Paper Layangan

Small Debate

This morning Alis woke up confused looking around the room she was in.

This isn't my room, where am I?

Alis tried to remember the previous events, but he did not remember, I don't know what happened last night. His eyes widened in pattern as he recalled the incident yesterday afternoon, when he met his parents.

Eyebrows flipped his blanket and got off his bed, he intended to leave this room right now, but shut down because the door of his room was already open first.

"Alisya. You're awake, baby. Now you take a shower and get ready for school. Mama's gonna cook your favorite food." Shakila looked at Eyebrow with a longing sad look. "How did you sleep last night, all right?"

Eyebrows just nodded his head, he stared at the movement of the woman in front of him who was walking closer to him.

Shakila gently stroked the hair Eyebrow. While the eyebrows seem stiffened.

"Mama wait downstairs, in the dining room." Pass out of Eyebrow's room.

Eyebrows just kept silent while staring at his mother who disappeared behind the door. He rushed to the bathroom to clean up and get ready to go to school.

Eyebrow slowly down the stairs, he looked around this house that looks luxurious and elegant with ivory white walls.

"Non, let's follow aunt to the dining room. Ladies and gentlemen are waiting."

Eyebrows nodded and followed the steps of the housekeeper. Upon arriving at the dining room, he was greeted by Shakila.

"Honey, let's sit here next to Mama." stand up and slide the chair beside her right.

Eyebrows running and approaching towards his mother, he occupied himself slowly.

"Alisya, I want to ask ma'af to you because of a mistake I made first. Dad was very sorry for not listening to the police words back then and had more faith in the video sent by the boy. So, I really asked ma'af." stared sadly and regretfully.

"It's dad, it's all over. And now all the good things have also gathered. So, there's nothing to forgive. After all, it's the father's right to educate the father's child, just a rather wrong way." His eyebrows looked back at his father. His feelings were stirring, he was completely moved. In the end, all the waiting during this time was not in vain.

"Let's eat." Shakila spoke for everything.

Eyebrows nodded and smiled sweetly while staring at his father and mother. He hopes this is not a mirage and hopefully forever it will remain like this.

"Udah ma, mostly."

"Feel this mama. Delicious loh. Try." Shakila thrust some side dishes into the Eyebrow plate.

"Em.. yummy bangat ma, it feels like Eyebrow misses mama's cooking."

"Alis, may I ask you one thing?"

Eyebrows nodded, he looked at his father seriously as his father's attitude looked even more serious.

"Do you have a boyfriend?"

Eyebrows who did not understand the question his father looked back at his mother and got a nod from his mother. Alis was disappointed by her father's question. After a long time of not seeing each other, the first thing she asked was the issue of romance. Instead of being asked about what kind of life he lived or how he survived or what kind of environment he lived in. His eyebrows slowly catch his breath.

"Not yet" he replied lethargicly while looking down at the food in front of him.

"good. That means you're gonna be a match for somebody, dad's best friend's son."

Alis nodded to hear it. So, it is true that said by January morning yesterday that he will be betrothed. This time the Eyebrows will not be as rash as yesterday anymore, he will be calm.

"Who?" ask Eyebrows.

Bastian frowned upon hearing an Eyebrow question that sounded just a piece.

"What is who?" staring at Eyebrows gently.

"Who's the guy?" ask Alis back to clarify the previous question.

"He's a good young man and from a good family too. You take it easy, I've chosen the best for you."

"May I know his name?" asked Alis while looking at her father.

"Of course you should know his name, baby. He will be your husband, so I think from now on you should get to know him. His name is Naufal, he goes to the same school you went to."

Eyebrows closed his eyes for a moment as his father said the word 'husband'. "The one named Naufal was a lot of well in school. Not just one or two people." trying to maintain his tone to keep it warm and not sound cold.

"Later we'll have a meeting." Stand up and get ready to go to work. "And one more thing, your identity should not be covered up anymore, I do not like you continue to be bullied." passed from the dining room and followed by Shakila.

