Mr. Park feels cornered. He grabbed his head with both hands, squeezing his hair firmly. He couldn't run, and he couldn't dodge anymore. He must be honest, all the secrets he has been hiding must be revealed.
“Appa!” Arkan called his father-in-law who had been silent since then while holding his head. She knew, and she understood that her father-in-law was in a dilemma right now.
Mr. Park straightened his body, his head also straightened, looking straight at Arkan. He sighed repeatedly, before opening his voice to tell her everything.
“All this just happened ..” Mr. Park paused his words for a moment. He took a deep breath, then went back to telling stories.
“20 Years ago when I first set foot in Jakarta, I met a beautiful woman named Rosita. At that time he became my personal assistant as well as my secretary. Rosita is a beautiful, independent and hardworking woman, which is what attracted me to her. But, I was self-conscious, and tried to bury my feelings because I was married and had a daughter. But the more I dodged and buried my feelings, the more they grew wider and more fertile. Long story short, it turns out my feelings do not clap one hand, Rosita apparently also likes it. Until I finally made a big and crazy decision in my entire life, I asked her to marry religiously, she wanted and agreed. But, after we got married, I had to go back to Korea, because both of my parents at that time had known about my relationship with Rosita. I wanted to go back to Jakarta, but both my parents threatened me to take my name off the heirs list and worse they threatened to kill Rosita. As a man who loves his partner, of course I do not want Rosita killed my own parents, until finally I decided to obey their request, leaving Rosita for good. We broke contact, until fate reunited us after 20 years had passed. And I did not expect my relationship with Rosita who was short to present a beautiful angel, namely Rose.” Mr. Park explains his life story to Arkan, with a feeling of unworthiness, tucked into a deep sadness and regret.
Arkan was silent, he felt tightness in his chest hearing the life story of his father-in-law. Arkan lowered his gaze, sighing long.
“Do you know Arkan, if time can be turned back, I want to fix everything, give a decent life to Rosita and Rose. Be a good husband and father to them. I'm so sorry, so sorry for everything.” Mr. Park sobbed sadly, bowing his head. A sense of tightness and regret was growing in his chest.
“So, Rose and my late wife ..”
“Iya .. You're right Arkan, they're both younger sisters and older siblings just different mothers. You're gonna marry your own sister-in-law, Arkan. I hope you can take care of Rose, and give her happiness. I beg you, this is a father's request for the happiness of his daughter. Again I beg you, please, please Rose, although I know that you were forced to marry her because of Mika,” said Mr. Park, pleading with Arkan. Mr. Park put his hands together in front of his chest, his gaze so clear, and full of pleadings.
“Appa, I do not love him, but I will try to make him happy,” replied Arkan honestly. Actually Arkan was very surprised after knowing all this reality. And it turns out he's going to marry his own sister-in-law. Arkan massaged his temple when his head suddenly dizzy. The world is very narrow.
“Thank you, Arkan. At least now I'm a little relieved that Rose is getting married to a good and responsible man like you.” Mr. Park is grateful that Arkan became his son-in-law for the second time. Arkan's assertive, responsible, well-established, and rich attitude in every way, keeps him from worrying about Rose's life going forward, as his daughter falls for the right man.
“Do Amma know about all this?” ask Arkan, seriously.
“No, he doesn't know. But, I will be honest with him,” replied Mr. Park.
“Faster, better, do not delay,” Arkan advice to his father-in-law.
Ck!
Arkan clucked in annoyance, making fun of his father-in-law who was not at all gentle. He moved from his seat, returning home to Mr. Park.
“Wait Arkan! I want to give you something.” Mr. Park reached into his wallet, then gave an ATM card to his son-in-law.
“What is this?” Arkan's eyebrows are linked to the ATM card that was thrust to him.
“Give it to Rose,” replied Mr. Park.
“I will support him! So save this card!” Arkan refused the ATM card, then immediately out of the Cafe with steady steps.
THE CHUCK!
From a distance there is someone photographing the meeting of Arkan and Mr. Park.
Whose that? Is it Mrs Park's man?
