Father to My Daughter

decision to be independent (2)

That night Jennie's family was gathering in the TV room. Mr. Ridwan was playing lego with Nara, while Sukma and Jennie's mother watched their favorite reality show.

Jennie glanced at her father, she really wanted to say something that would probably be the father's long talk after this.

However, if it lasts too long it will make more and more strangulation in the heart. Until finally, the courage to open his voice appeared when the father sat in his chair, reaching for a cup of coffee on the table.

Jennie sighed for a moment. "Dad?"

Call him a little doubtful. Mr. Ridwan turned his head, he put the coffee cup back on the table.

"Dad, Jennie wants to talk" she said.

Bu Sukma moved he approached Nara. Alternately play with a little girl who is still cool playing with her lego.

"Talk." replied the father.

"I? I didn't know this was gonna make you mad or not, but? Jennie wants to be independent, live together with Nara."

The two husbands looked at Jennie, especially the father who immediately frowned. "What do you mean ask permission to stay together with Nara? Is this house not big enough for you?" ask the father.

"No, it's not so. Jennie just?"

"You're still in school, right? If you two live together, what about Nara, when you went to study?" Mr. Ridwan grabbed his coffee cup and sipped it again.

"Don't fuck around!" He said then while covering the glass cup with the cover. He's back on the move.

"Jennie just didn't want to, constantly being a shit on your face." he muttered as he bowed.

Mr. Ridwan also stopped moving he returned to his position. Looking straight at Jennie.

"I know, all this time about Jennie has always been a warm conversation in this complex, even always making Jennie a bad example for their children. Maybe it doesn't matter to Jennie because Jennie is like that? Like what they think of Jennie. But if you have to hurt mom and dad by setting you up as an example of a failed parent Jennie can't take that." Jennie began to shed her tears.

"Have you spoken?" ask Mr. Ridwan. Mr. Ridwan sighed for a moment.

"Jennie, right now we are as if we are becoming a public figure who is acting the role, while they are just watching. They don't know what's really going on behind the scenes. And can only blaspheme us at will, insult, even judge.

It was already the nature of those who could only watch in front of the screen, so let it be."

"But Jennie wants the names of father and mother to come back clean.maybe if they no longer see Jennie, they will soon forget, and then father and mother will return to their usual stature."

Mr. Ridwan sighed. He didn't say anything anymore. He just moved and walked up to Nara and held her. "You're going to separate a grandfather from his grandson?" ask Mr. Ridwan. He kissed Nara's cheek.

"Dad, Jennie will be staying not far from this house. I can still visit Jennie and Nara's house."

"Come and just see him for a few hours, then split up again?? You know why Dad's now a rarity out of town? I enjoy it here more, can go home every day to meet my beloved grandson." Mr. Ridwan kissed Nara's cheek again.

"you don't know what it's like when I miss Nara, Jennie?

Dad doesn't agree! You and Nara should stay here!" Rigorously.

"Dad, please understand."

Jennie rubbed her tears back. Sukma walked over to Jennie, and sat down next to her. Gently stroked Jennie's shoulder-length hair.

"Darling, why do you suddenly want to move out of here? Don't you know? We love you guys so much. We can't possibly let you two stay alone. Nara is still two years old. You still need a lot of guidance to take care of Nara."

Jennie sniffles. "Jennie doesn't want to trouble mom and dad all the time. Jennie also doesn't want father and mother to always be insulted because Jennie has children but no husband."

"Mom never felt like that baby, dad was the same."

"But the truth is, mothers often cry because of that, right? Mom came home early and cried alone in the room. All because of who? Because they insulted a mother who had a daughter like Jennie!"

Sukma hugged Jennie's body, calming the crying Jennie.

"Please help Jennie talk to Mom's dad. Jennie and Nara have to stay alone."

"Jennie. We're only worried about you if you have to stay together, baby."

"Jennie will be fine ma'am. Jennie promised, Jennie will still visit. Please help Jennie ask mom's permission." Pinta Jennie's.

Bu Sukma was silent. She just doesn't want Jennie and Nara to leave this house any more should help her ask her husband for permission.

The night is getting late Jennie and Sukma ma approached Ridwan who was in his room with Nara.

Seen in the room Mr. Ridwan immediately rubbed his wet eyes when he saw Jennie and his wife enter.

"Dad forgive Jennie yes. Jennie didn't mean to make me sad." Jennie said. While Mr. Ridwan just silently held his grandson.

"Nara, we're bobbing yuk, it's been a night baby." Jennie. Nara raised both her hands asking for Jennie's hand. With a smile on Mr. Ridwan's lips he kissed Nara's cheek.

"Nara Bobok first yes, tomorrow play with grandfather again." he told the grandson.

It was seen Nara returning his grandfather's kiss and then blabbering indistinctly on the grandfather so as to make the three chuckle.

Jennie carries Nara out of her grandparents' room.

***

In the morning. Somehow the way his mother spoke. The father was devastated, and gave Jennie permission to be independent.

But with the record when Jennie is undergoing learning Nara must be at her parents' house. With that Jennie also agreed.

A few days later, they had found a suitable rented house for Jennie, a comfortable house even though it was not too big. The area is also well-organized.

Mr. Ridwan has also filled the rented house complete with a bed, rice cooker, and various objects and other important electronic devices that Jennie needs most.

"Dad hope you just for a moment want to be independent Jennie. And come back to live with us." Said the father.

Jennie smile. He was just silent because what was in his heart was forever until he had his own dwelling.

Because after this Jennie will really find money to provide for herself and Nara. Because se? It's been quite a lot of him troublesome the father is now Jennie's turn to really learn to be a single mother who must be responsible for the child.
