54 Does Restu Not Matter

Zaini Dahlan, so the handsome middle-aged man called his name. It was clear from his appearance that he was the one who was. It may also be referred to as a wealthy man, although the man who was introduced as Arafka's father did not mention in detail about how he was. At least every person who is there, can call it a rich person, who has a business entity, whatever form.

So now answered Nizam's question mark earlier, about Arafka who has more than one car. It must have been because he got economic support from his parents.

"Dahlan's father!" Arafka came into the room, and he was surprised to find who was there now.

"Rafka." Realizing the arrival of the son, Zaini Dahlan immediately greeted him with a warm embrace

"So ...?" Rafka looked at the man standing close in front of her, with a questionable look.

"Yes, when I called you earlier, I was on my way here" said Dahlan, who understood what Arafka's gaze meant to her.

"I thought you were sick, Rafka." Zaini Dahlan patted Arafka's shoulder gently.

Arafka only shook his head briefly, while arranging towards Meidina Shafa for a moment.

The young man who accompanied Zaini Dahlan came forward. "Good day, Mr. Rafka," he said, bowing his head and two shoulders slightly.

"Siang" said Rafka, seen trying to recognize.

"I'm Renaldi, sir. The one a week ago was assigned to Bali, in connection with the burning factory," the man said.

"Oh yeah, thank you, Mas Reinaldi." Arafka said kindly, after being able to remember who the man in front of her was.

"It has become my duty and duty, sir," the man replied with a look of carefree face,.

"Where have you been, Rafka?" zaini asked Dahlan, looking at Arafka's handsome face, looking incandescent longing, drifting from her eyes.

"From college,"

"So, you're speeding up your college days there?"

"Yes, Dad."

"Don't be too self-exciting, son. You've been to college in two places at once, now you still want to speed up that PTN. All of that would need extra power." Zaini Dahlan was seen staring worriedly at Arafka, as was the parent's attitude towards the child.

Irfan Arafka Wafdan is twenty-four years old. Though all this time, they knew that the young man was still twenty years old. It turns out that's not a true fact. The truth was, the young man was only one year younger than Meidina Shafa. Though one of the factors that make Meidina feel reluctant about this matchmaking, is because of their age that is far adrift. And the truth is not like this.

"Dad pray you succeed, Rafka. May everything be according to your wishes. And I'm still waiting for your decision." Zaini Dahlan, once again patting Arafka on the shoulder.

"Sorry, Dad ..." Arafka slashed his own words immediately.

"Dad will wait, son. But please tell me how long I have to wait."

"I can't give you any certainty, Father," Arafka said in a weakened voice.

"What can't be in a form of effort, son. Trying to make that sure." Zaini Dahlan was seen looking at her son with a hopeful gaze. I don't know what they're talking about, what and how. Just what seemed obvious, was Zaini Dahlan's expectation of Arafka, which the handsome young man did not seem to be able to meet immediately.

"God willing." Arafka gave me such an answer. Which can be understood with a different understanding. It could be, Rafka could not be able to meet expectations, but not until the heart to break expectations, or it could be an agreement, that he is willing to try, and fulfill the wishes. But for sure, Zaini Dahlan instills hope for an answer, which even though it does not produce a clarity.

"Don't take too long, Rafka. I'm not young anymore. At least before I go home, I can give all the trust to the rightful."

Arafka simply nodded, and did not accompany any words in response. Though the atmosphere has been transformed into silence, when Zaini Dahlan put forward a conversation that does not include an explanation.

"Why, you didn't tell me, son. If you already have a wife? I thought the sick one was you, it was your fiance." Zaini Dahlan has changed course. But, the topic he proposed this time, it could already be understood what he meant. However, what they do not understand, is the actions of Arafka who did not tell his father, about his engagement.

What the hell is going on?

Judging from the interaction of Zaini Dahlan and Arafka, it seemed like they were fine. There's nothing to worry about either. But why for such a big event, Arafka did not tell her father at all. Indeed, for a man, when he decides to marry, he does not need a guardian, unlike a woman. However, at least, telling parents is very important, because their blessings and prayers, proved powerful to take their children to the gates of heaven.

Then, was the old man's blessing not important to an Arafka?

Now, various question marks were stirring in every mind, for what was Arafka's reason for acting. And it seemed that at that time, not Hnaya Zaini Dahlan, but also all who were there, were both waiting for what Arafka would answer.

Unanswered question marks in each of them, about the talk of Arafka and his father who did not show the true meaning, now coupled with the facts presented today.

What happened to Arafka, behind her decision?
