Father to My Daughter

andi meeting with Mr. Ridwan

Tonight with a feeling of disappointment, no matter the pain and pain he felt due to the hot iron embroidery wound from Arya.

It seemed like nothing more than a wound in his heart. Obviously, Jennie and Excel must have a special relationship. Then what about her?

He took his car, to a hospital. In order to get treatment for the burn, a doctor examined it and ordered the nurse to clean the dirt around Andi's wound. Until after the wound was cleaned and covered in bandages, Andi again stepped out.

Still coughing along with the blood on his handkerchief, made Andi pause before opening his car door, he leaned there for a while.

Recalling what had just happened, Arya was indeed not a person she could underestimate. She can do anything to satisfy her desires, now the focus may not be on Excel and Jennie's relationship. Except for Nara's safety.

Until a short message came in. Andi sighed lazily, then opened it.

(Indeed you're a strong wild lion huh hahaha. Andi's? You have to remember that the child's safety is very threatened, so just come back to me then your loved ones will never touch.)

Andi squeezed his phone hard, then turned his body leaning slightly by leaning his head beside the roof of his car while banging slowly, he began to groan.

"Why should this be? Why do I have to deal with a demon guy like Arya?" Mumbled. Long enough he leaned his head, until finally he went back into his car, and left the place.

Intermittent mornings...

Jenni's father was already getting ready to do his job, in that dashing TNI uniform. He is now heating his motor machine outside, until a ringing of incoming chat messages makes it open quickly.

(Sorry sir it's me, Andi. Nara's real father. Can we meet?)

Mr. Ridwan's forehead is wrinkled. He still hated that bastard so much, and right now it was like he had the guts to ask to meet?

Mr. Ridwan tried to press the call sign and put the phone in his ear.

In the second row, the phone was received by Andi.

"Hallo, sir?" Answer Andi from sebrang.

"Break...! Got the guts you called me, and claimed to be the real father of my granddaughter?" Hunus Jenni's father without further ado.

"I know, you must still hate me a lot sir. But it's for Jennie and Nara's safety."

"Don't you name my daughter and granddaughter with your disgusting mouth...!" Gertak Ridwan who was half dead hated him. While the one in the room just sighed, closed his mouth because he coughed. "Listen to me good, savage man! You've thrown away my daughter and granddaughter. So don't ever dream of seeing her again."

"I know that. But please sir... Please give me a chance to talk. Or better to meet. And speak directly. Then I'll show you something at Nara's school. Please..."

'what does that mean? Should I trust him? I'm sure this kid is a criminal, who knows if he's setting me up?' batin mr. Ridwan.

"Sir Ridwan, are you still there?"

"Yes... Alright. When will we meet."

"This morning too."

"good. I'm going to Nara's school." Said Mr. Ridwan assented. Until Andi's smile expands, he breathed a sigh of relief there.

Andi's hands clenched in her steering circle. She felt unwavering Nara being carried by Excel.

But he could do nothing but just silently watch the two people waving at Nara who had started running in. Then take Jennie's hand and walk back into the Excel car.

"Really... Jennie had a special relationship with that long-spirited guy. Ck...! My hopes are completely dashed now." Andi leaned her head on the steering wheel, right then and there. Fresh blood suddenly flowed from his nose making Andi rub slowly.

"I'm nosebleed again?" His murmur looked at the blood on his hand, taking some tissue, to clean his nose and leaning back again. His eyes were still fixed on the Excel car that was starting to drift away. "Really... I can't be selfish, Excel is, they'll both be happy afterwards." She shed her tears while chuckling.

"Why am I melow once now anyway?" She wiped her own tears. "Yeahhhh... If I were a good human being first, maybe the one who picked up my son was me. And my wife Jennie won't work at the hotel." Andi leaned forward, hugging his steering wheel.That regret would not change his current state.

His messy life and broken body, along with his love that others now have. Makes him feel more and more like the most regretful man in the world.

A motorbike stopped not far from Andi's car, making the man's head lift.

"Sir Ridwan?" Andi muttered immediately wiping her tears as she looked at herself in front of the mirror, confirming if there was still blood on her nose?

And after feeling nothing, he also came out of the car to approach Mr. Ridwan who was looking at him sharply.

"Omm?" To shake Jennie's father's hand, but soon Jennie's father's hand moved away.

Andi smiled wryly, he understood and would not blame Mr. Ridwan as well.

"Just tell me what you want to talk about. I don't have time."

"It's a matter of Nara's safety, I have to check Nara's school section sir." Andi.

"Sad...! What the hell are you talking about?"

"My mouth, sir. So that you can know." Andi stepped first. While Mr. Ridwan followed lazily.

After asking for permission on the security, Andi also checked the corners of the park. Until he stepped on something.

Slowly he began to crouch down to dredge a little part of the ground and finally found a mine.

just contact Mr. Ridwan's eyes and the scurity widened. How could there be a mine attached there but no one knew?

"It's still there's a connection, the trigger's gotta be somewhere." Murmured Andi, who got a cable that was embedded there.

At that time Andi began to pull the cable slowly while stepping forward, looking for the center of the mine was planted. The very long cable kept trying to pull. They arrived at the back of the school library.

Andi raised her head. Right above him was the classroom, making his hands instantly clenched as he knew it was Nara's classroom.

He also squatted. Trying to dig deep and sure enough a directional type active explosive is embedded there. Andi immediately pulled out his phone, fiddling with codes that only he knew.

Until the screen turns into a coordinate point that shows where the bomb is attached.
