Khalista dragged his steps into the house.His face was filled with tears, and he saw a middle-aged man sitting on the living room sofa with a newspaper in his hand.
"Papa...," he murmured.The father who always neglected him first, the father who always ignored his existence. And now it is always there when he needs it with the caress of affection.
"Tata.. ," his father then put down the newspaper he held.The father stood up and welcomed his only child from his first wife.
"Papa's home? since when? "ask Khalista while kissing his papa's hand.
"Papa came from the morning.Your husband said this morning you came home.Makanya papa take the flight as soon as possible." said his father. Khalista let out a long sigh.Andika really changed the situation with his love.However why is he still doubting all Andika's love? Khalista smiled briefly.
"Thank you for my time, Pa.
"Tata..why thank you?it has become papa's obligation to have every time you go home.Papa asked Bi Nah to cook your favorite food.Quick clean yourself, we have dinner together."pronounced his father.Khalista nodded slowly then passed.
A few minutes passed, Khalista and his papa had finished dinner with kidmad.Khalista and Bik nah tidied up the food while telling ria.They spent time happily.
After that Khalista spent his time in the garden behind the house.Hati who felt the tightness of a little rilex was in the garden.Bayangan Andika was in his eyes. The quarrel last afternoon made him unable to forget Andika, the person who always made him happy.
"Khalista.. "why papa to his beautiful daughter.Khalista who was thinking about Andika was a little surprised.He looked at his father who is now in front of him.
"What's really going on?"asked papa Khalista.Khalista let out a long sigh, trying to smile at the middle-aged figure who was now looking at him lovingly.
"Did you guys fight? "asked his papa while rubbing the top of Khalista's head slowly and sat down in the long chair that was planted.Khalista touched, even papa who always thought of himself now changed drastically.
"Here sit with Papa... "Pak Bagas patted the seat next to him. Give her daughter a word to get closer. Khalista walked slowly then sat beside his papa.Pak Bagas looked at Khalista calmly.
"Did you guys fight? "repeat Mr. Bagas. Khalista was silent, still reluctant to answer.
"Fighting in the household is natural, quarrels and differences of opinion are spices that are indeed a trap in it." said his father.Khalista was a little interested in the discussion of his father. Now he looked at his father calmly.
"Pa, does papa love mama?"asked Khalista.Pak was a little jolted at his son's question.Even he realized how much love was so great when his late wife had left him .
"You know? Mama and Papa were met because of an arranged marriage." said his father.Kini Khalista increasingly enthusiastic to listen to the story of his father.
"Papa and Mama do not know each other.Even Papa who resolutely refused the matchmaking always ignored your Mama."
"As time passed, your mother fell in love with Papa.With all her heart your mother loved Papa.until one day Papa realized how much Papa loved her, but at that time your mother was gone forever."said Mr. Bagas with eyes slightly glazed.Khalista a little tight to hear the story of his papa.He looked at his papa calmly.
"I....."Khalista did not continue his words, a sense of tightness burst into his heart.Khalista closed his eyes, holding back a circle of tears that asked to come out of his eyes. His father rubbed Khalista's shoulders gently and pulled the khalista's head leaning against his shoulder.
"You don't doubt your love." said his father.Khalista opened his eyes and looked at his father questioningly.
"Andika says your memory has returned.Papa tasa, hate you to men because of old wounds you have not completely thrown away.So you are reluctant to accept something that is actually beautiful it becomes a deep pain."khalista shed his tears, looking at the smiling middle-aged man's face looking at him.
"Khalista, Everything has passed.Try to move on, try to make yourself happy.Everything has passed, even you are strong standing up to this moment.Papa is proud of you, forgive papa who used to always ignore you.Im sorry Papa who thinks of himself."his father said while wiping the tears that came out in the corner of his eyes.Khalista let out a long sigh, unable to say anything more.
"Andika good man, Son.You Tau, he came to papa with real sincerity.Come to Papa asked you to be his wife.Come to papa and say that he loves you so much.You know, Papa, even papa believes in him more than my belief in Micho long ago.eah how Papa believes Andika is the right match for you." said Mr. Bagas again.
"You may ask for your own time, but I hope you can think clearly.Papa hope you will never regret, like papa who regretted for being late to realize the love of your mama." said Mr. Bagas.
Khalista slightly sifted.Try to digest all the words of his father.About the past that has always been a frightening shadow.Past time that positioned him as a betrayed person. About the past that has positioned her as a surrogate woman.
Khalista sighed long.his mind drifted far away, his memory adventured when Andika said falling in love when he first met.His mind floated on the beautiful events that he went through with Andika.Khalista wiped his tears.Can not be denied,Khalista loved her husband so much, how his ego was so big it hurt him.
"Pa.. but I hurt other women defending this marriage." said Khalista as Bianca slipped into her mind.
"But when you destroy your marriage, it is not only she who suffers.Even more hearts are hurt.Your hearts, that woman, and also Andika's heart." said his father.
"Then what should I do, Pa?"asked Khalista.The father let out a long breath.
"Ask your heart, You know your heart better than Papa....Ask yourself.Papa think you are much smarter to answer your own questions." said Mr. Bagas.Khalista hugged his papa tightly, looking for comfort in his papa arms.
Mr. Bagas was relieved.he gave his thumbs up to the person behind the door.Andika there smiling happily looked at the child and the father.
"Yes already, it's night break.Papa still there is a little work.Papa must finish first." said to him.Khalista nodded then stepped his feet into the room.
Khalista found his briefcase which 6 months he no longer use.Khalista took his bag open slowly the contents of his bag.Netranyanya found a cute pen pink.Khalista took it, the bag is,his lips slightly smiled then took the pen.The baby floated away at the incident 10 years ago.Khalista smiled thinly.
"I used to believe that if at some point with this pen I was met with someone who would take care of me until the end of my life.Even I gave conditions to people who approached me must have a pen like this...but in fact the shadow of my childhood is not like the reality that I live.Grandmother, I think your pen will show me to him who made me happy when you left...Until now, only Andika was able to make me happy .....
Grobyakk......
The sound in the balcony of the room made Khalista surprised.
