They Say, I'm a Liar

Andreas's Scenery

“How does Qeiza according to you, Von?”

“Why did Papi ask like that?” ask Ivona the youngest son of Andreas Bratajaya.

“Papi just wants to listen to your response about the character of Qeiza. Her face is similar to your Mami's, right?”

Ivona smiled softly and stared in both of her father's eyes. “Qeiza at a glance is indeed similar to the late Mami. Ivon see, she is also a good woman and also gentle. Exactly Mami.”

Andreas' smile was perfect. He did not misjudge Qeiza. The proof, the youngest child also has the same thoughts as him.

“Ivon and Mas Ivan, will definitely support any decision Papi.” The more the smile of Andreas heard it.

“Papi let us know, when Papi will apply for Qeiza.”

The water in Andreas' mouth instantly gushed. The elderly man even choked and coughed at the statement of his youngest daughter.

“Papi will never marry again!”

Ivona. Andreas' youngest son, could see Andreas' gentle gaze on Qeiza, when he was first introduced to the one-child widow.

At that time, Qeiza had only been working one week as the secretary of the father. Qeiza's face, which is similar to her mother's, convinced Ivona that her father had put his heart on the 29-year-old. Moreover, at this time, when Ivona was on maternity leave, her biological father always told her about the attitude of Qeiza who captivated her.

If the father would not have married Qeiza, then why did his father always praise the one-child widow?

“Papi always felt sorry for Ivan. Papi always felt if he chose the wrong wife. How can a woman not want to have children just for fear that her body shape is no longer good?”

“Ivon was in favor of that decision. Everyone has the right to decide for themselves his life choices.”

“Can you support your Mas has no offspring!” sergeant Andreas.

“Pi, everyone is free to make their life choices. Whether you want to have children or not. Ivon supported, as Ivon thought, Ivan also had the same choice as his wife. In fact, Ivan only followed the wishes of his wife. Mending that his wife deserves. It only works for you!”

“That's what papi thought. Eve was just busy taking care of herself. Ivan was never taken care of. Papi felt sorry. Papi wants Ivan to be happy, as you feel when you are your mother's husband. Mami is so taking care of papi, serving papi well. In fact, you who work still want to take care of your husband. But, that Eve ...” Andreas shook his head.

Andreas felt Ivander had done so much for Evelyn. But, her daughter-in-law never felt grateful and took care of her eldest child. Andreas would be more receptive if Evelyn was convicted of not being able to have children, than the woman chose not to have children.

Andreas will also try to accept the decision of the child and his daughter-in-law not to have children. As long as Evelyn loves her child properly.

“Since I first met Qeiza, since I first saw the resemblance of Qeiza to your mami, Papi has wanted her to take care of Ivan. Papi wants Ivan to feel the affection and attention of a wife.”

Ivona understood what her father meant. The lips of the two-bred woman instantly flickered.

“Ivon will try to help Papi to bring Qeiza closer to Mas Ivan. Ivon will try little by little to change the appearance of Qeiza. But, that's later, when Ivon's maternity leave is over.”

***

Andreas took a long breath. The elderly man was busy with his daydreams. A reimagining of the scene six months ago, when she first discussed the match between Qeiza-Ivander and her youngest daughter, came back to light.

From the very beginning of Qeiza's work as his personal secretary, Andreas immediately introduced the young woman to his two children. Andreas wants his two children—Ivander and Ivona— to become familiar with the one-child widow. So his plan to make Qeiza his son-in-law, went well.

However, the closeness between Ivona and Qeiza, raises rumors, that she and the young woman will soon have a marriage.

Not want if the rumors were growing uncertain direction, Andreas immediately contacted Ivona.

“Ke Papi's room now. Papi wants to make a promise!”

Ivona stared at the screen of her phone with a frown. What promise did he make to his father?

Andreas' youngest daughter was vigorously dragging a step towards the father's room. However, the woman halted her steps first, right in front of the desk and greeted the woman.

“Bapi why, Qei?”

“What's the reason?”

“So Papi called me, he said he wanted to collect an appointment. You know, what promise?”

“Ih, where do I know! Just think again, you once promised me what you did, Mr.” said Qeiza.

“You also tumben busy tight-knit. Working on what?”

Qeiza let out a heavy sigh. “But, I'm a little weird, Mba.”

“Any?”

Qeiza nodded, “ times I was asked to replace you to accompany Mr. Ivan meeting with a client, tomorrow,” explained Qeiza.

Ivona gazed within the two netra Qeiza. Eventually Ivona found out, about the promise her father would collect. The lips of the youngest daughter Andreas Bratajaya suddenly expanded widely.

“I go to Papi's room first, yes!” ivona said cheerfully. Qeiza looked at the departure of her best friend in confusion.

However, Andreas instead stared at the arrival of the princess with a sour face.

“Pi ... Papi is old. There have been many small wrinkles on Papi's face. So, please don't bend Papi's face like that again. So add more wrinkles!” lady Ivona threw her body on the sofa in the room.

“You are indeed a brash child! Her papa was confused even in words!”

Ivona responded to the father's annoyance with a giggle.

“Ayo Pi, we run the matchmaking mission of Qeiza and brother Ivan!”

“Finally you remember also with your promise!”

“Ivon always remembers, Pi. At the beginning of each month, Ivon always takes Qei to the salon for treatment, what is it?”

“Halah ... You since your teen is a hobby of going to the same salon Mami!” andreas Cebik.

“Small water drinking dive, Pi. Since Mami died, Ivon had no friends to go to the salon with. Brother Eve where she wants to go with Ivon. As the new Ivon-in-law candidate, Qei must accompany Ivon!”

Andreas just mengengos hear the child's speech.

“In addition, did Papi not see any changes Qei? After Qei had been friends with Ivon for these six months, his face was more slim, right? Her appearance is also more fashionable. It's all thanks to Ivon! It was Ivon's move to make Mas Ivan fascinated by the beauty of Qei!” ivona is proud.

Andreas took a long breath. “You don't understand, Von. That charm of Qei was not on his face. Qeiza is beautiful. Evelyn is much more beautiful. Papi wants Ivan to see another side of Qei's charm. Papi wanted Ivan to feel comfortable beside Qei. Then fall in love with the attitude and nature of Qeiza!”

“Makanya, Papi asks Qei to accompany Mas Ivan to meet a client, tomorrow?"

Andreas nodded his head. “What can Papi arrange for them to meet clients out of town, or abroad? So that they can both take longer, then Papi asks Qei to take care of all the needs of Mas Ivan!”

Finally, Andreas' smile grew. The idea that Ivona came up with had a point. Every time he met clients at home and abroad, Andreas always accompanied his son. One habit Ivander could not escape his attention.

The necktie.

Although he was almost 40 years old, his eldest son could not wear a tie neatly. Since long ago, every important event, Andreas was the one who always tidied the tie of the child.

However, there are still things that plague Andreas' heart.

“Von, how do you think papi retired?”

“Pension?”
