Argha choked upon hearing the name Gintani mentioned by Wira's grandfather. Not lost his shock, Argha was made even more surprised to hear a voice that was no stranger to him. Argha turned to the door. The girl wearing the blue sea hijab was bending over to open her sneakers.
"Wa'alaikumsalam !" answer in unison Grandpa Wira and Mr. Jaya.
"I'm home at this hour, son ?" ask Grandpa Wira who was surprised Gintani was already at home before the ashar time arrived.
"Today Gintan is not fussing, cake. It just so happens that the school is off because it is used for studies." answered Gintani is still busy opening her shoes.
Argha immediately turned his face as Gintani looked up and began to walk over to Grandfather Wira.
"Come here, boy ! Grandpa wants to introduce someone to you !" said Grandpa Wira.
Argha's heart was pounding when he heard the approaching footsteps.
"Honey, meet me, he is son Argha, son of om Jaya, a friend of your late father" said Wira's grandfather.
Gintani was surprised to find the man who had bought it, now sitting cross-legged in front of his grandfather.
So, this man his son is Jaya ? And chances are, she too will be the one to be betrothed to me ? Oh my God..., what is this fate....? Inner Gintani whose body feels weak facing the reality.
At first glance, Gintani saw the smile full of mystery on both corners of the male lips. Not wanting to arouse his grandfather's suspicion, Gintani immediately clenched his hands as a sign of greeting to a man who was not his muhrim. After that, he said goodbye to go to the room.
Arriving at his room, Gintani begins to lay himself on the bed. Her chest felt tight again after meeting the man again. Moreover, find the fact that the man is the one who has been betrothed to both parents since childhood. "This world is so narrow." murmured Gintani, smiling cynically.

After Ashar, Mr. Jaya and his son returned to the hotel.
"How about Ar ? Are you ready to make a match with that girl ?" ask Mr. Argha.
"Didn't Papah choose wrong ?" Argha asked back.
"What do you mean, Ar ? Didn't you yourself see that she's a very nice girl. He was a hijab and also a njai teacher. Is there anything less than him, son ?"
"Never look outside, pah ! We also have to look at her nature and personality." replied Argha casually.
"What do you think, that girl is not a good personality ? Do you know him so well that you can think like that ?"
"That's it, pah ! I'm tired ! I was lazy to argue with Papah. I'd better go to the bathroom to clean myself up." said Argha as he got up from his seat.
"Wait for Ar ! Papah wants your decision now, and papah hope your decision won't disappoint papah."
"I'm not going to marry that girl, are you satisfied ?"
"But why ? What's the reason, Ar ?"
"Father, she's not a good girl ! I've been....!" Argha hung up his sentence
"Hhhhh..."
Argha exhaled violently. He almost slipped up telling me about the relationship that had happened between him and the girl.
"Well, Argha's seen that girl working at Alex's. Papah himself knows, what kind of woman to work in a pub." said Argha trying to give a reasonable answer.
"Listen son, not everyone who works in such a place is a bad person. It is possible that they work there because they have difficulty getting a job they expect. Come on, kid ! Don't be so bad to think !" mr. Jaya is still trying to persuade her son.
"But the girl once sold herself a reward !" argha answered who had no words left to resist his father's wishes.
"Why if he ever sold himself ? Aren't you the one who bought it, son ?" answer Mr. Jaya.
Jamb....
Instantly, Argha's body felt weak to hear his father's cold speech which was like an arrow that shot fast and stuck right in his heart.
Tuan Jaya approached her son who was standing dumbstruck.
"Don't you think Papah didn't know all your deeds three years ago, Ar ! Marry her or kill your papa !"
"Bah...!"
"What ? Wh why? Do you think Papah still has a face when he learns of your depraved behavior, Ar ? Let alone the living papah, your mother who has never been will be ashamed to have a cowardly child like you ! Just because of a grudge, you can destroy the girl's future. He slapped your cheek, but you slapped his life. Is that what you call a real man, huh ?" yelled Mr. Jaya venting his anger that for three years he was quiet.
Argha's legs seemed boneless hearing the name of his late mother who was called back by his father. Argha dropped his body on the sofa.
"Father knows, papah is wrong because it cannot educate you well. But papah never taught you to bully a helpless girl. Once you spread slander so that he can never get a decent job. Do you think he enjoys working in that place ? No Ar, he never liked his job. But he kept going because he had a grandfather to live with. Big small, you have a share why he had to work there. And papah is very disappointed in you Ar, papah disappointed to see your attitude that deliberately exploits the weakness of the girl. Didn't you buy it ? You bought it because you wanted to show how much power you have, right ? You bought it because you wanted to avenge you, right ? Answer me, Ar ! Does Papah still have a face with all your behavior ? And even more painful, the girl was the daughter of papah's own best friend. Friends who have struggled to unite your papah and mamah love. Friends who have helped papah, when papah has no job, do you know that, Ar ?"
Tuan Jaya still vented his heart. But this time, his voice was a little hoarse because of the sense of tightness that could not be held. In the end, tears came from both eyes.
"See, Ar ! Papah would not be able to live in this kind of guilt. You better kill papah, son ! So that papah does not have to bow his head in front of the girl" he said again.
Silent....
Argha could not answer all his father's words. It is true what his father said. He's a bastard who just out of spite, he could treat Gintani like that. But no, he never had any guilt. He felt guilty, even very guilty. On the one hand, he wants to find Gintani, apologize and take responsibility for all his actions. But his wait for his childhood girl, made him undo his intentions.
The love and confidence to be able to unite with his childhood girl, making Argha a loser man for Gintani's life. Argha could only remain silent without knowing what to do.
Na....., is your waiting for Adi's brother to end here ?
Seriate....
