Old Man's Bed
#42: Goodbye Daddy
"You motherfucker! goddamn bum! it is usually just toying with women," Rio scoffed in annoyance.
Ardhan did not budge, he left Rio just like that with a battered wound on his face. As for Rio, he got up on his own and looked at the black car with a flogging feeling.

"Where are we going, sir?" ask Jack. He peeked at the master's face behind the windshield of his car. "We went to the hospital first to treat the master,"
"No need, you go ahead" said Ardhan. He has no direction of purpose. His head was dizzy and could not think clearly. He reached into the cell phone in his suit, dialed Kenzia's number.
Disappointed repeatedly, Kenzia's number could not be contacted. His mind exploded. He grew afraid of losing Kenzia, knowing that he had broken his promise.
"Maybe Miss Kenzia doesn't want to bother you, you better find a gift for Miss Kenzia" Jack said.
Jack's words that make Ardhan's sense gradually clear, tomorrow he will go home was supposed to find a gift for Kenzia.
"True, you're looking for the nearest mall" Ardhan said.

Somewhere else.
Mommy Aira was sobbing as she stared at the photo of the princess, just hours ago Kenzia had left her, the second time she had to part for the sake of the child and the circumstances that urged her.
She hugged a photo of Kenzia, crying in the bitterness she felt.
"Dear, Kenzia will be fine. Don't mind it" said Daddy Argha. He felt sorry for the wife who continued to cry began Kenzia's departure and when she came home did not stop crying.
"Your tears will dry up" he said.
Instead of laughing, his wife stared intently. He sat down after bringing a glass of water and put it on the nightstand.
Daddy Argha rubbed Mommy Aira's shoulder. This was not his choice, but the circumstances that forced him to make this choice. No parent wants to part with their daughter.
"But this is Ardhan's fault,"
His chest grew sicker, he clearly remembered how fragile his daughter Kenzia, his daughter forced his smile, even though his heart was wounded and unable to be treated by anyone.
"I know, but remember Kenzia's message."
"I will never forgive him, I will never forgive him, he destroyed my daughter, first asked her a second wife, what did she consider my daughter? does she consider my daughter a human being who has no heart and no mind? she thinks my daughter's a statue?"
Daddy Argha pulled his wife into his arms. He was very upset to even beat up Ardhan, but he was currently waiting for Ardhan's arrival. Will he apologize or vice versa?
"Here, don't cry."
He hugged and rubbed his wife's back gently while kissing her forehead. "There's Ana's aunt looking after Kenzia, I'm sure she can take good care of Kenzia."
Mommy Aira was crying even more, she should have been the one guarding her daughter, not someone else. She's her real mother, not anyone else.
###
As for Kenzia, her tears continued to flow profusely, staring outwards. Though the scenery outside is much more beautiful when viewed from above, but he is not too interested.
His heart kept saying strong, yet fragile. He continued to cry, after this, he actually met Ardhan. He will be separated for a long time. When will I see him back?
He hoped time would make him disappear in Ardhan's shadow, treating the deepening and stabbing pain.
"Goodbye Daddy,"
