The Unmissed Family

Advice from Adults

"What's Papa doing here?" The Emperor asked Rendra in a cold tone when he saw Rendra in Anika's room.

"Kai, thank you for telling Papa about the video." Rendra replied as he approached the Emperor about to hug him.

Knowing Rendra was about to embrace him, the Emperor took a step back and saw that Rendra stopped his steps.

"I told the video not to help Papa, but to teach Papa a lesson of painful regret!" Answer the cynical Emperor.

"Are you that hateful with Papa? Either way this Papa is still your Papa, son."

The Emperor chuckled for a moment then he halted his laughter before saying in a cold tone, "Truely, Papa remains my Papa. But it's just a status, while our relationship is not the same as before. Our relationship has separated the wall of hatred that Papa created himself!"

Rendra shook his head repeatedly before saying, "Don't be like that son."

"Don't be like this? Then what am I supposed to do? I just followed the game that Papa started." Answer the cynical Emperor.

"Papa admitted to wrong Kai, please forgive your father, what should Papa do to get your forgiveness?"

"Papa only needs to do one thing."

"What is that, son? Papa will do it, whatever it is." Ask Rendra enthusiastically.

"Papa just needs to get out of our lives and never once to come back." The Emperor replied coldly.

Rendra obviously rejected the Emperor's wishes, he wanted to correct his mistakes and return to his family as he used to.

"Impossible! Papa can't leave you!" Rendra said in a pretty loud voice.

The Emperor smiled sinisterly before replying, "Why is it impossible? Didn't Papa ever do that?"

Rendra just silently did not answer because what the Emperor said was true, hearing directly from his son's mouth was very hurtful to Rendra.

"Now get out of here and never come back!" The Emperor said in a soft voice but was still heard by Rendra.

***

After a long argument with Rendra, the Emperor chose to calm himself down in the hospital garden. He recalled the previous events, he was thinking whether he had crossed the line and outrageous talking so rudely to Rendra his own Papa.

The Emperor does want his family back as intact as before, but he cannot forget how Rendra easily betrayed him, who more severely betrayed and hurt Anika for years, it is not a short time and it is not easy to forget.

What if Anika would forgive Rendra and would return to him, would the Emperor be able to do the same and forget about Rendra's mistakes?

The Emperor was certainly surprised and immediately turned his head towards the person before saying, "Doctor Revan?!"

"Sorry to surprise you. Here drink!" Revan said with a smile and handed the Emperor a bottle of mineral water.

The Emperor received the bottle before saying, "Thank you doc."

"What are you thinking?" Ask Revan.

The Emperor shook his head softly before replying, "It's nothing doc." Answer in a slow tone.

"You can tell me if there's a problem, as much as I can help." Revan answered while embracing the Emperor.

The Emperor hesitated to tell a story or not, but he finally decided to tell Revan everything. The Emperor began to tell stories from the return of Rendra to the Emperor and Anika until the Emperor told Rendra to leave himself and Anika.

"What was my wrong doc?" The Emperor asked after he finished telling the story.

Revan let out a long sigh before saying, "Maybe I have no right to interfere in your family affairs, but as an adult I will give you a little advice."

"What your father did was too late, but he did it because at that time the situation was out of control and provoked the anger of your father." Revan.

"But doc, at least Papa can figure out the truth, right?" Said the Emperor, he did not allow Revan's words.

"I know, but isn't your father trying to figure out the truth at all?" Revan asked, the Emperor silently thought about Revan's words until he finally remembered Elena's story, that Rendra had found out who was with Anika in the photo.

"Everything, right?" Revan said he seemed to see what the Emperor was thinking by seeing the Emperor who was just silent not answering.

"You need to know, I also disagree with your Papa's actions. But think again about the decision you will take, because this does not affect you alone but Anika. You have a right to be angry with your father but one thing is for sure, give him a chance to fix everything."

"But Papa has gone too far, Doc, how can I just forgive him and take him back?"

"You can forgive your father. But to take it back or not, it's your decision as well as Anika's, I don't have the right to decide."

Revan let out a long sigh before continuing his words, "This is just my advice Kai, you can accept it or not. I just don't want you to regret the action you're about to take, so think carefully."

"Because by hating, can't bring back something you've lost and reduce your burden. The burden in your heart will grow and make you grow into a bad person, I don't want that to happen to you. So think carefully of what I say." Continue Revan while standing from his seat.

"If you just go first, yes, until later." Revan said as he patted the Emperor on the shoulder and left the Emperor.

The Emperor was silent, he was struggling with his heart and mind. His heart and mind wanted two different things.
