The Father's Lies

The Father's Lies
Forgive Dad



"It's okay jun, it's not sick anymore". Farhan tried to stand up with the help of his mother.


"Sorry Juan ya Han, sorry also because of this commotion". Junot said it looks a little unpleasant.


"Yes Han, Juan was insulting you too much. I'm sorry for insulting you too". Said Rendi extending an apologetic hand.


"It's okay, Ren, Jun. I'm sorry you guys". Farhan said kindly and shook Rendi's hand.


"Makasi ya Han, Ooo yes, is this really your cafe Han?". Say and ask Randy.


"Mmmm" looked towards Bayu and replied with a smile "This belongs to our family Ren, this is thanks to the idea and modelled on my adoptive brother Bayu". Farhan said with a smile.


"It's just like you have, but you look great Han dared to open a business at a young age". Added Junot. "You are indeed smart and humble Han, only Juan considers you an enemy. I'm sorry Han can't defend you in front of Juan. I tried to explain the incident at that time, but juan ignored my explanation and was furious at the end for no reason when he saw you". Junot again.


"It's okay, Jun, you guys don't have to worry. Just pray Juan knows what they're doing wrong." Answer Farhan again.


"Alright, maiasi once again huh Han, I will bear the loss of this commotion". Junot answered and took the wallet out of his pocket to get the money out.


"Alright, no damage. Just pay for the food you've spent". Said Farhan trying professionally and counting their spelled orders.


After he finished paying Junot and his three friends turned away. Farhan and Bayu tidied up the table that had been destroyed due to the commotion.


After cleaning and tidying the table Bayu approached Farhan.


"Han, you have to be careful with Juan. He looks so hate you Han". Sayu conveyed his enthusiasm.


Farhan returned a smile "Mas Bayu take it easy. Maybe Juan has another problem that pisses him off. It's impossible because of the mistake of that time he was angry with me". Farhan.


"You mean Han?". Bayu's question did not understand Farhan's expression.


"I've seen Juan cry after High School graduation. Munkin family problems, so he poured his anger on me which happened to be a misunderstanding yesterday. I think Junot knows better, so Junot just keeps quiet when Juan is tough." Farhan again.


"I don't think much of you Han, you want to understand the person who hurt you. How long are you patient like this Han?". Obviously Bayu.


"Mas Bayu, I'm just trying not to make a mistake and forgive the person who did me bad. Although sometimes I'm a little provoked, but I will try to be patient Mas". Farhan.


Bayu was stunned by Farhan's words and looked slightly mused.


"Mas, that's why you're dumb. Is there something wrong with my words?". Said Farhan which made Bayu a little surprised.


"Eeehhh ga, not wrong." Bayu looked a little nervous.


Bayu secut wiped his tears and lowered his head to hide his sadness.


"Han, you're so easy to forgive someone who's trying to be mean to you. I cannot forgive my father's mistake he did by accident. Am I Han's bad boy?". Sayu expressed her sadness.


Farhan sighed "Mas Bayu, even though Bayu hated Mas's father, he was still your father. He has raised you to be a great man, he has loved you and so he can't afford to see you disappointed that he ended his life. Besides the mistakes of the past called karma for him but he definitely did not plan it for his son. Which father does not love his son". Farhan.


Bayu is stunned and feels guilty for hating his father. Bayu began to shed tears because he could not contain it anymore.


"It's all Han's fault, because I'm the father and Nita committed suicide. And I ran away here Han. I'm such a useless kid, I'm a bad boy that makes people who love me kill themselves". Bayu said a little wailing sitting behind the bartender table near the cashier's table.


Farhan hugged Bayu to calm him down. "Mas Bayu can not blame himself mas Bayu. Everything that happens do not regret it. From now on, Bayu enough to correct the mistakes that have occurred and leave everything to Allah swt". Farhan was obviously sad. "Mas Bayu must be strong yes, for the sake of the mother of Bayu in the village and for our sake too yes. God must have a plan behind this". Farhan again.


"Astaqfirulhalazim says... You're right Han, I have to be strong to fix this. I still have a mother, Nita's mother is also you, father is also a mother. Makasi ya Han you have become a sister as well as a friend to me. Even though you're 20 years old, you're so grown up with me. Mas Bayu was lucky to meet you Han". Sayu wiped her tears and looked back trying to get excited.


"I just reminded Bayu. Mas Bayu was also great and taught me to open a business. I'm lucky to have Bayu in the family". Farhan.


After their grief was over, they went back to work. Seen efforts planted Farhan pacify Bayu from losing direction Bayu sweet fruit. Until they look like a brother brother who compact and get along.


Every now and then Bayu and Farhan jokingly make Farhan's mother see their behavior smile and feel gratitude for the happiness in her family.


It was a tiring day. The hour hand crossing the number 10 signifies the completion of the operating hours of this cafe FB family. Bayu, Farhan and I were getting ready to go home.


Arriving at home even with a soybean face they took the time to gather that was welcomed by Mr. Farhan.


"Waaahh children and the father's wife look tired. What you need to make ginger tea to return to the seger". Say warm words while closing the Qur'an read out.


"No need sir. Let mom do that. You just sit down, you must be tired from the market." Said the mother who always did not leave her duties as a father.


Smiling "Alright buk". I understand my mother was always devoted to him.


"How are your efforts progressing?". Ask your dad after they sit back and watch TV.


"Alhamdulillah good sir, even more and more visitors. Maybe if this continues we'll open a branch". Answer Bayu.


"Thank God, I am proud of you Bay, so much work and so earnest in trying. Hopefully Farhan quickly mastered it as well huh. So the kids become entrepreneurs both". Obviously, my father is proud.


"Farhan has begun to understand sir. Even from the beginning Farhan controlled my ambition to be stable thinking about effort". Sayu conveyed it warmly. "Oo yes sir, maybe the day after tomorrow I'll go home to the field sir. I want to see my mom and nita's mom. I will also make a pilgrimage to the burial of my father and Nita also see my abandoned efforts sir. Maybe a little long sir and the cafe will I leave the manager to Farhan". Bayu.
