I'm the One who's hurting

Finally, Restu Has Arrived

After the departure of Kuncoro and his family, Prakoso called Sofie du his study, Ratih who waited outside looking anxious, he walked back and forth in panic

"What you did here madam" said Hendra, which made Ratih surprised to stroke his own chest

"Sir Hendra, just ngagetin, that's my husband inside with my son, I'm afraid... "

"Mrs calm down, Mr. Prakoso seems to have given Sofie's blessing with Mr. Andre, he asked me to provide accurate information about Mr. Andre, and this information will add to make him soft on Mr. Andre" Hendra smiled broadly trying to calm Ratih

"Pak Hendra thanks" ucao Ratih then walked into the kitchen with a smile of relief, he made drinks for his beloved husband and his favorite daughter, not to forget also pieces for them

"The end of your happiness will come, son, mama will make sure you marry the man of your choice and live happily ever after" murmured Ratih

While in the Prakoso workspace

"Papa would ask you, do you love Andre? answer honestly"

"Iiiya pa, sorry" said Sofie lowered her head

Prakoso looked at his daughter who kept her head down, then let out a long sigh, he recalled Kuncoro's words earlier this afternoon and Suryo's words some time ago, he felt that now was the time he had to disappear his ego and was heartened to accept his daughter's choice

"Call him, call him to see papa later tonight invite him to dinner at our house" said Prakoso finally

"Apa what? " ask Sofie to make sure her hearing

"Act Andre home for dinner, papa needs to talk to him with four eyes" Prakoso said again

"Thank you pa" said Sofie approached his father and hugged him, Prakoso was devastated, he now realized that his actions had made his daughter difficult and he also realized his daughter's feelings only for the man, he was, but Sofie relented in order to serve him

"I'm sorry selfish papa, son, you're so sorry" Prakoso said as he stroked Sofie's hair

"There's a lot of pa" Sofie said

Suddenly the door of the workspace opened, enter Ratih with a tray containing drinks and cut fruit

"Let's go papa, baby drink first, you must need a fresh one" said Ratih smiled broadly at the two people he loved now have made peace with their respective feelings

Sofie hugged Ratih

"Thank you ma" said Sofie softly, her tears seeping out, happy tears

Rati looked at her husband

"Thank you dear" he said without a sound

"Have not been sad, papa and mama have approved you, you do not have to worry anymore if you want to accept Andre as your companion" said Ratih while wiping off Sofie's tears

"Thank you God, I finally saw my mistake, the spirit that the man may become the priest of the afterlife for my daughter" Prakoso murmured in his heart

Day

Andre had arrived at the Prakoso residence since seven o'clock earlier, when they were talking in the family room, there was a tense look on Andre's face

"Let's go baby, help mama prepare dinner, let your papa with son Andre" said Ratih holding Sofie's hand, they headed to the dining room, now live Andre and Prakoso

"So Andre, I want to ask you something serious.

Do you love your son? "

"I love Sofie with all my heart"

"What if you don't approve? " prakoso asked, looking intently at the man his daughter chose

"I will fight for it until om approve, for us, parental blessing is our initial capital to step up seriously, both Sofie and Andre want our steps in the future full of blessings because of the blessing of parents"

"Om blessing" said Prakoso slowly

"Maaa.m thank you" said Andre with a smile on his face

"But..... " Prakoso hung up his sentence, making Andre hold his breath waiting for him to continue his sentence

"Andre promised om, if Andre denies, om can do anything to Andre" replied Andre full of confidence

"Alright, om hold your words" said Prakoso

Andre was relieved, finally Prakoso bless his relationship with Sofie, he drank a warm tea prepared Sofie to just wet his dry throat

"So when is your family planning to propose to your child?" tanya Prakoso casually sips coffee

Andre choked on the drink he was drinking did not expect Prakoso would raise a question that quickly

"Uhuk uhuk, sorry om, Andre will negotiate with both Andre's parents" said Andre wiping his mouth

"Faster, better, om wait for news as soon as possible, do not say if your parents do not agree with princess om" Prakoso pointedly

"Thank God they agree om, Andre has told them"

"Did they not blame Sofie's status? being a widow is not an option, just a situation that urges someone" said Prakoso Lirih considering the incident the other day when his son was injured

"Andre accepts Sofie as she is, Andre loves Sofie no matter his status"

"Om loves him so much, om just wants the best for his future, om don't want to see him suffer, om hope he can be happy with you" Prakoso sighed

"Andre understands om's concern, please put your trust in Andre just a little bit, Andre will prove it to om" Prakoso nodded

"Let's have dinner" Prakoso asked, then he moved from his seat to follow Andre, they had dinner together for the first time without burden

After dinner, Prakoso chose to continue his work back to the workspace accompanied by Ratih, now living Andre and Sofie in the family room

"Darling, why don't you tell me your papa has blessed our relationship? you made me hang" Andre said sulked

"I know my future husband, a tough guy, so it'd be better if you heard it yourself from papa" Sofie smiled at Andre

"Did you know? papa asked me to please you immediately" said Andre pulled Sofie and hugged him

"Masss, papa and mama will see, shame" Sofie whispered

"Eh what mas? papa wants us...? " Andre nodded quickly

"This week I'm taking you to see my parents"

"Mas, Sofie is not ready" said Sofie lowered her head, she was afraid Andre's parents viewed her status as a widow

"You're afraid mama and papa won't agree because of my status? I've fought for you in front of your papa, don't you want to fight for me? trust me, my parents are open-minded, you don't have to be afraid of me" said Andre holding Sofie's hand tightly

In esokan day

The Andre family

"So this week you're gonna bring Sofie here, baby? " asked Mirna sparkling, for a long time he had not seen Andre bring the woman home

"Yes ma, as Andre has told mama and papa, Andre loves him without seeing his status, Andre hopes, papa and mama can accept and love Sofie" Andre looked expectantly at his parents

Bagaskara was seen sighing heavily, he did not agree with his son who had failed to marry, he hoped his son got a better woman than Sofie

"Have you made up your mind about marrying her? won't you be disappointed because of him... " Bagas hangs his sentence breathing heavily

"What do you mean because Sofie's a widow? what's wrong with his status, it's not his will, if you can choose no one wants to hold that status pa, Andre loves him sincerely and wants him to be Andre's companion, Andre, Andre please papa give us his blessing" said Andre with a pleading gaze

"Mas, mas, do you not reflect on yourself, the fruit not far from the tree, from which the stubbornness of your son is passed down and you also inherit one more trait in your son, once he loves someone, then he will love that person forever, didn't you used to be like that? how many times have I rejected your love... " Bagas immediately smothered his wife's mouth and grimaced in embarrassment

"Mama stop, stop yes yes papa agrees, do not open the disgrace of papa" whispered Bagas softly at Mirna, while Mirna winked one eye at Andre, making Andre smother his mouth holding laughter at the behavior of his parents

"Ehmmm, papa agrees, take him home, papa wants to see, how good the woman can make papa's son bend his knees" said Bagas neutralizing his feelings

"Well, thank you" said Andre happily
