“For grandpa!” Address the Scale on Aldion Rodio who was already in the dining room. The scale immediately hugged the old man. And kissed her cheek. Scales misses his grandfather very much, although he always sends emails or calls the old man. But still he felt very homesick with his grandfather.
“Good morning also my handsome grandson! I really miss you!” Aldion hugged Skala and kissed her many times. “Did you miss me Scale?” Aldion asked while holding Scales and hugging her tightly.
“Of course. I miss you so much grandpa.” Answer the carefree scale. “Did you go to bed early last night? I didn't see you when me and mommy and daddy came.” Scales while looking at his grandfather. He wanted to see his grandfather's response when he referred to Kenzo as daddy. Would the old man be angry at her if she said that?
Aldion's once happy face suddenly changed when he heard Scala call Kenzo daddy but Aldion quickly hid his dislike with a smile that seemed a little forced. “ Smart is also that rancid boy. He's already got the heart of Scale. Now the Scale has even called it daddy. Fast also steps.” Aldion in the heart.
“I'm old Scale. It's not good for my health to sleep late. You guys came too late last night My eyes are not strong waiting for your arrival.” Killah Aldion's.
“More than since you weren't here. What can this old man do to get rid of his loneliness besides trying to sleep early.” Said Aldion putting on his face.
“You should not be fooled by your grandfather's false expression that's Scale.” Damian exclaimed who had just arrived at the dining room with his wife.
“Grandfather Damian! Grandma Rose.” The scale descends from Aldion's lap and runs towards Damian and his wife.
“ Grandpa Damian and Grandma Rose how are you? As long as I'm in town A not once have you sent me an email or even called me.” Excite Scale while putting on her pouting face. “you have forgotten me.”
“we forgot about you? Where does bad thought come from Scale!” Damian.
“We just don't want to bother you. Besides if we also come to contact you then you will no longer miss to go home.” Damian carried the Scale and placed it on the chair next to Aldion.
“what your Damian grandfather said was Ska.” Rose also supported her husband.
“Well, now tell us all how your life is in town A? Is it fun?” Damian asked as he pulled out a chair for his wife then for himself.
“Is your stepfather mean to you?” Aldion suddenly asked. From Aldion's face, Damian could see that the question looked more like a statement than a question.
“I mean grandpa, daddy?” The scale looks towards Aldion.
“I don't know what you called him. But it must be the man who is at home with your mommy. Is he good with you?” Repeat Aldion.
“Isssh..what the fuck are you Aldion!! Already Scale don't you hear your grandfather. Now answer my question how is your life in town A? Are you feeling happy? And also your mother, is she happy living in A?” city Damian couldn't wait to hear the story from the Scale.
“Why last night uncle didn't ask me directly.” Suddenly, Alesya's voice came from the direction of the entrance of the dining room.
“Alesya, you're finally down son. How are you sleeping and your husband? Did you guys sleep well last night.” Damian greeted Alesya.
“1of course good luck uncle.”Kenzo replied, “Moreover Alesya, it seems like he really misses to sleep in that room.”
Kenzo and Alesya walked towards the dining table that was already filled with dishes on it.
Hearing Alesya's voice reflect Aldion immediately looked towards the source of the voice. Had Kenzo not been in his sight when he turned to the entrance, he would have welcomed his daughter home with joy. But after seeing Kenzo's face, Aldion Rodio's mood instantly changed. Now his heart was full of lightning and thunder that struck alternately. But Aldion Rodio has promised he will not show his dislike to Kenzo because it will only destroy the plan that has been arranged.
While walking Alesya continued to hold Kenzo's hand tightly as if afraid Kenzo would get lost if not grasped.
“Wah, it seems like all of them have gathered.” Alesya pretended not to realize his father's face that looked flat and did not greet him from earlier.
“Good morning dad.” Sapa Kenzo, try as quietly as possible.
“Good morning.” Aldion answered with his face flat.
