Son of Genius: My father's Conglomerate!
Family gathering
"You're sure your parents don't want to see you?"
"I don't know, it's just that I didn't dare to meet them after everything that happened." Shelia sighed deeply.
"Let's meet them," Richard clasped Shelia's fingers channeling the warmth inside.
"A-I-I," he said nervously.
"Light be with you." Richard kissed the head of Shelia affectionately.
Shelia agreed.
The next day, Shelia and Richard leave for country C where Shelia's parents live. It's been a long time that Shelia hasn't set foot in her homeland, longing, of course but she doesn't have the courage to go home.
Shelia sat quietly while looking at the water ripples in the river where she used to always stop first before returning home. He liked to sit in this place before returning home, a quiet and eye-setting place.
Elsewhere, not far from where Shelia was sitting. A middle-aged man was sitting in front of a canvas and painting something. The wrinkle on his face was visible, his hair was a little gray but not too visible because of obstructed head cover.
"Sir, do you want a drink?" Richard handed him a glass of hot coffee.
"No, thank you for not drinking any more coffee." Refuse smooth.
"Ah sorry I don't know," Richard misbehaved.
"No papa."
"Whose master did you draw?" asked Richard looking at the picture with a curious face. A picture of a woman's back facing the river.
"She's my daughter." Answer's flat.
"Ah your daughter, she must be very beautiful looking from her beautiful back," praised Richard.
"Yes she's pretty, but unfortunately she's not here." He said with an unread look.
"Wherever your daughter is she must miss you so much" Richard said.
"If he misses us, he should have come to see us here but no, he's forgotten us his parents for the sake of a jerk!" The man immediately finished what he was doing and got up.
"I'm sorry Mr. Richard, I was talking about my personal problems with you, I got carried away with it." He said a little embarrassed.
"Ah don't papa Mr. Jenner I understand very well what you feel." Richard answered with a smile.
Mr. Jenner patted Richard on the shoulder with a laugh, "thank you, Mr. Richard, no wonder you're such a successful businessman you're so understanding."
"Mr Jenner you're too complimentary, I'm just lucky enough that's it." Richard replied humbly.
"Ah you said you're here with your wife, where is she?" ask Mr. Jenner curious.
"He's resting at the hotel, he says he's tired."
"Ah so, come to our house later tonight. We'll talk over dinner."
"Sure sir, with pleasure." Richard said, Of course that's what he wants.
After his meeting with Mr. Jenner Richard returned to Shelia who was sitting on the riverbank.
Grep...
Richard ambushed Shelia and hugged her shoulder from behind.
"Why are you taking so long?" shelia.
"I met an acquaintance earlier, so we talked for a while." Shelia rounded her mouth to form the O's hurup.
"Are we not going to see my parents?" ask Shelia.
"of course! Maybe you'll meet your parents there, too." Shelia smiled weakly.
Honestly she was afraid, afraid that her parents would not forgive her, Shelia let out a heavy sigh, "well, I'm coming."
Evening arrived, Shelia already looks beautiful wearing a long dark blue dress with jewels that appear to shine in the light of the lamp.
Shelia and Richard set out in a car, on the way, Shelia looked back and forth, she knew this road, this was going to her parents' house.
"Richard, where are you taking me?" shelia asked to see if her guess was on target.
"You'll know the answer when we get there" he replied with a smile.
"I know how I forgot where I was born." Shelia smiled gently but was full of sadness.
"Richard, will they forgive me?" shelia asked she already felt pessimistic in her heart.
"Honey, angry parents he will still forgive his son if he apologizes and regrets their mistakes. It's possible that your parents have long forgiven you and wish you'd come back."
"I wish everything was what you said. But, if they won't forgive me how?" fear and nervousness perched in Shelia's heart, making her feel nauseous in her stomach.
"Don't think bad, let's try." Richard's convinced.
The car stopped at a pretty luxurious house court with a mixture of classic and modern.
"You ready?!" richard asked, Shelia nodded in response and they went down. For the first time, Shelia set foot in her yard again, after a long time she decided to leave.
Richard linked his fingers with Shelia's, knowing that his current wife was nervous and frightened. They walked side by side and entered the house after one of the maids opened the door.
Not much has changed, everything still looks the same as when Shelia left first.
"Welcome Mr. Richard, let's-" said Mr. Jenner immediately stopped to see who came with Richard.
Degs...Degs...Degs...
Shelia's heart was pounding, her blood was rushing, cold sweat was pouring down her palms as her eyes met her eyes. Shelia clasped Richard's hand and Richard held it.
"Who's coming?" The voice of a woman who was also suddenly present in the room. The woman's gaze caught the face He recognized, He covered his mouth with the palm of his eyes festering for a moment.
"Your friend" said Shelia with caution.
"Shelia! Is this you, son?!" Madame Jenner came and hugged Shelia at a glance, and touched Shelia's cheek, looking at the face she missed the most.
"Yes, it's me mah" said Shelia full of haru.
"Where have you been? Mom misses you so much, Papah too." Madame Jenner looked at her husband who had been silently staring.
"Well, I'm sorry Shelia Mah. Shelia had made such a big mistake, "Shelia sobbed in her mother's arms.
"Of course, Mom has forgiven you, son." Mamah rubbed Shelia's back gently.
Shelia took off her embrace, and moved towards the father.
"Bah, sorry." Only those two words were able to come out of Shelia's mouth in between her sobs, She looked down in a clear look of regret on her face.
Mr. Jenner sighed heavily, "have it, let it pass. Now are you sorry? Did he leave you?"
Shelia nodded in response still in a lowered state like a defendant in court, "why can you be with Mr Richard?"
