THE OWNER OF THE HEART ROOM
40

"You still want a mate?" ask Mr. Pambudi with the same question again.

Richard rolled his eyes puffed.

"No." replied Richard firmly.

Mr. Pambudi rushed to see Richard's wry face.

"Yes" said Mr. Pambudi kalem.

It took a while for Richard to digest his papa words just now.

Until he finally realized the words of his father just now.

YEAH.DID.

Meaning the word YES What was that?

His father ngijinin he's with Nawang?

Or did his father set him free in determining who he would marry?

Or what?

"Well, what do you mean, Pa?" asked Richard hesitating in a confused tone.

"Yes already if you do not want to be fooled" replied Mr. Pambudi relaxed.

He knew Richard was confused by the words.

And indeed he was amused to see the confused expression on his son's face.

"As a child, you have carried out your duties by obeying our orders. You followed our desire to marry Anin. Even though you can and can afford to resist and even rebel. But you chose to hurt your own heart and obey us. Even if you eventually get divorced, papa doesn't blame you at all. In that case, it is we who must feel guilty to you." suddenly Mr. Pambudi spoke long and seriously.

He sat facing Richard.

His eyes occasionally looked at Richard who lowered his gaze.

In the heart of Mr. Pambudi is very proud of this only boy.

His manners are very awake.

When in front of the parents - whoever it was - Richard's attitude was always so solemn.

It was all obvious because of the upbringing of his gentle and clever wife.

"No papa, Pa. We also have no regrets about the marriage" Richard said quietly.

Yes, if he was not married to Anin noisily, of course they would not have Darren who is handsome like it would be more than this papa.

"As long as you are a widower, Papa also never you introduce with a girlfriend. You really never dated again?" asked Mr. Pambudi half in disbelief.

Richard chuckled softly and then shook his head.

"I can never fall in love again, Pa. So how can I have a special relationship with a woman if I don't love her? I don't have the talent to be a playboy anyway" Richard said in a joking voice complaining about his 'flaws.

"Why is it that you love Nawang so much, that there is not even a little space in your heart for another love? What's advantages?" asked Mr. Pambudi with a curious look at Richard.

Richard lifted his head.

Confused what to say.

"Mmmmm, the advantages of Nawang are only one...."

"What?"

"He can make me comfortable with what I am. This rich me can be arrogant in front of him without him feeling low and he is also not inferior in front of me. He is perfect for what he is.He is economically deficient, even until now. But he never complained about his flaws. He never made his shortcomings a weapon to seek mercy. He never felt poor. He's good at being grateful in his life."

"That's all?"

"He was very strong and knew himself. I think Papa proved that, didn't he?" richard asked half-insinting his papa.

Never lost from his memory when his father firmly spoke in front of Nawang if Richard and Nawang were not as level.

And Richard knew for a fact that Nawang was very hurt by those words.

Amazingly the woman did not cry or get angry at the time.

Nawang who was still young at that time was able to act very calmly in the face of the insults.

And Nawang immediately said it without refuting because he realized it was an undeniable reality, that the degree of wealth of Nawang and Richard is not as level, even as heaven and earth.

"Surely he is the one who persuaded me to obey your will first. I used to plan to fight Papa and leave the house but he persuaded me to obey him because he did not want the man he knew well all along, this one he loved turned into a disobedient child just because of him. He knows himself, he is aware of the position, where to be at that moment. You know, right then and there my love for her grew deeper and deeper into my heart" Richard said, getting a little emotional.

Mr. Pambudi took a slow breath and felt heavy.

Really, he felt so guilty all this time to Richard and Nawang.

But the feeling was trying to get him deep.

All this time he thought Richard's love for Nawang was not as deep and as great as this.

Apparently the assumption is wrong.

His crown son kept his heart broken all alone all this time.

"I'm sorry, son. Papa is very guilty of you. But at that time papa had no other way" said Mr. Pambudi choked slowly.

There was a sad look and regret on his face.

Richard really didn't expect his papa to say that to him.

She thought that throughout her life she would never hear her papa's apology for hurting her heart so deeply.

But it turned out, this old tiger in front of him had softened his heart, for some reason.

"No papa, Pa. It's been a long time since this. I understood from the beginning too. Papa did so too because papa wanted to be devoted to grandfather. Everything is fine now" Richard said at last.

Patted gently on the back of his papa hand that was on the table.

He could not bear to see her face.

Mr. Pambudi nodded slowly and painted a slight smile on his face.

"You're dating Nawang now?" ask Pak Pambudi kepo.

"Kepo is it!" richard replied while chuckling deliberately at his papa.

"The parents are not the real answer even like your behavior." protested Mr. Pambudi then chuckled.

"Where's the trade?" ask Mr. Pambudi later.

Richard shook his head looking at his astonished papa.

"Kok know that Nawang's working?" asked Richard in surprise.

"You said he's still lacking. If you see him who is strong like that, surely he will also not stay silent at home lamenting his poverty right? He must be working to fulfill his life." said Mr. Pambudi.

Richard smiled happily.

It turned out that his father was really listening to what he was saying earlier.

"He works at PT. KAYUKU. We accidentally met because my company has a cooperation with the company where he works. PT. KAYUKU is a company that fills furniture for apartments owned by Pak Darto that I am building." explained Richard.

"Waaaaw...your destiny is so cool!!" said Mr. Pambudi while laughing.

Richard chuckles.

"What the hell, Pa? The comment is not clear that" said Richard amused.

"He if dressed turns out to be very beautiful huh?" said Mr. Pambudi, his eyes glazed over, making Richard laugh even more.

"Who?" asked Richard to be confused.

"Commonet! If your mama is already beautiful from the first." sergah Pak Pambudi.

"Whose girlfriend? Did I say I have a boyfriend?" goda Richard again.

"The trade is a loh!" sulkan Mr. Pambudi sebel, know that Richard meledekin.

"You're getting married again, right? same her?" ask Mr. Pambudi again, trying to find the certainty of the relationship between Richard and Nawang.

"I don't think I'll ever get married again, Pa. Especially with him. I can't." said Richard suddenly, with a sad face.

"Lhoh, why?!" ask Mr. Pambudi in shock.
