwi. Because now the boy is becoming a valuable asset to his label.

In addition, Alwi's late father was also his best friend. So that he already considers the child like his own son and also his successor.

Seeing Alwi reminds Arifin of his youth. How ambitious he used to be to be a star. So that he could have a name this big before his old age.

Actually from a long time ago he also had the desire to make Aurora as his successor. Because the girl was his flesh blood and inherited his talent.

"Oh yes, since we all met here, I also want to tell you both. Tomorrow night Mas Arifin birthday, Mbak Ghiani and Alwi do not forget to come yes. You two will be one of our special guests" Mauli said in her soft voice.

"Om birthday?" Ask Alwi.

"Yes Al" Arifin smiled gently.

"Gee. Congratulations to Om. Sorry I just found out. So have not been able to find Om gift"

"Its okay. There's still tomorrow night Oh yeah Al, by the way, you've got a girlfriend yet?" Asked Arifin with a seductive look.

"Why indeed? How come you suddenly ask something like that?" Alwi frowned in confusion while smiling faintly.

"Yes because Om has a plan to match you with princess Om"

"Daughter? Om having a daughter? How come I've known Om, I've never, ever met Om's daughter?" Alwi asked in confusion.

"Oh yeah Om never told you? So he was the son with the first wife Om. We divorced 11 years ago. And all this time she lived with her mother. But our relationship remains harmonious. Communication is still going well. Whenever we have free time, we always use it to meet"

Aurora is having dinner in the dining room with her mother.

"Ma, I met Papa this afternoon" Aurora tried to look at Mama's expression.

"Then?" Divia asked in a flat tone, while looking and stirring the contents of her plate without looking at her daughter.

"Papa's birthday T-shirt. And he asked me to attend his party"

"Where's the problem? Hasn't Mama ever forbidden you to meet her? Mama's aware, even though we've been separated for years, but she's still your father. At any time, nothing can change that reality. So Mama has no right to forbid you from attending your own Papa's birthday"

"But.... Mama won't come? Is it... You don't want to reconcile and mend your relationship with Papa? Until when, you enemies continue....?" Aurora asked in a soft tone.

"Aurora please. Don't ask you to do more than you can. My mother never once limited your relationship with me

Your papa. Mama hope that's enough. Until now, the shadow of your father and the woman playing with fire still imprints in Mama's memory.

It's not that easy that you can forget the pain. Oh yeah, Mama's sorry about yesterday. Mama should understand your feelings better. Because Mama herself knows very well, how the pain is cheated" said Divia in a soft and flat voice. Aurora fell silent and said nothing more.
