"What are you guys doing here for?" Rocky asks and pushes Rihanna's body slowly.
Instead of being happy, Rocky actually asked the intention of his son and daughter-in-law to come visit. Rihanna stared in disbelief as her father was impressed to dislike her arrival. In fact, since from home the pregnant woman had hoped to get a warm hug reply from the father.
"Father, Rihanna is longing" said the pregnant woman.
"You shouldn't be in this place, Rihanna! Papa doesn't want you to be ashamed of having parents like you."
"Pa, every child has no right to have from whom he was born and from whose seed he is present in this world. Malik is sure, Kayla will also not be ashamed to have papa as her parents." Malik interjected because he felt the words of the in-laws needed to be straightened out.
"What Malik said was true, Pa. Papa was like this even before Rihanna came into the world. As a child, Rihanna already knew what papa's attitude was like," she confirmed her husband's remarks.
Rocky's heart felt plunge by the hot iron. How could those younger than him think more logically and not be fixated on circumstances. However, there is something Rocky is grateful for, namely the change in attitude of the princess who is now more polite.
"I'm sorry papa, Rihanna. Papa can't set a good example for you. But, papa's choice to entrust you to Malik is the right decision," said Rocky who finally surprised Rihanna.
"Well, do you know Malik?" tanyanya.
"He's the son of papa's best friend, Rihanna. You'll be happy with them" Rocky said as he pulled Rihanna into his arms.
Rihanna returned the warm embrace of her father. They both let go of the longing caused by their bad relationship in the past and have not met for a long time.
"So all of this has been arranged?" rihanna asked after breaking up the hug.
"First papa didn't know that the one who helped you was Malik, so papa kept looking for you. But after knowing that you're in the right place and with the right person, you finally think that maybe only in his hands is he calmly relinquishes the responsibilities of papa," Rocky explained without covering up anything.
"Oh yeah, you're pregnant, huh?"
Rihanna nodded small with a faint smile. It turns out that what is happening in his life today is the interference of the father. Slightly regretful about how Rihanna felt disappointed, her father knew how she felt about Danendra. However, with the heart to arrange his match with Malik, someone he had just known.
"Good health, Rihanna. Take good care of your future grandchildren," he said gently.
"Sit while you sit down, Pa. Pity Kayla if you keep standing," Malik said politely.
"Ah, yes. Come sit down, Rihanna."
"Yes, Pa."
They sit with Rihanna next to Rocky, while Malik is right in front of his wife. They chat a lot spending time together that they may no longer get freely.
"Papa, why did you do this? Why did you have to give yourself up?" rihanna's asking makes Rocky shut up.
Long enough the room that was initially crowded with their conversation turned silent. Rocky is still thinking of the right choice of words to explain to his only daughter.
"Please go to Rihanna, Pa!" rihanna cried after a long wait.
"Papa has to do this, Rihanna. Papa hopes you can understand the decision you have made. Papa's crimes are intolerable. How many lives have you lost just because of your ego? You must understand what you feel right now." Rocky breathed heavily.
"But what to do with papa handing himself over to the officer? Papa must know. The punishment that will wait for papa is not kidding. Rihanna doesn't want to lose papa," Rihanna chimed in with teary eyes.
"What request, Pa?"
"Take good care of your mama, honey. Repair your relationship before you regret it. About the woman who turned out to be the mother's child, she was innocent. All this is papa's fault" Rocky explained so that the princess no longer holds a grudge.
"How do you make peace with a destiny that never sided with me, Pa? Is it wrong if I feel destiny is too cruel to me?" ask Rihanna Lirih.
In fact, the bottom of Rihanna's heart is very eager to improve her relationship with her mother. However, again the selfishness that is deeply rooted in his soul makes his own mind lost by such unwarranted grudges.
Malik still quietly listened even though his heart actually felt pain. The wife said as if she wasn't there. Since then, he has always looked at her with love.
"Love your husband sincerely, knit your future with him and good descendants, Rihanna. Don't repeat papa's stupidity first. If you used to be unselfish, maybe your mom lived happily. But ... Papa is too cowardly to be a hero who can make him fall in love," he said with a wry smile.
If time could be repeated. Maybe he'll change the most painful part. Regret and guilt for his actions to the wife really cannot be erased by anything.
Hearing Rocky's regretful speech finally made Rihanna look fixedly at her husband's face which now lowered her head. Rihanna realized, maybe her words had hurt the good man.
As the atmosphere grew increasingly tense due to each feeling of the three humans who were in that place, suddenly a police officer came.
"Sorry, the visitation time is up. Prisoners must immediately return to the cell" he said firmly.
Inevitably Rihanna let go of the father who had taken the unilateral decision. Rihanna doesn't agree with Rocky. According to Rihanna, Rocky can change in other ways. Not having to give up the rest of his life in prison.
"Rihanna go home first, Pa. Take care of your health, Dad!"
"Surely, dear."
"Malik said goodbye, Pa," he said, copying the back of his in-laws' hands.
"Be careful, Malik. Take good care of papa's daughter" Rocky asks his son-in-law.
"Malik will do his best to look after Malik's wife, Pa. Papa must also stay healthy in order to see papa's grandchildren later," concluded Malik who was immediately hugged by Rocky.
Rocky whispered, "Make Rihanna fall in love with you, Malik. Just understand his childish nature. Papa believes you will be able to melt his rock-hard heart."
"This is God, Pa. Pray for the best for us" he asked sincerely.
"May papa ask you a favor?"
"What do you ask for, Pa?"
"Please take care of your divorce papers with Rihanna's mom, Malik. Papa wants to let him go so he can be happy by not being with papa."
Malik and Rihanna leave the police station after missing Rocky. The man who now gives up the rest of his life to take away all his sins. More sins to the wife who until now has never been happy for a lifetime.
