SUPPOSE THAT...

DADDY

"Why didn't you tell me about Dave being engaged to the Adam Family ?" andreas asked that morning with the phone on his right ear.

He is neat with a blue dongker suit that is paired with a white shirt and a dark blue tie with a circular motif.

"Father who rules all, I am also not involved in the matter of the engagement." a woman's voice sounded.

"Why are you quiet...? You're not her mother..?" The 50-year-old man with his hair neatly combed back was wrinkled. "I never liked Evander Adam, but could-can his Uncle Hertoni betrothed Dave with his daughter...??" Andreas walked back and forth in his study.

"You know Papa's hated you since our divorce, and Papa's always trying to do whatever it takes to keep Dave away from you" the voice of the woman on the phone sounded. " So don't blame me, if the matter of life companion Papa chooses from the family who has been in conflict with you."

Andreas pinched his forehead, what the woman in the phone was talking about was true. He took a long breath.

"...I loved Dave, and loved him even more after seeing him as big and intelligent as he is now..." The tone of voice of the man with the wrinkles under his narrowed eyes was low. " I just want to make sure that she's going to live a happy life.have a good career, get married, have kids.." Her bright brown eyes were overcast. " I don't want Dave depressed because I know what Uncle Hertoni looks like."

The woman who was sitting alone in her bedroom with the thick knit scarf that hugged her body was silent for a moment. "....Angela's a good girl, Dave likes her too. So there's no compulsion in the engagement, you take it easy." she said softly.

Andreas flopped down on the large sofa that was in front of his desk. "I'm glad it's what you said" he said. "I saw that Angela was kind and gentle, and most importantly Dave was happy with her." she said.

Andreas was silent for a moment. "...Besides that, I called you also want to talk about something else.."more.

"Another thing...??" ask for voice from inside the phone.

"Dave is about 20 years old" he said. Back The man who had been neat and looked ready to leave for the Office fell silent. "....All assets belong to...."

TOK !

TOK !

TOK !

"I'll call you later." Andreas immediately turned off his phone as soon as he heard the door of his workspace on someone's tap, and kept his phone in his pants pocket.

"Lock !" he said in a loud voice.

Dave walked in wearing a black suit and a white shirt in a matching tie with his suit.

Unknowingly Andreas immediately stood up with a stunned face staring at his newly-entered son.

"Dad, I'm sorry.I want to ask you a favor..."

Before Dave could finish his sentence, his Daddy walked quickly toward him. Hugging himself until he almost jerked back, made Dave startled and could only be silent for a moment.

The embrace of his father grew tighter with his wide shoulders shaking. Dave did not understand why his father suddenly behaved like that, but he happily hugged him back.

Until a few minutes Andreas still hugged and rubbed his back, making Dave increasingly clueless.

"...Dad, what's the matter..??" he finally asked.

Hearing Dave's voice, makes Andreas like re-awakening from the world of his daydream. He immediately took off his embrace.

"You must be surprised..." Andreas laughed to cover up the feeling of having to look at Dave's figure reminiscent of someone. "You look good in this suit and shirt." He patted the shoulders of his son who did look more handsome with his appearance.

Dave cleared his throat a few times before speaking. "Dad, today I'm going to Grandpa's place to help out in the Sales Division." he said.

"Ah, that's why you're dressed this neatly...??" Andreas still smiled broadly as he patted her on the shoulder with a feeling of affection and pride. And it was visible from the bright brown eyes.

"Yes." Yeah." Dave smiled looking at the face of Daddy who was very dear to him. "I'm not very familiar with Market Strategy.I..." Dave's face bowed. This was the first time he asked his father for help, and it made him awkward and embarrassed.

Andreas understands what Dave means. "Come on .." Take her while walking towards her desk. " I have a good book that you can learn from and it will definitely help you a lot in the sales field." He turned his head and smiled broadly at Dave who was walking after him.

Dave smiled at his father's back, noticed Andreas's way of walking from behind, making Dave imitate his father's every move.

"The first time you jump directly into the field, you will indeed feel confused even though you already know the basics." Andreas said while standing behind him.

He was looking for a book that would help Dave in Sales among the long rows of book cabinets located behind his desk.

While Dave was waiting, he circulated his gaze throughout his father's workroom filled with cabinets containing books.

He threw away his face and let out a long sigh when he saw the wall facing directly towards his father's desk, there was a family photo consisting of his father, his wife, and his wife, Kirana and Kiandra are babies and in the arms of their mother.

It reminded Dave of himself who until editing a picture of his father that he got in a magazine, then attached with a photo of himself and his mother, his mother, because he doesn't have any family photos that his father has.

"Where do I put it...??"

At the sound of his father's voice muttering, made Dave eliminate all his feelings of envy and heartache.

Accidentally Dave's hand nudged a picture figura on his Dad's desk just nearby. With Dave taking his prank, photo 3 men Men, 1 sitting and 2 standing.

Dave recognized the one sitting as his father's grandfather. He only met her a few times before he died.

One of the 2 men in the range of 25-30 years old who are in black and standing on the right side is Ayannya, it is visible from the narrowest brown eyes of the other, the most beautiful of his own, and the typical white East Asian skin that has not changed until now.

Dave was still wondering who was standing on the left side of his Grandfather, because only this time he saw his figure, when suddenly Andreas had already snatched the figura from him.

Dave was surprised and looked directly at his father.

"This is a book that can help you." Andreas' face looked stiff. He handed a hadcover book to Dave, while his other hand put the picture in reverse.

Dave gulped, grabbed his book. "...Thank you Dad." he said, looking down.

Just this time his father was rude by seizing the picture figura from him until his finger was accidentally scratched by the edge of the figura, which fortunately was not injured. And the stiff face of his father, just this time Dave saw it.

"Why...??" Dave's forehead wrinkled. "Who is the person in the photo...? Why has Dad's attitude changed..? Did I do something wrong...??" Many questions were flogging in the 19-year-old man, but he who since childhood has been taught to refrain and not interfere too much in the problems of others, he said, he could only swallow all those questions to himself.

At see his father who is still standing and looking away from him, making Dave not feel good.

"...Excuse me Dad.." he finally said. Without waiting for his father's response, Dave immediately turned around and walked towards the door.
