A Mistake

A Day with Papa

After saying goodbye to his employees, Dira with a bright face looks so happy stepping towards his papa car. While focusing on driving, Pras glanced at his daughter who looked so happy beside him. Pras feels his daughter is so cute today.

'Seeing you this happy, has papa conveyed Mr. Sasongko's proposal to you dear...?' he murmured in the heart.

"Father, we park under that mango tree..."

Pras nodded and parked his car under the mango tree that was pointed at by Dira earlier. From far away, Pak Karta seemed to be in a hurry to visit Pras and Dira.

"Assalamu'alaikum Mr. Pras, how are you? It seems like I haven't been here in a long time...This is the lunchtime tumben.." said Pak Karta.

"Wa'alaikum...Good news sir...This is because I suddenly wanted to come here with my daughter...Oya, where's Mr Wira?"

"Ooo...The hero has a job, sir...Uh, this isn't the one that passed out last week at Bu Dewi's grave right?" suddenly Karta.

"Eh yes sir." replied Dira lirih.

"Butiii.not this neng his daughter Bu Ina and Pak Tio at that time" said Karta astonished. While Dira just smiled awkwardly meaningfully.

"Fainting? Ms Ina and Mr Tio? Who're they? I don't know anything about Dira..."

"The story is long papa.later Dira told while eating lunch, now we go to the grave of mama first yes..." Dira tried to divert the conversation. His brain turned around to be able to retell the events of the night, without telling him about something that happened between him and Hans.

"Okay, papa wait for your explanation baby.now we go to mama's grave first..."

Dira nodded.Then with in between by Karta, they immediately went to the tomb of the Goddess. Arriving at the tomb, Pras immediately entered and sat cross-legged in front of his wife's grave.

"Assalamu'alaikum ma. Papa came with our beautiful daughter ma.papa kangeeen at all same mom. Maafin papa ya ma, karna during mama accompanied papa, papa has never been happy mama, papa can not be a good husband for mama. Papa actually never disappoint mom and dad often hurt my mom..."

Pras bowed before his wife's grave, after saying the words he wanted to say, he began to read the wisdom of do'a-do'a to his late wife. While Dira was very solemn to read do'a-do'a to his mother.

Finished to the tomb, Pras actually invited Dira to go to a favorite restaurant of their small family first.

Two servings of steak, two servings of french fries and two glasses of soursop juice. It was their favorite menu because from a long time ago, this father and son always ordered the same menu.

FLASHBACKS

"What do you want to eat, baby?" ask the goddess about her daughter.

"Papa, eat what ma...?" ask little Dira.

"Papa wants to eat whatever origin chosen by mama.." Pras replied while holding the right hand of the Goddess and looking at the Goddess with a friendly.

"You see, Dira also wants to eat whatever it is from the origin chosen by mama as well..." Dira also took part in holding the left hand of his mother and looked at the Goddess with her brand face, making Pras and Dewi laugh.

FLASHBACK OFF

Dira looked at the menu of their orders that had been presented before them.

"Mama.." he murmured softly which was still heard by Pras. Dira's teary eyes were unable to hide the sadness and longing of her heart to her mother.

"Mama will always be in our hearts and will never be replaced dear...Eat mama must have seen us eating here while remembering her. Didn't we say goodbye to him...?" Pras held Dira's right hand while rubbing gently.

"Eat baby, this is your mama's menu of choice, she will definitely be happy if you see we still eat the menu of her choice. Come eat before it gets cold, don't you still want to eat ice cream, right?"

Dira nodded. Hearing all the words of his papa, made Dira become so eager to devour the dish in front of him. Dira wants to enjoy this day with happiness, he realized.It is possible that moments like this will not be present again in his life.

After eating, they walked to a park with an artificial lake inside. The picture today, is really like the habits of their family since 20 years ago. Since Dira was 2 years to 7 years old.

"You going there?" ask Pras...Dira nodded while smiling happily.

Dira took his papa and swung his papa hand like before. Once their distance with the swing was close, Dira also ran like a child who was impatient to play the swing.

"Dira.ice your cream began to melt, spend first just playing a swing.." cried Pras.

"Papa bribe dong.." cried Dira spoiled.

Pras was silent for a moment, not only the events of today are similar to 15 years ago but the dialogue between them was exactly the same as that time, the last moments of the three of them came to that place. Pras glanced at the park bench next to him...'Akh this is not a dream.this is indeed real, there is no Goddess there with a sweet smile to see the indulgence of our daughter to me...'

"Papa inget mama ya...?" dira asked which surprised his father. Dira deliberately approached quietly when he saw his father dumbly looking at the park bench.

"This ice cream, it's almost liquid." said Pras who was surprised by the sudden presence of Dira was already beside him.

"We sit on that bench yuk pa.papa seems tired..." Dira led his papa to the park bench.

"Does he look old, Dir...? Chasing you the way has been boring, especially later if playing a chase with a grandson yes.." grumbled Pras.

"Aah.papa is not old.50 years is not even yet.." comfort Dira.

"But papa already deserves a grandson.last this year papa 50 years you know...When did you give Dir's grandson papa?"

"Idih papa, marry aja belom already nanyain grandson..."

"Why your relationship with Damar, why some times papa actually saw Damar dropping off and picking up Angel school, when you were sleeping at Sila's house. When you asked your mom, your mom said Damar picked up Angel with your permission, let Angel be more familiar with his sister-in-law, Damar. Is that true?"

Dira was silent.

"Darling why silence? Oya, you also owe papa an explanation of what he said Pak Karta earlier...What's wrong with you? Why did you pass out at your mama's grave, and who are Ina and Tio? Is that Ina, your mom's best friend and Tio's her husband? If so, how do you know them?"

For a moment Dira was still solemn in silence and Dira took a slow breath to calm her heart.

"Darling.papa needs your explanation...."

"Paaa, can't you ask one-on-one? Dira confused to answer which one used to be..."

"Okay, answer them one by one and slowly.Papa will listen to your story patiently, start..."

Dira also began to tell everything, including a piece of the story that night, but of course not all because Dira was not ready if he had to tell the events that occurred between himself and Hans. Pras listened carefully.
