"Papa?" they murmured after hearing Lidya's words.
Their reflexes look in the same direction.
Then muttered in each other's hearts.
"So that's his dad?" muttered Raka while looking at the figure of the man who was burly and still complete with his suit.
"Gee... Could it be, how do you get out of here?" muttered Rendi in panic.
"Why is Om here?" ask Ani inside.hatinya.
"Could Om have heard that rumor?"
"Hopefully nothing bad will happen."
"Aamiin...."
Nurul was a little panicked.
Lidya's father was a businessman who often went out of town to run his business. And it must be super busy with all its work.
It's very strange that such a busy person would want to spend his time in a small place like this.
Yes, Lidya's father had other intentions when he decided to come in a stall this small. And it is related to his own son, Lidya the tomboy girl.
They were still stunned by the arrival of Lidya's father, and of course with all sorts of questions in their hearts.
Another case with Raka, he can still be calm while finishing his food.
"Why are you here?" ask Lidya's father when he was beside Lidya and embrace his favorite daughter.
"Ecc... That's Pa_"
"I invite them to eat here because they have helped me in the Library" Raka said as she stood up from her seat.
"Yes, that is exactly what it is." muttered Rendi in his heart after hearing Raka's confession.
"Bright... Why would he lie like that?"
"This is the Rendi tract..."
"Or don't let Rendi lie to us."
"Yes, maybe Rendi is lying. The proof is that he didn't notice Ani in the least."
"Hm... I think I'm starting to understand."
Mumbled Lidya while looking towards Raka and Rendi alternately.
"Oh... So it's like that yeah... Brother Rendi cannot be sincere to apologize to me." Ani murmured in her heart with a feeling of sadness.
"It turns out Rendi's not as good as I thought. Poor Ani.." murmured Nurul in his heart while looking towards Ani who was already bowed holding back his sorrow.
At first they thought that Rendi was really sincere about apologizing to Ani. However, it seems that it is no longer possible.
"And why did Raka help Rendi?"
"Yes, that's the problem right now."
"Could he have done it on purpose?"
"And being forced to admit it in front of Lidya's father so that this matter is not caught?"
"Akhs... We have to investigate."
That is their inner voice through an inner bond in a friendship. They discussed through the gaze. And this is often done if in an emergency like now.
"Include Sir," Raka said as she extended her hand. " My name is Raka Aditya Nugroho." I asked them for help to reorganize the Library space." he continued steadily.
Raka's words later cut off their inner discussion. And turned their eyes towards Raka.
"I'm Lidya's father, you can call me Mr. Tomo" his father said, replying to Raka's hand tightly.
"Hmm, could this be the Killer Lidya meant?"
"It seems like he's quite brave and responsible."
His father murmured while watching Raka figure from top to bottom.
The flash back
That night, before Isya's time arrived, Lidya's father arrived home, with the intention of wanting to surprise his daughter because she had been out of town for 3 days.
Still with a happy smile and complete with his suit finally he decided to wait for his daughter in the family room.
His smile slowly disappeared.
"It's not like usual"
"Maybe something happened to her?"
"I have to catch up with him."
With anxiety he finally got into his car and looked for his daughter at Nurul and Ani's house but the results were nil.
Finally he decided to search the mosque. After arriving at the mosque, he met with one of the residents and asked for Lidya's whereabouts, but the resident only said that his daughter had come home from earlier.
"From earlier?"
"Why haven't we got home yet?"
"My daughter, where are you?"
"Dad's worried about you, son."
After getting tired of going around finally he decided to fill his stomach first in Udin mas stall.
Yes, even though he is a businessman who is quite famous in his village, but he never felt that he was higher than others. But it was the people in his village who looked too highly at him.
While in front of the shop, he saw the figure of his daughter. He immediately parked his car but there was a citizen motorcycle blocking his way.
Finally, he pressed the horn repeatedly so that the owner of the motorbike immediately moved the motor.
Who would have thought that it actually attracted the attention of some people who were in the stall including his own daughter.
Flashback off
Seeing the increasingly awkward atmosphere, Lidya finally stood up and invited his father to sit at another empty table.
"Sorry Pa, I didn't know that Papa came home today,"
"It's okay, Son, it's Papa himself who deliberately prevents Mbok to notify Papa's return. He wants to give me a surprise, Ekh... Even Papa was surprised."
"Akhs... Papa."
"Is He the Killer?"
Lidya just nodded her head slowly.
"Looks like he's a good kid."
"Hopefully." muttered Lidya very slowly so that her words were not heard by her father.
"Oh yeah Pa, why is Papa here?" tanya Lidya switched the conversation.
"Actually Papa is looking for Papa's favorite daughter you know." while pinching Lidya's nose.
Seeing the communication between Lidya and her familiar father, made them breathe a sigh of relief.
Because from earlier they were very tense if Lidya's father would scold her.
How not, Lidya is the favorite child and the only daughter of 3 brothers. He was very closely guarded by his father, especially his only daughter came home late, not as usual. There was not even any notice from mbok Ina.
"Then Pa was seen by people" said Lidya while removing his father's hand from the nose of his nose.
"Where does Papa know that I'm here?"
"Actually Papa just wants to fill the stomach of Papa who has been singing very melodious since earlier because waiting for you to come home Nak."
"Sorry Pa.." he said sincerely while bowing with a feeling of guilt.
