Like Marrying a Boy
SMB 14S
"I know papa's not here, but I hope he knows that I miss him a lot. I wanted to hug her just once, even if only for a moment. I don't know when that'll happen." Agnes fell silent again holding back the chest that began to feel tight.
"If you want I'll take you to see Mr. Janu right now" Margaretha said. Agnes shook her head quickly.
"No need, Etha. I just wanted to tell papa. I'm sorry, Pa. I didn't see Papa not because I didn't love him, but I was just afraid of not being able to withstand everything. I'm afraid I'm gonna cry and it's gonna put your mind in there."
Many were crying there hearing Agnes' words. Including Margaretha and her friends who are currently holding Agnes' hand very tightly. They're trying to strengthen Agnes. It is trivial, but very heavy when passed.
"If I could be honest .. I miss papa so much. If asked to choose, I would prefer to have a small party even if it was only with papa. There's just the two of us in front of the birthday cake and papa will help me blow out the candles. That's what makes me happier." Agnes' words began to break from crying.
Gatra stared at the girl very closely. He wanted to go forward and embrace it. Clenched tightly to calm the girl. However, once again, Gatra had no right to do that. After all, there were companions who were accompanying her and she did not want them to be of public concern at this moment.
"After twenty-eight years, only this time did I feel deeply disappointed. If usually papa will give a surprise at twelve o'clock exactly. I don't know what his condition is going to come, but not for now. I have to get used to being without papa for a very long time. Pa, even though we never greet each other and exchange news, but I hope papa is always healthy there. We can let go of each other through prayers."
Agnes inhaled a deep breath to reduce the tightness that began to be felt in the chest. The girl's tears had washed all over her face.
"Not be put down again. I'm sure your papa will be sad if you're like this. You should always take care of your body, Nes." Margaretha was worried for herself. However, Agnes still showed a sweet smile even though the girl's gaze could not lie to everyone. Look at the eyes full of wounds.
"Thank you, Etha. You've been kind enough to give my dad a second chance. You have forgiven him. I'm so grateful to have met a woman as good as you."
"Together, Nes."
The two women embraced each other, followed by Margaretha's other three friends.
"certain. Although heavy. Heavier than missing Dilan for Milea." Agnes chuckled although there were still tears on her face.
"You are just there." Margaret hugged Agnes. "Is there anything you want to talk about here?" tanyakanya. Agnes shook her head weakly.
"Mar, just give me the next surprise. Than later." Rasya speaking. The distended woman also wiped away the tears on her face.
"What surprise again? Are you going to give me a really big cake?" ask Agnes curiously. Staring at the four friends Somplak alternately. But they just smile.
Agnes was silent when she heard the sound of her birthday song echoing there. Accompanied by a very loud applause. Agnes who was just sad was now smiling again when she saw someone pushing a trolley on which there was a very large and tall birthday cake.
Agnes's eyeballs until fully rounded and did not expect to get such a big cake.
"Etha, this is huge. I can't afford to spend this cake alone." Agnes shook her head in disbelief.
"Who told you to spend it alone" Margaretha said. Agnes just showed me a string of white teeth and then clapped her hands when the birthday cake was in front of her. His gaze was so enthusiastic that he did not realize that the man driving the trolley had been looking at him fixedly.
Agnes turned her head, about to ask for a knife to the man driving the trolley wearing the mask. However, when he saw the look in the eyes of the man made Agnes speechless right then and there. He felt very familiar with his eyes. Like the gaze of someone who always looks at him lovingly. While still silent with her thoughts, Agnes was stunned when she saw the man slowly open his mask.
"Pa-papa."
