Waiting room at the Correctional Institution..
A girl dressed in an ash blouse and jeans, long-haired and pretty looking like a doll, waited anxiously. Every now and then see what awaits to come.
One by one the men, dressed in prison uniforms, entered and filled the tables where their families were visiting.
Out an old man in a prisoner's uniform.
The girl stood up. "Papa?"
The man named Herald Hanjaya, a corruptor who had served ten years in prison, was surprised to call him Papa.
"Who are you?" He asked to see a beautiful young girl he did not know.
"I'm Geetazia, Papa's son." The girl approached and hugged him.
"Geetazian? My kid?"
"Yes Pa. I'm Papa's son. My mother's name is Santi Dewi Pertiwi."
The Herald was shocked and looked at the nineteen-year-old girl.
"I've been looking for Papa for a long time and know about Papa being held in this prison. I finally found Papa."
Suddenly the Herald pushed him away. "I'm not your Papa."
The girl was surprised. "Papa, it's Geet Papa's son."
"After me, Santi aborted the contents. You're definitely not my son."
The girl shook her head trying to convince her that she was her son.
"It was all a lie because Mama was threatened by Papa's first wife, Pamela Ma. But my mother gave birth to me healthy. Mama told me everything that's why I'm trying to find Papa."
Herald remained silent and shook his head. "I'm not your Papa. You're wrong." He moved but the girl held her hand.
"I'm Papa's son. Why don't you believe me?"
The man looked at the girl who was trying to convince him.
Without a care, he reentered the holding cell.
***
The nineteen-year-old Geetazia left Lapas in tears.
"Why the hell? At this time, Papa still won't admit me?" He sobbed while wearing a helmet and riding his motorcycle.
Just about to turn on the motor, his HP rang.
He took off his helmet and answered the phone.
"Hello?"
"Halo Geet, where are you? Is it the way home?"
"Here I go home, Auntie."
"Before you go home you stop by Bang Imron's shop. Aunty just ordered rice and groceries, but her employee Bang Imron again did not come in. Don't forget to take it."
"Yes Aunt. I'll stop by."
"Oh yeah Auntie would go with Mas Boni. Then you lock the door, Auntie comes home late and Auntie also has the keys."
"Yes." Yeah."
"Hurry home, Geet."
Geet disconnected the phone and took a deep breath.
Tina the Aunt has been taking care of her since her mother Santi died of illness eight years ago.
He wears a helmet and drives his bike at moderate speed.
Along the way he remembers what happened after his mother died.
Geet is the son of the Herald Hanjaya. Santi became a Herald mistress who married the series and with the condition Santi was pregnant first. They meet when Santi, who works as a karaoke guide, is hired by the Herald and they get in touch.
But the relationship between Herald and Santi is known to the Herald's first wife who is a career woman, who has a position as General Manager at a large company.
Pamela the Herald's first wife threatened her if she gave birth to her baby, Santi would be doomed. Because of fear of Pamela reckless, Santi was forced to lie to say will abort the womb.
Geet was born without a father, without a clear status to be called an illegitimate child.
When Santi fell ill, he was handed over to his sister Tina for treatment.
Eight years ago Santi passed away. Geet has lived with Tina ever since.
But he had to work hard because Tina could not finance his life.
Before Santi dies, Santi reveals who his father is. And ordered Geet to meet Herald Hanjaya who was sentenced to twenty years in prison. His father's sentence was ten years, but the Herald did not recognize him as a child.
That took Geet by storm.
Even at the worst of times, when everyone was away, Geet still came to see him. But the rejection he received.
Geet just wants to be recognized. But that's just hope.

"It is this.." Bang Imron, the owner of Tina's subscription grocery store, brought her a sack of rice and a box of groceries.
"A full time Bang?" Geet checked the contents of the dus. The tantenya can be brought if there is less.
"Udaahh's... Shrimp Abang check ampe three times even."
Geet transports the goods to his motorbike and ties it with a rope.
his HP reads there's a chat coming in. Geet hurriedly picked up HP in the bag and read the chat.
#Don't lock the room. Malem Tina is sleeping, Om is going to your room.#
Geet growls in disgust getting a chat from Boni, his tantic girlfriend.