“Didn't you miss your daughter's father?” Alesya hugged the stiff-looking Aldion.
“of course I miss you even though I doubt if you still miss me.” Answer Aldion briefly.
“Already, let's eat first. We'll just continue to talk.” Damian must quickly mediate this. He was afraid that this morning breakfast that should have been made with rice could suddenly turn into tears.
“You're right uncle.” Alesya. “Huft good thing there's uncle Damian.” Thought Alesya in the heart otherwise.
“Daddy, come sit next to me.” Pinta Skala while showing the chair he meant.
“You just sit next to the Scale, I'll sit next to dad.” Alesya.
With an erratic feeling Alesya pulled the chair next to her father.
After Kenzo and Aleysa sat in their respective places, breakfast was started. The tense atmosphere really felt. Do not try to ask what taste of breakfast is being enjoyed by Kenzo and Alesya because their tongues really do not feel anything from the breakfast they are eating.
“Grandpa! You asked me something about daddy, right?” Ask Scales pretended not to know that everyone was currently choosing to be quiet so as not to bring up sparks in the room.
Simultaneously everyone stopped with his eating activity and glanced at the Scale alternately. “What's up?” Ask Scale again with his innocent look.
Alesya glanced at her son. “What exactly does the Scale try to do?” In Alesya's mind.
“Heem.. Ska, I don't remember if I asked you about your daddy.” Aldion answered, then continued to eat.
“Daddy is now your turn,” Mumbles Scale inwardly, smilingly looking towards his daddy.
“Flash Back On
**At the time before the Scale goes down for breakfast.
“Ska..? Can I come in?” Ask Kenzo from the outside of the Scale room.
“Sign in daddy.” Answer Scale.
Kenzo opened the door and entered his son's room. Kenzo noticed every corner of the Scale room. While walking towards his son, Kenzo stopped to look at some pictures of Skala as a toddler.
“Are you nervous daddy?” Ask Scales while tidying up her clothes.
“What is it all clearly visible on my face? Your mommy also keeps asking the same thing.” replied Kenzo with a smile.
“Yes, that's how it is. But surely I can see it clearly since the incident on the plane yesterday?” sindir Scale.
“Ska, do you know what I dreamed last night on the plane?” Kenzo sat on the edge of the Scale bed while looking towards the ornamental table where the Scale currently stands.
“You dream of meeting grandfather, and he rejects you as his son-in-law?” Guess the Scale with a smile.
“eighty percent you guessed right Scale.” Reveal Kenzo while taking one pillow and hugging her tightly.
“eighty percent? Only eighty percent?” The scale could not believe his guess was only eighty percent correct.
“ya, only eighty percent. Because the twenty percent incident again must not be thought of by you.” Kenzo said with a serious face.
“there is something else that happened in your dream at that time dad?” Ask Curious Scale.
After Skala thought about it, it was impossible just because she was rejected as a daughter-in-law by her grandfather Kenzo Dayon to scream and cry in her dream like yesterday. There must be something else that made his father that mysterious.
Kenzo looked towards the Scale. Old Kenzo just looked at the Scale without saying anything. Though Scale was waiting for him to tell me two percent more.
“Daddy?” Seru Scale.
“heeem. patient Scale. I need time to vent to remember the incident.” Kenzo.
“You know, in my dream to get the blessing of your grandfather, I revealed that I was your real father Scala. And that's what I said in front of your mommy.” Kenzo took a deep breath and exhaled it violently.
“ do you know your mommy's reaction? in my dream your mommy who listened to my confession instantly left me.” Kenzo rubbed his face rough.”That really frustrates me Ska.” Bright Kenzo.
“Do you think mommy will leave me if she knows it Ska?” kenzo asked his son.
Scale looks think.“behind daddy. I don’t know.” Answer the Scale finally.
“fear even though the blessing of your grandfather I managed to get but I instead lost your mommy Ska.” Kenzo said with a serious face.
