ATIQA
Chapter 20: Dinner

Ardi was seen getting back into the car. Atiqah was waiting for him inside. One tentengan contains the foundation he left to Atiqah while the other tentengan contains snacks for Robi, he put in the middle seat. Atiqah immediately opened the foundation and then bottled to the part that had a reddish mark on his neck.

"Still looking?" atiqah asked Ardi who kept looking at her, bringing her neck closer. The car has not moved, it is still in the minimarket parking lot.

"Udah kok" Ardi observed the points where the reddish marks were.

"Really?" Ardi nodded, his hands busy moving gears from P to N then R, rewind his car. Turn the steering wheel, change the gears back from R to N then D. The car drove towards Atiqah's house.

"Trus what is it?" pointing to the bag with the minimarket logo that Ardi put in the middle seat.

"That's a snack for Robi. Kasian he had been left a week by his parents in the hospital, also left by his brother who was busy courting" said Ardi then giggled.

"Ishh..dating-dating" grumbled Atiqah. Ardi focused on the road again.

The car turns left, goes into the street of Atiqah house. Ardi parked his car right in front of the terrace. Robi ran to meet the arrival of her brother and also Ardi.

"Mas Ardi." pulled Ardi's hand, kissed the back of the hand. Atiqah raised her eyebrows, looking at Ardi and Robi alternately. Ardi smiled sweetly displaying his dimples, scrambling Robi's hair.

"Heh...kesambet what are you deck? mba himself never salim so" Atiqah folded his hands in front of the chest. Not yet had time to answer, Ardi gave a snack to Robi.

"Yes.makasih. I often love snacks for me" featuring rows of teeth.

"Had to.basic boy!" Atiqah was about to pinch his sister's head but Robi had dodged, running into the house while continuing to scream. "Mom, Mba Atiqah wants to prick my head" Robi fights his mother.

"Basic of the sniffler!" Atiqah.

Ardi rubbed his back. "Propsy. Yuuk in?! kasian father with your mother must have waited for us long".

Atiqah walked first, Ardi followed.

"Sorry mom. Our old. It was a little jammed" Ardi reasoned. A made up reason for sure. In reality they were fighting in a car in front of a city park.

"No papa nak Ardi. Sit over! mom ready the plates first yes. Cicipin snack market, but mother does not make her own. Mom goes to the neighbor. Guaranteed to be good. Eaten huh?!" said Ms. Asri, then passed towards the kitchen to take the plate.

"Yes ma'am" Ardi picked up a red market snack containing green beans, my cake.

"Aja who brought the ma'am" Atiqah took over the pile of dishes that Asri's mother would bring to the dining table.

Ardi still enjoys the market with Robi. Atiqah occasionally joined the chat with the two. Asri picked up her husband in the room. Mr. Bondan has been on a break since he came home this afternoon.

"Eh son Ardi. It's old?" ask Mr. Bondan when he sees Ardi sitting in the dining room.

"Lumayan. How's father? any better?" asked Ardi to look at Mr. Bondan until he sat right in front of him.

"Udah is good, but it does have to rest a lot" Ardi agreed with the words of Mr. Bondan.

The five of them ate dinner with laughter. Ardi quickly adapted to the Atiqah family. Atiqah was amazed by her boyfriend. But there was worry in his heart. It was impossible for him to continue being with an Ardi Danurdara. He was afraid that Ardi's parents would do bad things to his father. Because his father was just a factory worker, a subordinate who was not at the same level as the Danurdara conglomerate family. Although Ardi threatened his father not to do anything to Atiqah, it would not be that easy for Sigit to give up.

Brak brak...

The sound of the door breaking sounded loud. Mr. Bondan who had entered the room again was surprised. Ardi and Robi are watching a television show. Atiqah who was washing dishes was jumped to hear the sound of the buzz.

"The ardi! The ardi!" the sound of the adult male thunder rang out loudly on the doorstep.

"Who?" ask Asri to Atiqah and Ardi. Atiqah shook her head.

"Mother, go in the room again. Let Atiqah open" Atiqah does not want his mother and father to see what will happen next. Atiqah knew who was shouting in front of Ardi's mutterings. Ms. Asri went back into the room.

"Let me open, you behind me. Robi..you're there!" said Ardi pulled Atiqah's hand to take cover behind his body and pointed Robi to remain silent inside.

"Yes mas" Robi obeyed Ardi's words.

Ardi opened the door, hardened his jaw. His father was so desperate to come to the house of Atiqah with several bodyguards.

"Lad..." Ardi was so upset. He turned to the door of Asri's room and Mr. Bondan. Don't let them know who's coming.

"Well, are you here? Huh uh?! you could have ngehina Papa kaya gini. It's late and you're still in this poor woman's house?" Sigit pointed at Atiqah's face.

"Don't talk Papa! don't scream. Mr. Bondan again breaks" Ardi lowers the volume of his voice warning his father with emphasis.

"Papa doesn't care. Now home! and don't even try to get here again! Bring her!!" tell Sigit on his two bodyguards to get Ardi into his car.

"Deliver!! Atiqahs...Atiqah" Ardi was dragged and then pushed into Sigit's car. Atiqah shuddered, her heart ached.

"Come in! take Ardi's bag inside. Must have the car keys in the bag. You bring the car!" Sigit ordered one of his other bodyguards into Atiqah's house.

"Excuse me!" The atiqah shifts as the person goes inside.

"Mr..." Atiqah turned to look at Asri who was standing in front of her room. Staring at the big man passing by, carrying Ardi's bag. Atiqah said nothing to her mother.

"It's Master" said the bodyguard carrying Ardi's bag.

"Bring Ardi's car home. From tomorrow you take my son to school! and keep it tight. Do not let Ardi be visited by this poor woman!" he pointed back at Atiqah's face. Bu Asri who heard it directly approached his daughter. His eyes were round, who came and made a rowdy night.

"Good.like this is getting easier for me. Don't go near Ardi anymore! if you don't want anything with Bondan in the factory. Remember that!!" Sigit left the porch, got in the car. Ardi was bound and in the duct tape of his mouth, so that he would not act.

Because of the chaos, the neighbors around Atiqah house crowded outside the fence. Seeing how Sigit humiliated Atiqah and his family.

"Mba.so son Ardi was.." his words hung but Atiqah knew what his mother meant.

"Yes ma'am, Mba also just found out today" her tone sounded lethargic. Ardi's father humiliated his family in front of everyone. It's definitely a gossip material.

"Udah. We go in, we talk in the dalem" after closing the door, they both turn around and turn back. Mr. Bondan stood in front of the room, clutching his chest.

"Sir..why sir? chest pain?" ms. Asri held her husband's body. "Get in, sir, take a break" brought back into the room. Atiqah ran towards her room, closing and locking the door. His body was falling behind the door. Closing his face and sobbing.

Seriate....
