Wife On Paper

Chapter 226 Consequences

"Where is Daddy from?" Dani is waiting for his father to come home. Until 9 pm, the sound of his car came.

"Following the wind direction brought Daddy," Adrian said as he patted the child's paddle, then passed through Dani just like that.

"Daddy hasn't had dinner yet."

"It has. Daddy's still full. Eat first, Daddy's gonna take a shower, hot." Adrian paused for a moment and twisted his body then he resumed his steps to the room.

"Why do I feel Daddy's getting any further. Even though we were in a very close distance," muttered Dani.

"Please, Young Master. Dinner is ready." Aunt Yulia had finished serving food at the table. Seeing the master already standing on the stairs, the middle-aged woman approached. Today, Yulia's aunt accidentally cooked Dani's favorite meal.

"It smells good" Dani said, sitting on a chair and smelling the soup and grilled fish.

"Fish baked bloating and mushroom soup. The dessert has lychee pudding, sir."

Dani just took a bloated fish and a little mushroom soup. The aroma of cooking is tempting and can always be delicious. Especially his favorite food. But suddenly his appetite was lost, after witnessing for the umpteenth time the father who came home every night, and always never came out again after entering his room.

She only respected Yulia's aunt who had bothered cooking food for the two of them even though it was her duty.

After dinner, Dani intends to knock on her father's room door. He wanted so much to see his father, and what he did at night, why he was so at home there.

Aunt Yulia said, Adrian was like that after the death of his stepmother. He rarely eats at home. After work, always enter the room and will not go out again until morning.

Geck.

Geck.

"Dad, it's me. Can I come in?" he said a little loud.

"Come in," Adrian's word sounded soft.

Dani opened the door to her father's room. And from there it appears, if the father is in his bed reading. Adrian took off the glasses he was wearing.

"Daddy's busy?"

"Just read some old books." Adrian turned the page. "Is there anything you want to say?"

"Only a small discussion, if Daddy is not busy," said Dani who sat at the end of the bed. Just this time Dani re-entered the father's room after a long time. Since his father married again.

"You're mocking Daddy? You are busy now, not d

Daddy," Adrian quipped as well as emphasized about Dani's current position.

"Ck, just piss me off." Dani clucked then sauntered towards the balcony. Waiting for my father there.

Adrian smiled at his son. Although he was 20 years old, but the young man still looked like a child in the eyes of the father.

Arriving at the balcony, Dani was stunned to see the birthday greeting decorative lights that were still installed and well maintained. So this is the surprise of her stepmother that aunt Yulia told her about.

There are chairs that only fit two people. Then the flowers must have belonged to her stepmother. Because it is impossible for the father to plant it. Everything's still well-groomed there.

Aunt Yulia also told me that her father always doused her every day. If the father forgets, only Auntie Yulia can touch him.

Today, all those flowers are blooming. It's very peaceful up there. Although only with the illumination of a small bulb that turns on alternately, it can make the atmosphere become syahdu. The dim effect and smell of fragrant flowers add to anyone at home there. Especially the breeze that night, without feeling Dani enjoying it all.

"It's safe, right here?" Adrian came from behind. The man smiled then headed towards the iron fence that was on the edge of the balcony. Both hands raised up, the man relaxed his muscles, while breathing the cold night air as well as calming.

Adrian smiled wryly. The real reason was that only he knew. And the man let the boy speculate according to his thinking. Dani is not yet mature enough to understand a problem in the household.

"What do you want to talk about? Daddy's here." Adrian twisted his body, now they are facing each other but on a different side.

"I don't want to go back yet, Dad. I still want to build my business there."

"What are you looking for? Everything that daddy has will be yours, everything without exception. You can do anything with what you have."

"I want to feel it starting from scratch with my own sweat, Dad."

"Your destiny is Ilyasa's heir, Boy. If you want to test your skills, you can do it here too. Building everything here."

Adrian always has the right reason to refute all the reasons and arguments of the child.

"You promised, didn't you? It's all happening, Boy. Whatever you think, you must keep what you say. Aunt Ara is no longer here, which means there is no other choice for you than to return!"

Dani. The momentary emotion in the name of the hatred he had infused in his heart, was now stabbing him himself.

When he wanted to grow on his own footing, and just as the tendrils were spreading, he had to leave it all behind. Because his stupidity gives a condition to the father.

"Give me some time, Dad?" lirih. Dani no longer argues hard for the mistakes he made himself.

"How long? Daddy can't give you much time. If it used to be possible, but now ... Daddy wants to calm down and just work behind the scenes. Daddy wasn't as tough as he used to be." Adrian said reasoned. He lost a lot of his passion after his wife's death.

"That's just Daddy's excuse. The proof of the last few months, the name Daddy several times referred to as the recipient of the award, although officially Daddy never attended."

"That's for the company, Boy. Not your father. Daddy's a failed husband." Adrian looked down. "How long have you been asking for your time?" continue then.

Dani. The words of the father indirectly insinuated it. Adrian was a failed husband but never a failed father. Dani feels like a very selfish person, but what can I do. Other people who enter into their lives are considered just like poison, only gnawing. First his father died. There was much conflict with the family over the woman.

"Three years. While I'm chasing S2, Dad."

"Huh? That means you're running away not asking for time." Adrian clucked in ridicule at Dani's request which made no sense to him. "One year is enough. Release your position there as one of the managers. And get ready to move to Indonesia, start your career here. Daddy's gonna be on commission to keep an eye on you."

"Dad?" The young man did not believe the father's unexpected decision. He thought he could still negotiate, apparently he was wrong.

"That man who is kept is his promise. Of course you still remember what terms you applied when Daddy asked you to go home first." Adrian threw away the look in his eyes. Suppose he was a commoner, and not an Ilyasa. He certainly will not put his wife in a difficult position, so choose to go and give up the happiness of Ara himself, for him and Dani.

"All right, but Daddy promised to help me. I'm nothing compared to Dadd." Dani lowered her head, refuting was of no use. It's a consequence he has to pay.

"Daddy hasn't been anything of your age either, and has had to fight to save your grandfather's company. Even Daddy was like you, a graduate abroad, but ended up choosing to take S2 here." Adrian remembers his past, which was a difficult time facing various pressures from the company as well as his household relationship that is not okay.

"Someone was great not because of how high school was or how great and rich his parents were, Boy. But this." Adrian patted Dani's chest repeatedly. "Because of yourself. How you carry yourself, and appreciate others. You can continue the S2 here, Boy. Schools that already have a name only plus, will not be related to your expertise. The pearl will shine even though it is in a mud pit, while the sand will remain black even if it is among the gold."

"Thank you, Dad." Dani smiled blandly, his father was indeed the smartest to make comparisons. "The parable that Daddy made is very impressive."

"And the obvious. In Daddy's eyes and heart, you're still the pearl Daddy has." Adrian patted briefly the burly back of the youth who was taller than him by a few inches.

Then the man left Dani who was still reluctant to leave the balcony of his father's room. It turns out that it is true, this place is very comfortable. Even now in his head a lot of ideas to start what business in Indonesia after a year in Switzerland later.
