The Marriage Pursuit.
117. The Papi Johan.
HAPPY READING'S...
***
Arjun and Akira disembark after being opened the door by Galih right in front of the terrace of the Pradipta House.
"You wanna stop by first?" ask Arjun. It's possible that Galih needs a warm drink before returning to his apartment.
"No, I'm tired." reply Galih and go straight into the car back.
"Well, be careful." replied Arjun take off Galih's car from his house.
While Akira just smiled kindly as seen to everyone.
Hand in hand, Arjun and Akira headed to the main door. But just stepping in, a man stops Arjun and makes Akira and Arjun stop his steps.
"Good night young master," said the man in a neat suit with glasses always perched at the base of his nose.
Arjun did not react but still nodded with the greeting of the man who was older than him. It could be said that the man in front of Arjun was as good as Papi Johan.
Akira was not surprised by the man either.
He often saw him coming with Papi Johan when he came home from work.
Right.. In front there is a Secretary as well as Papi's personal assistant.
A man who faithfully accompanies Papi Johan wherever he goes.
If the man gets to see Arjun, of course there's something important to talk about.
That's what makes Arjun a little worried and guess what he has done to make Papi interfere.
Arjun clasped Akira's hand tightly and made the girl look at him. Find out what is happening right now.
"The Great Lord asked you to meet him." said the Secretary in a flat but polite tone.
What's the matter? Akira shaking.
"Come,"
Arjun immediately followed the man's footsteps towards Papi Johan's workroom which was on the ground floor of Pradipta's house.
Their steps become the only sound created. Somehow the atmosphere of the house also looks quiet like uninhabited even though it is currently a dinner hour.
Usually many servants are still passing by.
"Did Akira also come in?" arjun asked as the man in front of him had already touched the doorknob.
A moment of silence and answer the young master's question, "Yes young Master,".
There was no reason for Arjun to ask his wife to wait for him in the room. In fact, they must face Papi at this time as well.
The sound of the door slitting sounded terrifying. Slicing the hearts of Arjun and Akira to make the book stand up. Normally, my hair would stand up to see ghosts, but not for them. Facing Papi alone had made their guts shrink.
Arjun.. I was afraid of. Akira's inner self while tightly grasping her husband's fingers.
In the room, Papi Johan was sitting in his chair. His gaze could not be separated observing the movements of the 3 people who had just arrived.
"I'm sorry, sir,"
it turns out that the Secretary just drove Arjun and Akira alone and prepared to get out.
Silence immediately took over the atmosphere. Both Arjun and Akira were bowed in a standing position. The hands that were holding each other were no longer visible.
Akira peeked occasionally to see her father-in-law. It was obvious that Papi Johan was still sick to see his slightly pale face with a circle of pandas around his eyes.
It's been 2 nights Akira and Arjun are not home. Yesterday the planned brand would return in the afternoon, failing again because Arjun suddenly felt unwell. So Akira had Arjun stay at Dad's house until this morning.
That's why Arjun asks Galih to use the Taxi and meet him at Akira's parents' house before finally leaving for work.
Neither Akira nor Arjun asked Papi or Mami for permission at all, which is probably why they got angry and asked Arjun to meet him in the study.
"Where are you guys?" ask Papi Johan suddenly.
The hearts of Akira and Arjun increase in speed. Arjun does know how assertive the Papi, but different from Akira.
"But papi, we're from Adam's father's house..." Arjun is speaking. Because he is responsible for everything that has happened.
"What's wrong?"
Answer what is this? batin Arjun did not immediately reply.
Akira is getting nervous and scared.
Even the room that was cool because there was air conditioning, turned hot and stuffy
Making cold sweat splash on Akira's forehead and back.
"Java!" snapped Papi.
"Because I miss you" replied Akira.
"Because Akira wants to stay the night." replied Arjun.
And in the next second both Akira and Arjun look at each other because their answers are not the same.
Why answer like that anyway? inner Akira.
How do I know.. We haven't talked about this, have we? inner Arjun.
