Gintani was shocked to hear Argha's words. Truly, what he had just heard, was like lightning during the day. Gintani could not believe that Argha could speak like that just to make his heart melt. Crazy, he must have gone insane, inner Gintani as he passed away leaving Argha.
Argha's breathing sounded very heavy when he saw Gintani as if he did not touch his words. For a moment, he flinched. Argha tried to master the irregular rhythm of his heart because it suppressed emotions. Argha realized, perhaps after all he had done to Gintani, it would not be easy for Argha to regain the woman's trust again.

The one hour time given by the committee, passed so quickly. And now the fathers and sons are standing again in their own places. One of the committee's envoys took to the stage to read the results of the judging.
"Assalamu'alaikum warohmatulohi. All right, I'll read the jury's decision on cooking with my dad. The decision of this jury is absolute, yes. I would like to thank the fathers who took the time to accompany their sons and daughters. Hopefully, with this activity, it can further strengthen the relationship between father and son. All right my boys, to shorten the time, we will read the results of the championship with the theme Cooking with My Dad. All right ... for the third champion, fall to the lottery number... 02!"
The sound of clapping increasingly boisterous when one by one the championship of the race was mentioned. Until the first championship, the lottery number owned by the Princess was not also mentioned. A look of disappointment on the cute face of the little girl.
"It's okay, darling, the important thing is that the Princess has tried her best" said Gintani to encourage her daughter.
"And, here's the favorite champ of today's father-cooked activities. The champion receives special judgements from the judges. The assessment is not only focused on the taste of the food they cook, but also more on the compactness, solid taste and expression of happiness and closeness between father and son. And, that favorite champion falls to the lottery number ... three ...teen!" shouted the jury.
The princess who was hugging her mother because she was disappointed not to get a champion, immediately soared with excitement.
"That's Princess's lottery number, Ma!" shouted the Princess, excited.
Gintani smiles. "Dear, that's your number" Gintani said.
"For the lottery number 13 on behalf of Adina Putri Adisastra and his beloved father, please go up on stage to receive awards and alakadarnya prizes from the school," said the representatives of the judges.
Argha held the Princess' hand. The father and son pair went on stage with faces full of joy.

"Om, can we celebrate this victory?" the Princess asked Argha as soon as they went down the steps.
"Of course, honey. Tell me, what do you want to celebrate this victory of yours, son?" Argha asked back.
"Princess wants to eat at MD restaurant, which is famous in this city," said the Princess cheerfully.
"MD?" repeat Argha while scrunched his forehead.
"Yes, Om. It's the most luxurious restaurant here. Eca said the food was delicious. In the middle of the restaurant there is a lake. Well, in the middle of the lake there is a boat for our eating place. Princess is going there, Om. Must've been exciting. All this time, my mom was busy. So never have time to take the Princess for a walk," said Putri at length.
Argha looked down at the Princess. My poor son. All this time your mother must have worked very hard to support you. Until, he forgets to take his time and please you, inner Argha.
Argha crouched down to align his body with the Princess.
"Alright, today we will go to the restaurant, too" said Argha.
"really?" ask Princess.
The princess looked pleased to see Argha's response. "Om, can the Princess take Alex and Mama as well?" ask the Princess again.
When the little girl mentioned her mother, Argha's smile immediately expanded. However, when Alex's name was spoken from her tiny lips, Argha's smile disappeared instantly.
"Are you not busy?" ask Argha.
"Today, Alex said, Alex will spend time with the Princess," replied the Princess excitedly.
Argha could only respond to his son's words. "So much Princess then. As long as the Princess is happy, Om will follow all the wishes of the Princess," Argha said.
"Thank you, Om," said the Princess.
"Put, can you call Om Papa?" pinta Argha, expectantly.
The princess was stunned to hear it. Honestly speaking, he himself was still very surprised by Argha's confession. And the Princess had not had time to ask directly about this truth to the mother. The princess hesitated to answer.
Argha knows the Princess's doubts. He then sighed. "Papa understands, you must need some time to accept all this reality. Don't worry, Papa won't force you. Call Papa as comfortable as you are" said Argha.
"I'm sorry Princess, Om. But the Princess will try to get used to it. Thank you for your understanding," replied the Princess.
Argha ruffled the Princess' hair lovingly. "It's okay, honey. Thank you for giving Papa the opportunity to improve" said Argha.
Princesses nodded. "Come, Om! We'll meet Alex's mom and dad, "take the princess with her dad's hand.
Argha followed the Princess without much refutation.

"Mama, Alex! Today Om Ar... uh, I mean Princess, Papa Argha will treat us all in that famous MD restaurant to celebrate our victory. Mama's the same Alex, would want to come, right?" ask the Princess by putting on her puppy eyes face.
Gintani is shocked to hear the Princess call Argha. He was even more furious at the arbitrary attitude of Argha. To be honest, Gintani was very offended by Argha's move to approach the Princess without her permission.
"Sorry dear, Mama can not come, because there is still a lot of work that Mama has to finish," replied Gintani.
The princess looked disappointed to hear Gintani's reply. Instantly her face flushed red as it held back the crying.
Seeing this, Alex replicates Gintani's words. "Of course, Mama and Om Alex will come with you. But, Princess must understand yes, if Mama can not accompany you linger in celebrating your victory. The princess herself knew Mama still had the responsibility to finish people's orders on time. Does the Princess not feel sorry there Mama, if Mama got the nagging of her customers because their stitches were not finished on time?" ask Alex to the Princess.
Understanding Alex's explanation, the Princess finally nodded. "It's okay, Om. Not until it is finished is also okay, the important thing is that Mama can join in celebrating the victory of the Princess and Om Argha," replied the Princess.
Argha just smiled wryly at Alex's words.
Hmm, how cunning you are, Al.
