The charm of Father-in-Law

A hug from Father-in-law

"What's up, Dad?" ask Hana to Dante who is sitting in the family room while holding the television remote.

"Sit down" Dante replied as he patted the empty side.

"I'm sorry?" Hana objected to her father-in-law's request to sit next to her.

"Oh, sorry." Dante was only aware of his actions, because he was focused on the television in front of him.

Dante let out a long sigh, looking at his daughter-in-law who was already sitting on the other sofa, a distance away from him.

"There's actually something I want to ask. Answer honestly," said Dante.

Hana straightened her head, looking at her father-in-law who looked very serious wanting to talk to her.

"Are you still willing to maintain this unhealthy marriage?" ask Dante to his son-in-law.

Hana's heart beat very quickly to hear her father-in-law's question that seemed to know about her feelings.

"Jawab Hana, quite frankly I feel guilty about you, and I feel guilty because my son has made you suffer" said Dante, staring at Hana who was silent.

Hana bit her lower lip with a tight feeling. If he can run away from the fate that is holding him, then he will run as far as possible. But, unfortunately he couldn't, he still thought about both his parents. What if he divorced Gery, surely the man would make his family bankrupt. And Hana does not want if both her parents live miserable because of it.

"Dad, I-I"

"Don't be afraid to say it Hana. Here I'm the most powerful, not Gery." Dante cut Hana off quickly.

Hana lowered her gaze which was soaring. Then looked at Dante again with a feeling that was not careless.

Hana nodded her head, quickly hitting the chest of Dante's field. True said his father-in-law, if he needed a shoulder to wake up to shed tears and everything that he had been quieting. Hana was crying bitterly in the chest of her father-in-law's field.

Dante's two hands hanging hesitantly grabbed the slender body of his son-in-law. Rubbing Hana's back slowly and gently, as if channeling strength to her daughter-in-law.

Similarly, Hana unconsciously hugged Dante's body tightly, even he did not care anymore if Dante's clothes were wet because of his tears.

A warm embrace that Hana had never felt from her father. And let's just say that Dante is his father who is giving strength to him.

But still Dante's embrace channeled a strange feeling into his chest.

"It has. You are no longer alone. I'll help you break up with Gery" said Dante, after Hana calmed down.

Dante unraveled the embrace and looked at Hana's sad face. Then he cupped his daughter-in-law's face with both hands, wiping Hana's tears with his thumb.

"Thank you, Dad," Hana said in a hoarse voice.

Their gazes met and locked each other. The two of them were fixated for a while, and broke off their gaze upon hearing the sound of the door opening from outside.

"Gery!" dante jolts when he sees his son coming home drunk and his clothes are messy.
