Being slapped by a parent is a very painful thing for her child's feelings, and it is very painful for Rifki who does not expect that her biological father will do this to her, especially with the harshness.
All this time Haris had never behaved like that to Rifki, and it was only the first time Haris had slapped Rifki's cheek so hard.
"Papa did not expect that the child that Papa was proud of all this time would say that to Papa even by wearing such a high tone"
Rifki was disappointed with the decision of his parents, but on the other hand Haris was also very disappointed with what Rifki did, Rifki has never been high-pitched to him all this time but this time Rifki did that.
"Don't hit Rifki again"
"Why did Papa hit Rifki's sister? This must be very painful for Brother".
"Papa never taught you anything like that! Why are you changing so much now? Not like the Rifki Papa's known all along".
Rifki immediately released the handrails of his sister from his hand, seeing it made Ayu feel astonished by what her sister did, which she did, Ayu did not want to let go of Rifki's hand and it made Rifki immediately release his hand grip with a very rough.
"Pump Rifki only Pa! Kill Rifki too! Rifki already doesn't want to live anymore, what is Rifki living for!If you don't understand Rifki's feelings at all" Rifki said with tears because he was unable to hold back his emotions.
"RIFFY!" Jerking Princess.
"You've dared to fight Papa now apparently ha! Has that girl blinded your mind Rifki! Rifki conscious!".
"Nadhira is not wrong Pa!"
Haris looks so disappointed with Rifki's words and immediately holds the collar of Rifki's shirt very tightly, the child and father look at each other with emotion, full of emotion, and it makes Putri and Ayu try to separate the two.
"Yet Mas, release Rifki" said the Princess while holding her husband's hand.
"Pa, don't fight with Brother, Ayu please, pity Brother Rifki Pa" said Ayu who tried to remove Haris' hand grip from Rifki's collar.
"Papa's very disappointed in you Rifki".
"Just hit Rifki Pa!" Rifki said angrily at what Haris had done to her.
Bhukk..
"Mas!"
"Sister Rifki!"
Haris immediately threw a fist to Rifki's left cheek and it made Rifki fall on the ground with the tip of her lips torn so that there was a glimmer of blood at the end of her lips, feeling the pain of the wound made Rifki immediately remove the blood stain using her thumb.
"One day you will realize your mistake Rifki, we did this only for you Rifki, Papa feels that he has failed to educate you well, one day when you become a father you will understand how Papa feels, how disappointed an old man like Papa Nak" Haris said.
Rifki really did not think that Haris would throw a very hard blow at him, even to make him slam on the ground with a bang.
"Sister, what's wrong, brother?" Ask Ayu who immediately approached Rifki with tears that trickled down and helped her to get back up.
Ayu panicked when she found out that the tip of Rifki's lips had now been torn and shed a lot of blood until it flowed to her shock, although Rifki had removed it but the blood was back flowing.
"Why is Brother bleeding like that? That must have hurt a lot, sister"
Such injuries were common to Rifki and they did not hurt him much, but what made it even more painful was that the person who gave them the injury was someone he had always respected.
"Sister what is Ay, do not cry like this Ay, Brother does not want to see you cry just because of Brother" replied Rifki while holding her cheek with a smile that emanated on her face.
"Sister, Papa is really late at this time, Papa has hurt Brother like this".
"Ay, this is also the fault of Brother himself, already do not cry like that just for Brother, Brother really not why why why Ay".
"PAPA! Why should Papa hit Brother like this! Ayu is disappointed with Papa" said Ayu loudly while crying.
"Well, what a big brother, this is just a small wound anyway, don't hate Papa yes, Ay is a good Brother Sister" Said Rifki while holding his sister's hand so that Ayu did not follow her anger to her parents.
"But Brother, Papa has hurt Brother".
"Ay, I've already noticed what's wrong".
"Mas! What did you do to Rifki, why did you have to hit Rifki like this? Is there no other way to do that?".
"Dek, let him realize with his mistake, Rifki really has changed because of the girl".
