"Ma, Khairi has arrived and he is currently in his apartment. I want to go there, Mama, ngizinin, don't I?" ask Hamdan to his wife. "Papa wants to meet my daughter Laily–."
Merry paused for a moment before replying, "If Papa wants to see Laily, go ahead, but Mama can come along, right? Mama also wants to know Mama's daughter."
"Of course you can" Hamdan said.
She was happy that Merry was willing to accept her children like her own. Previously Hamdan was afraid that Merry did not like Laily, not even allowing him to meet the princess. Now the man can calmly meet his biological daughter.
"Why do you want to change clothes first, Mama wants to change clothes too?" asked Hamdan while standing up.
The woman simply nodded and followed her husband into the room. It looks like the man is very happy. As long as you choose clothes until you finish wearing them, the smile never fades from your lips. Merry didn't have the heart to forbid Hamdan to leave.
Finished preparing, the two left with their new Dodi–sopir.
"Ma, will they accept Papa's presence?" hamdan asked as the car drove.
"Of course, Papa is the parent of Khairi and Laily, surely they will accept" replied Merry.
Although she was actually doubtful, was Nur and Laily able to accept Hamdan's presence, after what the man had done first. Despite her ignorance about Nur's pregnancy at the time. However, she is also a woman who knows very well how her pain is left while pregnant.
"May be right, yes, Ma. Papa can't wait to meet Laily" Hamdan said to himself with a smile.
'Can't wait to see Laily or her mother? I shouldn't have come to see them. What if my arrival would only add to my heartache? I'm a fool, ' Inner Merry.
All along the way only Hamdan spoke. Merry just chimed in once in a while. The woman's heart was already muddled with the various thoughts that were in her head. Although the husband had convinced her many times, still in his heart felt shaky.
"Ma, come on, get off! We have arrived" said Hamdan disperse his wife's daydream.
"Emm .. I'll just wait here. Papa comes in alone, it's okay, right?"
Hamdan looked at his misbehaving wife. He knew that Merry's heart was not calm. The man should have understood and not come here before the woman's heart calmed down. Hamdan stared at the apartment building and then looked at his wife.
"We go back home, sir," Hamdan told Dodi.
"Huhuh?" Dodi gawked at the orders from his superiors. If the parking lot already wants to go home, why was it here?
"Don't, Mr. Dodi!" merry Sela. "Why go home, Pa? Doesn't Papa want to meet Laily? When we go home, it's a waste to come here!"
"I'll come in if you come. I know you're still not sure about my coming here because it's better we go home. I don't want to hurt you, let alone make you cry. I don't want to make the same mistake."
Merry was moved by the husband's words. He did not expect Hamdan to take care of his heart so much. The man willingly did not meet Laily, just so as not to make his heart hurt.
"Come, Mama's going inside. Didn't you say you wanted to meet my son?" take Merry with a smile.
"Mama sure?" hamdan asked while looking at his wife. Merry nodded in response. "Alright, come!"
Hamdan and Merry join hands to Khairi's apartment. Both are not ashamed to be the subject of attention of others. Even though they are no longer young. As soon as he got to the door of the apartment, Hamdan knocked on the door several times, until someone opened it and it turned out to be Afrin.
"Father, Mama, please come in" said Afrin, opening the door. He was surprised by the arrival of his father-in-law.
The woman was confused as to how. Khairi did not say anything if her parents were going to come here, but she was also unlikely to expel her in-laws. In Afrin's heart pray, hopefully they forgive each other and understand each other.
"Oh, this ... Papa and Mama" Afrin replied with a forced smile.
"Laily! You're Laily, right? It's Papa, Son!" hamdan exclaimed as he walked up to his daughter.
The more Hamdan approached her, the more the girl moved away. Laily has indeed received the presence of Khairi although not completely, but Hamdan. It was not that easy that the girl accepted it. There was too much pain that the girl had experienced.
He has felt a lot all along. Both in physical form and in heart. It all felt and it was all because of this man before him. Laily had heard all the stories about his family first. It was not easy for the girl to forgive the father just like that.
"No, I don't have Papa" Laily muttered, trying to hold back his tears from falling.
"Honey, it's Papa! Don't be like that."
"No! I don't have Papa!" laily shouted then ran to the second floor towards his room.
Khairi and Nur who were in the kitchen were shocked to hear Laily's screams. Both of them went out to find out what really happened. The girl had just come out, but why did she scream? Think they.
"What's up, honey? Why is Afrin screaming?" kairi asked his wife.
"There's Papa with Mama, Mas," Afrin replied quietly.
While Bu Nur had stopped his steps hearing the answer from Afrin. However, he tried to look ordinary. The woman took her foot back and greeted Hamdan who had come with his wife.
"There's guests? I'm sorry I just found out" Nur said, shaking hands with Hamdan and Merry. "Please sit. What was it? Why is Laily screaming?"
Hamdan was not feeling well, meeting Nur under these circumstances, rejected by his biological daughter. While Merry just stared at the woman from her husband's past with a smile. The woman admitted that Nur was beautiful even though he only appeared simple without makeup polish, let alone skin care.
Khairi and Afrin looked at each other. Both do not know what to do.
"Why silence? Laily, why are you screaming? Afrin, what's wrong?" ask Nur.
"Laily doesn't want to see Papa," Afrin replied quietly. He felt bad for his in-laws.
Nur nodded his head. He understood his daughter's feelings. If possible, the woman also wanted to expel Hamdan from here. But, that's no use. Holding a grudge only hurts more.
"Shortly, let me talk to him."
Nur walked towards Laily's room upstairs. Everyone just kept quiet, not knowing what to do. They hoped that the woman could persuade her daughter.
"Laily, this is Mom, can I talk?" ask Nur after knocking on the door.
"No. If you're just saying that I forgive the guy, there's no need! I don't want to meet him. I don't have Papa, from the past and until anytime!" laily shouted from inside the room.
