"Is this because of a sanctity ?" ask mr. Jaya.
Prang...!!
The cup that was being held by Grandfather Wira instantly slipped away. Grandfather Wira was very surprised to hear the sentence that his guest said. But he tried to calm his heart.
He kept his feet going to the kitchen. Grandpa Wira took a pengki and a broom. Shortly after, he came back to clean the floor from the shards of his cup.
Not wanting to get a rejection again, Mr. Jaya immediately got up and approached Grandfather Wira who was cleaning the fragments of his cup on the floor.
"Please, we need to talk !" pinta tuan Jaya's.
"Already son Ami, please do not interfere too much with the problems that exist in the family father !" answer weak grandfather Wira.
"Can't dad ! I have the right to interfere, even I have the right to decide Gintani's next life !" said firmly Mr. Jaya.
Grandfather Wira was increasingly surprised to hear the words of Mr. Jaya. But he refused to discuss it further. After all, this was about the disgrace of his granddaughter. It's appropriate for Grandpa Wira to close this disgrace meeting.
"Dad doesn't understand what you're saying. But honestly, I don't want to understand. Never mind Ami, don't waste your time anymore ! You can't say anything bad about Gintan. After all, it's all dad's fault that he can't protect her. One thing you can say is that your granddaughter is not the best mate for your child. Please go, go !" said Grandpa Wira, begging.
"Dad, let Argha marry Gintani. He's responsible, dad. He must be responsible for all his deeds !"
"What do you mean, son ?" grandfather Wira was again surprised by Mr. Jaya's enigmatic speech.
Tuan Jaya just lowered her face. She was ashamed of all her children.
Understanding there was something hidden, finally Grandpa Wira again invited his guest to sit down.
"What is this, Ami ? What happened to my grandson has anything to do with your son ?" ask the grandfather.
"I'm sorry dad ! I'm not a good parent. Since my wife's death, I've been so busy with my work that I've neglected Argha. I think by remarrying, I can give a mother's affection for Argha. But I was wrong, my second wife never loved Argha sincerely. That's why Argha grew up to be an arrogant man."
"Then, his relationship with my granddaughter?"
"Dad.., I really don't know if Argha would act that low. He had already dared to take advantage of Gintani's weakness. All these years I've been looking for Gintani, Dad! I want to apologize for all my son's depraved deeds ! I'm looking for Gintan so I can make him my son-in-law. I can't let Argha do anything against Gintan. I beg well, bless my intention to match them ! And forgive my son's fault !" pinta tuan Jaya sat down in front of Grandpa Wira.
Grandfather Wira could only squeeze his chest which was starting to hurt. He himself was confused as to what to do. He did not want to see his grandson having to bear his mistake alone. But he also has no right to hold Argha responsible. Gintani said the incident was just a buying and selling transaction. What if he doesn't want to be responsible. Should she sacrifice Gintani's life with a man who never loved her ?
For a moment, Grandfather Wira could only fall silent.
"Son, my grandson said he never knew your son. And the incident that night, he considered as a buying and selling transaction. So, how could I possibly sue your son to marry my granddaughter. Although it hurts, but I have let it go. Let my grandson live according to his chosen path. I can't marry Gintan to a man who never loved him. Even if that man was the one who had snatched away his future. But I realize it's not entirely your son's fault."
"No dad ! I won't let my son be such a coward. After all, Argha must marry Gintani ! He must be responsible ! Please don't refuse me again !"
"Love can grow with time, father !" answer Mr. Jaya.
"But, son...?"
"Dad just calm down. I know what I have to do. Right now I just need my father's help to convince Gintani to accept this match. You agree, right ?"
"As far as you are, boy ! But I can't promise if this will work. Gintani is not an easy person to persuade. He deeply inherited the nature of his father who had always been firm in his own stand."
"I know it's Dad. Therefore I am more convinced that Gintani is the best wife-to-be for Argha."
After the discussion about matchmaking is finished. Mr. Jaya resigned, because tomorrow he must immediately return to Jakarta.
🍀🍀🍀
Once in Jakarta, Mr. Jaya immediately contacted his son to discuss the matchmaking plan. Tonight, Mr. Jaya asked his son to have dinner together.
"Has Argha come, Fa ?" asked Mr. Jaya to her daughter who was sitting while watching her favorite cartoon movie.
"Not yet, maybe in a minute !" nadhifa replied, glancing at his watch.
The time is 18:45. But the person invited to dinner has not yet revealed his nose.
"Why was your brother so long, Fa ?"
"Please be patient, pah ! Perhaps brother Argha was stuck." replied Nadhifa, trying to calm his father.
"Maybe also !" said Mr. Jaya while sitting next to his daughter.
"What is the pah ? Tumben papah ngundang kak Argha eat here !" nadhifa said full of investigation.
"Didih, little boy forbidden kepo ya !" said Mr. Jaya while poking softly his daughter's nose.
"Yeay papah ! Brother Argha is Nadhifa's brother, it is only natural that Dhifa kepo !" rumpul Nadhifa.
"Dad wants to talk about Argha's matchmaking with your future sister-in-law" replied Mr. Jaya excitedly.
"Uhukis... Uhuk...!"
