In the morning ....
The atmosphere of Mentari village as usual, the residents are busy heading to the rice fields and busy children will go to school. It was just their daily activities, including Zane who today chose to return to the rental house, because it had been a week more himself in the village, he said, while in the company has a lot of work waiting since yesterday.
After the second conversation, Chelsea and Zane feel awkward one moment another. No one spoke to each other, leaving Robert's father astonished by the two.
"You two okay?"
Chelsea, who was busy preparing rice for Robert's father, turned her head and nodded. "Me and Mr. Zane are fine, Dad. Why?"
"What a weird thing, just yesterday you held hands and now you're like strangers."
Uhuk ... uhuk ....
Chelsea immediately slapped the back of Zane who was choking on his warm tea. Robert's father thinly saw the reaction of the two. Chelsea's face flushed red because of the words of Robert's father who seemed to hear what they were talking about yesterday.
"Master, this-"
"Call me as Father, Zane." interrupted Robert's father with a sharp look. Zane glanced at Chelsea asking for approval, the woman only gave a small nod and went back to preparing the rice bushel.
"All right, Dad." Zane replied, putting a smile on Robert's father's face. The middle-aged man sipped his coffee and looked towards Chelsea.
"Son, don't think about your mother. Marry Zane,"
Zane and Chelsea looked surprised, Robert's father just smiled sincerely at Zane. While Chelsea was worried if Robert's father really heard the conversation they both had. Robert's father stood up and rubbed the princess's head.
"Father was guilty of forcing you to marry Reno, but Dad is now aware that Father is not God who can determine people's soul mates." Chelsea just silently looked at the bead of Robert's father's eyes that are very similar to Chelsea. Zane even stood up and looked at Robert's father in disbelief.
"You're a little girl, Dad, whenever you want, Chelsea. Right now convinced by the choice, Dad." Robert's father glanced at the silent Zane, "marry Zane."
DEG ....
"What do you mean, Dad?" chelsea asked with tears that had escaped. Zane held both of the woman's shoulders.
"Dad wouldn't want you to marry Reno just to get into debt, Dad. Let it all be Daddy's business" Robert's father said, making Zane shake his head.
"Dad, I can help you pay off that debt!"
"You can help me, Zane. But the only thing you have to do for me, this includes helping me."
Silent. Chelsea looked at Zane and Robert's father in turn. Chelsea began to be confused by his own decision, on the other hand did not want to be away from Robert's Father, and on the other hand did not want to hurt Graceful Mother.
Chelsea loves Anggun Mother like her own. The lack of affection that Robert's father gave to Chelsea, made Chelsea thirst for affection. And Chelsea just found the Mother figure in Mother Grace even though the woman did not like it.
"What is that, Dad?"
"Marry my daughter,"
Again and again Zane's tongue felt faint to answer. Despite the great expectations to Chelsea who have not answered his offer, but Zane will never give up to get the heart of the beautiful woman. Falling in heart has made Zane really go crazy as he is now. Zane wants Chelsea to be the mother of his children and Zane's wife. But all the decisions are in the hands of the beautiful woman.
"A .. I can't decide yet,"
Robert's father was bitter and rubbed the princess's head affectionately. "Never waste a man who's been in love with you, Chelsea. Don't be like Dad,"
...****************...
In the backyard of the house, the two men of different generations were facing each other for a few minutes. There was no one but the two of them. They are Zane and Robert's father. Robert's father deliberately took Zane to the backyard, because there was something important he wanted to say about Chelsea.
"Dad heard you two talk yesterday,"
"I'm sorry, if I have been presumptuous to express my love for the princess, you" Zane said in her formal language. Robert's father folded his hands together and looked at Zane's bead carefully, like looking for something there.
"Do you really love my daughter?" ask Robert's father to make sure. Robert's father did not want the daughter he had been guarding, married to a random man, and when Chelsea married Zane, it was a sign Reno's offer did not apply again.
