I'm Pursuing Your Love

Bickering

Meili threw her back on the back of the bed. After he had just returned home from graduation at his school.

The look on his face was not as bright as usual, of course because of the unsatisfactory end result. Even though he has been declared a graduate, but he is still angry.

What became his biggest fear now was seeing the reaction of his father who he had made sure would be angry.

But he had to how else, he had tried his hardest.

"Later, it must hurt again." Imagine the feeling that has always been the same in every report taking, especially now is graduation day. He could imagine that it would hurt more than usual.

Until nightfall, Irfan actually just arrived home. Tiredness was clearly visible on his face.

His eyes accidentally caught the presence of his daughter who was enjoying a television show, and it made him remember what the headmaster said last afternoon.

When he asked the results of his daughter's grades, the results were still the same as before.

Of course it made a sense of anger enveloped him, in addition to the fatigue he now felt increasingly making him grow.

That steady step led to where his daughter was now.

"Meili." The baritone's voice clearly shocked Meili. He immediately turned to the direction of the origin of the voice that turned out his father was standing firmly with sharp eyes. It instantly made his body stiffen. "Pa," she said.

Meili can already guess if his Papa will discuss about his graduation.

"Meili Papa has heard the results of your final grades from the principal" Irfan said.

Meili can only be silent, the reality is not worth as his papa wants.

"Papa said, you should be able to be better Meili!" Irfan's chest was a bit of a hunt, anger was now mixed with disappointment. "Why is it always like this! You are the son of the foundation owner. So you should be an example instead of embarrassing." Irfan's voice blared to the corner of the room.

The aunt who had intended to rest for a moment was stunned, and how shocked they were to see the father and son were in such a bad situation.

Actually they are sorry for the fate of the lady, but they are just a worker who is unable to defend her.

As hard as Meili's heart held the pain that began to appear, even though this had happened for the umpteenth time but the taste was always the same. "Sorry Pa," she said.

Her beautiful eyes could not look at Irfan.

"You always say sorry, but you always repeat again and again." The longer Irfan's voice grew higher, as if it represented what he was feeling now. "If it's better that you don't go to college, you just get married like your friend. That's better." he snapped.

Meili immediately raised her gaze, she shook her head. "No Pa, Meili won't." He did not think of getting married easily.

Although he saw his best friend who was happy with his marriage, but he did not want to be like that. He still wants to pursue his ideals.

"Keep what you want? If you go to college, the results will be the same. Waste of time." The words that came out of Irfan's mouth grew increasingly uncontrollable. Because for business people like himself time means a lot, is not their slogan is indeed time is money.

But what Irfan forgot was, precious time with his daughter that he had long forgotten.

One drop of Meili's tears just flowed, how heartless his papa said that to him. Shouldn't his father feel guilty because they've been exchanging their time together with his work. "Is Papa conscious, if Papa's words are so painful for Meili?" His lips trembled withstanding the deep pain. For the first time he spoke like this.

"If you feel pain with Papa's words, you should show me if you can be what Papa wants to be." Irfan seemed to not care about his daughter's sad gaze. He breathed his rough breath. "Papa's decision is still the same, if you don't want to follow Papa's wishes! Please choose your own path."

Irfan put his foot away after saying that.

"Is Papa not satisfied to see my life without Mama?" Meili's words managed to make Irfan stop.

"Because Meili doesn't know, Meili never asks why Papa and Mama separated." Meili sobbed, she remembered where that day was a very painful day for her. "And Meili has to live where Meili has to live without Mama's affection."

"At that time Meili tried to be heartened to accept Meili's circumstances, living with separated parents. Because Meili is sure your love will never change for Meili, but the truth is you're SELFISH." The feeling that he had been craving all this time unconsciously came out just like that.

The rain that night was like Meili's heart now, the wounds he had felt now had to be reopened.

"You're only concerned about your hurt feelings without thinking about how Meili feels."

"Mama lived happily with her new family, and forgot her biological child."

"With Papa! Papa could trade time with his daughter for a job."

The girl's cry broke even more after revealing her heart.

Plaque.

One slap landed right on Meili's smooth cheek.

"Originally you know that Papa works for you too!" Irfan.

Meili shook her head, feeling disapproval of her papa. "No, everything Papa did wasn't for Meili. But to Papa himself."

Irfan's hand immediately floated into the air, preparing to return he lay it on his daughter's cheek. But he came to a halt when he found his daughter now staring at him fearlessly.

"Is this how Papa will be satisfied?" ask Meili. "If Papa and Mama don't care about Meili, why don't you just throw Meili away so as not to make a burden for you!!" Meili was really tired of her life.

Irfan's hands clenched tightly, but after that he chose to leave his daughter who was crying bitterly.

Seeing his Papa's departure, it further broke his heart. Can't his papa say sorry to him for the pain they've given him.

Meili ran out of the house, he got into his car and drove away from there. The cry of Mang Didin was not heeded.

His car broke through the rain that night, occasionally hitting his chest that felt tight. "Why are you giving me this deep wound?"

A while driving his car without direction did not make Meili's cries stop. Until then the car was a little shrewd, which made him have to pull over.

Regardless of the heavy rain, he got out of his car. Turns out the front tire of his car was leaking.

"Let'soo!!" meili shouted while kicking her car tire. Why is bad luck now overflowing him, is not enough God gave a wound in his heart until now he was struck by bad luck again.

Especially now that the car stopped in a fairly quiet area.

He was sitting on the sidewalk right next to his car, his tears now mixed with rain that began to wet him.

A while later without Meili realizing there was someone approaching her. "Why are you here, you'll get sick?"

Meili raised her gaze, looking at the person standing in front of her while carrying an umbrella.
