I Love the Light
Denis's Sadness

"Father!" Dania gasped in surprise.

"Yes, it's papa. Papa who has reported you," said Denis straightforwardly while trying to withstand the tightness in his chest. "Sir, please take her!$ he went back to the police.

The three policemen approached Dania and grabbed the woman's hand. But Dania tried to escape and ran towards her papa.

"Why can you report me? I'm still your son, right?" Dania really did not think that the man who had always been a shield for her actually turned into a very strong person.

"Of course you're still my son. Because you're my son, that's why I'm doing this. This is all I'm doing for your own good" Denis replied, turning his gaze the other way. He really did not want to see his daughter's face. Not because they hate, but because they don't.

"No! Papa doesn't love me anymore. If Papa loves me, you can't report me to the police." Dania choked as she shook Denis' body.

"Papa loves you, Dania. Papa does this so that you do not get further locked in your selfish attitude. This time your actions are really out of bounds and must be anticipated immediately" Denis said.

"Pa, but why should papa report me? if it was Om Gavin who reported, I can still accept it, but why should papa?" peeking Dania while shaking again Denis body.

"This is because your actions are my fault. Papa no longer wants to defend the wrong things you did, like before. Papa wants you to be able to truly change and repent. Papa can only hope that in prison you can really focus on self-introspection, Dania, "Denis's voice sounds quivering because the middle-aged man is really trying to hold back the tightness in his chest. On the one hand he did feel like a strong father but on the one hand he felt that this was the only way to teach his daughter a lesson.

"Bad papa! papa doesn't love me anymore!" Dania started screaming.

"DANIA!" denis snapped, leaving Dania silent for a moment.

"Originally you know, it was this hand that first carried you. When you open your eyes for the first time, I'm the first one you see. I'm the one who can't wait to see your growth. How can you say that I don't love you? Do you think papa isn't hurt seeing you like this? Papa's very hurt, son. But, this time papa really must have the heart because papa knows, you can be like this because the way papa to implement papa's affection is wrong. For that, now papa wants to make up for the mistakes of the old papa. Papa will give you space for self-instrospection and papa believes the penjaralah right place for it." Denis said at length. Don't forget Gavin and Reynaldi are loyal listeners, because they know that this is a problem between papa and son.

"But, Pa __"

"Son, please don't make me feel guilty. You really have to take responsibility for your actions, because what you did this time is already in the criminal category, Dania," Denis said before Dania protested again

The three policemen grabbed Dania's hand and forced her to come to the police station.

"Pa, help me, Pa! Om Gavin, Om Rey, please Dania!" dania cried out, trying to escape, but the three men remained completely standing in place.

"Denis, are you seriously doing this?" Reynaldi opened his voice as Dania and the three policemen and two Gavin bodyguards were no longer seen.

"I'm pretty sure, Rey. I now realize that the way I loved her all this time was completely wrong" Denis said, bowing his head.

Gavin and Reynaldi looked at each other and exhaled a sigh of relief. Then, Reynaldi smiled faintly and patted Denis on the shoulder, to appease his best friend.

Denis raised his head and turned towards Reynaldi who was also now looking at him.

"I know, you must have been trying to hold back my frustration, right? every time Dania wanted Reyna's toy, I instead advised Dania, but always asked Reyna to give in so she would stop crying. I also didn't learn from you asking Reyna to be patient. I've always thought it was common. It turns out that it is your way to educate Reyna to grow up to be an unselfish and humble person. I'm really ashamed of you, buddy. Now, I really want to apologize to both of you. You two must be feeling bad about being friends with me, right?" denis said with a soft face.

"Hey, hey you don't think like that! you are still our friend. Make the past a lesson. I also apologize, as I was inconsistent with my decision to marry Gilang and Dania. Indirectly, I also have a hand in this matter," Gavin opened his voice.

"No,Sob! you are innocent because love cannot be forced. Had they both married, there was no guarantee that they would be happy" Denis replied, rejecting Gavin's statement.

"You know, why am I spoiling her so much? it's because I remember the cause of her being present in this world, because of the mistake I made on Bella first. I can't imagine if Bella wouldn't have accepted me first, she probably wouldn't have been in the world either, or if Bella had kept her, maybe I wasn't the man she first called papa. Because thinking about it made me pamper him too much" Denis said trying to hold back his tears.

Gavin and Reynaldi were stunned, and immediately felt pity. The two of them could not say anything more, all they could do was embrace his best friend, as a sign that they would always be friends with Denis.
