Ko Derrick and I entered Cherrie's office, afraid she wouldn't accept us, but somehow she let us meet her. It should be a good sign but it could be that he is just curious.
“Sihlakan Bu,Pak.” The secretary brought us in. He folded his arms while sitting on his big chair looking at us. Typical of his overbearing style, he kept up his full defense.
“You two heh, I have many surprises these few days , now you can come here. Want to apologize?” Nothing's been nyolot.
Sighs, no, be patient, for this time it's okay to apologize first, even if this is the wrong one, the important thing is that he wants to see Papa later, Papa later, but if not yes next time if he looks for problems, in challenge all.
“Yes, I'm sorry for our quarrel.., sorry we forget what happened.” He looked at me with a cynical smile.
“Why can you apologize, because your boyfriend asked you, this doesn't make sense to me. And this gangster I don't think is the one who does things for no reason, especially apologizing, didn't you guys put a sky-high style on me before, and even your girlfriend challenged me, and you came to apologize, your heads hit something? What's your destination?”
“Cherrie, can't you listen to people talk first? Don't just invite a fight?” Ko Derrick isn't as patient as I am.
“You're the same.You think I'll forgive you. Don't be too pretentious to be an angel if you're a jerk.” Cherrie replied equally sharply, if I had no purpose had been disbanded from this meeting. I gave Ko Derrick a sign that I was the only one going into this conversation.
“I'm sorry because we're family... Papa doesn't want to see us fighting with each other. And Papa's sick now at the thought of you hating him, you guys fought yesterday instead.” He was silently digesting my sentence, all my words were too sudden to him, it took him a while to realize who I was.
“Who are you? Papa's? Could it..”
“I Anita Papa's eldest daughter in Jakarta. My mother died four months ago. I just made up with Papa when my mom died, I know who you really are yesterday, Ko Derrick told me. I just don't like the way you underestimate me. So at that time I had a fight with you, but whatever it is Papa is now sick, if we fight will not solve anything.” He's laughing now.
“34 Years I live with hating Papa if you want to know, when I made up with him was at my mother's funeral who died suddenly in her sleep and she couldn't see me forgive my Papa,that seems to be my regret for a lifetime, I didn't come here to beg you for anything or have any purpose for Papa, Papa is sick at the thought of his quarrel with you, I was afraid that somehow it happened like my Mama, I regretted a lifetime because of it. So I figured if I could work on something to bring you guys together again, I'd give it a shot. If you forgive him, meeting him will be a relief for him, and for you of course... If you don't forgive me, it's your decision, I'm just telling you this news, that the Papa you hate is still thinking about you, and we don't want to fight with you. That's it..”
“Good heart, acting as an angel turns out, you think you will get my attention..” He stayed in his stance. stared cynically at me. If he doesn't want to, that's his decision. I just told him what to say. I let out another long breath, it was very difficult to get involved with him.
“I just want you not to make a decision too late, everything I've already told you. It's up to you.”
“It's up to me, you think you can dictate to me.” Jesus, you say 1 word he'll scold you 3x his fold.
“Yes as you said, I can't dictate. I just tell you what I have to say. Two more days Papa's birthday, if you remember, you can come home, he'll still be in Jakarta for a while. He'll be very happy. Sorry once again our first meeting was not good. We go back first..do not want to bother you.” I stood up followed by Ko Derrick.
“Call me if you want to know where Uncle Lam.” is With Ko Derrick saying we're leaving him now.
“Hmm... seems to be difficult.” Derrick looked at Cherrie's attitude towards us and concluded.
“So, I feel like I've tried my best. Whether he comes or not is his decision. Hopefully he will soften, Papa will be relieved once.”.
And I feel no remorse for seeking their peace.
