ATIQA
Chapter 60: Ardi's Struggle

In the morning, Atiqah was dressed and wearing white kebaya. Thin makeup that she polishes herself. Both marriages will be closed. Only the nuclear family, the upstream and also the witnesses.

The living room is laid out simply is ready to be used to say the promise this morning.

"The son of a very beautiful mother" said Asri while rubbing the arm of Atiqah. They both waited in the room. When Ardi comes later, the new Atiqah can come out.

"Thank you ma'am" Atiqah smiled. The nervousness was clearly visible on his face.

"Why mba? deg-deg an?" ask Asri to her daughter. Atiqah. "Relax, it'll be Ardi's soon".

"Yes ma'am" Atiqah tried to calm herself down.

Time has shown at 10 past 15 minutes but Ardi has not come. The leader and the witness sat down 10 minutes ago.

Bondan looks anxious, as well as Atiqah and Asri in the room.

"May be stuck mba. Relax ... calm down yeah" Asri calmed her daughter, thinking positively.

At 10:30 Ardi is still not here. Bondan knocked on Atiqah's room.

"Mba, try Ardi's phone where it's been" Bondan said after the door was opened.

"Yes sir" Atiqah grabbed her phone, swiping the screen looking for Ardi's name.

Twice Atiqah contacted Ardi but there was no answer, nor was he appointed. Bondan's face turned upset to see his daughter back and forth touching the screen.

Atiqah's hand trembled, what she was worried about seemed to come true.

"Where's mba?" ask Asri. Atiqah shook her head.

Brakk...Bondan slams the door of his daughter's room. He's very angry. Ardi could not be contacted.

"Mba phone again .. There must be something wrong. There is no way Ardi did not come ma'am" Atiqah cried while continuing to contact Ardi. Asri sat limply on her daughter's bed.

"Where is Bondan? it's almost eleven but the groom hasn't come yet. I have to go to the building at eleven. There are also married this afternoon" said Mr. Penghulu. Bondan is confused as to how.

"Bu ... number is not active" Atiqah was sitting limp. His phone escaped from his hand. Atiqah cried and shouted. "No way, no way". Asri hugged her daughter.

"Sorry Mr. Bondan, I have to go now" Mr. Penghulu got up carrying his bag. Bondan couldn't hold back because there were other people waiting to be married as well.

Ardi was preparing to wear his best clothes. One black suit and shoes. The apartment bell rings. Ardi immediately opened the door, he was sure it was his father. There's no way her father could have dodged it.

"Mama? what the fuck?" Ardi retreated trying to avoid two sturdy men who came with Anne.

"Bring him!" anne's orders to two of her men. Ardi thrashed but his strength lost terribly.

"Mrs ... Don't mess with Ardi! Ardi should marry Atiqah. She's pregnant with Ardi's son, Ma. Mama's granddaughter" Ardi yelled along the hallway while kicking in the air.

"No! not my mother's grandchild! Mama is not going! Bring it!" tell her again to her man.

Ardi was put in a black van. His mouth was in duct tape, his hands and feet were tied. It's like a kidnapping.

"Ma, it can't be like this. Ardi should marry the woman. Don't be rash Ma. If Papi finds out, we could have Ma" Sigit arrested Anne who was about to enter the van. Sigit's a little late. They met in the basement of the apartment.

"No! Mama can't see Ardi making it our daughter-in-law. Mama can't!" Anne went straight into the van leaving Sigit to fall after being pushed hard by his wife.

"Ma ... Mamma. Just stop! Don't take Ardi!" Sigit continued to bang on the glass of the car and the car darted quickly out of the parking lot. Sigit ran towards his car, trying to follow.

Anne looked at Ardi and shook her son's head. "Goblokk you! Stupid! where is your brain? could-can want to marry the son of the kingpin. He just wants the Danurdara family's treasure. You're darahainin. Know?!!" Anne was really upset. Ardi looked at Anne fiercely, he could not reply to her mother's words. His mouth was tightly closed.

Sigit continued to follow until at the airport. Anne's really gonna take her son abroad.

"Dropped all! Don't get too flashy! Keep tight!" Anne opened the car door, coming down gracefully wearing sunglasses.

"Hello mom .. Yes, I've brought Ardi. We're flying to Singapore soon" Anne answered a phone call from her mother who lives in the Lion country, then put her phone back in the bag.

Ardi came down with two men. He looked for a way to be free and immediately came to the house of Atiqah. The time is very limited, it shows at 10:30.

"Ardi's going to the toilet" he told Anne.

"You don't alesan!" Anne is not fooled.

"You want Ardi to scream? Ardi could say kidnapped again. Everyone will look at Mama. Want to be a viral spectacle and Mama's face on social media?" Ardi bullied Anne.

"There ... Take care of him! don't run away!" Anne flicked her hand and sat down.

Ardi walked towards the toilet. From a distance he saw Sigit and two of his men entering the airport door. Ardi nodded giving his Papa a sign.

Ardi and two of Anne's men broke into the toilet. Sigit and two of his men entered, and there was a fight there. Ardi exited with Sigit, running quickly out of the airport.

"Still Pa" said Ardi after entering using seatbelt. Sigit just cleared his throat. To be honest he also disagreed but due to the threat of his son, Sigit had no other choice.

Sigit drove his car at full speed on the motorway. On Monday, the toll was empty. Ardi reached for his phone to call Atiqah but his phone died.

"Borrow Papa's phone .." raise his hand, ask Sigit's phone. Sigit took it out of his suit pocket.

Ardi contacted Atiqah but was not also picked up, a busy call. Ardi chose to wait until they got there.

At exactly 11pm, Ardi and Sigit arrived at Atiqah's house. It looks Bondan who is talking to the penghulu on the porch of the house. The ruler was getting ready to leave with a bag.

Bondan, the bully and the witness look towards the car that just came.

"Sir, sorry I'm late. Can we just start now?" Ardi runs around to Bondan and the ruler.

"I'm sorry I have to be somewhere else" said Mr. Penghulu.

"I'll give it a little extra" said Sigit standing next to Ardi. The ruler weighed in on Sigit's offer. Look at the clock on his right wrist.

"Well" said the ruler, back into the house. Bondan is relieved, his daughter's future husband is coming.

Atiqah and his mother looked at each other, hearing the voice of the people who came. Atiqah got up and immediately opened the door. Crying broke. His anxiety was melted when he saw Ardi had sat opposite his father.

Ardi turned his head, his eyes glazed over at Atiqah.

"Mas Ardi is ready?" said mr. penghulu.

"Ready" replied Ardi firmly. Atiqah remained standing with Asri in front of the room door while watching Ardi say a promise, shaking hands with Bondan. Sigit sat next to his son.

The word "Well" said. Atiqah hugged her mother. "Thank you ma'am. Mba is much wrong with mother and father" he said.

"Mother is happy. This is probably the best option for Mba. Be a better wife and mother. Make all of this a life lesson. Do not be rash to do something" said Asri. Atiqah.

Atiqah and Ardi are officially husband and wife. Ardi took Atiqah to Jogja to Subroto's house. Only that place was safe for both of them.

Bondan and Asri release their daughter with a taste of haru. His young daughter must feel early pregnancy and away from parents.
