He's Not The Best

Spoiled On Daddy

Arriving at the hospital, Arkan delivered and accompanied Erlan for a while, while Hanifa was taken to the ER room to be handled by medics. After that she left her son waiting for news from the doctor, until Hanifa was transferred to the usual treatment room.

“You are amazing, Mas Erlan. Patience against him,” said the doctor, smiling in awe at Erlan who was so patient in facing Hanifa.

The doctor suggested that Erlan make one room in the house as a place of care and hire a nurse who can take care and understand how to handle if at any time the girl relapses.

If Erlan wants, the hospital will facilitate some equipment that can be used by renting or buying.

As Erlan and the doctor were talking, Hanifa came to her senses and a nurse informed them.

Erlan came near Hanifa with a child-like smile that was so happy to see her parents coming carrying souvenirs.

“Fuck!” hanifa said in a carefree voice as she extended her hand. Erlan welcomed the outstretched hands of the girl who instantly coiled around her neck even kissing both cheeks longingly.

While the doctor who was already familiar with Arkan and Erlan was chuckling watching him.

“Pak Arkan is right, Mas Erlan. It has been forced to marry Hanifa, because if not married even difficult later if he continues this way,” said the doctor as he walked out leaving Erlan who was still hugging Hanifa, it was more precisely Hanifa who hugged Erlan, as the man only responded blandly.

Meanwhile at home, Arkan's arrival was greeted with consecutive questions from Runa because her husband came alone without Erlan. He wants to say something to the child and what he will say, must be conveyed directly, accompanied by confidence and meekness.

Arkan only answered as necessary when Runa rebuked him, “Maybe he's overtime, dear. There's something he has to do.”

“The work is important, huh? Is he you can count on, he, right, just graduated college?”

“I just want to try and train, he can what not?”

“Oh.”

“What's the matter, anyway?”

“I want to talk about my intentions, want to mate him with Wiwin, Mas.”

Arkan was silent for a moment and thought that Runa would definitely be disappointed if he knew the trouble she had been hiding all along, exposed. Actually all just waiting for time and, he realized about it. It was impossible to hide Erlan's problem for good. His attitude that covers, like a time bomb that can explode at any time.

Marriage is the longest worship and requires struggle. And marriage is not a worship that must be hidden because it is worried about the attitude of riya’ in the hearts of people. Therefore, if someone is married, they should hold a walimah even though simple, as a form of announcement that a young couple together is not an adulterous couple.

However, now Arkan and Erlan decide to hide it, considering that Runa intends to match her son. The two men were worried that Runa would be angry if she found out that Erlan had married a woman named Hanifa.

Runa's astonishment lasted until the next day, when the time for breakfast arrived, Erlan had yet to appear as well. His heart is increasingly worried, because even today Winsi will return to Jogjakarta. If the girl is in her place now, while she knows if she is betrothed, then surely, the girl will not return home and Runa does not want it to happen.

Actually, the intention of Runa match Winsi is, not only because for the sake of security alone but because Erlan considers the right person to accompany, protect and guard her. Moreover, the two children had known each other for a long time.

Runa thought that Winsi would obey his will if Erlan promised something, such as life and work guarantees. All because of how stubborn Winsi who wants to be independent and does not want to burden anyone again until she does not want to get married. Coupled with her trauma, or her unstable self-confidence, made the girl even more reluctant to choose a man as a partner.

“Mas, why hasn't Erlan gone home yet, huh?” runa asked while arranging the food on her husband's plate.

“Where do I know, he's not on the phone?” Arkan asked back.

“Hp is off.”

“Oh,” Arkan said, as he muttered, when he knew where and why Erlan did not come home last night.

“Win, try your phone, let Erlan go home.”

“Ya if your phone can not .. yes, the same phone Wiwin also can not, Mom,” said Winsi while preparing rice to his mouth.

“Masa, anyway. Who knows if you're The phone might have been picked up.” Runa said as she sat down and greeted Jiddan beside her.

“Self mother, Erlan's phone. Here, use hp Wiwin.” Winsi said while giving her phone to Runa.

Runa picked up his son's mobile phone and searched for Erlan's number there, after finding it he called and heard a busy tone indicating Erlan was talking to someone. After several calls until finally Runa took the initiative to stop his desire to say about matchmaking.

All will be free if Erlan does not apply for Provinsi at this time. The girl can refuse and will not go home for various reasons to avoid an arranged marriage. He would not want to be coerced except by threats or asking her to come home for one tragic reason, which was difficult to realize.

After finishing breakfast, Runa was still trying to contact Erlan for the last time, before Westin said goodbye and brought her suitcase, back to Jogjakarta. The girl was going to the airport along with her father's departure for work.

In the end Runa relented as well for not being able to contact Erlan even now her phone is completely inactive. He let go of his son voluntarily, after Winsi said goodbye and kissed the cheek of the kingpin Jiddan, alternately right and left.

While in the car, the father and adopted son were sitting side by side in the back seat. Winsi leaned back spoiledly on Arkan's right shoulder and inhaled the scent of his father's body. This is an opportunity when there is no mother, then she will be spoiled. Unlike when Runa was among them because she was worried if her mother was angry with what she was doing.

For Winsi to be near Arkan is the most pleasant thing, it is enough just a foster father, who can be used as a place to wrestle spoiled in his arms.

It was as if he did not need the existence of another man because Arkan had already filled the void of his heart. The convenience of being on the Arkan side made a certain part of his mind come full. The part that has never filled since she was a child.

Arkan pinched the small nose of Winsi while saying, “Often go home let your mother be happy, do not be too comfortable living there, what is the good of living alone?”

“Who says I'm alone, Dad .. there's a God I also have a friend named Nia, she's so good.”

Winsj's soft and spoiled voice made Hasnu, who was driving their vehicle, only to see the father and adopted son's interaction from the rearview mirror with a faint smile. Their familiarity seemed different when they were both between Runa and Erlan. Of course the two people were very guarding the feelings of the people around him.

Arkan did not know how big he meant to the girl's heart. He only knew that Provinsi was like his own son who needed the full affection of a father. His son was not only Erlan because for him Winsi was the same as his son who had raised his hand even though, he was born not as his own flesh and blood.

Maybe if Arkan is close to Basri then people will be confused who the real father of Winsi really because the closeness is more visible between himself and Arkan. Only the girl knew about her own feelings, but she also did not dirty her heart with different feelings because her feelings for Arkan were purely between a child and a father in general.
