The End of Two Semesters
Chapter 10 – Good Intentions Arya

That afternoon, Arya and Rozak went straight to Hermawan's house to explain the smeua that happened three days ago. Arya ventured to talk everything to Hermawan because she did not want to hide everything from Hermawan about Santi. Moreover, Santi has been pregnant.

“Excuse me good afternoon, sir? Can I help you?” Sapa Satpam in front of the Hermawan house that welcomed the arrival of Arya and Mr. Rozak.

“Good afternoon, Sir. You remember me, right? The bridal car driver three days ago was, but it was replaced because I had a sudden affair at that time,” Arya said politely.

“Oh yes I still remember, which at that time I said to the mini market to buy a drink, right?” said one of the guards.

“Iya, right, sir,” replied Arya.

“What's going on here, sir? The bride ran away, what are you doing here? Do you want some gas money? Or pay again? But is your car not used?” ask Satpam.

“Oh no, Sir. I want to meet with Mr Hermawan, want to ask about shophouse Mr Hermawan who said he wanted to be auctioned or sold? This is me driving this father who wants to ask questions,” replied Arya with such reasons.

“Ehm .. well, let me drop off, sir,” he said politely.

Arya parked her car, then she was escorted by one of the guards who guarded in front until she entered the magnificent Hermawann house.

“Please, Sir. I call you Mr. Hermannya.” Ujang invited Arya and Mr. Rozak to sit in the living room.

Ujang asked for the help of Yuda who was inside to call his boss. And, before long Hermawan gallantly came out from within along with his personal assistant Judah. Also behind him was the wife of Hermawan who came out from inside.

“Yuda, Ujang, leave me and my wife,” said Hermawan arrogantly.

“Good, Sir,” answered.

Yuda was forced to come out with Ujang. However, Arya stops Judah and Ujang so that they do not come out, because she desperately needs a witness from them about Santi.

“Let them here, Sir,” Arya said.

“Why? What's the deal with them? You guys want to meet me, right?” ask Hermawan.

“Yes, but I also need them, this is about Santi putri pak. Bride who ran away when she was getting married,” said Arya.

“You mean? Did you find him? Then where is he now? Send her home, because I will marry her to the man I chose!” furious Hermawan.

“The men you paid, right? I will explain all, as long as they remain here, because they are also witnesses,” Arya said by pointing towards Ujang and Yuda. “You are here only, because I need your testimony as well,” Arya said politely.

“Good if it wants you,” said Hermawan. “For a while it seems like I am no stranger to gaffer?” ask Hermawan with Rozak.

“Diamond Owner Textile,” says Rozak.

“Jeez, Rozak?” he said kindly and with a smile, looking at Rozak in front of him.

“Yes, I'm Rozak, have you forgotten what it looks like? Understandably it has never been in your shop now,” said Rozak familiarly.

“Father knows?” ask Arya.

“Who does not know a successful entrepreneur like him, Ar? Back then when we both pioneered from zero, we often coffee together, right, Her?” rozak.

“Iya, we often coffee together at Mbak Sri's store right?” said Hermawan with a laugh.

“Who's this, Zak?” ask Hermawan.

“My son, who else?” answer Rozak.

“That's so handsome your son, who used to help you in the shophouse, right? Time is still in college?” ask Hermawan.

“Still remember you, Her,” said Rozak.

“Then why do you know about Santi who ran away? The boy, already humiliating the family, even plus run away when getting married. It's a shame, to have a child, a woman, not that she's a child of pride but even a dissident!” hermawan said furiously, with his chest rising and falling because it was holding back his anger.

“So I took Santi away, meaning I was told Santi to drive Santi away, sir. I refused but Santi threatened to kill himself, so how else, I was also put on a knife in my neck, I was afraid, young, unmarried but would die silly, I was afraid,” said Arya.

“Kok can be same you?” ask Halimah.

Arya explained everything to both of Santi's parents. There's nothing Arya's been covering up about all about Santi.

“Is she okay, Arya boy?” ask Halimah.

“Santi well, she is safe there,” replied Arya.

“What are you asking your son who is a dissident?! Want him to go, want him to die even if I don't care! Let him go!” hardik Hermawan to his wife.

Halima just shut up. She could no longer dwell when her husband was already angry like that, let alone about Santi. Halimah did not dare to speak up when it came to such a thing.

“Pak, I came here also want to ask permission to marry your father's daughter. He does not want to go home, it is also impossible for me to escape the responsibility of letting Santi live alone, because I brought him to Pekalongan. Sorry if I am sassy to talk like this,” said Arya.

“You want to marry a dirty woman like her? Look at your looks! You are a successful businessman, your future is bright, you are good like your father, it is not worth you to marry a dirty woman like him!” hardik Hermawan's.

“If he does not marry a good man, do you want him to marry a bad man? Men who are paid by you for example?” arya.

“Know what you are about it! You tell Santi where I don't want to pick him up, don't let him set foot here!” said Hermawan.

“Rozak, listen to me! I don't agree with your son marrying my son who's the son of a bitch and shit! I would never agree to it!” hermawan.

“Her, but my son would kindly ask your son?” rozak.

“No, just let him hang around there, without anyone pitying him. This is the path he chose, because it has gone against my rules!” hermawan growled with a red face.

“Pa, don't be like that. Santi is also entitled to have a good husband,” said Halimah.

“Know what you are about that, Halimah! Arya is a good man, not worthy to be with your despicable son! Did you hear Halimah? Unbecoming, totally inappropriate!” shouted Hermawan.

“You better go home, don't ask for blessing with me, I won't care anymore with the boy! And you Rozak, tell your son, not to marry that dirty woman!” said Hermawan by directly entering into.

Halimah was still sitting in front of Rozak and Arya. She cried until she had a breath, hearing her husband say that. Heard her husband saying such a thing to his daughter.

“Nak Arya, if you want to marry mother's daughter. I bless her, marry her, even without her father's blessing. Take care of Santi, I'm taking him. If he doesn't want to go home, let him calm his heart. Just tell mom about her health and the news. I will not look for him, because I believe you can take care of Santi,” said Halimah.

“Arya is going to marry Santi, Mom. With or without the blessing of mother and Mr. Hermawan,” said Arya. “But, if one day you want to see Santi, do not tell Santi about me who, because he knows I am a driver, so I beg you to keep this secret,” added Arya.

“Iya, I will keep this secret, as long as you want to keep the mother's child, at least until Santi gives birth,” said Halimah.

“Iya, Mom. I will take care of Santi, because I have to take responsibility for Santi's departure,” said Arya.

“Before you go to Pekalongan again, I want to leave something with you, I tell you tomorrow. I dare not leave it here, afraid that Santi's father will be angry if he knows everything,” said Halimah.

“Good, Mom. Me and my dad came home first,” said Arya.

“Halimah, I say goodbye. Say hello to Hermawan,” said Rozak.

“Iya Mr. Rozak.”

Arya came home confused, why Hermawan so much hate with Santi, so that if Santi died he did not care at all. Though a father should be happy and happy his son will be married by a sincere and well-intentioned person.
