A few moments before,
"Where are you going, Ed? Neat bener. Don't you usually work on Saturdays?" fawning Edgar's mother upon seeing Edgar has but with navy blue shirts and gray material pants. Not to forget the tie patterned black gray stripes, making Edgar look more authoritative. Then Edgar put on the best suit to perfect his performance.
"You go to the Princess' school, Ma," Edgar replied casually while wearing a watch on his left wrist.
"Daughter?" it was Beo Edgar's mother who did not know who the Princess was.
"Hmmm ... Daughter, she's the girl I like, Ma. The princess is only 5 years old. He is very funny," said Edgar while moping a smile considering the funny and innocent face of the Princess.
"W-what did you say, Ed? The daughter you like? So she's .. a widow?" tekik mother Edgar who was really surprised about the fact that the woman who liked the eldest child.
Edgar looked at the mother and shook his head, causing Edgar's mother to frown, feeling confused.
"She .. is not a widow, ma."
"meaning? If not a widow? Oh, the Princess is his adopted daughter, is that it?"
Edgar shook his head again, "The daughter is his biological son, Ma. But ... child results out of wedlock. Flowers have never been married before" I'm Edgar honest. He does not want anything covered up from his parents that can actually backfire in the future.
Edgar's mother squeezed his chest. His legs suddenly weakened and almost fell if not denied Edgar.
"Mom, mama, don't you papa?" edgar asked frantically to see his mother's paled face.
"You crazy, Ed? You're really not sane. How can you be in a relationship with such a woman? He must have seduced you! She's definitely not a good girl because she's pregnant out of wedlock, is she!" fawning at Edgar's mother with a stern look and a heavy breath.
Edgar clasped his mother's hand and squeezed it slowly and looked into her mother's eyes with a shady look.
"Ma, the flower girl is well, trust Edgar the same. Mama can also ask this to Niko because Edgar knows the Flower from Niko. He's been guarding Niko's counter all this time" Edgar said trying to give understanding to his mother.
"There are no good women who are pregnant and even have children out of wedlock, Ed. Nonexistent. Even if until they make a mistake, they will definitely account for it by getting married and you see, he is not married. Most likely, the man did not want to be responsible because he knew the behavior of the woman. She was not sure of the child she conceived because she was nothing more than a cheap woman. Or have you ever tasted it because you wanted to marry her?" fawning Edgar's mother cynical.
"Ma, I swear by Allah Edgar never did that forbidden act. And Bunga is also not a cheap woman as you think. She's a good girl. Even if he has a child out of wedlock, we can't blame someone for his past. What Edgar believed in was, the flower of a good, strong, and independent woman. Even though she only lives alone with her daughter, Bunga never asks for the mercy of others. She ... is really a tough woman. That's what made Edgar like him" Edgar concluded before leaving his mother.
Because he talked to his mother for too long, he was almost late to come to school.
'Hopefully I'm not late, ' Edgar's inner self while driving his car at a fairly high speed. His phone on the dashboard sounded loud. He knew it was a call from the flower. Flowers must be worried. Edgar also increased the speed of his car to immediately arrive at the school Princess.

Seeing the whereabouts of Nathan who was carrying the Princess suddenly made Flowers widen his eyes. His heart was pounding violently, 'did Nathan already know that the Princess was his daughter?' inner Flower monologue.
Flowers rushed and took the Princess from Nathan's sling, making the man freeze and fixate. His brain was still unable to digest the situation he was experiencing right now.
Seeing the look on Flower's face that looked panicked and immediately wanted to take the Princess away from him made Nathan begin to put together the puzzle pieces in his mind. Until one conclusion he came up with.
"Flower, stop!" nathan said with a slightly hardened voice. The situation of the school that is holding the event makes them unable to talk normally because it will certainly not be heard clearly.
Bunga wanted to ignore it, but the Princess actually called Nathan with the name 'Good Om' to make his heart hit by excitement.
"Om good?" parrot Flower with a wrinkled forehead.
"Om good, come here! Let's go see Princess! In a moment the Princess will be performing," called the Princess as she waved at Nathan.
Nathan rushed closer.
Just now Nathan was about to take the Princess, but Bunga dodged it.
"Flower, enough! You listen, Princess wants me to come! Wh why? Are you afraid she knows who I am? When are you gonna cover this up? Don't be selfish! We better follow the wishes of the Princess, then we will discuss what we should discuss," Nathan said firmly making the chest of the Flower immediately rumble. He can no longer control his emotions. Anything related to the Princess is always able to drain her emotions.
"What's? I'm selfish? Is it not wrong, Mr Nathan Wiryatama? I'm not covering anything up. Aren't you the one who refused to believe in her existence from the very beginning?" cynical Flower with a face that is already red.
The still faithful Edgar stood beside the Flower trying to digest the situation . Until he finally drew a conclusion.
'Is he the father of the Princess?'
"Flower, please! Now is not the right time to talk about that. Don't make the Princess' mood worse because of her parents' quarrels," asserted Nathan who successfully made the flower mute.
"Daughter, come with papa! Papa accompany you inside" Nathan said as he stretched out his hands.
"Papa?" the Princess who was still in confusion.
"Yes, kid. This is .. this is papa. Papa is back. Sorry, papa just came and sorry papa just found out that the Princess is a papa child," said Nathan Lirih make the Princess's netra rounded and look adorable.
"What is that, ma? Om good really papa Princess?" The princess asked the Flower demanding an explanation.
"Put, yes ... "
"You've closed it enough, Nga. The princess has a right to know who her father is. I know, I was wrong. But Princess? He's not wrong at all. I know, my fault may be unforgivable, but .. Let me be his father. Don't separate us, Nga! I beg!" melas Nathan with glazed netra.
"Papa," said the Princess at last. Flowers closed her eyes. His eyes are foggy. The clear thread was shed without being asked.
The princess immediately shuffled to be taken down from the sling of Flowers and she immediately rushed into Nathan's arms. Nathan sobbed while hugging the little Princess' body.
Shortly thereafter, the Princess' name was called. Proudly, Nathan carried the Princess and ushered her on stage. His eyes stared in wonder at the Princess. With full confidence, he began to describe a poem that turned out to be the title is Dad. After reciting the poem, the Princess rushed down while running to Nathan as if she was afraid of being abandoned by her father.
"Papa, don't go again! Don't leave the Princess again!" princess Lirih as she re-entered Nathan's arms.
