"Can you explain something?" Valter looked at Sumi.
The woman in question nodded, then she stood up.
"She's your daughter!" Said Sumi in a soft voice.
While Valter back sculpting. Those words made her consciousness almost fade away, yet Ayumi's sobs kept on making herself maintain her consciousness.
"Really?" Valter's voice vibrated.
"Hemm, ..he came back to me a few months ago!"
And in the next second he returned Ayumi's embrace. Clutching that tiny body very tightly.
"I'm sorry Papa, .. Please forgive Papa once again for leaving you."
Ayumi did not reply to anything, the woman just kept the mangais tight, until it made some hotel guests look at the father and son who had just been met. There was anger and wanted to ask the reason why the man was so hearty, but the other sense was more domineering until the disappointment was closed just like that.
While Sumi just kept quiet to see the interaction of the two, so did Randy. The man looked at his wife with a sad look, let alone the cry of Ayumi really made his heart feel a little shredded.
Yep. The girl who was so cheerful, with all the burdens and wounds she had.
Inner Randy speaks.
Valter takes Ayumi to sit down, breaks her embrace, and looks at Ayumi's face after her hug comes off. Valter's eyes twitched, diving into Ayumi's dark brown netra.
"What's your name?" He rubbed the two eyes of the beautiful girl before him who started to stop crying.
Isakan Ayumi was not completely lost, until the woman still did not want to answer.
"Yumy." Said Sumi.
"His parents gave him a very pretty name." Sumi.
His eyes were glazed over, not even infrequently he rubbed the two corners of his eyes when the tears really could not he control. Randy shifted closer, then rubbed Sumi's back, in order to make her mother-in-law stronger again.
"Emmm, .. like we have to order a drink." Randy speaking.
He got up then walked in the other direction, leaving Ayumi with her parents.
Ayumi looked at Sumi who was sitting across from her. He stretched out one hand, asking the woman to come closer immediately without much talking.
"Come. Come closer, .. fulfill your son's request."
Hearing Valter speak so, Sumi could not argue, she followed Ayumi's will, approached and sat down beside her daughter who Ayumi immediately embraced.
For the first time. She really feels that the family is so complete, this time she is not dreaming, Ayumi can really hug her father and mother at the same time.
The three of them came back crying.
God's destiny is not to be guessed. Even Valter didn't expect that his way of life would be this complicated. Living with a woman who always threatens the safety of her life, then divorced. But Valter still can not get Sumi, even his previous intention to find a baby that Susi forcibly disposed of never happened. There is always a barrier that stretches, to make himself unable to wiggle in the slightest.
No matter how people talk about all the bad things, he has tried, but God has his own way.
"You happy, son?" Sumi smiled, rubbed Ayumi's head and removed the strands of hair blocking her face.
Ayumi nodded.
"I don't know what to do now." Ayumi said with a still remaining stuffing.
"You can spend time with your father. Maybe Mama will be back at the Villa soon, it's not nice to have to go for a long time." Sumi.
But Ayumi shook her head.
"We'll get back together after this." Ayumi.
He took off the hugs from his parents, grabbed the tissue available on the large glass table, then rubbed his face.
"Ah sorry. My nose is stuck!" Ayumi said while chuckling.
Sumi and Valter smiled at her.
Without feeling satisfied Valter continued to pay attention to Ayumi. Staring at that beautiful face was fixed with such an incredible feeling.
"You haven't said anything. Did you forgive Papa?" He touched Ayumi's cheek.
Ayumi turned her head, looking at the face of the foreign man before her. Golden brown hair, beautiful beads dark brown, sharp nose with a firm face that looks handsome even at his ripe age.
His body is large height, has a skin that is so white, with a appearance that can be said to be very neat, maybe he has a very good economy, in contrast to his mother who had difficulties when they were not together.
"Still not talking?" Valter asked again.
"Then what should I do? I should hate you guys? While I know if you're my biological parents?" Ayumi started to open her voice.
"I'm upset, I'm angry, but I can't do anything. It's about God's time and destiny that can't be changed."
"Then get angry. Thats okay! At least Papa won't continue to feel guilty for doing something so bad."
Ayumi shook her head.
"I don't want to talk about this. I'm afraid I'm gonna hate the late Aunt Susi!" Ayumi looked at her mother.
And immediately answered a nod by Sumi.
Not long after that Randy came with several employees, bringing drinks and food ordered for his wife and both parents.
"Excuse me."
They put every food and drink on the table.
"Thank you, Mom, .. Ma'am!" Said Randy.
They just nodded, then left afterwards.
"Come here, I order tomato juice for you." He called Ayumi.
"really?"
Ayumi rubbed her cheek using the back of her hand. Then get up and sit on the couch that Randy sits on. With the spirit of Ayumi grabbed a glass containing an orange drink, then drank it slowly.
Ayumi turned towards her husband. She smiles.
"Enak, I love it." Said.
Randy nodded, he turned to Valter as well as Sumi who looked silent to each other.
"Thank you." Valter.
Sumi nods her head at her daughter-in-law, Randy.
