The Hidden CEO's Son
Funeral.

Ms. Hana is still at the grave side of her son and husband. So did Arkan and his family. They are all deeply saddened by the deaths of Mr. Erwin and Nilam.

There is nothing sadder in this world for Arkan, except the death of the woman he loves. Yesterday Nilam announced his intention to go abroad. And it turns out that was the last time Arkan saw Nilam.

Everyone has left the tomb. Currently, there was only Bu Hana and Arkan who were still on the eating side. Ms. Hana and Arkan still appear to be sowing flowers on the graves of Mr. Erwin and Nilam.

"Prophey to Tan. We do not know Tan, what calamity will befall us in the future. Maybe, this is all Nilam's fate and Mr. Erwin must leave us," said Ms. Arkan while rubbing the shoulder of Ms. Hana.

"Yes." Yeah."

Ma'am Hana looked at Arkan.

"Tante has no one now Arkan. Nilam is Aunt's only daughter. Aunt confused, how to live Aunt without Nilam and Om Erwin."

"Prophe Tan. Aunty still has me, still has a mama, still has Nessa. Aunty can still think of me and Nessa as Aunt's children."

Ma'am Hana grabbed Arkan's hand.

"You want to be Auntie's son?"

"Yes Tan. It's okay if Auntie wants to think I'm a child. Because I love Nilam Tan. I've considered Auntie like my own biological mother."

"Arkan, now Nilam is gone. Aunt just wants you to forget Nilam. Because Nilam won't be able to get back on our side."

"Yes Tan. I let Nilam go."

"Auntie hope, you will accept your wife and child in your life. Do not continue to tangisin Nilam. Let Nilam be happy in his new life."

Arkan nodded.

"Yes Tan."

After sowing flowers on Nilam's tomb, Arkan and Bu Hana then left the tomb.

***

One month after Nilam's departure,

Sunday morning, Arkan was still sitting on his front porch. Sometimes he looks at Arumi and Rafa who are still playing in the front yard.

Arkan smiled when he saw them.

"I'm sorry Arumi, Rafa, because I can't make you happy. All this time I can only make you suffer."

Arkan got up from his seat. After that he walked over to Arumi and Rafa.

"Can I play?" ask Arkan after being close to them.

Arumi and Rafa looked at Arkan at the same time. Rafa smiled at Arkan.

"By Papa."

"Thank you, yeah."

Arkan looked at Arumi who was still holding the ball owned by Rafa.

"Arumi, can I borrow the ball?"

"Eh, yes. It's." Arumi gave the ball to Arkan.

"Thank you, yeah."

Arkan then took his son to play ball in the front yard of the house. While Arumi went to the back to get a drink.

Moments later, Arumi arrives with two bottles of cold drinks and snacks for Arkan and Rafa.

Rafa looked towards Arumi and approached Arumi.

"Mama.."so Rafa.

Arumi smile.

"What did you bring?" ask Rafa.

"This is a drink for you. Who knows you're thirsty."

"Thank you Mama." Rafa immediately took the bottle. After that he took it.

"Udah Ma."

"You put it on the table."

"Yes Ma."

"Oh yes. All the snacks mama tipped, put it on the table."

Rafa then picked up the jar and walked towards the nearby table.

A few moments later, Arkan walked up to Arumi.

"This is for me Arumi?" ask Arkan.

"Eh, yes Young master. Please take it."

Arkan then took the bottle. He then drank up to half a bottle of the cold drink.

"Thank you, yeah."

"Yes young master. You're welcome."

"Arumi, I want to talk to you."

Arumi looked at Arkan.

"We just sit there yuk!"

"Yes, sir."

Arumi and Arkan turned their bodies to the chair on the front porch.

"Mom, Papa,"

Arumi turned towards Rafa.

"You play by yourself first. Mama wants to talk to Papa."

Rafa nodded.

Arumi and Arkan then sat on the front porch of the house.

"What's up, sir. What do you want to talk about?" ask Arumi.

"Arumi, don't call me Mr. Arumi. I'm your husband."

"But if I call it another name, you'll be angry with me."

"No Arumi. I won't be angry anymore. I now realize that you're my wife and Rafa's our real son."

"Yes." Yeah."

Arkan suddenly grasped Arumi's hand tightly.

"Arumis. I want to apologize Arumi."

"I'm sorry for what?"

"I've been bad all along with you. I don't know if my mistakes are forgivable or not. I've been too mean to you Arumi."

Arumi smile.

"I've forgiven you before you apologize."

Arkan smiles.

"Have you really forgiven me?"

"Yes, it's."

"Arumi, do you want to give me a chance. I want to prove to you that I can be a good husband and a good father to Rafa."

"You mean?"

"I want to change Arumi. Do you want us to open our hearts and open up a new chapter of our lives?"

Arumi was shocked when she heard Arkan's words. He didn't expect Arkan to talk like that. Even though yesterday he was still cold to Arumi.

I don't know what happened to Arkan, Arumi doesn't know. But maybe, God has opened Arkan's heart and softened his heart so that Arkan wants to be kind to Arumi.

Now Arkan wants them to open their hearts and open a new page of life. Maybe Arkan will learn to love Arumi.

"You mean?"

"I can't love you yet, Arumi. But I'm gonna learn to love you and Rafa our son."

Arumi smile.

"Thank you you for staying here, even though I've been rude to you."

"Yes Mas. I seem to want to do the same as you. Trying to learn to love you. Although all this time, I still hate you for your attitude."

Arkan was shocked when he heard Arumi's words.

"You hate me?"

Arumi shakes.

"No. But I hate your rude attitude."

"I'm sorry Arumi again. I promise, I'll change after this for Rafa's sake."

"Yes mas. I believe in you."

Arkan then kissed the back of Arumi's hand many times. The first thing Arkan ever did to Arumi

Finished
