"As is clear, Raya's not going anywhere." Darma's firm voice had made Elrick trepidated even for a moment. The man seemed to be unable to be bought with money, so the intention to leave some money for him to be allowed to bring Raya seemed to be useless.
"But Oma already loved Raya very much, thinking of her as her own grandson. Even the departure of Raya until weeks ago made Oma fall ill," said Elrick exaggerated.
"sorry. Not that I don't believe in your kindness, but honestly I don't believe in you. Now I'm asking, you yourself, what does Raya think of it as?"
Elrick. Questions he had not predicted before. Observing Raya who had sat back before him, the moment the girl's face lifted, surprised by her father's question, but looked down again.
"You know the current state of the Kingdom, don't you?"
Elrick was confused. What is the state of affairs does Darma mean? but for the sake of saving himself in front of the man, he simply nodded.
"good. So you know, if it's a woman, what else is a widow with a man who has absolutely no relationship is not justified. My son has had enough of a sneer. So, you better tell your Oma, if Raya won't be returning to Jakarta!" Firm Darma.
"I'm sorry, but I think you can't ban Raya's wishes. He really wants to go back to Jakarta" said Elrick confidently. He had already made up his mind to bring Raya back. Because Oma and...
"Why did you manage. Now I want to ask, who is Raya? husband?"
Elrick shakes.
"Love?"
Elrick shook his head weakly. There was a feeling of emptiness when it required him to shake his head.
"Lantas, on what basis did you decide what was best for the Kingdom? The looks of your playboy that alone has made me not believe in giving up Raya even if only to accompany her on the way to Jakarta. You look like a crocodile ready to prey on my son. So get out of here!"
Checkmate.
Elrick died a flea. Deeply wondering does Darma already know he's his bandit? but can every criminal get a chance to right his wrongs? Uh, but does he want to?
"Dad..," said Raya mediate. He knew that Elrick was already very angry at his father's words. He knows Elrick, the man who doesn't want to be denigrated. But Raya also knows the character of her father who is hard and can not be intervened if it has made a decision.
"What's? you want to defend this venereal villain, too?" darma leaned his back against the back of the chair.
Slowly the Raya shook her head. "Good, a man like this doesn't deserve to be defended. An arrogant man, only his own desires are important, cannot appreciate the feelings of others, and always looks down on the status of people below him!"
Elrick's eyes grew increasingly glared, and Raya had seen that. The man was eager to scold Darma, but was undone. Besides because the old man's words were right, he also did not want to make things worse. It will be harder to bring Raya back.
"Once again, it's getting darker. You just go home. Don't bother us anymore. Raya, prepare dinner, hungry father."
Darma had gone inside, without saying anything more to Elrick. "I'm sorry, Mom," said Raya, feeling bad. But actually Raya does not blame her father. What his father said was true. Raya alone until now still upset at the man remembering his words at their last meeting.
"Your father is like a lion, you know. Not giving a gap to people, play a hit," said Elrick staring sharply at Raya.
"Mas Elrick is also like that, not much different from father. If my father was a lion, Mas Elrick was a Polar bear, the white polar bear. Scary, cold but adorable," said Raya unknowingly vilifying and praising Elrick.
"What did you say? I'm a polar bear?"
"Lo it's yeah..." Raya had not had time to open her mouth again, a scream from inside echoed.
"Raya. Come quickly! I'm hungry."
Raya got up, and immediately stepped in. "Mas, come home, say my regards to Oma huh. Oh yeah, thanks for wearing the shirt. The cake is more maximal," he said shyly and soon passed away.
To say just that, Raya needed to gather her courage. While opening the door for Elrick, Raya had already realized that. He even smiled, though at first glance, afraid that Elrick would see his smile.
There was a sense of pride in his heart the man turned out to be willing to wear his gift.
The father and son had already started preparing to eat, the rice of various side dishes had already been lined up on the dining table. Because their village supplies fresh fish, Raya always cooks many types of fish in different ways. She really likes cooking. So when married first, Dika always praised his cooking.
"Raya, is the guest home yet?" ask Darma after receiving a plate containing rice given by Raya.
"It's like, Dad."
"Look, you guys don't have manners. You never want to be the same guy who doesn't have that kind of morals, yeah!"
The Kingdom just nodded weakly. "Dad don't worry, I'm not the type, Mas Elrick, either" he said.
The sound of the plates clashing, the two began to eat after reciting the prayer. "Cock, daddy's feeling bad, huh? look ahead, who knows the front door hasn't been closed yet" Darma said.
"Aaach.." cried Raya when on the doorstep of the middle room and the front room.
Darma rushed over, then saw what Raya saw. Elrick was still there. Sitting sweetly in its place. Listen to all the conversations of father and son from the dining room which is indeed one wall with the front room. "You're still here? why haven't you come home?" hardik Darma is advancing. Clean the fish oil on the corner of his lips.
"I've got to bring Raya back, sir." Elrick still stands by his stance. Poor Oma I sir, afraid of why-why. He was eager to meet Raya." Elrick's words with his shoulder face made Darma tremble for a little while, appearing as a fingernail of his trust in the man.
"Have you eaten?" darma is running away from the topic. Elrick was a guest, but they ate alone without taking Elrick as the host. Darma does not want to add to his sins. The principle in his life, when he eats, people who are nearby must also get food. Must share so that the windfall is smoother, and always can be a blessing from God.
"Yes, already. Here eat first," bargained Darma.
"But Raya can come back to Jakarta, right, sir?"
"Let's talk again. Now I'm asking, are you going to eat or not?"
"You, sir," said Elrick following Darma and Raya's steps into the dining room.
