That night Nana was seen struggling on her laptop, she was completing her college assignment in the department of modern music art.
The girl seemed focused, until she was unaware that someone had opened the door to her room.
Yohan, who had just returned home from work and was still wearing her work clothes, entered her stepson's room, she walked up to Nana who was still unaware of her presence.
"Ehem." Yohan cleared her throat while sitting on the side of the bed.
Nana suddenly turned her head, she set her gaze to look for the origin of the deheman's voice. Then his gaze was fixed on the father who was sitting looking at him.
"Dad, what's wrong?" Ask Nana. The girl took off the glasses she was wearing, then turned her position to face the father.
"Are you busy?" Yohan asked back.
Nana shook her head, though,
"Not really. So, what's up, dad?" Ask Nana.
Since Nana grew up, Yohan very rarely came to Nana's room, the man came only when there was something important he wanted to talk about with his stepdaughter.
"It's nothing, I just want to have a quick chat with you. Do you have time? Ah no, can you take your time for a minute?"
"Of course." Answer Nana.
"Emm, how was your lecture?" Ask Yohan.
"Walking as well as always." Answer Nana.
"really?"
"Yes." Yeah." Answer Nana.
Yohan then shuts up, which also makes Nana quiet, the girl waits for the next question from her stepfather.
"Oh dad, just tell me the point, what exactly do you want me to say?" Ask Nana.
Yohan looked at the girl still in silence, for a moment she sighed.
"You're graduating in business management, right?"
Nana nodded, though,
"Yes." Yeah." The answer.
"What— did you also invite Alex to come to your graduation?" Ask Yohan.
The question made Nana seem to frown at a glance, but then she put a smile on her face.
"Yes." Yeah." Answer Nana.
"It doesn't matter, does it? Do you feel objection or—"
"No, not at all. Dad it doesn't matter if you invite him, after all he's your real father, you can't just ignore him right? He should feel your happy day too, right?"
"Em, yes." Nana replied accompanied by a nod of her head.
"But Nana—" Yohan hung up her words for a moment.
"But what's dad?" Nana asked who was waiting for the continuation of her stepfather's words.
"What did you invite him as? Did you also invite her as your guardian?" Ask Yohan.
Nana seemed silent for a moment, she lowered her head, but it was only for a moment. The girl again raised her head and looked at the face of Yohan the stepfather who had helped her mother to take care and look after her until she was this big.
Nana looked at the middle-aged man's face with a sincere smile engraved on his face.
If that's what you expect, then my answer is —
"Only mother and father have I invited as my guardian." Nana replied, her smile never faded from the girl's face.
Hearing the answer from her stepson, Yohan seemed to exhale, then returned Nana's smile. The middle-aged man got up and walked over to Nana, gently wiping the top of her stepdaughter's head.
"Rest, it's night. Take care of your. Tomorrow morning I'll take you to college. During the night, Nana." Yohan said, after that she went out of Nana's room.
Nana looked at her bedroom door with a blank look, after Yohan came out, the girl's eyes were glazed over, a circle of tears slowly dripping down, flowing down her cheeks.
"I can't speak anymore, that one is my real father, that one father who has taken care of me. How long do I have to be okay?" Nana murmured, a small sobbing sounded out from the girl's mouth. Occasionally his hand moved rubbing his flowing tears.
His heart felt tight, his head became difficult to think clearly.
Both of them were very kind to her, even if told to choose one of them, Nana would be very difficult. On the other hand, he also did not want to hurt the hearts of the two. All this time he always tried to be balanced on both. But in fact, he was always faced with difficult choices.
Yohan walks down the stairs to the ground floor, but then her legs stop when she sees Daisy who just entered the house.
"You just got home?" Yohan asked her second daughter, her daughter.
Daisy nodded, though,
"There's a visit to the hospital." Daisy answered with her lethargic face.
"Eat already?" Ask Yohan.
"Not yet." Answer Daisy.
"Follow dad, let's eat out." Yohan said, he then took out the car keys from his pants pocket.
"It's dad's night, if you knew, he'd be mad." Said Daisy.
"Because of that, we go quietly. Make this our little secret." Yohan said with a smile.
"All right, I'll change my clothes first."
"No need, just put your clothes on. You look good in all that white." Said Yohan who was responded to by a smile by Daisy.
"OK, but if we get caught later. Daisy will tell mom that dad forced Daisy to eat out." Daisy.
"No problem, come on." Yohan replied while thrusting her arm directly in reply Daisy by wrapping her hand on her father's arm.
They walked towards that exit with small chatter and light laughter. The father and son looked very close to each other, making another child who was a stepson envious.
A few minutes ago, Nana came out of her room to invite Yohan to talk and eat outside, because she felt that she and her stepfather had rarely spent time together lately.
But unfortunately, when he just wanted to go down the stairs, his gaze was fixed on Daisy who entered the house. Then the chatter of father and son became a spectacle for Nana.
The girl could only sigh at him, throwing away all the ugliness that was trying to enter his heart.
Nana turned around, about to go back to her room, but she was surprised by her mother who she had not realized had been by her side.
"Want to go eat out too?" Ask the mother, Rachel.
Nana shook her head, though,
"No, I have to finish my college assignment." Nana answered, who walked past her mother.
"Sin." Call Rachel, make Nana stop her footsteps.
"Yes?" Nana looked at her mother.
"Your father came to your room, right? What did he tell you?" Ask Rachel.
"Nothing, not important, we just had a little chat." Answer Nana.
"You've been spending a lot of time with your dad lately, haven't you?"
Nana was silent, but then she smiled as she returned the gaze of her mother.
"Yes." Yeah."
"Then don't feel sad if your dad spends time with Daisy." Rachel said.
"What does mom mean?"
"You're close to your biological father and your father is close to his biological son. Isn't that something that's fair?"
Nana smiled, taking her eyes off her mother.
"Mother's not telling me to keep my distance from you, is she?" Ask Nana.
"I know Alex is your real father, but don't get too close to him and ignore your stepfather who's been looking after you since you were a baby. You should know Nana, who has fought to raise you and who has ignored you." Rachel.
"Thank you for your advice, ma'am. But—that I know, none of them ignored me. So I don't know who that person you're talking about. If it's papa, then mom is wrong, papa never ignores me in the least. Ma'am, if only mom had given him the opportunity to take responsibility and not follow his own wishes, I wouldn't have been in such a difficult position." Nana said, the girl's voice sounded like she was holding back her sobs.
"Nana, when you're pregnant, she never had any intention of taking responsibility. He came late, he expressed his responsibility very late." Rachel rebutted her son's words.
"Don't you ever say, it's better to be late than not at all. Although it is too late, but papa already has the intention to be responsible. So, Nana begs mom, don't judge papa as you please. I know better what my papa is like." Nana said, she then turned around and returned to her room.
The girl entered her room while closing the door hard, as if it were a symbol of her emotions.
