“This is my wife.” Alarick introduces Sherin who has stood up to greet the two.
“Sherin, this is Mas Rendi, her husband is Risa!” Alarick introduced Rendi to his wife.
“Thank God, Rick. You're already married. I'm glad you got on with your life right,” said Rendi shortly after they sat down together.
Alarick was silent. Maybe he was looking at Rendi's words just now. He was married, that was true, but was he living the married life right?
Let it be Alarick who answers it himself. Toch wants to be told he won't believe it either.
“I already know, if you left the William family after that.” Randy reopened the conversation.
“Yes, Mas. At that time I was very angry and disappointed,” regretted Alarick. On his face immediately flashed a mist of sorrow. His eyes also showed how much he was hurt. Seeing a very readable expression on her husband's face, Sherin immediately lowered her head.
“Already, Rick. Forgive yourself! All that's over. And the time that has passed, can not be repeated again,” advice Rendi while patting slowly Alarick's shoulder just transfer the power to him.
“But at least, I can still make up for my mistake ‘kan Mas?”
“Not make amends, but show a responsibility,” errat Rendi with a brief smile.
“I mean, Mas Rendi?”
“Risa told me that she met you a few days ago at the pharmacy. So I understand where your conversation is headed,” explained Rendi.
“So, yes, Mas, if my child is still alive?”
“Yes, she is 22 years old now. Very handsome like you, Rick,” said Rendi.
“Ja-so, he's a man?” Alarick asked flatly, because of the hilarious and happy feeling that was on his chest. There were even pools of water in both of its neutrals.
Rendi nodded.
“Si-what's her name, Mas?” Alaric's voice sounded nervous due to his irregular heartbeat.
“Rafasya, we give it such a name.”
From the sight before his eyes, Sherin could feel how haru and sorrow had encircled Alarick's soul simultaneously. Rendi also has a judgment that is not much different, even guilt also attacks him instantly, because it has helped hide this fact from Alarick who has suffered for many years.
“I can meet him, Mas?” ask Alarick expectantly.
“She lives in Jakarta ..”
“In-where? Sa-I'll visit him there,”
Rendi smiled because Alarick was very enthusiastic, even immediately cut off Rendi's speech, even though the man was not finished with his words.
“But now, he's in this city too Rick. Maybe one or two more weeks, he will return to Jakarta.”
“Sa-I beg you, allow me to meet him. I will go to Mas Rendi's house tomorrow, or at this time I will go there,” Alarick's determination is full of enthusiasm.
Rendi shakes. “No, Rick. Don't come straight away. Let me talk to Risa. He's very sensitive when it comes to his eldest son's business.”
“Ja-so?” alarick.
“Wait to hear from me! In these two three days, I will contact you!”
“But Mas ..” Alarick looks impatient. And this attitude of his could be understood, which old man did not want to immediately meet with his flesh and blood. After years of mourning and wounds, now revealed one fact, that there is still one memory scattered. It is natural that Alarik wants to reach immediately, and embrace in a whole deckap.
“Alarick, give me a moment to convince Risa!” pinta Rendi meant it. “You deserve to meet your son, he's your flesh and blood. But Risa who has been her mother all this time, you have to think about Risa's feelings as well,” he continued.
Rather than Rendi, Risa who had not wanted to tell their eldest son, about her true identity. For reasons that are acceptable and understood.
“Mas, true what mas Rendi said, we follow his advice only. No, papa's waiting any minute. What matters Now everything is clear ‘kan Mas?” persuade Sherin. He understands how to make Alarick feel who wants to meet his biological children soon.
Finally the man agreed to wait. It's okay to be patient a little more, toch he has also been strong to hold patient all this time. Be patient in undergoing endless regrets and leave.
A moment later, Rendi left immediately, after Alarick gave her countless thanks, and then Sherin and Alarick left the coffee shop.
