CARINA
Twenty-five

Karin was still struggling to drag the two items. Until a hand seizes the thing that makes it difficult. Karin looked over, and ....

"Let Papa help, son."

"No need, I can do it myself, excuse me!"

Papa Rudi did not want to obey his son said, he still held the object and looked at the girl's eyes. In the heart of papa Rudi muttered, "is that what you hate the same Papa, Son?" His mind was crying, a tone of rejection like an arrow that shot right into the heart, sick, very sick. However, Papa Rudi still has to accept.

Papa Rudi could only stare at the back of his beloved son from a distance, then disappear behind the iron door. Even Karin did not turn around when she entered the box-shaped room.

Waiting for dinner. The cute girl dimpled cheeks just lying down while playing her smart phone. She has taken a shower, and has also dressed up. Not the menor, just to look fresh. Suitcases and large bags have returned to the master, in the elevator earlier, Karin met one of the hotel staff. So, he asked her to hand the items over to Thomas.

On the other hand, Dio again chatted with papa Rudi. The man full of charm continues to entertain the prospective father-in-law so as not to be sad anymore. To be honest, every time he met the old man, there was nothing Dio felt but pity. Yes, even if he was in that position, he would definitely be very injured.

The first time they met was when Dio searched for Karin's whereabouts first. When he didn't find the girl at the hostel Tiffany showed him, he wasn't at his friends' house either. Before following to the city of mango, he had to go to Antara's house. There he meets only papa Rudi and a few domestic assistants, which is why Dio does not recognize Tristan as his girlfriend's half-sister.

"You know, son. Karin really likes princess, that's why when you say you want to propose to her, Om suggests Cinderella dress for her to wear. You saw for yourself, right, she's very pretty in that dress." Indeed, even though a smile was displayed, it did not cover the pain so reflected in the eyes of the surrounding already wrinkled it.

"She's a cheerful, spoiled and vocal girl. However, since the departure of his mother, he changed drastically," he continued. The eyes again showed a smile.

"I promise, Om. Will always try to bring you closer, I just ask Om to be patient. But, um, can I ask you a question?"

"Ask, son."

"Why can Mama Karin go? Does Om really not know the reason behind it?" Dio stared at papa Rudi intensely.

Papa Rudi leaned back his body, looking up at the dark sky without the light of the moon and the shining stars. He then inhaled it in and threw it away.

"It's gonna be really long, son!"

Dio's phone rang, his girlfriend sent a short message. Inevitably, he had to end this conversation, and immediately meet Karin. Otherwise, the girl could suspect that the papa was here because he invited her. But he should have guessed.

"Om, looks like our chat got here first. We'll call after dinner." Papa Rudi nodded.

Dio moved from his seat and towards the shrine. He holds Karin's spare room key, so he can enter at any time. Without waiting for his beloved to open the door. Mostly he bothered to find a moment so that not suspected by many people.

In another room, the room Thomas was in, he looked busy with a book like a diary. Pretty surprising, yeah. International-level models still write diaries so. But let it be, everyone has their own way of telling stories. Some go through writing, pictures, even tones.

Dio was already in his lover's room, he was stomping Karin's feet. Thomas was quite successful in making it a lot of walking today.

"I feel like my leg is about to break tofu. Tired!" Spoiled whine. Dio just smiled, while continuing to massage his girlfriend's legs slowly.

"Thank you sports, baby! It's dinner time, you go to the restaurant first, yeah. I'll be followed."

Everyone gathered, including Thomas. As usual, the man would definitely choose the seat closest to Karin.

"I have a secret, you want to hear?" thomas whispered to Karin. But that girl is not gubris. "Well, if you don't listen, you'll regret it" he continued.

"Whatever!" answer Karin ketus.

"Good night everyone." The expected ones come too. The marketing manager, adored many girls. However, only Karin is able to destroy her heart and feelings.

"Good night, sir," replied all kindly. With the exception of Karin, her face was flat. He just nodded as a sign of respect.

"Why haven't you eaten yet?" ask Dio.

"Waiting for you" replied one of the staff.

"Now that I'm here, let's get the food."

All ate voraciously, occasionally interspersed with guyonan thrown at each other several people.

"You challenge me, baby! And you're a parent, smart too. Utilizing a man who doesn't know anything to get close to me," Karin's mind glanced at her lover, then her papa.

Karin finished her dinner, leaving a big question mark on everyone there. Because, Karin slammed the cutlery she held very hard. He was cheerful before, he talked a lot. Only occasionally grimaced at the annoyance of Thomas. If it wasn't a thick plate, it might have broken because of it.

The morning was made uninspired because of the presence of the papa that he so hated. He did not even eat breakfast, because he knew that Papa Rudi must have eaten there. Because the filming time was still quite long, and he also did not want to see his father, finished bathing he returned to bed.

He saw an old photo of his mother. "Well, Karin's missing!"

A thread of warm water flowed down his cheeks, leaving a trace of redness in his shoulder eyes. Karin closed her eyes, trying to recall the happy moment they had passed together. Although it will not be repeated, at least it can be a longing antidote.

A knock on the door awakened him from the shadows of the past. Karin got up from her bed, approaching a small hole in the middle of the door. He squinted one eye, looking at who was behind the door.

Papa Rudi's face was there. Karin opened the door wide, both of them silent for a moment.

"Papa just wants to see you, make sure that Papa's daughter is okay. Papa will go straight home now, take care of yourself! Don't blame Dio, Papa for forcing me to come here." Papa Rudi then left after meeting his daughter briefly.

"I'm sorry, Dad!"

For the umpteenth time, the old man left feeling disappointed.
