Tangled Yarn Shackles
Decision of Rudi, om,

"What do you mean say all that, An?" asked Rudi after the door closed again.

Anne turned her eyes the other way. He walked towards the glass window in the corner of the room. He could see the mini garden next to the house that looked neat. He leaned back there and let Rudi be curious about the answer.

"Don't piss me off, An!" said Rudi after standing near Anne. This time there was no soft talk as usual.

"Pi, now I ask, What does Papi want from Dara?" anne asked as she stared at the husband's black bead in a fixed manner.

"Of course as a parent, I just want Dara to be happy and her future is beautiful!" rudi replied without taking his eyes off Anne.

The peach-colored lips were pulled inward after hearing that answer. The answer Anne was waiting for her next step, "Well, if that's what Papi wants, then why would Papi oppose their relationship? Isn't it obvious that Dara's center of happiness is Juna?" anne's sarcasm made her husband look the other way.

Heavy breathing sounded there. The look of disappointment was still clearly visible on that wrinkled face. Om Rudi was fretting at the current situation. Many things he had to consider when making a decision, let alone this concerned his daughter's feelings.

"An, how could I possibly calm down, seeing that Dara was going to be with her lover. How will he support Dara after marriage? I was just afraid that she would not be able to live Dara's lifestyle after marriage and that Dara would eventually be left behind. I don't accept that!" Om Rudi took out all the burdens that he had been carrying all this time.

Hearing a long sentence spoken by om Rudi, managed to make Anne cluck. He wondered why the husband's mind was so limited. A mature man like her husband should think more broadly.

"But this is why it's so complicated, anyway! Yes, this is how it is, now I ask, all this time Papi worked hard for whom?" anne asked with a waist-tousled.

"Make you and Dara!" answer me without thinking.

"Well! It!" Anne moved her index finger towards Rudi, "if it is the result of this hard work for Dara, why Papi is complicated with Dara's future. Everything can be arranged, Pi! Dara's only child Papi and Papi's company are in several other major cities. Why didn't Papi trust Dara and Juna to raise the company later? After all, Papi's wealth will not run out to finance Dara even though he has a family later!" anne said with a view that could not be separated from the husband.

Om Rudi ruffled his hair after hearing a long explanation from the wife. His mind is not only that, it is difficult to give blessing to Dara and Juna.

"Pi!" Anne touches Rudi's arm, "please, Pi. He is an adult and Juna is a good man. He went to college because of his intelligence. The campus that invited Juna to go to college with a special scholarship track," Anne said in a very soft voice.

All persuasions have been spoken by Anne to melt the heart of Rudi, because she herself could not see Dara destroyed because of her separation with Juna. Especially later, when his relationship with Rudi was revealed. Really, Anne couldn't imagine that anymore. She had to go to great lengths to conquer her husband's heart at this time.

***

Meanwhile, in the living room. Dara looks restless waiting for Father and his best friend who never returned to the living room. Dara is very hopeful that this time Anne managed to melt her father's heart.

"I'm just afraid something will happen to you, Say," said Dara, staring at her face. In fact, he had not had time to comb his wet hair.

Dara looked at the lover's face with a sad look. He was very worried that Rudi would do something that could make Juna expelled from the campus to get away from him. Of course Dara can think like that, because he knows how his father when angry. This time, he was just waiting for a miracle to come to feel a hint of happiness.

After waiting for some time, Dara finally saw her father out followed by Anne. Her heart beats more and more when Rudi sits on the sofa in the living room, while Anne chooses to sit on Dara's side. The atmosphere in the living room was tense again while waiting for the decision taken by Rudi.

"Do you two live in this house?" tanya om Rudi while staring at Dara and Juna alternately.

"No, Pi!" dara answered without daring to look at her father.

"I live in a dormitory" said Juna without taking his eyes off the face of om Rudi.

"Now say it honestly! Before I came to this house, what did you guys do? Did you have a relationship that wasn't supposed to happen?" ask Rudi firmly.

Dara straightened her head after hearing the question. He might dare to do that. During this time their relationship never exceeded the limit, because of the magnitude of Juna's feelings for Dara. So, Juna really takes care of Dara's integrity and this is what makes Dara comfortable near Juna. He is not afraid of being abused or forced to have that relationship.

"I just came to pick up Dara and take her to the museum, Om," said Juna without hesitation, because that's the truth.

"Yes, Pi. Dara never lived in a house with Juna. We're just gonna take a walk out, nothing more." Dara looked at her father intently, "if Papi has any doubts about us, Dara is willing to undergo a visa or virginity test, let Papi believe that we have never had any relationship!" Dara challenged her father.

Om Rudi crossed his legs after hearing that explanation. The anger that had flared up had disappeared just like that after being watered with Anne's soft speech in the room earlier. Dara's explanation also managed to make him breathe a sigh of relief because after all, he did not want his daughter to live in free association in modern times like this.

"But still disappointed with you, Dar! Because you've been lying to Papi a lot! Even though you can keep yourself here, Papi still can't believe it completely. Being away from the supervision of parents might make you negligent of boundaries. So after Papi thought ...." Om Rudi stopped his words, maybe he was considering his decision.

Dara looked to the side, looking at Anne full of question marks, as if looking for answers from her best friend. Anne just put her shoulder to shoulder because she herself did not know the decision of her husband. His job was just to persuade the mature man to approve the relationship Dara and Juna.

"After the semester break, you have to go back to Indonesia!" rudi said as he turned his eyes to Juna, "if you are serious and love my daughter, take your parents to our house, because I need proof not just a promise! Lamar Dara was there!" om Rudi said firmly.
