“So we already know?”, asked Krishna.
Ted nodded. He told me that a few months ago he and Mr. Hendra were involved in business with the same person. There Mr. Hendra began to show strangeness because he continued to forget what was conveyed by people.
“Bapak also fainted. I'm taking him to the hospital. Alzheimer's symptom doctor says.”
Mr. Hendra smiled wryly.
“Then what? You want to laugh at me for being a sickly old man.”
“Pa!”, shouted Krishna.
Silent mood. Krishna leaves the living room and is followed by Ted.
“You didn't go too?”, asked Mr Hendra.
Blue stared at Mr. Hendra.
“So old and sick it is not a sin. Grandpa does not always have to be healthy to stay respected.”
“Who said grandpa was afraid of not being respected?”
“Then?”
“Grandfather is just afraid of not being able to complete the responsibility on those who have hung their lives on grandfather.”
“Can there papa mama cake.”
Mr. Hendra fell silent, as if dissatisfied with Blue's reply.
“There's Blue too.”, said Blue with a smile.
Mr. Hendra looked at his eldest grandson.
“You ready?”
Blue nodded. Mr. Hendra smiled with relief.
“Now, Blue can call others?”
“Ya.”
Blue goes to invite Krishna and Ted back to join them in the living room.
“Excuse papa.”, said Mr. Hendra suddenly.
Krisna and Ted were surprised because all this time Mr. Hendra was a very stubborn figure for them. He never even apologized. But now he easily said sorry, making them salute with Blue.
“The God Plan is indeed very unique yes sir.”, said Ted.
“You know not. Your grandfather had planned to marry you and Avisa when you returned to this house but your future father-in-law refused. He said he did not want to curb the child's wishes. Especially married.”
To his surprise, Blue was speechless.
“Not expecting right?”, asked Krishna.
“If I had agreed, maybe Avisa would hate me more than now.”
“Each him if joking it do not go too far mas.”
“Let's reaction his son funny loh.”
They laugh.
“So you never arrange our wedding because of business?”, ask Blue.
“Create what? My business is already big without having to sacrifice the feelings of my children.”
“Then Orange?”
“You think Orange is engaged to Alexa because of me?”
“So right?”
Ted laughed loudly.
“Alexa has been trying hard to get her orange since the first time I brought her to England. Just so happened that his father was my business partner.”
Blue speechless. Slowly he began to know that all Avisa had been thinking was a mere misunderstanding.
After all the discussion was over, they started talking about something else lighter. While in the back garden, Avisa and Charlotte have not wanted to talk since. Confused to him.
(here they speak in translated English)
“You don't get along?”, asked Ajeng.
“Ya.”, replied Charlotte.
Ajeng smiled awkwardly.
“Charlotte already know which place is here?”
“Not much. I've only come to this city twice.”
“Want to travel together?”
“Oh good idea.”
“Avisa also.”
He looked at Avisa. Although actually reluctant, Avisa answered him because he hesitated.
“Iya aunt.”
“Good.”
“How does Charlotte like this same house?”, asked Mr Hendra.
“One likes. This house is very beautiful.”
“Frequently come here if you like.”
“It looks like you have to negotiate with Ted for that.”
They laughed except Avisa.
“How about now we have dinner first? It's 6.”, invite Krishna.
They all agreed and headed for the dining room.
***
The house of Biantara.
After returning from Darmawan's residence, Avisa invites Ted to talk. As advised by Bu Windari and Blue.
“Pa.”
“Ya?”
“Avisa to talk.”
“Ok. But papa wants to take a shower first. Sultry.”
“Iya.”
They went to their rooms to clean themselves first.
“Babe.”
“Ya.”
“Tonight, I will tell Avisa everything and put an end to all these misunderstandings.”, Ted said.
“So?”
“So you should also apologize for your treatment all this time to him.”
“Indeed I did what?”
“I've been quiet this time doesn't mean I don't know. I know everything. So I beg you. I'm tired of fighting with my kids. You can accept Orange, why Avisa not?”
Charlotte speechless.
“Ok?”, Ted confirm.
“Ok.”
“Thanks. I love you.”
“I also.”
Finished cleaning themselves, they gathered in the living room.
“So?”
“Today, Avisa wants to tell me everything. Avisa will be horrin.”
All the secrets kept by Ted are finally told to Avisa.
Year 19xx. Before Dila conceived Avisa, she had an affair with the owner of one of the airlines in the country. Their relationship is very far away. Because it was while pregnant with Avisa, Ted could not believe that it was his biological child.
Until Avisa's birthday, they know that he is Ted's real son. Ted finally gave Dila a second chance. But at that time Ted got the opportunity to justify his business in England.
There, he always sent letters to his wife and children but at one time his letter never got a reply. Finally he maliciously paid someone to spy on Dila.
"Papa didn't want to believe it but it turns out that papa was worried about actually happening. Your mother is in touch with that man again. Papa feels at stupidi.”
Therefore Ted vowed to be more successful than the man but would not divorce Dila first so that they could not be together. From then on, Ted no longer wanted to send letters to Indonesia.
Years of focusing on her dreams, only Charlotte accompanies her to success. Ted was a very generous person, so he married Charlotte and broadcast it on television a few years later. For Dila to be able to witness that from the eyes of her own head.
“You can say papa's a jerk and it doesn't make sense. But what you felt at that time was only a very painful pain. Papa thinks the opportunity you give will make your mama better and not repeat it again. But it turns out?”
Ted almost shed his tears recalling the bitter memories of the past days.
“Papa doesn't want you guys raised by that guy. Papa is determined to take you at all costs. Because you're papa's son.”
“So papa knows how mama is doing?”
Ted.
“Whatever way papa separated them, your mama still ended up with him. They finally got married. Since then, papa doesn't want to know anymore.”
Avisa breathed a heavy sigh.
“Avisa... Have you ever met mama.”
Ted spontaneously turned to Avisa.
“Mama asked Avisa to stay together but Avisa could not say yes. Avisa is afraid that papa will ruin your happiness again if Avisa comes with mama.”
“Papa never ruin mama's happiness, dear.”
“Papa time take Orange?”
“That's because your mom was pregnant with that boy.”
Avisa was wide-eyed, shocked by her papa.
