Between Love and Destiny
The Part 188

Alea instantly wiped away Arika's tears

"I beg you not to speak ill of your father again, if there is no Papa, then you will not be in this world,after all we do not know what your father has been through all this time, just as I now know my mother was wrong, because he set papa up to marry her , but I never blame my mother, because whatever happens in this world must all be with God's permission "

"You're right everything is with God's permission but I want to be needed just as much as a girl in general, who is very close to her papa "

"Den ayu Arika don't behave like that, you will lose your charm Den Ayu "

cane Alea

"Yes I know "

"Have you tried calling your dad before?"

Arika shook her head

"So you never once called your papa ?"

Arika shook her head

"That's wrong you know, why don't you first try to open communication first with your papa , try to ask how things are because there is also the type of papa I read in the book entitled 'multiple behaviors of parents ' well in the book it is said if there is a man who is very guarding once chatter or speech with his son, what else is a daughter , because he thinks a bit reluctant to call linger usually it is often found in the class of nobility, why are you the noble Arika ?"

Arika nodded "Yes I was blue-blooded she said but when I fell and bled the color of blood on my legs was still red"

cane Arika

it made both of them laugh

"Wahahaha mending also my blood is pink but still no one says I'm pink blood"

"It's enough to make our goal is one guard our papa mama until halal"

"Agree, after that I or you first follow to be memorized "

ask Alea

"Hah Alea I haven't even thought at all to that extent that I know, have stopped why every time I imagine it my stomach suddenly nausea "

"It's not nausea but it's a sign you're accepting he's possessing your body "

Alea laughed

"I don't think it's funny at all, can we just talk about something else"

"Well, be like the king for example"

"The King you love "

Alea immediately said "But I don't like it if you marry young, you will lose a lot of your good times , ayooo if it's about marriage I'm sure you guys will be directly in the ACC well but you have to really think about this marriage, the marriage that you will live for life , you know love capital ,like it's not enough you have to really know he's a guy who how to remember Alea that's where it takes the introductory stage . you see, many people who before marriage like a perfect man never show his shortcomings, but after marriage he will bring out one by one his bad qualities "

Alea immediately smiled "Well that's the point we have Lord Arika ,I will pray and do istiqharah if God makes me lean more towards him it means I will yes but if shown something bad.I will move away slowly finished"

Arika laughed out loud "Alea you sure as much as possible can forget someone, because this heart matter can not carelessly know ".

Suddenly they just laughed, Arika's phone rang

"Your phone is Arika "

"Please get Lea "

Arika immediately answered "Whose new number is"

"Whatever knows is important "

"All right "

While driving he took the car slowly

"Yes hello"

"Hello Mbak Arika "

I heard the voice of a man

"Who is this ?"

"This mother I'm your brother's banner "

Arika's face changed

he immediately looked at Alea and mendloudspeaker handponenya for Alea to listen to his voice

"Who?"

aela asked in a whisper

"My sister"

Alea immediately whispered "It's the one who has a sister "

Arika told Alea to shut up

"okay "

"What's Tumben calling Mbak's banner?"

"Not a sister can call her brother "

Arika held back her tears so as not to spill she was very sick, because the presence of Panji was the one that made her family fall apart what else the birth of Panji was really very much awaited and awaited by her extended family

Alea directly stroked Arika's shoulder

"Remember yourself "

"Yes, I know "

nod slowly

although it looks if he really is very sick once .

They are no longer focused on Siska and Arya who are simply joking in the car

"Yes Panji how is your school ? is everything okay "

"My school is fine Ma'am, it's just that Panji wants to know the news brother, what brother does not miss Jogja anymore "

Smiling, Arika answered her, "Jogja doesn't miss me anymore, so I went back to the capital to start a new life here"

"Who Said Jogja did not miss mbak, everyone missed mbak including papa who every night slept in the room mbak "

Alea closed her mouth she felt a deep sadness from her papa Arika

but the sadness that had penetrated his chest made Arika not as easy as it was easily destroyed

"It is only natural that the Panji is his home papa he is free to sleep Anywhere "

"No Ma'am, Papa does not speak even if he misses his children but from his eyes Panji knows if papa can not be far from Mbak, go home Mbak occasionally see the state of papa , because however we know what is in the human heart is only God, we never know what we see is really real or something that only according to our estimation "

Panji was very wise because he was educated very hard in contrast to Arika who was full of tenderness but Arika did not realize it , although he really loves Panji and his mother, Silvi continued, but still he is an ordinary human, he also felt that his Papa always chatted with Panji always accompanied Panji while studying, and he always , while he did not get such treatment at all , yes he knew the affection of his mother and all the members of the extended family was very abundant in him , Like a princess whose will is always obeyed but he also wants to be in line with Panji

"Sir.pa heard the Panji"

"Yes mbasuhy drive a car, just tell me what is it you call Mbak , if it is not too important later at home Mbak call again ya "

speak very well and very softly

"There is no , Panji miss it with mbak Siska usually if again to mbak who accompany Panji anywhere but currently in this big house like there is a missing Panji not only kangen with mbak but also Mama Siska "

Alea who heard the conversation of Arika and her other siblings the mother also felt how painful it was to stay in that place and felt behind the tenderness of Arika and her mother must have kept the pain very deep ,although life is rich but not hypocritical if the calmness of heart and happiness is not that easy we get, the name is also alive if smooth and straight is just the name of the Toll Road

"Yes later at home Mbak phone ya, because mbak still outside ya , fear mbak mbak not focus talking to you later "

"Yes well, the banner understands, assalammualaikum mbak "

"Waalaikum salam "

the phone was turned off

"Your sister ?"

