Widow Kepentok Duda

Want a father figure

Farzan returns to Sandra's house after dropping off Chila. Of course the man was so happy about getting permission from the little girl. Although Chila was shocked at first and seemed a little confused, because she did not know what marriage was. Farzan also explained that if married to Sandra then indirectly will be a father for Chila, it is what makes Chila finally agreed with the desire of Farzan to marry Sandra.

Sandra was at home feeling anxious, afraid that Farzan might have mispronounced her and made Chila depressed. He waited for the man in the living room, pacing back and forth like an iron waiting for Farzan's arrival.

Until a few moments later. The sound of Farzan's car was heard entering Sandra's yard. The woman opened the door and saw Farzan's car, which had just stopped. The woman waited anxiously, impatiently wanting to hear Farzan's story.

Farzan turned off the car engine, seeing Sandra who was already at the door looking at the car. She guessed that Sandra must be worried about her arrival. The man smiled, not expecting Sandra was actually also very enthusiastic about the invitation to marry.

“How?” sandra asked when Farzan was in front of her.

“We go in first,” invite Farzan who did not directly answer Sandra's question.

Of course, what Farzan did made Sandra more curious, although sure if Chila agreed but anxious if it would make a burden on her daughter's mind.

“How? Is she in shock?” ask Sandra. As Chila grew up, Sandra never discussed marriage or even a couple.

“He initially just didn't understand, but when I explained it immediately understood. You know what he told me?” farzan asked after he and Sandra sat down side by side and looked at each other now.

“What does it say?” ask Sandra a little bit of a concern.

“She said like this. ‘If Om Farzan is married to Mama, does that mean Om Farzan will be Papa Chila?’.”

Hearing Farzan's words made Sandra's heart beat rapidly.

“La-lu?” ask Sandra stammered. Really want to get the blessing of Chila like she was asking for the blessing of her own parents.

“I told you right, and she was so happy that she hugged me right away. I told him to call me Papa, and he did just that. He agreed and said if very happy,” replied Farzan telling what Chila said and did earlier.

“One more time, he said long ago he wanted a Papa. Although he has Mr. Gilang, but Chila said that Mr. Gilang is not always there if he needs it.”

Sandra looked so happy and almost cried. If he could see the expression on his daughter's face that would get a father, perhaps he wouldn't be able to stem the tears that would overflow.

“I never knew if being a parent single for her was a good thing. I think if enough mothers take care of him, but it turns out he is very longing for the father figure as well,”, Sandra said trying to withstand a strange turbulent feeling because of happiness.

“Maybe he never said it out of fear of being a burden to you. Chila said she wanted to be like her friends who were always accompanied by their father and mother. I hope that with my presence, I can bring happiness to her. At least it can slightly treat his longing for the figure of his late father,” said Farzan with a fixed gaze to Sandra.

Hearing Farzan mention her late husband, made Sandra's heart seem turbulent so that in the end it can not stem the sense of haru and also happy. The roundness of the clear crystal finally decays from his eyelids.

“Thank you for coming into our lives.”

I said go home a little night. When Chila's house was in the room and there was only Liana in the family room.

“Chila is asleep?” tanya Gilang while putting the suit that had been attached to the back of the sofa.

The man then sat down next to the wife who had just seen the television show.

“She was in the room, drawing as usual,” Liana replied with a gaze fixed on Chila's room door.

After answering Gilang's question, Liana recalled Chila's remark this afternoon.

“Darling, did Sandra talk to you about her getting married?” liana asked out of curiosity. Usually the husband who knows in advance all the affairs about Sandra, so think if surely her husband already knows.

Gilang was very surprised to hear the wife's question, to look at Liana with a look of astonishment.

“Who said?” ask Gilang back. “Sandra didn't say anything to me.”

Liana became more curious, then answered Gilang's question.

“Tadi Chila suddenly called Farzan as Papa, when I asked Chila to say that Farzan and Sandra were getting married.”

Gilang was quite surprised to hear Liana's words, if it was true, why did Sandra not talk about such an important thing to him.