Actually Robert's father had refused a marriage offer from Reno, with the lure of paying off debt. But Robert's father certainly thought about the consequences he would get. He just wanted the best for his daughter all along.
"I'm really in love with Amora, Mr. Robert" Zane replied with great confidence. Father Robert's eyes squinted with seriousness, looking at Zane's bead to find honesty and sincerity. And Robert's father found it.
"I'm in love with your Princess without any incriminating reason. Kindness, sincerity, that's what made me fall in love with Amora, I don't want Amora to marry the wrong guy like Reno, Mr. Robert." continued Zane with all his seriousness.
"Why do you call me Master?" asked Robert's father with an indecipherable look. Zane smiled faintly and pulled out his phone.
"Because you are Mr. Robert Lewandowski Lemos. The King of Business three that's been missing for years, isn't that right, Mr Robert?"
DEG ....
Robert's father instantly fell silent. The identity that he had been hiding in meetings turned out to be easily known by young people like Zane. Zane gave her cell phone featuring a photo, a photo of two men who have been separated for years.
"Does Master Robert know this man?" zane asked by pointing to a photo of his own father, Owen's father. At once, Robert's father's eyes rounded wide and suddenly looked at Zane who was smiling towards him.
"Ka .. you?"
Zane nodded, "I'm Zane Abraham Lincoln, the eldest son of Owen Gervinho Lincoln and Bellamy Zoey Lincoln" Zane said, making Robert's father even more surprised. Zane kept his phone back and looked at Robert's father wistfully.
"Papa was looking for his best friend all this time, hoping that the accident that befell Mr. Robert was just a big impi for my Papa," Zane said, staring at Robert's father who seemed reluctant to make a sound. Even the middle-aged man's tears were dripping profusely with his body trembling withstanding the cries.
"Tell my pardon to your Papa, Zane" replied Robert's father in the end making Zane's eyebrows lift up completely.
"Master Robert won't be returning to the business world?" zane asked Robert's father to wipe away his tears quickly.
"Don't talk about the business world here, the dangers." Robert's father's reprimand made Zane even more confused. Actually what happened, until Robert's father was reluctant to discuss about his company which is still growing rapidly and is now in the second category with a famous company, after Zane's.
"Alright, Mr. Robert has a story debt to me and Papa!"
Robert's father chuckled amusedly and patted the shoulder of the man who turned out to be the son of his old best friend. "So you love my daughter so much? Do you intend to marry her?"
Zane smiled faintly, "I have expressed my wish to question Amora, but my wish is covered with an offer." Robert's father smiled again, the middle-aged man began to understand the discussion of the offer.
"Chelsea is my flesh and blood with Kimberly Ryder. The daughter I love so much and my soulmate after my wife. Chelsea grew up without a mother, at a young age. All this time I've given her less than love, because I've always blamed myself for my wife's death."
Zane was just speechless listening to an old story from Robert's father. Zane became reminded of a beautiful-faced little girl, very similar to someone. Zane seemed to have to find out about the little girl who had been his friend for several years. Although old memories, but Zane remembers very much about the long-haired beautiful girl.
"I will not forbid you to marry my daughter, Chelsea. I just want the best for my daughter, and the best man of my choice is you, Zane."
DEG ....
"Mr-"
"Call me Daddy's like Chelsea and twins call me," Robert's father interrupted making Zane develop a smile. Doesn't that mean he got his blessing indirectly from Robert's father?
"Get my daughter like I look after her, she's a beak and loving woman. Chelsea is very similar to her mother, and stubborn as I am. If you want to part with my daughter one day, bring my daughter to me nicely."
The words from Robert's father made Zane smile thinly while nodding steadily. His heart was steady to challenge such a beautiful woman as an angel. Zane will tell his family this news later and include his friends Daniel and Nicholas.
"I'll take care of him wholeheartedly and lovingly, Father."
