171. Forgive Dad ...

Hilya flinched as Nathan touched her waist and called out her name gently.

"Darling, I did it anyway. Your dad said you just now" Nathan said.

"Oh, uh i-iya. Ha-hai Father. How are you ?" hilya asked nervously while still standing upright without welcoming Heri's helping hand.

Heri seemed to smile wryly realizing his hand was not welcomed. He lowered his palm hanging in the air as soon as possible and smiled.

"Father is fine Hilya. I'm glad to see you happy. Hope it continues like this, son. You deserve it" Heri said in a trembling voice.

"Yes, thank you ...," said Hilya reluctantly.

Seeing the tension between Hilya and her in-laws made Nathan uncomfortable. He asked Hilya to accompany Heri for a while because she was sure there was something they had to finish.

"I can't go out and you're alone here, honey. We have many guests" Hilya said, whispering.

"I know. But try to see your father. Can't you catch the anxiety in his eyes ?. Daddy misses you. And apparently someone wants to talk to you. I know you're still mad at your father's abandonment. But can you forget for a moment your anger and hear what your father wants to say ?. Try to make peace with your past so that you can meet the future with an airy heart. Come on, dear. Do it for me yeah, please ...," Nathan's plea solemnly.

Hilya mende*sah was upset to hear Nathan's words. But she also did not want to disappoint the man who is now her husband. Hilya reluctantly nodded and brought the father down from the pelaminan to a place.

All eyes looked at Hilya with a clueless look. But when the MC said the bride was going to the toilet, the guests nodded. Especially when down Hilya assisted by two WO employees. The European-style wedding dress that Hilya wore was difficult enough that she needed help when stepping.

Slowly Hilya stepped to the side of the building and stopped stepping when she arrived at the terrace. The cold night wind grew colder for Hilya.

"Leave me here Ma'am. I want to talk to My Father for a minute" Hilya told two WO women who helped her.

"good. If it's finished, Sister Hilya can call us yes," said one of the WO employees with a friendly.

"Ok, thank you ...," Hilya said sincerely.

"Sama-sama," said the two WO sisters as they passed.

For a moment there was no conversation between Hilya and her father. Both of them are silent as if they are arranging a series of words in their heads so that they can be issued into beautiful sentences and worth hearing.

Hilya who stood her back to her father finally relented and opened the conversation first.

"I'm glad you came to my wedding. I don't think you remember having a daughter named Hilya here" Hilya said after gathering courage.

"Of course I remember you, Hilya. You are the only Child I have. Forgive me for coming late" said Heri Lirih.

Heri's words made Hilya's eyes widen in disbelief. For as he remembered the father had three sons from the woman he married after the mother.

Hilya turned her body so that she could look at the father. At that time Hilya tried to control her anger because she did not want to make a scene at her wedding.

"Ga need drama. How could you say you only have me as your Father's Son. Though clearly Father's Wife managed to give birth to three sons in your marriage !" hilya was upset.

"But they are not my Son and not your Brother Hilya !. The woman cheated on him with several men, resulting in three boys whose faces and skin were also different from each other. I understand at last how my three children do not resemble me at all. Unfortunately, I found out too late and now I'm sorry" Heri said in a trembling voice.

"Repent because of being cheated on or ...," Hilya's speech was interrupted.

"Repent for leaving your mother and following my family's wishes. If Dad had stayed, maybe Dad would have been the happiest person in the world today because he had a daughter as beautiful and as smart as you are Hilya" Heri said in a regretful tone.

"I'm sorry, son. Sorry ...," said Heri sobbing.

"Why Daddy is so mean to me and Mom. Why Well ?. And I and Mom are sincere if Dad wants to get married again. But why did you just go and divorce Mom ?" hilya groaned while crying.

Heri hugged Hilya. At first he doubted. But when he did not get a rejection from Hilya, Heri also tightened his embrace.

After a moment of hugging Hilya, Heri broke her embrace. He looked at Hilya with a deep and longing gaze.

"Dad please forgive me, dear. I love you Hilya. Really am. I've been wanting to meet and talk to you a lot for a long time" said Heri Lirih.

"Dad knows where I live and work. Why does it come to me ?. Don't tell me you're afraid of that woman, so you never wanted to see me this whole time ?" ask Hilya sadly.

"Dad ... only fear you refuse Hilya. Father has made your heart hurt. It must be hard for you to accept Dad back" Heri said with a bitter smile.

"But finally Dad came today too" Hilya said quickly.

"That's an exception. Because this is to fulfill my own vows" Heri said.

"Oath ?" hilya's birthday doesn't understand.

"Yes. I swore I'd come to your wedding, Hilya. Even if you reject me or the world opposes me, I don't care. And I'm happy to see you with the right guy" Heri said, wiping Hilya's head fondly.

Heri's words moved Hilya. He hugged his father again. Hilya could not understand where all the hatred that filled her heart had been. That night Hilya just wanted to spill all her longing on the father who had long ignored her.

"Father this taste is quite Hilya. Don't you still have to accompany your Husband at the wedding to welcome the guests ?" ask Heri.

Hilya flinched then broke her embrace.

"Astaghfirullah aladziim. Let's go inside Well," Hilya asked.

"Come on Hilya. I still want to be here any minute. And tell your husband, what's his name ?" ask Heri.

"Nathan Yah," said Hilya quickly.

"OKs. Please tell Nathan, I trust you to him. I'm sure Nathan will give you the happiness you never could give me" Heri said with a smile.

Hilya nodded then turned her body and prepared to step.

"I still want to talk to Dad a lot, but I can't because I have to go back inside. I promise I will prepare a special time to be able to meet Dad and We talk again later," said Hilya with a smile once again towards his father.

"Yes, son" said Heri with a smile.

Hilya hurried in. At the doorstep the two WO employees looked alert and helped Hilya back to the guarantee.

While stepping Hilya took the time to look back to smile at the father. Hilya asks her father to go to the other side of the building to enjoy a meal at her wedding.

Then Hilya came back to the pelaminan with a happy glowing face. Nathan greeted him with a sweet smile.