Pensive eyebrows heard him, his feelings warmed up even more. Soon after she finished her breakfast, she wanted to come with her father today to attend school. It turned out that his father was not as bad as his shadow and was still very attentive to him.

"Request your signature, because there's a file you haven't signed yet. As soon as you pick you up, there's something you want to say." said January.

Eyebrows approached and sat down in front of January. He took the file and checked it for a while, after it felt appropriate he gave his signature and returned the file to January.

"So, can we just talk here?" ask Eyebrows.

January looked at Alis as well as her parents. He nodded with doubt.

"About what?"

"The company from Europe wants to cooperate with our company, but he wants to meet directly with the owner of the company."

"When?"

"Today, it's 19:00." Looking at the clock in his hand. "But prepare yourself carefully because this is the largest company in Europe and the owner does not like the slightest mistake."

"So calm down, I'll try to be the maximum."

"Good." January smile. He is sure of the ability of Alis in managing and running his business because he has been forged by his grandmother starting from the age of 10 years and continues to study together with him until now.

"But I want to go to school with my dad." He looked towards January and glanced at his father for a moment. He was waiting for his father's approval.

Bastian nodded steadily, he was so happy at the request of his son. Actually, he was very clear about the development of Eyebrows through Riyan his oldest child, but he never knew where the position of the Eyebrows until the last few weeks. He also knew that Alis was very good at leading his company and only a few days ago did he know that some of the cafes that had unique decorations in this city belonged to Alis. It was not in vain that he sent it to his grandmother.

"Then. Excuse me first Om, Eyebrow." stood up and ruffled his hair Eyebrow for a moment.

"Be careful on the road." Shakila escorted her departure in January along with her husband and son.

"Ma, I'm leaving first. Fine at home." thrusting his hand at his wife and greeted by Shakila. Then Bastian kissed his wife's forehead. And so with Eyebrows, he did the same thing.

"Be careful on the street and Eyebrows, learn the right thing."

"Yes ma." replied Alis as she got into the car and waved her hand.

The car carried by the driver drove slowly out of the courtyard of the luxury house to bring the boss to their respective destinations.

The car was silent for a moment, only the sound of the book being flipped back and forth by the Eyebrows. Bastian looked at his son who looked busy reading it. He noticed it, probably because he fainted yesterday so he didn't study last night. That's what Bastian is.

"You got a repeat, son?" ask Bastian.

"No." answered Eyebrows briefly.

"Then that?" point Bastian at the thick book in the hand of Eyebrows.

"It's just an ordinary bookwell, not a school book." stared at Bastian who nodded his head.

"May I ask you something?" Alis seemed hesitant to say it.

"What's up, son?" asked Bastian who saw the restlessness of Eyebrow that was beside him.

"Why did you manage my life so much after you dumped me first?" looking sadly at his father.

"Dad love you Alisya, so it's only natural that I set you up. I want the best for you. I never threw you away, you misunderstood" Bastian said with a word of emphasis.

"But my father kicked me out." in a soft voice.

"You misunderstood Alisya. You didn't understand the situation at that time, because you were a child."

"What I don't understand, why don't you explain it now that I've grown up."

"It's not time yet" Bastian said.

"Why did you just show up now, after all this time since that incident?" Eyebrows asked with emotion. He is angry with his father because he feels his father is selfish and only takes advantage of him by matching him with the person his father wants. And one more thing, his father allowed this misunderstanding to drag on.

"Alisya, you'll understand later after I explain. But for now, please obey with my father's words first."

"All right." The eyebrows relented this time because he also did not want to be separated from his parents anymore. It all happened, even if it was useless.

The car stopped at the school gate. Some students seemed to notice the existence of the foreign-looking luxury car. They were again stunned by someone who got out of the car.

Eyebrows came down from the car with a deep look of sadness and regret by Bastian. Let Alis misunderstand all situations for now, but later she will understand too.
