Love hindered friendship
Keep the Promise

The afternoon has now changed the night when everyone returned to their homes, the four handsome men were now in the Villa, he said, after finishing the bath and dressing Atar immediately went down to join his three Companions.

Down there already seen Gio and Azka sitting on the sofa while watching television, Atar then approached them.

"Gio, Azka, where's Jho?" atar asked while looking at his two best friends.

"He's kedapur again he said he wanted to make coffee" replied Gio.

Atar then went to the kitchen to meet Jho, when he arrived in the kitchen Jho seemed to be stirring coffee in his cup.

"Jho!"

Sontak Jho immediately glanced at the source of the voice.

"What's up, Atar?"

"Did you talk to Shabira about me and Jani?" ask Atar without a stale base.

"How do I not understand?"

"How did Shabira know about the fact of her birth when I never told her about it. Did you tell him he was a bastard? Did you tell Shabira that she's the one who caused the disgrace for Jani and me?" ask Atar.

Jho shook his head as he did not feel like saying that directly to Shabira.

"You don't lie to Jho, if you don't talk that to Shabira he won't be this sad, anyways Shabira talks directly to me if she hears the fact of his birth from you"

Jho was completely confused over the accusations made by Atar but as Atar continued to urge him was forced to have his brain think hard to remember the events of the other day but the suspicion in his heart started to appear when he remembered, he said, he once said something bad to Rinjani about Shabira.

"God, was there Shabira? Did she hear it when I talked to Jani?" rutuk Jho was full of regrets without him realizing Atar heard it even though the volume of his voice was reduced.

Atar who was upset then pushed Jho's chest down and said, "Why would you hurt Shabira by saying like that Jho?"

Jho who at that time accidentally slipped said bad things about the little girl so guilty he finally just fell silent while looking down full of regret.

"Why are you quiet? Do you hate Shabira that much?"

Jho continues to be silent because his heart is at war with guilt on Shabira and it further strengthens Atar's belief that Jho hates himself and his daughter even though Atar's prejudice is not true because Jho does not hate Shabira's.

"Why Jho, why do you hate Shabira? Is it because he's my son, is it because he's my flesh and blood? Is it because he's a son of a sinner like me Jho? Tell Jho why do you hate Shabira?" atar snapped because he was annoyed because Jho continued to flinch.

"You can be mad at me, you can blame me, you can hate me Jho. But you must not be angry at Shabira, you have no right to blame for her birth, you mustn't hate Shabira because she's just an innocent little girl who doesn't know anything about the great sin her parents have committed"

"I don't hate Shabira, Atar! At that time I was just upset because you Jani suffered and endured this alone"

"But still you must not hurt Shabira by calling her an illegitimate child or a disgrace to me and Jani, I warn you once again to Jho, Jho, if there are tears coming out of Shabira's eyes because of you then I won't forgive you, Jho!

Atar then shook while continuing to hold back the sadness and anger in the chest that was boiling. Jho reached out his hand to apologize but Atar brushed Jho off.

"I'm sorry Atar, it was completely unintentional, it just came out of my mouth, I'm sorry"

Atar did not answer Jho's words he instead looked at Jho with a cynical look full of anger.

...****************...

Dew is still wet in the leaves of the morning and the mist still covers the earth but the warm shining sunlight continues to break through each and every window opening a white veil that covers the earth to wake every creature from his night sleep.

Now the rainy season has arrived until the ground becomes wet and leaves many footprints indicating this morning that many people have gone out of their homes to find a livelihood.

So is the atmosphere seen in a villa located on a hill. The residents had already left this morning to return to work to complete the tourism development project whose work has reached sixty percent.

When Jho, Gio and Azka had gone to another construction site with Atar, he was already in front of the orphanage because according to his promise to Shabira, from today he will be a leg for his beloved daughter, although he has to keep working but Atar will keep his promise because he can do his work anywhere and on the sidelines of his free time.

From it a sling bag containing his working equipment was never absent from sticking on his shoulders. All the children were ready to go to school, they came out of the house and immediately greeted by Atar with a warm smile beyond the warm sun.

"For all! Are you ready to go to school?" sapa Atar was full of spirit.

Jani who did not expect this early Atar was already in front of the door and asked, "This morning you have been in the orphanage to do what?"

Atar widened his smile on his lips to Jani, without answering he immediately turned his head to Shabira who was sitting in a wheelchair.

"From today Shabira will not need a wheelchair anymore because there is a father who will be a leg for you, yes Shabira" said Atar then carrying Shabira, taking her to the home-owned car.

Jani just looked at them in confusion and finally he and the children were in the car. Atar and Shabira chose to sit behind the steering wheel, after all entered and Jani who was sitting in the chair then turned her head back.

