Before long, Bintang appeared with his wife to meet Hendrawan and his daughter who were waiting in the living room.
Hendrawan immediately stood up to welcome the host who was his best friend. Sumringah's smile seemed to frame Hendrawan's face.
But not so with Hendrawan's daughter, he looks indifferent and just focus on his phone.
"Hendra .. has finally arrived! How are you?" sapa Bintang enthusiastically then hugged the friend tightly.
"Good .. good, thank God. Sori yes if my arrival disrupts your activities, Bin." said Hendrawan.
"No, relax ... We haven't seen him in person in a long time."
"Yes, I just got a henchman in Indonesia the last year, because .. the kids have finished college in Aussie."
"Oh ... I see ..." sahut Bintang while mangosteen.
Hendrawan set his sights on the Moon standing beside the Star.
"Oh yes Mbak Bulan, how are you?" asked Hendrawan while cupping his palms in front of his chest, a sign of greeting.
"Thank God be fine, Mr. Hendra. How about just the two? His wife's not coming?" sahut Moon then asked back.
Hendrawan smiled bitterly, there was a look of sadness on his face.
"Bun .. His wife Hendra died a year ago." whispered the Star to his wife.
The look on Moon's face changed, and she felt guilty.
"Oh Allah, I-I'm sorry Mr. Hendra, I don't know."
"Ah, no problem Ma'am ... Oh yes, know this is my son." said Hendrawan while looking at his daughter who still looks indifferent.
Hendrawan was surprised when he realized his daughter from earlier behaved like that, until he reprimanded her.
"And, stand dong ... The future in front of the parents is so anyway? Let's say hello to Om Bintang and Auntie Bulan!" hendrawan to the princess.
The girl looked up at her papa face, then turned her eyes to the Stars and the Moon.
"Hi Om, Auntie. I am Danisha." said the beautiful girl without a smile and still in the same position, while sitting holding her phone.
"Danisha, let's stand up and salaman." said Hendrawan as he looked at his daughter a little angrily.
"Look out of Hen ... Let's sit down, maybe Danisha is tired too." persuade the Star while smiling wisely at her best friend.
Hendrawan looked wrong, he felt embarrassed because of Danisha's indifferent attitude to the Stars and the Moon.
"Hmmm ... Danisha, you look so beautiful!" praise the Moon while staring at the brownish-haired and blue-eyed girl.
Danisha looked up at the Moon, a smile decorating her thin lips.
"Thank you." he said briefly.
"Oh yes Bin, where is your son? He's a famous artist, right? Continue ... How will the fate of your company be?" ask Hendrawan.
"Yes, thank God. He's on his way home, maybe soon. About the company ... later my son will be nerusin."
"Yes, that's how it should be? He's an only child, so he should be a successor."
The star nodded, "You yourself, he said your son has two. The only one not coming?" The stars asked.
"Darren is in his place of business, he manages a tourism service company."
"If it's Danisha, what's the activity?" chirp the Moon with a friendly attitude towards Danisha.
Danisha fell silent and momentarily shifted her focus away from the phone. He grunted slowly, then turned his head towards the Moon.
"My activities ... just bother Papa, Auntie." he said.
Hendrawan was surprised by his daughter's answer, as were the Stars and the Moon.
"Lho .. What is ngerepotin? No parent feels that his child is self-reported, try asking papa you." timpal Moon gently.
Danisha smiled cynically, then drowned back in the game on her phone without caring for the three pairs of eyes that were staring at her full of question marks.
Hendrawan wondered what was wrong with her to the princess. Because he felt that since his wife died, Danisha became cranky and unruly.
He tried to ask his eldest son Darren to watch over his sister, even escorting her wherever he went. But Darren's busy work sometimes makes him unable to keep an eye on Danisha.
Hendrawan advises Danisha to try to enroll in a modeling agency after a few months of living in Indonesia, armed with a proportional posture, a beautiful face, and, his daughter's interest in the world of modeling and also fluent in Indonesian.
He thought it would make Danisha better for being able to socialize with many people, and hoped that the child's defiant attitude toward her could begin to diminish.
But hope remains hope. Danisha often goes out with her fellow model friends until late at night. They took Danisha to a nightclub for drinks, fortunately Danisha never tasted the unclean drink, because after all she came from a fairly religious family.
"Assalamu'alaikum." Igan's voice shocked everyone in the living room, including Danisha.
"Wa'alaikum greetings ... Well, here's my hero, Hen!" - The star says proudly - "Son, here's the best friend that my father told you about, his name is Om Hendrawan and that's his son, Danisha. Let's get acquainted." said the Star.
Hendrawan looked at Igan sparklingly, as if he had placed hope on him.
"I'm Igan, Om." said Igan while greeting Hendrawan's hand.
"Yes .. om know. Who doesn't know a singer like you? Om glad to get to know you directly, son Igan. Oh yes, this is my son. Danisha." said Hendrawan, sumringah.
