Azkia stared fixedly at Indhira's face. After the departure of Bagas, the owner of Alexa Boutique is still curious about Indhira's true desire for Bagas. Azkia did not even have Indhira do his job as her personal assistant, instead she chose to introgate Indhira.
" Ra, why are you so easy to forgive Bagas? All this time you were faced with a very strange problem, all because he caused it. Why did you just melt into Bagas anyway, Ra?" Azkia was surprised by Indhira's attitude that was too quick to forgive Bagas, even though Bagas' mistake was very fatal and should Indhira be more restrained from returning to Bagas.
" I ... I have no other choice, Mom." replied Indhira gamang.
" Because you were forced by Bagas, right?" azkia tuding.
" Forced by circumstances, Mom. I find it difficult to fall in love with other men because I fear they cannot accept my past. And after I was reunited with Bagas, I thought maybe we were destined to be together, especially Bagas also seriously want to improve their relationship." Finally Indhira explained his reason for accepting Bagas back.
" It means you are forced because you are afraid that no man will accept you. I see, right?" Azkia.
" It's not like that either, Mom!" Indhira quickly denied Azkia's allegations.
" Because you're still expecting him?" Azkia asked again.
" I ... I have not been able to dispel my feelings to Bagas, Ma'am." I Indhira honestly as I lowered his head.
" You're ready to face the toughest risk you'll face if you stick with Bagas?" Azkia was really not sure Indhira would be able to survive against every obstacle that would block Indhira's relationship with Bagas.
" Bagas promised to keep fighting for our relationship, ma'am."
" Gosh, Ra. You're so naive, anyway!?" Azkia to the head gurgles faced the innocence of Indhira's attitude. " You just hold on to Bagas' promise? Then what if Bagas can't keep his promise, will you be okay? Aren't you going to be disappointed?" Azkia to the dismay with the innocence of Indhira.
Indhira was silent at Azkia's words. He did want to be with Bagas, although the fear also remained.
" I don't mean to rule your life, Ra. But as a person who cares about you, you should rethink the desire to continue with Bagas. I just want to protect you from people who will hurt you later." Azkia again advised Indhira, trying to open Indhira's mind to be more realistic.
Not that Indhira did not care about Azkia's worries, but her love for Bagas was so great. He also tried to remember the struggle Bagas to be able to find it again. It felt very unfair if he ignored Bagas just like that.
" I will try to fight to accompany Bagas, Ma'am. If our struggle failed and we were not together, maybe it was because we were not meant to be a match. But at least we've tried." Out of nowhere Indhira had the power to compose the sentence and say it before Azkia.
Azkia let out a long sigh and exhaled slowly.
" Okay, if that's your decision, Ra. I can't keep holding you back. I'm just giving you advice. If you really want to keep fighting with Bagas, you must strengthen your heart from now on from any intimidation that will be done by people who will oppose your relationship.*
" I know, Rissa and her family will also regret your decision to be with Bagas, but they are not strong enough to oppose your wish. The possibility that will be your biggest stumbling block is the Bagas family, especially the Bagas parents. They are rich people with high social status. They can do anything they want with the money they have. So, if you want to continue to fight together with Bagas, do not be weak, do not easily give up facing any type of intimidation carried out by the Bagas family later." Azkia gave input to Indhira, because she knew Indhira was very weak. Azkia wanted Indhira to be a strong figure and not easily shed tears.
In Bagas' own office, the man was anticipating Adibrata not to find out the figure of the woman who came with him to the office. He told his staff to delete the cctv footage in every corner of the room that Indhira went through when he came with him just in case Adibrata asked for the cctv recording in the office. He also told Esther and the security guard in the basement to shut up if her Papa to extract information about the presence.women in Bagas office.
Bagas did not intend to cover up his relationship from Adibrata. He wanted to protect Indhira. If his father knew Indhira before he met Nathael. She was afraid that her Papa would suppress Indhira. The plan was that if he had already finished his business with Nathael, whatever the outcome, he would be ready to face the obstacles that existed including the toughest obstacles from his Papa.
***
As promised by Bagas this afternoon, finished from his office, Bagas immediately picked up Indhira because he wanted to drive Indhira home and meet Rissa's family.
" Accelod ..." Indhira goes inside Rissa's parents' house.
" Neurova ..." Lidya's mother welcomes Indhira. The woman's face was immediately aghast when she saw the presence of Bagas beside Indhira.
" Good night, Auntie." said Bagas to Mother Lidya who was still astonished at her arrival.
" M-night." Even to the nervousness of Mother Lidya answered a greeting from Bagas and received a helping hand from Bagas who wanted to regret it
" Aunty, this is there Bagas wants to meet with Aunt and Om." Indhira said that Bagas came to the house of Ms. Lidya and Mr. Edwin because he wanted to meet and talk with Rissa's parents who had been caring for and accommodating Indhira in the difficult times of the woman.
" Oh, s-please come in." Still in disbelief with the appearance of Bagas, Mother Lidya invited Bagas to enter her house.
