After six months passed, the atmosphere at the dining table came back to life. Daddy Julian again watched his son enjoy breakfast with a face that looked sparkling, fresh and looking happy. It was not in vain that he sacrificed time and money to find Zora this way.
"Thank God, I hope his body will be a little contained after this."
For so long he had not witnessed the son enjoying the food well. Lucas looks greedy even had time to praise the waiter just because the milk he drank sweetly fitting. A rare moment that indeed deserves to make Daddy Julian sigh of relief.
"But wait!! You can't fall asleep, that kid should be taught a lesson!!"
Daddy Julian almost forgot, just because his son looked happy he fell asleep and seemed to forget his original purpose. It was fortunate that Daddy Julian's sanity soon returned and remembered his original purpose. Yes, this one ungodly child needs to be taught a lesson so that he is aware and careful in speaking.
"Lucas! Can Daddy ask?" asked the man with gray hair while looking at Lucas.
"Hm? Please, Dad ... what?" Not only was Daddy Julian lost, but Lucas was too.
At least he doesn't realize his mistake with his father. A call to breakfast with him was considered a good welcome and warm attitude of his father.
"What do you think of a child who has no manners and is ungrateful to his parents?" Still in a relaxed tone, Daddy Julian began to ask questions and it was clearly responded to with care and common sense by Lucas, as a good boy of course.
"Well worth whipping, Dad, manners are the main thing a child should have."
"Certainly so?"
"Of course, I can't imagine why such children still live in the world. Did they forget the people who had contributed to them? Ah very strange," he replied steadily and there was absolutely no doubt.
"Truely, Daddy agrees with you .. but what if later your son who is just like that?"
"As a father, I will educate him strictly, Dad!! Civility is an important thing in life. Not only on both parents, but on everyone he also has to be polite," said Lucas seemed smart and showed a good side of the father's instincts in him.
Quite a long moment of silence, even the wind seemed to whistle and doubt his words. Just like Zora who had been soft-spoken and looked at Lucas with an illegible look.
"As expected Daddy your way of thinking is mature," praised Daddy Julian who turned out to really make Lucas big head.
"Ah don't praise me too much, Dad. As Daddy knew, soon I'll be a father too .. So of course this kind of thing I have to plan."
Purely the answer that emerged from his brain, Lucas' mood this morning was so good that he did not have any shortsighted thoughts about his father. In fact, it was clear what Daddy Julian meant was him.
"Ah right too, Daddy forgot."
"Why can you forget? Is it because Daddy still considers Zora a wife?"
"No, Daddy's divorce has been taking care of for a long time and you can have the relationship as you should. Forget everything that happened before, and for Zora, Daddy apologizes for what you've been through."
Instantly the atmosphere was tense again, Zora looked stiff and confused about what to answer. Lucas, who was moved by his father's words, unexpectedly expressed a thank you in a way that made Daddy Julian suddenly amused.
"Daddy I'm so grateful .. It turns out Daddy wasn't as bad as I thought. Thank you, Daddy, I really did not expect this gambler to still have a conscience" he said, hugging his father's body tightly until the man's breath felt tight.
"Ck you!! Can you just keep talking a little?"
"Huh? Why, Dad? Did my words hurt Daddy?" lucas asked innocently without feeling guilty, presumably he was too happy to do everything without thinking first.
"Yes the son of the devil!! Old bangka, the smell of dirt, gamblers and what else? You think it doesn't hurt?" Had wanted to bury deep in his anger, but the emotion returned when Lucas called it a gambler who still has a heart.
"But it's her_"
"real? Aye!! Daddy knows it's real but it doesn't have to be confirmed either, you understand?"
Immediately he put away the hand of the son that was coiled around his neck. Since when was their relationship that warm, it never seemed.
"Ah so what Daddy meant was me?" After hearing the father's confession, he realized and began to understand the meaning of Julian's question.
"You think?"
"It looks like yes, but I didn't mean to berate Daddy really!!"
"But you did, what's the difference?!"
"Spontaneous, Dad, my tongue is used to being ...." Lucas stopped talking when he realized his father's sharp gaze. He again misspoke, and Daddy Julian's hand that was now trying to reach forks made Lucas' heart beat twice as fast.
"Regular? Ah used to it? So your tongue's been trained to berate Daddy, Lucas?"
"Bu-not that, my God I misspoke ... Daddy calmed down and kept it away" Lucas began to take a step to escape.
"Daddy wanted to forgive you, but it looks like you're going to have to beat Daddy up, Lucas!!" Not finished Daddy Julian spoke, Lucas had disappeared and followed by the father who asked the guards to block Lucas' path.
