Father to My Daughter

disappointment of a father

Jennie was ready for her school uniform. Sit at the dinner table with the dishes already there.

Jennie's father glanced at Jennie. With his hand still holding the newspaper he folded it.

"Where are you going?" ask Mr. Ridwan.

"Pad school."

"You still want to go to school? Don't you have any shame?" Seru mr. Ridwan. Jennie was down.

"But, Jennie today there's a repeat of dad's math."

"Change your clothes, you don't need school from today."

Jennie's eyes are childish. "Please father, just these last two days."

Mr. Ridwan threw a letter that had just come this morning at Jennie. "Read that."

Jennie opened. A parent's call letter asking Jennie's parents to come in today.

"This?"

"It's clear your pregnancy must have smelled Jennie!" Seru mr. Ridwan. Ms. Sukma rubbed her husband's shoulder, asking him to be able to hold back his emotions.

"Then Jennie has to do what dad, Jennie still wants to go to school" she murmured.

"If you still want to go to school? WHY PREGNANT?!" snapped Mr. Ridwan.

"Dad, calm yourself don't keep the emotion well, pity Jennie." Sukma's mother said gently.

"Curtain, so sick of it. Have one child, but can't keep his pride. I still said I wanted to go to school. PUT THAT BRAIN ON!!" mr. Ridwan pointed at Jennie's forehead, he moved and walked quickly to his room, entering while slamming the door.

Jennie gasped, still with her head down, and she cried again. Sukma hugged him.

"Patience, your father is just still upset. Don't take heart."

"Mom, Jennie is sober. Jennie is guilty." His issue.

"Sssst, I ate first."

"Jennie has no appetite."

"But you have to eat for the sake of the child in your womb. We'll check with the midwife." take her mother. Jennie nodded as well.

Her mother's lips that could still smile but shed tears that made Jennie feel even more guilty. Certainly very big disappointment but he had to try to smile to make Jennie not more depressed due to her condition. Especially Jennie's father who was like he was silencing himself.

And sure enough in the student room he was faced with a teacher who handled the case of troubled students, homeroom Jennie, and a teacher BK (supervised guidance).

Mr. Ridwan rained many questions from the teacher about Jennie's condition, especially throughout the school has spread about the news of the pregnancy of the schoolgirls.

No objection from Mr. Ridwan. She admitted that her daughter Jennie was pregnant out of wedlock.

"Sorry sir, is it true that Jennie is pregnant with students from here as well?" ask the BK teacher. "And if it's true, maybe we can help lay a claim on him."

Mr. Ridwan was silent, he did not want to admit that Andi was the father of the child in his daughter's birth. After all if he mentioned Andi's name, could they still make him to make demands? While the biggest contributor is the parents of Andi itself.

"Sir Ridwan?" call classmate Jennie.

"No need ma'am, because the man who impregnated my son is not the man of this school" replied Mr. Ridwan.

"Are you sure sir?" ask again.

"Yes" he answered.

"Then. I'm so sorry sir. With a heavy heart must give Jennie's letter of expenditure from this school."

"Yes I understand very well, ma'am."

"Please strengthen your heart. And give guidance to the father again at home, I'm sorry sir."

"Thank you very much. And I'm sorry, my daughter has tarnished the good name of the school." said Mr. Ridwan, his eyes were already glazed.

"please add your heart, this is all disaster. And hopefully Jennie can live her days well after this sir." said the teacher BK.

Mr. Ridwan nodded. After the school returns Jennie's file, she goes home with a broken heart.

The peerless disappointment he felt really made him feel like a failure as a father.

He was a TNI officer, serving as a protector of the State, who sometimes served on the borders of the country. Protect from intruders who enter without permission.

Mr. Ridwan is also a respected soldier, he even often gets praise from his commander because of all the achievements he achieved.

But it seems that all this does not happen to his family. He might be able to protect the country, but his little family? He can't protect that. Until his only daughter has to do a despicable deed, which results in pregnancy. Even with a depraved man who doesn't want to be in charge.

In-house. Jennie's father took down all the pictures of her on the wall in her TNI uniform.

"There's nothing to be proud of anymore. Because I was a failed father." He muttered while sitting on his sofa with the frames on the table.

Lunglai Pak Ridwan there observed the frames. Until a speck of tears dripped with his hand massaging his forehead. His shoulders were shaking crying. Extreme disappointment really cannot be expressed in words. Especially his sense of failure to educate children.
