Behind the Diary

Goodbye Dad

Today I met someone at a restaurant. I met Romy's Dad. The figure that from childhood I consider my own father. Still in my birthday mood, only 2 days apart. Dad is free from his sentence. While Nettly is still in the bars. But Dad wanted to meet and I escorted some bodyguards.

"Berlin... Do you want to excuse me??" Ask Romy

"What's it you're apologizing for." Berlin Speech

Although it feels sometimes crowded every time I visit him in custody. And now he's free. But he's still my father.

"Dad's sorry Berlin, you shouldn't have done that." Romy

It's as if Dad's current words are sincere from his heart and I'm melting.

"Dad don't have to apologize. Lagian Berlin isn't Dad's son." Berlin Speech

"Yes, you're Henry's real son, and I've known that since you were in high school." Romy

"If you knew, why didn't you say it." Berlin Speech

"Dad still thought at that time. And I'm not ready to accept the fact that you're not Dad's daughter. Then I was close to Nettly, she was always trying to keep Dad away from you and your mom." Romy

"Now you're aware that you're wrong??." Ask Berlin with hurt

"Yes... Dad's guilty..Father regrets. Berlin you're still Dad's son. From you learning to talk you call me Dad, Dad is happy, then we like to walk to the park near the house and Dad also teaches you to ride a bike." Romy's words are starting to get fragile

Dad reminded me of my old memory.it was true before he slowly got busy with his world and moved away from my life. Dad used to be quite attentive, like Dad was to his biological children. Yes, when you remember the stock meeting. I was made to be claustrophobic over his words. He's still the father I know. During the one-year sentence, almost once a month I came. Just wanted to see it and just bring her favorite food. I'm not as cruel as people think. I still have a taste. He is still the father I know and I love him.

"Don't need you to remind me about it first.. Berlin knows that too." Berlin stared at his father's face

"Yes..... Berlin.This is for you, happy 22nd birthday. I wish you happiness. I can't stay here for long. This is all I'm saying. May we meet again. Forgive me, Father." Romy said sincerely

Then he left the table. But I wasn't strong, I ran and hugged her from behind. I was just crying at that moment. Maybe Dad was also late in my crying. Everything in there sees us both being haru.

"Berlin also apologizes to Dad. I'm still Berlin's father." Berlin Speech

"Yes .. His father was Berlin. I'll go first." Romy hugging her little daughter

We walked out of the restaurant, Dad was still talking to the bodyguard escorting me. From the side of the road there's a driver waiting. Then I drove Dad to the side of the road.

Suddenly there was a black car with open glass pointing a gun at me

The gunshot made me shocked and frightened, I limped for a moment. And my father was covered in blood. Dad saw the gun grab me, hugged me tightly. Then some bodyguards caught up with them and I was terrified.

"......... Ayaaa..... "my voice feels heavy. "Dad.... Fathering.... " Berlin's voice is crowded

"Berlin.. You're okay, baby" said Romy slowly looking at her with hurt feelings.

" Yeah.........." Berlin's voice was tight

Broke me up by then. Then we were taken to the hospital by Dad's driver and bodyguard.

Along the way, my father was still staring at me with tears, and I couldn't see any more of this. But I mustn't let my guard down I must accompany father. Arriving at the hospital. My father was beginning to become unconscious. Directly taken to the operating room.

After that Papa and Mama came because the bodyguard directly contacted them.

"Berlin... Are you okay, baby???" Tanya Ayolla was very worried

"Mama... Mamma... Berlin is afraid of Mama" said Berlin with tears flowing and a sense of tightness in his chest

I did not stop crying and Papa immediately asked the sisters about Dad's situation and spoke to the bodyguard.

"Yes, baby.you are calm, baby. Your father must be strong. Mama is sure your father can get through his critical period" Ayolla said calmly

We've been in the operating waiting room for an hour. But no doctor has come out, only two sisters are still standing guard at the door of the operation. There's also a cop, Dad's assistant, and Clarisse.

"Mama..... How is Father Ma... Why so long??" Ask Berlin

Then the operating room door opened.... Papa and the others immediately stood up and asked.

"Yeahahoo!!!?" Berlin is no longer strong, Berlin is fainting.

Ja.. Dad Go... I'm gone forever, this way. I left Clarisse and Reyzen. Clarisse is Nettly's aunt's son, and if Reyzen is the son of Dad and Nettly she's very young. Clarisse and I weren't close but she was hugging me right now. She was different from her Mama and when her Mama was wrong, she didn't care about her Mama. He even prefers to visit his stepfather. Maybe he doesn't like what his mom does. Because Clarisse's father was alive and left to marry my father. Clarisse must be hurt about that.

The mood of mourning in Father's residence, not in the house we used to live in. The house is luxurious and all the facilities are inside the house. Guests who come quite a lot because Dad is a respected person. There are many people who know my family story, some who know me. Almost all eyes were on me. Tears that endlessly accompany Dad's departure. And they know about this story, the story of a father who saved his son. During the funeral procession I just pecked. Tears don't stop flowing, Dad's gone for good. I forgave Dad at that time. It is never too late for love. Thank you Dad, good-bye, heaven is with you.
