Astika was surprised to see John Effendy already in front of his hotel room this morning . Though she knew her Daddy was very busy at the company because her husband was away in Holland .

" daddy ... "

" Good morning dear, sorry if Daddy's arrival surprises you . Can Daddy come in ? "

" Of course .. Come on Dad "

John Effendi immediately sat on the sofa in the middle of the room . Astika is calling the restaurant service to deliver coffee and some cakes . Asti knows the habit of his Daddy who always took the time to drink coffee accompanied by a few snacks .

" Thank you dear .. You still memorize my habit "

" I'm your daughter Dad, I know all about you .. " said Astika with a smiley face toward her Daddy .

" What is the need until Daddy arrives so early already in this place ?! "

" Daddy and God last night had to solve a problem . The problem is not really a big deal for Daddy but the impact of that problem could affect the credibility and good name of the company . Big name Effendi is at stake ! Good thing God helped Daddy until all the affairs felt easier "

Astika put on a gloomy and sad face, her ears are hot if her Daddy continues to adore the man she hates so much but also at the same time she admires .

" And Daddy's son-in-law put me in a hotel while I was visiting his house . She hates me Dad "

John is seen rising and sitting next to his daughter . Slowly rubbed his daughter's shoulders with affection .

" You've been Daddy's pride ever since you were a little darling, you're Daddy's proud daughter !! "

" What is this !? "

Astika felt strange when she could see the look of sadness on her Daddy's face .

" Daddy just wanted to tell you something . Actually you should have known this a long time ago ' the thing Daddy buried decades ago "

" Daddy kept a secret !? "

" I ?? Daddy kept a secret about me ? "

" It used to be when Daddy was young Daddy often did things that were against the wishes of parents . Daddy always wants to do all things on the basis of his own desires . At that time Grandpa betrothed Daddy to the daughter of his relationship and childhood friend . And of course Daddy is strongly opposed to the matchmaking "

" What is Mother !? " ask Astika who immediately got the answer to the head of her Daddy .

" That night Daddy was a little frustrated to drink a few glasses of wine . A few glasses of wine will not be able to make Daddy drunk, but at that time Daddy was too upset when he heard in the next month inevitably Daddy had to marry the daughter of the relationship Grandpa . Daddy was too fast to carry the car until he accidentally hit a motorcycle "

John Effendy seemed to sigh at him, it seemed like the next story would be heavy to tell .

" The man died at the scene . It turned out that the man was the backbone of the family until Grandpa decided to bear all the living expenses of the man's family . But what happened then was beyond our expectations . the wife of the man asked me to take responsibility for him . She asked me to marry her so that I would be responsible to the child in her womb . He wants life insurance for his daughter "

" Daddy drink.your coffee first .. "said Astika when the resto service has come to her room .

" Can Daddy finish this story first !!? "

" Of course Dad" replied Asti again sitting by his Daddy's side .

" Grandpa disagrees, even he has a black signature on white if it will bear the needs of the family for as long as needed but not for a marriage . They threatened to send Daddy to jail on charges of negligence leading to the death of a person . And its working ! Grandpa did not want his surname smeared with Daddy into the hotel prodeo it . I ended up marrying her, but our marriage was just a serial marriage .... "

Astika who knows the least about who is being told by his Daddy becomes silent a thousand languages . It was like being hit by a boulder when he found out the truth that she was not his Daddy's real daughter .

" We only marry on a contract note . I'm not home with him, nor have I ever touched a fingernail . I respect her as an honorable woman . Less than a year after that event I married officially with a woman who had been betrothed to me . At first I hated it ! Indirectly he is the one who made me harm to kill people . But for a long time she was able to make me fall in love until she finally contained the fruit of our love . The child is your sister .. Jasmine "

" Does that mean Jeje isn't my real sister Dad ? "

" Daddy raised you with the same affection . But your mother kept demanding that I be able to marry her officially . Mother is afraid if you already have Jasmine then Daddy will abandon you . Mother continued to terrorize Mommy without my knowledge and it was a blow to your Mommy, until finally Mommy left for good . After that for the good of both of you finally Daddy was forced to decide to marry mother in order to take care of both of you . But the conditions of Mother turned out to be too heavy, she wanted Daddy to get rid of Jasmine to the Netherlands join the Grandpa . And you know exactly what Daddy's answer is ... "

" Daddy couldn't have lived without Jasmine .. without the two of us" Astika said with tears streaming down her cheeks .

Astika did not expect it to be this small story of her past . The hatred he had nurtured since childhood turned out to be unwarranted . Her father turned out to have a strong reason why he had to send her biological mother into a mental hospital .