"But not like this too Mas way, do you want to hurt our own child?".
"Pa! Nadhira is not wrong in this! Rifki was really disappointed with you two, why did you do this to Rifki? Why did you separate Rifki from the one Rifki loved, why Pa? Why Ma? Answer Rifki's question, what mistake has Nadhira done?"
"Rifki listen to Mama, Mama did this just for your good son, Nadhira is not the best girl for you".
"Arghhh.... What kind of goodness does Mama mean? For the good of Rifki or is it just for your sake? Rifki has the right to determine with whom Rifki will be together someday".
"Rifki, Mama loves you so much, son, no parent wants her child to suffer, Mama did this just to choose you the right partner, so you don't regret it in the future Son".
"How do you know the right partner for Rifki? Only a couple can know each other, even the closest people do not necessarily know the true character of someone Ma".
"Riffin".
"I have to find Nadhira immediately, I don't want to lose her"
Rifki immediately turned around to step away from the place, he had to find out about where Nadhira is currently and bring him back, Rifki did not want to make Nadhira go from his life.
"Rifki stop!" Shouting Princess.
The shout immediately stopped Rifki's steps, but a few seconds later Rifki resumed his steps to leave the place, but a few steps later he stopped his steps again after hearing the screams from the Princess.
"Riffy! Do you want Mama dead!" Shouted the Princess and instantly made Rifki turn her head.
"What did Mama do?" Rifki asked in surprise when she looked at the Princess.
The Princess held a knife that was previously in the fruit basket where Princess and Haris were chatting earlier, the Princess also pointed the sharp tip of the knife towards her own neck.
"Do you really want Mama dead?" Asked the Princess while looking at Rifki.
"Go and find the woman! Don't mind Mama Rifki anymore, maybe after this you won't be able to see Mama's face".
"Pa! Why is Papa silent! Stop it Mama!" Rifki asks her Papa to stop what her mother is doing.
"Dek, put down the knife now yes, do not play with sharp objects like that" Haris said to the Princess.
"Let it be, let Mama die, for what Mama lives if Mama no longer means anything to Mama's children".
Rifki was so surprised, why his mother suddenly became reckless like this, he even willingly threatened himself by wanting to kill himself, he said, only to separate himself from Nadhira the person he loves the most.
"What do you really want from a Rifki? Please remove the knife right now Ma, Rifki beg Mama" asked Rifki who slowly approached Mama.
The Princess was sure that Rifki would not allow herself to be in any danger, and that made the Princess take advantage of her situation so that Rifki would soon forget Nadhira and accept the arranged marriage she had already determined.
"You choose Mama or that girl Rifki?".
"Rifki can't decide that Ma, Rifki loves you both so much, how could Rifki decide between Mama and Nadhira".
"Mama asked you Rif, did you choose Nadhira? If you do that then let Mama die, but if you choose Mama then forget about Nadhira for good".
"Ma, Rifki loves Mama very much, but Rifki can't lose Nadhira either".
"So you want Mama dead?" The princess immediately tightened her grip and put a little tip of the knife on her neck.
"Don't Ma! All right, Rifki's going to obey Mama's wishes, Rifki doesn't want to lose Mama, Mama put the knife".
The princess nodded at Rifki and put the knife in her hand back in the basket of fruits and it made Rifki able to breathe freely again.
Hearing Rifki's words at a glance can be seen a strand of smile on the Princess' face, while on one side Rifki only forced herself to be able to smile at Mama when her own heart was broken at this time, because he can't be with Nadhira, the person he loves the most.
"Mama will arrange a meeting between you guys, she's a good girl Rifki, she's Mama's best friend's son".
"As for Mama" said Rifki indifferently.
"Son, love comes from getting used to it, maybe after meeting her and getting to know her more closely, you will definitely get used to her".
"Rifki wants to go to Ma's room".
Without a word Rifki immediately rushed to leave the place, Ayu who had only been silent since then immediately chased after her Brother, Putri could see the sadness in Rifki's heart but he had no other choice, but he had no other choice, meanwhile, Haris is happy because Rifki finally accepts the match despite the drama.
