"Maybe you should know why I refused to acknowledge your wife to this extent." Halim's tone softened slightly, not as hard as before.
The old man looked around the room.
"Joe, leave us both now!" pinta Halim's. He wants to discuss personal issues that no one else wants to hear. As bad as Frolline was in his eyes, outsiders did not need to know the reason.
The sound of the door closing, made Halim start it all. After making sure they were left behind in the room, then he opened his voice. Reveal what he objected to the son-in-law.
"Ko, grab the black map in the nightstand drawer," Halim pinta pointed at the small table beside the bed.
He complied without protest. He knew at this moment there was important information that daddy wanted to share with him. Just now that the black map was in his grasp, Halim's voice came back.
"Open up and read it! That's why I didn't approve of your wife until now. If you ask me what I don't like about Frolline, there's an answer in that map" Halim explained.
"If you ask what your wife should do to get my blessing, I'll say nothing. Because there is nothing your wife can change about the past" continued Halim.
He read carefully all the information that daddy had collected about Frolline, his wife. Without anything to pass by in the least. His heart skipped a beat as sheet by sheet he read it.
The man's smile grew as he stared at the photos of Frolline he so missed today. There are even wedding photos in there. A simple wedding without a reception let alone the blessing that until now they have not been cantongi.
"She's a sweet girl, a nice girl. There's nothing wrong with her except the way she married you without her blessing and her parents' horrible past." Halim explained without being asked. Let Ditya drown with all the information he was reading.
"How can I bless it, Ko." Halim was still sitting on the side of the bed, smiling cynically.
His frustration at the termination of the unilateral engagement by Papi Sandra began to be accepted. He learned to rearrange his heart after getting a burst of anger and anger from the House, his best friend. Despite having to fall ill with it, he began to accept all reality in plain sight.
However, being asked to approve Frolline was certainly not that easy. There are many considerations to this day he still does not approve. Still can't give you blessing.
"Hows it? So far as you understand, young master?" ask Halim cynically. Ready to wait for his son's answer.
"Born of a mother whose job ...." Halim chose not to continue with her sentence. The next words will sound harsh if they continue.
"They were three brothers, two women and one man. Having an equally bad job. If your woman was before this, maybe I can still accept it even if I have to. She is of clear descent, Riadi Dirgantara, but your wife is now ...." Halim sighed harshly.
"It's not clear who his father was. Just imagine when your wife comes into our family, her past will be skinned by everyone. Just think about it yourself. What's smeared isn't just our good name, your wife will be hurt by all her past." Halim is back.
"I love him, Dad. I married her. Of course I'll protect her and take responsibility." Ditya finally opened his voice after a long moment of silence.
"Honestly, I'm disappointed with the break-up of your engagement to Sandra. She's a smart girl and from a good family. No less important, Sandra is on par with our family. She's my best friend's daughter." Halim revealed her heart.
"Dad, I beg my wife's blessing." Dita suddenly knelt down. The black map he was holding, was placed on the marble floor of the room.
"I may not be able to change your view and opinion of Fro, at least please consider it again. It was the past of both of his parents. It was not a mistake that Fro had to be born in the middle of such a family." Ditya could not do anything after knowing the reason daddy rejected Frolline.
Halim. "Maybe if it's her brother, I can still consider. At least ... what's her name .. em Angella." Halim threw her eyes somewhere else. Not wanting to see his beloved son plead like that.
"Stand!" pinta Halim's.
"Like I can't force you to marry the girl of my choice, you can't force me to bless the woman of your choice right now. Go home! Take good care of the company. You can take your wife at all family events that are closed to the public, but never take her at any open event or corporate event! Otherwise ... I'm afraid I'll embarrass him again!" threaten Halim's.

Dita was drowned limp, walking out of daddy's room. All his efforts so far have been fruitless. He has tried to make Frolline worthy and worthy of his family. He taught me to do business and had his own career. However, if daddy issues about his parents' past, Ditya does not know what else to do.
"Boss ...."
"Matt, I want to see mommy for a second." Ditya spoke in a weak voice. His long legs had just stepped up, and suddenly his phone that was placed on Matt rang.
"Boss, mistress." Matt handed the expensive device to his master. An incoming message on one of the apps with a green logo. Matt found out after he got in and saw who had just sent the message.
"Fro?" Ditya welcomes his cell phone. The man frowned after seeing the black and white photo sent to him.
"What's this?" ask Ditya wonder. Of course he confused himself seeing the photo without any news after. Just a photo without a caption.
"What's up, Boss?" ask Matt, astonished. Seeing Ditya sculpting while observing the phone.
"This what does that mean, Matt? Fro sent wrong, did he?" ditya asked, thrusting the formless black and white photo in front of Matt.
Matt shakes. "His mother sent a copy of what document is that, boss? Why can't you read the writing at all?"
"I don't know, Matt." Ditya chose to save his phone back. Continue to go to mommy's room, while keeping the question in his mind
Even the mind cannot be separated from the photo sent by the wife. I don't know what it means to Frolline to send him that ultrasound photo.
"Do I call, yes." He returned to his cell phone from his pants pocket. It is best to find out directly at the source.
"It's better, boss. Who knows what is important and emergency. It could be that madam is stuck in a pitch-black warehouse and needs your help, Boss. So the picture is like that." Matt expressed his opinion after he had peeked at the picture sent by Frolline.
"Don't talk shit!" gerutu Ditya while attaching the phone with the apple logo the rest of the bite to his ear.
It didn't take long, a soft sound came to greet him.
"Ko, where are you now?" tanya Frolline was impatient. He's been waiting for Ditya's call ever since.
"Still in daddy's place. What did you send me, Fro?" asked Ditya innocently.
"Coko's seen?" tanya Frolline was excited.
"Have ... and why did you send that photo?" ask Ditya again.
"That's a gift from me to you, Papa." Frolline replied with blistering happiness.
Ditya was stunned for a moment, trying to understand what she had just heard. A second later, he screamed. "This is serious, honey?"
"Yes ...."
"Coko's gonna be papa?" Ditya.
"Yes." Yeah." Frolline answered with confidence.
"Coko's coming back to Jakarta now!" said Ditya turned to look at Matt who was smiling happily.