"Yes Leah, the sister who did not come out of Mama's womb, but I was very close and dear to her , at that time I was only five years old when she was born in this world , I'm so happy especially the people around us say he is my baby sister, every night I sleep in his room with his mother who is also my aunt "

"Did your father marry into your family?"

"Yes Alea, Because the lives of the nobles are different in my family one of them, because the peak of the lineage must be held by the boys, is actually the same as Papa, Papa, he is the son of a second wife, in the family papa it is common until later she gave birth to a son , usually they are married with a blood relation or also chosen directly from his wife "

Arika nodded "Yes right "

"Gosh I didn't think that there was a real life like "

shake his head

Arika immediately laughed "Hahahaha her name is also alive what we think is impossible is indeed true "

But indeed in our religion polygamy is a natural thing than adultery "

"Well, that's right, so a reply to a wife who can withstand the patience of the gift is not a joke directly into heaven from any door he likes"

"Crazy yes I did not expect Aunt Siska to get through it all, what else I read directly the diary in my mother's book how the bars of Aunt Siska when young first "

Arika immediately laughed "Yes I also did not expect Siska who could not be defeated just like that it turned out to be , it could be that strong , his mother also lives I also sometimes do not believe that my mother can be that great ".

"Well maybe if I'm in your mama's position not one month one day just I live in the same room with the honey I immediately retreated slowly what else I was young and beautiful like your mama right "

Suddenly Arika's mind floated on the incident a few dozen years ago

"Arika let's come here, let's eat first"

Aunt Silvi is very good to her even Arika to the point of confusion to distinguish which one is her birth mother because she is really very dear to Arika

"Where's Auntie?"

"Your mother is busy with business with your father "

Arika also immediately protested "Arika does not like to see Papa and Mama take care of business Indeed her business can not be done at home alone "

Silvi laughed straight away

"Where can be that easy dear, after all the business is not a person but is a livelihood , if papa and mama do not take care of the business , continue how Arika, papa, mama can buy clothes , toy drinks for Arika "

"Papa why always go-go yes Aunt never invite Arika to play again"

At that time Arika did not realize that the turmoil of marriage problems Silvi and Arjuna had begun to close and had to happen

Siska and Arjuna are often not home because of business alone, Arjuna is trying to comfort the heart of Siska who is Luka and broken

That night I remember once Arika's recollection of the sound of her mother's cry but she did not understand what happened she only remembered ,at that time his grandmother called his mother Silvi into their room he had just closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep

"By in Bi"

The relationship between Siska and her mother Silvy is not as easy as imagined even though Siska finally tried to accept the reality as a daughter-in-law of the child who holds power in the house

That night in a large room where Arjuna and Siska used to sleep, Silvi's mother came in and sat down beside Siska

"I'm sorry auntie for this sassness aunty knows how you two feel, the pressure that comes from our family must have made your household start to shake, ' she said , but here Aunt as a parent and also as a mother wants to tell you, whatever happens aunt asks you not to part whatever it is ,

Siska Bibi knows how you feel 'Cause aunt is also a girl, although it is not easy for you to accept the fact that later the aunt's son who is also Arjuna's cousin becomes your mistress "

Little Arika did not understand what she knew Grandma aunty and her parents were talking about honey

he saw when his grandmother said his mother's honey immediately cried sobbing

Little Arika spoke in her heart

"Mama why every talk Honey must be so sweet, even though honey tastes good and sweet I really really like the taste "

Arika really does not understand if the current household her parents are in a very great and big shock ,not because of the problems between the two but the demands that must be chosen by Arjuna who inevitably he must bear ,the only boy who should have offspring and successor should also be a man

Red Siska eyes "Auntie knows how you feel lest you hate aunty and silvi.Siska aunty also does not want to make aunty child become a thorn in the flesh of your household , what else Silvi is also the daughter of her only aunt, the most important thing is if indeed you have agreed that this marriage should be carried out immediately, because the age of aunty is also soon , aunty wants to see Silvi's wedding "

Arjuna immediately cried

"Auntie I don't want to live in this world it's like if I have to make Siska suffer, why not another way for me to have a son without having to marry her "

Siska again cried too sobbing because her uterus had been lifted so she had no chance at all to have another child