"Sister, wait for Ayu" complained Ayu who tried to equate his steps with Rifki.
"What the hell Ay, go to your room there Ay, I want to be alone, don't disturb Brother" said Rifki and continued to step away from Ayu.
"Does Brother love Brother Nadhira?" Tanya Ayu arrived and made Rifki stop stepping when she was about to enter her room.
"What do you know about love, have learned there that is true, do not interfere in the affairs of Brother".
"But Brother....".
"So tired, I want to sleep".
Rifki immediately closed the door to her room and did not allow Ayu to enter her room, Rifki locked it from the inside and she really needed peace of mind and mind.
"Who are you!"
When Rifki flipped her body from facing the door, Rifki was so surprised to find the figure of a middle-aged man standing in front of her with both eyes emitting a golden red color, staring at Rifki.
Without answering questions from Rifki, the figure of the middle-aged man suddenly disappeared from Rifki's sight, and it made Rifki look back and forth to look for the figure.
"Why did that figure come here? What was the purpose of coming here? How did he get in here? Didn't I put a magical fence in my room"
Rifki also looked towards the surrounding to find the figure, but he did not find it at all, he was very confused by the arrival of the creature arrived let alone his room that had been given the magical fence, so that supernatural beings cannot enter.
Rifki also walked to his seat in the room while facing towards the outside of his room, looking at the beautiful sky in the afternoon, and there was a little orange light that was so beautiful.
"Dhira, where are you? I'm sorry, you must have been hurt by Mama's words that time right, I'm sorry Dhira for letting you go home with Mama that time, come home Dhira I miss you so much".
Rifki stared at the beautiful twilight this afternoon with full hope that Nadhira will come home soon, like the beauty of this twilight, Rifki hopes that everything will end happily.
*****
This afternoon, Nadhira sat pensively on the balcony of a villa he rented, Nadhira also looked towards the sky where there was a beautiful twilight, so beautiful, without him realizing that a single tear had fallen on his cheek.
"Rifki, I hope you soon forget me, let myself endure this pain alone, I don't want you to feel it".
Nadhira leaned his body against the chair while staring at the twilight, the twilight was so beautiful but only for a moment, he missed Rifki so much but he did not dare to contact Rifki, but he did not dare to contact Rifki, even if I just ask him how he is.
Whether what mistake he had made that made Mama Rifki match her to someone else, the relationship she had been waiting for just disappeared, after a long wait, Rifki's parents disapprove of the relationship.
For five years he had been waiting for Rifki's return from abroad, withstanding a very burning longing, and now the wait was in vain, he had to take Rifki along with others even though he had to be hurt.
"Rifki, whatever I'll do as long as you're happy, let me soak it all up and this pain, please quickly forget myself so you don't get too hurt because of this"
Nadhira stared with tears drenching his cheeks, the long wait he had been waiting for all this time instantly shattered and created an extremely painful wound in his heart.
Rifki is the figure of a man he loves the most after his father, the mental and physical violence he got from childhood makes him unable to recognize who he is, who he is, however, the affection given by Rifki makes it able to survive until this moment.
The father figure for girls is like his first love but when he hurt his little daughter then his little daughter will vent to other men to be able to pour out his heart, if Rifki had never been present in his life, he might not have been able to survive.
After the departure of his mother after the car accident that went into a ravine, when he was really destroyed, he had lost his home where he could pour out all his heart, since the arrival of her stepmother the house has been like a hell.
And at that time Nadhira felt that when everyone hated him, there was only one man who doted on him sincerely and encouraged him to keep going despite the many obstacles that hit, the man was Rifki.
What is the power when fate really separates the two, life must continue to run and will be many obstacles that hit them later, he is eager to stop this story, he said, but he was unable to leave the person he loved for long.
"Rifki, you mean so much to me, I hope you're happy for good even though it's not me who'll make you Rifki, I love you so much Rifki for today and forever, my Prince Rifk, I love you, you're my only reason to be happy Rifki".
