Father to My Son

chapter. 13

finally after all those customers left, Erin could stretch her body and put her head on the queue table.

"ah... finally finished too. I'm tired of it" said Erin.

"do you look tired, new employee?" said a man who gave Erin a cup of tea.

"who areyou?" erin asked with her flat face

"hey? so aldi has never told you about me, huh!? look out for you, aldi!!" the man suddenly nodded when he found out

"so? who're you?"

"well, my name is Rivaldo beny, commonly called Aldo" he said as he tidied his hair

and when aldo introduces himself to Erin, the new Renaldi pulls Erin in and invites her to clean up the messy table.

"woi!! Aldi I talked to him again!!!" aldo shouted from the table as he threw the renandi head tissue box

"uh uh? whose fault is not focus?" said Renaldi

"s ..have it, don't argue" said Erin who tried to calm the hot atmosphere.

after returning from the cafe, it happened that Erin and Aldo went home and finally they went home together.

"the Aldi sucks.he always cuts off other people's conversations."

"you look so familiar, are you childhood friends?"

"uh uh? uh ....i.iya that's how we used to be three friends."

"other than the two of you, who's the other one?"

"that's right, our other friend has died in an accident" said Aldo, who suddenly lowered his head

"that's it, I'm sorry"

"yes, our other friend is arguably already successful and mature enough that even he was married I began to envy him for being able to get a woman"

"what's his name?"

"his name is Rangga"

"The ladder!?" Erin was suddenly shocked to hear it and fell down while walking

"Erin's? you all right? are you feeling dizzy?" said Aldi while holding Erin's shoulder

"it's okay.I just feel tired" Erin woke up and walked back to her house..

the next day, when Raka had just returned from Kindergarten, she had the idea to visit her mother who worked in a cafe with her grandmother when she arrived there, it looks Erin who is wiping the glass and immediately welcomed Raka's arrival there

"Erin, are you done?" ask Erin's mom

"i don't think my job here is done yet" Erin said

"so, yeah"

"mother, there's something I want to show my mother" Raka said

"what's that?"

"in a moment, there'll be a father's day at school I'll sing a song for dad."

"father's day, huh?"

"so, when can you come home from that job!?"

"about that, it seems like I'm still busy Raka. So I don't think I can go home."

Raka, who had been smiling widely, suddenly lowered her head and did not smile anymore

"dad is busy then it's okay" Raka said as she walked out of the cafe.

"Erin, maybe I think you should stop lying to your son again" she said

"sorry, my mother has not been able to give him a good father.if I tell the truth, is it possible that Raka will hate me?"

"it's just advice from mom, want to get to when you lie and the others you take care of later" said the mother as she walked following the raka

"yes mother"

after the cafe closed, Renaldi saw Erin who just stayed at the queue table approaching him and sat beside him.

"your mind seems to be heavy, doesn't it Erin?"

"yes, that's how it is"

"i heard what you were talking about with your son earlier"

"some can only hear it can't do anything"

"i understand, what do you feel right now. Besides why do you always cover up the truth about your husband?"

"i don't know what I'm really doing, but, I'm so sorry"

"no regrets like that, I'm sure if you told me the truth that it was for his own good, he wouldn't be angry" Renaldi said as he walked into the kitchen

"maybe, Renaldi is right. I have to say it."
