Love Comes Too Late
The Part 52
Alifa agreed to Deon for dinner at the agreed place and time.
Tonight, Alifa looks very beautiful.Contrast with her office clothes suit that often uses a span skirt or her baggy pants.But, for tonight Alifa uses a kebaya robe.Very suitable for her elegant and calm personality.
Alifa as usual always use public transportation services.Similar to angkot, but for now Alifa must spend a considerable amount of money for the size of a frugal person like this Alifa.Yah,the rates set by angkot and taxi drivers are very different.However, it must be done by Alifa.Drmi avoid the same thing.
"Hi,Alifa.I'm here". Shouted Deon calling the name of Alifa when he found Alifa in a daze looking for her whereabouts.
Alifa showed her best smile in reply.Step foot towards the table ordered by Deon.
"Assalamu'alaikum mr. Deon, has been waiting a long time".Greetings Alifa gave as a pleasantries.
"Waalaikum salam Alifa,gak lama.I also just came.Please enjoy the dinner meal".Deon gently pulled out a chair to sit on by Alifa.
"Thank you".Alifa sat perfectly on her chair.Very graceful and pleasant to look at.
Silent, no one started the conversation between the two.Deon was busy with his smartphone exchanging messages with his lover, Samantha.
"Sorry, I'm late".Said one of the men.
Alifa rounded her eyes when she knew the person she missed and the person she hated.Standing haughtily, she looked at herself with the same gaze as when she was evicted from her family home.
"You here?".Alifa did not mention the man who was her biological father as father.
"Of course, son, weren't you told by your boss?".Now Alifa and mr.smit are staring at deon.
Deon smiled, pleasing the father and son to sit back.
But, Alifa still stood.Tak Sudi sat semeja with his biological father.
"Sit down Alifa".Sentak Deon's.
"You invited him?, did you also deliberately bring us together?".Alifa leaned Deon with many questions.Kalah healthynya not able to work normally.
Deon nodded."Ja".
"Why?".
"Why are you doing all this.Why?".Alifa snapped violently at Deon, there was no soft side in his show.It invites a lot of attention from visitors.Seeing sharply at them, rags are heard talking about them.
Alifa ran as far as she could, not expecting Deon's surprise against her.
Deon, of course, did not stay silent.She continued to pursue Alifa.Tak want, his plan that has been designed long ago must again fail.Egois once Deon this, Deon,not thinking about the feelings of Alifa who was still not ready to meet her parents.
"Why are you following me".Alifa stopped her steps just as she was in the courtyard of the cafe.
"For, I want you to make peace.Start today, and this very second".
"CK, trust yourself very much".Alifa was grieving, underestimating Deon's ability.
"I'm sorry, I've been looking for you and your family.I was immediately curious when I realized that you and mr.smith had almost similar faces.I'm sorry, I've been defiantly scraping information about you".Sesal Deon's.
"And you want to reconcile us, solve our problems?, not that easy deon.Our problem is not as simple as what you think".
"What's wrong with making peace, Alifa.However he is your parent".
"It's not that easy.You think your problem.Trivile problems that can only be solved with an apology.Unfortunately, not that easy.Not all problems can be solved with an apology only".Alifa poured out her heart while sobbing sobbing sobbing.Tak strong said the most sensitive thing for him.
"I'm sorry Alfah".Deon said as he stepped step by step.
"Pardon Alifa, embrace the pain, make peace with the past so that happiness is created in your life."Deon stopped his steps that were two steps away from the distance Alifa was standing.
"Unfortunately it's not that easy Deon, there are problems that can not be solved.Tak all can be solved with an apology.I who for five years had to fight alone, I have to fight for myself,pain must also be healed by myself.I was in poverty by my own father.Forcing me to fight alone without anyone accompanying.I survive by relying on myself.Now you easily say forgive".The more tight Alifa's chest, until sitting in tears.
Deon, hugging tightly into the stumpy body, gives strength to the fragile soul but tries to look tough.
"I know, it's very difficult for you.But, what's wrong with you little by little remove the hatred that has long existed in your heart".Deon stroked the back of Alifa.Hati conscience moved to see Alifa unceasingly crying.
Behind the transparent glass that connects the room with the cafe courtyard, stands a middle-aged man staring sadly at the princess who had been far from his life.
"I'm sorry son, I'm so sorry".His murmur was soft, choked by tears.
