The Arrogant Widow of Father Choice
Chapter 5

I don't know what to say but I was so shocked to hear the matchmaking that Pak Wijaya (grandfather Rima and father David) delivered.How could I spend my life with a man like him and what my father thought of him so as to agree to this matchmaking.First time meeting with him alone has made me swear not to be found again with then how could that be the opposite if I agreed to the match then every day I would see her face that I hated so much.

As usual if my emotions overflow I just want to be alone and spend time on the porch of my room just do not want to be disturbed anyone.But not long I heard my voice calling me and the voice was very close it seems like you're standing in front of Pi in my room.

"Naima's father's favorite daughter....?"

Call Dad gently knocking on my bedroom door.

"If it's true that I'm dad's favorite daughter, there's no way that you'll ever set my match up with an arrogant monster like David."

I answered from the room I didn't lock.

"Well.monster?"

"Who said David was a monster?"

"David is a good man, son, you just need time to understand."

Obviously, Dad tried to convince me.

"Good man, he is a man who has no father's heart.."

My whine to my dad was upset while opening the door.

"Naima..sometimes we need to get to know someone more closely so that we know what the reason behind a person's bad attitude is, you just met David, you don't know his past, you don't know his past,he used to be what kind of man he was, so don't be too quick to judge him as a man with no heart.

Father's advice to me.

"Father, I already know who he is."

I said.

"Oh yeah, try telling me how far you know David."

Father told me.

"David it, the strange stone-hearted man who was reluctant to love his daughter Rima himself.Even I began to understand it was possible that his wife Rima's mother left him because of his arrogance...I don't even think what kind of woman could spend the rest of her life with that weird guy."

I delivered my assessment of David that Dad asked for.

"Of course it's a woman like you."

Replied the mother who had been standing behind me since then when I passed my judgment on father.

"Ah.mom.."

Whine again with spoiled try to refute.

"Why mother?"

"Of course you're the woman who can deal with a heartless man like David."

Answer me try to convince me.

"I...?"

I pointed at myself and was confused.

Answer mom at the same time.

"What's the reason?"

I'm getting confused.

"Listen son, son,actually, Mr and Ibu Wijaya had long wanted to propose you to be his daughter-in-law even before your marriage was canceled.Then I refused it because I know you love Arya who turned out to have the heart to leave you in the days leading up marriage is only because he cannot accept your lack of being unable to conceive.When Dad was so devastated to see your situation,accidentally Mr. Wijaya called just asking news as a friend who had not met for a long time.Denadah sad father also told what had happened.She was also sad and he recalled the proposal he had submitted and after dad thought this was God's will, the reason your marriage was probably the way you could meet David and Rima.

Obviously father.

"Meeting David and Rima ?"

"So this is all Dad's plan?"

I'm a little upset.

"Actually not dear, dear,but everything that happened so a coincidence and as it has been planned.And once again I say somehow father felt all this way shown God.So look at your situation so sad father thought it best you must be kept away from all your past memories and as a good friend of father asked for Mr. Wijaya's opinion even though at that time father had not given an answer to his proposal for you.And then he recommended the house we live in now the day we moved into this house they deliberately didn't come to us so you wouldn't ask,but when I first saw you they liked you so much.Especially when Wijaya's mother saw you chatting with Rima at your school so familiar, she felt that Rima was so comfortable and safe when she was with you,and he's so happy to see her."

"Darling.you know, you know,currently, Rima's custody is being sued by her birth mother but Rima's grandparents do not allow it because they know what the reason that makes David separated.So from that David was asked to go home as soon as possible the thing that is very difficult for David at this time is his status that does not have a temporary wife if seen from the age of Rima who is still a minor case this case may be won by his biological mother."

Obviously dad's back.

"Isn't it better if Rima is taken care of by her mother?after all David did not love his daughter even reluctant to see her."

My answer came back so prestigious while my heart said I loved Rima so much.

"Naima, everything is not what you think it is, David has a reason for it and someday you'll find out and you'll understand."

Answer Dad.

"Yes but....."

"Naima darling,mom's dad didn't force you to accept this match if you're having a hard time accepting it.But when we saw you loved Rima so much and always smiled when we were with her we thought maybe this matchmaking plan was right God didn't mean you could be a mother of your own flesh and blood, because God wants you to be a mother of a helpless child like Rima."

"Squeaky..."

Mother's last words touched my heart and made me begin to understand the meaning of this matchmaking.

"Well mother's father, give me time to think in making this decision.And if I agree the reason is none other than Rima."

I said like I was self-fortifying.

"Okay baby, we believe you're a wise woman to make decisions."

"Rest.."

Our conversation ended after my mother's father kissed my forehead affectionately and said good night to me.

I was still sitting on the porch of my room was glued to look towards the house Rima.See there is one room whose lights are still on and I feel it is the room Rima.Sepintang adorable Rima face when he speaks in the style of an adult.

Rima stole my heart.....

Seriate...
