Husband For Keara
Atonement

Fifteen days passed.

Today is the fifteenth. The date that Mr. Suryo, Keara's biological father would usually come to Harris' office to take his monthly money. Harris wanted to prove the change in attitude of Mr. Suryo who is often told by Keara.

Since Suryo's arrival home and meeting with Keara the other day, Suryo often shows his attention to Keara. The man often contacts Keara just to ask Keara news, and has such a stale talk. The old man really began to behave like a parent who loved and cared for his daughter. Things he never did for years.

Keara is certainly very happy with the change in the warm attitude of the father. During her first pregnancy, she received an outpouring of love from everyone. Especially from her husband. From mom and mas Arman. Now added again from a father he had never known since childhood.

Harris only hoped that his in-laws' attitude was sincere from the bottom of his heart. He does not want to see his wife's happiness fade so know Suryo's good attitude only as a shield. Therefore, he wanted to make sure of it today.

Harris wanted to see, is today Suryo still going to come to his office to ask for money like he used to? Or did the old man really repent? Didn't want to ask for any more money, as he said and promised Keara the other day.

It was late afternoon, when security called Harris and informed him of Suryo's arrival. Luckily, Tiara had come home in time, so the woman did not have to bother hiding.

Only Aswin is still on standby from outside the CEO's room. Although, if remembered the unexpected remark Suryo to David a few days ago, implying that Suryo has broken the assumption that he is a father who has no heart. But Harris doesn't want to be cheated. He was afraid that Suryo would only play tricks on him, and the end would hurt his beloved wife.

I heard the door being knocked twice. Not until Harris told his guests to come in, but the door had swung in and revealed the figure of an old man with a simple but neat appearance, who was none other than his own in-laws. Suryo Pratomo's.

"Please come in, my Father-in-law." Harris said sarcastically, pointing at the sofa with his chin. He got up from his seat and landed a tat pan sitting on the sofa opposite Suryo.

Harris sees an unusual gesture from Suryo. If Suryo usually sits arrogantly, lay one leg to the other side of the thigh. Raising his chin full of confidence. Now all Harris saw was an old man who was down with both elbows hitching a ride on his thighs and fingers twisting each other.

Harris pulled out a check from his shirt pocket. He deliberately put the check on the table, with an open position so that Suryo can see the writing of Hundred million Rupiah listed there.

"If there's no more business, take it, then go." said Harris because the check sheet never got a welcome from the father-in-law. "Because I'm not planning on overtime today. I want to go home and accompany my wife."

Hearing the word 'my wife' made Suryo finally raise his head to look at Harris. Harris could see the pushy look on the net with the already wrinkled skin. I don't know why it made her heart a little bit full. Did this old man really repent? thought in the heart.

"I'm so embarrassed." murmured Suryo lirih as he lowered his gaze observing the marble floor of Harris' office. Although spoken plainly, but quite clearly heard by Harris.

Harris frowned not understanding. Embarrassed? A Suryo Pratomo feel embarrassed when they want to receive money?? Sounds impossible.

"I told my daughter that I won't take any more money from you" Suryo said.

Harris smiled cynically. "So now you still want to take the money, right? Haha.. Since when do you care about Keara?"

"Sorry.."

Harris raised next to his eyebrows. Sharpen his hearing. Because the word 'sorry' that had just been thrown from the mouth of his in-laws sounded so foreign in the ear.

"I was determined to change. But I don't want to be a hypocrite. I still need money to start my life. You know for yourself I don't have a job."

Harris slid her back on the back of the sofa. Then put one foot on the other leg. "Then what do you want?" tanyanya relax.

"Can you change the nominal on that check? Ten million only. And I promise this will be the last time you give me money. I promise." said Suryo mean it. From his stern gaze Harris could see the seriousness of Suryo in speech.

"Related." Suryo nodded steadily.

Harris pulled the corner of his lips. The lips revealed an arrogant smile as it was so eager to mock the in-laws. But he remembered the conversation with his father-in-law David Soehandoko some time ago. From what he heard, his father-in-law said words that were enough to make him stunned, because it was beyond his expectations.

Harris wondered in his heart, did this old man really repent? But, how can it be? Could it?

He left aside the questions that filled his mind. Harris grabbed back the cheque sheet that had been thrust into the middle of the table. He ripped the check into small parts, then wrote a new check with the nominal mentioned Mr. Suryo earlier.

"As you wish, Mr. Suryo Pratomo. Ten million Rupiah worth of cheques." said Harris as he thrust a new cheque sheet into the middle of the table. "I hope that after this you will not regret and re-subtle the hundred million you have refused."

"Yes, I promise." Suryo. His vulnerable hand grabbed a piece of check Harris had proffered.

"If I may know, what's that money for you?" Harris asked because of the curiosity that could not be held.

"Emmm.. I will use this money for business capital." replied Suryo with a head down. "I-I want to leave my former world, I want to start a trading business."

Harris raised his eyebrows. He seemed interested in hearing the continuation of his in-laws' story.

"I'm old. No more printing sins. I am so ashamed of my children and their mother. They do not know my true depravity.. Ta-but.. I'm so afraid they'll find out..."

"Eh?" Harris's confused. He wanted to laugh at the confession of the old man in front of him. But seeing the look of his earnestness, Harris paused his intention to laugh out loud. He only showed a thin smile that seemed cynical.

"Maybe strange to you. But that's what happened.." Suryo muttered. "If you meet Tiara, apologize to her. I meandly mean. If he's in front of me right now, I'm willing to prostrate at his feet.."

"Alright, live your life as best you can. I won't get in the way. But I also don't trust people easily. I will keep an eye on you, especially whenever you approach Keara and our family.. I won't let you hurt my wife even if it's a fingernail." Harris said.

Suryo smiled and nodded slowly. "Thank you... Thank you for loving my daughter so sincerely."
