MY SWEETIE BOYFRIEND'S
MISAPPRECIATE

Are these eyes blind to see who you are? I begin this love with heart and prayer. Every prayer I pray for the universe to unite us together in the world. This time I pray that the universe will soon unite us in its paradise.

"Delilah .. Can Papa talk to you for a minute?" ask Dion.

"Papa wants to talk to me, just talk to me" he said.

"We talked in the back garden. Don't forget to wear your knit jacket" Dion said, then passed from the bedroom door to the back garden of their house.

Delilah wears cloth trousers and a knit jacket because it is night. Then follow Dion who has walked first.

"Sit near Papa" Dion said as his daughter arrived.

Delilah sat down beside Dion. "What's up, Pa?"

"Honey .. Do you like Miss Ardila?" ask Dion.

"Yes, Delilah likes it. The guy's good, really. Why did you ask that?" Delilah frowned as she did not understand the question from her papa.

"Do you want Papa to tell you a story?"

Delilah nodded, "Yes, Deli wants to."

"Simple story. The story of a man who likes women who have different ages. Although there are many beautiful women who fight over it. He still loves that old woman. They married, and fate took one of them, and the man lamented his sorrow."

"Then?" ask Delilah.

"The man could not forget his wife, but his family .. told him to remarry for the sake of their daughter." Dion gently rubbed the top of Delilah's head. "You're fifteen years old. Don't understand anything yet. Go to sleep."

"Delilah doesn't want to force Papa. Who says Delilah wants a new mother?" Delilah looked at Dion's face. "Just like it because Aunt Ardila fills this void in the heart. It seems like Delilah hasn't spent a long time with mom."

A clear thread dripped from Delilah's eyelids. He understood the meaning of Dion's story. Actually, he also felt very lost in the figure of Dila. Not long ago he was able to be with his mother, but quickly fate had already separated the two.

Dion hugged his daughter. "I'm sorry, Papa, son. If you told Papa to give you a replacement for your mama, Papa apologized for not being able to grant it."

Marrying another woman is not on Dion's life list. It's better that he's gone than to be tormented living with another woman besides Dila. Dion's Selfishness? He is more concerned with his feelings than his daughter's.

Delilah nodded, "No .. Who said that? No one can replace my mom. Whoever it is."

Dion was also unable to hold back the tears that came out of his eye patch. It's his fault that doesn't exist for Delilah either. He did change, but still the emptiness in his heart was visible. He always locked himself in the room, but Delilah was also lonely.

"Princess Papa wants to remember the time with mom? We're going to do things like when we have mama" Dion said.

Delilah nodded, "Yes ... Delilah wants to, Pa."

...****************...

"This what?" ask Ardila.

"That's a gift for Aunt Delilah."

Delilah is currently in Ardila's salon. After returning home from school and changing clothes, Delilah asked Paijo to drive her to the salon.

Ardila opened the black box she had just received as a gift. However, he was shocked by the contents inside. A branded watch he got from his fifteen year old daughter.

It was not strange that Delilah obtained such a luxury item. His brother and father were businessmen. Not to mention the inheritance from his mother which was all given to a Delilah.

"No, really, Tan. My dad knew I was going to give Aunt a gift. Aunt has been wanting to be my friend all along. I'm so grateful that Auntie, Delilah is not lonely anymore. Aunty was very considerate, and Deli felt close to her mother."

Ardila smiled, "Auntie as your mama."

"Thank you, Auntie. Delilah would take it that way if Auntie allowed it. But, Delilah does not want Aunt to marry papa. Enough mama who became a companion papa," said Delilah smiling.

Ardila was shocked to hear it. He thought Delilah liked him and wanted to make him a replacement for Dila. Was he the one who mistook all this? Or is he who takes it too much? There is nothing wrong if a fifteen year old is friends with an adult woman. Moreover, the woman had a positive influence on him. It seems that Ardila alone brings a feeling of closeness between the two of them.

"Yes ... Aunt will be Delilah's friend."

"Thank you." Delilah hugged Ardila.

...****************...

"Delilah said Miss wants to see me. What's up, huh?" ask Dion.

"I want to make a confession" Ardila said.

When Delilah wants to go home, Ardila leaves a message that she wants to meet Dion at a restaurant near the salon. Although already familiar with Delilah, but Ardila did not have the contact number of the widower of one child.

"Confession?" ask Dion.

Ardila looked at Dion's face. He should not have said this, but he should have done it because otherwise his heart would have been very curious about Dion's answer.

"I like you" said Ardila.

Dion was silent to hear it. Shocked? Absolutely nothing because he knew Ardila was harboring a taste to him. Dion smiled sweetly and made Ardila gasp for the first time he saw Dion smiling before him.

"Do you know Miss Ar, why don't I call Miss Dila's name?"

Ardila nodded, "No."

Dion smiled again. "Dila's name is my wife's name. Before Miss says like, there are many women who say the same thing. My love and life are just for him. There is no woman but Dila in this heart."

"I understand if this statement of feeling is too soon. You certainly can not forget him," said Ardila.

"Where could I forget it. For years I have harbored feelings of love. Chasing it, even snatching it out of my own papa's hands. After he is nonexistent, this love still grows bigger, even torturous. I live with nothingness, feeling crazy. Don't be fooled by my appearance. Verily this is a mere pretense."

Ardila was shocked to hear it. "Master ... What did you say?"

Dion moved from his seat. "Thank you for everything you gave to my daughter. But sorry, I can't accept your feelings."

Dion walked away from the restaurant. Ardila looked at the man she liked. He had no idea what Dion had said. Is there such a crazy love in the world? What magic did Dila use until Dion went crazy over it? The beautiful women were completely invisible from the eyes of the man.

If I am given one request by the universe, then I will ask him one thing. A time machine. I'm going to turn our lives around, which is to enjoy once again the two of us together.

Seriate.
