The night that Delia just came out of her house, Papa Abian saw Delia delivered by his wife's private driver, Papa Abian invited Delia to meet at a restaurant.
"Mul, lead Delia to the restaurant where mom used to eat." Papa Abian ordered Mul
"Well sir," said driver Amanda, "Neng Delia, I'd like to see you."
"Huh, Father?, who?"
"I'm sorry, Den Abian's father, wants to meet Neng Delia."
"Papa Abian?, what's the matter sir?"
"Where do I know Neng, I'm just sending a message." Delia snorted pursed her lips, hearing Mul's reply.
Before long, they arrived at the restaurant in question. Delia circulated her gaze, looking for papa Abian. Delia's eyes caught the middle-aged figure she was looking for, papa Abian was waiting for her at a table that was complete with dishes on it.
"Assalamualaikum, Pa."
"Waalaikumsalam Delia, let's sit down," Papa Abian stood up pulling out a chair for Delia to sit down. "Please see Papa's beautiful future daughter-in-law."
Delia suddenly develops a smile, Abian's family always treats her warmly "Let's Pa,"
"Let's go to the tomb first," asked Papa Abian, and Delia nodded, there is no way she refused even though she was already very full, with a thought that continues to guess, no way, is there anything papa Abian asked her to meet?. Though Delia could have refused for the reason of keeping her body to remain ideal, but she felt not good.
"Delia, how far along are you with Abian?" ask Papa Abian after he finished eating.
"Huh?, you mean Papa?" delia's eyes were patterned with questions so personal, and intimate.
"It's okay, Delia. Papa just wanted to ask. Papa knows you and Abian stay at the hotel a lot, and now Abian buys you an apartment, you'll meet often, and you'll have more alone time," papa Abian said calmly to make Delia swallow her saliva rough.
"Papa does not want to interfere in the affairs of the two of you, you are already married, and Papa knows, Abian has proposed to you, right?, it's not good that people who are not legal partners often stay together, although Papa believes you don't exceed the limit, but it can cause slander."
Hearing papa Abian Delia's statement became so nervous.
"Yes Pa."
"So, when are you getting married?"
"Huh, that's ..."
"You still doubt?" guess Papa Abian, he sipped his orange juice waiting for Delia's answer. "We're just talking to Delia, think of me as your real father, say what's odd in your heart" he continued, as a parent who has two daughters, papa Abian understood what became Delia's heart.
Delia took a breath, meaning that Papa Abian wanted a definite relationship between her and Abian, and Delia felt that she could be open to Papa Abian. The middle-aged man made him comfortable.
"Pa, to be honest Delia loves Abian very much, but to get married so soon, Delia is still hesitant."
Delia looked at the mangangguk papa Abian, the response made Delia dare to continue her words, the aura of papa Abian was gentle, yet firm.
"Delia has two younger sisters, one of whom is studying as a medical student, and the other, who is still in the SMK bench." Delia soaked her lips "Mama at home just continued my father's efforts to make adobe, which was not much, and it waited a little long to be sold, so Delia still helped the education costs of Delia's younger siblings."
"Maybe this is a clue, if the father wants Delia to continue the ideals of Delia first, and make the Delia family happy. But on the other hand, Delia is afraid of losing Abian, not necessarily Delia will be able to find a man as good as Abian if Delia leaves him."
"So much love for Abian son?" papa Abian asked gently, and Delia nodded. "What is your wish at this time? tell Papa, maybe Papa can help."
"Delia just wants to work without any burden, continue the father's ideals, and help mom. But Delia also didn't want to leave Abian, Delia was afraid of losing Abian."
Papa Abian laughs "Rational thinking, you remind Papa of Arumi and Arini, back then, when they were in college, they also work as a seles who work part-time. They are so proud to be able to buy Papa flip flops that the price is not much, the important thing is the money from their own sweat, they do not ask for pocket money, but Papa is still able to give them money, but Papa is still able to give them money, they can also buy books with their own money. After college they immediately find their own job, have not thought about the name married, they said, they want work and can buy Papa and Mama this, Papa understands how you feel Delia."
Papa Abian justifies his seat "You believe Delia's destiny?" Delia nodded "if you and Abian are meant to be together, no matter how far you are apart, you will meet again, but, if you are not meant to be together, you will be as strong as you hold each other, you're also going to split up, these are actually common words that people often say. So, Papa means, continue what is your dream, seek as much experience as possible before you get married, Abian business leave it to Papa, Papa will guarantee Abian is loyal to you, but you also have to promise, Papa will guarantee Abian is loyal to you, you must be able to keep your heart for Abian, as long as you pursue your dreams. Happy for your family, but if you stay, Papa is sure, Abian will mess up all your dreams, he's a lustful grown man, is there a workplace you want?, he said?, Papa can recommend, somewhere safe,"
"There's Pa." Delia replied in spirit, she smiled, as if she had found a figure of a father figure that could guide her, and was waiting for her again.

At one in the morning Abian arrived at his home, now his condition is completely chaotic, his mind was not careless.
"Abian." Amanda called him "You from the man" Amanda stopped when she saw the son's face was a mess, his face was bruised, with a tangled appearance.
"What happened son?" Amanda cupped Abian's cheeks, examined Abian's face and body.
Abian who was already feeling not strong, immediately embraced his mother, this is the first time, she shed tears that she should never have shown before Amanda, the woman who had given birth to him into the world.
"Ma Melia ...."
Hiks hyks
Amanda felt that if something went wrong, brought Abian to sit on the sofa. "Tell me the truth, what's wrong?" he tidied Abian's hair, rubbed with tenderness, his heart was sad, he never saw Abian as screwed up as this.
"Delia goes Ma."
"Where are you going?, is he cheating?"
Abian shakes "Abian doesn't know Ma."
Ananda hugged his son, "Delia can't possibly cheat, she's a good kid, Mama sure of that." He took off his wound, to see Abian's face "Are you guys having a big fight?"
Abian nodded back.
"Have you eaten?" Amanda thought Abian wasn't filling her stomach all day, and Abian shook her head, she wasn't hungry at all.
"You love Mama, don't you?" Abian nodded "Darling Delia right?" He nodded back "If you love, you eat yes, Mama bribe." Amanda gets up, she starts heating the side dish for Abian.
After eating, Abian went up to his room, he broke down his tired body, back he saw his cell phone, quiet, still like this afternoon, no message or call from Delia, no message or call from Delia, even the messages that two send are still tick one.
"Where are you, Delia?"
