"Papa's meeting."
Nando sends a short message to Arvel as well as Anzel. Because he had the intention to influence his two children. Clara and Ferdi's wedding is about to take place.
Nando doesn't want Clara to move on or be happy. He did not want the former to look more in any way than he did.
"Can't, pa. Ar today until the afternoon of school. And besides, I promised you to eat together before you go home."
Arvel refuses the father's request. He was honest about if he was in full time school that day. Also about his promise to his classmates to eat together.
But behind those two reasons, of course he kept the other reasons. It was lazy to meet the father. Because all this time the relationship between them was not too good or close.
As with her sister, Anzel also attended school today from morning to afternoon. Plus he was just as lazy to meet the father, who he considered to have disappointed himself by cheating and remarrying.
"It can't, pa. Full time school and go home later want to join Ar's brother with his friends."
That was the sound of the message he sent to Nando. So the man was now silent with a very heavy feeling. I don't know why it's so hard to get your kids to meet.
Nando decides to go to Axel's school. He deliberately did not send a message to the child, because at school it is forbidden to bring a mobile phone.
After walking for a while, Nando arrived at the school of the youngest child. It just so happened that they just broke up.
The students and students went home to be picked up by their parents and their respective drivers. Although there are also some who walk, for those who are quite close to home.
"Sir."
Nando intercepts Axel who is about to head to the minimarket near his school. Because the driver who picked up was still stuck in traffic on a road.
"Eh, papa." Axel said in a surprised tone, but not quite excited and impressed like meeting someone else.
"Remain here, pa?" ask Axel curious.
"Well, I'll see you" said Nando.
"This has met."
Axel answered innocently, but somehow it was like piercing Nando's heart. It was as if the child did not appreciate the meeting.
"Follow papa, yuk!" take Nando then.
He still tries to act like he is a good father. Just so that the child wants to come and he will instill an influence later. She wants one by one her children to be a barrier to Clara's marriage.
"No want ah, said mama adek can not follow others carelessly."
Nando wanted to explode his heart to hear all that. He was very upset but remembered the purpose.
"Yes, but Dad is not someone else. Papa this is your papa and you're not an elementary school boy anymore, it's impossible to be a kidnapping victim."
"Papa mah never watch the news" said Axel again.
"Many know pa, Junior High child who became a kidnapping victim. Keep the kidneys sold." he continued.
"Yes, but it's papa. Papa says keep trying to sell your kidneys. You're papa's son."
"What's the son of papa?"
The question succeeded in making Nando speechless.
"If so, why all this time papa never nganterin adek school. From TK never. Papa also never nemenin adek learn, or just watch TV, play games together. Many adek friends who like to play futsal as his father, papa never like that."
Nando increasingly slapped his soul, because all this time he was very unattentive to his three children. He still adheres to patriarchy, which assumes that taking care of the child is the duty of a woman and not the business of men.
The name of the child is the responsibility of both parents. And responsibility is not just about feeding, clothing, and shelter and education. But also time, affection and attention. Growing children requires complex support.
"I know papa is busy. So papa can't have much time for you, and your brothers."
"If you don't have a lot of time, at least a little. But papa never existed at all, even if it was only five to ten minutes. Sometimes at the dinner table early in the morning, papa eats while calling. There was no interaction with us at all. We didn't have papa all this time."
"Well yeah, I'm going home. Want to play mobile legends at home." said the teenager later.
So Axel passed by leaving the place and headed to the car. Now Nando was fixated in such a deep silence.

Clara took a look at bridal models in an online catalog, courtesy of one of the world's best-known designers.
Maybe he will not order on the designer, because the price is certainly quite fantastic. Clara wants her wedding day to be memorable, but not too spend a lot of budget.
She can cheat on the dress model she sees and order it to a local designer. In addition to being cheaper, empowering local designers will help the economy in its own country. More plus points to be able to get.
"Cla, look at this!"
Valerie sends a model of the wedding dress, which she thinks is perfect for Clara.
"Good baby."
Clara replied to her best friend's message on WhatsApp.
"Save is for reference" Valerie said.
"Okay sip." reply Clara again.
He soon continued the search.
"Clar."
One of the higher-ups in his office, suddenly came in and approached Clara.
"Yes" said Clara later.
"Sit down." he said again.
"So I heard from the employees he said Nando came and made a fuss" said the man.
"Yes, he doesn't accept that I want to get married again" Clara replied.
The man in front of him frowned and laughed. So that Clara is also now following a laugh.
"Right, om?" ask her later.
"Udah is an ex, but it's a matter of order." he continued.
"Hhhhh."
The man took a deep breath.
"Don't let him ruin your marriage. Because Nando is sneaky and can justify all means." he said again.
"Yes, um. I also thought up there, and I really have to be careful for some time to come."
"But your marriage isn't much longer, is it?" ask the man.
"No, in the near future I'm getting married. Wait for the invitation." said Clara.
"Well, what matters is that you're okay. If you need a bodyguard, contact me. Om have a bodyguard service acquaintance who is okay to have."
"Well, I'll call you when it's necessary."
"Well then."
The company's top man then said goodbye and left Clara's room.
