Shackles Love Contracts CEO Secretary
Joint Decisions

As Aji's grandfather once said for his father to get to know Syadira, Aji intends to bring them together. Previously, Aji wanted to speak four eyes with his father. He wanted to re-examine the story his grandfather had told him.

Unfortunately, Aji's father refused the meeting. He said he was still considering Syadira as his son-in-law. This time, Aji did not want to argue with his father, since he knew the sad story between his father and mother. Aji just wants to continue to persuade her father to open his heart to his future daughter-in-law.

“So Dad knows ‘kan pain separated?” tanya Aji wanted her father to understand her feelings.

“Isn't our problem the same? About equality, it's just different parties,” continued Aji made his father pensive.

Aji's father sighed. “Dad just didn't want Syadira to feel what you were feeling. Even though the financial condition of the family has improved, the grandparents of your mother still can not accept Dad, they continue to compare Dad with your husband who is an employee of the government. Because they from the beginning wanted their children to be married to PNS.”

Aji asks her father not to do things like his grandparents did, so that Syadira does not feel what her father used to feel.

“That is exactly what, I want to consider and not want to rush to make a decision. He is still in college ‘kan. The road is still long,” said Aji's father.

Aji asks that her father try to get to know Syadira. Who knows, his father's mind will be open after getting to know his future daughter-in-law. During this time, Aji's father only saw Syadira from his background.

“Ji, past and present cannot be equated. In the past, maybe everything could still be fine, but now, the importance of finding an equal partner so that there is no problem in the future,” said his father.

“So Dad still doesn't approve of Aji's relationship? Suppose until later Aji does not find a woman like Syadira, who is the same as mother, do you still want Aji to keep looking? Until Aji is 40?” challenge Aji.

Dad needs time,” said Aji's father slowly and left his seat, leaving Aji.

An unwanted encounter by Aji's father, but it is disputed by the universe. This afternoon, Aji's father, who was stopping by a supermarket, accidentally met Syadira. They looked at each other and Syadira greeted the father's respect from his lover.

Syadira ventured to talk to Aji's father, of course with slow and polite intonation. “In addition because I am not from a rich family, what makes Mr Haryo not like me?”

Aji's father fell silent and went on to pick up some of the products he wanted to buy.

“Am I that low and not worthy to be with Mas Aji? Haryo sir disgusted to see a poor woman like me? But I'm just like any other woman, sir. My body is clean, not disgusting it,” Syadira continued his talk with great respect.

Aji's father did not respond to anything and left Syadira for the cashier.

Before long, Syadira immediately headed to the cashier finished he took a drink and some instant noodles, but when he was about to pay, the cashier employee refused the money given Syadira, because Aji's father had paid him.

“Bapak who wears a blue shirt was advised to pay all mbak groceries wearing white clothes,” said the cashier employee who pointed to Aji's father who will board his car.

Syadira looked around the corner of the supermarket to make sure that only she was wearing white. He immediately brought his shopping bag and rushed out to thank Aji's father. “Thank you very much, Sir.”

Aji's father remained silent until his car began to drive away from the supermarket. Syadira continued to stand in compassion looking at Aji's father's car which slowly moved away. But actually, Aji's father also continues to see Syadira from the rearview of his car.

This afternoon, Aji promises to pick up the girlfriend at the college. Aji's car stops in front of the stop where Syadira is waiting. 10 minutes passed, Syadira has not been seen. Aji got out of his car and sat at the stop waiting for Syadira.

Before long, Syadira came to him. “Udah long? I just finished class.”

“New coming. Why are you lethargic?”

Not wanting to speak in public, Aji invites Syadira to get into the car.

Syadira told me about her meeting with Aji's father this afternoon. He found it hard for Aji's father to accept. Until it feels impossible to continue all this. Syadira admitted he had lost.

Hearing her lover's story, Aji seemed to think. Then, they expressed their opinions to determine the fate of their relationship. They agreed on the decision that had been discussed, for the common good.

“Hopefully this is the best decision," said Syadira flatly.

Aji nodded steadily and clasped Syadira's hand.

Finished taking Syadira to the boarding house, Aji decided to return home immediately. When he got home, he looked lethargic in front of his grandfather and father who were gathered in the television room. Until Aji's grandfather asks him, but Aji only answers nothing.

These few days until it has been almost 1 week, Aji still looks uninspired and lost his direction in front of his grandfather and father. Aji also did not appear to take Syadira, they had never met since the last Aji picked up Syadira on campus. Until one day, Aji's father wants to talk to his son before going to the office.

“Why are you, Ji? I noticed you weren't like you used to these days.” Aji's father wants to dig deeper into Aji's problems.

Aji. “Syadira asks Aji to stay away from her.”

“What's the reason?” ask Aji's father to know.

“Because Syadira doesn't want to keep Aji and dad apart and keep arguing just because of him,” Aji said with a disappointed and sad face.

His father could only take a long breath.

“You mom is still there, maybe mom can help Aji persuade and talk to Dad. But it's too late, Syadira has asked Aji to stay away from her, even leaving her. Maybe it is destiny Aji must lose the people that Aji loves,” continued Aji memelas.

Then, Aji said goodbye to his father to leave for the office first. Aji's father sat still watching his son walk away. Whether what he was thinking, did his heart hurt to see Aji, or was he happy because his will was fulfilled?
