My Talak, Mas

"Dinda, I'm sure Arka won't be able to accept that she has two fathers, so you should cut off your relationship with Pandu" Rehan told Dinda.
"What does it have to do with you Mas, I never bother you at all, but why do you take care of my business, whether or not you are, me and Mas Pandu will stay together, and the happiness of Arka, Arka, you don't have to worry, she will still be happy with me even though I am married to Mas Pandu" exclaimed Dinda who balked at Rehan's request.
"I don't believe it's Dinda, I don't believe if you can really love Arka, I'm sure your love for Arka will be split in two, if you continue your relationship with Pandu, I'm sure, you'd better leave Arka to me." Rehan insisted.
Dinda shook her head, at that moment she was completely unexpected with Rehan's mind, she could not believe that Rehan would think that short of her. Dinda balked when Rehan would take Arka, because Rehan had never visited Arka and had never tried to get close to her.
However, now that Rehan suddenly comes to acknowledge Arka as his son, he stands firmly claiming to be his father who is responsible for the happiness of his son.
"Before I lose control, you'd better get out of here, I will never let go of Arka for you and will not release Mas Pandu just for your unreasonable reasons, you better find your own happiness and get out of here!" tell Dinda harshly.
"Dinda, I'm serious, I'll ruin your happiness if you don't share your affection with Arka, and if you can't take care of Arka, you better give it to me, because I can take care of it," Rehan said no less seriously looking at Dinda.
"You should be ashamed of your own words Mas, you are ashamed because you have never existed for Arka. And now? Now that you're a hero to my son, what's wrong with your heart, what's wrong with you, do you realize that you've been a father all along?" Dinda shook her head for the umpteenth time, because Rehan's attitude really made her unable to think logically.
Dinda decides to go into the salon and leave Rehan alone, as he would be completely out of patience if he kept talking to Rehan back then. And the departure of Dinda also makes Rehan very angry and upset, because Dinda just looks stubborn and reluctant to listen to him.
As Rehan exits the main door, Rehan meets Pandu who is carrying a rice box, they stare at each other. And Rehan's gaze was as if he wanted to swallow Pandu, who at that time was confused by Rehan's attitude. Rehan left just like that and made Pandu shake his head while staring at the ex-husband of his lover.
When he met Dinda, Pandu then reacted, he questioned Rehan's presence at Dinda's salon in Wulan, who was sitting with Dinda. Pandu also heard all the stories from Dinda who with bated breath spoke to Pandu.
"What the hell Rehan, why does he mix up all the problems, then what does my relationship have to do with Arka's happiness?" tanya Pandu did not understand.
"I'm sorry, maybe it's my fault, I sent you two last night's engagement vidio to Intan, and maybe Rehan accidentally saw it. That's why Rehan came here and tried to disturb your happiness with something like this" said Wulan felt guilty.
"Yes but what does Wulan have to do, has nothing to do with it at all. Arka's happiness seems to increase when there is Pandu, who he calls papa, so why would he take Arka from me when I will marry Pandu, who he is!" angry Dinda did not accept.

A few weeks later, as Dinda's business grew. Busyness was increasingly visible, when Arka was already busy with his school affairs, Rehan tried to take advantage of the moment of meeting with Arka at school.
Although he was previously forbidden by Isna's mother who did not get permission from Dinda, Rehan continued to plead until Isna's mother fell and finally allowed Rehan to meet with Arka.
At that time, Isna came to Arka, and told her that her father wanted to meet her, before Arka hesitated about the notice, but finally he stepped foot to meet Rehan in the school garden.
Arka's footsteps were realized by Rehan who immediately threw a smile welcoming Arka's arrival, Rehan invited Arka to sit next to him by giving toys and chocolate to Arka.
"Arka, these are toys and food for you, thank you," Rehan said, throwing a smile.
"What do you really mean, why are you giving me food and gifts like this?" arka land with its plain tone.
"Arka, this is a small gift that you can give, all this time Dad can not meet you because Mom and Dad have separated, Dad has been separated, so because now I know where you live and school, so I will often play here" Rehan said smilingly.
"Are you really my father? But why did you just come now," said Arka still wondering.
"Of course it's true, I'm your father, we haven't seen each other for a very long time because between your father and mother there's no longer one home, that's why I couldn't see you all this time, and as I told you earlier, because now I know where you live and where your school is, so Dad will come here to see you often." explained Rehan stroked softly the head of Arka.
Arka joined in with a small smile, as she tried to accept the presence of her new father, after the presence of papa Pandu. Arka is happy because at this time Rehan looks so sincerely love him, especially Rehan looks so trying in showing his affection for Arka.
Until almost every day, Rehan always took time to play with Arka in the school garden. And because every day meet with Rehan, finally Miss Isna was finally able to judge that Rehan is a good man and not dangerous to Arka.
One day, Intan follows Rehan's departure, which focuses on Arka, when he is furious when he finds out that Rehan is joking with a child in the school garden, and he believed that it was Arka. Intan is wrathful, and he returns home with unbearable anger, waiting until Rehan returns to discuss his relationship with Rehan which is no longer tenable.
