The Queen paced back and forth from her room to the family room. He continued to look at Mother and Father who were still sitting relaxed together while watching television in the family room.
Mother was confused to see the Queen's attitude that looked agitated. Mother also called the Queen and invited the Queen to sit with her.
However, Queen refused on the grounds that she was exercising on foot from room to family room. Mother had to feel surprised, because before the Queen had never been like that.
"Is he still agitated and traumatized by what happened yesterday?" Ask Mommy.
Dad turned to Queen and looked at the girl who looked wrong.
"Maybe Bun, I'll ask him to speak with four eyes" he said.
"But, Dad told me about everything the Queen talked about. I love the secrets of Mother." Complain Mother.
Dad laughed and kissed Mother's cheek.
"Yes. his name is confided, the time of yes Dad leaked. Secret dong," said Father teasing Mother.
"Here he is," Mother patted Dad's thigh hard.
"Ooh...! Bun Pedes.." Said Dad while frowning and rubbing his thighs that felt spicy because it was patted by Mother.
"Some!" Mother looks upset and sulking.
"Idihi.. if the snack is so, the innate want Daddy uwel-uwel deh..." Tempting Father again.
"Mother is not kidding!"
"Yes, I'm the one who's joking" Andra's father said with a loud laugh.
"Au ah. sebel!" Mommy said as she stomped her feet and went into the room.
Father chuckled at Mother's childish attitude. But even so, he loved it. Although Mother is much older than Father, still Father is more nurturing Mother.
The childish side of Mother is what makes Daddy feel needed, considered older and mature.
Seeing that Mommy is not in the family room anymore, Queen was excited, she went straight to the kitchen to make two cups of coffee for herself and Dad. Then, after that he brought the coffee that he had just made to the veranda of the house.
The Queen went back to the living room and approached Dad.
"Well, the Queen has made some coffee for Dad" Queen said.
I looked at Queen and smiled.
"Why not bring it here?" Ask Dad.
"On the porch alone Well," Queen smiled sweetly with a pleading gaze.
Seeing the Queen like that, Dad immediately understood that his daughter was seducing him to be able to pour out the problems that Queen was facing.
"Ok, alright," Father said as he removed his glasses and headed towards the veranda together with Queen.
On the porch, they sat side by side. Coffee is still visible hot steam arranged on the table with a jar of biscuit favorite Dad.
Father smiled at the way Queen persuaded herself to be a conversation partner.
"What's Dad's son?" Ask Dad without further ado.
Queen smiled, then rubbed her agitated-looking face.
"Dad, Queen wants a story."
"What news? Please story, because you have made coffee for Dad, then Dad will listen to you," said Father.
The Queen smiled all of a sudden, then she looked at Father with sparkling eyes.
"So, well, Queen is close to a man...."
"Hmmm, that guy at the police station?" Ask Dad while looking at Queen.
Queen smiled wrongly, then she lowered her face.
"Yes Dad,"
"Then?"
Dad sighed and grabbed his coffee glass. Dad sipped the hot coffee and put it back on the table.
"He's good overall, but I think Queen is less accepting of her past. He was once honest with Queen, if he had ever done anything wrong, living together in Boston with his girlfriend while in college. Well, when they returned to Indonesia, they were still in touch. Suddenly he knew his girlfriend was cheating. Then, they broke up and her lover immediately married her affair. It's just that his ex-lover only realized when his son was sick. Turns out, the man her ex-lover married wasn't the real father of the boy." Bright Queen.
"Then?" Ask the father who keeps listening to Queen.
"Yes, suddenly her ex-boyfriend came and told her the truth. Raka was shocked, there was a sense of disbelief. It's just that his girlfriend feels he is only related to two men. It's definitely Raka who is the real father of the child" Queen explained.
Father let out a long sigh and nodded understanding of Queen's matter.
"Well, that makes Queen worried, does Queen stay away from him or does Queen just accept his past Well? What do you think?" Ask Queen.
"He's good?" Ask Dad.
The queen nodded quickly.
"If he's good, what's wrong?" Ask Dad.
Queen frowned and looked at Father closely.
"Queen slightly did not accept the existence of the child. Yes, indeed Queen has not met him. He is now lying in the hospital. It's just, there's a sense of disappointment...." Queen's words bluntly.
"After he knew it was his son, did he deny it or take responsibility?" Ask Dad.
"He went straight to the boy and admitted it Well,"
"That's a sign of a gentleman, not a coward and a liar."
Queen was surprised by Dad's words.
"I mean Dad?" Queen asked curiously.
"From there we can see, he is always responsible for everything he does. He won't waste his wife and children if he has a family."
"Slightly an example of why Dad said he was gentlemanly and responsible. He immediately admitted, because he felt he had done. He went straight to his son without any drama first. He's a nice guy and not many guys can be like that."
"The past, everyone has a past. Wanted it dark, bitter, clean and dirty. The past of life where we did not know the person. It happened, yes it has. The most important thing is how he is right now."
Queen was silent, suddenly she felt selfish for leaving Raka at the restaurant this afternoon.
Queen begins to remember her origin and the mother's past. Suddenly he felt his fate was the same as Jonathan's. It's just, Jonathan is lucky to have Raka. While he was rejected by Gunawan's father for years, before their relationship improved.
Raka's past is no different from Mother's, they both have children out of wedlock. Queen looked at Father and saw the sincerity of the man sitting next to her.
"Well, how can you accept Mother's past?" Queen asked with the end of a choked voice.
Dad looked at Queen, then he smiled.
"The past is a journey for man. Without the past, we cannot get to the present."
"Father chose and accepted Mother, because Father loves Mother. I love you and Athar. The most important thing is, the purpose of life and who wants to be brought to live together. When his heart is good, no matter how bad his past is, he is still a good person. Don't judge a book by its cover."
"Read first, understand, just draw the conclusion." Keep Dad again.
Queen looked at Father with a beautiful face.
"According to Dad, how's Mother?" Ask the Queen again.
"Mother is Angel." Saying with a smile.
Queen was moved, she hugged Dad tightly. Father smiled and rubbed Queen's hair affectionately.
While from behind the wall between the veranda and the living room, Mother cried, hearing the confession of Father who was so wise and sincere in love with her.
She smiled and stepped back into her room. He really felt lucky to have Andra's father who met him when he already had 2 children, from different men.
Mother also felt lucky to be reunited with Andra's father. A sincere man with his two children. A patient and mature man, though much younger than him. A man who has an amazing and great heart.
That night, Mother's love for Dad deepened. Mother respected her husband more. Mother increasingly wants to live together until death separates the two of them.
"God, O Allah, you have given me a wonderful companion. You have given me the most beautiful gift after you have given me the trials of life that I am capable of passing through. Alhamdulillahot... Thank goodness..." Mumam Mother.
"A woman will be queen when she's with the right man."
