It was hard for Ardian to explain. It turned out that Dahlia knew her feelings for Miss all this time. What misses that story? His breathing was long and heavy.
It seems like Dahlia understands the real situation. "You still love Miss, right? Don't be confused, my mom has known for a long time. Since I left Indonesia eight years ago. Miss the story if you reveal feelings. It's just that things can't be changed."
The man fell silent, he nodded weakly. "Always, Mom. Ardi never forgot about Missing. He is the first and last love." His gaze was straight forward.
"You want to marry me, mama's son?" dahlia asked suddenly, making Ardian turn his head.
"Very, that's Ardi's only hope, Ma." His voice sounded trembling, the man held back.
"Hahh .. You have to be patient, Ardi. Longing is still in a difficult state to arrange his heart," said Dahlia stroked Ardian's arm.
The man nodded. "Of course Ardi will be patient, Ma. It's just that Missing always dodges. What reason? Did Miss really not love me anymore?"
"Still Ardi. Mama can see it from her eyes. Mama sure, miss still have feelings for you. Maybe he's still hard to say. Be patient, when the time comes, longing will tell you why."
A mother's instincts are the best in judging her children. However, Dahlia knew what Missing felt. It was just that all this time he had been silent, more giving up all the paths that Miss chose by herself. He just needs to be an advisor and encouragement to the kids.
"Yes, Ma. Ardi will definitely wait."
That afternoon Ardian said goodbye to go home. Then he came back to fulfill his promise to Miss. He'll take you to the radio station he bought for Miss. Missing looks excited, as well as Kanaya who participated.
Longing seemed hesitant to leave, especially by bringing Kanaya. He was still worried about the news that led to him. What if Kanaya's whereabouts are finally exposed. Then Bagas, would her ex-husband not do something if he knew?
However, after Aridian convinced herself, Miss finally agreed. The media crew won't interfere, he's already ordered some people to stand guard. So the words of Ardian make Miss believe. Everything will be fine, hopefully.
"Drug Oma ….!"
"Dadah Naya .. don't be naughty!"
Kanaya waved from inside the car. Dahlia waved back and smiled. The little girl seemed happy to be taken out on a walk. The miss that holds Kanaya closed the car glass window. Seeing Kanaya excitedly, she was also very happy. Ardian nods at Dahlia and smiles farewell, then runs his car.
The streets that afternoon looked crowded. Ardian was driving at a moderate speed. Occasionally glancing to the side, seeing her two favorite women chatting. Kanaya chattered, asking about many things that were on the streets. I don't get tired of answering anything Kanaya asks. Missing motherly attitude, meek, attentive, makes Ardian increasingly want a family.
A few minutes later, the car entered the courtyard of a fairly spacious five-story building. A private radio station that is quite popular with FM enthusiasts. This is the second time I miss this place. First it was when he won the radio karaoke race and now it's with Ardian.
There have been many changes to this place. It used to be only a two-story building and one that was not so big. There is now a five-story building connected to the old one. The signal tower also seemed to be getting higher. Ardian has made a lot of changes, and it looks like the station is getting better in Ardian's hands.
"Come, get off." Take Ardian.
Miss is now standing in front of the True FM building. His favorite radio station in High School time. Longing to look up at the top of the building, he looked amazed.
"Here, Naya's carrying the same father." Ardian reached out to Kanaya, Missing moved.
"Yuk." Ardian suddenly grabbed Miss's hand inviting her in. The woman flinched, her face flushed red.
When they arrived on the third floor, the manager in charge approached them. After Ardian introduced Miss, they were invited to the studio. Ardian said that the studio was where the 'Love binds the soul' event was broadcast.
The show will start in fifteen minutes, at exactly seven in the evening. The female announcer is in the studio. Missing very happy, the announcer of the show also came to greet him before entering the studio. The show was very much a fan, and Missing was the inspiration and story idea that Ardian made. The adulation made Miss feel as a very lucky woman.
"Why? You feel so happy now? This show I'm preparing just for you, miss. Judging from your face, I'm sure, you like it a lot." Brisks Ardian while recording leaving the studio.
Miss's face was red. "What the hell?"
Shy reaction Missing makes Ardian a little anxious. Of course, special treatment like this, is a joy for a woman. Why should Ardian defend it?
The announcer asked Miss and Ardian to fill out the show. As a source of inspiration, it would be great if Miss can join the broadcast tonight. However, Longing to refuse, feeling less confident. One other reason, he was unwilling until his presence made a scene. Ardian can understand that.
They are now in the break room. Ardian invited Rindu and Kanaya to dinner while hearing the broadcast. A lot of food was served on the table. They eat like a happy little family.
Kanaya has fallen asleep deep in the lap of Miss. He gently rubbed the girl's cheeks while smiling. Today was so special for him, and all that was thanks to Ardian. Missed to say something.
"Ary."
"Emm?" Ardian who was focused on driving, muttered.
Miss tilted her face, looking at Ardian straight. "Thank you."
"For what?" Ardian lyrics for a moment.
"For the way you have remembered me all this time" replied Miss Lirih.
Ardian pulled both sides of his lips. "Do you know the point of the show?"
"Yes, I heard it on the first episode. True love, isn't it?"
Ardian nodded small. "Well, but not just that. I try to convey a message, if it is too late to realize love in a person, then the choice is only two. Waiting and forgetting. And I—"
"Chose to wait." Cut Miss.
"You're right."
"That's why I thank you. You are willing to wait this long. After we separated that time, I just lived my life, set the future, achieved my goals. We're on our own paths, I don't think we can go back in this state. I never regret, life will go on, right? So if you feel sorry for your choice, because now I'm—"
"Rin …." Ardian stopped Missing's speech, then pulled the car over. "I won't change my mind, I won't regret it. So never try to make me give up on convincing you. I will keep fighting, make you believe that you are worthy of my happiness." Ardian emphasized his words. She knew Miss would say something that hurt her heart again, and Ardian couldn't take it.
Longs speechless. His words had angered Ardian. I miss feeling guilty.