Igan and Danisha looked at each other for a few seconds without a smile and greeting, then turned their eyes away.
"I know the same boy. She's a model, right?" igan.
Hendrawan increasingly seemed to understand the fact that Igan already knew Danisha.
"Well, good that! You're getting better at adapting, aren't you?" said Hendrawan who provoked a response of astonishment from those who heard, because they did not understand the meaning of his speech.
"Sorry, I mean quickly adapt it how is it, Om?" ask Igan, confused.
Hendrawan smiled, "So here Bin, the purpose of my arrival here is not merely a friendship to you and your family, but there is one noble purpose of my arrival today" he said, staring at the Star.
"What purpose, Hen?" ask the stars, curious.
"I want to match our children, Danisha and Igan. Yes ... to further strengthen our good relationship ... What do you think?" hendrawan without burden.
The star, Moon, Igan and Danisha were flabbergasted and then sighed deeply. They did not expect that to be so at all.
Igan who thought that his parents also planned it was immediately staring questioningly at his father and his mother.
"But why ..." said Igan, hastily.
"Son, you calm down. Let me talk." said the star.
Igan was silent, he had to shut his mouth to hear his father's explanation.
"Look Hen .. I know your goal is noble for the soul mate of our children, but sorry ... Igan already has a fiancee. Just now he came home from his fiancee's house." said Bintang carefully so as not to offend his best friend.
Hendrawan gasped, he was silent and stunned, while Danisha looked even more upset at her papa.
"What the hell, don't tell me first if I want to mate I'm the same Igan! Try if Papa says, I would have told you if Igan was already engaged. I'm ashamed of this, Pa!" chirp Danisha, pissed.
"Yes Om, I already have a future wife." added Igan, politely.
"But ... Why isn't it on the news?" ask Hendrawan.
"I deliberately did not publish about my engagement, because it was a matter of privacy. Maybe later if married, I just announced through a press conference." said Igan.
The look of Hendrawan's face looked disappointed, he obviously had high hopes if he could be messaged with his best friend.
When the atmosphere was quiet, it seemed that two ART people came to bring drinks and small meals to be served.
"Thank you Marni, Wati." said Moon on her two ART after they finished arranging treats on the guest table.
Marni and Wati nodded and smiled, then without speaking straight back in.
"Come on Hen, Danisha, please taste." The star invites its guests to taste the dishes available.
Hendrawan smiled, but still looked disappointed in his eyes. He turned to Danisha, then took a deep breath and exhaled as if trying to release the burden.
"Hmmm .. sorry everyone, I want to talk to you outside." suddenly Danisha asked permission then looked at Igan and gestured through her eyes to come out.
"Oh, yes Danisha. Go ahead." said the Star with a smile.
Danisha immediately got up from her seat and walked out.
On the terrace, Danisha was standing while folding both her hands forward. His face looked serious.
"Sit in the park." suggested Igan when he was near Danisha.
Igan stepped first towards the garden of his house, Danisha followed behind.
"What's wrong?" Igan asked when they were sitting in the garden chair.
"Do you know about this?" ask Danisha with an interrogating tone.
"Well did you see my expression? Does that seem like I already know your papa's plan before?" Igan replied by asking back.
Danisha did not answer, because she also believed that all of this was purely her own plan.
"Sorry, my Papa is outrageous!" tukas Danisha's.
Igan sighed, "Lagian .. Why did papa you come to mind for our soul mate?" ask Igan, relax.
Danisha shrugs, "I don't know. I don't even know Papa's plan." he said.
"Sori Dan, I caught your relationship with your papa it's kayak ...."
"Not good enough?"
Mangosteen butterflies, "Yes ... I guess so. Is it right?"
Danisha nodded, "Yes." she replied briefly.
Igan's forehead wrinkled, "Why?"
"Because of him, my mom ...."
Danisha stopped talking, her face turned sad.
Stunned to see it, he believes there is a story that is the reason Danisha and her papa do not get along.
"My mom passed away!" suddenly Danisha continued her sentence sentimental. Cry broke.
Igan just fell silent, he was confused what to do.
"Papa was too busy with his business, until he did not know that Mami was very sick. He didn't come back to the Aussie for a month at all and just took care of his business here." Danisha said in tears.
"It's not so, honey. I have no such intention." Hendrawan suddenly appeared and stood facing Danisha and Igan, as he was curious as to what they were going to talk about outside.
The star and the Moon followed Hendrawan and stood behind Hendrawan. The three of them stepped towards the garden and sat down with Danisha and Igan.
"Why are you talking like that, Dan?" ask Hendrawan.
Danisha who was surprised to see her papa was approaching was looking at her cynically.
"Because it's a fact, Pa!" hatchlings.
"And you better not be so rude to your father." rebuked Igan, persuading.
"A year back I went back and forth to the Aussie to take care of Mami, Dan." said Hendrawan.
"Yes, indeed. But that's after Mami got really sick, right?"
