Hijrah Love Arunika
Chapter 6. Matchmade

A little about Dirga. He often goes with Om Reza when he goes to Aru's parents' house. Even so, it does not mean Dirga's attitude to be good to him when he knows that Aru is a child of Javas Kanagara.

Maybe it can be counted fingers how many times Dirga come because it is not too often. Although meeting with Aru in front of Papa Javas, it does not mean Dirga did not glance at him cynically. Dirga is not a feature of two-faced people. So Aru's estimate.

Not without reason Dirga seemed to hate Aru. The man once caught Aru kissing Yoda in the back of a deserted campus building. Not just once, but repeatedly.

Given that, Aru was embarrassed and felt inferior himself. In the past, he was not bothered when Dirga's hate speech. However, after he decided to improve himself, his heart seemed to be so sensitive with harsh words.

Not to mention when news about Aru who was pregnant out of wedlock, making Dirga not reluctant to say swear sentences when meeting or just passing him.

Remembering that, Aru's heart again felt tightness. Don't know why that guy was always there wherever Aru was. Including today. The universe seemed to reunite him with the figure of Dirga.

"What can make you forgive me?" tanya Dirga resuscitated Aru daydream.

Aru glanced at Dirga who was in front of him. "I don't know. I find it hard to forget every word that comes from your lips. Nothing is good. All about my ugliness" said Aru wistfully with teary eyes.

The chatter of the two must be stopped when they see Om Reza has been beside the car and ready to open the door. "Come, we have to walk again" he did not know if there had just been a cold war.

Finally, the car drove back to Aru's house. There is no more talk because Aru is also more comfortable in silence. Until the car arrives in front of the magnificent house belonging to Aru's parents.

"Thank you, Om helped Aru. Don't want to stop by first?" aru asked while reviewing her best smile.

"no need. Greetings to your mom and dad. They must be dating" replied Om Reza.

Aru also chuckled, as if justifying Om Reza's words. "alright. Be careful on the road, Om," Aru said, waving his hand.

Arriving at the room, Aru began to think about Dirga's apology. There is no grudge that is ingrained. It's just, Aru wants to see Dirga's efforts harder. He wanted to see the man.

He tried to practice what he had learned while in the pesantren. The knowledge gained, must be practiced to be useful. Like, apologize before the guilty ask for it. Not for the tranquility of the perpetrator's life. Except for his own calm.

When going into the bathroom to clean themselves, the door of his room was knocked from the outside. "Non, Tuan called for Non Aru to come down," said Bibi raising a voice that made Aru frown in wonder.

Did your mom and dad not go for a walk? "Yes, Bi. Aru is coming down soon!" aru said reflexively shouting.

After the affair in the bathroom was over, Aru rushed down. If her papa had asked Aunt to call, there must have been something important. Upon arrival in the living room, Aru could feel the tension that his father and mother showed.

"What's up, Pa?" tanya Aru tried to be calm.

"Papa just met a business associate in the square." Papa Javas started the conversation. Aru nodded with her faithful mouth locked. Wanted to give his father a chance to talk without interruption.

"The news about you getting pregnant and miscarriages began to spread in Papa's business environment. Many consider if you are not a miscarriage but deliberately aborting. Then, they relate it to your current appearance change," explained papa Javas who made Aru turn around in disbelief.

By Allah Aru it does not matter if he becomes a gossip of one complex as long as the working environment of papa and his mother is dragged along.

"Then, did he choose to decide on a partnership?" aru asked hoping that what was in her head did not really happen.

The Papa sighed then nodded weakly. "Actually, it wasn't just colleagues who met this morning. From yesterday, there have been those who cut off cooperation. Yep. They are people who take care of one's personal affairs too much. Supposedly, business matters do not concern themselves with personal matters."

Aru speechless. If there is something that can make things better, Aru will do it. He has embarrassed parents a lot during this time. Instead of achievement, Aru showed the depravity of his life.

"What can Aru do, Pa?" tanya Aru did not want to delay.

Papa and his mother looked at each other, then looked back at Aru. "Oma asked papa to get you married immediately" said Mama Kalea who made Aru fixated on the spot.

Be married? Who would marry a second-hand woman like her? Even if there is, they could be old men or men who have widowed status.

"Hows it? Papa hopes you agree. It's for the good of all of us. Papa will find a young man who will accept you for who you are. Not a contract marriage like the one in a novel or a movie. But, Papa wants you to really live the household midwife later. Hope you don't disappoint us anymore."

"Mama is also worried that if you don't get married soon, you will live alone forever. Mama's worried because you—"

"I'm sorry Mama, Ru. Mama should not say so," continued Mama Kalea was unable to continue her sentence.

Although Aru was still confused as to why he should get married, he nodded and accepted Papa's decision. According to Aru, getting married is not the right solution to the problem.

But what can I do. As a child, Aru wanted to be devoted to parents. For some reason, Aru seemed to justify the words of his mother just now. Evidently. Fear is real and real.

Although Aru should not worry about the soul mate because all God has arranged according to the portion and time of each. "Aru is ready to be betrothed, Pa. Aru believes that Papa will not plunge Aru in a worse life."

The two middle-aged people in front of him let out a rough sigh. It was so relieved that her son had complied. "good. Mom and Dad did this for your own good. Tomorrow, Oma will come to the house and behave well. All this time, you always make Oma dizzy because of your behavior. Now, show yourself the new Aru," the papa and Aru nodded in affirmation.

He will change his bad attitude that might hurt those around him.
