Still Wishing He Back?
70. Shown Together

"That.., ah there was indeed a slight quarrel between Arka and her friends." With a little care and hesitation, Citra ma'am finally gave his reply to Darren as the papa of Arka.

"If it makes my child cry like this is not this problem serious enough and should not be left alone?"

Bu Citra was speechless unable to answer Bian's slightly sharp question looking at her. He froze a little when he saw the expression Darren showed.

"I'm sorry sir, I as Arka's homeroom teacher will take responsibility for this and will find a solution so that something like this will not happen again in the future." Definitely bu Citra.

"What would you do to a child who would intentionally bully my child to tears like this? Moreover, how do you respond to this incident for the parents of the perpetrator who actually looks silent behavior of his child?"

Darren made an instant atmosphere of silence and tension, Arka's friends who had disturbed him were also afraid to see Darren's anger, because Darren stared coldly at everything, no exception for the parents of Arka friends who had just been indifferent to the attitude of his son who was disturbing his son, now only biaa silent silence because of the anger of Darren.

"Sorry, if I ruin the mood, but I just don't want to see my son treated like this anymore." He said as he continued to carry Arka in his arms.

The event was briefly delayed with the anger of Darren who saw his son continue to cry and did not even want to let go of his embrace.

"I also saw this yesterday, you as a homeroom teacher should be able to provide sanctions for children who can not appreciate the theme, but more on parents who actually silence their children's bad attitude." Darren still looks angry.

"Good, sir. Forgive my carelessness as a homeroom teacher, just promise something like this won't happen again." Bu Citra continued to ask for Darren's generosity which seemed still angry.

"I accept your apology, but I can't let this matter pass you by, therefore I have to meet with your principal." Said Darren who did not want to let go of his son's problems.

"Well, I'll take you to our principal." Reply Citra bu who can only obey the will of Darren as a guardian student whose child is being harmed and hurt.

....

Although the event was delayed due to the anger of Darren who did not accept the condition of his son, but the event continued as before, with Darren and Arka who joined after Darren managed to persuade Arka who had been crying since then and did not want to let go of his embrace.

"Arka doesn't want to go with her other friends on stage?" He told the boy who kept hugging his body.

"Arka..., look at papa deh, look at Arka's friends who are currently on stage with her father, does Arka not want to go up on stage with papa?" He tried to persuade Arka.

However, Arka remained silent and did not call his words, making it very difficult. Darren, who had just experienced such an event for the first time, had been confused and felt a difficult feeling in the face of the attitude of a small child who was flirting.

"Is Arka angry with papa?" Still in his car, Darren tries to get Arka to talk.

However, Arka only responded by shaking her head.

"Have you been here, did Arka not want to show Arka's face to papa? Papa wants to see Arka's face!"

Arka who had kept her face hidden, finally tried to show Darren, and that certainly made Darren smile with relief, because he managed to persuade his son.

"The hero has to be strong, if you cry like this it will not look cool." Darren said as he wiped the tears on his two cheeks.

"Papa really Arka, right?" Said Arka who finally gave her voice.

"Yes, right, papa is Arka's biological father." Darren smiled and looked at his son.

"Will papa go again from Arka?" Ask Arka.

"No, papa will never leave Arka again." Darren replied looking at his son's face with an expression full of affection.

"really? Papa didn't lie, did he?"

"Yes, papa doesn't lie, if papa lies Arka can be angry or hit papa."

"Arka does not want to hit papa, Arka just wants to continue with papa alone." He said with his plain face.

"Alright, papa promised to continue with Arka and will not leave Arka again."

The chat, making the atmosphere of Arka back cheerful and excited again.

....

Along with his friends, Arka also returned to attend school events that oblige him to perform with his father on stage. The show featured a performance with each of her fathers on stage, and Arka chose to sing with Darren on stage.

Although a little awkward when doing it, Darren who did not want to make his son disappointed, inevitably ended up doing it.

"Is Arka happy to perform with papa?" Darren asked after getting off the stage.

"Yes, Arka is very happy." Reply Arka who this time looks fine and does not grieve anymore.

Darren gently stroked the top of his son's head and looked at him with his fluffy smile. While the two were chatting casually, the arrival of someone stopped the conversation.

"Arka, we'd like to apologize to you." Said Bima, along with other friends he approached Arka with a slightly scared expression.

"Will Arka not forgive Arka's friends?" Darren asked the silent Archa.

"Not knowing." Reply Arka who seems reluctant to forgive them.

Darren who understood that, just observed in silence.

"It's okay if you don't want to forgive them, but apologizing to them is the same as helping ourselves." Darren said, but his words were not understood by Arka who was currently looking at him confused.

"I mean papa, if Arka accepts their apology, Arka does not have a grudge against them anymore, and Arka will be a good person to forgive them." Said Darren again, whose speech this time a little understood by Arka, seen with the expression Arka who responded to his words.

"Well, Arka forgives you, if you insult Arka's mother again, Arka won't forgive you." Said Arka later, to his friends who were still waiting for a reply from him.

"Thank you, we promise we won't do that again, then we go first." All ran away after hearing the answer from Arka.

Darren just kept silent to see their departure, because there was something so interesting when he heard his son's answer.

"Arka was angry not because they were insulting Arka, but because they were insulting Arka's mama, huh? Why is Arka more angry about mama being insulted than about Arka herself?" Ask the child.

"Because Arka loves Mama, and Arka doesn't like to see mama insulted by them." Reply Arka full of affection for her mother.

Darren was stunned to hear his son's answer.
