That Handsome Ketos, my Beloved

Dinda Talks With Satrio

Dinda had just climbed into her bed to sleep, but she saw her Papa's car passing into the fence in front of her house. Dinda was curious and immediately went downstairs using the elevator to ensure the return of her Papa. Meanwhile, Satrio went into the house and went straight to the kitchen because he was already very thirsty. He poured water into a luxurious glass and drank the water. Later, Satrio was about to go to his study, but Dinda prevented him.

“Papa if you've come home why diem aja anyway?” dinda asked with her pouting face.

“Dinda, this is malem. You don't want to sleep?” satrio was confused. Usually, Dinda should have slept at this hour.

“I want to say something to Papa,” said Dinda. Satrio invited Dinda to sit on the living room couch and Dinda to her right.

“What's up, Honey?” satrio asked as he stroked Dinda's hair with his right hand.

“Pa, I already have a boyfriend,” said Dinda bluntly. Satrio did not immediately reply even though he was quite surprised by Dinda's words just now.

“Since when?” satrio asked after a few minutes he and Dinda did not speak.

“Last year,” replied Dinda.

“Terus why? You want to ask Papa your blessing to be with him?” satrio asked while looking at Dinda.

“Iya, Pa. I ‘kan have been dating him from last year, but Papa never came home. I don't feel good about him on the phone,” said Dinda.

“Sorry, yes, Dear. Now that Papa has come home, you can tell everything the same Papa,” Satrio said with a smile to make Dinda feel comfortable telling him.

“So, I have a boyfriend named Ryan Jonathan. He was the best student at school. We initially met the work of the tour. I'm the same she's been dating for a year. But, his father he does not agree with our relationship because his father had a conflict with Papa first. I can only go out with Ryan if Papa and Papa want peace. I can ask Papa for help to meet with Ryan's Papa and finish the conflict okay?” dinda asked as she put her hands together in front of her chest to take sympathy from her Papa.

“OK, Papa will try to reconcile with Jonathan. But you have to answer Papa's question. Why do you have to date Ryan?” ask Satrio.

“Because..Just he's the guy I like, Pa. I never thought about why I liked him, but all I know is that he is someone I like and I want so that I can keep in touch with him with the blessing of Papa and his parents,” answered Dinda honestly.

“OK. Try now you close your eyes and shadow your life five years into the future,” Satrio said. Dinda began to close her eyes and imagine her life for the next five years. He saw himself throwing hats with his friends at college, he saw that he was going to work in a big company, and lastly he saw himself married to someone who was very sincere in love with him.

“What are you imagining in your imagination?” satrio asked after Dinda opened her eyes.

“I graduated college, worked, and. married,” replied Dinda.

“Who couple do you see in your mind?” satrio asked while looking into the eyes of the youngest child.

“Why can you be sure it's Ryan?” reply Satrio.

“Because it's all just a shadow that's on my mind right now, but now I don't know what my future is going to look like. I just know what I'm imagining right now is my wish for my life in five years,” replied Dinda.

“Dinda, you already love her,” Satrio said.

“Hah?” sahut Dinda is confused.

“Your love for Ryan may outweigh your love for Papa in five years,” Satrio replied flatly.

“Papa said what the hell? I love Papa more than Ryan,” protests Dinda.

“Yes, Papa knows. Papa was just kidding,” Satrio said with a smile.

“Dinda, Papa would like to ask you one more time,” added Satrio.

“Why, Pa?” ask Dinda.

“If someday Ryan cheats on you, what will you do?” sahut Satrio's.

“If she cheats on me because she wants another girl, I will forget her as soon as possible,” replied Dinda without hesitation.

“Papa's daughter is an adult now,” Satrio said with a smile.

“Dinda, please tell Ryan that Papa will meet his Papa this week on Sunday afternoon at five o'clock on the golf course that used to be,” added Satrio.

“Okay, Pa. Thanks, Pa,” said Dinda as she hugged her Papa.

“Sama-sama, Dinda,” said Satrio while returning a hug from his favorite child.
