" Sir what did you mean to get Arman to marry this girl. Arman had not known him before. It was only today that Arman met him" Arman said. He did not think how the father could have the idea to marry him and this girl named Zahira even though he knew if he had a lover so far.
"Sorry sir. I agree with my father, we just got acquainted today. I just want to help my dad. No other purpose sir. At this time I am still in college sir. now I am in my second year of college and I have no desire to go home" Zahira explained with heart so that Mr. Rohmat is not offended.
Indeed, Zahira is currently pursuing a diploma in three departments of office administration at a state university in his city. He entered through a scholarship program held at his High School first. He went to college in the morning. Then work in the afternoon as a minimarket cashier. It happened to be Saturday and there was no scheduled lecture for him.
Hearing if Zahira is still in college even makes Mr. Rohmat more like the figure of Zahira. According to Zahira, the figure of a young man with a complete package in his eyes. kind and polite and enterprising pursuit of knowledge.
" I'm sorry if you get confused like this. I don't know why you feel like you're so fit to be my son-in-law. I'm not playing, son, can you give me your address. After you recover, you want to meet your parents" said Mr. Rohmat.
Arman breathed in annoyance. But he did not dare to dispute his father. His father and mother are people he should respect.
Seeing his little son who was a little upset. Mona tried to mediate. " Mister already.don't first discuss this.the most important thing is the health of the father.pity also see nak Zahira to be awkward like this" said Ms. Mona while gently rubbing the shoulder of Zahira who was beside him.
" I'm sorry Mr. Rohmat. True what is said
Ms. Mona right now the most important thing is Mr. Rohmat's health. And regarding Zahira's parents, Mr. Rohmat will not be able to meet him, because until now Zahira did not know who Zahira's biological parents were. Zahira was abandoned in an orphanage 20 years ago. Zahira was raised and nurtured by Bu Rima, the owner of the orphanage. Zahira is also studying for a scholarship program. Zahira felt that Zahira was inappropriate to accompany Mr. Rohmat's son, so if you excuse me first, Mr. Rohmat Bu Mona and mas Arman because Zahira had to work in the minimarket" Zahira deliberately explained in detail his living conditions. So that Mr. Rohmat no longer intends to marry her to his son Arman.
After the death of Zahira, Mr. Rohmat was stunned. He had not expected Zahira's life to be so hard. Raised in an orphanage without ever knowing who his parents are, Zahira's empathy for the surrounding is high.
" Pak Rohmat's family please take care for the treatment room pack Rohmat to the administration because the patient can already be transferred to the hospital room" a nurse approached them.
" Mister Ma'am. Arman takes care of the room for the father first yes." said Arman.
" Man can you ask for help. Zahira had registered the father. Please ask Zahira's address to the administrative officer" said Mr.
Arman seemed reluctant. But look at the condition of the father who was injured. Arman couldn't bear to refuse.
Arriving in the administration. Arman immediately took care of the handling of Mr. Rohmat. Not forgetting he asked Zahira's address to the officer on the grounds of wanting to deliver something as a thank you.
After finishing everything. Arman rushed to his parents. He handed over Zahira's address to his father.
Soon Mr. Rohmat was taken to the inpatient room. Arman chose a VIP class for his father. To make his father feel comfortable. With his position as a marketing manager whose income has reached double digits, of course he is very able to pay for his father's care.
After all, Mr. Rohmat, is a person who is quite. He has a long-running furniture business. Although not rich. But Mr. Rohmat's economy is above average.
" Mister Ma'am. Arman went home first. Arman will bring the father's clothes and the mother's clothes, and Arman will buy the mother a meal as well. Arman won't be long" Arman said.
" well man. be careful" said Ms. Mona. While the father just nodded.
" Sir why you arrived to tell Arman to marry the girl we just knew. Didn't you know that Arman has been in love with Raisya for two years" asked Mona
" Mommy, do you know. Who you follow until you get an accident like this. Raisya Ma'am. I saw Raisya holding a man of my father's age with affection. Raisya's father died two years ago according to Arman's story. The man Raisya was holding seemed to be rich ma'am." Mr. Rohmat's words surprised Ms. Mona.
" You can't tell Arman without proof ma'am. Arman will not be easy to believe.I will know Arman slave love Raisya. His eyes and ears will be closed if we talk about Raisya's ugliness. Until now he has not dared to marry Raisya because he still has respect and affection for us. Because he knows if we don't like Raisya too much" said Mr. Rohmat.
Ms. Mona could only be silent and dissolve in her mind. Actually half of his heart would not be willing if Arman married Zahira. But another corner of his heart thinks that Zahira is much better than Raisya.

Zahira parked his bike in the market parking lot . He'll shop at Bu Rima's request. It's still 14:00 and there's still time for him because his working hours start at 16:00.
Finished shopping Zahira felt her stomach hungry. He remembered that he had not had lunch. Lekas put his feet towards his subscription meatball stall.
Once at the stall when going to order. mang min meatball owner already said first "one big bowl of meatballs with yellow noodles kan neng and drink iced orange cold"
Zahira laughed at hearing that. It turns out that mang min hapal with his favorite menu.
" Why did you memorize the order Zahira?" ask Zahira when mang min brought her order.
" Yes clearly memorized Atuh neng. Eneng is a subscription here, after all, a very beautiful neng face is easy to remember "canda mang min.
Zahira just laughed at hearing that. Immediately at the meatball meal in front of him. After the meat runs out, Zahira sipped her orange ice. Suddenly he remembered the incident. How could Mr. Rohmat arrive to have the idea to marry Zahira to his son.
Ah maybe Mr. Rohmat is just joking. Remembering Arman's face. A handsome face with a classy appearance was very inversely proportional to him.
And it is clear that Arman objected to the wishes of his father.

A month has been that event. Zahira forgot about it. He was following the routine as usual. College and work. Sometimes he plays with children in the home. He feels very fun when playing with the little children they laugh and joke as if there is no burden even though here they are without parents. But they have each other to share affection with.
Like now Zahira is cool playing hide and seek and pursue with his little sister's sister.
" Za is looking for you" Vivi said as she approached Zahira. " Hurry and meet. Miss Rima has met them. Let me accompany the play of this super active child" said Vivi.
" Vi who's looking for me. It's only been happening all the time I've been living here." I don't know why Zahira's heart is uncomfortable.
" I don't know za. I didn't have time to look into Rima's mom's room. I was in our room and Miss Rima came looking for you. Been quick there so you don't keep curious" Vivi said again. He was ready to join playing with his little sister.
Zahira steps her legs reluctantly towards Rima's room. When he entered the room of Miss Rima whose door was open. He was surprised not to play to see who was in front of him.