"There is no other recourse for Arjuna Because the offspring of our family must result from a legitimate marriage, to keep the bebet, the seed and the weight of our family's offspring "

"Can this wedding party be done simply Bi, just like my wedding and Siska before without any music and night alone"

"Aunty can't be sure but you should know you're of noble descent and this is your hometown you should think not only of yourself but also of your parents' people and relatives "

Siska immediately fell silent "Excuse me for a moment I want to pray sunah for a while "

Siska indeed changed a lot what else when Mama Arjuna died, Siska immediately emigrated from the capital following Arjuna and settled there ,he had not thought of Arya and the others he thought of his little family because of the position of Arjuna who was the spear in his great family, but once again God tested the siska

Siska came out of the room and now Arjuna and his aunt were both complete as well with little Arika who secretly heard everything

"I wouldn't be able to Bi hurt Siska, I'd rather lose everything and go away from this family, I love Siska Bi so much"

Arjuna who was leaning against the wall sat down and could not say anything

her tears are constantly flowing

"If I knew I had to be born in this world just to hurt the people I love more than myself, I'd rather die Bi, Bi, it wasn't that easy for me to accept this reality and the responsibility of being a boy in this big family "

Arika immediately whispered a little in her heart

"Why are you crying? then why does he want to leave the house, mama cries for honey, while papa cries to go, actually they all why?"

Arika was very surprised fortunately they did not realize that little Arika had awakened from earlier but she deliberately did not move because of her high curiosity

Soon the door to her room opened, Silvi went inside

"Excuse me "

"Don't sit here and talk to your Mas Arjuna say whatever you want to tell him all this we're all doing not for nothing but all for the common good "

"I don't love Silvi Bi, it would be very painful for her if I married her I'm afraid my love for her won't grow at all "

Silvi cried "I know Mas you love Mbak Siska very much I also do not want to be in this position even though I love you very much, it does not mean I can easily to say yes to all of this , it doesn't matter if I'm just Rahim babysitting your son "

Arjuna cried hysterically "I just want to die wanting to die"

beating walls

"What do you say Arjuna don't be selfish you're a man if you're not who else, you can't deny everything because your life line is like that , siska should be able to follow the example of your late mother you're just the child of her honey but she can sincerely love you with all her soul, you have to give her patience "

"Mama stop , not so how to corner mbak Siska and Mas Arjuna , Silvi tau mama did want to see silvi married but mas Arjuna and mbak Siska was a human Ma , ' Ma , they have a feeling not so easy to decide something that will be borne until the end of life later you think it is as easy as turning the palm ha ? do you know how devastated Siska felt at this time she came all the way without a single relative coming here to obey her husband, but because God willed otherwise she had to bear everything "

It turned out that Siska was quietly standing outside and listening to all Siska's words

"Mama thinks Silvi also wants to be like this married to a man who does not love Silvi at all, do you think it's that easy ? what if the position mbak Siska is me Ma how ?"

Silvi sobbed

"Have no noise later Arika woke up "

Little Arika whispered silently in her heart

"You don't know I've been up since, but I'm confused as to why you're all crying including papa why he's sobbing "

Silvi sits next to Arjuna and holds Arjuna's hand

"Mas don't think I'm selfish not thinking about your feelings all I love you so much Mas ,mbak Siska is also Arika but do not let mas and mbak think I have long hoped to be a wife mas and ruin the happiness of the household you two , not mas , not , it's not like that I'm not that cute , I'm pretty smart and still young I also want to get married Like girls in general who can get married by inviting a lot of people I also don't want Mas like this "

Arjuna cried "Why should we all be stuck in this stupid order, why ? I would love to be able to make everyone happy including the late mama but why should I hurt the Siska that I love Silvi so much "

"Freely you cry like that the great family pride is in the hands of all of you, remember the lawful polygamy in our religion , the problem is that all of you must accept the destiny of each one remember Siska will get a lot of reward and you Silvi will get a lot of reward because according to the parents , now only Arjuna has to give everything away because what will be your destiny will never be able to run away from you "

They both cry and Silvi loves Arjuna, but Arjuna does not love her

he only loves Siska but if he is not married to Silvi then this lineage will break up, boys must have male offspring too , girls are free to choose to marry anyone

"The time is getting stuck, don't be long you also have no use crying "

"Mama if talking is easy which is the question of how to live it as easily as it is also, stop talking who cornered us mama ,mama think about Siska's current feelings Ma thinks she's also a human Ma ,

mama thoughtjan well, not because I'm a mama's boy, and mas Arjuna mama's niece, mama could just as well "

"You continue to blame me, but this is the rule of the family and Arjuna is the only last descendant because the others have no sons "

"Stop bickering aunt and silvi I get dizzy, you guys are all silent I can no longer think clearly "

"Remember God hates divorce very much but loves marriage very much "

"does God also like the marriage that Mama forced, the marriage without the willingness of the man?"
