by appointment

That morning the atmosphere at the airport ngurah rai was not so crowded when Arga accompanied by his personal assistant Agus had prepared to wait for someone to arrive.

the two waited with flat faces, more inclined to the moody, until the end of his three men came and waved his hands.

"welcome to Bali."

Arga lowered his head respectfully while Agus immediately brought the suitcase and put it in the trunk of the car.

"thank you for thinking about my father's request"

"i will try as long as I can."

Arga gnashed his teeth, saying a sentence that did not fit his heart.

"let's go to my house, you must be tired, need a break."

There were no smiles or anything from the three people. Her third face was flat.

In a large house, their car stopped.

"this is my house, may you like."

two housekeepers greeted and brought their suitcases into the house.

"let my master make a drink."

A middle-aged assistant greeted them kindly.

"son Arga, we don't want any luxury from son Arga, we just want our daughter to get the best."

After sitting down, the middle-aged man opened the conversation.

"i understand sir, I will try my best."

"may you ask something."

the old woman who had been silent before while holding her daughter now spoke.

"that's mom"

"is son Arga divorced with son Ayu."

The question that the woman threw was very tight on Arga's chest.

"i can't break Ayu."

"son Ayu promised us."

Struggling while looking at Arga expectantly.

Arga was silent, her lips were locked.

"please, don't force me, I will still be responsible for Mitha's recovery, but I can't tell Ayu away."

Arga remained adamant not to scatter Ayu.

"then what about our daughter ?."

Disappointed looks from the faces of the two old men heard the answer and lags Arga explained.

"i'll try anything to get Mitha back to what she used to be."

"My daughter is healed son Arga, then will you be in vain will she again after she really recovered from her trauma?"

The question from Mitha's father made Arga speechless.

While Arga can not lie to himself that his heart will still belong to Ayu.

And she was afraid that her love for Ayu would hurt Mitha for her umpteenth time and make her unable to escape her trauma.

"i can't lie to myself..... I'm sorry, I can't do anything about how I feel."

While Mitha was just silently looking down, her expression did not point to any reaction.

"pardon me, I spoke frankly because I was afraid that I would hurt Mitha again for her umpteenth time."

"what do you think you would do if you were in this father position ?"

Arga looked at the old man flatly, he was rightly distressed by the old man's sentence defending his daughter, but it was not wrong, not at all wrong, not wrong, it is precisely Arga himself who feels inappropriate, because all these events he is the cause.

"honey!!! Why is his face so bent?"

"i don't like friends in the village, they're not cool?"

"no fun? What's the matter?"

"they say I don't have papa, papa I've never been seen, but I have papa"

Said the little bule-faced girl with annoyance and manyun.

"trus are you angry?"

"sad, you can't hit a temen, you don't like it"

"let's go, they're babbling, but I have papa"

"but you can't be rough with them"

"let me ma, why don't papa Arga pick us up anyway ma, let me take papa to school, let me not be ledekin temen again."

"honey.... Dengerin mama well, whatever you say, you do not need to be taken heart, because it will make all your friends away, away, after all have you also seen the papa of all your friends?"

"no ma, there is also a papa who went to work in the city, but papa Arga why long time no visit us ma, Naya kangen the same papa Arga"

Ayu let out a long sigh, that was what she had been afraid of all this time.

Because often Naya has a high fever because it harbors longing for her papa.

"Naya here with mom"

Ayu guides her daughter and sits her down on the small sofa terrace of her house.

"Naya will soon want to have adek, so Naya must be able to be a strong brother, who is not crybaby, who does not need to worry about the word temen Naya is bad, bad, Naya must be a strong sister who can take care of Naya's younger sister"

The little girl nodded her head understandingly said the mother.

"yes, Naya will be a strong sister, but Naya misses her father Arga ma!"

Highlight the little girl's eyes looked sad and innocent.

"pa Arga also misses Naya, only papa Arga is busy dear, so can't come yet"

In his swab of the head of the little girl, his heart felt very painful every time he heard his daughter was longing for her papa.

because the truth is he also felt the same way but hindered his promise to Mitha's parents.

"do you want to go out on the street?"

The girl just nodded by staying down.

"all right, we're out now"

without waiting for an answer Arga immediately walked in following the girl who was still down either scared or why, he did not speak from earlier.

"we just go to the lake, there the scenery is beautiful, the air is also fresh, you must like."

Again the girl just nodded, not spitting out a word.

the lake is located on the outskirts of the city is not so crowded, the atmosphere is also very calm and the scenery is quite pampering the eyes that look, beautiful and beautiful.

"do you want to eat something?"

Arga asked after they sat down on a bench that was by the lake and again just answered with a headband.

"do you want anything?"

only the head answered.

"don't you talk to me?"

This time there was no nod or head, the girl was silent.

"speak something.... Ask for something, or..... Maki me, I won't be mad."

The girl remained silent, her head that had been lowered had not changed expression at all.

"please... Say something.... Don't torture me.."

Arga was desperate because Mitha had arrived in Bali until they arrived home, and now their way out did not say a word.

Even his gaze was down, not seeing his interlocutor at all.

"i'd go crazy like this."

Arga grumbled to himself, either because of Mitha or because of the strange problems she faced.

"i'm sorry, I hurt you and ruined your future...."

Arga ruffled his hair rough, from earlier he continued to talk but his interlocutor just kept silent, even turned his head was not.

"i still love you...."

One word that was thrown from Mitha's lips made Arga flinch.

His heart ached hearing that statement.....

He could not hurt her anymore because until now Ayu still filled her heart.

But how does it effect if he refuses....