They began to enjoy drinks as well as a variety of foods that some time ago Randy ordered. Some stopped the conversation, until Valter opened his voice again.
"Thank you for coming. Even the amazing surprise you gave me, .. You brought my daughter! Things I never expected."
Sumi sighed. It feels so hard to start a conversation that always leads to his past, but what can be done. Problems will not be solved if we just keep them.
"I've forgiven you. I have also made peace with the situation! My life is improving now, even very well especially after Ayumi returns. It's not easy, I have to wait almost 20 years, see my daughter's growth and development from a very long distance. This is the result of my patience, even when I start to give everything, suddenly he comes back and always comes." Sumi Say.
Ayumi and Randy just quietly listened.
"I'm sorry for my stupidity. All the trouble you have, or the gossip you get, it all starts with me. Just try first I'm not rash, just try I want to listen to your explanation first, then the one I married …"
Valter stopped talking as Sumi raised her hand while closing her eyes.
"I don't want to talk about this!" Sumi Resolute.
"But …"
"Please. I don't want to hear it!" Sumi covered both her ears.
"Mmmm, .. We should not look back. As bitter as the past is, but we must keep walking towards the future, then make the previous events as a lesson so as not to return to make the same mistakes." Tukas Ayumi's.
Valter listened, although he was not very fluent in Indonesian, but he understood what his daughter was saying.
It feels so painful. When a child is able to say extraordinary words. Where was he growing up? Where she was when the little girl started to learn everything. And even more painful for Valter is, when Sumi says the woman waited for 20 years to get the moment she is today.
"Is that how difficult his life is? What foster parents his daughter doesn't allow to meet." Inner Valter monologue.
"Of the hell?" Valter called.
"Yes." Yeah."
"After this moment's. Can Papa see you again? And spend time together? At least once in your lifetime, Papa, before you have to go back to Germany, and don't know if you're coming back here or not." Said Valter with a very distinctive speech.
Ayumi glanced at Randy.
"Come, our house is located 30 minutes from the airport. You can come whenever you want." Randy said, smiling with all his heart.
"You guys, .. are married?"
Ayumi and Randy nodded at the same time.
"Oh God! I missed a lot of things!" Valter looks so sorry.
"Indeed. Neither do I, ..not much I know of my own daughter. But I'm so happy because whatever I get now is enough."
Valter looked at Sumi. A woman who has changed so much. His condition is not too good, visible from the clothes he wears even far from the word fashionable, while he lives in all conveniences.
"I'm so sorry."
"Of course." Sumi chiming.
And for the first time in a long time. Valter saw Sumi's smile that was so sweet, and it was the only one that did not change from within Sumi, a smile full of sincerity.
"It's late enough, we'd better get back to the villa." Sumi said the head of the child was also her daughter-in-law.
Randy nodded, he immediately stood up.
"good. Mr. Valter, thank you for the time you gave me, sorry if I was sassy for asking the hotel clerk to call you, we can talk again another time if you don't mind."
Valter stood up, he approached Randy and hugged the man very tightly.
"Papa. Just call Papa, since you married my son, then you are also my son now. Thank you for giving them a decent life when I couldn't do it. Thanks again, I took them. I'm afraid I can't come back for one reason or another." Valter patted Randy on the shoulder.
The man in question nodded, and smiled.
"Okay, I'll do that." Said Randy.
"Ojumi? Come here." Come here."
Valter spread out both his hands when he saw Ayumi starting to stand up.
"Jose come home first, Om." Ayumi approached, then hugged her very tightly.
Valter nodded, he closed his eyes while kissing the top of Ayumi's head, feeling her heart throbbing in pain. It was not willing to let them go, but he had no right to keep them.
"Blessed, Son. Hope there's still a chance to see you!"
Ayumi nodded, she loosened her embrace.
"We're also staying here, tomorrow we can meet." Ayumi said, trying to make Valter feel okay.
A wistful look, as well as teary eyes were enough for him to know if the middle-aged man was not okay.
"Do you want to resign as well?" Valter asked Sumi.
"Yes, it's late and I have to rest."
"alright. Maybe next time we should talk again!"
"It seems like there's nothing more to discuss. I told you I forgive you, so after this live in peace." Pamit Sumi's.
And that answer really disappointed Valter.
"We're saying goodbye."
After saying that to Sumi, Randy and Ayumi immediately left. Walking towards the lobby door, leaving Valter still standing there.
The man even continued to look at Sumi's back, until the woman was no longer within his reach.
"However it is now. It will no longer be the same. The wounds I had inflicted were already very deep. Lucky they are still kind enough to meet you, until if someday your death comes, at least it will not be too burdensome because you have an apology." Inner Valter spoke.
With a gontai step Valter walked past the reception desk. The man nodded his head as the woman on duty there smiled.
"Thank you." Valter said as he continued to walk closer to a hallway where several elevator doors were located there.
And after waiting for a few seconds, finally the iron door opened very slowly, then Valter entered, and immediately disappeared when the elevator door was closed again.
