The Struggle of Love Arsyad
Chapters. 2

After that day, Arsyad never again met Pratiwi. It was as if their relationship had been cut off without a word and a farewell meeting of the two.

One month later, Ms. Hanifah saw her niece packing her clothes into her backpack.

"Arsyad forgive the aunt who was unable to help you Nak to fulfill Mr. Lukman's request," said Bu Hanifah while sitting at the end of his bed.

Arsyad turned his head towards Bu Hanifah while holding the hand that began to look wrinkled.

Arsyad tried to be strong and smile in front of his aunt who has been credited with raising him until now, "This is not the fault of anyone, Kok Bi, this has been our destiny and the way of life both of us who inevitably we have to go through with patience and sincerity may my departure to the capital bring good to our relationship," arshad added with a smile that tried as sincerely as he could to show it in front of his aunt.

"Your aunt and uncle only pray the best for you both, but remember the message of aunt in whatever circumstances squeeze your life, Auntie please do not ever dare and try to do anything that is not good at all," asked Ms. Hanifah who begged her nephew.

The couple Pak Budi Jaya and Bu Hanifah until this moment has not been blessed with a child, fortunately the presence of Arsyad in the middle of their family became her solace. Until today, Arsyad is determined to go to the capital city of Jakarta looking for work and also looking for the whereabouts of his parents.

Mr. Budi Jaya went into Arsyad's room with a box and a large brown map.

"Arsyad please bring this son, Uncle sure God willing these two things are very useful for you later" he explained Mr. Budi Jaya.

Arsyad immediately stopped his activities for a while, then grabbed both important items of his since childhood.

"This is what Uncle?" Ask Arsyad full of investigation while flipping through the two.

"Open up so you can know what the contents of this map are," asked Pak Budi who smiled faintly.

Arsyad initially hesitated and hesitated to open all the important objects one by one.

Arsyad unhesitatingly opened a rectangular box more akin to a cube. The gaze of his eyes that immediately sparkled brightly saw a gold jewelry that is a ring and a gold pendant that is inscribed with ruby jewels.

Arsyad stared at the family members he had at the time, "Sorry uncle whose ring and whose necklace is it?"

Mr. Budi cleared his throat before opening his voice, "this is all the relics of your mother before leaving here after successfully giving birth to you safely into this world."

Arsyad was very surprised to hear the words from his uncle because, during this time he thought that he was an orphan who was cared for by his uncle and aunt.

"My uncle, please be very clear because I don't understand any of this at all," he was Arsyad the young man who was just twenty years old who had been bold and desperate to propose his idol despite the rejection and harsh treatment of his lover's family.

Pak Budi took a deep breath and exhaled quite loudly while staring at his wife.

Mr. Budi also began to talk about his past directly related to Arsyad," About twenty years ago, we worked in one of the richest people in Jakarta, Indonesia,we worked there for almost ten years, but one incident forced us to go home from there and return to the village together with the Young Miss of our master who was pregnant at the time without a husband because our employer's child was trapped in the situation who loves a married man with a heavy heart, we came home that night in a stormy rain condition at that time and it only took about seven months our Miss was pregnant and successfully you were born into this world safely without any shortcomings and in circumstances healthy and plump, just one week you were born Young Miss left here and left this box and map before she left she told us if you ever grow up find your parents, son," bright Oak Budi while wiping his tears dripping down his cheeks.

Bu Hanifah occasionally stroked her husband's back to give strength to Pak Budi to continue his explanation at that time. Arsyad did not expect that he was the son of a family that was.

"But, it's possible that everything has changed Uncle because it's been twenty years since this incident happened, but I hope to still be given the opportunity to meet them," arsyad hopes it will become a reality in his life.

"The two of us always pray for your kindness, son, and may you meet your biological parents soon" Ms Hanifah said.

"Amin ya rabbal alamin," he said they simultaneously.
