Love is Named Us

Attitudes That Start to Soften

Gafi returned to his office after his marriage was over. There is no time for him to rest because the work that has been scheduled is solid before the wedding later.

“ Good afternoon, Mr. Director,” greet Jenny when she sees the Director coming in.

“ You're still here?” gafi asked while looking at his watch. “ Isn't it time you came home? why are you still here? do you want to be overtime with me?”

“ Bu-not so Director, it is indeed time for me to go home. But...I can not go home, because there is a Master in the room.”

“ Papa...ada in there?” point Gafi.

“ Yes, Sir is inside. Already since Mr. waiting, whereas I had said that the Director would be long back to the office, but Mr. still forced to wait until you came.”

What else is Papa going to do this time, his inner self.

“ Yes already, you just go home. But, before that do not forget to contact Aril to come to my room later.”

“ Good, Mr. Director.”

...****...

Gafi entered the room.

His father, who had been waiting for a long time, smiled as soon as he saw his son appear.

“ Why didn't Papa contact Gafi if he was coming here?”

“ If Papa calls you, you will definitely avoid Papa.”

“ Why Papa thinks like that,” chirped him in passing.

“ Anyway where have you been? why leave your office so long, ha!”

“ Of course takes care of the wedding, Pa. After all this office will not be lost if Gafi does not exist.”

“ What wedding! Papa doesn't approve of your marriage. Your mom and sister warned you about that woman, right?”

“ Ha...already Pa, Gafi is not a child anymore. Gafi has decided to marry Yuna and will remain that way.”

“ Papa will approve your marriage if it is with Diana.”

“ Diana again-Diana again. Why is this family so obsessed with him. If Gafi did want him, there was no way Gafi would marry Yuna. Why Papa doesn't want to understand.”

“ Diana was Papa's business friend's son. Our family has been in business for a long time with the Diana family. Papa also knows the ins and outs of that family. If you marry her, Papa will feel calm.”

“ Why isn't Papa the one who married her?”

“ Gafi! watch your talk!”

“ Ha...” Gafi sighs heavily. He knew it would be like this when he met his father.

“ You go back to Papa's company and marry Diana. That will further strengthen the spurs of our company.”

“ Pa, can't we discuss anything else. Why Papa can not understand what is the cause of Gafi does not want to be in the company Papa.”

“ Gafi, think carefully, you will replace Papa there. That's your company too.”

“ Replacing Papa or being a puppet there. Don't take Gafi into Papa's business vortex, Gafi won't marry Diana or Papa's chosen woman.”

“ Gafi!”

“ Here's what Gafi doesn't like, Pa. Papa always mixes business with family. That's why Gafi didn't want to be there. Gafi is in the company of aunts because business is business and family is family. Aunty appreciates that but Papa's not like that. Papa has changed a lot since marrying again and that has been said many times. But, Papa never realized and always denied.”

“ Your mind is too narrow, son. Nothing has changed from your father.”

“ Yes..Papa will always deny anything Gafi says. We've been like water and oil, Pa, never going to merge. So, please don't drown out Gafi's life on this one.”

“ You have separated from your family since your mother died. You decide to go and do whatever you want. Did Papa ever forbid you from that. Papa just asked you to follow Papa's wishes this time, is that wrong?”

“ Wrong," he replied firmly. " It is true that Gafi separated himself from the family. But, Papa never knew why Gafi did that, did he? Gafi gave up on Papa. Gafi is not a statue that has no heart. If only Papa knew what Papa's wife was doing, ah...for what Gafi told him because the result Papa would not believe.”

“ Feels like it ever happened.” Gafi stared at the ceiling. “ Don't Papa feel like this ever happened? the question was too familiar to the ears. What Gafi saw from Yuna was indeed invisible to Papa. Aren't we the same?”

“ Gafi..he is your Mama, it seems you have not been able to accept the state of our family.”

“ Never will, Pa. But..at least Gafi has done the task as a child even though only a role.” Gafi looked at his father. “ Gafi is tired every time we meet just a fight that happens, it's also something that is not important, Pa.”

“ Papa doesn't want to fight with you either, son. Papa just wants the best for you including the matter of life.”

“ Gafi understands, Pa. But, if not with Yuna, there would have never been another woman. “

“ Papa doesn't understand why you're so defensive of Yuna. Papa thinks you're still thinking about your ex-wife, but it turns out you've forgotten her. Good, at least this is what is best for you.”

“ Don't call it again, Pa. Gafi doesn't want to hear it.”

“ Alright, Son. Do what you want. Papa also does not want your Mama there to hate Papa because it has hindered the wishes of his favorite son. But, that does not mean the blessing of Papa you cantongi. Papa can't give you that yet.”

Gafi nodded his head.

“ Remember Gafi, whatever motive you make to get married this time, do not try to end it because of trivial things. You've started with great difficulty and are against your family because of that woman, so show Papa that she's the right woman for you.”

“ Gafi will remember Papa.”'s advice

“ Alright, Papa should go. You try well.”

“ Yes, Pa.”

Gafi's father left the room. Gafi smiled a little. As hard as any parent will certainly soften for the happiness of his child. No parent wants their child in grief.

...****...

“ I saw Om earlier. Did you guys fight?” asked Aril who suddenly entered the room Gafi without knocking on the door first.

“ What do you think again?”

“ I think so too. If you don't fight, maybe the world will end.”

“ Tch..”.

“ I brought bad news for you.”

“ Bad news? is there nothing worse than seeing you here.”

“ I don't want to fight, Fi.” Aril clenched his hand.

“ Ok, alright.”

“Our lobby is rejected. The land you want to buy is rejected raw by the surrounding community.”

“ What? but didn't they agree to it? why suddenly refuse?”

“ I don't know, but that's how I found it when I got there. They don't want to take off their land on you.”

“ But, it is impossible in a moment that they change the decision. It must be something.”

“ Yes, you are right. There's something behind all this. You must know who and why this happened.”

“ Ah..om Dika.”

“ Not wrong anymore. They want to bring you down with your failure this time because there will soon be an election of the President. They're convinced that you're going to replace Aunt Liz. So, they did everything they could to bring down your reputation.”

“ Ha..when I'm not interested in all that. But, since they have already played with me, it is better that I also come to play.”

“ So much better. I'll do our second plan. So calm down and just look, how they move next.”

“ Good.”