“If you feel that it will make things worse I think you should not reveal this. Mommy is sometimes hard to guess.” Answer Scale.
“But despite all this stuff Ska, keep this a secret from mommy is also not true Ska. Someday he'll know about this. And this could be a time bomb that could explode and hit me and yourself Ska. Can you imagine how angry your mommy was when she found out only she herself didn't know this truth?” kenzo is weak. He now rubbed his face rough.
“Then you better find a chance to explain this to mommy. If I as a child could understand the complicated situation that occurred at that time, I'm sure mommy would understand dad. Yes even though it only has ten percent possibility to happen considering women always use the heart in making decisions without including its logic.” Clear Scale.
Kenzo didn't feel what the Scale conveyed made him even more excited. “thank you for your helpful explanation that Scale?!” Kenzo, weak. The scale is really talented to knock someone mentally down.
“Actually I've been going to tell your mommy the truth but every time I'm going to say it there's always something else that suddenly pops up and steals my chance to tell her.” Kenzo really regretted not telling this truth earlier with Alesya before he and Alesya came to this house.
“don't worry dad I think there's still time for that. Right now the most important thing is to keep that secret for a while and think about what you should prepare to face grandfather.” Skal shut up for a moment. “So what will you do dad?” Ask Scale.
“you're right Ska.” Answer Kenzo. “Right now the most important thing is to find a way to get the blessing of your grandfather without revealing the truth of it.”
“I'm sure you'll definitely find her way dad.” The scale cheers up Kenzo.
“But I need your help Ska.” Kenzo.
“My help?” Of course the Scale will do anything to be able to help his daddy.
“come here, I will whisper.” Kenzo gave the Scale a code to get closer.
Kenzo whispered something in Scale's ear. Several times it was seen the Scale nodding and then smiling.
“Do you understand Ska?” kenzo asked after he whispered his plan to the Scale.
“I understand daddy. Relax I won't let you down.” Say Scale.
Kenzo feels his strategy will be able to conquer Aldion Rodio. But one thing that Kenzo and Skala did not know was that everything they had talked about had been heard by the servant who had been ordered by Aldion Rodio to spy on Kenzo in the house.
Secretly, the servant left from the door of the Scales room. The waiter immediately reported his findings to Aldion Rodio who was sitting in the dining room.
Aldion's countenance changed slightly when he heard from the maid that Kenzo was the real father of Skala. But a smile rose on the tip of his lips as the servant said that Alesya did not know the truth at all. The servant also said that Kenzo and Skala planned something only that he could not listen to it because Kenzo whispered it in Scala's ear.
“I get one of your weaknesses Kenzo Dayson.” Aldion muttered happily, inwardly.
“Whatever you plan to do with Scale is not important to me. For once Alesya knows this truth, Alesya alone will leave you without me having to take pains to order her to leave you.” For Aldion Rodio the information he received from his servant this morning was very valuable and really very remarkable information.
#Flash tubs off
“good work Ska.” Kenzo murmured in the heart.
“Really? Why do I feel like grandpa asked me about daddy?” Ska was silent for a moment and said, “heem The scale continues to eat.
Kenzo did not waste the path that had been opened by the Scale so quickly he opened his voice to start a conversation with Aldion Rodio.
Now is the perfect moment for Kenzo to be able to start a conversation with Aldion Rodio because seeing Aldion's reaction when answering the Scale question, Kenzo can feel that Aldion is not as angry as he thinks.
“Daddy, if you have anything to ask you can ask me directly.” Kenzo said, getting everyone in the room except Skala back to stop eating them. Alesya was also surprised by the courage shown by Kenzo by calling his father as father.
While Damian and his wife can only look at each other waiting for the reaction to be given by Aldion to Kenzo. Will his best friend will let out a burst of fire like an angry dragon or he can control his anger in front of his beloved grandson.
