Anggraini apparently directly blocked Arsenio's number, some time after the child sent the wedding photos and togetherness with Hans and others in Bali.
Arsenio herself could have guessed that. Hence, he was again only able to take a deep breath and throw it away slowly. The beautiful brunette man, still forced a smile when Hilda asked him about something. He pretended to laugh cheerfully as Rudolf threw a joke.
However, as people moved on to the other discussion, Arsenio lowered her head deeply while watching her phone. He reopened the message he had sent to his mother a few minutes ago. There's no change whatsoever. The message from him is still a gray tick.
Arsenio smiled faintly. There was no way back, he thought. It was only the great hope that he kept in his heart that both his parents would be able to accept him and Binar someday. However, seeing the response of Anggraini like that, it would be very difficult to be able to realize all those expectations.
To relieve his sadness, Arsenio turned off the phone and pulled out the sim card from inside the phone. Secretly, he broke the mini sim card into two pieces. He also deleted the number he used in the chat app.
Arsenio was silent for a moment, before returning to a warm chat with everyone. Until not felt, the time went up in the evening. It looks like Praya is getting uncomfortable. The boy must be thinking about his homework, especially tomorrow the two brothers still have to go to school.
Inevitably, Arsenio had to put an end to the warmth at the dinner table. He stepped up from his seat, then said goodbye to Hans as he thanked him. While Hans repeatedly hugged Arsenio's tall body full of haru. So did Hilda who hugged and kissed Binar's cheek.
“This wedding is the beginning. There is no such thing as being happy constantly. There will be ripples and small pebbles blocking your way. However, as long as you trust and support each other, I'm sure you'll make it through it all" Hans said.
“Remember always that the key to a lasting marriage is two, namely mutual trust and mutual trust. Never forget those two things,” added Hilda.
The sparkle shed tears as it moved. He did not have parents who accompanied his happy day at that time. However, there are always people who can replace the absence of a father and also a mother for him.
"What are your plans after this? Will you settle in Bali or ...." Hans looked at Arsenio and Binar in turn.
"The plan is that I will take Binar abroad, Om," replied Arsenio hiding the bitterness in her heart.
"Autside the country? To where? Are you going back to Holland?" ask Hans again.
"Germany" said Binar suddenly. Though Arsenio has not determined with certainty their goals, even though Germany is in the first place.
"Yes. Germanic. It just so happens that my sister Fabien also lives there," Arsenio confirmed.
"Yes already. Wherever and wherever you are, our blessing will always be with you as well as Binar" Hans said, sighing with regret. Hilda smiled while nodding in agreement.
“Thank you, Om. Thank you, Auntie. All right, we'll excuse you. Soon the night will come. Tomorrow Vishnu and Praya also have to go to school,” said Arsenio, who was soon followed by Rudolf. The German man shook Hans and Hilda's hands before leaving the house.
“Where will you go home?” rudolf asked shortly after he drove the vehicle out of the church area.
“Wishnu and Praya go home, Om. While me and Rain will return to the inn,” replied Binar who was still wearing his white dress.
“Ah is not necessary. Thank ye. I'm afraid that tonight we will disturb you,” lamented Arsenio who was immediately responded with a sharp shot from Binar. Rudolf just laughed while shaking his head.
"Why not just stay at the villa om Rudolf Brother Mister?" Praya is speaking. "Om Rudolf has always been alone. Isn't that right, Om?" Praya, who looked exhausted, still forced herself to talk. Another case with Vishnu who just sat still.
"That's right," Rudolf said as he continued driving. "When my wife and my two daughters died, I just stayed alone in the villa" he explained without being asked.
"Gosh," whispered Binar and Arsenio simultaneously. "What's going on? ask them simultaneously.
"It happened about seven years ago. My wife and two daughters are going back to Germany. While I was planning to catch up with them later, because my job as a teacher in Bali really could not be left. However, it was bad because the plane they were traveling on had an accident. From then on, I decided to stay here, because the memories of my wife and two daughters were all here" he said.
"We are sad, too," said Arsenio regretfully.
"thank you. It's an old story. I didn't mean to forget it, but I also didn't want to keep reminiscing in my memories" Rudolf replied calmly. That guy looks very mature.
"There are some things that we should keep, even if it's too painful. However, if we return everything to destiny and surrender to the Almighty, our pain this time will bear something beautiful and sweet in the future" Rudolf said.
"We may not be able to ascertain the meaning of what is implied by all the bad things that happen. Most people will mourn or even curse themselves. When the wisdom of all bad events comes, then they realize fully that everything is already there that regulates very well. God is Most Merciful. He loves all his people. Never be afraid or doubtful."
Rudolf stopped his car in front of Widya's house. However, at that time Vishnu and Praya were already asleep. Arsenio had to wake them both up. After the two children got down and entered the house, Rudolf drove back to the villa. Moreover, Arsenio's rental motorbike is still in his garage.
Upon arrival at the villa, Binar and Arsenio rushed out of the car. Thousands of thanks he gave to the generous man. "You're a very nice guy. I'm sure, wherever you are, kindness will always be with you" said Binar softly.
"thank you. If it still existed, my first daughter would have been about your age" Rudolf replied. He asked Arsenio for permission to kiss Binar's forehead. Arsenio agreed. "My wife is from Bali. She is a traditional dance teacher. I love her so much. I hope you both can have a love story that lasts until the end of life."
Unasked, Arsenio and Binar embraced Rudolf simultaneously. The taste was so felt at that time. Though, Rudolf was only a stranger to the two of them.
"I heard you were going to Germany. Have you got any idea where it's going to work?" Rudolf turned his gaze to Arsenio after they finished hugging.
"Yet. I'll try my luck there. As before" said Arsenio, smiling.
"Maybe this can help you." Rudolf took the purse out of the back pocket of his trousers. He then pulled out a business card. "Normand Heinze's. He was my close friend. Meet the man and give Rudolf Fiedler his regards. There's no need to be afraid, because Normand is a very friendly man."
Arsenio received the business card, then kept it in her wallet. "How many thanks should I give you" said the man. Arsenio Wilhelm Rainier's pride, arrogance, and all manner of misdeeds seemed to disappear at once, as she found peace among those who broke away from all worldly intrigue and rivalry.
