Tomorrow. After returning home from work, Rose and Arkan sat in a corner of the cafe enjoying the orange juice that had just arrived at their table. Rose sipped her orange juice while glancing to the right and to the left fretfully.
"You look unsettled" Arkan said, stroking the back of his future wife's hand gently.
"Yes, I'm nervous. Some time ago I used to face Mr. Park, but this time it was different" Rose replied with a feeling of unease, then sipped her orange juice again, and then, then straightened his seat while squeezing his hands in turn.
"I understand how you feel." Arkan smiled then grabbed Rose's hand and held it tightly, channeling calmness to the beautiful woman.
Rose turned her head, looking at Arkan with a hard-to-explain gaze, "thank you, I feel a little calm now," Rose replied to Arkan's hand.
"Your hands are cold, is your body cold too? Would I warm it?" whispered Arkan right near the ear of his future wife. She accidentally teases Rose to get the woman out of the uncomfortable zone.
Rose squinted both eyes, staring in full search at Arkan, "why are you being such a pervert? Or maybe this is your true nature? Basic Wedus!" rose said very annoyed at this man beside her.
"I now know what Wedus means! So don't mess with me, Rose, otherwise .. I'll make you sigh all night in bed" whispered Arkan very frontally, then smiled pervertedly at his future wife.
Rose shuddered fearfully imagining Arkan's words when they were true, she immediately let go of Arkan's hand, then shifted her seat, slightly away from Arkan.
"I'm afraid to be close to you" said Rose, then suck the orange juice until it was not left.
"No problem! But, I have many ways that you can't get away from me!" reply Arkan then pull the chair sat by Rose until back near him.
"Ih! It sucks!" pissed off Rose, stared hard at Arkan.
The debate between the two men came to a standstill when Mr. Park was already present and joined one table with them.
"Hi, how's everything going?" greet Mr. Park when he sits in his chair. "I saw you guys were joking, why are you silent now?" asked Mr. Park while looking at Arkan and Rose alternately.
"We're good, Appa," Arkan replied, glancing at the gloomy-looking Rose.
"Emh .. I think I should go to the toilet for a minute." Arkan reasoned, wanting to give Rose space and Mr. Park spoke 4 eyes, then he stood up but Rose quickly held his hand.
Rose glanced at Arkan as she clasped the burly hand tightly, as if she did not want to be left behind. Inevitably, Arkan finally sat back while holding Rose's hand on his lap.
The awkward atmosphere between Mr. Park and Rose was very clearly visible.
"Hi, Rose, how are you?" asked Mr. Park, trying to melt the frozen atmosphere.
Rose looked at Mr. Park then nodded her head slowly, her usual bright and cheerful beautiful face now looking cold and gloomy.
Mr. Park gives Arkan the code to have Rose talk to him, but Arkan answers by raising both his shoulders simultaneously, as if he does not want to interfere with the matter, most importantly he was next to Rose and calmed his future wife.
Mr. Park took a deep breath, then attempted to establish an interaction with Rose.
Rose raised her bowed head, then looked at the middle-aged man who still looked handsome despite his age was no longer young. The line of authority is clearly visible on the handsome face of the man who turns out to be his real father.
"I'm not going to ask why you could leave me and my Mom, nor would I demand anything from you. From the past until this moment until this moment, my mother and I have lived happily without your presence. It's enough for me to know who my real father really is" Rose said coldly, staring flatly at Mr. Park, who appeared to be shrouded in guilt and remorse.
Mr. Park nodded while wiping his melted tears without asking. Rose's words were like a lash to her, her heart ached and it hurt a lot when she heard it. "I'm sorry, Dad, Rose, I really suckled everything, but I still love your mother so much. If time could be repeated, then I would .." Mr. Park's remark came to a halt when Rose cut him off.
"Please, don't bother my mother. He was happy with his life. Don't put my mom in the wrong position, because you have a wife who loves you so much." Rose cut Mr. Park's words firmly and steadfastly, though behind them lies a deep sense of sadness and disappointment in Mr. Park.
"Please live the life you deserve with Mrs Park ... Dad," Rose continued in a trembling voice and held back her tears as her tiny lips called Mr. Park 'Dad'.
Mr. Park sobbed sadly, massaging the base of his nose when he heard the word 'Father' from his daughter's lips which had been neglected. His chest felt tight as if he was on a big rock, as his guilt grew to surface.
Similarly to Rose, she also felt the same sense of tightness. But, the difference is, Rose has no regrets about all the words she's said to Mr. Park.
Arkan grasped Rose's hand very tightly, giving the beautiful woman strength.
"I think it's enough to get here to our meeting, thank you ... Dad, for taking the time to meet me," Rose politely told the middle-aged man.
"Wait, Rose! I know that my guilt cannot be atoned for with just an apology, so I will give some of Dad's possessions to you as a guilt-redeemer to you and your mother, too," mr Park said, It sounds very serious. She hoped that Rose would not refuse her gift, because with this she could atone for her guilt.
Rose smiled faintly, then she replied firmly, "no, Father, thank you very much for the offer," Rose replied without any hesitation.
"Alright, you may still be hesitant, but if you change your mind, then call Dad immediately, " replied Mr. Park with a feeling of unease.
Rose simply nodded in response because she did not know what to say.
"Dad can hug you?" Mr. Park looked at Rose expectantly.
Rose nodded accompanied with a faint smile.
Mr. Park was happy not to be a bitch, he immediately approached Rose and hugged her daughter very tightly, as if spilling all the longing so great. The atmosphere was so clear at the table. Rose cried in her father's arms for the first time. And the first time he also felt a hug from Dad that turned out to be very warm and so soothing.
"Hey! Don't take long to embrace her!" Arkan protest while forcibly removing the embrace. The atmosphere that had been created changed into an irritated atmosphere because Arkan ruined everything.
"Arkan, I'm hammering my own daughter!" Mr. Park did not accept.
"And this daughter of yours is my future wife! So I don't accept if Rose is hugged by another man, even if it's Appa," Arkan replied not to be outdone, and snubbed at his father-in-law.
"Shiba!" as Mr. Park stared intently at Arkan.
