My Old Star
#134 Father Message
Mentari went into the room where she had been resting, she found her husband was asleep very well, it seemed that Arfan was very tired, after coming home from abroad even she did not take a little rest.
Mentari sat beside Arfan and rubbed her husband's peaceful face. The man who since the beginning of his meeting had made his heart flutter erratically.
"Thank you for keeping and protecting me so far, brother!" mentari lirih.
Mentari stroked Arfan's thick eyebrows and looked very firm, he felt sorry for Arfan because he bore a lot of heavy burden even from the beginning of their meeting.
Mentari threw herself back beside Arfan, she closed her eyes to rest for some time while waiting for Arfan to wake up.
Mentari who is pregnant is already very difficult to sleep, a position that used to be very comfortable for him when sleeping can no longer be felt at this time. His condition is getting weaker but his spirit never breaks to always do the things he likes.
At about ten in the morning, Arfan awoke from his sleep because the sunlight that entered through the cracks of the window blinded him and made him have to wake up.
Arfan also felt enough to rest, his body was more fresh than this morning.
"Thank you dear Mentari," Arfan kissed the face of his wife's mother who was still asleep, not forgetting he kissed Mentari's belly that was bulging.
"My dear child, be well in your mother's stomach. We can't wait for you to come into this world." Arfan said in the stomach of Mentari who then went down from the bed to immediately clean themselves.
Arfan returned to the room where they had rested, he found Mentari sitting on the edge of the bed.
"You awake, baby?" Ask Arfan while drying his wet hair with a towel.
Mentari smiled as soon as she saw her husband enter, "You must be very tired Sister!"
"Don't worry about me baby, clean yourself up first. I've ordered breakfast for us, it looks like we'll be there soon." Arfan rubbed the top of Mentari's head and whispered softly.
Mentari obeyed her husband's orders to clean up immediately. Upon his return, it turns out that Arfan has prepared warm tea for Mentari on the table while he chose to drink warm coffee with a little sugar.
"Here sit down baby, we wait for the food to come." Arfan patted the chair next to him for Mentari to sit down.
Not how long there was a notification coming into the phone Arfan who told him if their breakfast had arrived.
"You wait here, yes, have your tea. I'll be downstairs for a minute taking our order!"
Arfan left Mentari to take their food downstairs. After paying via the application, Arfan left the courier who delivered their food after saying thank you and giving a little extra payment to the courier.
Arfan passed through the cubicle of the employees in his Grandmother's company that today is empty because all are closed by him.
Arfan paused for a moment, he imagined that if all the problems they faced were not immediately resolved then the company that his Grandmother and Grandfather had painstakingly built would definitely only remain memories.
Arfan clenched his hands, he felt inexhaustible with Mona who always wanted to destroy the happiness of her family in various ways.
Mona never seems satisfied, before Arfan and his family are completely destroyed after what Mona wants is always rejected by her.
"I'll never forget everything you've done to me, Mona, never will!"
Arfan set his breath back, he had to stay calm. Slowly Arfan got into the elevator to return to Uncle Faisal's room, he did not want Mentari to wait too long.
Arfan went into the room where Mentari was enjoying his warm tea while lying on the sofa.
"You're getting overwhelmed like a baby" Arfan smiled.
"I'm fine Brother." Mentari's reply did not want to make Arfan worried.
"Why is Big Brother's face red?" Ask Mentari who saw the difference in Arfan's face when he came out earlier with this moment.
Arfan held his face, "Oh this, maybe it was a little run-and-run so hot dear." Answer Arfan is lying.
"Now we have breakfast first, we have to go to the hospital to see Uncle Faisal dear!"
Mentari nodded in obedience to her husband's words.
They eat in silence, Mentari enjoys her breakfast with a feeling of uncertainty. Mentari was convinced that Arfan was bearing a burden on his mind.
"Don't tell me, what exactly is Big Brother thinking." Mentari ventured to ask.
