Sorry I Have to Go
Hugging Elif

Liam was standing in front of a large glass window, he had just returned to meet someone, someone important enough to meet before everything he started .

" I'll let you take him if he wants. But if he refuses, you know what you have to do, get away from his life and never show up in front of him again ."

Enough words to make Liam stiffen, it could be that person made an offer to him. But he also has no other choice and maybe this is his chance to get everything back in place, he's already planned everything and is pretty good so far .

The first step he took was to return to the place where his daughter was now .

When the clock was still far away, Liam was waiting there, waiting for Elif to come out of the gate and he could see his daughter up close .

Tringggg

As usual when the bells are heard, children will scatter out of the building, waiting for their parents to come pick up . The same thing was done by Elif, with the school bag behind her back she stood there, directing her gaze in all directions hoping her mommy had come to pick her up , but it seems that this time the mommy for the first time came late because she did not find her existence, Elif had to sit on a bench that was specifically in waiting for students.

" Hello, how did you manage to do it ?"

Liam who while making the call did not take his eyes off his daughter who was sitting, he actually felt guilty about having to do this , asking his men to make Kaluna late to come to pick up Elif by leaking a car tire in a place far from the workshop, because that way he could meet his daughter

After listening to the answer from his men, Liam then got off the mobi and walked up to Elif , the boy was glorifying his legs to relieve the boredom of waiting for his mommy . Liam's heart pounded as the distance between him and Elif grew closer .

" chem"

Liam cleared his throat and sat right next to Elif, the long-haired girl with the bangs raised her head looking at the person who was just sitting next to her then her gaze returned towards the front as if unconcerned with the person who had just sat nearby . Liam smiled at the expression of his daughter who looked indifferent, according to what Elif did look adorable in his eyes .

"Emm, what came to pick you up hasn't come yet ?" Liam finally started to weigh in

Hearing the question that seemed to be addressed to him made Elif back up his head and nodded .

" Are you waiting too ?" ask Elif back

" Em well, I'm also waiting for an , it doesn't matter if you sit here,"

" Em "

Answer Elif briefly

" Is your usual Daddy coming to pick you up?"

Elif shook

" Not , but mommy , mommy who always comes to pick me up,"

" Really?"

" em"

" Why, is your Daddy so busy you can't pick you up when you get home from school ?"

Liam is waiting for an answer to what will come out of his daughter's lips .

" because Daddy doesn't live with me and mommy."

" Why ?" ask Liam back .

" Said mommy there's a need for Daddy, so Deddy can't stay with me and mommy."

Elif's answer made Liam speechless, he didn't expect such an answer that he would hear from his daughter . He even tried to bump earlier, Elif would reply if he who left left left her . But it turns out he was wrong .

" Didn't you miss your Daddy?"

Seeing that Elif was just silent, leading Liam to change his question, he realized that Elif had no answer to his question .

" If your Daddy comes along and takes you with him and mommy do you want to?"

" Will Daddy love Elif as much as mommy?"

" Of course." Answer Liam quickly.

" Then Elif wants to ."

Liam smiled at his daughter's answer .

In the middle of the father and son chat, a message notification went to Liam's phone .

" The child's mother will be here any minute, sir ."

After reading it, Liam said goodbye to Elif .

" Uncle will leave now."

Liam stood up, he didn't want to see her until Kaluna saw her, it wasn't time that the woman he so longed for knew her presence .

" Has the person Uncle was waiting for already come?"

" Yes, he called Uncle . Before Uncle leaves can Uncle hug you ?"

Elif seemed speechless to hear Liam's request which he thought was a stranger to him .

" If Elif can't be okay - what, then uncle go first." Liam's face looks disappointed, but he hopes his daughter assents her wish , but she understood for sure Elif was uncomfortable no matter how her daughter would consider herself a stranger . Liam turned to leave the place but suddenly a hand stopped his steps, making Liam turn back

" Uncle can hug Elif "

Elif's position that was sitting is now standing . He raised his head to stare at the face of the uncle who asked to hug him .

Hearing Elif's answer, Liam immediately aligned his body with Elif ? of course Liam was very happy, he immediately hugged his daughter so tightly, Elif also reciprocated . Behind Elif's back, Liam shed happy tears and before letting go of that hug , Liam wiped his tears he didn't want Elif to see him, before leaving the place Liam kissed the top of Elif's head for so long .

" Thank you." said Liam, he then left the place quickly, Afraid that Kaluna would see him .

After a while after Liam's departure, Kaluna also arrived and came to her daughter who was seen sitting alone waiting for her.

" Pity forgive mommy ya for being late to pick you up, mommy car tires leaked. , "

" It's okay mommy, There was an Uncle who accompanied Elif ."

" em Uncle, who ? " ask Kaluna

" ah Elif doesn't know her name is mom ."

" Yes, let's go home ."

Kaluna did not respond too much to who the person who accompanied her daughter was, maybe that person was one of the parents who came to pick up their child, let alone Elif did not say if the person bullied her .

Kaluna drove her car away from the place and not far from where Liam was still there to see Kaluna as well as Elif .

" Elif, Daddy wishes you could petrify Daddy get sorry from your mommy ."

Liam also left the place after he had not seen Kaluna's car, he was grateful because his wish was fulfilled today, was close to his daughter and could hug and kiss her daughter .
