Father to My Son

chapter 11

the next day, when Erin returned to work at the cafe, she heard the sound of pianica heard in the playground that she used to pass and also heard the sound of people singing together there. and when Erin walked and saw him there, it turned out the same as she saw the first time.Renaldi was playing pianica and singing with the children in the playground. Renaldi who saw Erin standing far in front of him, immediately waved his hand and they went to the cafe together

"why did you get here? shouldn't you be guarding the cafe?" ask Erin

"well, I was going to pick you up at home, but the kids pulled me up and just invited me to play like that."

"why pick me up, I can walk by myself anyway, did your mother tell you to?".

"no, it's of my own accord"

"lho? how come?"

"well, if I keep looking after the cafe, I'll definitely be told to by my mother again.especially when she asks about when she wants to have a family."

"oh, I see, it's only natural that your mother would ask that"

"uh uh? why are you defending him?"

"that means, your parents, can't wait to have grandchildren"

"but, I don't want to get married.I'm afraid I'll disappoint my partner later"

"ah, that's the last thing you'll think about."

"what do you mean?"

"Rangga used to be like that, but he tried to be sure that he could make me happy, and now look at me, even though Rangga is no longer here, she said, I can still smile here because sometimes I can see it when I'm alone"

"so, I see" while looking at Erin who was walking in front of him

at the cafe, Renaldi, who was waiting for customers to order from him, was seen only watching Erin who was serving customers there. and also seen Lita who returned to the cafe and was ordering on Renaldi

"hey! Aldi! what are you looking at?" ask Lita who is sitting on the table seat of the order

"uh, I'm sorry.what do you want to order?"

"i'll just order coffee."

Renaldi also made him coffee and provided it on his desk, and lita immediately drank the coffee

"Aldi! I need to talk to you when, your fate is closed" Lita said

"what are you talking about? lately you've been asking other people to talk, huh. don't you have any friends to talk to?"

"if you ask me to make up with you, I refuse" said Renaldi who made Lita stop for a while and then walk back

"what's Renaldi?" ask an officer at the cafe.

"it's okay."

when the cafe closed, it was seen Lita who had been waiting at table number 5. because it had been awaited since, finally Renaldi decided to talk to him

"what do you want to talk about, Lita?" said Renaldi while serving hot coffee in front of him

"thank you for the coffee, and you were right before, I did want to invite you to make up with me."

"why suddenly? have you found another one yet?"

"well, as you can see, I can't forget you."

"you know, if my parents didn't agree to it at all? why are you still insisting?"

"but can you give me a second chance to fix things before?"

"sorry, I can't"

"why? is that because of your new employee huh!?"

"what do you mean?"

"you like that guy named Erin, don't you?! I know that, even I didn't suspect that Erin likes you either."

"but, that!?"

"what am I, what less!?  I'm a rich man, different from that woman! anything I can buy for you! then, do you think that woman can give you something if she's just a waitress here!?" said Lita with a snarl while standing in front of Renaldi

"please stop Lita!" said Renaldi while holding onto both of Lita's shoulders

"what!? whyyy!? you're not willing to let your new employee down!?"

"enough! I don't want to see you let alone talk to you. Now you can go home" Renaldi said as she walked into her kitchen to help her mother.

Lita looks sorry to have said that which has taken her away from Renaldi. "why am I saying that which has even kept me away from her. what should I say later!?"
