It was late afternoon, Refina and Regina looked so happy and satisfied because they could walk in the safari park. Zafira also endlessly reviewed the smile, happy to see his children feel happy. Only, there was a feeling of sadness in Zafira's heart. He was sad, should not his father make his daughters happy by taking them for a walk, but instead, it is precisely the man who does not have any relationship with them who gives what his daughters never receive from a figure named father. The attention, the affection, the time, the happiness, everything they should get from Refano it was Alvian who gave it.
"What's wrong with you, Ra?" asked Alvian who was currently sitting side by side in the front seat of the car. While Regina and Refina sat in the back seat with Bu Mayang.
"Emmm .. thanks, Al. Thanks to you, Regina and Refina are very happy. Again thanks," said Zafira sincerely.
Alvian commented with a faint smile, "if you are .. do you feel happy?" alvian asked while glancing at Zafira who immediately turned to him. Then Alvian's gaze refocused towards the front.
"I was happy when I saw my children happy," Zafira replied with a look of laughter. A flash of memory of his life for 7 years passed. Never have his children felt so happy like this especially when together with others. Her two children's days revolved around home, school, and the mall sometimes. It could not be long and only with himself, without anyone else because even once both Refano and his parents never took a little time to accompany his two daughters.
"Ra, if I may give you some advice, the happiness of your children is important, but you also have to think about your happiness. Rest assured, if you are happy, your children will be happy and it will be easier for you to make them happy because your heart is calm, peaceful, and not depressed."
"Your advice can be too. You're still quite young, but you're pretty wise too!" seloroh Zafira makes Alvian snort.
"Yes, of course, I'm the ideal husband and father" Alvian replied, giving Zafira a chuckle.
"Prospective husband? His wife-to-be is not there yet, how can be a prospective husband, let alone a prospective father," ledek Zafira who can not cover the gel taste.
"Who does not exist yet, there is a kok," replied Alvian casually making the look of Zafira's face turned into curious.
"Well! Was she? But I've never seen you walk with a girl or call a girl."
"Cie, it turns out you secretly noticed me!" seductive Alvian made Zafira roll her eyes.
"GR."
"Udah, ngaku. I'm watching you."
"Who? Where there is," said Zafira.
"That's what, you've come to know that I've never been with the same girl contacted by the girl."
"Why not know, almost all day we are under the same roof, continue if the holidays like this too, you actually spend your day with me and my children, he said, so it's only natural that I know you've never been with a girl."
"Under the same roof?" Alvian gave a smile as he repeated that sentence. I don't know why he was so happy to hear it.
"Yes, we're in the same building, which means we're under the same roof."
"Being under the same roof forever 24 hours is also not a problem."
"meaning?" paro Zafira was confused by Alvian's ambiguous sentence.
"Yes under the same roof forever 24 hours, in the office and at home, so family, I'm willing. Even with pleasure." He said earnestly but Zafira was still confused to digest the sentence.
"meaning?"
"You asked me, I have a wife, I'm serious. My future wife is right on my left. And if he's willing, I want to be under the same roof forever, so a family, complete and guarding each other until only death can separate us." Obviously Alvian made Zafira growled with her mouth shut. His smart brain instantly froze, unable to digest the strand of words that Alvian had just spoken. The word sounds tantalizing, but at the same time dubious. Although Netra Alvian showed seriousness, but ... is what Alvian said real or just a joke?
"Don't think too much! I don't want to because of my words, your content becomes problematic. But you should know, I'm serious about what I'm saying. I would love to be your husband and father to your children. Maybe for now you're still in doubt, but you don't have to doubt my seriousness because I've never messed with my words." Alvian.
"You don't joke, Al. You think I'd be that easy to believe in those words. If you're serious, it can't happen. We are like the earth and the sky. You deserve better and better than me who is just a poor widow with 2 children and soon growing to 3. While you're a single man, the leader of the company who has everything. I beg you not to throw my wishful thinking when you finally throw it to the bottom of the earth. You know, it's very painful" said Zafira, who was suspicious of what Alvian was saying. It is enough that he feels hurt and hurt because of love and he does not want to repeat it again even with different people.
"Rb ... "
"Eugh .. "the sound of moaning from the back seat makes Alvian who wants to open his mouth again and then close it again.
"Mama, Lefi was thirsty, ma," Refina's great-grandson from the back seat made Zafira rush to pick up the princess's bottle and then open it and give it to Refina.
Alvian sighed, she realized, maybe this is not the right time to express her feelings. No matter what, next time he'll try to convince Zafira to come back. Hopefully by then, Zafira will have opened the door of his heart for him.

These days Refano seems to lack focus in work. His mind was always not calm. The shadows of Zafira and her two daughters always flashed in her mind. Make his days unsettled.
Glanced, the clock has shown at 9 past 15 minutes. Refano picked up the keys and rushed out of his office.
"Mr Refano, where are you going?" tanya Afrizal, the middle-aged man who is Marwan's personal assistant, Refano's father.
"I'm going to go for a second. If you ask me, just say I have a need for a moment" replied Refano who rushed away from his office.
35 Minutes later, Refano arrived somewhere. A place where he thinks he can find someone who often makes him think. Refano rushes out of his car hoping to see someone he unknowingly misses. The figure of a little girl who used to often welcome his return.
Yes, Refano is now at Regina's school. Somehow, Refano was eager to meet the little girl. Not long after, it appears that the children came out of their respective classes scattered out. Some approached his parents who picked up, some rushed to go to the pickup car provided by the school until Refano finally caught the whereabouts of the little girl he was waiting for.
"Regina," cried Refano calling the little girl. Regina who felt her name was called immediately turned to the source of the voice. His forehead creased, not believing what he saw.
"Regina," called Refano again as he stood before the sculpting Regina. "Hey, how are you quiet? This is papa" he added but Regina still sculpt. Even the look in his eyes looked flat and cold, leaving Refano stunned. There was no more cheerful smile on the little girl's face.
Just as Refano wanted to touch Regina's shoulder, Regina actually rewinded her steps. Refano was again stunned as Regina avoided him.
"Hey, is this papa? Why are you avoiding, hm?" asked Refano who was still unconscious.
"Papa?" regina Beo.
"Yes, it's papa. Masa' Regina has forgotten the same papa."
"Does Regi have papa? The feeling of the Regi has no papa. It's wrong people times. The people of Regi have no papa. They say Regi is an orphan. Regi go home first, Om. I've been waiting for the driver," replied Regina flat making Refano's tongue suddenly confused. There was a sense that he could not define in his chest, it was painful, very painful. His daughter ... doesn't admit it.
