Shackles Love Contracts CEO Secretary
The Instinct of a Father

Seeing his son who never smiled for almost 2 weeks, made the heart of Aji's father sliced. He began to realize whether it was because he showed his dislike for Aji's lover, until the woman asked Aji to stay away from him. Wasn't it from the beginning Aji's father didn't approve of them? Then, why is he not happy when Aji and his lover separated?

Aji had never argued with her father again, but if with this Aji had to endure pain, it felt as hard as a father, would not bear.

Aji's condition that made his father's heart broken, made him decide to go back to meet Syadira. When he arrived at the boarding house, Aji's father approached the guard post and asked to be called Syadira. The guards escorted Aji's father to Syadira's room and knocked him.

How shocked Syadira was when she saw Aji's father standing in front of her. Syadira then let Aji's father sit on the bench in front of his room. Syadira cleaned the dried leaf drop on the bench that Aji's father would sit on. “Please, Sir.”

“What's the matter, Mr Haryo met me?” Syadira's heart is uncertain when dealing with Mr. Haryo. Because in his 3 meetings, he always heard something bad. He was afraid this time it would be the same.

Aji's father confirms Aji's statement about Syadira asking her son to stay away from her. Syadira nodded slowly. Aji's father continued his question. “Because of me?”

Syadira smiled faintly and lowered her head. “As per what you ordered at that time.”

“You said you didn't want to hurt my son by leaving him, why are you asking him to stay away from you now? What difference? You are the same as hurting Aji,” said Aji's father.

“I asked Mas Aji who stayed away from me, not me who left him suddenly. It is better for me to give up, than to make Pak Haryo and Mas Aji always fight just because I, a woman who is not worth fighting for,” Syadira replied firmly.

Syadira paused for a moment then continued his explanation. “Since childhood, I was forced to live to always be sincere and accept whatever happens in my life. Want to not want to, like not like, I have to get used to living with dreams that never materialize. The dream to be like others, to have responsible parents and love their children. Including a simple dream of being able to live happily with someone I love. So, if it is just fulfilling Mr. Haryo's request to part with Mas Aji, it is not something that is hard for myself, because I can control my feelings to return sincerely, he said, that's my food, sir. But the hardest thing for me was seeing Mas Aji get sick from this breakup. That's why I refused at the time.”

“Then why do you want to do?” ask Aji's father again.

Syadira breathed. “We were forced to lose before fighting. The wall between us was too high to climb and too strong to break down. Maybe we could have both struggled to knock it down, as long as no one was holding our hands and feet against our own family. Fighting something that comes from the outside is easier than convincing a shaky heart because of the absence of support from within.”

Syadira wiped away her tears which suddenly fell back and then offered a drink to Aji's father. “Pak Haryo want to drink what, sir? I have a bottled drink inside.

Aji's father gave her hand code to refuse. “I am not long, it is already going home.” Aji's father stood up and said goodbye to Syadira.

Syadira nodded respectfully, she also returned to thank him while at the supermarket at that time.

Aji's father received his thanks and started walking away. Just walking 5 steps, Pak Haryo stopped and turned his body towards Syadira. “Later tonight I wait for you at home, my driver will pick you up at 7. Aji just wanted to meet you.”

Syadira smiled and nodded. Aji's father continued his steps to leave the cost of Syadira. Aji's boyfriend just wishes that this was a good sign for his relationship.

“Air search, just a minute,”Aji replied briefly.

Aji's father asks her to stay home, as Aji's father wants to surprise her with Syadira's presence.

Before long, the driver who picked up Syadira came. Syadira is welcome to ART. Aji who saw the arrival of Syadira, rushed over and hugged her so tightly.

“We succeeded. But I miss once we didn't meet for long,” whispered Aji to the heat on her lover.

Syadira just smiled in Aji's arms and hit him on the shoulder.

While Aji's father was only silent to see the look on Aji's face that changed when he saw Syadira.

“Have you ever seen Aji that happy? What when you took her abroad for the first time and when you bought her dream car, Aji was so happy? Understand and appreciate his happiness.” Grandpa Aji suddenly appeared from behind.

“You should be able to feel what Aji feels, when you can finally hug Aji's mother after a long separation. Your wife must also be smiling there seeing this, and crying when yesterday saw the child she entrusted to you sad,” continued Aji's grandfather increasingly made his son reflect to cry his longing for the late wife.

Finished giving up longing, Aji invited Syadira to approach with his father and grandfather.

“Let's have dinner together, Syadira,” invite Aji's grandfather.

They gathered together at table 1 and began to talk.

“If you really want to work, why not work at Grandpa's place, if you have graduated, your ability is mature. If you want, you can work in a travel agent, there are still some employees because it is only 1 year old. You can help out there and learn to do work. The schedule follows your lecture schedule, so you work before and after college, the return is still at 5 pm, the entry remains at 8 am,” bargain grandfather to his future grandchild's wife.

Syadira looked at Aji, puzzled by what to answer.

“You can try 1 week first, if you are overwhelmed, you just focus on college. Later Grandpa told his supervisor not to give you heavy work assignments. If you are married to Aji, Grandpa wants you to be able to manage at least 1 business unit Grandpa,” continued Aji's grandfather.

“Iya, Kek, thank you very much, later Dira try,” replied Syadira did not want to refuse Grandpa Aji's offer.

Syadira thought hard how he should be able to divide the time for Aji, college and work in 2 places even though 1 can be done from the cost, because he still has a 1-year contract bond with his freelance office. He does not want to disappoint Aji's grandfather who has received it well and gave this good opportunity to him. However, it was Aji's grandfather who had worked hard to try himself to be equal in the eyes of Aji's father.
