My ex-Ipar Candidate
Meet My Beloved (Haidar)
"Papa?"
Gian was stunned to look at Raka who was now as if to pounce on him. Rarely did the man visit his son's apartment, because this was one of Gian's choices that he did not bless long ago.
"Can Papa come in?" asked Raka later, feeling strange when Gian did not even allow himself as before.
"Ehm, of course, Pa."
With a heavy heart Gian was forced to let Raka in, he was afraid that Raka would blindly catch Haidar's presence in his Apartment.
Walking around, Raka is like a detective who seeks the truth in her son's apartment. His sharp eyes looked around the room, and there were shoes that looked like they had come loose on the floor.
"You put someone else in here, Gian?"
Simply understand the character of his son, Gian is so neat as he was when young. Gian shook his head briefly, immediately grabbed the shoe and put it where it should be.
Too worried about the state of Haidar, making him forget to improve last night. Gian momentarily stared at the dining table that was blocked by the glass wall, there was no longer Haidar there. Either because of fear of the presence of Raka, or indeed he went back to sleep again.
"Papa's answer, Gian."
"Ah, no, Pa. I was just too tired last night" Gian said in self-defense, only trying to protect Haidar.
If Raka knew what happened to Haidar, of course he would be angry. Even first Gian decided to stay in the Apartment because of Raka's tantrums that did not accept Gian's destruction.
Raka stepped up, sat down on the sofa and asked the Son to come closer. He knew that Gian would not return home tonight, leaving Radha alone, the wife he was supposed to be with.
"Sit,"
The handsome man ruled over his son, staring intently as he folded his hands.
"You, forgot your current status, Gian?"
Gian fell silent, knowing exactly what Raka meant. Must be a household issue. It really sucks, Gian thought. Why should he feel, the situation he feels right now is very difficult.
"No, Pa, absolutely Gian did not forget. It's just that, Papa should know, it's not that easy to accept Zura as my wife."
The dense yet clear answer momentarily made Raka speechless. True, indeed Gian will not be that easy to accept Radha as his wife.
"Papa knows, but you should also know how difficult it is in your wife's position. And yesterday, how could you leave your wife in such a state of grave injury?"
It's really outrageous, why did his papa interfere and know about yesterday's problems, Gian thought hardened his jaw. If not the action of the mother, of course this is the work of the complainant's little child. That's what Gian thinks right now.
"I-I didn't do it, Pa. I left because there was some business, and I couldn't leave it behind" replied Gian steadily, a common excuse that Raka often heard.
"What reason? Your woman? Your night world?"
The menyohok question that makes Gian stabbed, sick and weak when Raka attacked him so.
"really right? You heard Gian, Papa and Mama started from a compulsion, more or less the same as you. And everything will change when you realize how much he means by your side someday."
With full authority Raka spoke so softly, he just wanted Gian to understand. Even their age is not much different when married, and Raka quite remember the difficulty he received Jelita at that time.
"Not everything Papa can force, me and him are too different. Even the doctor thought of her as my daughter because she was too small, how could I accept her as a wife."
Given the incident, Gian was again upset. As old as he was until the doctor dared to say so. Her chest was hot, it was really very annoying for her.
"You can talk like that, but you'll see in the next few months. You're gonna fall in love like Papa did with your mother first."
Raka was about to move, in the face of the wall clock that was always ticking. Today he plans to invite Radha to visit Maya, the Mother of his daughter-in-law. It's clear that he came here to force Gian again and again.
"Papa .. ck, really sucks!!"
Gian clenched his hands, staring at the back of the Papa who was now starting to move away. It feels like he's in a struggle, but it'll all be ruined if it happens.

Gian opened the room door quite roughly, his steps halted, knitting an eyebrow as he caught Haidar's presence near the door of his room.
The gaze full of questioning for a moment made Haidar afraid, Gian caught Haidar's face change. It looks somber and more depressing than last night.
"What are you doing, Haidar?" asked Gian to put his palm in his pants pocket, the man walked towards the closet to change his current clothes.
"Where are you going?"
The question escaped with his trembling lips, Haidar as if choking while trying to say.
"Ck, I don't know, as you know. Papa's a forger and always has surprises."
Gian blinked his eyes, smiling cunningly which made Haidar even more wondering. It's true, the Papa is too much that he can't possibly understand.
"Hm, you want to come?" bargain Gian pulled the corner of his lips, he knew Haidar would turn him down.
Even if Haidar wanted to, there would be no way he would allow it. He could not imagine if Radha and Haidar met in the near future, obviously both would be destroyed at the same time.
"Hm, no, Papa could've killed me" replied Haidar with a smile. Indeed, he still very much missed Jelita, but the existence of Raka made Haidar undo his intentions yesterday.
"Well, you stay here, Haidar, okay?"
"Ehm, yes."
"Sister," he called again as Gian was about to leave the room, the man looked up and looked at Haidar questioningly.
"What?"
"May I borrow the car and ask for your money?"
"Ck, where are you going, your face is really ugly, Haidar."
The man spoke, but he immediately took out his wallet and gave some money from his wallet.
"You choose it yourself. The key is in an ordinary place," replied Gian, he understood Haidar knew without needing to be explained.
"In the meantime, where are you going? asked Gian later, quite curious about the purpose of Haidar's departure.
"Walking to my boyfriend, it just so happens to be Sunday. He's not going to school, is he."
Haidar's enthusiastic face momentarily made Gian speechless, how will it be. He was only able to answer with a faint smile while patting slowly on his shoulders and shuffling his sister's hair.
"Don't forget to take a shower" Gian said shortly before stepping out, not wanting to linger in front of Haidar.
"What's wrong with him" asked Haidar in silence, quite surprised by Gian's attitude so different this morning.
