Chapters 33. The King and his Princess

Aza could only exhale heavily, holding back the cry that was ready to explode. His lips were bleeding because he had bitten to hold back his emotions.

His nano gaze stared at the frail body of the father, who looked increasingly aging more capably since the last time they met.

"Sorry..." Hendri grabs Aza's arm, trying to hug her.

"..." - ".Aza did not flinch, her gaze was blank.

"Hiks...." Aza could no longer hold her back, her cries breaking after that.

"Why.....?" In the middle of sobs.

The luxurious nursery was only filled with the sobs of the father and child, while the twins could only be silent in a sense of turmoil on the sofa.

"You always act without thinking about my feelings?" Aza was scared to death when she saw her father's current state. Remembering they had only spent a little time together in peace, Aza was afraid of not having another chance.

There are no other words you can say but sorry. He should have told Aza earlier about his illness, if he knew the reaction of Aza who was afraid of losing him like this actually made him feel happy and optimistic to be cured.

"Are you afraid of losing your father, son?" Ask Hendri again.

"What are you talking about?!!!" The reply was upset, still in the grip of the father.

"Do you love me, son?" Aza tightened her embrace, crying loudly.

"Dad is so evil, ask me like that." Hendri smiled warmly as he rubbed the back of his daughter's head.

"Dad wants to hear it, even if only once..." Added after sighing.

"Dad.., despite the wasted time we've been through... I always loved you from the beginning.  I Love You..." Aza felt as her two brothers also hugged her from behind.

"Front, let's be happier!" Pinta Vino was soft, Aza was crying until her breath was wheezing because of her.

Aza lay in her father's arms on a hospital gurney that could hold up to 5 people. Looking at the heavy snow falling.

"Dad..." Call Aza spoiled, ask her father to return the grip of her hand.

"What kind of a mother is Dad? Why do you love Mom?" Aza asked while stroking the surface of Hendri's hand that grasped his hand.

"She's a great and strong woman, just like you. The difference is that he is too obedient and obedient. Different from you... Ah... It seems your stubbornness was passed down from Dad. Therefore, your mother gave up a lot and resigned to the situation. Father forgets this, the reason father loves mother because his innocence looks at the world, his eyes are always full of cheerful twinkle, making it difficult for father to take his eyes off. As you know, being a Kusuma let alone a single heir like a father must be full of demands to always be perfect. Studying during the night, jumping in directly to solve problems. Make your life stressful, until you forget your happiness. Until I met my mother when the family driver was late to pick up, but instead gave a special memory for my father. Unfortunately when the trouble that had to make our family messy came, I forgot the reason I loved your mother. Had you remembered that if you were an unlikely person to do such a thing, you would not have lost your mother and you..." Aza rubbed her father's hand into her facial skin.

"But I thank you... Thank you for being a disobedient child and for taking your own decisions. If not ... The story won't be like this. Maybe this father's daughter will still be caught up in the stupidity of her own family. Thank you for being brave, you are great, baby... Please don't leave us again, we really love you son." Aza blinked her eyes, her tears making her eyes foggy.

"Aza will always be with me." Hendri smiled happily at her, despite knowing the meaning of happiness that Aza said was not fully together. Because the girl was already there to tie her. As well as the dreams that Aza had to pursue would be a distance that would probably torment her in holding back the longing for the new daughter to be with her for 2 years.

"Dad heard Dikta's going to graduation, how are your plans?" Ask Hendri.

"I don't know, we're still communicating as usual. He didn't ask me to do anything either. Why?" Hendri was silent, how is the progress of the relationship between the two? Is Aza that cold?

"Do you still have business at the boarding school?" Ask Hendri.

"How about you catch up with Dikta, go to college there? As you approach, I feel your relationship is too weird as a couple." Aza just kept quiet.

"Dikta can also continue his career there without having to resist longing for his wife, right?" Ask Hendri.

"Then dad? Father himself asked Aza not to leave father again, now instead ask me to leave? How is this dad?" Ask her annoyed.

"Dad can be there anytime, especially if you've..." Hendri did not continue his conversation.

"Dad also wants daddy's daughter to be happy and find her love, Dikta's a good man for you. I believe that." Hendri.

"All right." Reply Aza flat.

"Father outrageous!!" Whimper Gavin.

"Why separate me from my sister so quickly!!" He added, while Vino chose to hug Aza, afraid that the girl would leave at any time.

"You can't go deck, you don't love brother?" Ask Vino, who Aza ignored. Aza is cool with her phone while using earphones.

"At least give us a few more months... Why is it suddenly like this. We haven't been back in a week from Texas, I've been wanting to send him to the US again?!!"

"Aza agrees, he can also meet Dikta there. Imagine how long Dikta had been waiting for Aza? Next week also Dikta graduation, you guys have the heart to let Dikta graduation without Aza?" Ask Hendri.

"Tega anyway... After all he will remain at graduation even without Aza." Reply Vino.

"You are indeed..... Sometimes..." Said the father out of words.

"You can come to see me if you miss, don't make it difficult." Reply Aza finally.

"The thing is we've always missed and wanted to meet our sister." Said Gavin restraining indignation, with the words of his sister.

"Hurry to find a partner, so that there are people you can treat sweetly. Not just me, I can't accept it continuously. It's like eating sweet that's too sweet until I don't want to eat it." The reply.

"You don't like sweet." Reply Vino.

"That means you don't like me?" Ask Both.

"I never said it, you guys concluded." Aza hugged the two, as her plane was about to depart. He hugged his father and kissed his cheek. Both her sisters stared eagerly.

"All right...... Okay..." Aza also kissed her second.

"See you. I'm picking up Dad, brother, I love you all." Said Aza, which actually made the two unwilling to let go of their embrace. And even sobbing cries forced so that it sounds annoying in Aza's ears.

Aza could only roll her eyes in annoyance.

"You guys are Kusuma, long distances can be close to your money. I told you, you can meet me if you want to meet. Don't overdo it, and let me go." Resenting.
