SUPPOSE THAT...

SUPPOSE THAT...
A FATHER



"Well.who is this who's visiting on Sunday ?" Andreas pretended to be friendly when he saw a man his age had been sitting on the living room chair.


He and Adriansyah were never familiar. Almost the same colossal nature and once bickering debated a thing until the stock war between the Company, making them like water and oil.


"Where is your son ?" adriansyah asked as Andreas sat in front of her.


Andreas raised one eyebrow.


"The cave. Where is she ?" ask again. "Regardless of whether or not he's your biological child, isn't he still your responsibility ?" the man in glasses and glasses said.


Andreas berdehem. "Isn't it clear what Dave told you the other day ?"


Andriansyah's forehead wrinkled. "That girl, your own daughter, right ?" his tone of speech was pressing.


" Yes." Yeah." Andreas responded casually. "And I'm grateful that Dave really became my son through their marriage."


Adriansyah sighed. His face showed an eternity that Andreas had never seen before.


He is still waiting for what the Owner of the import-export business network will do. Andreas doesn't want to be rash. If an Adriansyah Adam wants to come to his house, surely it is because there are things that make him desperate and there is no choice.


"Where is Dave ? I want to meet." he repeated after being silent for a while.


"Why did you meet him ?" andreas asked back.


Adriansyah clenched her hands on her thighs. "..I beg of you," he looked into Andreas' eyes deeply. Makes Andreas a little surprised because only this time his business rivals were humbling themselves on him. "Where's Dave, I have to meet him."


"The cave.." Kirana held Dave who was about to get out. They had been eavesdropping from next to the room. It was already forbidden, but curiosity made them still want to hear what the two old men were talking about.


"Jose father is looking for me." Dave said slowly. Almost like a whisper.


"What if he hits or hurts you ?" Kirana's worried.


Dave smiled as he clasped Kirana's hand which was still holding her back. "Do you think Dad would just shut up if anything happened to me ?" tanyakanya.


Kirana's face changed. The clutches of his hand on Dave's arm. He knew his father would never let anything happen to Dave, what else was this in his own house.


Kirana clung to the edge of the wall as she watched Dave walk out of the room into the living room. Kirana bit her lower lip in dismay when she saw Angela's father rise to his feet as soon as she saw Dave.


Andreas who thought Adriansyah was going to hit Dave got up from his seat to get in the way.


"Dave." With a red face, the fifties man was holding onto Dave's shoulders. Making Dave's eyes round and Andreas who had already stood up surprised and pecked between the two. "Angela's dying.my son's dying.." she told me.


Dave was stunned to see the man who a while ago was still very familiar and friendly every time he visited the house of the Adam Family.


Andreas is not moving. In his view Dave who was still silent stood face to face with Angela's father who held both shoulders firmly.


"Only you can help him.." Adriansyah.


Dave pensive. He was shocked, not knowing how. He looks very shocked.


"Don't get Dave into a business that's no longer his responsibility." Andreas tried to mediate.


Adriansyah took off her grip on Dave's shoulder and turned to Andreas. "We always disagree on anything" he said. "You also know what I look like." he gulped with great difficulty.


Adriansyah looked down with frustration. He clenched his two hands on his right and left.


Andreas and Dave both flinched. Even Kirana, who was quietly peering over the wall, closed her mouth with wide-eyed eyes as a noble like Adriansyah Adam, lined up in front of Andrew and Dave.


Dave's mouth held in disbelief. So did Andreas who for years knew who Adriansyah was.


"..Whatever I'm gonna do to my son Angela." she looked down deep. He no longer cared about his pride. As long as his daughter is happy, he will do anything. So infinite was the old man's love.


"Uncle.." Dave shaking. No longer know how to behave.


"We're both fathers of a girl." Adriansyah looked at Andreas who looked towering.in front of him who was kneeling. "You should be the one who knows how I feel right now" he looked at Andreas. "My daughter's years were waiting for the moment where she could sit at the table with the man she loved. And now all of a sudden the guy cancels everything."


Dave's face furrowed painfully realizing his mistake.


"Perhaps if it was you, that man would have gone home with a deformed body." Adriansyah said, insinuating the nature of Andreas who is always protective of his family.


Andreas is not flinching. He was still shocked to see the man struggling in front of him. For Andreas, even if this was a dream, it was too impossible for an Adriansyah Adam to do this.


"My daughter is dying Andreas" he said, filled with a sense of urgency. "He could die at any time with none of his food entering his body for almost a month." his tears flowed. "I came to this house with the surname of the Family and all that was attached to me." he held his own chest with his right hand. "I'm just a Dad willing to give up the Company, the treasures and everything he has for his daughter's happiness." he stared fixedly at Dave.


Kirana. He was no longer strong and chose to turn away. He walked past his mother and Dave's mother who were still chatting in the living room.


"Kira ?" Marisa stood up. "Sorry" he told Eva.


Eva nodded in understanding and invited Marisa to chase after Kirana who went up to the second floor.


"Kira ?" Marisa knocked on Kirana's room door several times. But there's no answer. Until finally Marisa decided to grab the door handle and open it.


Marisa's face paled as she saw Kirana lying on her side against her. He closed the door and slowly walked closer to Kirana.


Marisa sat on the edge of the bed and increasingly could not bear to see her daughter was already covered in tears while hugging her beloved Pucca doll.


"Dad Angela said something bad ?" tanyanya while gently stroking her head.


Kirana nodded while wiping her tears.


Marisa looked sadly.


Kirana is trying to toughen up. Many times he wiped his tears that kept flowing, then rose to sit beside his mother.


"Mom.." her face was staring at Marisa. "You didn't like Daddy, did you ?" tanyakanya.


"Why all of a sudden..?" Marisa doesn't understand.


"Jawab only, ma'am, I beg you.." Tears re-drenched his eyes, which strangely made those bright brown eyes even more beautiful.


Marisa took a long breath. "Yes, Kirana." replied Marisa while wiping away the tears on her son's cheek. "Your mother didn't just dislike it. But I hate your Daddy so much." he stared at his daughter's pretty face nicely. "But over time and thanks to your presence. I'm starting to feel the sincerity and love of your Daddy."


The mother and son looked at each other with Marisa stroking Kirana's long hair to the end.


"Why suddenly ask that Kirana ?" ask Marisa slowly.


Kirana's gaze immediately opened. "Mom, I don't want to be happy above the suffering of other women" she said, looking at her mother's face. "If time could turn hate into love. I also wish time would make me forget my love for Dave." His tears flowed back.
