Not a Substitute

B15 Peace Father And Son

“Steven, we must be able to reconcile mas Agus and father,” proposed Violet. He doesn't want to be in the position of having to defend one.

“But how is Sister-in-law? Until now the hearts of both are still stubborn. They are both stone heads.” Steven has also tried various ways and nothing has worked.

“What if ..” Violet tells Steven her plan.

“Good Sister-in-law. Let's try. I'll persuade dad.” Steven was never discouraged from getting his family reunited.

It's a sunny Sunday.

Violet invited Agus to a picnic. He had planned with Steven to bring Agus and his father together in the park. Violet preparations are various to make it look natural. He who has learned to act can deceive Agus.

While Steven took his father to the park on the grounds to look for fresh air and had not gone to the park for a long time. His schedule was empty today, Steven reasoned.

Violet and Agus arrive at the park. Violet held out a mat and took out the food she was carrying. Seen from a distance came the father. Agus and his father came face to face but there was no reprimand between them. The atmosphere was so awkward between them.

Violet and Steven left to give Agus and his father some space to talk.

“So, she's your wife?” The father started the conversation.

“Iya, Father,” replied Agus. The atmosphere still looked awkward between them.

“Other times take him home.” The father had forgiven Agus who left home to pursue his dreams in the field of music. Something he hated because of his wife's behavior. “Dad heard all your songs. The most recent the best.” Agus' father praised Agus for the first time.

Agus shed his tears. It took a long time for the father to give his blessing. The father hugged Agus tightly. They separated in peace.

Agus was still crying as Violet approached. Violet hugged Agus tightly.

...***...

Later in the day.

Agus takes Violet to meet his father.

“Dad is a good person. It won't bite.”

“Unfortunately dad was a dog.”

They laugh together.

At Agus and Steven's father's house.

Violet looked at the astonishment of the luxurious mansion that resembled the palace castle. “What is this father's house?” Violet still couldn't believe it.

Agus and his father's appearance was mediocre. Unlike Steven who does require him to appear stylist.

“This is dad's house.” Agus realized Violet's nervous attitude. He held Violet's hand.

“Halo Sister-in-law.” Steven greeted them at the entrance.

Agus' father also welcomed the arrival of his son and daughter-in-law. They chatted for a moment and ate the dishes provided.

Violet tried various dishes that she had never tried before. Everything is high quality and delicious on the tongue because the chef at Agus's father's house only uses organic vegetables and cooking ingredients that are free from chemical pesticides.

“Take whiskey brand Y,” pinta father Agus to the waiter who is on his right side.

“Good, Mr.”

The waiter picked up the very expensive bottle of whiskey. He served the whiskey to Agus' father, Agus and Steven.

Violet, who wanted to enjoy whiskey, was disappointed. The waiter did not serve whiskey to himself.

Am I not worthy of being a daughter-in-law in this family?
