It has been a week since the cancellation of the engagement that Khaira has not seen Alby again. Khaira has graduated college, and is only waiting for her graduation next month.
Papi Azril and daddy Kenzo ask why the proposal was delayed.
Azril is happy that someone is responsible for Khaira's life.
Khaira is currently in one of the cafes. He was alone without friends.
"What should I do, whether I should continue this proposal and engagement or cancel. If I cancel, Alby's mad and disappointed"
Khaira sat down pensively by herself. Since this week he has always been out of the house alone to eliminate confusion.
Khaira was shocked by what she saw. Diego walks into the cafe with a beautiful girl.
The girl slipped in Diego's arms with her pot.
Diego and the girl sit right in front of Khaira. The girl sat very close to Diego.
They look happy. I don't know what they said, they laughed together.
Khaira kept watching the girl and Diego. As Diego looked ahead, their eyes met.
Khaira turned her eyes away. And he stood up leaving the cafe.
Khaira went into the toilet and washed her face. He was able to cry.
"What makes me sad. I should have been happy because Diego was close to another girl. Isn't this what I want. I'll go too. Looks like I have to make that decision. I have to talk about this to Alby and Papi"
Khaira walked slowly out of the toilet. He was shocked when someone pulled his hand.
Diego takes Khaira to the cafe's backyard.
"Why did you end up canceling Alby's proposal"
"I didn't cancel, but postponed it until graduation. What is it" asked Khaira in a flat voice.
"Thank God you've finally considered my words"
"Diego, he's been talking. Ma'am wants to go home"
"Why did you run away after seeing me"
"Because I already want to go..."
"Not intentionally avoiding me...."
"Why should I avoid you"
"You're angry to see me with another girl"
"No, I'm just happy"
"What is that saying sincerely from your heart"
"Yes, Diego. When can you introduce him to mbak. Right now there's something to do. Ma'am farewell, greetings to my sister-in-law yes"
Khaira steps away from Diego to his car.
"Khaira, you don't know if that girl is indeed your sister-in-law's candidate. He's Atha's girlfriend...."
Khaira headed straight for her papa's study as soon as she got home.
He looked at his dreamy papa while looking at his mommy's photo.
"Papi.papi kangen mommy yes" said Khaira rose Azril's lap
"Darling, when you're coming home"
"Papi..kangen mommy" asked Khaira again.
"Every time papi always miss your mommy. It feels like he just left us yesterday. Still can papi feel your mommy's embrace"
"The cow loves mommy so much"
"Very...."
"But I want permission"
"I want to continue my studies out of town"
"Darling, you know that's impossible for you to grant. Papi has always said, papi does not want to be far from the children of papi"
"I got a scholarship to continue my S1 ,papi"
"The paper is still able to finance your college. Give the scholarship to those who need it more"
"But, it won't be long. Every semester I go home. Let me be independent"
"Self, does not mean to have to live apart from parents"
"But, please allow me this time"
"You had a fight with Alby"
"Why doesn't papi think so"
"Why did you arrive to delay the application and you are currently asking permission to study outside the city"
"That's all got nothing to do with it. The application will continue next month..."
"You're sure you're going to continue this proposal"
"Yes, why papi"
"The fire has heard all the stories about you and Diego from Atha"
Khaira let go of her embrace and descended from Azril's lap. He stood beside the chair that Azril occupied.
"But I have nothing to do with Diego"
"Are you sure of how you feel, son. Papi doesn't want you to make mistakes like you did with your mommy"
"What do you mean..."
"Sit on that couch, papi will tell you about the love story between papi, mommy and daddy you. All this time you only know if mommy was married to Daddy. But the truth is the story is not that simple. Papi made a lot of mistakes in his life. Maybe it's time you knew what ever happened between your papi, mommy and daddy"
Khiara sat on the sofa followed by Azril. It will tell about the mistakes he has made before, although not all of them. There are things that he must cover up so that Khaira does not hate him too much because of the mistakes he has made.
Azril tells if he had married and separated from his mommy because he had not realized if he loved his mommy. Mommy Khaira is married to Daddy. That's when he realized he loved Mommy so much. Fate finally returns mommy to papi.
Azril only told her the outline. It is not that he is selfish to cover up many of the crimes and mistakes he has committed against Alesha. But that's all so that Khaira doesn't feel sad for her mommy story . And he's not ready if Khaira hates him if she finds out what she did to her mommy.
"For that papi do not want you also regret later. You really don't have any feelings for Diego"
"I don't think so, pi. I just love Diego as his brother and sister"
"But I used to think so too"
"But, even if I had more feelings for Diego that would be impossible. My age and Diego are different. And I don't want Hanna's mom to be disappointed to know that Diego and I are in a relationship"
"What this means is that you actually love Diego too, only you don't want to disappoint daddy and mommy who already thinks you're like her own daughter"
"Fire.I don't know. Do I love Diego as a brother or a man. But I feel comfortable being around him. Help me, papi, let me go to college out of town for me to be sure what I'm feeling right now"
Khaira cried sobbing after saying that. Azril carried his daughter's body into an embrace.
"Darling, you can't avoid it like this. For sure, right now you have to cut off your relationship with Alby. Don't give her hope, if you don't have any feelings for her"
"I don't have the heart to decide Alby, he's too good"
"You'll hurt her more by giving her false hope."
"Papii.I don't know what to say to Alby's mas"
"You have to be honest, if you don't love her. Although he will be angry and disappointed, but it will not be long. It would be even more painful if he knew you were forced to accept his love just out of pity"
"Okay, papi, I'll meet Alby's mas as soon as possible. I hope Alby accepts my decision. But I'm still gonna ask permission to go to college out of town. And I want papi to hide this about my departure from anyone. Including Atha. I don't want Diego to know"
"Actually papi really objected away from you. But if this is the best for you, fine.papi allow"
"Papii.I love papi"
Khaira hugged Azril's body tightly, the papi she loved so much and was also proud of.
