"Relax, don't be so uptight." Damian pulled me over who might know my nervousness.
Sweat was falling around my forehead. I'm nervous. How not? This is for the first time in a long time!
"Ck, are you still a long time? My feet are already creaking." The man with Jochia in his cradle, started to complain.
My frustration began to attack me. I'm confused, on the other hand I'm still not ready to meet that person, but on the other hand, I began to feel sorry for Damian and Jochia who had been standing at the door as grand as a person with a lack of work.
Taking a deep breath, I tried hard. "Huh, I'm ready!" seruku sternly looked at Damian.
The man in the casual dress chuckled amusedly at me and kissed the little girl who had been silent since. "Well, now we're in." Damian started to open the door and entered, followed by me from behind.
You are not polite.
Just one step past the entrance, Damian stopped. "You better be careful, as far as I am, he's fierce," he said then passed.
"Damn it! Make me nervous! Relax, Aurora, relax. Do as you normally do. Breathe .. hem—"
"Josi?"
The deg!
That heavy voice rang out in the chest. Makes me aware of thoughts that are trying to calm down.
Adrenaline raced fast, as my eyes collided with the sharp eyes of a lung man, who still had a stocky body, visible from the muscles of his hands that poked behind a plain white shirt.
Instantly my breath was blocked, by the aura of power of the man whose lungs were so thick. However, compared to all that, the feeling of haru and disappointment became a mix that I currently feel.
My sight blurred. Tears suddenly fell just like that, with eyes still staring at the man on the stairs. What was once just a single drop of tears slowly became tens of thousands of tears.
"Aurora Josephine Langdord."
My defense faded instantly upon hearing the mention followed by the softening glare of my eyes. My body slid to the floor. My issues began to sound loud and became when heavy and warm hands clenched me.
"Sorry."
"Dad ...," I shriveled in his arms.
"I don't deserve to be called a father, Josephine. I am a freaking bad fa—"
My chest ached when I heard those words. I don't want to hear it any more clearly. "No, Pa ... " I cut it off immediately.
His hand crept over my head, and rubbed gently there. "Im sorry."
"K–why ba–new, now?" My voice's hoarse.
"I'm sorry, Josi .. I don't deserve to be called a father—"
"Engg—"
"Sttt, let me do the talking."
I only resigned as he continued his words.
"I'm a bad father, even a bad husband. What kind of husband, who sleeps with another woman when her wife has just given birth? Although I'm just a khilaf, but still."
The deg!
So this, the reason you didn't tell me more clearly about Papa? You are a strong woman ma ....
Still with tears in my eyes, I listened to Papa's explanation.
"Your mother left me right then and took you. I just let her go, because I thought, your mother needs time to calm her thoughts and feelings. But, after two months passed when I was about to pick up your mother, the divorce papers first arrived on my desk. I thought at the time, even the office I missed for months. My life is ruined without your mother. Everyone excommunicated me, but not a few encouraged me. To this day, I can finally succeed. However, it doesn't make me happy, compared to seeing you in person, without monitoring from the monitor anymore."
The lung man, or my father, gently wiped the tears that were still falling, even though there were not many.
Still breathy, I asked. "Screen m–monitor?"
"Papa should have met Josi .. although Papa was wrong, but at least Papa's parents Josi, and all of that is past, it's past .. now just fixed, in the future," I explained. I still don't interact with him very often. It was the first time I could talk to a father.
A single tear, fell on his aged face. "He did raise you, Josi." Papa smiled proudly. At least, that's what I saw.

"So this is my grandson, hm?"
Papa looks happy with Jochia. They are also familiar quickly. Currently we are in the living room with a classic interior, but it does not leave a luxurious impression.
"Yes, Genpa! It's Jochia!" The little girl looked very enthusiastic, with her Grandpa.
"Like the name of your mommy," said papa to Jochia who was in his lap. Then he looked at me. "How old is he, Josi?"
"How, Cia?" I asked Jochia. I want more interaction.
"Two, Genpa!"
"Two years, huh? It turned out big. Cia want what from, grandpa?"
Damian and I kept quiet to see the interaction between the two of them. Papa, even though he looks warm, but does not leave a firm impression that seems to be firmly attached, with him.
"Eum, Cia wants some chocolate!"
"Chocolate?" The girl nodded. "Chocolate only? Cia won't, ship? A plane? Isle—"
"No, Pa, don't get used to luxury goods, Josi doesn't want Cia later, so spoiled," I said as I looked at Papa's understanding.
"You're a good mother, Josi." Papa looked at me with pride, making my cheeks heat up.
"Ck, don't ever praise him, he. He'll fly. Just look at her cheeks that are like rotten tomatoes."
The words seemed to tear down my pride. Damn you Damian!
"Say, if you're envious." I stick out my tongue.
"Huh, envy you? Sorry, you're not my level—"
"What did you say?! So you mean, I'm that low?! Huh! The devil really lo, rhyme gelud!" The words I used to use when I was a teenager just came out, and pinched the waist of this selfless man. Damnit damnit! Where's meat?! Why is this all hard?!
"Why, Sweety, hm? Be loud? Not succeed? I told you, you're no match for me," she said, which made me rise in blood.
"Basic gi—"
"Shut up! Aren't you guys ashamed, fighting in front of a kid? Do you want to harass my grandson's brain with harsh words?!"
Silent. Even the sound of saliv gulps was heard, whether it was me or Damian.
"Sorry."
I stared at Damian who was down, and looked a little scared, even though his face was flat.
"What's? Not wrong with horrors? A Damian could be scared too? Can nduk ju—"
"Nurora ...." That heavy, firm voice stopped my words. The atmosphere became more tense. Trying to melt the atmosphere, I cantanker like a horse, if people say. "Hehe, sorry, Pa."
