Angel Guard Selena
Father Assessment

"Dad knew Daniel was a good boy, Selena..."

One sentence that his father spoke was able to make Selena's heart flowery. In fact, his father could judge that Daniel was a good man. Not only good, Daniel is also a sincere person. The man had always helped Selena without expecting anything.

"So last night Daniel took care of Dad huh Dad? Selena's asleep, so I don't know if you need water to drink."

"It's okay, you must also be tired and need rest. You're not working today?"

"Selena's on leave today Dad, because who's keeping you when Selena's working today?" Selena's face is still sad to see her father who is conscious, but still looks pale.

"Sorry to trouble you, Selena."

"No bother at all Dad. The important thing is that I'm cured, and Selena please don't drink alcohol anymore. Follow Selena this time, Dad."

"Yes, I'll try. Selena, can I ask you a question?"

"What does Dad mean?"

"How do you feel about Daniel?"

Selena did not expect it, her father suddenly asked her that question. This is the first time her father has asked Selena about her personal matters. Her father used to be so indifferent, but now suddenly Dad asked Selena that question.

"Hmm, honestly Selena likes Daniel, Dad. But..." Selena let out her breath slowly, neutralizing the taste in her chest. "Daniel can't reciprocate Selena's feelings."

Her father carefully observed her daughter's face, and her little daughter had grown into a girl who could feel a sense of affection for her opposite sex. Really, sometimes we don't realize how much time has passed until many moments have been missed. So does her father Selena who realizes, how long she is indifferent to Selena, letting her little daughter grow up on her own, without her affection and attention. Now in front of her, her daughter had become a mature girl. It is true that regret always comes too late, and wasted time can never be repeated.

"What's the reason Daniel can't return your feelings, Selena?"

"Hem, Daniel hasn't explained it yet, Dad... He just said that one day, he would explain why he couldn't get back at Selena's feelings."

Her father noticed Selena's sad face, but her daughter was still trying hard.

"Dad believes he must have had a special reason. But, according to Father, Daniel was kind and sincere. It's not wrong if you put your feelings on her. If you want to wait until the man gives you an explanation, wait for him... I just feel like Daniel's so concerned for you."

Selena's heart warmed to hear her father's assessment of Daniel. Even his father could feel Daniel's attention. If her father, who has been indifferent, can judge, then Selena is increasingly convinced that Daniel is indeed attentive to her. It was Daniel's attention that made Selena slowly inevitably fall for him.

"Selena thought... Selena will be waiting for him. Selena will wait until Daniel explains everything to Selena."

"Yes Dad..."

Selena was so calm and happy to be able to talk to her father, an opportunity she almost never got. There is happiness in the heart, but there is sadness because so many moments are missed. The two were able to talk this close just as his father lay sick. Man is a record of all things, but they will not happen if God does not want them. As with Selena, for so long she had hoped for this beautiful moment in her life, but only this time did God grant her the right time.

"Thank you Selena for everything. All this time I know, you've been suffering so much. But you are always strong. I'm sorry I hurt you so much all this time." Said his father in a bitter tone and deep regret.

"Forget the past, Dad. Its alright. Selena just wants to keep going, I can keep going like this. Don't drink any more booze, pay attention to your health. Dad's always been healthy, this is Selena's biggest prayer."

"However, I realized that all this time I've been giving you a lot of tears, son. Too much sadness has happened to you, because of Dad's attitude. Right now, I'm really sorry for you. Sorry Dad..." Tears just dripped from the corner of his father's eye.

"Don't cry Daddy... Selena forgives Dad. Whatever you've done, whether in the past or in the present, Selena forgives you. The sadness that Selena experienced for so long, has been lost with our togetherness today. Thanks Dad, this time will always remember Selena. Selena loves me."

Selena's face looked happy, but a circle of tears also just dripped from her eyes. These are not tears of sadness, not at all. Selena was crying happily being able to chat a lot with her father. The precious time he had always hoped for.

"Don't cry anymore, Selena. All this time, you've been crying a lot, and it must have been because Dad kept hurting you, even Dad used to slap you, giving you wounds."

"No Dad, now Selena is crying happily because she can chat a lot of things like this with Dad. Really, Selena's happy Dad. Very happy."

"Dad was also happy Selena. Son, if you're not working, can you often visit Dad at home? Dad didn't ask you to stay with Dad at home, but on your day off, visit your dad more often. Can you do it?"

With tears, Selena nodded her head. "Yes Dad, Selena will visit Dad more often. Do you promise not to drink alcohol again? If Selena goes there, and I find Dad drunk again, then Selena will never visit Dad again. Promise??"

"Yes, Son... I promise."

Meanwhile in Buana Corp, Selena's absence in work apparently enough to make Dexter not calm. The cold-tempered man thought what happened was really up to Selena to take a leave of absence.

Dexter was in his office, he sat facing his laptop and the files were piled up. However, his thoughts were on Selena. Although the relationship with Selena is not so familiar, but the existence of Selena in fact can calm Dexter.

If I see Selena's father in the hospital is it too much? Should I ask him which hospital his father is in? I wanted to be responsive, but Selena definitely didn't like that. I just wanted to be friends with him, he rejected me. Especially if I want to visit her father.

Dexter really can't concentrate on his work because he keeps thinking about Selena. Finally Dexter decided, if tomorrow Selena still does not come to work, he will ask where his father is cared for, so he can visit her.
