"Papa kangen dear" The papa greeted with his wide smile. The man embraced Aleena's body and hugged her daughter. The kiss landed on the top of Aleena's head.
Aleena frowned at her strange treatment of her papa. Not unhappy, it's just that it's too suspicious.
"What do you want to eat?" Papa Aleena asked as the two of them sat facing each other.
"Have you not ordered yet?" aleena asked, seeing that the table before her was still empty. Actually Aleena felt astonished when her papa suddenly invited her to meet. After a few years this man doesn't care about her. Even when Aleena asked to meet, she had to wait a few days until her papa was ready to be found
"But baby, papa is still waiting for you" before his father met another woman and dumped Aleena's mother the man always called him dear, but after everything that happened plus the man's attitude the last few years made the call sound strange and unfamiliar in his ears.
Papa Aleena called the waiter and ordered food for them. Because Aleena was not so hungry she only ordered potatoes and fried sausage and orange juice.
"Your husband is not coming?" ask papa Aleena.
"Mas Ivan taught him full time today" Otherwise the man would have gone with him. Ivan might be willing to stay away from Aleena if he had no business.
"Why did you see Aleena?" Aleena asked without further ado.
"It's okay. Can't you go see papa's daughter?" Aleena wanted to laugh at the man's unreasonable words.
"Usually papa is busy" Aleena chimps.
"Well, even though busy, making time for your baby is still a must, dear" Why is it new now? where has he been for almost 3 years?
"Eat first yes, this brother just spoke" said papa Aleena as the waiter served them food.
"Your husband why did he choose to be a teacher? why not take over the papa company?" The papa again started a conversation between his meals.
"Because Ivan preferred to teach pa. Tio uda's papa company is owned by her husband sister Celine"
"Oh that's it, but hear from your in-laws Ivan also has a business other than teaching?" Aleena's feelings start to get worse when the papa starts to pry into her husband's life.
"Yes" Aleena was really in no mood to discuss this.
"You're happy with Ivan? is he good with you?"
"Mas Ivan is good, of course Aleena is very happy with Ivan" Aleena replied. He groped where the father was going to take this conversation.
"Thank God, I'm glad that Ivan can make you happy" the man smiled, a smile that was quite sincere but still did not calm Aleena down.
Silence enveloped the two as papa Aleena no longer invited Aleena to speak. The man focused on enjoying his meal, while Aleena was also in no mood to start the conversation. I don't know, his disappointment in the man has not been able to eliminate. His beautiful memories used to be lost as if he changed the bitter memories that the man had semai lately.
"Al, papa tau a few days ago you witnessed what happened to papa" The papa started the conversation when he had finished his meal.
"Yes Aleena look" Aleena knew what her papa meant. He looked around for regret and embarrassment on the man's face, but nothing and it left Aleena disappointed.
"Why did you do such a shameful thing? didn't papa say papa's wife was perfect? why did you come back to seek warmth from another woman?" Aleena saw her papa face flushed red, it seemed like the man was very angry at her. Aleena did not care.
"Papa needs solace from his tired work" same reason as he used to say to mama Rossa.
"Must be that way?" Aleena did not think.
"This isn't what you want to talk to Al about" the man seemed annoyed.
"Yes what is it?"
"Father just wait for the decision of your company-in-law. If papa sampe loses the tender then papa is completely exhausted. But if papa manages to get cooperation with your in-laws, papa's losses can be covered from the benefits of cooperation" Well the more clear the purpose of papa Aleena to ask him to meet.
"Al, papa would like to ask you to persuade your in-laws to accept the cooperation you have proposed" obviously already, it would be impossible for the man to meet because he missed Aleena.
"Aleena's sorry, but Aleena doesn't dare to interfere in the business that Aleena doesn't understand."
"What does not dare Al, you just say it is the same Mr. Tio to accept the cooperation that you propose" said the man, his papa looks so upset but trying to hold back considering he needs Aleena.
"Aleena did not dare pa, if indeed the cooperation that papa proposed could benefit both sides Aleena sure papa Tio will accept it even without persuasion from Aleena" Aleena refused again. Not that he didn't feel sorry for his papa's difficulties. It's just that Aleena doesn't want to be used as a tool by the father, Aleena is sure if he helps his papa this time it will become a habit.
"Papa's rival company to win the cooperation was quite heavy Aleena"
"Papa is confident if indeed papa program is good"
"Aren't you going to help papa?" The man's voice began to rise.
"Don't want to, Aleena can't go. Aleena did not want to mix personal relationships with work. Papa has to be professional" Aleena's words ignited Gunawan's emotions.
"But papa's condition is being pushed Al, if your business partner does not cancel cooperation because of papa's scandal the other day you will not expect too much cooperation with your in-laws"
"Everything papa thinks before acting, papa's wife should also be able to control herself if you do not want to suffer losses like this. Don't just crash, in a public place again. He should have learned from mom, no matter how sick you never intend to destroy papa" it feels very satisfied to be able to say this.
"You're not nasehatin papa Aleena. Don't be so rude. Papa's here to ask for help whether you're not asking for advice" Lost all the sweet attitude that the man had shown.
"Sorry Aleena can't help you"
Aleena flat.
"It's so arrogant of you Aleena. Durhaka you're the same papa. You have no gratitude at all even though papa has sacrificed a lot for you all this time"
"Aleena doesn't mean to be disobedient, Aleena just wants papa to change. Be aware pa, maybe this incident is a rebuke for papa for wasting mama. Papa didn't even care when Aleena needed help for mama's treatment, don't forget papa also sold the house that Aleena lived in after mama's departure. Papa never cared about Aleena's life after that"
