After dinner with the Father, we continued our journey.


About half an hour we reach my school.


"Sir, my house is still a bit far from this school. Gapapa, right?" ask the Father.


"Ooh, gapapa neng. As long as you reach home safely you are also happy." replied the Father with a smile.


Aahhh, it is true that sometimes the kindness always comes unexpectedly in the most difficult times.


I smiled when I got to the front of the house.


"Sir, wait, I took my wallet inside the house" I replied as I opened the taxi door.


"Neng, don't." replied the father.


"Eh, not sir. At least money to fill BBM. Far away sir." I replied insistent.


Smile on my father's face. Aahhh, the smile of a father to his daughter.


I ran inside, but for a moment I stopped, thought a little and walked back to the taxi.


"Sir, get down first. You rest for a while. I make a drink for Father." I said while opening the door for the Father.


"Don't bother Neng." replied the Father.


"No bother sir. Come.." already holding the Father's arm.


The father smiled and immediately came down and followed me to the front of the house.


I let the Father sit in the front seat while I went into making drinks and at the same time took money for the Father.


"Ke, why come home this evening? was it the same Jody? how to take a taxi?" aunt said when she saw me coming home alone.


"Eh, Auntie. Sorry Keke came home late. There was a little problem before Bi so I went home in a taxi." I replied.


"Eh, did you know Indra? uh who is it?" aunty said.


"Andra?" my answer.


"Yes Andra. You said it was important."


"Oh, yes Bi. Soon if it's important, Andra will be back."


"Bi, Keke wants to make a drink first for the Father. Poor thing he got Keke here."


"Yes, Ke." And Auntie went into her room.

While Jody and Sky are still confused there.


Jody picked up her phone and started calling.


"Ndra, can you go back to Meiske's house? Please!" half forced.


There was a short answer from Andra and Jody to turn off the phone.


"Did Ke know about this?" Jody opened the conversation with Sky.


Sky nodded but his eyes did not escape the wheel of the car.


"Huhuhh..Worth it!" Jody let out a heavy breath.


"When do you know about this?" again Jody asked.


"Since my Mama remarried I know about you!" stay unmoved.


"Lantas, do you know my closeness to Meiske?" slightly raise the voice.


Seen, Sky turned his head with an angry look.


"Yes, I know! but I loved Meiake more than you!" a little emphasis on the last sentence.


"Love in that way?" increasingly showing apathy in the emphasis of his speech.


"Never judge me with such a sentence!" it's been a little growling with his hands already squeezing the steering wheel of his car.


"Judge? who is judging? by making Meiske suffer? is that your love for her? by traumatizing him? that it?"


Sky looks like it's growling. There was a rumbling of his teeth that met with fists that were getting stronger gripping the steering wheel of the car.


"I love in my own way!" sky replied after a while of controlling his anger.


" Hmmm...Your way? wow, amazing!" applause from Jody.


Sky turned to look at Jody with a pushy look like he was about to eat her.


Sky removed the handle at the wheel of his car, then pointed both his hands towards Jody's shirt.


"You don't know anything about me. So, don't ever judge me! Besides, Meiske has forgiven my actions!" slightly raise the tip of his eyebrows.


Jody was slightly stunned by Sky's words. Meiske has forgiven? since when? did they meet? questions have filled Jody's head.


Suddenly....


Krrieggggg......


The sound of the Jody phone. Sky took off the collar of a rough Jody shirt and focused on Jody's phone.


Jody took her phone and accepted it.


"Ndra, how?" ask Jody.


The reply from Andra made Jody slightly smile in relief, and the reaction that Jody showed made Sky immediately restart the engine of his car and then immediately drove away.


Arriving at Sky's apartment suddenly, Sky stopped his car.


Jody looked towards Sky.


"Wear your own car." Sky said briefly and Jody finally got out of the car.


Not waiting much longer. After Jody got out, without waiting for Jody to get to her car, Sky had already preceded Jody.


Half-running Jody headed to her door, opened the car door and quickly ran her car to Meiske's house.

Meiske had brought a tray of drinks and a little snack.


"Sir, here's the drink." It's been put on the table.


"Neng don't bother" said the father.


"Father also daritadi bothered with Meiske. Oh yes, my name is Meiske sir."


" Panji. the name of Mr. Panji." replied the Father with a smile and had taken the drink served.


After drinking the drink, the Father was about to stand up to leave immediately.


"Sir." I said as I reached out and gave the Father some money.


"Sir, don't you!" reject the Father by holding my hand and pushing a little.


"Don't Sir. Far away from there." I said again.


The father smiled again.


"Sincere father! let's just say you're taking your daughter home." The answer from the Father made me really moved.


"Alright Sir. But, take a little for your gasoline. Kan, nganterin his son needs gasoline too right." I replied with a smile.


The Father finally took the money, then divided the 2 money and half He gave it back to me.


"Just like this, son." Has called me a child.


"Thank you Sir!" that's all I can answer.


"For your son, just say thank you for making you happy" said the Father again.


Oh my God, what a marvelous miracle I have today. Got someone new to know but with great kindness. A fatherly figure that really made me shed tears.


I drove him to his car, opened the door and then closed it when he was in the car.


"Be careful, sir! Walk don't speed ya." with a smile I waved my hand at him.


"Yes Nak. Thanks back. You will be careful." he replied then had started his car and then drove his car slowly.


I looked towards the car while in my heart filled with infinite gratitude.


I drove him through my eyes until the father's car was nowhere to be seen.


In my heart I always say Thank you Sir, you really are like a helper angel to me.


After the Father passed and was not seen again, I immediately set foot into the house.


"To..!" a voice called to me.


I looked over, and I saw Andra was behind me with his bike.


I turned around to ask, but Andra had already picked up her phone and called someone.


All I heard was, Keke was at his house..