Glekk... Arjun and Akira swallow his saliva with great difficulty.
They are like a thief caught in action.
"So what's your excuse?" papi Johan's.
How upset and angry he was when he found out that the son and daughter-in-law were fighting.
Don't ask from whom! because of all the things that happened to his family, Papi Johan will be the first to find out.
And it is not denied that the problem of Arjun and Akira until it is heard in his ear.
"Sorry Pi.." replied Arjun. Apologize first before saying anything.
"About.." call Papi. Maybe if Arjun, it could have been that guy's son lying a little to his father. But what about Akira?
Maybe Papi will know everything from his daughter-in-law's mouth. Because Akira wouldn't dare lie.
"I'm sorry for Akira Pi" but just like Arjun, Akira says sorry.
Both of them even looked deeper.
Make Papi inevitably have to approach both. Standing right in front of his only son with a gaze up and down repeatedly.
Arjun slowly raised his gaze, looking at what Papi Johan was currently doing. But just looking up at Papi's chest,
A loud noise from one's hands made Arjun and Akira both close their eyes in surprise.
"Arjun.." call Akira who realizes that the voice is a slap from Papi Johan to her husband.
It was a punishment for your conduct that foolishly wanted to spend the night with a cheap woman after marriage! papi Johan in his heart.
"Arjun.." whined Akira with eyes that began to brood.
It was sad to see what had happened to her husband.
"Do you know what your fault is Arjun?" ask Papi Johan.
Arjun nodded confidently. The slightest mistake he ever made was the only reason why Papi hit him.
Papi never forbade it for anything in the past, but now it's different. Arjun is married and should not do such a stupid thing.
"I'm sorry Pi... Arjun was wrong... Arjun was wrong... Akira is wrong Pi... Akira is wrong because of jealousy." said Akira suddenly. He thinks that Arjun got a slap from Papi Johan because they had a fight and ended up staying at Dad's house.
"You know your fault Akira?" ask Papi Johan.
Akira of course nodded. If you have to be in law at least not just Arjun alone. Akira is willing to be in any law.
"Sorry Pi... Akira didn't trust Arjun yesterday... Because Akira is Arjun to come to Daddy's house.I'm sorry Akira.." said the girl softly.
Fortunately, Adam said that they just misunderstood...
At least Arjun and Akira don't have a big fight.
"Don't repeat!" I don't know who Papi Johan said that to but it was clearly one of the two people in front of him. It could be to Akira because the girl has also made mistakes in the past.
Does Papi know everything? inner Akira was frightened.
"Akira... back to the room first," Papi Johan pinta sounded subtle but did not leave a frightening impression for anyone who heard.
Wh why? why did I come back alone? what about Arjun? of course Akira can't leave her husband alone here.
Moreover, seeing Papi who slapped Arjun just now, has followed so his own fear for him.
At least let Akira wait there, to make sure that Arjun is okay.
"About.." repeated Papi Johan.
"No Papi... Akira's here, just waiting for Arjun." reject Akira. This was the first time Akira said no in front of her in-laws.
It's okay if Akira is considered a dissident, but at least being with her husband makes Akira calm.
Arjun who heard Akira's words immediately showed a difficult look. Trust, pleasure and also haru.
While Papi Johan was seen raising one eyebrow in astonishment.
"Papi.. let Akira here accompany Arjun.." ask the girl again and immediately make Papi understand.
"You're worried about Arjun, Ra?" ask Papi.
Being asked like that keeps Akira quiet even though in her heart she justifies. It could be that when Akira comes out, Arjun will get a slap harder than before.
Given how firm his father-in-law Akira was.
"Don't worry about anything, Arjun will be fine.Go back to your room." Papi assured Akira.
Hows it? akira asked from the look in his eyes to Arjun. Would it be okay if he walked out of the room?
Come out, so look Arjun's eyes decided.
Akira stays out of Papi Johan's office despite several visits to confirm that Arjun actually told him to get out of there.
May nothing bad happen to Arjun.Inner Akira and go from there.