"What does this mean?" ask Jani who is still confused about his best friend.

"What was I saying that was still unclear Jani?" Atar asked back while Jani was still looking at him in confusion.

"Okay, let me be clear again yes, from today Shabira will not need a wheelchair anymore because there I will be ready to take her wherever she wants to go" Atar said with a smile.

"Didn't you come to this village to work, then why do you have to do this?"

"It's a fear that there are work equipment in it so I can work anywhere and anytime" Atar replied while showing his bag.

There is still a look of confusion depicted on the beautiful face of Jani but Atar immediately disperse Jani's confusion by telling him to immediately drive the car so that children do not miss school.

Such are the days passed by Atar, every day he will go to the orphanage to deliver and wait for Shabira at school, if the time to learn Atar will wait in the garden of Shabira school, Shabira school, there he will do his work and if the break time arrives he will meet Shabira for snacks or meals until the break time is over.

Actually this is a little embarrassing for Shabira because now she is not a kindergarten child who still likes to be delivered to school but because her legs can not walk and Shabira just want to enjoy the time with her father what used to be lost finally he completed his embarrassment even though this made a stir throughout the school because Shabira was like a spoiled child who always wanted to be delivered by her father.

But behind all this there are those who look in awe at this father and son for their closeness and cohesiveness and there are also those who sneer at their behavior. But Atar did not care about all this because his heart continued to be determined that he only wanted to be a good father to his daughter.

Although sometimes Atar must receive many questions from the school or parents who see the existence of Atar in school, the, because they know Shabira's guardian is Pak Husen and Bu Retno so they think Pak Husen and Bu Retno are Shabira's biological parents because in Shabira's birth certificate is still on their behalf.

While the school knew that Pak Husen and Bu Retno had an orphanage so they mummified it, but the question was that Shabira was Atar's biological child, Why did Atar just acknowledge Shabira as his son now, not before? And why did Atar even give his son to the orphanage.

Because Atar did not want everyone to know his disgrace and did not want to humiliate his daughter for the mistakes he had done he was finally forced to lie that Shabira was lost in infancy because of the kidnapper.

...****************...

Seeing his beloved daughter getting closer to his father, he, jani's heart was happy when she saw a smile of happiness framed on her daughter's face and did not want to ruin her daughter's happiness so Jani let Atar give more attention to her daughter, let Atar devote all his love and affection to Shabira.

And from that Jani can see that the child and the father need each other so that Jani feels unbearable if they have to separate, what else lately Jani often saw Shabira making a name for her father, and also the father, in addition, Shabira also often sniggles while laughing in her dreams.

In the end, Jani was plagued by a prolonged dilemma because his daughter often gave a veiled code to Jani stating that Shabira wanted to live with her father and live happily in one family.

But again the agreement that makes Jani's move stifled, if he wants to age with Atar for the sake of his daughter then what about his three friends?

"ah! I'm really confused how to? I want Shabira to be happy with her father but on the other hand there must be a wounded heart. Then how should I?" lamented Jani.

"Why should my four best friends like me anyway, there is no other girl what on earth? Should I marry one of my childhood friends? Uh! Why should Atar be the father of my son?" jani is so frustrated.

Jani then snorted annoyed at the dilemma, then he ruffled his hair in frustration after which he laid his body on his bed with his legs dangling to the floor.

Shabira and Atar's smiling faces happily glancing at her continue to haunt Jani's mind, while the angry faces on Gio's face look on the other side, Azka and Jho continued to stare at Jani until she felt clumsy.

Of course this dilemma continues to press his mind, making stuffy chest and making Jani's head so dizzy seven circumference. But suddenly Jani remembers Atar's offer of their relationship.

Pov Rafatars

How about we go as far as we can, get married and live together for Shabira's sake, we leave this place as far as possible so that nothing gets in the way of our relationship, let us be traitors in this friendship for Shabira because Gio, Azka and Jho are selfish towards us, their love for you grew before our illicit relationship took place so don't blame me if I'm the one who's more entitled to have you.

The forbidden relationship was not something intentional or this was not what I wanted, this was just an accident that just happened. And destiny has its own story so if you are outlined for me then they must accept it because no one will be able to go against its will.

Atar's words continued to ring in Jani made her more convinced to act but the problem was that there was no love in Jani's heart for Atar and Jani still felt awkward if suddenly she had to be a wife his own childhood friend.

Imagining it alone has made his face red blush what else if running it directly, it looks like a stiff face will be clearly drawn on Jani's face. Then will Jani accept Atar's offer to be his wife or Jani will remain at home with his single status as it is today?

Seriate.
