All is Destiny

Chapter 55

In a residence that has always been a comfortable place for the Gunawan family, it looks very simple when viewed from the view of people. But it's always been a very memorable place for that little family.

Everyone was enjoying their dinner. Tia does not seem to talk much today, at the dining table even so, he just kept quiet while listening to the talk of his parents.

After finishing the dinner, Gunawan went to the family room, while Tia and her mother wanted to clean the table and leftovers first.

"Mother" he said slowly.

"What's the matter, honey, why are you looking so glum today?" asked Rita softly with her warm smile.

"Why can't I come with you? I will also miss Mas Diki," said Tia with a face of blemish.

"We won't be long, I'll tell your dads to come here." Rita calms. He did not have the heart to leave his daughter even if only a few days, but somehow Gunawan really forbid Tia to come along.

Tia just sighed, feeling a little annoyed at not being allowed to come along. He no longer bids, he knows that his father will not change his decision.

Get back together and talk in the family room. Tia again only be a good listener, watching television but her ears only focus on hearing the talk of her parents.

"Tia ...." Gunawan made a sound, making Tia straight up and look at him.

"What's dad?" tanyanya's confused.

"Tell Andika to come here tomorrow morning."

"Andika? What's for?" confused about his own father. "And tomorrow you're leaving, did you tell him to take care of the house?" asking again, made the two middle-aged humans laugh.

"Call him, I want to talk to him, tell him that you invited him to breakfast together."

"alright. I want to go to the room first, I want to rest" said Tia while kissing the back of her parents' hands.

"Hem, don't forget father's message!" Gunawan again reminded, making Tia nod slowly and smile at them then walk towards his room.

He patted the pillow a few times, then immediately lay his body on the soft mattress. Tia grabbed her phone that was on the nightstand, her finger was seen playing there. I don't know what he's writing now. After finishing with his phone, he again put the small object on the nightstand.

Slowly Tia closed her eyes, hugging the bolster that always accompanied her to sleep, not how long, had heard a little snoring from the girl, she had fallen asleep into her dreams.

At 02:00 in the morning, Andika just returned to her apartment. Doni who accompanied him home also stayed there because he felt very sleepy.

After Bimo drove him home to the apartment, Doni called and asked him to come to his best friend's night party, because he felt sorry for all the office problems he finally accepted Doni's invitation and went to a Club night.

The alcoholic drink made his consciousness reduced, Doni did not allow his best friend to go home alone for fear of what would happen, so he chose to go home together and stay at Andika's apartment.

The cold air in the morning still felt in the body of Tia, while out there the sun was brightly shining on the earth. Tia stretched her muscles that felt stiff because she slept too long. Vaporized several times while continuing to collect breath.

He was sitting on the edge of the bed, staring at his phone on the nightstand and grabbing the flat object.

Why didn't he return my message? Inner Tia.

His face was already glum in the morning, he put the little thing back down and passed towards the bathroom. Because it's a weekend now, he doesn't shower as early as usual, just wash his face and then brush his teeth. When he finished he came out of his room to see his parents.

"Have you told Andika?" tanya Gunawan arrived, making Tia a step up and immediately held her chest.

"Where's Andika, she's coming, right?" he asked while walking towards the sofa.

"He didn't return my message, maybe he was busy" explained Tia, making Gunawan look a little disappointed and no longer ask.

Breakfast was ready at the table, Rita approached her husband and son to invite breakfast before they were terminal. At the dining table, no one was involved in the conversation, Tia only occasionally glanced at her parents, hoping that the middle-aged man before her changed his mind and allowed her to come visit.

Everyone was focused on the food in front of him. Tia paused for a moment when she heard the sound of a horn coming from her yard. Gunawan's lip line was immediately visible, like he already knew who was coming.

"Let me see," said Tia preventing her mother, and she immediately left the middle-aged man.

"Darling, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry." Andika was already standing on the floor of the house, a regretful look was very visible on her face.

"Come in, I've been waiting" said Tia smiling, Andika nodded and followed the girl's footsteps before her.

Gunawan immediately fell very bright when he saw that what came was really Andika. He even told Andika to sit near his chair.

This father why the hell? Why is his attitude so different now. Tia asked inwardly, asking for an answer from herself.

After Andika sat down, all back to enjoy her breakfast, only Gunawan and Andika were involved in the conversation.

Turns out dad asked us to drop him off at the terminal. Huuu, why don't you invite us anyway, let it be delicious. Inner Tia, he already understood the intention of his father inviting Andika in the morning.

The meal activity is over. Andika directly helped Gunawan to put their clothes bag into the trunk of the car. While Tia, she continues to stick in her mother's arms, making Rita feel guilty for leaving her own child.

The car has left Gunawan's residence. Splitting the city streets, weekends make the streets look crowded by vehicles that continue to pass.

"Nrt ...." Gunawan broke the silence.

"What's dad?" asked Andika, glanced at the rearview and then looked back to the front.

"You really already think of me like your own father, yes" added Gunawan smiling but sounding very serious.

"Of course." Andika answered no less seriously than the middle-aged man behind her. While Rita and Tia just laughed at the chatter of the two men.

"Do you really love my daughter?" gunawan asked, but stared fixedly at Tia.

Andika again glanced at the rearview mirror to see Gunawan's facial expression, looking very serious, and waiting for a response. Andika took a breath before answering.

Why would the father-in-law ask that? His attitude looks different today, even he asked me to joke. Inner Andica.

"Nrt ...."

Hearing her name being mentioned again, Andika immediately regained her senses from her mind.

"Ah, sorry dad, I'm daydreaming ya." Laughing alone made Gunawan shake his head several times. "Dad, I really love your daughter, I will love her until my last breath, and will keep her glaring at myself." Speaking decisively, there was no sound of joking at all. He glanced at Tia who was also looking at him.

"Alright, don't disappoint dad. We're tipping Tia away while we're gone, please take care and protect her." Sounding bitter but he immediately covered with a bright smile that was again shown.

"Dad, I'm not an item to be tipped," Tia said. Make her parents and Andika laugh.
