Sincerity
Misses

Next day..

After school, Helena went to a place where Harry, her sister, was buried.

"Happy Birthday Harry Jefferson. Sorry, I just came. Many problems that I have to face, so it can only be ngunjungin you now, on your birthday." said Helena while wiping the tombstone of the sister's tomb.

Helena took a breath before continuing her words.

"You know? last night I met Papi, yes Papi Har... The Papi who once left us, who does not care about us, who is not there when we need and not there when your last breath"

"Nonsense. You don't think we're evil! Papi's our parents. Parents that we should love and respect. Papi is not evil, there are only people who call Papi from us, hiks! why don't you come to my dream again? You don't miss me?"

"Oh yes you are calm in nature there, Xylon says that God loves you, so you are called first. So, you don't feel the pain of cancer anymore and don't have to be sad about this severe life problem again Har.. hiks..."

Helena sobbed beside her sister's grave while drowning her face in the hands above her knees.

Then suddenly, someone touched her shoulder and said, "Helena.." making the girl look up to see who had called her.

"Pa-papi?" he said when he saw that it was Roy who came and said his name.

"Yes, kid. This is Papi" said Roy.

Helena who had missed her Papi was immediately hit by Roy's hug and cried a mouthful in the arms of the Papi.

"Sorry Papi, Hel... Sorry Papi."

Roy is so sorry that he no longer knows how to apologize and make amends for his son and ex-wife. He also cried because after 10 years he could hug his eldest daughter again. Occasionally he kissed Helena's head and fondly stroked her daughter's black mane.

"But apologize to you, Hel. Papi is guilty, Papi has the heart to send you and Harry" he said, who continued to apologize for being too enveloped with guilt.

"Hiks... Helena also apologized to Papi... Helena has been disrespectful to Papi, Helena pretends not to know Papi, Helena apologizes for hating Papi... Helena the son of the ungodly, hiks..." Helena also apologized to Roy for his attitude during this time. How he was rude and disrespectful, hated and even pretended not to recognize his own Papi. Helena felt as a child, she had been disobedient.

"Congratulations, Helena. You don't hate Papi wrong, because it's all natural. You don't like to squirm Mami you're hurt, you don't like to squirm evil before your eyes. You're just acting like a normal human being whose heart is soft, Papi knows that."

"Helena misses Papi hiks..."

"Bapi is also kangeeeeen.. really the same Helena, but Papi is too embarrassed to meet Papi's own son." Roy let go of his embrace and wiped his daughter's tears and kissed Helena's forehead.

"Once again Papi apologizes, Helena.." said Roy who again apologized who was answered by a nod by Helena and hugged his daughter again.

After a while, Roy took off his arms and turned his eyes to the grave of his little son, Harry. The son who used to say that he missed Roy so much, even Roy did not have time to meet and hug in his last moments.

Roy crouched down and touched his son's tombstone with hard tears stopping out of his eyes.

"Bapi's coming, son, happy birthday. Harry how are you? Harry misses Papi, right? now Papi has come"

"Harry, Papi's sorry, son, Papi isn't there when you need Papi and miss Papi"

"Udah Pi's... Harry must have seen Papi come here. So, Papi don't blame Papi again, the important thing is that now Papi is aware of Papi's mistake and regrets it all." said Helena who tried to calm Roy so as not to continue to blame herself. What passes, let it pass. There is no point in continuing to blame yourself and speak the same words with regret, because it will not be able to change what has happened in the past. All that remains is regret that cannot be changed. But, while given the opportunity by the Almighty to change themselves for the better, then immediately change and learn from the past and also experience to become a wise human being in living life.

"Harry, don't you forget to come to my dream, Mami's the same Papi huh!" said Helena who returned crouching and leaning her head on Roy's shoulder while staring at the grave of the sister.

Roy embraces Helena and rubs her shoulder.

Seen from a distance, a man was watching them with a smile etched into his handsome face.

That man is Xylon. At first, Xylon wanted to surprise Helena with her arrival at Harry's funeral when the girl told him she was going there after school. But when Xylon came, he broke his intention to go there. Because, he wanted to let Helena and her Papi let each other miss. Not wanting to disturb the relationship between father and son, Xylon decided to get back into his car and go back to the office to do his job. Tomorrow, the work is not too much.

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

After holding out for a few minutes in the position, Helena and Roy stood up and left the cemetery.

"Is Papi busy today?" ask Helena before they step on her feet. "If you're not busy, we're going to the Mall yuk, Pi!" he continued, who invited Roy to go to the Mall and hoped, Roy is not busy and willing to obey his wishes.

"OK, go! today Papi will buy whatever Helena wants" said Roy, who of course agreed to Helena's request. After all, it has been 10 years he did not vacation with his eldest daughter.

"Yes!!! but Helena's car, huh? because Helena wants to point to Papi, if now this Papi child can drive himself"

Roy smiled and stroked his daughter's head. After that, he embraced Helena as he said, "OK, who's afraid?"

Helena smiled happily to hear, she had been waiting for a long time where she and Roy went to spend time together.

However, before they actually left the cemetery, they say goodbye to Harry's tomb and kiss his tombstone. "But go first, son. next time, Papi promises to be here again." After that, Roy and Helena left the cemetery and headed to Helena's car. But before that, Roy had asked his driver to take his car home because today he was going with his daughter.

When they got to the mall, it was true what Roy said. Roy bought her whatever Helena wanted and of course it would not be wasted, the girl actually bought a lot of things she liked without thinking about the price. But Roy doesn't scold her, but instead is happy to be able to meet the needs of his daughter and be able to give something back to Helena after 10 years he has given nothing to her. Now, he's redeeming everything today.

God is Most Fair. If you feel you have not got what you want, it means it is not the right time for God to give you what you want. However, humans often complain of his wishes that have not been fulfilled. God must have planned something more beautiful than what we asked for. God gives us what we need, not what we want. God knows what is good and bad for us.

^^^"The hunt is ready, keep picking up^^^

^^^aku. I wait!"^^^

Tutt...

on the other hand, Xylon could only smile and shake her head as Helena turned off her phone unilaterally.

After that, he immediately got ready to pick up the lover on a date.

When he came down, Xylina who happened to be passing the stairs and saw the appearance of her sister did not want to let him pass by. "Uhuk... uhuk. Very neat, very fragrant."

"Shock." jolted Xylon who felt surprised when Xylina appeared suddenly.

"Yes, my brother. Hahahaha," Xylina said as she chuckled.

"Haha, I'm old Cici" replied Xylon.

"Have a son!"

"Part of like a demon, like to bother"

"Kok getting more and more?!" Xylina was annoyed at being likened to a 'demon' creature'. Xylon did not respond.

"The monkey!"
