After Cathleen's departure to the kitchen, Papa Danzel and Gerald fell silent. Both are confused about what to do. The host in the mansion still felt awkward because he had never faced the son-in-law who suddenly turned friendly.
“Em ... let's chat in the park.” Finally, Papa Danzel invites Gerald out.
Gerald only nodded at a glance, but he immediately followed the in-laws who were no longer welcome. Not like before.
The two men just sat down. Confused what to talk about. Gerald who was still rigid was finally taking the initiative to find a topic.
“Sorry if our meeting this time feels a little strange. Maybe because I'm not used to dealing with you,” said Gerald with his voice that seemed stiff but still tried to speak politely and kindly.
“Usually we are always arguing, you are haughty, gluttonous, and have no respect for parents. Now suddenly changed drastically. I'm surprised by your nature now,” replied Papa Danzel.
“Sorry if my first impression in your eyes is very bad. But I don't deny all that. I used to be what you said. But, as time went on, Cathleen's presence began to change me.”
Papa Danzel nodded her head several times. “Good if my son can give you a good change.”
The conversation that still seemed stiff between Papa Danzel and Gerald was paused for a moment because Cathleen came to bring a drink. “Sorry to interrupt your chat. As friends chat.” He put two cups of coffee. Being Gerald's wife has made her little by little able to cook because her husband prefers to do all by himself rather than using servants.
“Thank you, dear,” said Gerald as he rubbed Cathleen's arm and threw a sweet smile.
The interaction between the couple did not escape the supervision of Papa Danzel. As a parent, he is relieved if the household relationship of his son is fine and harmonious. It was not until Mr. Pattinson smiled as well.
Cathleen's eyes moved to look at Papa Danzel. “Pa, don't make my husband uncomfortable here. Start accepting him as your son-in-law. Hope you can get closer by talking to both. I just went inside.” A child's expectations are so simple on his parents, it is enough to see two precious men in his life get along.
Before leaving the park area, Cathleen rubbed both the shoulders of the great man in her life.
Gerald stared at the wife's back, which began to drift away. And it didn't escape Papa Danzel's sight.
“Have you loved my daughter?” ask Papa Danzel. He wanted to know the contents of his daughter-in-law's heart, even if seen from Gerald's treatment it was clear that the man had a taste for Cathleen.
Gerald stopped looking at his wife's back, instead focusing his sense of sight on the middle-aged man sitting before him. “Yes, I'm starting to love her.”
“I hope your love is forever and will not fade. As a parent, I always pray and wish my children a happy life. Can you promise me you'll always make Cathleen smile?” pinta Papa Danzel while reaching for the cup to start enjoying the first coffee made by Cathleen. He waited for a response from Gerald who was still silent.
