The Charm Behind the Mist

Father and Son 3

~Happy Reading~

Mr. Biantra has been working with his wife's family for decades, but earlier in the car and saw the workings and communication of his son with various people, Mr. Biantra felt that his wife's family was not comparable to Aaric's, especially himself.

'Pantes he could threaten his mother back then.' Mr. Biantra. 'He's not bluffing, but he can do what he says.' Mr. Biantra said again inwardly, and continued to observe the workings of his son in silence.

"Papa just rest, because me and Jekob are still working. I'll eat later, I'll wake up Papa." Aaric said, as they sat on a private jet to return to Jakarta. Mr. Biantra nodded in understanding, then closed his eyes.

But he could not sleep, because his chest was filled with pride and gratitude at the success of his son. All this time he continued to feel guilty to his eldest son, but when he saw it now was not felt, tears dripped on the edge of his eyes.

'Thank God, you never left him to live alone. Thank you for blessing his hand work. Let Your love also not depart from my youngest son, Recky. Wherever he is, please comfort him and strengthen him.' Mr. Biantra sat down with a grateful heart. His heart is more grateful, because it believes everything his son has is obtained from lawful work.

After arriving in Jakarta, Aaric gave his Papa a mask before they got off the plane. "Sapta, take us to the apartment later, bring Mr. Jekob home." Aaric said as they walked to the Sapta car park that was left parked at the airport.

"Ready, sir." Sapta said, while opening the car door for his boss and Mr. Biantra. Then the front car door for Jekob. They continued their journey in silence, especially Aaric and Mr. Biantra. Jekob is still talking to Sapta about his next meeting plans.

After arriving at the apartment, Mr. Biantra felt something different. Although the apartment was smaller than their previous home, but the atmosphere felt by Mr. Biantra was very different. Very comfortable to stay for a long time. He lifted his eyes across the room and returned grateful. His son had a good place to live. Back his dewy eyes could see the success of his son without help from his Mama's family.

Aaric brought his Papa suitcase and placed it in one of the guest rooms. "Papa, this is his room. Papa take a shower, 'cause I'm gonna take a shower, too. Finish the new bath we're talking." Aaric said as he exited the guest room. Mr. Biantra nodded in agreement, because it was what he wanted. He had not had time to take a shower when he left Malang. When entering the room, he noticed the entire room that would be his room, complete according to his preferences. With heart moved he opened the suitcase to take a change of clothes.

Mr. Biantra immediately went into the bathroom, because his body felt sticky. He did not have time to shower when returning from a meeting with farmers, because he was invited to go directly to Surabaya.

Mr. Biantra was stunned inside the bathroom, as he looked at himself in the mirror. In addition to her protruding cheekbones, her skin became sunburned brown. During his stay in Malang, he did not pay attention to his appearance or reflect. Because every day is associated with people who do not pay attention to the appearance of a person. Mr. Biantra so also did not care about the appearance. If he wants to shave, he only palpates the chin or the part to be shaved then shave, without reflecting.

Aaric, who had been in the bathroom, turned on the water and then shouted as hard as he could to stretch out his chest. He had been holding her all the way from Malang to the apartment, seeing her Papa's condition. He restrains and covers her from Jekob, Sapta and also her Papa. He did not expect, the condition of his Papa down as dramatic as that.

While soaking her body in the bathtub, she was reminded of a dream that Recky told her back then. His father busied himself in a quiet place only to dispel his thoughts towards them. Without feeling her tears dripping, in anger she had negative thoughts and said rudely to her Papa.

All the wealth he had, was in stark contrast to the current state of his Papa. It made her unable to endure her sadness in the bathroom. His father who used to be his pride and Recky while sitting in the chair of the Biantra Group did not separate.

Along their way from Malang, she knew her Papa was secretly watching her. Sometimes his rough hands wanted to touch his hands, but he suddenly pulled them again. Sometimes I want to say something, but keep quiet. That made Aaric aware, there was a distance between them, so that his father did not easily interact with him.

After the shower, he put on his shorts and a t-shirt and walked out of the room. He heated the water and then took a hot chocolate sachet to make a warm drink, so that he could relax for a moment before taking a break.

When he saw Mr. Biantra out of the room, Aaric was relieved to see his Papa had taken a shower and shaved to look a little fresher. "Pa, I want to make hot chocolate. Papa wants to make it too?" Aaric asked, as Mr. Biantra walked into the dining room, approaching him.

"Yes, I can." Mr. Biantra said as he sat on the dining table chair. Aaric felt a little happy, as there were ingredients to be able to talk to his Papa. He is trying to reestablish the communication that was cut off between them as Father and Son.

"Tomorrow Job will bring what Papa needs, if you want to work from home. Just tell me, so as not to get bored at home." Aaric said, while putting two cups of hot chocolate on the dining table. One cup he put in front of his father. He knew, His father was a great businessman, it was impossible to have lost his ability in a blink. He wanted to rebuild the confidence of his Papa who might be deliberately harbored by busy themselves with the farmers.

"In the meantime, Papa wants to rest while reading a book or watching TV in the room. If you have a book or reading here, lend it to Papa." Mr. Biantra expressed his desire, because it has long wanted to do that. In Malang there is a lot of free time, but it does not have a good reading. He also does not use the internet, to avoid knowing about the development of the company, which can shake his determination. So that he does not know the outside world other than his place of residence.
