Darma opens the door for Ara. The girl just kept quiet and complied, and that was enough to make Darma happy. Half-run he circled the car until finally sitting in the seat behind the wheel.
Only when his car entered the protocol road that was still quite crowded, Darma opened his voice, "Why is it so easy for you to say that our relationship is over?"
"Because that's what should happen" Ara replied with a straight forward look.
"Do you know what I said after I took the plane ticket?"
This time Ara turned her head. He stared in disbelief at the man whose focus was on the streets. Darma thought he was as strong as he could hear Oma Ratna talk until it was over?
"Okay, fine." Darma nodded in understanding. "Let me tell you," he continued for a moment staring at Ara with a hard-to-understand look.
That afternoon, just after Darma decided to take the plane ticket addressed to him, he loudly said, "Well, I'm leaving, but that doesn't mean I'm going to leave Ara. Until whenever he'll be my choice, unless he's the one who chooses to leave."
In the place where she was sitting, Ratna's face looked so calm. The old woman could even still review the thin smile. Of course, it did not escape the tail of his eyes that caught Ara's departure from the house of Wirasena, his son, with a face decorated with tears.
"Yes, whatever you say, Dar. Now you pack all the things you want to bring, let Oma help you." Ratna really did not care about what Darma would do because she was sure that after this the girl she did not want would definitely stay away from her grandson first.
"It seems that oma was the only one who realized that you had reached my house at that time, so she used the opportunity to destroy our relationship." Without Ara knowing, Darma's grip on the steering wheel strengthened. It is undeniable, even though the person who has done this to him is gone, but the annoyance has not diminished every time he remembers it.
"I packed up my things, kept having dinner and packed up again. Until finally Oma came home, there I just wanted you. I checked my phone and yeah ...." Darma exhaled a long breath. He confirmed his sitting position to be more relaxed when the car stopped at a red light. "You know what I did after reading that many chats of yours?"
Although a little curious appeared in his heart, but Ara still refused to open her mouth. Be, he just shook his head slowly.
"I went straight to your house. On the street I was like a madman after seeing a birthday cake at a small table in front of the house. I chatted you and sent, but not read. Wh why? I'm sure you weren't asleep at the time." Darma slowed down the speed of the car. The already deserted path made his attention now able to be more focused on Ara.
"I was really stressed when I came home with nothing, and the more stress when I wanted to go to the airport it turned out that my social number had been blocked with you." Darma is putting on her hair in frustration. She knew Ara was destroyed, but didn't she know that she was just as devastated? Or maybe even worse?
"And stupidly I was there, I learned desperately to pass. Let's go see you, but yesterday when we were really reunited you said our relationship was over." Darma laughs. The laughter that somehow sounded painful to Ara.
The girl raised her face, and ventured to look at Darma. Viewing is inevitable. Ara's guilty look and Darma's disappointed eyes met in a straight line.
"Is that how disappointed you are because I chose to take the ticket?" darma asked with reddened eyes. "If so, you should know that I'm much more disappointed, Ra. Why should I choose between you or my family if at the same time I can embrace you?"
In the end, Ara's defense broke down. Her cries in an instant had filled the entire car. Ara cursed in her heart for her selfishness all along.
"As first children we both know how much weight to bear." Again Darma said while turning his face so as not to see Ara's face that had been swollen. Seeing a beloved woman crying is her weakness, and Darma does not want her heart to waver before all her uneg-uneg is expelled because she is also quite disappointed with the attitude Ara took after so many years they did not meet.
"You sacrificed your college opportunity to keep your parents' efforts going. So do I. .. have to sacrifice you for my family, but .. do we really sacrifice that? We just postpone it. In the end, you stay in college. And me, I never really let go of you. I'm just a little loosening the rope between us so that when I'm not around you don't choke when you have to step through another path."
"Four years." With a voice almost swallowed, Ara was finally able to say. If Darma really fought for it, why did the man leave it for a long time? Couldn't the S2 be completed in just two years?
"Why could it be that long if there you say you fought desperately to get back here quickly?" tanya Ara asked for clarity.
"You want to know?" reply Darma doubtful.
"Yes, I want to know everything without anything covered up."
