Discernment
Ch 4's. Dinner

Ayara looked at her Papa with an angry look. His heart was very sick to hear of his Papa's rejection of Gandhi.

“Papa don't want to know. You have to go with Papa. Later tonight prepare yourself to meet Darren and his Papa.” Mirza ignored her daughter's angry look.

“Aya hate the same Papa!” yelled Aya then ran into her room.

“Mas, can you speak well? Already know that Aya's reaction will be this, still use emotions.” Devina said she was also upset by her husband's tone.

“You take care of everything. You buju Aya so that later tonight will join dinner.” said Mirza while sneaking her forehead.

Devina just shook her head. He soon follows Aya into his room to persuade her daughter to marry Darren. Although actually Devina herself does not agree with this matchmaking.not about who Aya's husband candidate, but about Ayara's right to choose a partner.

But Devina is also the same as her husband.Did not agree if Aya was in a relationship with Gandhi. While Darren is also a good man, so finally inevitably Devina agreed to the matchmaking of her son.

Now Devina has entered Aya. Her daughter was sitting in the balcony of her room. The woman who holds the title of obstetrician knows that Aya's mood is not okay.

“Honey, forgive Papa's rude remark earlier.” said Devina who is now sitting next to Aya.

“Sorry, but not by canceling that matchmaking right, Ma?”

“Aya, please this time obey Mama and Papa. Trust me that this choice of Mama and Papa is right and best for you and your future, Aya.”

Ayara was still silent.she did not want to ask much what the reason for her parents to make this match, but that made Aya wonder, which made Aya wonder, in modern times like today, there is still an arranged marriage like in ancient times.

“Mama and Papa love you so much, Aya. So tonight be nice at dinner with Darren and his Papa.” Devina said before finally leaving Aya.

Aya really can't think clearly. He did not expect any shocking news this morning, but to say all this to Gandhi was also impossible. What is there will actually make the man disappointed heavily. Finally Aya contacted her best friend to tell her all the problems at once asking for a solution.

Meanwhile, a thirty-year-old man was pensive in his room holding a picture of a beautiful woman who had accompanied his life. Although not for long.

Darren's eyes glazed over as he looked at a photo of Jenifer, his ex-wife. Especially with the matchmaking plan carried out by his father with the child of his business partner.

Darren still loves his late wife. But he also greatly respected his Papa's decision to be betrothed to Ayara.

“I'm sorry, Honey! I accepted this matchup also out of respect for Papa. Believe me, if ever this love will not turn away in the least. To death I will take this love.” wirih Darren while looking at the photo of Jenifer.

Darren's journey with Jenifer was short. The two went through a courtship period of only a few months after which they agreed to marry.

Darren and Jenifer's domestic life is also very happy. Especially after a few months of marriage, found out that Jenifer was pregnant. But at the age of pregnancy Jenifer who stepped on the fourth month, or more precisely when they were doing babymoon abroad, that is where the disaster came.

After returning home from the babymoon, while on the way, the fateful incident came where there was a car in the opposite direction drove at full speed. Darren who was sitting in the back jog with his wife did not know the beginning of the incident. Darren's private driver just yelled while trying to dodge. But still failed. Darren's car was hit hard by the car, causing the car to overturn several times on the highway. Darren himself tried to protect his wife. But God wants something else.

Darren saw a lot of blood coming out from the sidelines of his wife's thigh. Soon he saw Jenifer's eyes slowly closing.

Tok tok tok tok

The sound of knocking on the bedroom door made Darren aware of his daydream. He immediately kept a photo of Jenifer and then opened the door to someone who wanted to meet him.

“Papa?”

“Are you busy? Somebody wants Papa to talk about.”

“No, Pa.”

After that Darren followed his Papa towards his study. It seems like there is something important that Mr. Vanno wants to talk about with his son.

“You remind me that tonight there is dinner with Mr Mirza's family?” ask Papa Darren.

“Remember, Pa. included with Darren's matchmaking plan with Ayara.” Darren replied trying to be ordinary, so as not to make his Papa disappointed.

“Papa know how you are feeling right now, Ren. It is not easy to forget the woman we love so much. Likewise with Papa who until now can not forget your late mother.” Mr. Vano paused for a moment his words.

“But it's different between you and Papa. Mama you died when Papa is not young anymore.of course you still remember.and indeed Papa does not want to marry again, because it already has you who can boast Papa. But not with you, Ren. You are young and your future is long. Papa doesn't want to see you continue to grieve in memory of Jenifer. Initially it is difficult, but if you live it with your willingness, Papa is sure one day you will fall in love with Ayara.”

Darren only listened to his father's advice. He did not dare interrupt his father's words. There was no choice but to obey her father. For love problems, Darren is not sure he can fall in love again, especially in the figure of Ayara who is not at all his type.

***

That time also came. Darren and his Papa have arrived at Mirza's residence. They warmly welcomed the arrival of this special guest. Ayara was also present there by showing her sweetest smile. There was a fake smile that Darren himself could understand.

The meeting between the two families was indeed to discuss their children's matchmaking plans. Mirza and Mr. Vano have agreed that Ayara and Darren will be engaged next week without asking for approval from Ayara or Darren.

“Papa's area. Darren follow.” Darren replied kindly. But a cold glance at Ayara who was also looking at him disliked.

“Yes already, for the engagement ring and needs of the two of you, Papa leave it to the two of you alone.let it be more delicious and get to know each other.” Said Mr. Vanno with a friendly smile.

“I also agree.” Added Mirza.
