Love Vania

Meet Them

Vania arrived home at 17:10 WIB. Nadya went straight home after taking Vania home.

"assalamualaikum pa" said Vania when she saw papa Firman sitting reading the newspaper on the living room sofa. Vania grabs his papa's hand to kiss him.

"waalaikumsalam, why until this hour just came home son"

"Sorry pa, Vania forgot to say. Vania had made a pilgrimage to her grave Ditya before returning home"

"here sit first, papa wants to talk" said Papa Firman while patting the sofa beside him.

Vania followed what her father asked her to do. she sat her body right next to Papa Firman.

"until when do you want to be like this, how can you find happiness while every week you always remember that sadness" said the Word while stroking the head of his daughter's hair.

"Papa asked for help you do not go there too often, if indeed you want to really get up" he continued

Vania simply fell silent and lowered her head. The question spoken by the Word made him sad. Without Papa Firman realized the tears Vania had dripped on her smooth cheeks.

The words of Papa Firman are so touching. Even his voice trembled as it held back the crying. Papa Firman did not want to make his daughter even sadder. He just tried to give a little advice and input so that his daughter can return like the Vania they used to know so cheerful.

"sorry Vania, pa”. That was the only word Vania could say. Both of his shoulders were shaking from crying.

"sorry, papa was forced to say this. his papa wants papa's daughter to be happy. We all love you. Where is the Vania you used to know? The cheerful and generous Vania smiles. We all miss all that"

"Vania promises to reduce the time to visit Ditya's tomb"

"again sorry papa son"

"no, papa's not wrong... Vania who has to start to keep the attitude" said Vania turned to her papa

Papa Firman hugged his daughter tightly with affection. He was so happy to hear Vania's answer. Hope Vania will keep her promise and a little forget her ex-lover.

"alright, go back and get ready to pray" said papa Firman releasing a hug on his daughter.

Vania nodded and smiled. He kissed his papa's right cheek and got up to his room.

By night all the family members had gathered at the dinner table except for Vania. Mama Karin climbed the stairs to her daughter's room to take her to dinner.

tok.tok.tok.tok room door sound Vania knocked from outside.

"honey, let's eat first"

"iya ma, just step down... Vania finished the book first" cried Vania from inside.

Mama Karin returns to the dinner table after getting a speech from Vania. Soon Vania came down and approached them to eat together.

The four people had dinner quietly. Only the clangs of spoons and forks collided with each plate.

Papa Firman spent his meal first. He sipped water in the glass in front of him.

"Vania, eat up do not go to the room first yes, we go to the garden gazebo first, papa want to say something" papa Firman said to his daughter because since Vania was sad never joined with her parents and brother to gather and chat after dinner.

"yes pa"

Papa Firman left the dining table and headed to the garden gazebo first.

They chatted casually while laughing. The warm atmosphere began to appear again in the family. The happiness that was paused for months is now beginning to grow back.

A few minutes later, Papa Firman tried to start a serious conversation with his two children.

"Dit, how's your relationship with Renata? how come papa see you rarely meet"

"good pa... Renata is preparing for the S2 Pa exam, so Adit doesn't want to bother first let him focus"

"oo....Thank God that's it"

"Vania" continued Papa Firman looking at his daughter.

Vania raised her head to face Papa Firman after hearing the call from her father.

"do you remember Mr Satria da Bu Dewi?"

Vania nodded her head in affirming her papa's question, "iya Vania remembered".

"do you know his son?"

Vania shook her head slowly, "Vania only knows their son is graduating abroad, the rest of Vania does not know anything", replied Vania because she still remembered the words of Miss Dewi when she contacted her.

"well, yesterday Miss Dewi and Mr. Satria came to papa before they left for abroad. They love you as much as their own daughter. And they delivered the message that.." Mr. Word stopped his words. He was afraid his statement would hurt his daughter.

"that's what, Pa?" ask Vania.

Mr. Firman looked back at his wife as if asking for answers to his wishes. Bu Kari nodded and smiled gently as if giving an answer if she agreed to her husband to continue his words.

"They want to make you a son-in-law in their family" continued Mr. Firman slowly

"you mean papa?"

"they want to betroth you to their son"

"but pa...."

"father will not mean you dear, if you refuse nothing, papa will tell them that"

"pa, Vania still wants to go to school, pa"

"they're not in a hurry baby, they just want there to be a bond first"

"but Vania did not know and did not know the son of Oom Satria and Aunt Goddess" Vania replied

"do you want to refuse?" tanya papa Firman looked at her daughter with a sad face.

Vania lowered her head. He did not have much courage to refuse his father's wishes.

" The day after tomorrow they will return to their homeland, one day after they invite us to dinner. Meet them first, after that please you decide to continue what not. papa will not force you" said papa Firman.

Vania didn't budge at all. He remained silent and lowered.

"sorry if you do all this" continued Papa Firman patted his daughter on the shoulder.