Danisha made no room for her father to defend himself.
"But Mami who kept the pain secret to papa, until papa was in shock when he knew Mami was sick that bad. Although papa is far from you, but papa does not disappear, right? Papa is responsible, we communicate through video call, but Mami never told about the pain. That's what you regret until now, Dan!"
"If you're angry that you didn't go back to the Aussie before Mami was seriously ill, it's because papa was busy managing his near-bankrupt business because he was tricked! Do you know about that? Don't you??"
Hendrawan was silent for a moment holding back his anger.
"All that papa pendam himself, papa just told you that papa still takes care of business here. That's aja! Papa does not want to make Mami and the children papa mind, but in fact it just so boomerang!"
The star patted Hendrawan on the shoulder, hoping that the friend was calmer and holding back emotions.
"Hen, you calm yourself first. Danisha just misunderstood, you guys can say good." refer to the stars.
Hendrawan could not hold back his tears. The tears that represented her feelings were extremely heartbroken, sad, disappointed and regretful. All struggle in his mind and mind, leaving a very tightness.
Igan pulled Danisha's hand away from the old men who were still sitting in the garden.
"Where are you going, son?" ask the Moon to Igan.
"You need to talk to this kid, Bun!" sahut Igan clasped Danisha's wrist and, by force, led her away.
Danisha who was stunned to hear the explanation of her papa according to where Igan took her.
"Sit down!" Igan told Danisha to sit in the living room chair.
Danisha said that her face looked no less hit with her papa explanation.
"You shouldn't have said that to your papa, Dan! Now you know what the reason is? So, what do you want now? Still want to hate people who have tried so hard to be the head of a good and responsible family, huh??" nagging with Danisha.
"You're arrogant, Dan! Honestly, when we met at the cafe and I accidentally hit you while carrying a drink, I really hope never to see you again! Wh why?? Inget-inget only, how the time of your clothes did not accidentally spill my drink at that time!" imbu Igan, then stepped about to leave Danisha.
"Stop! Don't go, Dan!" exclaim Danisha prevent Igan from passing.
Igan stopped walking, but he did not turn around.
"I wasn't wrong, Papa wasn't what I thought. Temenin I'm sorry to Papa." pinta Danisha.
Igan turned around, facing Danisha.
"You're his son, why ask me to apologize?"
"I'm ashamed."
Igan clucked in annoyance, "There's a condition!" said it.
"Whatever! Importantly, now that you have met Papa." stressed Danisha.
"I apologize to me first." said Igan.
Danisha's blue eyes were rounded.
"What?? Apologize for what??" exciting Danisha.
Igan grunted angrily, "You haven't seen anything at the cafe that time. You ngomelin me because not accidentally hit you fit again both way, keep my drink spilled on your shirt." he explained.
Danisha frowned, trying to replay the memory of her brain, until shortly afterwards she exclaimed.
"Ah, yes I want!! I deserve to be mad, it's your fault you swore a drink on my shirt!"
Igan patting the forehead while shaking.
"I think you should be briefing me about reviewing the sentence. I just said, NOT INTENTIONALLY. If you say I swear, it was intentional!"
Danisha was silent for a moment, "I'm sorry." said Danisha.
"No horror!" tukas Igan's.
"I'm sorry!" Danisha repeated her words out loud.
"Who are you teaching to apologize but insist so?" Igan starts to master the situation, then makes Danisha go awry.
"Ck, how hard is it to talk to you??"
"Yes there, apologize to yourself, papa you!"
"Hey .. yeah, yeah! I'm sorry for what happened at the cafe. Satisfied??" Danisha relented but said rounding her blue eyes at Igan, but it made Igan laugh.
Danisha clucked in annoyance, then pulled Igan's hand out to meet her father in the garden.
"Pa, Danisha, I'm sorry I was mistaken for papa. I'm so sorry ..." said Danisha in front of her father who is still accompanied by the Star and Moon.
Hendrawan looked up at his daughter happily, tears back in his eyes. Yes, the same tears but different flavors. This time, happiness.
Hendrawan did not say, he just stretched his hands and then moved to hug the princess tightly with affection as a father to his son.
"Alhamdulillah, the problem is over, huh, Dad?" whispers of the Moon to the Star, her husband.
"Yes, Bun. I was moved to see it." said the Star.
Hendrawan and Danisha also intend to leave home, they all greet each other farewell. But when Danisha wanted to get closer to the Moon, she tripped on the foot of a garden chair and almost fell down.
But Igan swiftly caught Danisha's body so as not to hit the other seat, because the position of Igan right next to the Moon, the mother.
Without anyone noticing, a pair of eyes were watching the incident. Those beautiful eyes implied being disappointed when he saw an event that he wished had never happened.
Can't bear to watch it, he immediately turned back and ran away. The sound of his foot beating grabbed the attention of everyone in the park, then turned to look at him.
Igan's eyes widened when he realized who was running away from it. Without saying much, he immediately chased after her.
