"Your mother used to love looking at the moon. He said if we miss someone then we can see the shadow of his face on that moon." Mr. Mul spoke to his daughter with eyes still staring up.
Sabil looked at the moon as his father had said. Imagining his mother's face, the shadow smiled at him.
"How could you fall in love with your mom at that time?" Ask Sabil.
Mr. Mul chuckled at his daughter's question. Then his outstretched hand stroked the soft hair of the sabil.
"Do you want to listen to the story of father and mother when you first meet... Hmmm..."
"Yes, I want to..." The girl nodded her head so enthusiastically.
"Hahaha.well I'll tell you."
Sir began to tell me from the beginning he met his wife.
"We accidentally met under a drizzle that day. There were a lot of guys who liked your mom. Dad is very lucky to have managed to get his love," said mr. mul.
"Dad used to be not a good person, daddy was a little naughty too. At first I was hesitant to get your mother's love because many rich men came to propose to her. But everything was rejected by your mother. Arumi's parents, your grandfather and grandmother had opposed our relationship because you used to have nothing. But I'm not giving up, trying my hardest to prove that I'm worthy of your mother."
"Did grandpa and grandma really not like dad at first?" Tanya Sabil who does not know her grandparents because they died when the girl was a toddler.
"In a relationship it is not always going to run smoothly, there will be times when a problem hits it. Whoever is able to face problems with his partner, then the love between them will be greater and stronger. Like mother and father's love." Mr. Mul is unceasingly saying positive things.
"Sabil wants to be like a mother who gets a husband like a father" Sabil said.
"You'll get it, son, someday you'll find someone who'll make you happy." And at that time the new father could calm down.
They looked back at the moon that night, from there Arumi's face was smiling at her husband and daughter.
"Why are you suddenly asking like that. Are you in love?" Mr. Mul's question was very precise, even Sabil could not answer.
"I don't know what this father's love is" said Sabil, who finally revealed his grief.
Mr. Mul smiled to hear it, "Dad's daughter is an adult apparently, so you are upset.." he taped to the princess.
Sabil did not expect to get such a reaction from his father, he just smiled shyly.
The father again gently stroked Sabil's head.
"Love cannot be defined by words, if you can understand what you feel it can be called love."
"I mean dad?" Sabil's forehead shook with wonder.
"Hmmm... Did you miss him when you were far away?" Asked Mr. Mul and Sabil nodded.
"Do you feel happy when you're with him?"
"Are you upset when there's a woman close to him?"
Sabil was just a bearded man answering his father's question.
"That means you're jealous. You love her, son. Is that man Andra." Of course, Mr. Mul's guess is right, all this time the man who was close to his daughter won only Andra.
Sabil did not answer this time.
Is it true that I love her but why do I hesitate when I accept her proposal.
"Did Andra say something?" Ask the father again.
"What kind of thing is it?"
"Did he say he loved you?" Sabil.
"The woman is indeed a creature that is difficult to guess, sometimes we men have shown our attitude and attention to her but women still need a statement to convince her heart." Said Mr. Mul while patting Sabil's shoulder.
"Bright..." Sabil gawked at his father's words.
"Let's go in the night and rest, son." Mr. Mul got up and walked into the house. Leaving Sabil still raging with his own mind.
Sabil thought about what his father had told him. Does he really need a statement?
Yes, Andra didn't say he loved me, but he proposed to me, what does it mean that he loved me. Uhhh.....
He slapped his face on the pillow.
Her morning.
"Excuse me.." said a man in uniform outside his father's pastry shop.
Sabil who saw him so happy, he immediately approached him.
"Flower for the lady this morning, please miss." It turned out that it was the courier from the florist who had often delivered flowers to Sabil, until he memorized the girl's pretty face. If he does not remember his rival CEO Adiguna, he will certainly approach Sabil.
"Thank you brother" said Sabil, then he put his signature as a receipt.
"Finally the flowers came, too" said Amel who appeared behind him, making Sabil's cheeks meet red.

On the other hand, Andra was also the same as he kept thinking about Sabila.
Andra wants to propose and marry the girl but she also wants to wait for her mother to recover, in order to witness her happiness.
Tok, tock, tock
"Lake in.." he said.
"Master today there was a meeting outside at ten" Toni reminded her boss.
"Hmmm." answered Andra.
"I'll excuse you, sir."
Andra is back with her work. He should have been young, spending time with his friends. But he spent a lot of time with that pile of paper.
Actually Andra is not a problem, after all he also rarely hang out like the young people out there. It's not that he never knew the night world. Sometimes he also had to go to that place because sometimes his clients want to meet in that place. Andra also often consume liquor, but never to get drunk.
Drrrttt
His phone vibrated, a call came in from his mother.
"Hallo Mom's..." Andra's voice softened.
"Hallo son, is Mom bothering you dear."
"No Mom, what's up?" Ask Andra.
"Mom missed you...."
Andra sighed, her heart throbbing pain hearing her Mom's voice sounding increasingly weaker with each passing day. He couldn't do anything when Mom was in pain. Maybe God was fair to give punishment to his servant but as a son he could not bear to see his mother for too long to bear the pain.
