Father's Choice of Sort

Alfian's Regret

Alfians.......

Young, handsome men, and of course. This year he has just finished his studies abroad with cumlaude results. Alfian returned home and joined his father's company.

Even so, Alfian did not necessarily get a good position or position in the company. The father wants to educate his children independently, and succeed because of his own efforts. That's why Alfian was assigned by his father to manage one of the children of the restaurant branch he owned. Although only a branch, the restaurant managed by Alfian is the largest restaurant in the city. Alfian is the first of three children, he has one younger brother who is still in college and one younger sister who is still in high school. As the eldest brother he is always required to be perfect by the father in order to be a role model for his two younger siblings, Alfian already has no mother, whose mother has died since she was a child due to an accident. It made him have to be a strong man so that his sisters can lean on him, especially because their father was too busy and often went out of town to take care of his business.

That afternoon after returning from Alfian's restaurant went straight home. After putting the car into the garage, he went straight into the house and went straight to his room on the top floor.

Alfian dropped himself on the soft bed, looking at the ceiling of his room with a blank look.

"It's too easy, just managing a restaurant in a small town like this won't be difficult, papa too underestimated me, if only to manage the branch of the restaurant, if only to manage the branch, there is no need to send me to study abroad" thought Alfian.

He suddenly recalled the incident this morning at the restaurant.

" Because of the hick girl, all day my mood was bad, after all I did not understand, why a famous restaurant can accept the village employees, beautiful not, not tall nor , skin......oh my God ... dark-skinned country girl, sloppy and undisciplined, I seem to have to change the requirements for the employees who want to work in the restaurant" Alfian muttered.

Alfian then got up and stepped into the bathroom. It is very desirable that he immediately wash his head with cold water so that his head feels fresh.

Shortly after that came a servant knocking on his bedroom door. Alfian opened the door and saw a servant standing at the door.

"Sorry young master, the great master is already waiting for the master in the dining room, said his master wanting to eat together with the young master" said the servant.

" Say I'll catch up, I'll change" Alfian then closes the door and changes clothes, throws his towel over the bed and goes downstairs to meet his father.

At the dinner table, seeing that his father and his two younger siblings were waiting for him, Alfian chose to sit across from his father, his two younger siblings glanced at him, as if something bad was going to happen....

"Ehem...... !! " Pak Wijaya Alfian's father started the conversation in the dining room.

"How was your first day working Al, ? " Task him.

All eyes looked towards Alfian.

Alfian did not budge, and was busy chewing his food. He ignored his father's questions. Seeing the reaction of Alfian who was silent Mr. Wijaya was a little upset, but he held it because he did not want any more quarrel with his first son.

"Is there a problem ? Henny didn't tell me anything at all."

"Do you need help ? " Subsequently Mr. Wijaya.

Alfian put down his spoon and fork, clearly visible annoyance in his wave.

"Nothing. " Key Alfian.

"Then ?" Ask Mr. Wijaya.

"What pa, do you think Al can't afford to take care of such a small restaurant ? even ordinary people are able to do it, there is no point Al lecturing far away from the country if finally only placed there. Al wants to work at the head office. " At last there was also the frustration that Alfian felt.

" It's not so Al, we have repeatedly discussed this, papa just wants you to start pioneering a career from below, papa knows you are capable, but give a good example to your sisters, but give a good example, papa wants you to succeed because of your efforts without frills papa help" stressed Pak Wijaya.

But Alfian who stubbornly still feels his father is not fair, Alfian always feels if his father only cares about his two younger siblings, Alfian, since childhood his father always forced the will with the proposition be a good example for his brothers. Alfian was fed up, he always felt like he was his father's puppet who had to obey all his father's will.

" Less enough so far Al obeyed all papa's will ? For the sake of papa Al leave the hobby and ideals of Al, for the sake of papa Al go out of the country and leave Arkha and Neta, now that Al came home with such satisfying results easily papa just asked me to take care of that little restaurant and did not give me the chance to work in the head office, my own papa office.... !!!! Al said in a loud voice.

"It's not fair to me" continued Alfian.

He kicked down the table and left the room.

Neta who was afraid of silence in her place, she knew that if her first brother was angry it would affect all residents of the house, especially her father.

" Pa, Neta's full "Say that pretty girl.

"Is papa okay?, sorry Al, you must have a little problem, a little emotion, maybe tomorrow, Al will improve after the rest tonight" Neta the youngest tried to calm her father.

Compared to his two sons Neta is the closest and understands his father. Although he was still young, he was the most mature among them. Neta's mature and patient attitude is what makes Pak Wijaya so far rigid, his daughter always reminds herself of his late wife. Only her daughter could comfort and understand her father.

In room , Alfian was still tensely holding back his anger, clutching both sides of the table in his room tightly, the shadow of four years ago still vividly remembered.

After graduating High School, he wanted to continue to study at the same faculty as Rena , his lover when high school first, Alfian's first love, so that eventually the relationship ran aground when his father sent him to college abroad.

Rena the jolly beautiful girl did not want to establish a long-distance relationship.In his opinion it was too difficult, for him it was not easy to resist longing and mutual trust, especially waiting for four years was not short.

Then Rena severed their relationship unilaterally, even though Alfian had tried to convince her.

Since then Alfian has harbored a sense of disappointment and sadness, which is the biggest reason why he was angry with his father, because it was his father that he lost his love, his first love, his first love, because his father was he felt a disappointment that until this moment he could not eliminate.

Neta enters Alfian's unlocked room, fearing that he might try to brave her, but her brother is unlikely to hurt her.

He touched her shoulder with a smile, trying to hide his fear.

Alfian was a little surprised and turned his head.

"Sister, am I bothering you ?" Ask Neta.

"No, what's up ? " answered Alfian.

Although still angry Alfian could not be rude to his sister, he said as gently as possible so that his sister would not be afraid.

Hearing her brother answer gently, Neta grew bolder and happier.

"Sister Al, I miss big brother, it's been a long time since we have not met, since coming home from abroad brother is busy continuously" said the girl innocently.

He paused his intention to ask about what had happened in the dining room earlier, afraid that his stubborn brother was angry again, after all he really missed him.

Alfian stood up and hugged his sister, his emotions dampened instantly when he saw the innocent face of his beloved sister.

"Sister also misses you, brother also has souvenirs for you, briefly brother get it" said Al.

Alfian walked towards the unopened suitcase since he returned a few days ago. In the suitcase there are some souvenirs that he deliberately bought for his sisters.

Alfian returned and brought a small sling bag branded with peach color for his sister ... Neta smiled happily receiving the bag, hugged her sister again.

"Thank you, this is great ....." Sumringah.

Al smiled at his sister's behavior. Then Alfian and Neta chatted, reminisced and recounted their experiences as long as they did not meet. Until the night got late, Alfianpun told his sister to go back to his room and sleep. Neta obeyed her brother's orders, before leaving her brother's room she smiled again, the sister rubbed her sister's head affectionately.

"Here you sleep, tomorrow's school ! " Alfian's Order.

Neta nodded and rushed out of Alfian's room.

After Neta left Alfian yawned until tears came out on both sides of his eyes. His body felt very tired and tired, because indeed he had less rest since returning from abroad.Not long after that he fell asleep and briefly forgot all his anger.