“Heem,. I will definitely ask you the things I need to ask you later.” Aldion replied to Kenzo calmly without showing any hint of dislike to Kenzo.
Aldion Rodio's calm reaction to Kenzo's question made Kenzo and Skala smile because this was exactly what they had planned. They wanted to know how Aldion reacted when Skala called Kenzo a daddy or how Aldion reacted when Kenzo called him a father in front of everyone. If his father-in-law was not upset to hear that, it is likely that what Kenzo was worried about would not happen. So even though Kenzo was asked to speak one eye to Mr. Aldion, he knew that there was still a chance for him to take this sympathy of his father-in-law.
“The first plan went smoothly.” Kenzo murmured in the heart.
Kenzo and Skala may think that everything is in line with what they're planning. But Damian as the person closest to Aldion Rodio actually felt something strange. How could the morning sun completely obliterate Aldion's anger just like that. Aldion's reply, which seemed to show calmness, made Damian suspect that Aldion had something else behind it all.
The breakfast ended in a slightly calm atmosphere. The chaos that was imagined by everyone did not happen.
“Kenzo, can you play chess? If you can come with me.” Suddenly Aldion invited Kenzo to play chess with him.
Aleysa confronted Kenzo with a worried look. She fears it's just her father's wits to talk to Kenzo and force Kenzo to leave him.
“Are you just going to sit there without following me?” ask Aldion again to Kenzo.
“Sure father.” Kenzo answered, then stood up and followed Aldion.
“I will also come.” Alesya quickly.
“No need. The chess game is played by only two people so neither you nor the others need to follow us. If I invite Kenzo to play cards then you or the others may join.” Aldion answered with his face.
“Already, you just wait here.”ucap Kenzo, slowly.
“but Ken!”
“calm down. Everything's gonna be fine. After all me and dad will only play chess in.” Kenzo. He knew that his wife was anxious about him so he should be able to convince Alesya that he could handle all these things.
Alesya knew all those were just words given by Kenzo to calm herself down. Alesya could sense that her husband was actually being nervous at the moment. That's why Alesya was really afraid that Kenzo was alone with her father.
Unlike Alesya, although Kenzo was nervous and a little afraid of facing Mr. Aldion but actually Kenzo was happy to have the opportunity to talk only alone with his father-in-law. “I should be able to convince him to accept me.” Tukas Kenzo in the heart.
“you will follow me or not?” ask Aldion again.
Kenzo releases Alesya's hand holding her back. Then come into the workspace Aldion Rodio.
Alesya who saw her husband's back disappear behind the door of her father's study can only sigh deeply while hoping Kenzo will be fine in there with her father.
But in that space..
“You can play Kenz chess?” Aldion took a chessboard from one of the drawers in his closet.
“I can little dad.” Answer Kenzo. In his heart Kenzo has set out to call Mr. Rodio as father even though he himself goosebumps whenever he calls the old man as father.
“ayah? Heeem. You're brave enough to call me dad.” Reveal Aldion Rodio with a mocking smile makes Kenzo's courage ketar ketir.
So far Kenzo has never felt nervous like this either when he is in a business discussion or when he talks about things outside of business with anyone. But today, just to breathe in and breathe out again Kenzo was nervous and scared. Maybe it's good he brought his own oxygen tube from his house because the oxygen in the room was as if he hated it.
Seeing Kenzo who did not say anything, Aldion Rodio immediately opened his chessboard.
“We will play three innings. Who won two innings will come out as the winner.” Aldion Rodio.
“Will he really only play chess with me?” Kenzo murmured in the heart. He must be careful because Aldion Rodio is not the type of person who will bring his enemy just to play chess to fill the time.
“If I win then I want you to leave my daughter.” Said Aldion in his heavy voice while eating Kenzo's eyes.
Kenzo was surprised to hear the words of his father-in-law even though he had expected that this would eventually be proposed by his father-in-law as an offer. But still Kenzo did not think how his father-in-law could ask him to stake his family's fate at stake on this chessboard?
