Santi's father's appearance looked very casual, with collared jerseys, and long jeans, matched with sports shoes.
For Anang who had met Santi's father some time recently, the appearance of Santi's father this time was very different from usual.
Although the black part of Santi's father is almost invisible again, but this time Santi's father looks fresher, and looks younger.
The middle-aged man put on a big smile to Anang, who was still dumbstruck looking at him with a feeling of wonder.
Why did Santi's father come here?
Anang hoped, his arrival was not to look for a commotion.
"Can I come in?" ask Santi's father.
"Eh, sorry, sir! Please comein...!" anang replied, and moved away until he was leaning against the wall, so that Santi's father could pass through.
"Where to?" ask Santi's father.
But, Anang had not been able to answer Santi's father's question, Santi had been seen standing in front of the old man as if blocking his steps, so as not to get too far into the room.
"Santi...!" anang said slowly.
"Is there anything Papa came here for? If it's just to fight with me, Papa's better to go" said Santi, with a flat face.
"Papa wants to talk to you both. Papa maybe you think stupid, but Papa is not as stupid as you think," said Santi's father slowly.
"Please sit down, sir!" said Anang who hastily pulled the only seat in the room, so that Santi's father used to sit.
"How long have you two been living here?" said Santi's father seemed to mince words, while looking around the room of the boarding house.
"It hasn't been a month, sir!" sahut Anang while sitting on the side of the bed.
Anang then invited Santi who was still standing, and looked as if he was not happy with his father's presence, to sit near him.
"Santi...! Sally...! Actually Papa came here, just to confirm Papa's guess." said Santi's father.
Anang and Santi are silent waiting for Santi's father's next words.
"On your return that day, Papa thought about everything Anang and Peter said, and considered it," said Santi's father who was then seen letting out a long sigh.
"You can think Papa is stupid, but Santi's time can't understand, if it's only natural that Papa believes in people Papa knew first?" said Santi's father.
Santi's father then looked at Anang and Santi alternately, while changing his sitting position, somewhat closer to the two of them.
"But still, Papa was finally able to judge, which one Papa could trust," said Santi's father.
Santi who had seemed to suspect the arrival of his father, now looks calm and relaxed.
Santi's father seemed to have the courage to hold his son's hand now, and Santi did not refuse.
"Santi's decision, also became Papa's consideration... It's like your son won't make a stupid choice, by marrying just anyone,
It's just that time, Papa did assume that Peter only intended to protect Santi. That's why Papa believes all his talk" Santi's father said again.
"I'm sorry Papa...! Please forgive me...!" said Santi's father while looking at Anang and Santi alternately.
"Not to think about it, sir! I understand the situation of the Father at that time," said Anang meanly.
"Papa still wants to talk a lot with both of you" said Santi's father.
"Papa was here, but when Papa knocked on the door, there was no answer from inside" continued Santi's father again.
Hearing the words of Santi's father, Anang's heart felt like it would be dislodged right then and there.
If only Anang was currently eating or drinking, Anang would definitely choke.
Anang suddenly felt his throat dry, then swallowed his saliva slowly.
Anang and Santi looked at each other, Santi looked like he was going to laugh, because maybe now Anang's face must have gone pale from nervousness.
"So, Papa came home first, or waited where?" ask Santi.
"The father was waiting below, while chatting with the hostess' mother," replied Santi's father.
"Oh yeah, you're not going anywhere tonight?" ask Santi's father.
"No, Sir! Tonight I have no invitation" Anang said.
"We were planning to take a walk in the city park. Papa wants to come?" ask Santi.
"Are you not angry with Papa anymore?" ask Santi's father with a cheerful face.
"No... There is exactly what I want to talk to Papa, if Papa can already trust me and Anang," said Santi.
"Santi... Papa told me that Papa had thought of everything. Papa's coming to see you, there's no way Papa still doesn't believe you right now, right?" ask Santi's father.
"Yes already... Papa wait a minute, we get ready first" Santi said, then stood up from his seat.
"Wait in Papa's car, downstairs?!" said Santi's father, then walked out of the room first.
After Santi's father left, Anang then let out a long sigh.
Then Santi's father didn't hear anything.
Or maybe Santi's father knew, but pretended not to know?
Anang felt very embarrassed by his own conjectures, scratching his head.
"Why?" santi asked in a mocking voice, as if she knew, what Anang was thinking right now.
"It's okay," said Anang, then hurriedly pulled Santi to quickly get out of the room.
"Don't make your father wait a long time" said Anang.
Anang did want to quickly go to Santi's father, because he did not want Santi's father to think, if Anang and Santi are now doing 'something', if too long in the room.
Santi just laughed softly, while following Anang.
By riding in Santi's father's car, Anang and Santi went to safety in the middle of the city.
Their journey with Santi's father was soothing for Anang.
If Santi's father can trust with Anang and Santi, then Anang's situation can now be said to be quite improved.
Now Anang does not need to be burdened with the relationship problems of father and son.
"Well, did you know that Peter was actually trying to ruin Anang's good name?" santi asked when they were sitting on the bench of the garden, which was lined up neatly, between trees and decorative lights.
"Peter reached out to one of Anang's friends, and tried to make Anang's friend convinced that Anang was a fraud.
But obviously Anang's friend didn't believe him, and instead came to us and told him everything Peter said to him" Santi said.
"Oh, that's why, when you came to Papa's house you ran amok with Peter?" said Santi's father.
"Yes. We already suspected that Peter would have incited Papa.
Even though I was going to ask Papa to help Anang, because according to Anang's friend, Peter will report Anang to the police, on fraud charges," said Santi.
"Not only that, now Anang's single is on the rise, but Anang is accused of plagiarism, from one of the famous record labels.
From the name of the label, Anang suspected that it was a record label owned by boss Peter," continued Santi.
