"Our score is 1:1 papa. That is.... same".
~Pary before~
Radhi blinked several times towards the stairs, staring at the sensual back of his wife who was moving away.
He was flabbergasted and thought Kara's speech was just the last wind.
Not far from him, Aridha who was sitting not far from Kara giggled and rubbed each other.
While Hanum, the woman looks concerned about what Radhi has just experienced.
"Pa, emm....."
Radhi turned his eyes to his son-in-law.
"Oh, it's okay. Everything's gonna be fine. Now, go back to your room and rest. You must be tired after a long trip".
Radhi's smile poured warmth, his face seemed to imply fatherhood.
No wonder if none of his children hate him, all so respect and idolize the figure of the father.
"Emmm it seems like a good papa idea baby, let's go to the room".
Kara stood up and pulled his wife's wrist slowly.
The smile never faded on her red lips.
After the departure of Hanum and Kara, Aridha immediately moved to Radhi's place, sitting next to each other and struggling spoiled on her papa's arm. Radhi smiled, holding back the turmoil of his heart that protested because he had to spend the night without his wife beside him.
"Pa, relax.... I know papa hides his emotions in front of all of his kids. Maybe, Brother Hanum can't read papa's mind.
But not with me and Kara's boss.
This......
Looks like a little apocalypse to papa, doesn't it?"
Aridha blinked a few times in front of her father.
Radhi felt annoyed himself mixed with anxiety in his making.
His fingers were then stretched out to pick out the tiny ears of his spoiled, yet formidable daughter.
"You still dare to taunt your papa, hm?"
"Aw aw. papa.. ssaakkkiiiiiiitt".
Then Radhi took off his jewelry, he then stared fixedly at his daughter.
His face looked serious, no joke at all.
"How's your relationship going, Alex, honey?".
Aridha's face sparkled. Her eyes lit up with excitement and her lips gradually explained the development of her relationship with Alex.
At first, Radhi is not sure if they will give their blessing if they are in a relationship.
But now, Radhi is like being at a crossroads.
Between having to support and approve, or vehemently oppose their relationship.
For the happiness of his children, Radhi is able to tolerate even the worst.
But if Alex, Radhi is afraid that one day Alex will play games with Aridha, considering how much of Alex's reputation has been about women.
"Good, pa. Papa listen to me, for some reason, since my conversation with Sundari's mother, Atmadja's mistress two months ago, Alex has turned more fun to me, his attitude has warmed up and he is much more accepting of my existence as before.
Let's say........
His attitude was more human than that time."
"Oh really?".
"Yes. And even more poignant, he seemed to be guarding me desperately. Although his nature seems to keep his distance, but I know he is offering protection indirectly.......
I'm.... I'm comfortable being around her, pa".
The story of Aridha flows just like that considering the events some time ago.
That time.........
"To...tolooong....."
All this time, Aridha always looked brave and strong. But now unfortunately, he was extremely afraid of this slithering beast.
For Aridha, facing trained bodyguards is more pleasant than having to face a poisonous snake. Aridha was ready to die at any moment.
Luckily, the current location is not far from the workshop owned by Daniel and Alex.
On the other hand, Alex and Daniel are like they are hearing someone screaming with a cry for help.
Quickly, Alex half ran over to the source of the sound.
"Miss......"
Aridha stood up with a deathly pale face.
"Relax, miss.... Nothing's gonna happen.
Stay calm in your place and do not move more so as not to lure the snake.
Look, I'm gonna lure him to come closer to me, after that........
Run from here."
Aridha nodded faintly.
With a quick movement, Alex immediately distracted the snake. Shouting at Rida to stay away.
"Run miss.......".
Radhi noticed the earnestness that his daughter revealed.
For a moment, the turmoil that had tortured the inner Radhi, now overflowed away.
Radhi dilemma.
Between having to make the princess happy by giving her blessing, or opposing her daughter's feelings for a better future.
"I'm happy, pa. Very happy.
If I asked papa for something, would you consider it?".
Radhi knew where his daughter was talking this time.
Aridha, that girl will accept whatever death her papa's decision is.
Right now, he just wanted to finish his curiosity by asking the father.
"What do you want, hm?".
"So one day, Alex has the same feeling as me because of the intensity of our meetings that can be said often......
Will you give us your blessing?
I want to get married soon and it's with the man I love.
Like Arlan and Alma......
Like Ariana and Anton.....
Like Kara and Hanum's beautiful sister....
I want to be happy in my way, pa"
Lirih Ridha at that time. Radhi sighed softly.
As a father, Radhi is certainly required to be wise and firm in making decisions. But on the other hand, there was the feeling of his daughter that he was betting on.
"Papa..... Want the best for your daughter.
If Ridha is happy, papa will be happy of course.
If you ask for your blessing, papa will approve of it, as long as Alex doesn't play you. But nevertheless......
You not only need papa's blessing, but also need the blessing of your mother and brothers and sisters.
Pray that everyone will bless you one day".
Ridha. Both of his hands he tucked in the waist of his papa. He wept in the warm embrace of the affection of a father.
"Thank you, pa. Thank you." Thank you."
