Just now that Mr. Malik set foot in his luxurious residence, it turns out he has a guest. Tia with her daughter, the 4-year-old Princess.
"Tia?"
"Dad."
Tia rushed over to Mr. Malik and shook hands with him. So does the little princess, she imitates whatever Tia does.
"You're getting prettier, Put," said Mr. Malik as he stroked the top of his head gently.
"Thank you, Opa."
"Dad, there's something I want to talk to you about" Tia said with a serious face looking at Mr. Malik.
"We'd better talk inside."
Mr. Malik invites Tia and the Princess into his house and invites them to sit on the sofa of the main room.
"What's the matter, Tia?" asked Mr. Malik while dropping himself on the sofa.
"Dad. I hear you're getting married again soon. Is that true?" tia asked with a sharp gaze fixed on Mr. Malik.
Mr. Malik took a deep breath and smiled at his late wife's adopted son. "Yes, Tia. I'll be married soon."
"What! S-so the gossip is true?!" screeched Tia stammeringly. His eyes were round, he was so shocked to hear his adoptive father's confession just now.
"Yes, that's right."
"Dad, I don't think, Mom just died and even ate Mom just not dry. However, here you have planned a wedding with another woman. Don't you think about what people are going to say, Dad!" tia protest.
Tia snorted in annoyance then resumed her question. "Who is that woman?"
"Tia, it's actually not what you imagined. This marriage-" Not yet finished Mr. Malik spoke, Tia had interrupted his words.
"I asked, who is that woman?" firmly Tia while looking at Mr. Malik's face seriously.
"Yes, God!" Tia rubbed her head violently. He really did not expect that it turned out that his adoptive father's new wife was one of the employees who worked in the boutique.
"Why, it suddenly occurred to me that Dad and the woman had been in a relationship before Mom died" Tia chirped with great curiosity.
"Yes God. Tia, enough!" firmly Mr. Malik. This was the first time the man had argued with his late wife's adopted son.
"Don't ever think nothing of me and Arini. You have no idea what the real story behind this marriage is. Arini and I were forced to agree because this was the last request from your late mother, Tia."
Mr. Malik tried to convince Tia. However, it seems like it was just a waste. The woman did not seem to believe the explanation that came out of Mr. Malik's lips. He remains convinced that between Mr. Malik and Arini was indeed a special relationship, even before the late Mrs Arniz died.
"I'm sorry, Dad. But I don't believe it" Tia said, not to lose.
Mr. Malik took a deep breath and then took it back out. "Believe it or not, I don't think it's any of my business. The important thing is that I have told you the truth" said Mr. Malik.
"Dad, I'm sorry if you think I'm so presumptuous. But, if you still insist on getting married in the near future, I ask the boutique Zhanita Collection to let me hold it. I do not want the effort that has been pioneered by Mother since zero to fall into the hands of others," said Tia with a serious face looking at Mr. Malik.
Mr. Malik exhaled heavily while twitching his head. He understood what Tia had just said. Tia does not want the business pioneered by Mrs Arniz since she was single, must fall into the hands of Arini who incidentally is no one. While Tia has a blood relationship with Mrs Arniz.
"Well if that's what you want, Tia. Anyway I don't have any rights to that boutique. Because the boutique belongs entirely to the late Arniz."
After hearing Mr. Malik's reply, Tia felt calmer. He got up from his sitting position and then slowly pulled the hand of the Princess, his daughter who had been sitting next to him while playing a mobile phone.
"We'd better go home, Princess. After all we can not linger because Oma is not here anymore," Tia told the Princess.
"Why did Mommy say that? There is still an Opa here. Right, Opa?" protest the little Princess while smiling at Mr. Malik.
"Yes, you're right, honey. You can visit Opa here, whenever you want," said Mr. Malik while returning the Princess' smile.
"Come, we're home!" take Tia who then leads the Princess with her, out of the mansion. Mr. Malik could only watch those walking away from him. Mr. Malik waved at the Princess who had been smiling at him ever since.
