Finally, Aretha was able to breathe fresh air again, after previously she could only breathe the typical aroma of the hospital. Yes, that afternoon Aretha was able to return home, after the doctor who handled it at the hospital gave permission.
David is seen pushing Aretha, who is sitting in a wheelchair, into the house. For the sake of being able to drive home the lover, David was willing to put aside his work, even though there were actually two Aretha parents who could do that.
"Darling, can I take you straight to the room?" david asked slightly leaning his face forward.
"It doesn't matter, Mas. Later on, I want to be here first," replied Aretha preferring to stay for a while in the living room.
"All right then." David stopped his steps there, then landed his body on the ash-coloured sofa that was in the room, while Aretha was still sitting in a wheelchair with her legs still being crushed.
"Son David, aunty lives in the kitchen .. It seems like aunty should help bi Wati cook, to welcome the arrival of your mother and papa," said Carmila.
"Mama and papa are coming, Auntie?" ask David.
"Yes, he called" Carmila replied.
"Thank God, I have something to talk about" David said.
"Alright, then aunt to the kitchen first. If you need something, just call" Carmila said as she passed from the place to the kitchen.
David is seen accompanying Aretha in the living room. Anton followed and landed his body on an empty sofa in the room. They seemed to have a light conversation, before David's parents finally came to the house.
Two families appear to have gathered in the room, including Kris, David's father who had just returned from out of town and had just visited Aretha.
"How are you doing, son?" kris asked Aretha.
"Good, Om. Uh, sir," replied Aretha a little awkwardly who immediately got a smile from Kris. I don't know what a more appropriate call for the man who had become his superior, then now even become his future father-in-law.
"Sorry, om just had a chance to visit," said Kris later.
"It's okay, Om," replied Aretha.
After talking about some things that were not so important, they had lunch together in the dining room.
The lunch lasted quite a long time. There is no conversation in the midst of their activities until their activities are over.
After finishing, the two families reunited in the living room. As David said before, there are important things that he wants to convey to his parents and also Aretha's parents. I don't know what it is, Aretha doesn't know it either.
Five eyes were fixed on David. Staring seriously at the man while waiting for what he really wanted to say, before David finally opened his voice.
"Pa, Ma, Om and Aunt, there is something important that I want to say" said David. "Mm .. I and Aretha have agreed to cancel our engagement" he looked a little hesitant.
Of course David's statement surprised them, except Aretha who could immediately understand where the man was talking. However, he also did not expect that David would deliver on his plans that soon.
Ah, Mas David .. at least talk to me if you're going to say that now.
Neither Aretha's parents nor David seemed to round his eyes, feeling shocked. Why was it suddenly canceled, didn't their relationship improve?
"Lho ... Why, son? What exactly happened between you? Yesterday you postponed, now even want to cancel, do you have a problem so severe that you have to make this decision?" a series of questions came out of Kris' mouth that was not very aware of their problems before, because it was too busy taking care of work outside the city.
"Yes. What the hell is it? Is it possible that we have been forcing you too much? Tell us, so that we as parents can better understand your wishes" said Anton, who also felt disbelief. He was a little confused by the sudden decision. While in the hospital, he clearly saw the closeness of David with his daughter.
Aretha who had been watching him seemed to stumble into a smile. However, he did not want to respond, just let David take responsibility for it. While Carmila and Maria seemed to put on a disappointed expression, as did Kris and Anton.
"Want to?" kris asked, raising his eyebrows.
"We are planning to .. get married soon" David replied, leaving them even more shocked. Moreover, Aretha's parents.
"Married?" Anton further rounded his gaze perfectly. "Is that so, son?" tanyanya turned to her daughter, just making sure. Because, he knew that Aretha had a commitment not to marry, before graduating from college.
"I ... actually I'm still confused, Pi, too" replied Aretha hesitatingly.
The atmosphere immediately stiffened, even more so David. How could Aretha's answer be so contrasted with before, thought the man.
"You don't be weird, son. Marriage is not for fun, if you are not ready, don't force it!" anton said advising.
"Lho, dear .. we've talked about this before," David said a little withstanding the frustration.
You are not consistent, but yesterday I said yes.
"You better think about it, son. Om does not want if a hasty marriage, without readiness between the two, even worsen your life later," said Kris.
"Yes, dear ... You think carefully yes .. we will not force if you are not ready. The thing is, it's getting married, not engaged?" carmila said as she gently stroked her daughter's hand, while Maria still had no comment.
Aretha looked up a little. "Yes, I am still a little hesitant, but .. I also have no reason to refuse, Pi, Mi" said Aretha.
"But ... aren't you going to wait to graduate first, and then get married?" ask Anton, reminding me.
"Yes, Papi is right" replied Aretha. "However, is it not good to delay good intentions?" tanyakanya.
"Then you went to college?"
"If David himself would not have disputed that, why should I make it an excuse to refuse?" aretha's repulsive words made David immediately sigh in relief, then mengulum smile, feel happy. Suddenly his heart cheered with joy at Aretha's statement.
"Are you sure, honey?" ask Maria.
"Yes, Aunt. God willing I am sure as sure as possible" said Aretha steady.
It is true that my main intention is just to avoid things that are forbidden by religion to happen between me and David. However, I'm sure going out after marriage will be much more beautiful. I hope this decision is the best. Aamiins.
"Alright, if you are sure, papi bless you. Hope this is the best for you" Anton said.
"Om very happy to hear it," said Kris, smiling knots. "Om sure you won't drop out of school just because you're married to your son" he added.
"Thank you, dear." David published his smile as he stared at Aretha for a moment.
"So, when's the plan?"
