OPEN YOUR MASK, PRINCESS!
Episode 236 THE ACT OF A CONFESSION?
A sunny morning with warm sunshine even tends to sting, making doubt every body that feels that there was heavy rain that stopped by the earth last night. Weini was awake before the chicken cigarette became an alarm, she had even tidied her curly hair. The big-nosed girl did not realize since when she had a habit of dressing up when her mood deteriorated. He polishes his lips with peach-leaning color, blushes on matching color and lathers his eyelids in pastel color. Weini treated her face like a plain piece of white paper painted in ink
hue.
Dina woke up with heavy sleepiness, she rubbed her eyes with both hands until her eyes turned red. Her two eyes widened, as she found Weini sitting with a graceful, beautiful-like appearance
going to the party. He hurriedly got up, then packed his sleeping equipment.
“I misfortune ya non? Sorry ... Sorry.” Dina complained, she was struggling to reach for towels and change clothes, about to enter the bathroom.
Weini turned to her manager, giving a sweet smile because of Dina's adorable attitude. “New six in the morning brother, just relax.”
Dina gawked, she almost collapsed hearing that answer. Weini's look outwits her, why try the beautiful artist so perfect at six in the morning? “Non, still sane? Today we have no filming, though,
where is it not going to be this beautiful?”
“Or who is not sane that I am?” Timpal Dina, he with a dazed look went into the bathroom.
Weini just shook her head and then re-patched herself in front of the mirror. His face was already polished, there was no reason anymore he lingered in the mirror. Her steps excitedly out of the room approached the busy Haris in the kitchen with Stevan. Weini stood at the corner of the door, listening to the two men's conversation.
“Om, I can make good western cuisine. Hmm... spaghetti, tender beef stick, let alone yes?” Stevan was silent to think about what his mainstay cuisine was.
Haris even laughed a little at the menu of western cuisine diabsen by Stevan. “Listen it just makes me confused, my tongue that this village only likes to eat eastern cuisine, Chinese food, do you
can I cook that?”
Stevan's confused turn while scratching his head, “I've never cooked it, om. It can be practiced.”
Haris nodded, “Alright, this is a good time to learn. So my assistant now, we make a good breakfast.” Haris offered an apron to Stevan, who used to wear it when she studied with him.
Weini smiled at the spectacle, like a reality show about the life of a child's father at home. Haris knew that Weini had been standing at the back since, but he did not press her. Just let him be busy being a spectator as long as he keeps himself entertained.
“Trus why again om?” Stevan very deftly completed his task of slicing carrots, peeling onions and other seasonings. So fast that he offered himself on the next mission.
Haris appointed Stevan as chef. Giving the young man the confidence to spoil the tongue of the residents of this house at breakfast together. Stevan looks at her with a meaningful gaze, and Haris knows what she's going to say next.
“Om, may I call you father from now on?” Stevan has yet to turn his gaze to Haris, eagerly seeking acceptance.
Weini flinched, she smothered her own mouth with her hands so shocked at Stevan's request. While Haris was still silent, remained calm and had not voiced an answer. Shortly after, Haris laughs
blaring, making Stevan frown because of confusion.
“Young man, your request is not excessive? I don't have any privileges, why call me Dad? You still have someone who is recognized as a father. Me and him make no difference.” Reject Haris
subtly. He had three children whose lives fell apart after he left, then recognized the employer's son as his son. And now, there's another who hopes to be his son. The designation is not just a mere call, there is responsibility from that status.
Stevan looked down disappointed, he felt the rejection from Haris and started to grumble. “That's different, om and he can't be equated. Hah, it's been that I can't force either, maybe my destiny has always been denied. Your child
refusing to be my girlfriend, and refusing to be called dad.” Stevan was discouraged, it felt like a broken heart both times.
Weini fervently looked at Stevan's pitiful face, in her heart exclaiming to Haris for the man to give Stevan a chance. Dad, just accept him. He just lacks affection.
Stevan smiled, his facial expression full of happiness. “I ... I'll be a good sister for Weini.” Stevan said steadily, as he realized Weini was standing behind listening from when. Eye
they exchanged glances, immediately with a smile from Weini that was so soothing.
“Alright, remember that well. So a good brother to your sister.”Haris gave an answer without the word ‘ya’, but anyone knows that his words just now are much more meaningful.
“Ready, dad Haris.” Stevan smiled happily.
Dian appeared from behind Weini with a sewot look when she heard Stevan's voice. “Daddy Haris? What the fuck try? I'm really late to miss the info, why stevan can call Haris dad?”
The three of them – Haris, Weini, Stevan – just laugh, none of them intend to give an explanation. Finally Dina continued her immaturity, “Then I also want to call dad. Can you Haris' dad? Many children much fortune loh!” Whiney Dina, her bright looks even look adorable.
Haris chuckled, he should seize this opportunity. “Bby, but accompany me to drink tea first yes.”
Dina with full spirit nods loudly, “Come, where are you going? The tea is ready yet?” I take it ya!” Dina can't wait anymore.
Stevan was envious to see what Dina got, “Dad Haris, why was only Dina invited? I also want to have tea together, yes Weini. We are together to celebrate this.” Stevan made the proposal
it sounds good, but not at the moment. Haris just needs to be with Dina, alone.
“You two prepare food yes, wait for us to come back just eat together. Be patient, Stevan, just for a second. Next time I buy you a drink outside.” Haris hinted at Weini through body gestures. Weini's face until wrinkled to see his father, he did not understand what Haris planned. And it took two minutes to decipher Haris' code, now Weini understands his father's covert plan.
Poor little Dina. Weini muttered, he clearly knew the continuation of the drink invitation. After a mouthful of water that Haris offered, the memory that the man wanted to erase from Dina's memory would be erased. Weini knows
his theory, but not in practice, Haris still does not believe it because he is afraid he misused the spell.

Dina sat impatiently waiting for Haris tea. He had offered to make the drink to Haris, but instead he was served like a princess.
“Nah, please. Let's toast as father and son.” Haris said with a smile.
“Return!” Screeched Dina and greedily finished that sweet cup of tea.
“And forget!” Whisper Haris, his magic began to work.

This voice is for you, my son Wei Li Jun.
I'm so happy to see you back, standing tall in my reach. At least I know that you're okay. Even though your heart is fragile, and your determination is still full to find me. My son, do you think father
atrocious? Intentionally playing hide-and-seek with you, and only I know this truth? Whatever you think of me, you'll know the answer. In this life, it would be nice if we can live as expected. But that does not mean your life is over, when hope is not as beautiful as reality. Fight a little