Boni often bothers him. Only in front of Tina Boni was gentle and loyal, when in reality, the man was a striped nose!
Boni once entered his room when Geet wanted to change clothes. Fortunately, the girl had not undressed. Angrily, Geet kicked Boni out of his room.
But it did not make the striped man was a hatchet, even more aggressively approached Geet.
"Tonight I have to install more keys so that old bangka is not desperate to break down my room!" Geet rode on his bike and drove towards the shop that sold the padlock.
"Hey Geet,." a man in glasses and an athletic tall body, greeted him.
Geet only smiled at a glance. "Hey."
"Lo needs a padlock for what? Your home padlock is still as good as it is."
"Make sure not to be broken into the thief." Geet pick out a suitable padlock. "Seek this one."
"What's your house, Geet? How do I not know?"
Geet lazily responded and paid, then took his groceries.
"First up.." Geet immediately drove his motorbike home.
Afran, a late-level medical student four years her senior, is her neighbor. Afran the only one who was polite never brazenly bothered him. It's just that Geet isn't used to being close to men.
Arriving home, Geet parked the motorbike in the yard and opened the helmet.
The house is simple with a large yard and garden in the back.
Geet opened the rope and took things down.
Suddenly he was fixated, feeling dizzy in his head.
His body was limp, when suddenly there was a hand holding his body.
"Lo why, Geet?" Ask Afran.
Geet let go of his grip. "It's okay."
"Lo hasn't eaten yet?" Tanya Afran saw Geet's face so pale.
Geet was silent, since the morning he had not eaten because he was anxious to meet his father in Lapas. Even in the afternoon he had not eaten anything too sad at the thought of his father's refusal.
"Come to my house. I make food."
"No need to cook instant noodles."
"That's the worst. Empty stomach eating instant noodles. Where's your house key?"
Lazy arguing, Geet gives the house keys. Afran immediately opened the door and brought the goods into the house directly into the kitchen.
Afran went out and locked the door.
"Come on." Afran pulls Geet's hand towards his house across the street.
***
"I made chicken soup." Afran serves a bowl of soup and a plate of warm rice.
Geet gulped, his stomach rumbling.
"Eating college. Even looked at. I'll take a drink." Afran back in the kitchen.
Having been so hungry, Geet immediately poured the soup into his rice and started eating.
"Where can you not eat?" Ask Afran while putting a glass of water on the table.
Geet did not answer busy eating.
Afran noticed Geet who was silent. Until a plate of rice runs out, a bowl of soup runs out.
"Lo hasn't answered my question. Where did you come from?"
Geet snorted coldly and gulped down his drinking water.
"Abis invented my bokap. So tense that I forgot to eat."
"She take care of your health, Geet."
"Yes yes..." Geet knew Afran the doctor-to-be would be lecturing on health. "Om What guide? Are you alone?"
"Still in the workshop. Back away too."
"Gue go back first. Thanks for that, masakin." Geet immediately took the bag and left the house.
"Tomorrow for work?" Tanya Afran drove forward.
"Yes." Yeah."
"You together?"
"No need. I can ride the angkot. Motorcycle also want to dipake Aunt Tina."
"Yes, we're together tomorrow. Our destination is the same."
Geet. "Gue males if hit by the Purple gang. You know they don't like lo deket-deket same me."
"That's why we leave early in the morning. Girls are not going to come in the morning. Yea? Tomorrow I pick up at half-seven."
Geet no longer refuted. "Yes. If you're not ashamed to go with me." He breezed into the house.
Straight into his room.
He stared at a piece of Herald Hanjaya article sentenced to twenty years in prison after corruption of infrastructure funds up to hundreds of billions of rupiah.
"It turns out Papa was arrogant. I just need to share all these articles to find where Papa is." Geet tore off all the Herald Hanjaya article paper that was attached to the wall of his room.
And throw it in the trash.
"What else can I expect? I have a corrupt Papa, who doesn't even want to admit me as his son. All these years I've been trying to find him, it's all for free."
He rushed to put up the padlock he bought so that his tantric girlfriend did not barge in.
