Rahman stepped into her daughter's room with mixed feelings.
He entered slowly and their eyes looked at each other when he was already in the room.
Amay stared fixedly at the middle-aged man before her with teary eyes. For some reason his heart suddenly ached remembering what kept them apart for a very long time and distance.
Rahman felt his heart stop beating to see his beloved daughter who was so eagerly awaiting her presence before his eyes.
"Wouldn't Papa hug Amay? " said Amay broke the silence with tears coming down freely on her cheeks.
Rahman immediately scatters onto her Princess' bed and hugs Amay so tightly that she cries with Amay. He kissed Amay's face so enthusiastically repeatedly even though Amay's face was wet with tears. Then he hugged Amay again by kissing the head of Amay affectionately.
"Bad papa! Why is Papa coming now? Amay kangen Papa's? All this time Amay thought Amay was a kara, Amay thought Amay was an orphan! Bad papa! Daddy doesn't love Amay! " said Amay with a hoarse voice in Rahman's arms.
"Sorry, dear Papa! Sorry Papa! Sorry Papa made you feel alone, baby! Sorry Papa! " sahut Rahman berdubi-tubi by kissing the head of his son.
All those in the room were unable to shed tears at the meeting of the child and father for the first time in nearly 26 years.
"Let's get out! Give them both the space to let go of longing and get to know each other more deeply! " said Papa Idris in a soft voice to everyone including Izam.
They all nodded and slowly came out of Amay and Izam's room one by one without knowing Amay and Rahman who dissolved in a longing atmosphere between father and son.
"Little daughter Papa is already this big! And now she's a wife and a mother! Mama you must be happy up there to see her beloved daughter grow up to be a great, tough and strong woman! " said Rahman as she warmly kissed her Princess' forehead.
"Mama... Want to meet Mama, Pa? How does Mama Pa look and personality? What's Mama like in Papa's eyes? " sahut Amay looked up at Rahman.
Rahman fixed his seat, he leaned his body against the back of the bed. He pulls Amay's body gently and brings her into his arms.
"Your mother is a Bule woman who is not only beautiful in her face, but also beautiful in her heart. Papa met your Mama when Papa was at S1 school in the Netherlands. That morning Papa was about to leave for college, Papa accidentally saw a woman who had an argument with a man who turned out to be a car driver who almost hit a grandmother who was about to cross the road.
The woman saved the grandmothers and immediately threw the car with her shoes so they clashed at the roadside.
The man was angry, but the beautiful woman was even more violent by beating the man at the level of the grandmothers without feeling fear. The man ran away and left without apologizing. Hearing that someone was laughing behind her, the woman turned her back and mercilessly scolded this Papa of yours with an angry face but looking adorable in Papa's eyes. That was the beginning of our introduction at that time until our relationship continued to be friends and became lovers.
After college, Papa decided to apply for your Mama to be Papa's wife with the approval of your Opa and Oma. We got married in simple terms at the Indonesian embassy in Australia because your mother was originally Australian. Papa brought your mother to Indonesia after she finished taking care of all the documents for one month after we got married.
Mama mu continues the work of Oma mu to take care of social foundations and Orphanages in the management of Oma mu. Every day your Oma always takes your Mama away to show off to all her friends and acquaintances. Because your mother is an adaptable person, your mother easily mingles with your Oma friends. Exactly three years of our marriage, your mother got sustenance by having you in her womb which made all the family happy. But baby, when you were four months in the womb your Oma and Opa were gone for good. But before leaving, Oma mu had said that later his granddaughter gave the name Sumayyah a female fighter who was first martyred to defend the religion of Allah. It turned out that what Oma mu said was true, her grandson was a strong and tough woman in that he was alone with no parents on his side. She has a new family that loves her sincerely and makes her a sholeh and obedient woman to the religion of God" Rahman said with a happy smile to embrace Amay.
"Amay want to see Mama, Pa? Amay wants to make a pilgrimage to Mama's grave! " said Amay in a soft voice.
"Yes baby! We will visit your mother! Your mother must be happy to visit her favorite daughter and also her future grandchild! " reply Rahman answered with affection while peeping the top of Amay's head.
"Now princess Papa rest huh? Let her body recover quickly! " pinta Rahman by loosening her little embrace.
"Wouldn't want to not be in Papa's arms? " whimper Amay with spoiled.
"Yes, Papa will hug Princess Papa until he falls asleep! Come on, Papa sing your Mama's favorite song when you're in your Mama's womb first! " reply Rahman replied with gaits back hugging his son who did not want to be released.
"Twinkle - Twinkle little star.. How I wonder what you are.. Up above the world so high... Like a diamond in the sky.. Twinkle - Twinkle little star... How I wonder what you are... " Rahman sang the song over and over again until the sound of a soft snoring Amay in his arms.
