ARETTAS

PERSUADE DADDY TO STAY

The days pass so quickly. Now Aretta and mom are used to living without a father figure. In fact, he now felt much better. Of course since he agreed to Nino's request.

Until one day. . .

"Mom," Aretta opened the conversation.

"Why, Are ?" Ask the mother when the two lie down to sleep, because it is already late at night.

"If anyone likes Are, what about ?" Aretta asked innocently.

"Good, dong." Answer mom briefly.

"If there's a guy who likes Are good too, ma'am ?"

"Lho, what ?" Mother asked back.

"Yes, Are is just a ma'am."

"Everyone who likes us, that's good. As long as they like us, it doesn't matter. But remember, I do not want to until Are dating. Are still small, can't be boyfriend-girlfriend !" Mother's words confirmed.

"If dating for our nyemakatin how is ma'am ? Let the school be that spirit." Aretta said she would not lose.

"Whatever the reason, I disagree Are dating, point !" I put emphasis on the last word.

"Better sleep now, don't think of anything." Said the mother who was still in her son's room.

Aretta closed her eyes, trying to get rid of the bitter feelings she received, when she had to find out that her story would not go smoothly.

Tok, tock, tock

The sound of the door being knocked.

The mother, who had noticed Aretta was fast asleep, immediately left her and rushed to open the front door.

"Who's there ?" Mommy said before opening the door, making sure.

"It's dad, mom !" Saying the man outside the door.

"What is it that dad comes here at night ?" Think mother.

I opened the door, and soon Dad came in.

Dad took a sitting position, which was followed by mom.

"You make coffee ?" Ask mother.

Because even though the father prefers to live with other women, but it is undeniable that among them are still tied to marriage status.

"Yes, mom. Make coffee a regular rich item." Father say.

He also made coffee with a dose that he used to make before, when they were still living together.

Now the mother is no longer angry with the attitude of the father who has cheated on her. He can already be legowo and prefers to be stupid.

"This is the coffee." Say mom while offering a cup of coffee to dad.

"Thank you, ma'am." Dad said grabbing a cup of coffee from mom's hand.

The mood was silent for a moment. There was no conversation between them. Until finally I dared to ask.

"What are the nights here ? Your wife will be angry." Mom opened the conversation.

"I'm getting fed up with Rani's attitude, ma'am." Answer father.

"I mean ?" I don't understand, where is my talk.

"Lately, Rani's starting to be arbitrary towards me, ma'am." Reply to the father whose eyes are still glaring far away.

"That's your choice." Answer mom flat.

"Yes, mom. But honestly, I'm so sorry I left mom and Aretta." Said Dad instantly lowering his head.

The mood was silent for a moment.

"Sorry dad, mom. Looks like I chose the wrong." Said the father who still lowered his face.

"What really happened ?" Ask mother. Because after all, his little heart was undeniable. If the togetherness that goes through dozens of years, it makes it not easy to erase the memories built with father.

"Rani treated me like a dairy cow, ma'am. In fact, I have to do all the housework." Dad said occasionally with tears in his eyes.

His soul as a man felt humbled by his new wife.

She smiled cynically, even though her heart was crying. If the husband who has been respected, must be a babu in the place of other women.

"Even when I asked for a little money for Aretta's fee, Rani chided me."

"Patiently, it was my choice. I can't help you." Answer the mother who is still sitting far away from the father.

"Dad apologize ma'am, for all your mistakes. Do you want to apologize, Dad ? For Aretta !" Said father.

"What do you mean, Dad ?" Ask mom not to understand.

Dad held his seat to mom.

"Dad wants us rich first, ma'am. We started everything from the beginning." Saying father while holding mother's hand.

At that time, my mother did not give her answer. His mother's heartache and feelings were mixed into one. Because after all, father had accompanied his days for dozens of years. And it's not easy to forget all that, even more so, there's their baby, Aretta.

"Mom don't know yet, Dad !" Reply mother let go of father's hand from his grasp.

"Dad knows that mom still doubts dad. Father's mistakes are worthless if they can't be forgiven."

"Mother is just afraid that someday I'll do the same to you." Say mother.

"Dad promised mom, it won't make you disappointed. Especially making the same mistake. I just want to get through old age with the people I love. I don't want to either, if one day Aretta hates me." I'm still trying to persuade.

"Okay, yeah ! If you are serious about your words, prove it. I don't need an appointment !" Say mother.

"What if you come back here, you want to divorce Rani ?" Say mother again.

"Of course, ma'am. I'm going to divorce Rani. I'm sick of living with Rani. Dad felt his pride as a man, being trampled by Rani." Said father still felt annoyed at Rani's treatment.

"Then why are you quiet ? Not if the same mother, father dare to yell at mother ?" Mom's question started to rise.

"Dad doesn't understand, ma'am. Why can't you fight back, if you tell Rani. I've never felt this before. Always be told, even to do homework." Answer father remembered.

"Maybe, because you love Rani too much ?" Ask mother.

"It doesn't feel like it, ma'am." Answer father.

"Whatever that's the reason, I don't want to know. It's not important to me either !" Mother said back cynically.

"Dad promised, will divorce Rani as soon as possible. So we can go back to being rich first." Said I'm still trying to convince mom.

"Not much talk, just prove it !" Saying mother ketus.

However, in the depths of the mother's heart, there was still a little bit of love saved for the father.

"Dad will prove it, ma'am. But please, after that, mother don't refuse father ! I'll go first, ma'am." Father's words passed leaving the mother who was still silent in the seat where she sat.

Mom's mind is still messed up with what just happened. How not, someone who a few months ago had destroyed his feelings, now came back with a hearty heart. Ask to be accepted back to be united with mother.
