Part 85's
I sat in silence in his contract. He stared at a seedy photo showing a married couple, as well as a little girl smiling happily. He looked at the photo with sadness, until without him noticing his tears flowing profusely soaked his wrinkled face.
He saw a smile full of happiness from the face of Alissa and also his late wife. There looks their happiness when they were together first. However, all that happiness remains memories that can not be repeated. The wife he was supposed to look after and protect instead died of her own actions. While his daughter had to go through life with full suffering without the caress of his parents.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry for hurting you. I'm sorry, I'm sorry for hurting you," Dad said, gently wiping the photo.
Honestly, I'm so sorry to have ruined the happiness of his little family just for his own pleasure. He wanted to apologize and say everything to Alissa. However, just imagining it felt like he could not. She could not imagine how Alissa would feel if the mastermind behind her mother's death was her own Father.
But he also cannot hide everything. He also had to admit his mistake before Alissa heard that from someone else's mouth. I'm sure Alissa's feelings would be much more shattered if she knew it all from someone else's mouth. He tried to catch his breath and got up from his seat. He gets out of his small contract and rides his motorcycle to meet Axelle.
He was sure Axelle must have a way out of his problem. Dad accidentally calls Axelle and invites her to meet without Alissa. Honestly hearing the words Axelle's father felt offended. She was wondering why Dad wouldn't want her to take Alissa with him. Not wanting to think long, Axelle immediately brushed off all his thoughts and rode his motorcycle towards the place Dad promised.
Arriving at a park on the edge of the city, Axelle saw Dad sitting alone while staring at the lake in the park. Axelle got off the bike and walked over to Dad. He sat on the middle-aged man's sling and saw the man looking at a seedy photo as well as the jewelry box he had in his hand.
"Sorry! Axelle's late. Have you been waiting a long time?" axelle looked at Dad.
"It's okay! I just came, too," said Dad smiling.
Hearing Dad's words, Axelle Hanua smiled and looked at the photo in Dad's hand. He looked at the photo of the very cute little girl in the photo. From the girl's smile and gaze, Axelle could immediately guess if the little girl in the photo was his wife.
"What is a photo of Alissa? it turned out that she was very cute as a child" Axelle smiled.
"Yes! she's your wife. He's very funny, isn't he?" asked Dad smiling while continuing to look at the photo.
"Alissa used to smile happily. Even the smile you see in this photo never disappears from his face. She has a beautiful face like her mother, not just her face. But also he has a very beautiful heart, beyond the beauty of his face," said Dad smiling considering his happiness with his wife's son first.
"But everything was gone because of that incident" said Dad shed his tears.
"Genesis?" axelle asked, frowning.
"Alissa's mother died in an accident. When he went shopping to the market, he was hit to death" Dad explained as he stared straight ahead with his blank stare.
"And the one who hit him was Dad!" said Dad can no longer hold back his tears.
He put his hands together to cover his face while hiccuping. While Axelle could only look at Father in confusion. He can't digest Dad's words yet, he's trying to soak in Dad's nonsensical remarks.
"I mean Dad?" axelle looked at Dad in confusion.
"What!" axelle raised her voice a little.
Honestly speaking, he could not believe what he had just heard. A husband may kill his own wife. The wife who should be protected until the end of her life, even breathed her last in the hands of her own husband. What kind of husband is the man next to him, so he could kill his own wife just to be able to unite with other women.
"I'm sorry, Dad!" only those words can come out of Dad's mouth.
He did not even dare to raise his head. He kept his head down not daring to look at his daughter-in-law, he could not imagine if it happened to his daughter. His heart will be very broken.
"Why would you do that? doesn't it cross my conscience how Alissa would feel knowing this?" axelle asked looking at Dad with a look of disbelief.
"Dad knows! he'll be very angry. He'll hate you" said Dad, looking down full of guilt in his heart.
"Dad will make amends for father's mistakes. I'm going to turn myself in, to get all the punishment for all my mistakes" he said, staring fixedly at Axelle's face.
"Dad knows you're the man in charge. You can definitely take care of your daughter and replace father's duties. I trust my daughter to you, I beg you to take care of her. Don't you ever hurt him, because he's been suffering so much all this time. Please, if someday you're bored of him, please don't hurt him. Just give him back to me, because I'll gladly take him back, '" said Dad, looking at Axelle with a plea.
"Axelle promise! axelle will take care of your daughter, just like axelle is looking after her own axelle" she smiled as she countered.
"Please give this to him. He doesn't have a picture of his mother. I'm sure, by looking at this photo, he will feel happy," said Dad gave the photo in his hand to Axelle.
"And this! this is Alissa's mother's wedding ring. Please give this to Alissa, yes" said Dad, giving her a jewelry box containing the late mother's house of Alissa.
"Yes! axelle will give this to Alissa" Axelle said.
"One more! please apologize to him, father" said Dad hugging Axelle while trying to hold back his tears.
"Dad just calm down! I'll try to persuade Alissa to forgive all of Dad's mistakes" Axelle said in a hug.
"Daddy pamit! please take care of your daughter," said Dad, releasing Axelle's embrace and then stepping his legs away from Axelle.
Axelle could only stare at Dad's departure with sadness. He doesn't know what to say to Alissa later, he can't imagine how Alissa feels after knowing everything. However, he also could not hide this truth. He had to find the right time to tell Alissa everything.
