Father to My Son

chapter. 14

later that night, Erin finally tells Raka the truth and Erin gets an unexpected answer, Raka says that she hates Erin a lot after Raka says it, Raka immediately cried and hugged her grandmother

and the next day, it was raining hard that day.then when the mother called Erin to have breakfast together, Erin was not in her room.His mother had been looking for her everywhere and never saw her too. finally I called Renaldi to see if Erin was there

"hello, Renaldi is Erin now at your place?" ask the worried mother

"no, Erin hasn't been here yet. Why?"

"right now, Erin's not home. I don't know where else to look."

"There's no urine? then I'll find Erin, right now" Renaldi hung up and immediately searched for Erin on his bike. Lita who saw him began to get more upset because Renaldi was getting closer to Erin

"why Aldi, would you like to find Erin? though he has a cafe that is quite crowded today, it turns out that girl is indeed annoying yes"

Renaldi had been looking for Erin everywhere but did not meet him either. he had been looking at the playground until Raka's school.plus the rain was so swift, making the view a little disturbed.

"where else, I'll look for Erin. if you're in my current position, Rangga. what are you going to do for your wife!?"

suddenly, in front of Renaldi he saw someone who was walking and very similar to Rangga from behind it. Renaldi follows him and the shadow leads him to a public funeral. Renaldi also looked around to make sure Erin was there, and it turned out to be true, Erin was standing in front of Rangga's tomb.

Renaldi immediately dropped his bike and ran towards Erin who was there and immediately hugged him

"r....The renaldi? what are you doing here?"

"where have you been, Erin!? everyone's worried about you, including me who's worried about you."

"sorry. I'm making you worry"

the rain finally subsided, and they took a break sitting on a garden chair close to the cafe

"so, why did you run away from your house, Erin? your mother was so worried you know!!"

"sorry, actually my mood is really messed up right now"

"uh uh? why?"

"hey? have you been honest with him? what did he answer?"

"She said she hated me and didn't want to see my face again"

"that's it. Raka can also say that to her mother" 

"it's okay for me. because it's also my fault, and I deserve it. If I were in Raka's current position, maybe I would have said that too, tomorrow will be father's day at the raka school, surely all his friends will bring their respective fathers and sing a song to his father.and if Raka still leaves for school, on that father's day...who would it be for if he was told by his teacher to sing on stage?" said Erin who was crying while covering her face

"already, Erin don't cry anymore, I can't stand it" Renaldi said as she hugged Erin tightly

mother and Raka, who were also looking for Erin, were finally able to find her with Renaldi at the park. Raka who saw him was crying and immediately hugged his mother

"mother, Raka apologized.... Raka does not hate mother at all, raka loves mother very much" said Raka while crying in his mother's arms

"Raka need not cry, just calm down, mother does not hate Raka at all" said Erin

"Renaldi, thank you, for looking for Erin for my mother" Erin's mother said

"yes, it's okay, after all, I also need Erin's energy to take care of my bustling cafe" Renaldi said

"mother tomorrow will come to my school right?" raka asked while wiping her tears

"but there's no father to accompany you there"

"it's okay for Raka, mom's enough"

"well, it seems like everything has been gathered yes.I want to go first my mother must be bothered today" said Renaldi who walked home

"Renaldi!" erin said that made Renaldi pause for a moment

"thank you for looking for me"

"well, it's okay!! tomorrow I'll be waiting for you at the cafe" said Renaldi who returned to walk home
