"Al, when's your parents' wedding date?" Tanya is serious.
"10 may 1991". Alya replied while eating.
"Trus, when were you born?"
"Well, you're bad, your own best friend's birthday doesn't remember. Fyi, I was born on February 21st in '92 yah." Alya was a little bit arrogant with Aya who despite being friendly so many years but apparently did not remember her birthday.
"Durhaka friend". Inner Alya.
After thinking for a while, Aya nodded her head in a sign of understanding. "Alhamdulillah, kirain lo son of the results of the MBA. Na'udzubillah. It means that the inheritance of Adam's father is safe. Trus klo lo marriage does not need to use a judge."
"Emang I elo whose father ... upssss" Alya shut her mouth, "sorry, Yes. I don't mean to offend you." Alya's face immediately felt gloomy feeling guilty.
Aya simply shook her head, forced her smile and continued eating her in silence. Suddenly the mood was quiet.
Daddy's!
It felt like Aya had forgotten that one figure. Aya's lips were always confused every time she had to say that one word, "dad".
One word that Aya hated so much, one that she no longer wanted to see to death. For him, the word and figure of the father had long died buried with the body of the mother.
There was a feeling of tightness hitting his chest every time the shadow of the figure's face flashed across his mind. If he could ask for amnesia, he would ask to erase all the memories associated with that person. Remembering it only made him sick, sometimes his mood was destroyed just because of the trajectory of the mind about the figure that suddenly came without permission.
"Yes, how quiet? You're not papa, are you? Sorry, I just said that word." Alya started to get restless seeing Aya's inertia throughout their meal. Alya cursed her stupidity was wrong to talk. Though he knew very well how traumatya Aya in the figure of his father.
"Casual, Al. I'm not gakpapa. I was just being solemn' to eat." he replied with a grin even though his heart was already rumbling.

Meanwhile, at the largest marine products Exporter Company in Indonesia, a handsome man, the typical skin color of Indonesian people with proportional body ceaselessly widens his happy smile. How not, today he managed to convince the owner of the company to agree to use the design of cargo ship/pitcher design that he and his team submitted after following a long and tiring selection process.
Pt Parties. Bintang Bahari as the Ship Owner agreed to use the services of an Arga-owned consulting company for the creation of his container ship design drawings. Starting from the manufacture of basic design, functional design, transitional design to work instruction drawing.
The creation of this ship design image itself has a significant impact on the process of procurement of goods, production and delivery of ships. If there is a delay, then the implications can cause delays in the ship delivery process, so there will be no small financial losses, both by the design of consultants, shipyards and shipowners.
Arga Pramudya Hutama, CEO of Blue Marine and Offshore Engineering Consultant. He founded his own company since he was a contract employee at a Shipyard Company in South Korea. With his intelligence and vision of work that is extraordinary, now he has hundreds of employees and managed to bring his Company as one of the consulting companies that are quite calculated in his field.
Initially, Arga only sold the results of the interior design of Ferry boats designed as freelancers. Over time he invited some of his friends to join him. After that, he built his own consulting company. Not only the creation of ship design drawings they work on, he and his team are now also exploring the creation of offshore design images or offshore buildings for oil drilling on the high seas.
To appreciate the hard work of his teamwork, Arga plans to invite them to lunch at one of the luxury restaurants near his office after all the affairs at PT. Star of the Sun is finished.
"Together Mr. Arga, glad to be working with you." A sincere smile expands from his lips. Highlights of sharp eyes and an aura of firmness were still very strong depicted on his tired face that was beginning to age.
Arga slightly bowed his body politely, then Arga stepped towards the door, his hand was already pulling the doorknob about to exit.
Mr. Bintang who again sat in the chair of his greatness, accidentally his eyes caught the full name of Arga as CEO on the paper of the cooperation proposal that they had just signed it. There was a rumbling feeling enveloping his chest.
"PRAMUDYA HUTAMA" he said loudly.
"Wait"
Hearing her father's name being called, Arga turned her body, staring in astonishment at the source of the voice that was none other than the Star pack.
"Yes sir, what's wrong?" Ask curiously.
"Are you the son of Hutama and Andini?"
"Right sir, how do you know my parents' names?" Arga's getting curious.
Mr. Bintang stood up from his great chair walking towards the sofa and called Arga to sit with him.
Mr. Bintang took a deep breath and threw it away slowly. He had to struggle to calm the current turmoil and fury of his soul. "How are your mom and dad? Where do they live now?" Ask later.
"Alhamdulillah, father and mother healthy. We've been living in Jakarta for three years, sir." Answer Arga.
"Can you arrange a meeting for me and your parents as soon as possible?"
Arga seemed to think a little, "God willing, can sir. I try the day after tomorrow, because today and tomorrow we have a family event." Tomorrow is the anniversary of her aunt Mita's wedding, her father's sister. It will be a very busy day.
Actually Arga is still very curious, how Pak Bintang Bahari know both parents. Considering Arga has been in the womb their family has lived in the city of Seoul, South Korea.
Of course Arga remains fluent in Indonesian because both parents still use Indonesian as their main language at home. And while in college, Arga majored in Shipping Engineering at one of the best universities in the city of Surabaya. He chose to return to Surabaya to accompany his oma who lived alone at home because he did not want to stay in Seoul.
After 3 years living in Surabaya, his grandmother died following the Opa who had died when Arga was 15 years old.
After completing her undergraduate education, Arga chose to return to Korea. There he was immediately accepted to work at one of the large shipyards in South Korea. It was there that he began his career in the world of Marine and Offshore Engineering.
