Heart Words.
Chapter 25

Arif wrote a keel statement that he wrote suddenly on the floor of the terrace. Although written manually, but the contents of the statement letter is very detailed and professional. Arif even gave the stamp and asked Rudi to document the repayment of his family's debt, so that in the future there is no gap for Miss Dewi to interfere anymore.

That afternoon was really thrilling. That was Kana's first time of wrath and anger. Rudi has to fight. Mother and father also puffy eyes because of crying and unable to fight Bu Dewi.

Rudi knocked on the door of his own room and pushed the door until it fit his head to look in.

"Can I come in, Mas?" ask Rudi.

"Just enter, this is your room, Rud, no need to hesitate so." said Arif while tidying up the contents of his bag.

Rudi entered with hesitation and reluctance. For the first time, he felt so safe. Like having an older brother who is able to protect the family from anything.

"Mas Arif can't stay another day?" ask Rudi.

"The desire is up to a week. But my cut time is only three days. Next time I'll take a long leave." said Arif.

Rudi nodded. It was obvious that the young man had become awkward.

"Hey, what do you want to say? Just say it, don't be so condescending." said Arif as he patted Rudi on the shoulder.

"Sorry."

"I'm sorry? Sorry for?" Arif doesn't understand.

"I'm sorry, because since Mas Arif came, I always ketus and do not believe in Mas Arif and even mengebiarin Mas Arif almost nginep in the inn yesterday" said Rudi regretfully.

Arif sighed, he smiled understandingly.

"If I were you, maybe I would do the same. I understand what you're doing just because you care about Kana."

Rudi nodded.

"Thank you for what Mas Arif did for our family. Honestly, actually, I'm pretty worried we won't be able to pay off our debt to Miss Dewi, poor people like us it's almost impossible to pay off that debt despite working day and night."

"Tell me, what are you going to do to pay off your debt to her?"

"Hemmm, I was thinking of selling a kidney. Really am. I went to find out to my friends, where if people usually sell their organs" said Rudi with a very serious expression.

Arif sighed, then asked Rudi to sit next to him.

"Selling your kidneys isn't the way out, Rud. You'll create new problems later."

"Yes I know, but at least the loan shark's business is done."

Arif patted Rudi on the shoulder. Amplifies.

"If I may know, how did you get involved with him?"

Rudi tells how the former Lady Dewi and their families had been on good terms. Ms. Dewi is even very good to her, and often praises their parents for successfully educating her children as individuals who are not spoiled and willing to work.

Then one time, Miss Dewi offered Rudi to go to college, because she saw the potential of Rudi who was smart enough in school, dear if not continue education, because she saw the potential of Rudi, at that time, Rudi worked in a restaurant as a waitress. But Bu Dewi still encouraged Rudi's parents to let Rudi go to college with all kinds of persuasiveness. With a wooch, he will help.

But in fact he only helped the registration fee to be used as family debt that must be replaced with interest. And worse, Miss Dewi knew that the father was illiterate, so he gave the father a letter of agreement signed by the father, which was, and it turns out that the contents are about the ability of the father to replace the tuition fee of Rudi and his interest to Bu Dewi within a period of one year and three months.

"I will replace the money Mas Arif had, but I need time, I will try to pay it off, even though it will take a long time." promised Rudi in earnest.

Arif smiling. Seeing Rudi's persistence reminded him of Kana. The little girl also had the same persistence. For one thing, Arif agrees with Dewi, their parents have educated Rudi and Kana very well.

Arif embraces Rudi. "You really want to change my money?"

Rudi nodded. "But don't tell mom, you're big brother too. They definitely won't let me work while I'm in college. Brother will definitely take over and instead work desperately. Mom and dad too. I don't want to be the one who doesn't do anything."

Arif shuffled Rudi's hair, inexplicably she felt proud of Rudi's attitude.

"Okay, I'm not gonna tell anyone you want to change my money."

Rudi's smile also expands on his face.

"But I want you to return my money in another way."

"meaning?"

"You have to go to college well, graduate with being the best graduate, raise your family degrees that others underestimate by being successful. I want you to change my money that way. If you replace it with money, I will not accept it until death. Hows it? Able?" asked Arif, he challenged Rudi, he was sure Rudi could.

Rudi's eyes immediately glazed over, he never thought of feeling this way, the feeling of having a sister who could become a place to lean. He wanted to answer, but his voice stuck to the end of his throat. His cry would break if he made a sound.

So, Rudi could only nod his head, responding to Arif's request.

Arif patted Rudi on the shoulder and then hugged her, like a sister to his youngest sister.

Without the two men knowing, all their talk was heard and witnessed by Kana silently through the gap of the door. Tears could no longer be held back and escaped flowing down Cana's cheeks.

The doctor... Why is it so good? How should I go to the doctor later? Inner Cana.

***

Later that afternoon, Arif and Kana bid farewell to return to the capital. Mother and Father released them with prayers and tears. Mom even kissed the top of Arif's head just as mom kissed Kana's top. The best prayers of the mother's lips accompany both.

Not only that, I also equip Arif and Kana side dishes that can be stored in the refrigerator later.

"Please take care of your son, son Arif, do not deny our trust yes, son." Father's message was before Arif and Kana left. Arif knows exactly what the father meant.

Their trip back to the city wasn't much of a conversation. Each has a different head. Feelings different from when they came before.

For Arif, a few days of staying at the Kana family home gives an incredible impression. Leaving behind a warm trail that he had long missed. Warmth of a family.

While Kana, her heart began to feel slumped. Feelings of disdain that had been limited between employer and ART, slowly infiltrate a new feeling. A feeling that should not have been created in his heart. A sense that would only make him tormented due to the limitations he had to be aware of.
