Between Mr. Ustadz's Son Or Office Child
Chapter 12: Suddenly in a hug

Life is not as easy as imagined, because not all things, we expect to become reality. As is the case with what Ara dreams of, always imagining having a whole and perfect family, but the result only remains a dream.

Basically, no marriage will survive, if the content in it terms will be differences. No matter how high the wall of love, if faith is not in line all will be useless and useless.

This is what happened in the family of Ara. Twenty-one years together, not enough for both parents to understand each other. Differences in beliefs, not in line, different vision missions in life, be an excuse, bring the household Mama and Papa on the edge of divorce.

This is the fourth day, Papa has not returned home, the man who always loved Ara chose to stay at Oma and Opa's house. So is the case with Mama, the woman who every time she smiled gave the shade, chose to leave the house and stay at her best friend's house.

Now, Ara is lonely, really has no friends. This was one of the things that Ara had always feared for a long time, but what power, nothing Ara could do, no matter what happened, it was all the absolute choice of Mama and Papa, all Ara could do was try to pretend, alright even though she was destroyed amazingly.

For more than fifteen days, Ara had not met Kenan or Chio. Lying once if he did not miss them, Ara decided to contact Kenan and make sure the man, who apparently could walk even college, had his legs completely healed.

"Lo, where the hell is it, Ra? In WA is not bales, on the phone is also not lifted, I am worried tau." asked Kenan via WhatsApp message, in fact he really misses Ara.

"Sorry Ken, there's a little problem in my family, so yesterday decided to be alone first."

"What's the matter, Ra, Lo if you need a place to confide, I'm always ready twenty-four hours."

"Thank you, Ken, there will come a time when I'll definitely tell you all about the problems I'm facing,"

"Okay, okay, Ra."

The row of messages from Ara, made Kenan breathe a sigh of relief, despite something stuck in his mind. Even so, at least Ara had already given the news and that was more than enough for Kenan.

Too depressed and desperate, making Ara a little difficult to make decisions and think clearly. This afternoon, Ara decided to come to the mosque and calm down there. Because all this time, it became one way, to make Ara breathe a little relieved.

Stupidly, Ara came up with a slightly disrespectful outfit, a short shirt and short jeans, suppose it was very tight bandaging her body, many eyes looking, but who cares, who cares, after all for Ara they could only stare cynically without helping her clear up the matter.

"Pardon me O Allah, if today my clothes are not polite." so Pray after Ara perform Ashar Prayer.

Without a second thought, with teary eyes Ara also came out of the mosque, inexplicably he felt not calm even uncomfortable because of the gaze of some santri towards him.

When Ara was about to step in to leave the courtyard of the Mosque, she accidentally ran into Chio, the man who could always make Ara comfortable and calm just being nearby.

"Fuck,"

The wrinkled face, pale lips, reddened eyes are enough to explain and make Chio understand, if this girl is having a lot of problems.

There was no wind, no rain, no cue and spontaneous, Ara immediately ran closer towards Chio and without a second thought, she immediately hugged this man's body, tightly, tightly, very tight and really tight, it was as if he would never let go of Chio at all.

"Ra, what's wrong with you?"

The more Chio asked, the tighter Ara hugged the body of this man, who finally inevitably, with a little hesitation, Chio gently rubbed Ara's shoulder, he did this, he did this, to make her feel calmer.

"Why?"

"Look, how many pairs of eyes see you embracing my body all of a sudden!"

"Biarin," answered Ara briefly.

With a smile and great care, Chio let go of Ara's very tight and warm embrace.

"You can hug me, but don't be here, let's go!" Chio whispered softly spontaneously making Ara let go of the crib, the girl nodded in agreement and let Chio take her away away from the courtyard of the Mosque.

Chio and Ara slowly stepped up and moved away from the crowd. The sharp highlight of the many pairs of eyes earlier, just explain if this afternoon the two will be a hot topic that the students talk about. Without Chio realizing it, if the father had seen him hugging Ara from the second floor of their house.

"Now, we're alone, cry until you feel more relieved! I won't force you to tell me anything you're having."

Ara shook her head quickly and immediately covered her face with both palms. "I'm sorry, this afternoon must have told me a lot of bad things about you."

"Let's just calm, I can definitely deal with them and I'm sure they understand, too, if you're not okay." Chio reassured when in his little heart there was a little to worry.

This afternoon, as much as possible Chio comforted Ara, reassuring that the world would be fine, encouraging, if any problems could be dealt with. At least Ara came home with a more relieved feeling, Chio is really mature according to him.

Same with Ara who is now on the road to go home. Chio himself had entered his house and was greeted by sharp gazes from Umi and Dad.

"Dad," Chio was suddenly nervous, without any need to be clear, from the look of the eyes alone, Chio could see if Dad was angry with him.

PLAACQUES

One loud slap, landing right on Chio's white cheek even five of Dad's fingers imprinted there. Chio's whole life, this is the second time Dad slapped him, he realized what made him so angry.

"Shameless, you can cuddle with a girl, in the courtyard of the Mosque." Dad's tone was very jarring. Umi tried to calm her husband.

"Sorry, what happened this afternoon was very sudden. I didn't do it on purpose."

"Not intentionally said, huh? Now you've learned to be a liar apparently."

"Well, Ara's in a lot of trouble, I can't bear to let go of her hug just now, she really needs me."

Hearing Chio's words, the anger of the direction became more and more, but the old man chose to leave in front of his son without saying another word.

Chio himself was still frozen in place standing while touching his painful cheek, due to Dad's slap earlier. Chio's feelings right now, it's really hard to explain.
