The Price of Sainthood
Father and Son Talk

The existence of Dante seems to be quite powerful to repel the sadness that Alisha feels. The girl looks better than ever. After successfully making Alisha laugh, Dante then drove Wanda's daughter back to her contract.

The next day Alisha decided to return to take the cake order. Unusual continues to fall in disappointment. It costs money for their survival. Fuck Narendra who claims to be papa. Toh Alisha intends not to accept anything given by Narendra.

Wanda who was standing in the kitchen doorway was only stunned sadly looking at her daughter who was busy making cake dough. It had been days since that incident, Alisha became a change of attitude. The girl was more moody and daydreaming. His eyes that always showed cheerfulness now showed flashes of anger.

Many times Alisha refused to meet Narendra. He always dodged at all costs whenever the man arrived. As a result, Wanda could only ask Narendra to be patient and convince Narendra to persuade his daughter slowly.

Despite it all, tucked in gratitude in Wanda's heart, at least her daughter did not vent her anger brutally. Although a little change in Alisha's attitude was interfering with their communication.

"Alisha," call Wanda as she approaches.

Alisha turned her head, then returned her mother's call politely. "Yes, Mom. What's up?"

Wanda reviewed a faint smile while sitting on the ceramic floor taking place right by her daughter's side. "Are you still angry?"

"At whom?" Before answering her, Alisha first confirmed her mother's question.

"Papa."

Alisha immediately snorted as the name 'papa' was thrown from Wanda's lips.

"Enough, Mom! He's not my papa!" cynical Alisha without looking at Wanda.

"You want to dodge like whatever Narendra's blood has run through your body, son. You can't deny that."

"Whatever Mom says. But I don't need him. There's only Mom beside me that's more than anything. If you want to return the same to her, she will reverse it. But to me he's nobody." Alisha hates Narendra. However, he did not want to be selfish by inviting his mother to avoid the man as well. Although he himself is not sure if Wanda can really forgive Narendra.

"Malisa ...." Wanda grabbed Alisha's left hand and held it gently. He wanted to advise his daughter slowly. "Mother already has no sense of anything towards Narendra. We were separated a long time ago. There is no reason to reverse it. But ...." Wanda said the word 'but' with great emphasis.

Alisha looked at her mother fixedly, waiting for the woman to continue the conversation.

"It's different if the business concerns you, son. He's your papa. He has the right to take care of you and give you a decent living. Don't be an ungodly child by rejecting his presence."

"Durhaka?" Alisha repeated one word of Wanda's sentence in a dismissive tone. "Alisha's whole life has never felt his affection, how can it be ungodly, Mother? There is also him who dzolim against his wife and child. Never existed since I was still in the womb suddenly claimed that when I grew up. Absolutely not capital," snorted Alisha.

"But he wants to make amends, son. At the very least, give him a chance," persuaded Wanda again.

Alisha looked in wonder at Wanda. "Mom, why do you insist on apologizing to that guy, anyway? Here was the most aggrieved Mother with him! The mother he had made suffer for twenty years! I should have been vengeful, not forgiving!"

"Alisha." Wanda admonished her daughter who was currently urinating. "Had Mother told you, it's not your father's fault entirely. I'm also involved in this."

Wanda was silent for a moment with a distant look. He finally began to tell how his separation with Narendra had begun.

Love can come to anyone and at any time. No matter how poor and rich. Similarly, young Narendra decided to drop his heart on a simple girl named Wanda.

Apparently their love journey is not as smooth as the expectations of both. Narendra's parents who came from a noble family did not give his son's blessing of love. Narendra himself is a stubborn type of young man. He does not hesitate to resist when he feels he is on the right path.

A big decision he made. Narendra secretly marries Wanda without her parents' consent.

If someone keeps a carcass, in the end, a bad smell will be smelled too. So is the marriage as powerful as Narendra's power to hide. Eventually, he was also known by his parents.

With her powers, Alisha's grandparents managed to separate Narendra from Wanda. A girl they had even prepared as a substitute matchmaker for Narendra.

At that time Narendra could do nothing. He was forced to remarry under the threat of both parents. No kidding, the threat is the life of Wanda, his wife.

Narendra did not do so without consideration. He secretly made a plan. Put up a retreat tactic to fight back. Later he will take Wanda away and live happily away from his rich family.

However, unfortunately what happened was just beyond Narendra's calculations. When he returned to Wanda's residence, his wife was no longer in his place. There were even rumors that Wanda had died.

Despite feeling some awkwardness, Narendra happily accepts the birth of his daughter and devotes all of his affection to Lara.

Alisha ran a small drizzle that afternoon flushed Jakarta. Arriving at a cafe, he rushed in and looked for a seat. He immediately ordered hot coffee to just remind the body.

Before long, a waiter came and brought his order. Alisha thanked him before the waitress left.

Alisha enjoys her coffee while occasionally turning her gaze to the entrance of the cafe. He sighed softly because the person who invited him to meet had not yet come.

"Basic. Can't appreciate others. Is this his favorite? Make others wait for him without certainty!" He muttered in annoyance while stirring his coffee which was still half a part. A heavy voice greeted him from the right.

"Alisha."

The girl who initially looked down looked up. The beautiful face stared lazily at the figure who was now sitting taking a position opposite him.

"It's been a long time?" The man asked so kindly. Even a happy smile never left his lips.

"Lumayan," replied Alisha. "But there's not a little bit of the time you've missed for my mother" he continued with a cynical smile.

"Pardon Papa for that, Alisha."

Yes, Alisha agreed to meet with Narendra at Wanda's persuasion. He was tired of refusing until he finally gave up and agreed to meet face to face as long as it was not rented.

"Don't apologize to me! We have nothing to do, yes! Sana, apologize to my mother!"

The man full of authority replied. "Papa did, Al."

Narendra smiled bitterly at Alisha's response to her. He knew his daughter was a gentle girl. Alisha is not that rough. Alisha has a noble heart. Because of himself the attitude of the princess so drastically changed to him.

"Originally you know, yes! Sorry not enough!"

"You know, honey. Papa must make amends. So please open Alisha's heart to forgive Papa and give her a chance to make amends."

"Not call me darling!" I don't know why Alisha was so uncomfortable with the call.

"But you are Papa's favorite."

"Curtain!" Alisha grieving. However, it did not affect Narendra's feelings. The man smiled, then grabbed Alisha's hand that was clenched on the table and then stroked full of tenderness.

"Alisha, maybe you won't believe me if you keep trying to find you."

Alisha speechless. His eyes looked at Narendra's hand clasping his fist. Actually he felt sick and wanted to release immediately. However, he had promised Wanda to try to be kind to the person who he said was his father. So now he's trying to refrain from going bad.

"There's no need to explain anymore, Alisha certainly already really understands how Papa feels, right? Before this, we met and told stories almost every day. Papa was very honest about Papa's feelings even though at that time he did not know that Alisha was Papa's son. Alisha must know that the wife is the inner contact of the parents with her child, right?"

Narendra paused his speech to see Alisha's reaction. Then continue with a word of faith.

"That's us. How far is the distance. But Papa can feel we have a relationship even if only in one look."

Narendra's sincere words were apparently able to melt Alisha's heart. The girl secretly allowed every word of her papa. How can he feel comfortable when they are close together. How can he be amazed at a new stranger.

Who would have thought if the person Narendra had been talking about was Alisha and Wanda.

However, before the two resumed the sweet conversation between father and son, a shocking voice from the outside sounded angry and loud.

"Owh, so here's how you're doing behind my back!"