Very carefully, Rahman let go of his embrace and placed Amay's head slowly on the pillow. He then went down very slowly afraid Amay woke up and once his feet were on the floor, Rahman raised the blanket to the chest of Amay. He crouched down in front of Amay by gently rubbing his son's chubby cheeks.
"Maggie's... Have you seen our beloved princess? She's just as beautiful as you've wanted all along! His face posture was very similar to mine, with the same eyes as yours! Her smile is so beautiful just like your smile Maggie! I'm sorry Maggie, 26 years older I just saw our son, hugged him tightly, told him how much I loved and loved him..I'm sorry Maggie.. I beg of you, take care of our children and future grandchildren from up there, Maggie! My son and I love you so much, baby! You will always be in both of our hearts! " rahman cried with a stifled voice so that Amay would not hear his cry.
He then wiped his tears, warmly kissed Amay with love and affection.
"Good sleep, Papa! Papa loves you very much and loves you wholeheartedly Papa! " said Rahman softly before coming out of his son's room.
Everyone looked towards Rahman as Rahman walked up to them.
"Amay how's Pa? How to stay alone? " ask Izam without being awkward to his Father-in-law.
"Amay's sleeping again! Oh yes son Izam, thank you for loving my daughter without knowing her origin all this time! " reply Rahman as he said with a face full of sincerity.
"Why is Papa thanking me? It is precisely I who thank you Papa has given me a wife who is so good and beautiful like Amay.. I'm proud that Amay was born to parents like Papa and my late mother! Papa is a great and strong man just like Papa's daughter. If I were in Papa's position, I probably wouldn't be able to survive the loss of my loved ones for decades and be separated from my own flesh and blood. I'm proud of Papa! " say Izam solemnly to Rahman.
Rahman then approached Izam and hugged his son-in-law's body tightly with pride and happiness. In her heart, she felt so happy and lucky that her son had a husband like Izam.
"Oh yeah, Papa wants to go first! There's business for a minute! Come on Hardi let's go! Excuse me first Besan, Mas, Dik Rohim! " said Rahman politely by bowing his head.
"Loh, later if Amay nanyain sampean how Mas? " bulek Saroh asked somewhat objected because he knew how the character of Amay.
"I'm leaving won't be long Dik Saroh! If Amay wakes up, say I'll be back in a minute! After my business is done I come back here! " wanted, Rahman answered kindly.
"Yo wes, watch out yo Mas! Amay let us take care! " said Mr. Lek Rohim as soon as Rahman walked out with Hardi.
"Besan, why amay nanyain Papa again? " ask Mama Lia curious.
"That's Bu besan, Amay that now I look back again like when he was 10 years old. He will cry and whine when Mas Rahman is not there. Just like in Kang Sulaeman lived in several cities so spent a week leaving Amay with me and his Abah children. As soon as Kang Sulaeman came home he began to show his potent nature by sleeping with his Abah companion. But when he woke up he immediately cried shock when he saw his Abah was no longer beside him, whereas at that time his Abah was praying in his room. I am afraid that later Amay will like that again, he will show his spoiled nature to Papa who he has never known. Although they have only met for the first time, but the inner bond between the child and the father cannot be underestimated, let alone a father is the first love of his daughter. Later if Amay kayak that how do we explain it? " bulek Saroh replied with a confused and anxious face.
"Bulek be calm! If Amay nanyain Papa Rahman later, Izam will say slowly if Papa again has a business for a while! Izam is sure Amay will understand, Bulek! Anyway Bulek don't worry ! " said Izam with such confidence.
"Hopefully so! " muttered Bulek Saroh nodded.

Inside the car, Rahman stared outside the car with a flat, cold gaze.
"What's our plan, Hardi? Is everything going well? When did you meet me with our allies in the Atmanegara group? " ask Rahman without letting go of his gaze to the outside streets.
"Everything is going well, sir, you plan to meet them a week before Atmanegara group's annual board meeting next week! " wanted, Hardi replied with confidence.
"That means after my daughter's wedding reception? " ask Rahman while looking at Hardi.
"That's right, sir! " reply Hardi with a nod.
Rahman looked outside again with his fingers playing tapping on the car window.
"Is there any word from the pigeons? " ask Rahman again without looking at Hardi.
"If this week there is no master! Because according to our plan not to rush to ensnare a Damian! Because we don't want Damian's henchmen to be suspicious of the pigeons and endanger the lives of the pigeons themselves! But sir don't worry, because pigeons are smart. He will make Damian fall into his trap willingly! " wanted, Hardi answered with such certainty.
"Good then! Arriving at the office, hold an emergency meeting with some of the directors who sided with me! I'll deliver something in front of them! Speed up road! " rahman replied while ordering the driver to somewhat speed up.
Seriate...
