AFTER YOU GO ~Story About Farrel~

SPONGE CAKE

Mr. Subagyo hugged his phone, he was relieved that Farrel did not break his promise. Mr. Subagyo was about to close his eyes but was stopped because he heard a commotion outside more precisely in Fahira's room.

"Take this kid out!" Fahira shouted along with the sound of baby cries echoing. Fahira covered his ears and screamed hysterically.

"What's this?" Mr. Subagyo came to Fahira's room where the door was open.

"I-this Tu-an dede baby is very thirsty, loving milk does not want. I wanted to give it to Miss Fahira to give it to her." A babysitter trembled in fear because of Fahira's attitude, in her hands there was a tiny baby who just kept crying for attention.

"Excuse him Papa! Get rid of him ...!" Fahira did not stop crying while screaming for the baby to be taken away.

Mr. Subagyo looked at his daughter with pity and then looked at his granddaughter without heart. Fahira may experience babyblues, Mr. Subagyo can not blame him. Finally Mr. Subagyo told the babysitter to calm his grandson in another way.

After the baby was taken out of the room, Fahira calmed down. He wiped away the traces of tears still remaining on his cheeks.

Mr. Subagyo approached Fahira and rubbed his head then said, "Papa understands how you feel, Son. Be patient all this will pass quickly, hear the cry of your baby. He needs you he needs his mother."

Fahira's baby cries still sounded faint to the room.

"But I don't need him! He's got shit." Fahira returned.

Mr. Subagyo could not do anything he could only resign and wait for the miracle to come to bring Fahira back cheerful as before. Now the hope is in Farrel, Pak Subagyo is sure that Farrel will return the smile of Fahira who disappeared because of the incident that happened to him.

"Tomorrow, your future husband's family will come here. I hope you can work together."

Fahira swerved towards his father, he did not think his father would put him with a completely unknown person.

"I feel despicable right now, I'm like a cheap woman asking for mercy. I'm sure the man who's getting married to me is only after Papa's treasure. Miris Pa's." Fahira smiled but his eyes shed tears. Right now he really felt he had no self-respect.

He promised inwardly that he would make the person who married him regret his decision. He's gonna get that guy out of his life.

In the morning, Mr. Subagyo's house suddenly crowded with activity. Mr. Subagyo wants to greet the Farrel family perfectly. The servants were busy improving, even from dawn the activity in the kitchen was already crowded. Mr. Subagyo waited on the terrace of his spacious house the arrival of the Farrel family.

Moments later, a white car stopped in front of his house. Mr. Subagyo was sure it was the Farrel family, in haste Mr. Subagyo walked towards the gate only to welcome him when there were already two guards who opened the fence.

Mr. Subagyo smiled warmly as Ahmad smiled and opened his car glass wide.

Mr. Subagyo immediately approached when Uwa and Ahmad descended together.

"Welcome home." Mr. Subagyo shook the hands of Uwa and Ahmad with sumringah.

"Let's go in!" Mr. Subagyo took Uwa and Ahmad into his house immediately.

Upon arrival at home, Uwa and Ahmad were welcome to sit down. Three servants came, each of them carrying a tray of drinks and cakes. Uwa was made awkward and amazed because it turned out that his iron candidate was not an arbitrary person.

"It's too much, sir," Uwa really hesitated. He went to Pak Subagyo's house only brought two sponge cakes along with one robe that he would give to Fahira.

"It's not an exaggeration at all, I'm so glad you finally came here. I'll call my son for a moment." Mr. Subagyo decided to call Fahira himself. Because of the incident last night, Mr. Subagyo was sure it would be difficult to persuade his son.

After the departure of Mr. Subagyo, Uwa whispered to Ahmad. "Mad, our sponge cake is worth nothing compared to these cakes. I'm so ashamed of Mad."

"That's it, ma'am, what matters is that our intentions are good. Whether or not it's a recent affair." Ahmad was sad to see the look on his mother's face that suddenly changed, but this morning his mother was very excited even on the road had several times in and out of the cake shop just to bring the fruit. Now her heart felt sliced to see the mother looking at the sponge cake on the table and occasionally wiping the container to look clean.

Mr. Subagyo knocked on Fahira's room, faintly heard Fahira's voice which allowed him to enter. Subagyo opened the door and found Fahira in front of the mirror and combed his shoulder-length hair. Mr. Subagyo smiled as he walked over to his son.

"Farrel's family's here, we'll meet them, son!"

Fahira looked at his father from the mirror. "I'll do what Papa wants, as long as ... Papa tell them everything about me. Tell them about all my ugliness."

Fahira hopes this way can make the Farrell family retreat and surrender.

Mr. Subagyo smiled full should he rub his daughter's head. Mr. Subagyo felt how his daughter was currently at war with herself. Mr. Subagyo will try to make Fahira happy. That's a father's promise.

Mr. Subagyo led Fahira out of the room, he was very dreaming to take his son on his happy day. It's okay if he does it now it makes Mr. Subagyo a little happy.

As he was going down the stairs, Fahira stopped. He wanted his father to walk first. He didn't want his father to know that he was nervous right now.

Slowly but surely Fahira walked behind his father. He slightly peeked into the living room only to see how many people were coming.

Uwa and Ahmad stood up to welcome Fahira, Uwa hugged Fahira warmly. It made Fahira a little surprised but strangely he really enjoyed the hug. The hug reminded her of the mother who had long left this world.

Fahira smiled awkwardly as the hug slipped off he sat down next to Mr. Subagyo.

"It's nice to meet you, son. Ever since Farrel said he wanted to propose to you, Uwa was eager to meet you and say thank you."

Eh?

Thank me?

Inner Fahira was made to wonder about Uwa's ambiguous speech.

"It is precisely me who is very grateful to Farrel for being willing to marry my daughter." Mr. Subagyo chimed in on Uwa's remarks, while Fahira eventually resigned and did not want to say much. After his father told him everything he was sure Farrel's family would not accept him.

"Maybe it's a mate, sir. Oh yes, I'm Farrel's student more precisely his sister than his mother. This is my son, cousin Farrel. Farrel's parents have been dead since Farrel was a child. So I'm the one who took care of her and raised her."

Pak Subagyo and Fahira are a little surprised by the fact that Farrel is an orphan.
