Still Wishing He Back?
46. Proximity Moment

"the arka? Who's she?" Septian, who did not understand the chatter of his son with Airin, was confused when he heard the name he had just heard. He looked at the two with a look for an explanation.

In addition to Rendi and Airin, stopping their chatter and turning to look towards Septian, Papa Rendi who asked around Arka.

"Kok you guys shut up? Who is Arka? Why are you two so worried about him?" Septian asked once again with a curious expression.

"He's.."

"Because Arka is my son, om." Said Airin who finally replied to Septian's question and cut off Rendi's speech about Arka.

The expression was quite surprised to be shown by Papa Rendi when Airin told the truth of himself who already had a child.

"Lho, you have a child? Um just found out?" Said papa Rendi with a surprised expression.

"Yes, um." Answer Airin.

"How old is he now?" Ask again.

"Five years."

"Well, it's big too!" Again Septian was amazed, because Airin had a grown child.

"Yes." Yeah." With an awkward smile, Airin still answered the question asked by Papa Rendi.

"Well, I really didn't think you had kids. Time goes by pretty fast, huh?" Said papa Rendi who felt time passed so quickly when he saw the big change of Airin.

"Yes, um. It's been a long time since we've seen each other again." Reply Airin.

"You're right, we haven't seen each other in a long time. If it's not wrong we last saw that on graduation day, huh?"

"Yes, um, on graduation day."

There was a warm smile reunited between Airin and papa Rendi, the three of them giving off a soothing atmosphere amidst the awkwardness of those who were reunited.

"By the way about children, hopefully Rendi can catch up with you soon, yes!." Said papa Rendi trying to glance at her son who was standing right beside her.

Both Rendi and Airin gave each other a confused reaction by looking at each other at the Septian utterance.

"Then you get married and have children, that is.." Connect papa Rendi.

Hearing that remark, suddenly the atmosphere was suddenly silent, with Airin smiling awkwardly and Rendi being uncomfortable with Airin.

"Why start again, why are you talking about it here, anyway?" Rendi's protest was a little uncomfortable with her papa's speech.

"Don't you talk what it is, look at your age now? You're not young anymore and you should be married and have a child like Airin!" Papa Rendi chimed in on his son's words with a slight offence to Airin.

Hearing that, made Airin speechless, while Rendi immediately looked at Airin with an expression that felt bad and also quite awkward with an uncomfortable atmosphere because of the curse of his papa.

"Papa have seen the condition of Airin, now we better go out, so that Airin can rest well." Said Rendi who wanted her papa to leave the room Airin immediately.

"You are right too, Airin om said yes. May you recover soon, and go home soon." Papa Rendi seemed to agree on the words of the child and agreed to the invitation.

"Thank you for visiting Airin." Reply Airin by showing a faint smile.

Papa Rendi's question again makes the atmosphere uncomfortable, especially on Airin and Rendi itself. Rendi, who was again shocked at her papa's words, could only endure her awkward and uncomfortable feelings for Airin. His expression implied a feeling of unease and hoped to immediately get his papa to come out.

"Lho, there's Rendi's son anyway." Bi Rahma who just entered the room stopped the uncomfortable atmosphere. Making the three of them look together towards bi Rahma who just came.

"Yes, bi. I went to visit Airin again. But, I'm not alone, I came with my papa." Said Rendi felt a little relieved when he saw the arrival of bi Rahma. He also did not forget to answer questions from bi Rahma by introducing his father as well.

"Oh so, thank you for coming. I feel bothered like this." Said bi Rahma who felt touched by the arrival of papa Rendi, although actually he was also a little surprised by his presence visiting Airin.

"I don't feel bothered at all. It just so happened that Airin was being treated at this hospital, so I took the time to visit him. Moreover, Airin is a friend of my son." Said papa Rendi who did not feel bothered.

"Thank God, because I'm afraid to bother you who are busy, but I'm happy with you coming to visit Airin." Said bi Rahma feeling grateful.

"Where did the aunt come out of?" Ask Rendi on bi Rahma.

"Oh, I just met the doctor who treated Airin." Reply bi Rahma.

"Is this because Airin wants to go home soon?"

"Yes, because Airin was so worried about Arka."

"Can't Arka just be brought here, bi? You see, if you see the face and condition of Airin now, it seems that his condition is still not good completely. I'm afraid he'll drop." Said Rendi who gave a little advice, because a little worried about the condition of Airin.

Bi Rahma turned her head towards Airin, asking for an opinion from him. Airin who was also face to face with her aunt looked silent, because she was still quite confused.

"Although it is not good to take a small child to the hospital, but if the child is not there to guard the house, it may be better to take it, although that is not good advice either." This time papa Rendi chimed in.

"Thank you for your advice to Rendi and to the doctor as well, maybe I'll consider it again later with Airin." Bi Rahma gave her opinion on the advice of Rendi and her father who is a doctor.

"Yes bi, Rendi understands. The important thing is that Airin and Arka don't have any trouble later." Reply Rendi who did not force himself.

"Thank you for Rendi." Said bi Rahma who felt grateful for the kindness of Rendi who worried about the condition of her nephew.

....

After a short but warm chat, Rendi and her father finally left Airin's room.

"Have you met Airin's son?" Papa Rendi asked on their way back from Airin's room.

"Yes, a few times." Answer Rendi.

"Why didn't you ever tell papa about this? You've only ever told me about you meeting Airin again."

"That's not very important, why does Rendi talk about this as papa?" Rendi felt no need to talk about this to her papa.

"It's important, for papa who hopes you can be close to him, this is very important." Papa Rendi's words made Rendi speechless.

"Mending we talk about something else." Said Rendi who tried to divert the conversation.

"It's a pity, but papa likes Airin." Said papa Rendi who looks like Airin and a little regretful of him who can not make it part of his family.

Rendi who heard it could only be silent, and was seen thinking of something.
