"What! your parents are alumni of that university too? Well ... it might be the same age," surprised Stephanus. "After graduating from college I went straight to Jakarta, because what occurred to me at that time I had to work."
"I was in Jakarta for a long time and when I returned to Yogyakarta to go to the rented place, it turns out my best friend has not lived in the rented again" said Stephanus.
"Especially in the past there was no cellphone, so until now I have never met again. Frankly, my best friend Alfary Wibowo's name."
Deg ...
Devano was immediately shocked to hear his president mention the name Alfary Wibowo. A familiar name in Devano's ears.
"Eh, what's the name of my late father? Is Mr Stephan's best friend my father? or just the same name. Add the same name now. When I was in college, the name Devano there were some people not only me the owner of the name Devano, "devano mind who kept thinking.
"But why am I so curious?" Devano wanted to ask his president again about his best friend.
"Perhaps you still remember, how the characteristics of the Father's friend?" ask Devano.
"I told you before that his face looks like you, only I he has a birthmark on his neck. I also don't have a picture of him, because at that time the smart phone still didn't exist."
Again and again, Devano gasped in shock at the words of his president. His father also had a birthmark on his neck as Stephanus said. Did Stephanus mean his best friend was Devano's father?
Devano then reached into his cell phone from his pants pocket. He went straight to the album application and intended to show a photo in which there are photos of his parents and also himself and his two younger siblings.
The photo where Devano is still around 11 years old and still sits in 5th grade SD. The photo where after one later his father left them while Devano was sitting in 6th grade Elementary.
"Sorry sir, is your friend the same person in this photo?" devano asked as he brought his phone closer to Stephanus.
Instantly Stephanus rounded his eyes to see the photo Devano showed. "Am I dreaming? This is my best friend Alfary Wibowo!"
Stephanus's gaze was fixed on Devano in front of him. "Are you Alfary Wibowo's son?" stephanus asked with a slightly trembling mouth.
"Yes, this is a picture of my family. My father's name is Alfary Wibowo, it's a photo of a year before my father died" Devano replied.
Stephanus immediately drew closer and scattered his body hugging Devano. He did not expect him to be met with the child of his best friend. Devano looked a little surprised to see his president hugging him, but seconds later he returned Stephanus' embrace.
"Thank you God. For years I have been looking for the whereabouts of my best friend and finally found even with his son," Stephanus said in tears.
Then Stephanus took off his embrace after feeling Devano somewhat claustrophobic by his tight embrace. Then his hand stretched out to hold both of Devano's shoulders.
"Devano I really did not expect, I don't know what dream I had last night. Eventually I was met by his descendants, although not directly met with your father," said Stephanus. "I can at least say a big thank you to my best friend through his son."
"I'm sorry about your father's passing. I did not expect a good man like him, quickly called by God to face His presence," said Stephanus sadly.
Devano's father was the most valuable person in his life. After graduating from college, Stephanus was forced to go to Jakarta for work. He did not have time to say goodbye and thanked his late father Devano.
"Square."
Suddenly the door of the President's room was wide open. "Dady .." shouted a girl who had slipped into the room.
"Ups .. sorry!" keisha said, covering her mouth with both hands. "But there's no guest, it turns out that Dady is talking to someone."
Stephanus who saw his daughter immediately wiped away the tears in his eyes. "Keisha, dear ... Tumben came without papa's phone first?" stephanus asked as he called his daughter who appeared to be pecking in the middle of the road.
Keisha approached his father in a polite manner. "Keisha has called Dady several times, but not picked up. Then Keisha called Lucky, she said Dady was in the office. So Keisha came straight here" said Keisha smiling sweetly.
"At the front there is also no Lucky mas, so Keisha just went in. Sorry Dad, Keisha knows this is wrong" Keisha said apologizing for feeling guilty.
"Oh, so the man on the outside is called Lucky," Devano's inner.
"I'm sorry, huh?" stephanus said to his daughter.
"Ih ... Dady, I'm sorry well," woo Keisha with a spoiled tangle.
"Yes, it's okay, baby. But do not repeat again, at least before entering knock on the door first and then include with greetings," his father scolded subtly.
"Ok, Dad."
While Devano only noticed the familiarity of his father and daughter who were in front of him.
"Oh well sir Devan, this is Keisha my most beautiful and spoiled daughter," said Stephanus introducing his daughter.
Keisha only frowned when he heard the spoiled word that came out from his father's mouth. "Dady ...."
Devano raised and placed both hands in front of his chest while bowing his head slightly. "I'm Devano ...."
Keisha also nodded her head with a smile. "Keisha ...."
"Lumayan is also a handsome employee of dady, a rich Korean artist. Uh, what's her name well .. Oh Keisha forgot!" inward Keisha remembered the name of one of the Korean artists who was similar to Devano.
"But, still handsome brother Nuel deh .. "he continued to compare Devano with his upperclassmen at High School time, which at that time he idolized.
This was the second time Devano had seen his president's daughter, the first two days ago when he met at the expo.
Keisha does look very beautiful with her dense black hair and small lips, so when she smiles she is so sweet. Keisha does look like a spoiled girl, precisely a spoiled child when talking to his papa.
"What wind brought my beautiful daughter here?" stephanus looked at his daughter.
"Indeed, Keisha can't come to Dady's office. Keisha is not the same as Dady," Keisha said in a spoiled voice as she stroked her father's shoulder.
"Ehem, ahem. Usually if you are sweet cake gini must have wanted. Here's where I crossed Dady must sign," said Stephanus who guessed the child's intent.
"Hehehe, Dady is so smart." Keisha immediately took the proposal and crossed it from his bag.
"This is not clear, the timing of the committee determines the value of the donation" Stephanus said before signing his signature.
"Udah Dady has signed. Keisha wants to go back to college, meet up."
"Yeahh .. thank you, Mr. good director and philanthropist. May the Lord reward him with a multiplying fortune. Amen!" said Keisha while taking the kwadri which had been signed by his father.
"Yes, Keisha wants to go back to college. Thank you, Dady," said Keisha, kissing her father's cheek and leaving the room with a happy smile.
"Be careful on the road!" shouted Stephanus who was immediately returned with a smile by Keisha.
Devano who saw the scene of the child and his papa could only smile. Behind her smile was her longing for her late father.
