The modern two-story building looks luxurious and magnificent. The front yard is more than enough to accommodate three mini buses at once, not including the car port to the right of the building. The garden with a variety of well-kept flowers is on the left side, sweetened with a fountain in the middle. The back, clear of the pool invites anyone to plunge themselves into the. It is also a relaxing place for its residents.

Moved to the mother building, the place where dozens of spaces were formed. Like rooms with seven-star hotel facilities, a more appropriate living room is called a hall and dining room with a long table and dozens of chairs around.

But who would have thought such a big house, only two people live. Exactly two homeowners aka employers, while six others are only household assistants.

A middle-aged man with his misty hair neatly combed back sat on the dining room chair, especially reading the newspaper. Occasionally his hand moved to the coffee cup in front, sipping a little of its contents before continuing to read. Ignore the various breakfast menus on the table.

“Again, Pah.”

It was only after the greeting was heard that the man folded the newspaper, turning to his only child, “Morning, Rey.”

Rey sits at the end of her father's chair in front of the head of the table. Flipping the plate, Rey took out two slices of tuna and vegetable sandwich. Her face looks bright beating the sun out there. Smiles adorn the lips.

“You look excited Rey today?” ask Randy. In recent days Rey has been quiet more often, not because of empty thoughts, but like saving a lot of burden.

Rey pulled the corner of the lips, in fact the euphoria of his happiness yesterday is still felt until this moment. That's how strong Selly's influence is on him. Deserve the other day he was careless. “Mau nimba science should be spirit, Pah,” the pretext.

Randy nodded as he flicked his lower lip, then placed his hand on the table after sliding the cup first. “You also look busy Rey lately?”

Rey puts the knife and fork back on the plate, turning to pay attention to her only parent, Randy Atmaja. If asked, who is Rey's idol? Then he will answer, his idol is this man sitting next to him. The man Rey thinks has a special aura, a kind of leader soul that makes anyone submissive and respectful, even if the man only wears a home shirt once. Rey always liked the way Randy walked, making every eye avert, and nodding respectfully. Rey was amazed at how the man took out every word, as if he had previously been taken into account.

Perhaps that is why Randy Atmaja successfully ran his own soap company into the largest in the country. The man who still looks handsome even though his hair is no longer perfect black was also a figure more than a father for Rey. If many children of entrepreneurs who may be abandoned because their father is busy taking care of business, then Rey has never lacked affection and attention since she was left 15 years ago. For Rey, Randy Atmaja is a king who must be respected and obeyed his wishes.

“Lumayan, Pah. Why?”

“Tuition busy or other busy? Until it has to skip?” Randy brought his cup to the front of his mouth, sniffing the distinctive aroma of the coffee for a while before sipping slowly.

Rey shouldn't be surprised when Randy finds out he skipped college the other day. Even how many times Rey goes to the bathroom in a day she thinks Randy knows. The eyes of his father are many, including on campus.

“Yesterday there was Pah,” I Rey, cut the sandwich and put it in the mouth.

Randy observes his son, it feels like just yesterday the boy asked for a cradle on his back, but look at the height of the boy has even exceeded it. Rey's face is the perfect blend of him and Maya, his late wife. Can Randy be proud to have a child who besides being beautiful is also smart?

For Randy, Rey is the most beautiful gift, despite having only a single parent, Rey behaves very well. He is not a young man who likes to squander parents' money for a moment's pleasure. His son prefers to spend time fiddling with machines, making experiments or playing playstations with his two best friends. It is Randy's obligation to monitor every move of his son, including matters that interfere with the child's smooth education.

“Urusan?”—upside bis—“Like?” Randy knew that even in every step Rey took, he would know. He wanted to see the extent of his son's honesty.

Sipping the orange juice, Rey wiped her mouth with a tissue. “Urusan young man,” he replied with flushed earlobes. Rey doesn't know that discussing feelings will make her groggy, so she has to disguise herself in another language.

When Rey was in high school, Randy was worried, because his son never showed signs of falling in love. Like daydreaming by yourself, smiling in front of a mirror, or going on a Sunday night. Rey is often out of the house, but always her twin friends who accompany, or Alarik. He was never seen with any other girl besides his family. Randy had thought that the absence of a female figure had made Rey insensitive to the sentimental feelings.

However, in recent times that thought has disappeared. Rey began to show the symptoms, whining in front of the phone, leaving late in the morning for college, and a series of other new activities.

“Rey, Papah does not prohibit you from falling in love.”

Rey straightened her back when she heard Randy's words. Right, guys? His father would know whatever he was doing.

“But this age of yours,” Randy again continued, “yah, still too labile,” he said while raising his shoulders. Rey is young, just semester 4. There is still a long way to go. And Randy doesn't want Rey to lose focus on her education.

“I mean Papa, Rey is just messing around?” Furrowing his brows, Rey disagreed less with her father's opinion. Although still too early to conclude, but never imagined in his wish to fall in love with other than Selly Anandita. Liking one woman alone has made it foggy, how is it possible to build love for another?

“Papa did not say so, only it would be a pity if you waste time on someone who may not necessarily be your soul mate.”

“But, Rey is pretty sure Pa.”

Randy sighed, feeling his head throb a little. Like her, Rey is also a firm man of standing. If you already like something, it is not easy to make him turn away.

If this is the case, inevitably he has to put a strategy. This child is still public about women, including about the identity that may be hidden. Randy can't just let Rey hook up with just any girl. Rey's companion should be clear of his origin. Rey's wife must be educated and kind.

Unfortunately, the girl who is currently loved by Rey, to make him skip college hours, not go home, and severe frustration just because of the problem, does not meet all the criteria. The girl may be smart, because she became one of the students who got a merit scholarship. The girl could be nice, because Rey couldn't possibly fall for a haphazard woman. But there was one fatal flaw to him.

“Look,” said Randy, looking at his son closely, this is serious. “Papa let you get into a relationship with someone, on condition ...,” Randy paused his sentence, giving Rey a chance to prepare to hear his terms. “The woman should be clear of her origin, Papa does not mind the economic status because we already have all that, but Papa wants the woman who will be your companion is a clear child father and mother.”

Rey's lips twitched, holding back a laugh. “Papa, kirain what? Yes, Rey likes robots that are not clear who the father is.”

“You don't know yet what the outside world is, Rey,” Randy's next words leave Rey stunned. “There are many unrecognized babies born, even dumped by their parents.”

For a moment Rey was silent, which she remembered, Selly had said that her father had died, although she did not know where the tomb was. “Why did Papa apply for such terms?”

“Because, Papa does not want your life to be disturbed later, there are many aftermaths of problems from a child who is not clear parents.”

Randy got up, picked up a suit that was draped on the back of a chair, then approached Rey. “Papa just want the best for you Rey.” Patting Rey on the shoulder, the man then waved away.

Rey remained silent at her seat after Randy's departure. Feeling something uncomfortable with the heart, some kind of hunch but no matter what. Rey nodded, then shook her head. He had just mended a relationship with Selly, at least let him breathe a sigh of relief for a moment. Sally couldn't possibly lie to that one, right?
