Father of My Son
Dad and Dad

"What's up, Pah?" dira asked as he and Ernesto were sitting in Dira's study. However, as soon as he sat on the black sofa of the room, Ernesto was even confused himself.

He was indeed planning to come to Emertown fortunately to see his newborn grandson. Ernesto's planned arrival had been told to Bia and Dira. The date of his arrival is still uncertain. Until Bia told about the state of Dira to Maria and it made Ernesto immediately to Emertown.

"That's your guitar?" ernesto asked while pointing at a guitar leaning against the wall. Dira nodded. He forgot to put the guitar in his guitar bag.

There is a stiffness between the two. Dira is not easy to talk to his papa without anyone else. So did Ernesto. To him, Dira was the hardest child he could understand.

"Do you like to play music?" ask Ernesto again.

"I'm busy at the factory. Where to play music. If the night is noisy, the children can wake up," explained Dira.

There was a break between them. Ernesto wanted to convey his point. However, he was always at a loss as to how to string words to begin with. The point he knows, the source of Dira's inner burden is himself.

"She's seen your performance at the factory. It's just so incredible. You are indeed smart. Papah also saw Divan increasingly favored by people and helped increase sales of clothing production our factory. Nice work!" praise Ernesto.

The lips of Dira curled. He was happy to make his father proud of him again. "You have two kids now. One is still a baby, of course you do not know how his personality. While Papah has three children whose age is not much different. However, the character is very different."

The waiter came to bring two cups of coffee. Ernesto again had to be confused thinking about how to express his feelings to Dira. As soon as the maid left the room, Ernesto cleared his throat.

"Daren, you and Dustin have different traits. I never had any trouble taking care of Daren. It is so what it is. If you like to say and not to say. But once you have, papah is confused. You were too independent even from childhood. You refuse to be fed, refuse to be held when learning to walk. Sometimes I think you don't need our existence." Even at the age of Kindergarten Dira learned to cook his own eggs and secretly learned to wear strap shoes to school tie.

Dira. "I know papah and mamah tired," inner Dira. Especially when his papa was appointed Chairman Kenan Grouph. Dira often sees Ernesto coming home and sleeping on the sofa. It made him feel afraid of burdening his papa. Only Dira wouldn't say. He was afraid to make his parents sad.

"Although so, I am still your papah. I also want to pamper you, babysit you. Even though you ultimately prefer to refuse and live with grandparents. At that time, Papah was angry with you because of Dustin. Papah is just shocked, it doesn't mean hate you. About music, papah does not want you to play music. Papah just wants you to have a good future. So singer, you're not going to be popular forever, are you?" Ernesto.

Dira nodded. "Because of that, I regretted for these three years leaving the Kenan family and living as a singer. Now I want to focus on business. I know if this job is much more promising and ...." Dira's sentence was cut.

"Not that. I mean, what if you've been naughty for three years? Until the age of eighteen, you have always been an obedient child. Papah here is wrong. Papah is angry just because of one desire while many of my desires are fulfilled. I'm too worried about you and it's curbing and burdening you."

"The father is always worried. Even if you are no longer popular, you can return to the business world. The proof is that you are successful now. Only I'm too worried. Even though you are young, you still have time to pursue your goals" Ernesto added.

Ernesto standing. He took a guitar leaning against the wall. The guitar he gave to Dira. "Don't be too tired to work in a factory. Singing once in a while like before. Sing whenever you want. You have the right to choose your own life. You also have the right to say your troubles. You're a good kid" Ernesto said, rubbing Dira's hair - the kind of thing he'd never do.

A father, always caught in the same trouble, between his pride as a man and his affection for his son. Not all men easily express feelings through words, while not all children easily interpret the attitude of his father as affection.

"Well, Dira always obeys what papah says because Dira wants papah to have time to just bring my report, ask about my development in school or congratulate me every time I win a championship. Papah never said, but Dira knew papah would be proud" said Dira.

There is no adult size for a child before the eyes of his father. So did Dira, in front of Ernesto's eyes, he was still a child who always wanted to seek attention because his papa was often busy.

"Maybe it's true your mother said. You look the most like me. All this time I always take care of the company, always afraid if the company experiences shocks. I was afraid of disappointing my father. Until I forget, I have a kid who needs attention. Because of my ambition, I'm asking her more not to let my parents down than to give her affection."

Dad is only human. He's not a perfect creature. He also has himself who must be happy in addition to continuing to meet the demands of others. The conflicted soul eventually becomes misperceived and some are sacrificed.

In Ernesto's case, the victim was Dira. He was too busy thinking about the fate of employees at Kenan Grouph so there was no time to just know if the psychological state of his son was problematic.

"I should have realized. Where any five-year-old refuses to join his parents unless he has a deep trauma. If only I had been more attentive and brought you to a psychologist first, our relationship wouldn't have been this close" Ernesto said.

"Bah, Dira dear papah also mamah. Although I never said. Dira runs away just for fear of not being able to make papah proud, afraid of not being able to do the best for the company. Dira's not as smart as you think."

Ernesto patted his son's shoulder. "I never said this either, but I'm proud to see you progress without a dime of my money. I know, my son is a great man. Make me proud not to be a class champion, to improve a factory or a company. Enough to be a good and responsible man" said Ernesto.

Dira smiles. "So what should Dira be?" the question was confused Ernesto had to say all these complexities.

"Singing, for your papah. Do what you like as long as it's positive and makes you happy" Ernesto suggested.

Dira knows why she likes to sing. Although his mouth often spoke, he was not someone who could easily uncover what was buried in his heart. Singing is the way she expresses her buried feelings. Therefore, the song Dira not only about love between couples, but also family and friendship.

"Old, uh!" moaning Divan while back and forth in front of his grandmother and mother.

"Why?" bia asked confused because Divan had looked worried.

"Grandfather with old papah. Long time money is a lot. Beware grandfather if Divan love money dak long," he explained while pouting.

"Grandfather wants to talk to papah because of work, not for money. Papah's been working, the time is still given money with grandfather," advice Bia.

Divan. He did not believe his mother's words. The proof he had seen his grandfather give Dira a check. Divan knows it's more than money - as a result of Dira explaining a piece of it.

"What do Divans want to have money for?" ask Mary to be curious.

"Buy plane. Papah dak buyin only," he complained. He had given his piggy bank to Dira to buy a plane, but Dira said it takes a piggy bank room to buy a plane. The Divan piggy bank only had ten and it wasn't full yet.
