FATHER AND SON

Plaque! Plaque!

"Papa never taught you to hurt women! What else do such a thing! Are you out of your mind, Dave?!" Arnold said with a flushed face full of anger. He did not expect his son to do anything shameful.

"Pa, I'm wrong. That night I got drunk and went into the wrong room. And it happened ...."

"Then?"

David let out a deep sigh and told what had happened between him and Liliana.

"I love him, Pa. For the first time in my life, I fell in love. And that to Liliana. I don't know what I was thinking. At first, I felt that I was drunk, but it turned out that I felt unwilling every time I saw him with another man, even if only escorted home or lunch in the cafeteria together."

Arnold let out a deep sigh, he felt more and more confident that his son was not in trouble. The child in Liliana's womb is her flesh and blood.

"Let's keep this secret, then, Dave. There's something papa's thinking about. Better not let anyone know about this. If that were the case, you would have to marry Liliana. That child, the baby in Liliana's womb, Papa was sure it was your child."

"But, Pa, the results of that examination-"

"So far you still want to trust Nadine? Dave, did you forget what papa said when you were married?"

David was silent, he confirmed everything Arnold said. He didn't want to be open to Arnold. My father always told me if there was a problem in his family.

"Sorry, Pa. Honestly, I've been trying to be a good husband."

"Papa did marry you two, but, if in the middle you have another woman for you to love, you can divorce Nadine well. But, with this incident, papa believes Sanjaya has a plan supported by Nadine. It's not time for you to know what's going on between papa and Sanjaya. What is clear is that right now you have to be careful and just pretend to be innocent."

David sighed deeply and looked at the father.

"Okay, so papa agreed I married Liliana?"

With a quick movement, Arnold struck David in the nape and punched his son in the shoulder.

"You still ask? You have to take responsibility for what you've done to Liliana. It's good to still ask. Your mom must be at Liliana's apartment right now. You buy a ring for the girl and apply for her. After that, we will go to Bandung to formally propose to her parents."

"Okay, boss," David replied with a grimace.

"What are you waiting for? Go, let papa's office handle it. You should also immediately find Liliana's replacement Secretary. Let it be papa. We need people who can be trusted."

David just sighed, to this day what Arnold did to Sanjaya is still a question mark. The same is true of his mother who was never friendly to the besan.

"I'm leaving then, Pa," said David, grabbing his car keys and passing from his room. The dashing man intends to go to the jewelry store before going to Liliana's apartment. He didn't realize when he came out of his room there was someone who had stolen all his talk and Arnold.
