Aqila walked over to her seated papa. When the girl was right in front of her Papa, the man looked a little shocked. The man thought Aqila would not return, as her daughter was still heartbroken at Viona.
"Why is Papa here, isn't papa working?" aqila asked with a frown. The girl still did not understand, since when was her father so close to the Viona family.
Not only was Joan surprised by Aqila's presence, but Marni's mother was too. The middle-aged woman tried to give her best smile.
"Sit down first, Qila."
Papa pointed to the chair beside him. Seeing Alden look on Joan's face looked wrinkled. He did not like the presence of the man.
Papa Aqila still remembers the first time they met, when there was a cooperation between the company of Alden and Joan. It was unexpected that Alden had liked Aqila since the first time they met. The girl comes as secretary of the company that Joan leads.
The company and the wealth that the two girls' parents owned actually belonged to Mama Aqila. It was all the treasures of his grandfather Aqila.
Joan is thrilled to find out her son and Alden are in a relationship. However, all that changed when Alden won various tenders. Joan was envious, why did the man always get a big tender.
Aqila chose to sit next to Papa Joan. Alden followed her by sitting next to her lover.
"Since when were Papa and Mother Marni as familiar as they are today?" ask Aqila again.
"Why do you ask that, Qila? Didn't you know that Marni's mother, Viona's parents were your best friend. Of course Papa knows all the Viona family," replied Papa Aqila.
"I forgot when Papa was close to Viona?" Aqila asked back.
Joan looked nervous. Find the right answer. He did not want his son to be mistaken.
"It's Aqila, why is that all your questions. Don't you see how sad Mother Marni is right now. You even ask something unimportant. I don't think there's anything wrong with Papa looking so familiar with Marni's mother, because she's your best friend's mother!"
Aqila did not expect her Papa to answer like that. As if blaming himself. What's wrong with him asking that. Because all this time he had never seen his father chat with Marni's mother. Different from what he saw.
"So Papa was familiar with the Viona family? Papa is so worried like this. From morning may have come to look after him. How strange!" said Aqila with a discordant tone.
"Already, Qila. Papa doesn't want to hear your bullshit. What is strange. Viona is your best friend. It's like a child to Papa. What's wrong with my dad taking care of her? You're the one who thinks weird."
Aqila could not accept saying she was the weird one. There was a change on his face. As Aqila wanted to talk, a Doctor came out of Viona's room.
Papa Aqila immediately stood up. Made Aqila look at him with a strange look. It seems like she is very curious about Viona's state. Alden and Aqila also stood up following his Papa's footsteps.
"How's Viona doing, Doc? ask Joan.
"Sorry, Sir. Me and the team of doctors have tried, but all we leave to the One Above. At this moment Viona had regained consciousness. He called out the name Aqila. Maybe there's something he wants to say."
Hearing her name called, Aqila advanced. Stop right in front of the doctor.
"I am Aqila, Doc" said Aqila.
"You can come in, it looks like there's something he wants to say" said the doctor.
"Can I go in alone with my girlfriend, Doc?" ask Aqila.
"Please. But no more than two people.
"Thank you, Doc," said Aqila.
