Marrying a Classmate
Ch. 78: A Fact

The world collapsed instantly when Mr. Tirta's ears heard Mr. Tirta's reply. Myria's legs limp suddenly and almost fall if Angkasa does not approach.

Mr. Tirta immediately went down with a panicked face, followed by Daniel behind him. The man approached. “You all right, son? Do we have to go back to the hospital?”

Still in Space's embrace, Myria shook her head slowly.  He could bear as many tears as he could to come out. “No, Dad. I just ...”

“Dad will explain everything later. Now you come in before the worship begins.”

With Friska, Myria immediately went towards the female-only area. The two girls walked in tandem, while Angkasa turned to the other side to pick up the wudu. Prayer soon followed, the three young men worshiped with other worshippers.

After Ba’diyah Magrib, Myria did not immediately leave her shaf. The girl pondered in prayer to the Creator. More and more questions arise filling the head, how the mother can marry the father who is different religion.

Friska beside Myria fell silent. He waited for his best friend while folding his face. The girl tried to understand how disappointed Myria was when she heard Mr. Tirta's statement a few minutes ago.

“Already.” When Myria had rubbed her face, Friska dared to ask and the question was responded with a nod.

“Come,” says Myria in a slow tone. His hand clenched its face, then returned the prayer tool to where it came from.

Two girls of that age came out together. It turns out that in space, Space has been waiting on the steps of the stairs. The man was already wearing shoes and was seen contacting someone. Space immediately turns off the call when seeing the appearance of the wife.

“What do you want to go home?” Not forgetting about Mr. Tirta's offer, but Angkasa deliberately invited Myria home because of worry.  “I talked to Father-in-Law. Don't be forced if you're in shock gini.”

Myria shook her head weakly. He put on his shoes and stood up. “Neventless. Later until home even thought. We just ate, Dad said he wanted to tell a story, right?”

Space according. He believed in Myria completely. The young man was convinced that the wife understood her own capacity in dealing with problems.

The car drove back and stopped at a restaurant. Highlight the lights of the room immediately welcomed the vision of Mr. Tirta and the others as soon as they entered. He chose a table that contained many chairs in order to sit together. Daniel wanted to sit by himself so as not to disturb, but Myria forbade.

“Good food for you. It's gonna be a test soon, right?”

The three young men who were still in uniform nodded in unison. Angkasa was still faithfully sitting beside Myria, while Friska was beside her again. Mr. Tirta did ask Myria to sit next to him and the girl was flanked by her husband and father.

However, no matter what the meal tonight, Myria is so difficult to enjoy. His hands had been busy bribing since earlier, but his tongue turned bitter as if swallowing medicine.

All movements made by Myria are monitored by Space. The guy wants to feed his wife if he can be so concerned.

In the middle of enjoying the food, Mr. Tirta cleared his throat slowly and managed to invite the attention of everyone. The man in the dark blue suit put down the fork for a while, then rubbed Myria's head.

“You have no taste for this food, son? Do you want another message?”

Myria shook her head quickly. He swallowed hard-earned food. “Not, Dad. It's delicious, really. No need to buy another.”

Again, Mr. Tirta smiled. He took a breath for a moment. “Daddy will tell you the reason why I don't believe like you.”

Myria's lips curl. Finally, what has been awaited and disturbing the mind will be answered in a moment. He looked at Mr. Tirta closely, even Angkasa and Friska also listened. The hands of each youngster were so compactly stalled.

“During this time Dad didn't stay here. After a terrible accident, someone helped Dad and helped him get well. My father lived with him in Singapore because his company was there. And during that amnesia, Dad lived their way, including religion.”

Myria spoon was placed neatly on the plate. His appetite suddenly evaporated into the air. “Then, Dad?”

“Many things happen as long as Dad rebuilds memories. Even the man who helped Dad, betrothed Dad to his daughter. Her name, Caroline, Father's wife until now.”

Myria's chest was tight to hear what Mr. Tirta had said. He smothered his mouth with two hands at once. “A–Daddy ..” She also shed tears that were held back. This time, Myria could not hide her sadness.

Space swiftly embraced and rubbed Myria's arm from the side. The guy tried to give peace even though he was both shocked.

“I'm sorry, Dad. I know for a fact that you are disappointed because we have different beliefs and Dad married again. But indeed after the memory returned, Father couldn't possibly divorce her just like that. I really hope you understand.”
