On this Sunday Andien is still the same as the previous days, always silent in the room. Avoiding meeting Mr. Teguh.
The morning is never breakfast because it is noon, and the night is never dinner because it is full or not hungry. That's always the reason.
But on this Sunday, there is no reason for Andien to avoid face-to-face with Mr. Teguh.
When he finished breakfast, Mr. Teguh invited andien to talk in his study. Andien was only silent but also did not dispute his papa.
In Mr. Teguh's study, the father and son sat facing each other, his father who was about to start his conversation scooped up as much air as possible to relieve his chest.
"Andien, Papa knows you've been avoiding Papa for a few days because of matchmaking problems. Papa actually also knows you love Alex a lot."
Mr. Teguh paused for a moment to look at Andien's face, and there was only his daughter's sad face.
"If Papa didn't owe Anton's family any debt, maybe Papa wouldn't have forced you either, but Papa's convinced Anton is a good guy" he added.
Mr. Teguh said it all with teary eyes, the same as Andien who also saw a dam of water in his eyes.
"Will Papa be happy to see Andien married by Papa's choice?" andien asked with a trembling voice.
"Andien .. maybe Papa looks selfish, but rest assured Papa there is no intention to make you hurt," replied Mr. Teguh who also held tightness in his chest.
Andien who heard the words from his papa, was no longer able to stem his tears that escaped.
Instantly Andien came out of Pak Teguh's workroom, half running towards his room.
Brakes.
Andien closed the door of his room a little hard, until Miss Astrid who happened to pass by was slightly shortened.
Andien wept bitterly in the room, lamenting the fate of his love why it should be like this.
Mr. Teguh who was in the workspace just leaned his old back on the back of the chair, his gaze glared far into the past.
How could Mr Teguh have the heart to make his beautiful daughter cry like that, even though from Andien at birth he was the one who carried it for the first time. After the nurse cleaned it. Mr. Teguh also accused his reddish little daughter, kissing her cheeks. Andien still remains his little daughter whom he takes care of with all his heart.
The Flashback
10 Months ago while in the Hospital, Mr. Teguh and Ms. Astrid came out of the doctor's room for routine health checks that are done every month.
Time will make up for the Vitamins in the Pharmacy, it turns out there is full of queues. Ms. Astrid told Mr. Teguh to sit near the hospital garden, let him go to redeem the vitamins.
At the time Mr. Teguh walked in the hospital hallway to the chair in the park, mr Teguh's gaze unintentionally saw a man sitting in a wheelchair wearing a patient's shirt and an infusion needle stuck in his hand.
With a slow step, Mr. Teguh approached the man, when the distance was getting closer, Mr. Teguh was stunned.
Deg.
Mr. Teguh's heart beat quickly, it turns out that the male figure is a friend and the person who helped him first. When Mr. Teguh was down.
But then they never met because Mr. Teguh who moved to Surabaya, this was also Pak teguh just moved to Jakarta again 2 months ago leaving Andien alone in Surabaya.
Mr. Teguh's time is right behind the guy. "Heru ..." said Mr. Teguh. The person called his name turned his head towards Pak Teguh, Heru was no less surprised.
Heru who was the last to meet different from the present, no more fresh face only pale face and under the eyes a little blackened.
"Straight!" said Heru, they immediately embraced releasing long misses that did not meet. "What are you doing in the hospital? Are you sick!" ask Heru.
"No, I'm just a routine health check" replied Mr. Teguh.
Mr. Teguh who saw the condition of Heru who was not okay was immediately asked. "What pain do you have Heru? Why did it come to this?" his question.
"I have stage 3 brain cancer" Heru said with a smile.
Mr. Teguh was stunned to hear the words of his best friend, why he did not hear the news of his best friend at all if he was seriously ill.
Heru who saw the surprised face of his best friend, immediately switched the conversation to dilute the atmosphere.
"Is your daughter married now?" ask Heru.
Mr. Teguh knew Heru only wanted to divert his conversation, and maybe he didn't want to discuss his illness.
"Yet, you may not have found it yet, is your son also married?" reply Mr. Teguh who asked Heru.
"Not yet, maybe just like your daughter who hasn't found her" replied Heru. "How about we just match them up, I'm sure they'll fit in. All this time my son has never been close to a girl because after work his time is spent taking care of me, you know myself I have no wife." he added.
