“It's Agatha, Uncle,” Alzio said with a sweet smile.
“Daddy...,” call Agatha gently.
Alzio is stunned to witness between his cousin and his om. He thought to himself, what if he did not accept Agatha's presence again, wouldn't Agatha feel pain for the most part? He then gave Agatha approval to go back to greet her daddy with a smile and a nod of the head.
“Hallo, Daddy... Daddy, how is Daddy? Is Daddy all right?” When Agatha asked such a question, to be honest Agatha's heart was very painful. It's been a long time since he talked to his daddy. Her daddy's face looks a little old, or maybe because she thinks too much about her family, which is no longer intact, plus because the princess only wayangnya had stopped from home for about two months.
“What wind brought you here?” ask daddy sharply. Agatha who heard the words coming out of her daddy's mouth, naturally wanted to cry out. He was rejected, he thought.
“Dad...,” says Agatha is weak. The corner of his eyes began to feel wet.
“You think you can be as good as you are in and out by setting your feet at home freely and as good as you?” He then took the book that had fallen because of the shock Agatha came to see him. His dad turned his chair back to the window. Agatha was only able to bow and was unable to speak anymore. His dad didn't take it back. Daddy hates it. What should Agatha do? Agatha wanted to go home and cry in her room. Alzio patted his cousin's shoulder as a sign of encouragement.
“Daddy, I knew I was wrong to run away from home. Rebelling at will and going in and out of the house at will. And now, Daddy wants to accept me or not, wants to hate me and throw me out, I just want to apologize to Daddy. I'm really sorry.” Tears are growing more and more it feels to bathe his eyes. “But one thing Daddy should know, I really love Daddy..” Agatha then prepare to turn around. It is so hard to start something new first.
“Agatha....,” call her daddy suddenly, make Agatha step stop. Agatha turned to face her daddy and saw her slightly softened daddy face. “Close, Son. Get close to Daddy, Darling.” He stretched out both his hands. Agatha slowly walked up to her daddy and in the next second her daddy grabbed Agatha into a hug. Agatha was crying, and her daddy was also shedding tears of happiness. This was the first time Agatha felt the embrace of a daddy after feeling abandoned by her parents. Alzio also tearfully watched the blue haru scene between a child and a daddy.
“Why go from home?” ask daddy. “Daddy is disappointed in you, Son.”
“I'm sorry, Daddy...”.
“It's not your fault entirely, dear. Daddy mused a lot that during this time we actually paid less attention to you, often making Daddy's daughter hurt. Forgive Daddy also, yes, Nak.”.
“Uncle, it's good we go back home only. Uncle same cousin Zio ugly can take off homes longer,” said Alzio.
“Ahh yes, you are right too, Zio. Pondering Uncle this one is indeed the most reliable.” Her father Agatha slightly outlined her embrace of Agatha and made room for Alzio to embrace her. “Come, Zio, hug Uncle.” The moment of haru was again created between the three. The three immediately left the room and say goodbye to his secretary that today he went home first because he wanted to let go of longing with his daughter.
🕊️🕊️🕊️
“Uncle, Zio says goodbye to room, yes.” Alzio said goodbye to him after arriving home. Bi Momon cried when he saw Mr. Thomas embraced Agatha tightly.
After everything calmed down a bit and the tension subsided, Alzio immediately left om and his cousin to talk heart-to-heart in Agatha's room accompanied by a glass of avocado juice specially made by Bi Momon.
“Daddy, I have something serious to talk about,” Agatha said steadily.
“About college in Beijing?” his daddy scrunched his forehead. “You don't have to force yourself, honey. We can...”.
Agatha smiled and cut off her daddy speech. “Not that, Dad. Wasn't it! But something even more serious.”
Agatha's dad narrowed his eyes. He wondered if there were worse things that had not been resolved, he thought.
“I decided not to go to college this year, Dad.”
“Nothing. But if you want, Daddy can pay big for it, go to college here, where you want first, son.”
“Don't first, Dad. I just want to heal.”
“Cured?” The father was confused by his son's answer.
“Yes, Daddy.”
Agatha told me everything about her activities during her escape from home. Her father once again cried at how miserable the child was during his life on the streets. He hugged his son again, kissed his son's forehead many times as if he did not want to be separated from his son again.
