Father to My Daughter

you're my choice

A few moments After...

With two eyes that meet each other. Andi stared with sayu, a clear circle that was still wetting the corner of both eyes. Implies a sense of being different from each other.

"I want to, fix all the destruction I've made," muttered in the silence in the room, making the young lady's forehead on top wrinkle. "Please... Let me make Nara happy, even if not for long."

The deg...!

'what does that mean?' jennie, full of questions. He winked, a very sweet smile was given Andi to him.

"Married to me. Let me make a good impression on him, and make amends to you."

Jennie pushed forcefully, breaking away from the arms of her ex-lover. What he considers to be a criminal, his future murderer. The jerk who made her raise a child without a husband. Jennie's lips clenched tightly, blurting out the big question mark of what was on her mind. Slowly Andi clasped Jennie's hand.

"Jen... You agree, right?"

Jennie was about to answer, but the two of them immediately turned to the door, when they heard like the sound of a falling object. Also the voice of apology from a man.

Jennie's eyes widened when she found out who the man was. He let go of Andi's hand and walked out quickly.

The man had already walked a few steps away from the place while a nurse walked in after nodding once at Jennie.

"Mas Excel–" call it. The man immediately stopped his steps, turned his back on Jennie, he touched his chest which was still very sick.

"Yes..." Call her again, then run a little closer to the man who is still behind her. He grabbed Excel's hand, made the man turn. "Why go?"

Excel is trying to develop his smile. "You're talking to him? I don't want to bother you guys."

"I still choose you. It won't change" Jennie cut, she already understood the situation.

Excel returned his smile, with his hands returning the girl's grasp. But just to let go of Jennie's hand.

"We'll talk later. I gotta get out, buy some water. I'm thirsty."

"I....?" Jennie's hand was about to grab her arm again, but it went off. When Excel is back, take its foot off.

'I love you, Jennie. But I realized the boy must need his real father. Not me.' Inner Excel with a slow step away from the woman who was still looking at him softly.

"Excel," he murmured.

🍂 🍂 🍂 🍂

For more than half an hour, Excel is back. He stood in front of the door. When Nara and Jennie's mother and father arrived in the room. Along with one other middle-aged woman.

They were laughing, listening to the babble of the little girl sitting on the lip of the bed, next to Andi.

"It seems they are happy. Nara also looks more cheerful." Duck.

"Mas, why don't you come in?" jennie asked who was already standing behind her, it seemed like she was from somewhere. Excel turned his head, he found a scraped pouch in his girl's hand

"Where are you from?" Ask Excel.

"Buying fruit" he answered.

"Oh..."

"Let's go in."

"Thank you. But I have to go home."

"Why?"

"It's okay, I'm just tired from the meeting."

Jennie captures a different facial expression from Excel. Yes, that man must be angry with her.

"Come in a minute. I've asked Dad for permission to come out with you."

Excel is silent, there is no intention to answer. Until Jennie's hand grabs her, linking.

"Come on... Just take this fruit." Excel's hand came in, and the gondrong guy just obeyed.

In deep...

Andi stared at those interlocking hands, making her heart slightly pinched. Then respond to it with a thin smile. While Jennie let go for a moment. Approaching Nara, and putting the fruit on the table.

"Nara, you go first. Later Nara went home with grandparents, it's okay, right?"

The girl widened her smile, nodding. Afterwards hugging Andi's body, made Andi smile.

"Nara same father... Nara wants to go with me first."

Jennie smile. "All right..."

Jennie then said goodbye to those who were there. Lastly to Andi, the man simply replied with a nod once with a fixed gaze on Excel.

And when the two were about to exit Andi called the name Excel, making them turn their heads.

"Can you come tomorrow?"

"You can."

"Well, one o'clock in the afternoon I'll come."

Andi assented, sign of agreement. The two of them continued their intentions, leaving the room.

Andi sighed, until a kiss landed on her cheek. Andi looked slowly and found the boy smiling widely.

"Again dong." His ink, tapping his own cheek with his index finger.

"Can... But I have to heal. We're going for a walk."

"Ready...!" Andi gave a gesture of respect to the child, so as to make them chuckle.

Somewhere else...

Both were silent, in a car traveling at medium speed. Jennie already understood something, Excel is usually never this quiet when she is with him.

Until he started to pierce for a moment.

"Where are we going?" Glancing. "Mass?"

Excel pulled the car over and stopped. The road is a little quiet. With a few trees on his right and left side.

Jennie looked confused, the man just took off his seat belt and twisted his body slightly staring at Jennie.

"A.. Did I make a mistake?"

"Who...?" Ask Excel.

"What?"

"What means more to you, me? Or that guy?"

The deg...!

"Of course?"

"Never say if you're forced to," Excel stared seriously.

"Wait... Wait a minute, are you really mad at me right now?"

"Yes. I don't like him hugging you like that."

"Yes..."

Excel sighed, he sat back in his normal position.

"Forget it. I-i know... I'm not a man worthy of being his father." Look away, staring at the side glass.

"Are you beckoning, if you give up?" Hunus Jennie, while Excel turned back. "So just that, your fight? Seeing him hug me, you got your back?"

"It's not like that."

"I thought you were a persistent man, but you weren't." Jennie. "Is it wrong that I killed you?"

Excel fell silent, he felt stifled.

"I'm sorry. That's not what I mean."

"You gave up just because of that? How can you take my son's heart? While your heart is easy to shoulder."

"Jen... I'm not like that, I love you and Nara. I want you to live with me."

Jennie shook her head, she shed tears. Making Excel touch Jennie's shoulders.

"Hey... I was angry, I was jealous...! I'm not sincerely going back to her either."

"If you're not sincere I'm back with her, why are you talking inappropriate for Nara? And I've already dropped my choice on you!!"

Excel looked at his girl with a thin slanted smile.

"I told you, I chose you. How many times do I have to declare it."

'say... Try saying you love me Jen.' Inner Excel awaits.

"Yes, I have to say that I love you. Where is my self-worth." The story unconsciously.

Excel is widening its smile. He then approached the lips that were still talking non-stop in an annoyed tone. Then land a soft kiss. The girl was surprised, but slowly her eyes closed, just accepting that the lips of the two were blending together gently.