Kenzo felt this was a very bad idea. Kenzo remained silent. He needed to think clearly before deciding on it.
“Are you afraid of Kenz?” Aldion Rodio asked as he stroked the chess boy from his box.
“Sorry dad, but I can't risk Alesya's future and Scale on a chessboard.” Kenzo finally dared to speak.
“Why? Are you afraid of losing to this old man?” Sindir Aldion to his son-in-law.
“Not so - It's just that I feel this is not true dad.” Kenzo.
Aldion raised his face and looked at Kenzo with intimidating eyes “so what do you think is true young man? Is marrying a woman without asking her father's permission right? Though the father of the woman still exists.” Aldion's voice still sounded calm when he said that.
But for Kenzo even though it was spoken by his father-in-law without notes that rose an octave or two still makes his heart beat faster. This is because Kenzo knew that the way he married Alesya was wrong. Wrong from the beginning he thought.
Kenzo swallowed his saliva and said, “It was also the wrong thing dad.” Kenzo paused and continued, “that's why I and Alesya are coming to see you to fix everything that's wrong.” Kenzo ventured to look into his father-in-law's eyes but either out of nervousness or something else, Kenzo could not guess what his father-in-law's heart and mind were through those eyes.
“fix? Heeem.. sounds like a relationship is just an inanimate object for you–“ Aldion pretends to think, then he smiles.
“I didn't mean that dad. I'm just-“ Kenzo can't finish his explanation because Aldion immediately cut off Kenzo's talk.
“Then let's play chess with me, if you win then I will give you a chance to correct your mistakes.” Aldion said with a sly smile.
“Please correct your mistake with me Kenzo Dayson, but I wonder how you will correct your mistake with my daughter.” Aldion murmured in the heart.
“If indeed in this way you can give me a chance to correct the mistakes I have made in the past then I would be happy to play chess with you father.” Kenzo.
Aldion Rodio smiled at Kenzo's words and said, “Try to win from me Kenz, then only that chance you get.”
“Don't worry it's dad, I definitely won't budge from you on this occasion.” Kenzo replied confidently.
Kenzo turned the chess board.
“You're white and I'm black, how?” ask Aldion to Kenzo.
“Good no problem.” Answer kenzo. He also took the black points and arranged them.
“You first dad.” Kenzo.
A chess game between the son-in-law and the in-laws begins.
While Kenzo and Aldion Rodio are pitted against the chessboard, Alesya and others wait anxiously outside Aldion Rodio's study.
“Uncle, will Kenzo be okay alone with dad in there?” Worry was clearly visible on Alesya's face.
“We pray that your father does not expose all his resentment to Kenzo?” Damian tried to calm Alesya down. He knew that Alesya was very anxious. On one side was her husband and on the other side was her father. It was a difficult choice when he finally had to choose.
“But it's not better if grandfather vents all his frustration on daddy, and after that will accept daddy.” The scale of his likeness is still there.
“Unfortunately we adults are not that simple as Ska,” Damian said. “Fear after your grandfather spouts all his anger on your daddy, it still doesn't end well for your daddy.”
“You'd better go back to Ska.” Pinta Alesya, she doesn't want Scale to see an unworn ending when Kenzo and his grandfather Ska walk out of the room.
“No mommy, I want to be here waiting for daddy and grandpa to come out. Mana knows there's something I can do to help daddy deal with grandpa's anger. Because after all, my grandfather loves me.” Answer Plain scale.
Alesya could only fall silent at Ska's words.
In Alesya's heart said, “She also loves me Ska but right now she still doesn't want to accept Kenzo as my husband and your father even though she knows I love that man.” Aleysa can now only resigned to the circumstances.
Right now the best thing he can do is just pray that his father can forget his frustration with Kenzo and accept Kenzo as his son-in-law.