“Daddy promises, Daddy will pay more attention to you. You don't run around anymore, yeah, sweetheart.”
“Iya, Dad. It's also the blessing of my ugly cousin. He has taught me so much about life, taught me to get closer to God. Forgive all wrongs, make peace with yourself as well as in all, and leave the old way of life to a better life according to the teachings of God.”
His father was proud because his nephew was able to bring his son into a person who can forgive and make peace with the past.
Not felt because of each other's longing and moaning, Agatha and daddy spent until late afternoon. Agatha returned to her room and found Alzio strumming a guitar.
“Eh, it's done,” said Alzio realized his cousin's presence in the room. “There's one thing I have to show you.”
“Something?”
Agatha followed the instructions of her cousin and approached her study table. He found a white invitation card on his desk. Whose wedding invitation, he thought. As soon as I saw the initials of the name W&N, Agatha understood. He opened the invitation quickly, and it turned out that the date and day had passed since a week ago. Agatha smiled, but her smile was a smile of sadness. I don't know why he no longer feels resentment and hate towards them. But Agatha was grateful that Welson finally wanted to take responsibility and not leave Nadine. What he regretted was why they had to fall so far. But all might be more beautiful if it happens a few more years from now. Agatha was sorry, sorry for not being a good friend, sorry that she wasn't there when Nadine needed her, sorry for not giving Nadine a chance to talk, regretting that he chose to be stuck in pain rather than forgiving in the first place.
“Zio, what should I do? I'm sorry, I want to apologize to Nadine.”
“Yes, you call Nadine. I'm happy, you can finally understand what I've explained before to you.”
Agatha then took her phone. Nadine's contact is found and unblocks him and hopes that the number is still used by the owner. There was a continuous tone across there that made Agatha have a million wishes in her heart.
“Hallo...,” greet Nadine in a weak voice. Agatha did not answer immediately and she just cried. The voice that he could also miss, the voice of a friend across there who had officially become Welson's wife and bear the title of Mrs Welson. It feels like they are much different than they entered SMA first. Never thought things would change like this. Never imagined by Agatha, Nadine would give birth to a child from the seed of Welson, a person she still loved at this young age.
“Nadine...,” greet Agatha.
“Tha..,” Nadine's voice sounds choked. “Lo...lo all right? I'm afraid you ran away from home. Go home, Tha..forgive me...”.
“Gue has returned. Lo and and your baby are healthy, ‘kan?”
Nadine was crying across the street.
“Nad, I'm sorry. I'm not a good friend...”.
“Gue...gue should apologize, Tha. You have the right to be angry. Anyone would be angry if they were. Excuse me…. You want to apologize to me?”
“Iya, I have forgiven you.”
“Really? Including Welson?”
“Iya. Oh yes, congratulations on your marriage.” Agatha took a momentary pause. “I'm glad Welson finally wants to take responsibility for you.”
“Iya, Tha. I also feel very grateful…. Later if my son is born, I want you to find him a name for me.”
Agatha smiled. “I'll find it for my nephew. Nad, as long as I run off and live on the streets, I feel comfortable being close to someone.”
“Oh, yes? Then how?” asked Nadine enthusiastically. Alzio also sharpened his sense of hearing, whether anyone meant Agatha.
“Hmm, forget it, Nad. The man I won't be able to reach. Nad, I want to say goodbye.”
“What do you mean, Tha?”
“Maybe in the near future, we will not meet first. I want to heal.”
“tha..?” Nadine did not understand what Agatha was saying. “Tha, I do not know what has happened in your life so far, but ... I want to see you again, I want to meet Agatha—a girl who has won.”
“Yes, just pray. Bye-bye, Nad.”
Phone calls are cut off when you say the same thing. Alzio asked his cousin to sit close to him. “Heii, who makes you comfortable?” ask Alzio kepo.
“I'll tell you. The important thing is that you bring me to always be close to God.”
“By pleasure,” replied Alzio. “But, I want to give a surprise to someone. You want to grant your handsome cousin's request?”
“Start the narcissist! I can, but wait a minute. What am I supposed to do?”
“You'll come with me at seven o'clock to meet someone. But, your eyes must be closed throughout the journey so that you can not guess where we are going. Okay?”
“You besides like to mengeselin, apparently like to make people curious. Okay, I want it!”
Alzio only chuckles because his cousin is nagging about him.