"I dare not promise anything, but I will try. If they are a match, they will be together" said Mr. Teguh.
Heru only nodded his head in response. "I'm sure your daughter is a good woman, because she also has good parents" said Heru.
Now the two are both silent to each other, until a nurse approaches Heru. "Sir Heru, it's time to go back to the room, to rest sir" said the nurse and held a wheelchair occupied by Heru.
"When I will visit again" said Mr. Teguh.
After Heru's wheelchair pushed the nurse further away from his sight, Mr. Teguh just exhaled slowly. He realized his age was also not easy anymore it would be very easy for the disease that lodged in his body.
Especially if he can't watch his daughter get married.
A moment later, Miss Astrid, who had finished making up for the vitamins, approached her husband, and invited him home.
On the way home Mr. Teguh told his meeting with Heru to his wife, and his discussion with heru also he told her until there was nothing covered. His wife handed him all the decisions.
Since then Mr. Teguh and his wife often visit to see Heru, sometimes they also meet his son. But Mr. Teguh has not told Andien about his match.
Flashback off
Until 2 months ago there was sad news from Anton, that Heru had died due to his sudden drop.
It turns out that Anton is the son of Mr. Heru, initially Pak Teguh thought the talk at that time he never agreed. But either after Heru's departure he was beset with guilt.
Mr. Teguh never talked to Andien because he did not want to force his son to marry, let alone the time not long Andien returned from Surabaya. Andien recounted that he was in a relationship with someone.
But now Mr. Teguh can not hold his guilt, let him be said as a selfish person. But according to Mr. Teguh, Anton is a good man.
When his wife opened the door of the study room intending to invite him to relax in the backyard, Ms. Astrid was surprised to see Mr. Teguh lying on the floor unconscious.
"FATHER!" yelled Miss Astrid.
Andien, who heard her mother's scream, came straight out of the room and ran towards the source of her voice.
Andien is also shocked by Mr. Teguh's unconscious condition, immediately Andien calls Mang Amin the family driver to take his Papa to the hospital.
10 Minutes later.
Mr. Teguh already found the handling in the IGD room, Andien, Mama, and Mang Amin waiting anxiously in the waiting room.
Moments later, the doctor came out of the IGD room, so contact only Andien and Mama immediately approached him and asked the state of his papa.
"How is my Papa Doc?"
"How is my husband?"
Asked Andien and mom at the same time, the doctor looked at Andien and mom. Then the doctor exhaled slowly. "The situation of Mr. Teguh is currently past a critical period, but for the next please take care of it. Don't let him have a lot of thoughts otherwise his asthma will recur. He will soon be transferred to the hospital room but for now he is still unconscious because of the influence of drugs, then I'll excuse me first."
After Mr. Teguh was moved to the VIP room, Andien who was guarding sat beside Mr. Teguh's bed and clasped his hands. His mother and Mang Amin went home to pick up the items he would need.
Andien stared at the pale face of his father lying weakly with an oxygen tube in his nose, while Andien was surprised to feel the movement of papa's fingers in his grip move.
"Pa ..." said Andien Lirih.
Mr. Teguh adjusted the light on his vision, after opening his eyes several times Mr. Teguh just realized the existence of Andien next to him.
"Andien ..." said Mr. Teguh.
Andien shook his head. "Pa, don't talk much first, Papa has to rest a lot" Andien said in a trembling voice.
The strong man who saw Andien's eyes also knew that his daughter had finished crying.
"Sorry ..." said Mr. Teguh
Instantly Andien's tears escaped as well, Andien immediately hugged Papa. "It's not Papa who should apologize, but Andien who should apologize. Because Andien does not want to obey Papa's wishes. But now that Andien's aware, Andien's going to comply with Papa's request with Papa's chosen man." After that Andien's cry broke out instantly.
Although Andien had never met Anton by his father's intention, because in the past when Heru occasionally visited the house, Mr. Teguh never with Anton.
Her father simply stroked the short hair of Andien who was hugging him. "Papa no longer want to force you, Papa is afraid you will not be happy" said Papa.
Andien shook his head. "No Pa .. I'm sure Papa will choose the best for me." Andien convinces his father that he can now accept his papa's choice.
Mama Astrid who was in front of the door of the room could not help but hear the conversation between her husband and daughter.
