Self-indulgence.

"It's not that simple, Alin. There's Theo's heart. I have to guard his heart. And also ... Fiona doesn't necessarily accept me anymore. You saw for yourself what drama I was doing to push him away. I lack a lot, I am a coward. Where would he want to be with a cowardly man like this. I'm just an old man with no guts. Compared to Theo I'm nothing, that kid is much more gentle than me."

"That's because you're too kind, Chris. Come on, papa's never selfish. Pursue what you want," Alin replied, starting to shake things up.

Kris nodded, refusing. "The problem is my rival Theo, my son. Not someone else's child. Later if I'm desperate, how and my relationship with Theo? Can you imagine what's going to happen?"

Kris shook his head. "No, Alin. Theo's the only precious treasure I have to guard."

So furious Alin to pat his own eel. "Then, do you think Theo would say thank you? Theo's a grown-up kid, a smart kid, coming down from you. So I guess he'll appreciate your honesty or even appreciate your sacrifice rather than something like this."

Chris was silent. I looked at Alin.

"If you were Theo. Are you going to calm down because you've taken the woman your father likes? Must be a no, right? Rest assured, he will give up. His future is still long. There are many other girls out there. Theo is smart, popular and obviously he's an adult, so he's not going to torture himself. She loves you the same. You're the only person she trusts, you're the one she wants to be proud of. You have to trust him too, Chris. Don't sacrifice yourself for her. He certainly wouldn't."

"So from that I can't do that. Let him be happy. Just be careful if you mess up by saying no. They match. And like you said, Theo's an adult, so there's no way he's messing around with Fiona. He knows the limits."

Alin again patted the eel, anxious with the ignorant Kris.

"Then Fiona, would you like to know that Fiona has a taste for you?" continued Alin.

"Fiona likes me?" The edge of Kris's lips rose slightly. "That's impossible, Alin. I saw her look, she hated it. It's just that with Theo he's laughing, he's happy."

Alin was getting anxious, he chose to sip his dragon fruit juice so that his emotions did not explode.

"You concluded too quickly. In my eyes it is not. He still loves you, trust me. You are not brave together. Try if you guys are having this problem, you will be happy, really. You guys are a good fit."

"Don't say anything that makes you turn selfish, Lin. You know it's impossible. Fiona hated it. Every time I meet you always avoid. What's the name if you don't hate?"

"Kris, come on. Don't be stubborn."

"Yes, I've come home you guys have fun."

"Why are you going home?" asked Julio astonished, because Kris had stood up. His best friend's face looked crumpled.

"Let's go, honey. He's not feeling well anymore and not feeling good."

"Can't you?" Julio scratched his head. The young lawyer stared alternately at Alin and Kris.

"Yes, can. You don't know what Kris is like. He is a high-budiped man. Don't you want to call him High School time?"

"Dina!" Kris snorted and glared furiously. Alin who could not stand was crushed. Julio's just scratching his head.

"Yes, whatever the pain may heal quickly." Julio patted Kris on the shoulder, Kris patted Julio on the arm, then said goodbye.

Kris continues to step up and stops when he accidentally meets Fiona, Aulia, and Filio and Theo. From a distance he observes. The four teenagers were seen laughing while walking.

Back Kris let out a long breath, then rubbed the rough face. It was a bit throbbing to his heart when he saw Fiona's cheerful face. That happy face Kris had never seen when they faced each other.

Ah wrong. Errata. The face once adorned his days. The days he misses so much right now. She misses the moment when Fiona blatantly says she loves him, blatantly saying she wants to get his heart. Not to mention the rumble that always goes into his phone every morning.

But what passed has passed. Sorry is useless. When he found out the truth, the girl turned 180 degrees. Not to mention the crazy dramas that Kris did to keep Fiona away from him. So Kris justifies Fiona's hatred.

"Yes, this is better" he murmured softly and then swung his legs back.
