Still in an atmosphere of confusion, but Daniel returned tightly to his father's embrace. Deep down in Daniel, there was a sense of comfort, of not being alone. It turns out that his father had been very dear to him.
“Papa is proud of you son. You are truly so heartened. Papa did not expect. Papa has been unfair to you all this time. It's just because you want you to be a successful person and be independent if at any time you leave you and you become a good brother to Evan, can be his role model, even if he's not your real brother. Papa hope, you can eliminate the word that can be a barrier of brotherhood between you, and throw it away.”.
“Papa say what? Daniel is not what you think. Daniel loved Evan. He is not a foster brother, but Daniel's full brother pah. Although Daniel often said harshly to him, and often hit him, behind it all there was a love that Daniel was difficult to express. Papa don't worry, Daniel will be a good brother to him. And papa can't say that one day he will go, papa must always be healthy, be able to see little Daniel born, papa's grandson, and continue the family tree of Vijaya Permana.”.
“Hiks...hiks...!! Already.., you guys do not like this continue, aunt so cry tau..!”
Daniel and Wijaya immediately turned to Aunt Ema as she pleased while wiping her tears. The woman could not hold back her tears when she saw the newness of the father and son.
“Iya aunt. Auntie don't be sad anymore.”.
The two looked at each other and smiled shortly. Dani, who had been in that place and witnessed everything, did not feel like she was melting tears. Turning his face away, he wiped his tears away, so that they would be invisible to Daniel and his father-in-law.
Daniel and his father sat down again, after their most desperate moment.
“Because of this divorce you already want, papa can say what. Papa can only pray that all goes well, and each one gets happiness later. It's a good time papa will say something. It has been decades papa harbored it, and it feels like papa is no longer able to. This old chest feels tight. Squeezed load in the past that at any time can be a time bomb for papa.”
“Maasss....” Aunt Ema who tried to block her brother's intentions, because he thinks this time is not right.
“No Ema, I have to say everything, although it hurts, and it can make Dani hate me, and even if I have to deal with the law, I am ready to accept it.”
“Papa mean..?” dani asked frowning.
“Daniel increasingly does not understand pah, with papa talk direction.”
Lord Wijaya stood up. Walked a few steps away from his seat. He breathed a little long and sounded heavy.
“Previous papa apologizes Dani, and you can do anything to papa after knowing the truth.”
Increasingly curious, Dani stood up from her seat and approached her father-in-law who was standing facing the glass window and staring at the scene outside.
“Do not make Dani more curious pah? What do you want to say..?”
Mr. Wijaya turned his body. Her eyes are glaring. Sadness is clearly there. Slowly, he began to open his voice.
“Dani, forgive papa. Forgive papa who has been guilty to you.” said Mr. Wijaya who holds Dani's shoulder.
“Sorry why pah, papa does not have the same wrong Dani kok.”
“Iya pah, papa why apologize.” Daniel interrupted.
Mr. Wijaya suddenly knelt before Dani. The girl is getting confused. He tried to help his father-in-law to get up and stand up.
“Papa.., don't do this, Dani please, papa stands yach..?”
But Mr. Wijaya insisted still kneeling.
“Papa, what is this..?” said Daniel who was increasingly curious and confused.
“Mas, Ema please..?”
“Nak, forgive papa for past mistakes, papa has made a very big mistake..”.
“Past error..? Dani doesn't understand the reward. Udayah pah, Dani please, papa stand, do not be like this.”
“No Dani, before papa says everything, papa won't stand.”
“Iya, yes pah, just say it, and papa quickly stand yach.?” said Dani who is now crouching in front of his papa.
“Dani, you remember the events that happened to your mom and dad a dozen years ago.?”
“Iya pah, Dani remembers. It was still clearly in Dani's heart. He both died in a hit-and-run case, and the hitman was not responsible. If only the bully took mom and dad Dani to the hospital, of course their lives could still be helped. But why are you talking about that event again..?”.
“'Yes pah, what exactly.?”.
“Actually that bumped into mommy equally papa you are papa..”.
“What's pahh...?” yelled Dani surprised.
“Iya Dani, forgive papa. Papa guilty..”
Dani remained silent. He still did not believe what his father-in-law had said just now. His body feels shaky.
“What did papa say...? Dani hope, Dani misheard paah..?”
“No boy, you didn't hear wrong. Everything you said is true.”
Dani's body went limp and fell on the floor. Daniel could not believe his papa's confession. He ran over to Dani, before he actually fell to the floor.
“Dani...Dani...” Daniel's dance captures Dani's body, while shaking it. Dani's gaze was empty. Believe it and not, but that's the confession he heard.
“Tell all lies reward, say paah....” press Daniel.
“Not son, papa did not lie, papa is no longer able to hide this all from Dani, papa wants the truth spoken, and this is the time. Dani, papa is sincere if you will take this case to the police, papa willingly.”.
“Mas Wijayaaaa...” cried aunt Ema who ran hugging her brother.
“Mas Daniel...” says Dani vibrates.
“Iya Dani..”
“Please help Dani stand..”
“Iya.iya...”
Daniel slowly helped Dani stand up.
“Son, don't just shut up, say something, so papa's heart can be calm..”.
“This situation greatly makes Dani syock heart reward..”
After standing up and being assisted by Daniel, Dani slowly took a few steps back, and finally turned back. He walked in limp, and ignored the call of his father-in-law.
“Dani..., don't just shut up son, say something to papa, make papa as happy as you are.”.
Dani is still not paying attention. The shadow of the deceased papa and his mother again filled his mind.
“Paaah, Daniel excuse me..”.
Without ba bi bu, Daniel chases after Dani who is already outside the house. Her tears are dripping. Wetting cheeks. He did not expect, that the person who caused the death of his father and mother was none other than his own father-in-law. The man who had caused him to be an orphan.
After being outside the house, he ran very fast. And there happened to be a taxi passing in front of her in-laws' house. Not in vain, he immediately stopped the taxi, and rode it. Daniel did not want to lose track, he immediately drove his car, and chased a taxi driven by Dani.
Taxis keep going. Passing through a very crowded highway and finally stopping at a TPU far from the city where they live. After getting out of the taxi, Dani hurriedly entered. Daniel stops his car and follows the girl. From afar, it was seen that Dani occasionally wiped her tears. And finally stopped in front of the two heads. And it belongs to papa and his mother. Dani sits in front of her parents.
“Papa, mom...., how are you guys there? Dani kangen is with you. Dani wants to be hugged, Dani wants to complain, but can't, because in separate different worlds. Mama.., papa...., Dani must how, this reality is so hurtful Dani..”.
Daniel, who heard all of Dani's words, felt his chest tight, sore.
Why does all this have to happen. Why should my family cause the suffering of your life Dani...?
Daniel murmured in his heart. He felt really guilty, and did not know how to deal with the girl.
