Yara nodded understandingly then hugged her mother's body tightly. She was truly relieved after listening to the advice and stories of her mother, and would do as her mother had said.
Meanwhile, elsewhere Ryder is sitting in the balcony of the hotel room she is staying in. The wind was quite strong did not make him feel cold, even at this time his body felt very hot.
"What else should I do, Yara?" ryder murmured with a dark gaze as dark as tonight. He rubbed his face violently, then turned his head inside the room when he heard the door of his room being opened by someone.
"Why haven't you slept?" ryder asked as he saw his papa walking towards him.
Eric shook his head. "Here, Mama wants to talk to you. Said your phone on the phone wasn't active." He gave the flat object to the son.
Ryder nods and talks to her mother, while Eric sits in the chair.
Eric's eyes immediately looked at the floor where it was seen scattered several cigarette butts, and it could be ascertained that all of them were his former son.
"Is he thinking about Yara?" Eric gave a rough breath. Ryder doesn't usually smoke a lot if she's in good shape.
Moments later, Ryder gives the phone back to her father after talking to his mother, more precisely hearing her mother's nagging telling him to return home.
"What's up, Ryder?" eric asked as he patted Ryder on the shoulder who was sighing heavily.
Ryder looked towards the father. "Tomorrow I'll go back to the village first Pa, after all the business is done, I'll just go back home."
Eric shook his head. "No need, Papa has told Richard to prepare for my mother's departure here, so let your mother come."
Ryder smiled happily when she heard him, then nodded in agreement with what her papa was doing. She was sure if the mother would like to be invited to the village where she lives.
"Then, what about Yara? Did something happen between you?" ask Eric to come back.
Ryder again let out a rough sigh. "Come, Pa. I don't know what's going on with us." He answered with a clean slit.
Eric then asks Ryder to tell him everything that has happened, of course he must know it in order to provide a way out of the turmoil of his son.
Without waiting for long, Ryder immediately told the father everything without anything hidden because his father had the right to know what happened. So that I can give advice to him.
"I don't know what to do now" Ryder said after she finished telling me everything.
Eric shook his head while patting Ryder on the shoulder. "Why don't you know what to do?" He said in wonder. "Of course all you have to do now is wait, Ryder. That's it, there's nothing else."
Ryder was getting overwhelmed by the void when she heard it. Wait out? Actually how much longer should he wait for all that, has the wait and the struggle been lacking?
"Listen, Ryder. What Yara is doing right now is not because she doesn't want to accept you, but she needs time to convince herself" Eric said. "He and you are different, Ryder. In the past, she has been hurt and destroyed by a marriage bond, and not everyone is as strong as she is and can survive. Then, after that you come into his life and add more wounds that he may not have been able to heal. Don't you remember any of that?"
"Trauma, the fear, the pain in his heart must not be completely gone, Ryder. And all that scared him to go back to the household ark, you should have understood about it" Eric continued. "You can't force him, Rayder. But all you have to do is show her, and make her believe in the love you have. Remove all the doubt and fear in his heart. Once he believes, then he himself will come to you."
Ryder nodded in understanding of what his father said. True, he must not be a selfish man who does not think at all about Yara's feelings. From now on, she will show and make the woman believe in the sincere love she gives.
"Look at it, Yara. I will show you all the love that is in my heart, and I will also let everyone know that I love you. Until the end, you'll come to me and ask me to marry you."
***
The next day, Ryder returns to Yara's house to take the woman back to the village together. Previously, he had contacted Zafran for the man to come along with them.
"Why should I go there?" zafran asked in disbelief when he faced Ryder. There's still a lot of work to do.
"I need your help, Zaf. Come on, let's go in!"
"What?" Zafran screeched not to accept what the man said. Rayder could have just answered like that, even casually pedaling in without caring about his refusal.
Yara is shocked to see Ryder coming. He thought he would only go with Zafran, because his sister did not say anything about him.
"Is everything ready?" ryder asked while looking at all the items to be brought.
Yara nodded. "Are you going back there too?"
"of course. There's still a lot of work to be done" Ryder replied.
Ah, right too. Ryder still has to take care of the factory problem that Yara already knows that it belongs to Ryder, even she is very surprised to find out.
"But what about your wounds, Ryder? You can't do a lot of activities so that the wound doesn't open again" said Yara worriedly. "it's better to wait until the wound is dry, and just rest here."
Ryder shook her head. "No need, Yara. My wounds will surely dry up quickly and heal, for I am not alone, but go with my medicine, which is you."
