28 Games (I'm Sorry)
Rara woke up from her short sleep. Again his tears came out. Rivan gives chocolate and candy to Rara, but the girl doesn't care.
Not long after that Tony came with Tia, followed by Karina. Rara wiped her tears.
“You why send them here, Van?”
“Yes should, dong. You're sad why, Ra. I've given you chocolate, candy, but you're quiet.”
“Have you given balloon, Van?”
Tia was going to catch Tony.
“What is Rara a child?”
“Yes already, let's play!”
Tony, Karina and Tia instantly took out their innards.

Snakes and ladders
Rara and Rivan shook their heads, but came into the play with a frenzy as well. They played till night like children.
“Don't tell me anything about mama!” They nodded, of course understanding because they did not want to make Mama Rara who they considered her own mother so worried and sad.
No one asked Rara what exactly happened. Not because they don't care, but they know Rara herself who will tell it if her mood is much better and there at the right time. So better now they will make Rara's mood flip first.

Two days have passed since that incident. Rara was eager to ask her mother, but she always paused. Every time Rara tried to remember it, then her head would be very sick, even she would vomit.
“Actually what's the problem, Ra?”
“Van, did I have a father all this time?”
Rivan was silent on Rara's question.
“Can be clarified the question?”
“I've seen you guys and people have fathers, but I don't. But ... I also never asked why anyone else has, I don't. Like never knowing the word father in my life.”
Rivan nodded in understanding.
“Mama never told me anything about the father figure. I never asked either. At home also no photos or anything related to it.”
“Terus you are already the same mama?”
“Keep why now suddenly you are curious?”
“There was a man who suddenly came and said he was my father?”
“Hah?”
“You remember, right, when we made the appointment at the mall for lunch, keep not so because there was a man who called me Darling? After that I had met him several times, it seems like he deliberately met me when I was alone. Someone called me often to meet. Turns out that guy was him, my dad.”
“If that person invites you to meet again, you take me Ra. Not alone. The danger! We don't know what that person means.”
Rara nodded.
“Yes already, don't think too much. Pity your mother if you are sick.”
“If there is anything you direct the story.”
“Iya.”
“Ya already, let's eat.”
Rivan and Rara head straight to their favorite cafe.

...
The man who claimed to be Rara's father saw from a distance the house. The house inhabited by Rara and her mother. Many times he sighed, yet it still did not calm himself down.
Nineteen years had he left, it would not be easy to resurface.
The proof, Rara immediately ran away leaving him without asking or hearing the explanation.
But he won't give up.
It's late, but he'll create chances. Meet with his daughter. The child he left behind.
I want to apologize and be forgiven. Could it?
Lately he's been hard to sleep. His growing old age missed his little girl figure. He knows he's selfish. But he can't turn back time. Only regrets deepened. Many hearts are hurt.
He finally had to endure all this. He turned back his memory, recalling the events of many years ago.
I-i'm sorry!