"I don't think about anything, baby, just eat don't think!"
"Fan, Uncle could never open that closet. Your grandmother said there's an important file in it, but no one can open it, not even your grandmother can do it, the only person who can open the closet is your late father." Arfan recalled Uncle Faisal's words to him when he had just returned from abroad and visited Grandma's company.
At that time, Arfan did not care much about all that because he was not interested in the company at all. However, this time Arfan felt he should be able to keep his family-owned company after many events that occurred, of course just relying on Uncle Faisal was not enough.
"I'm done, baby, I'm gonna check something out for a second. You just keep eating it, yeah, don't rush."
Arfan got up from his seat, leaving Mentari who had not finished the food he was enjoying slowly. Arfan walked over towards a vault. Suddenly he wanted to try to open the closet out of curiosity about the contents inside.
Arfan tried to unlock the closet with his fingerprints and it turned out to be a good fit. Something very surprising to him.
"What a pity why can I open it?" Ask Arfan to himself.
"Is this what Grandma meant?"
"This company actually belongs to my father and mother?" Arfan was curious, because all he knew was that his father and mother died when he was very young.
Arfan found a file that was stored very neatly in the closet, Arfan's hand was trembling as he opened sheet by sheet of documents that made him find a fact.
"Act this company in my name?"
"What does all this mean?"
Arfan finds a piece of paper containing a message from his late father, a message written by hand.
Arfan my son, forgive your father and mother if when you grow up you will not find us by your side, we may be gone but our do'a will always be with you. We entrust you to the Owner of Life and the regulator of all life when our care does not reach you, Son.
Dear Arfan, when you can read your father's writings, that's when we hand over what we have to you, as well as this company. We hope you can be an heir who is able to develop the company well. Take care of this company with all your heart, we're counting on you son.
Remember, son, if there are many people out there who do not like our success. So be careful, because something that looks good is not necessarily actually good and something that looks bad is not necessarily bad in fact. Because, in the depths of the ocean we can dig, but the depth of the human heart we can not dive.
Remember that the biggest enemy in our lives is ourselves. So, stay wise and always respect others, do not look at them from the side but look at them from various angles.
Mom and Dad love you, son, grow up big and wise. We Love U so much 💗💗💗
Arfan slumped to the floor while reading his father's handwriting, his tears just flowing. He who never cared about the company turned out to have a big responsibility that he had to shoulder.
"I'm sorry Dad, I'm sorry Mom. All this time I was busy with my business until I forgot what was really my responsibility." Arfan was still crying on the floor.
Mentari who saw her husband was not okay, ran towards Arfan and hugged her husband to be calmer.
Mentari read the inscription in the paper held by Arfan after taking it from Arfan's hand.
The sun came crying as he pleased, "Don't be sad anymore, we started everything from the beginning. Father and Mother will definitely be very happy up there if you see Brother managed to keep this company well Brother."
"So that I almost ruined everything, I don't know how I should apologize to Mom and Dad and Grandma."
"Son, it's not your fault, so it's better that we fix everything now."
Arfan hugged Mentari tighter, "Help me start, baby."
"Surely Brother, I will always be behind you and support everything you do as long as it's a good thing."
"Sister should save the documents again because we have to go to the hospital to visit Uncle Faisal."
"You're right Mentari, we have to tell Uncle Faisal if we've managed to save the company. Uncle Faisal must recover from his illness immediately."
Arfan kept back the documents he had taken, he just took the paper containing the message his father wrote for him and then locked the vault back.
"Let's go, baby, we better hurry."
Arfan took his wife's hand and left the company, which today ceased operations a day and will be active again tomorrow.
"So is this a good time for me to get into the company?" Arfan asked as the two were still half way to the hospital.
Mentari answered Arfan's question with a charming smile.
"Do what you love, brother, if getting into the company is the path you choose then I know if that choice is the right choice for you." Mentari made her mind while looking at the face of her husband who looked very tired.