" Thank you, Auntie." Bagas also entered the living room of Rissa's parents.
" Ra, Auntie call Om first, yeah!?" Lidya's mother asks Indhira to accompany Bagas because she wants to call her husband first.
" Good, Aunt." sahut Indhira.
" So after running away from your house, you live here?" bagas asked, feeling silly because all this time he had been lied to by the Rissa family.
" Yes." Yeah."
" I once had Benny watching Rissa when I heard you ran away from home. But, Benny says there's no you in this house." Bagas remembered when Benny to send a picture of Rissa and her mother who were talking on the balcony of Rissa's house.
Indhira turned towards Bagas. He was also at that moment, when Rissa told him that Benny was watching him.
" So you're intentional about hiding from me, huh?"
" I have no other choice, Bagas." said Indhira explaining his reasons for doing so.
" Acst ..." The sound of Mr. Edwin who cleared his throat appeared in the guest room made Indhira and Bagas allow a view towards the sound of Mr. Edwin came from.
" Night, Om." Bagas immediately got up and shook Mr. Edwin's hand. " I, Bagas, Om." Bagas introduced himself.
" So you're Bagas?" Mr. Edwin looked down with a sharp highlight towards Bagas.
" Right, Om. I am indeed Bagas, the person most responsible for what happened to Indhira all this time." Without fear of intimidation from Mr. Edwin, Bagas admitted that he was the party most responsible for Indhira's suffering.
Mr. Edwin and Ms. Lidya looked at each other. They did not expect if Bagas dared to admit his mistake, saying that he was indeed guilty of all that Indhira had experienced so far.
" Why did you come here?" Same thing with Raffasya, of course Mr. Edwin will not be easy to accept the arrival of Bagas knowing if Bagas has made Indhira suffer.
" I came here because I wanted to offer my apologies to Om, Auntie and Rissa's family. Because of my actions, Om and Aunt have to bear Indhira living here. I also express my gratitude, because the help of Om and Aunt made Indhira able to survive the problems he faced for more than eight years." Not wanting to eliminate the services of Rissa's parents, Bagas also expressed his apologies and thanks for the good treatment of Rissa's family to Indhira.
" For us it doesn't matter. Indhira is a good boy, he we have considered like our own child" replied Mr. Edwin in response to Bagas' apology and gratitude.
" I am grateful, Indhira is in the environment of the people who protect her." Bagas turned his head towards Indhira for a moment.
" What else do you want to tell us?" ask Edwin again.
" I'm here to ask Om and Aunt for permission, because I intend to make amends for Indhira. I intend to marry Indhira, Om, Auntie. I know it won't be easy for me. Therefore I beg the blessing and from Om and Aunt to support my intention." Bagas finally explains his main purpose of coming to Rissa's parents' house.
Rissa's parents were again surprised to hear the intention of Bagas who wanted to marry Indhira. They looked at each other again with frowns, and now they both looked at Indhira.
***
Indhira just finished performing Isya prayer after cleaning his body first because it is now close to eight o'clock at night.
About half an hour ago Bagas had just returned home after successfully convincing both of Rissa's parents of her intention to marry Indhira. Thankfully Bagas had no trouble convincing Rissa's parents. After the blessing of Indhira's side is obtained will be lighter steps to achieve what is desired by both of them.
Ddrrtt
Indhira grabbed her phone when she heard the flat object ringing. It turned out that Rissa's name appeared on her phone screen.
Indhira mende legitimate, it seems that Lidya's mother has told about the arrival of Bagas to Rissa so that her best friend immediately contacted her at this time.
" Assalamualaikum, Ris." said Indhira picked up the phone call in Rissa.
" Nehalehafel .. Ra, is it true that Bagas came to the house? How, can he meet you? So, do you really want to take him back? Marry him? Oh my goodness, Ra. Why are you in such a hurry to make a decision, anyway!?" Just like Azkia, Rissa also very sing Indhira's decision which he considered too hasty not to discuss first with him.
" Ris, I understand your anxiety. I understand you are very worried about me. But, I promised Bagas that we would fight together no matter what we got, at least we tried." Indhira explains to Rissa why she wants to take Bagas back.
" And also, Bagas has always been trying to find me. It would be unfair if I didn't give him a chance to correct his past mistakes. If you think I'm a bo doh woman, I accept, Ris. I just can't move to another heart, and I want to open my heart back to Bagas." Maybe people will consider themselves too naive, as if forgetting their suffering during. But, is it wrong if he also wants to achieve his happiness? And his happiness is with Bagas.
While at his house, Bagas who had just arrived from Rissa's house was immediately confronted by questions by Adibrata in the guest room.
" Where have you been all day, Bagas?!" investigate Adibraya about a sharp eye asking for answers from Bagas.
" I have a need" said Bagas later.
" Papa told you, don't leave the office for anything unimportant!" Adibrata reminded again of the threat of his daughter's tone.
Bagas did not respond to the sentence spoken by Adibrata. He stepped into his room and said, "Goodnight, Pa "
