My best friend Maduku
Chapter One Hundred Twenty Five

During the day Willy was already in the city where Lani lived. He wants to meet Lani and Bobby at one of the city's cafes.

After waiting for almost half an hour inside the cafe they promised to see Lani and Bobby walking into the cafe.

Seeing Bobby, Willy stood up from his seat. Bobby who also saw the presence of Willy immediately ran to hug his father.

"Dad.... "

"Yes, kid. Father misses Bobby.... "

"Bobby is also kangen, father..."

Willy hugged his son tightly and without realizing it tears fell down his cheeks

"I'm sorry, son. I just saw Bobby "

"Bobby thinks you've forgotten Bobby"

"Dad can't forget the father's son. I just haven't had time to visit"

Willy let go of his embrace and put Bobby in the chair beside him.

"Bobby wants to eat what. Bobby can order whatever Bobby wants.... "

"Bobby doesn't want anything, Bobby just wants me.... "

Hearing Bobby's words Willy's tears can no longer be dammed.

"I'm sorry, son. All this time I have abandoned you, but you have nothing wrong in the matter between father and mother. I'm too selfish, thinking too much about my own feelings without thinking about what you're feeling "

"Dad, why are you crying... "

"Dad was happy because Bobby wasn't angry with dad... "

"Bobby actually wants to be angry with you, because you never come to pick up Bobby. Bobby wants to stay with Oma Elly again, Bobby wants to stay with dad. Bobby's friends all have a dad. Bobby said to Bobby's friend, if Bobby has a dad. Bobby's dad worked a lot of money to get Bobby"

"Bobby wants to stay with dad... "

"Yes, Dad.... "

"Bobby, what you said earlier. I can't take Bobby to Oma Elly's house because I still have a lot of work, I came to want to see Bobby aja, because Bobby's father misses "

"Rubber, Dad. Bobby can't come with me"

"Bobby is now in school. Later if I bring Bobby to school how. Anyway, I'm gonna have to work, Bobby with whom.... "

"With Oma Elly "

"Oma Elly also works dearly "

"Bobby can be at home, Bobby's already great. Bobby's not scared"

"Bobby, can't Bobby order ice cream first there. "say Lani.

"Yes, ma"

Lani took a breath before speaking.

"You look at Wil, how Bibby misses a father so much. He currently does not know if the father he had longed for and was proud of was a loser. He did not know that his father had never wanted his presence. You never think, how hurt Bobby when he grew up and realize if all this time his father never wanted his presence, his father did not want to know about the development of his son. His father never paid any attention to him.You can imagine how broken his heart was when he knew it.... "

"Lani I'm sorry.... "

"There's no point in saying sorry, Wil. After all you should not apologize to me, but to Bobby who has been a victim of selfishness from his father, who only thinks about his feelings. Who is preoccupied with the destruction of his heart by having to part with the woman he loves no matter how broken the heart of a child who never considered his presence from his birth "

"Lani, you're wrong. I love Bobby. I never meant to make him hurt and hurt"

"But you've hurt his heart, Willy"

Lani and Willy stop their conversation because Bobby has come.

"No boy... Bobby ate it... "

"Dad, Oma Elly said she'd pick Bobby up. When will Oma come"

"If Oma is not busy with her work, surely Oma comes to pick her up"

"Oh... "

"Bobby, how's the school. Would you like to move to a school near Dad... "

"You dad... "

"Say me, if Bobby wants to"

"Ma, Bobby went to school near my dad... "

"Can't be Bobby, Mama has to go to college and work here. Can't move"

"Lan, I'm sorry. We can start all over"

"I'm not sure we can start all over, Wil. Because everything starts with a mistake, so eventually there will also be a mistake"

"You don't want to give me one more chance"

"I've repeatedly given you a chance. But you always never change, you never take advantage of the opportunities I give you. Maybe we are better this way now. I'll stay here and you'll stick with your life. We look at each other introspectively. Where our faults are that we always fail to build a harmonious household."

"Do you want us to get divorced"

"I never said I wanted a divorce, or you wanted us to get a divorce "

"No... "

"If not, then go like this. At the beginning of our marriage, we are also separated by distance. So let's just say we're like we used to be"

"Alright Lan. I know it's not easy for you to come back to trust me. I won't force either. You have a point. We should introspect ourselves first. Let us be aware of the mistakes we have made. But I promise I'll try to see Bobby here.. .."

"I don't need your promise. You just prove your words. "

"Alright, Lan. I can still take Bobby down the road. We're going to the mall, get Bobby to play"

"Can... "

Willy and Lani leave the cafe. They're heading to one of the nearest malls. Willy spent the whole day with Bobby until nightfall.

"Bobby, now Bobby has to go home. I will also return to the hotel where I stayed. Tomorrow I'll be back again. I promised you I'd come again... "

"Father promise yes." Bobby held out his pinky to Willy's pinkie, a promise sign.

"Dad promise. Bobby can't be naughty, listen to what Mom says. So a smart kid"

"Yes father, heart of heart, "said Bobby.

"Bobby and mom are also heart-hearted"

Willy got into one of the many taxis lined up in front of the mall.

Lani brought Bobby home. He drove his car slowly.

"God what I feel right now. I can't really escape Willy's shadow. Am I stupid still not able to let go of Willy completely. Is this obsession or love, I don't know"
