ME AND SOUTHEAST
Father's Secret

3 Months before the final national exam.

"Tja, are you at school there? What do you think of the students and teachers there?"

“Obviously, I think like most other schools.”

"Are you not worried? It seems like the students there are bullying you because of your strange appearance?"

"First, yes, then I can finally find him. "

"Who are your friends, and how did you meet?"

"You know the guy who paid my hospital fee? he paid for it, bang. "

"Oh, so that's your friend. As a brother, I can't even pay for your hospital. So it's not good if your friend has to do it alone."

“It's okay bang, he's a good guy, he doesn't receive anything in return, I offered him but he refused.”

"Later, I'd like to see him! I want to thank him too."

"Yes Bang."

"You go to bed fast, it's late. Have you completed your task?" Teja quit her job and said that it was not a job just pictures and after being ordered by her brother she went to bed.

"Feature, you're very hypocritical. One day I'll ruin your life." Teja thought before closing her eyes.

The next day, Class 3 E held a practice exam. This time for practice outside the field or commonly called PRAKERIN (Industrial Work Practice) which has been provided by the school, which has been, third-graders are expected to blend in and get a feel for what it's like to work in a particular company or industry.

Anggara chose his own choice, although the choice of place for his practical assignment given by a well-accredited school was used as an internship place by previous alumni. Anggara's place of practice was chosen by his father where his friend worked.

"Bre Dian!" His father said when he met his old friend at college.

"Hey, Prapto!" Dian replied while shaking his hand.

"How are you? Just make the items you." Anggara's father meant to joke.

"As you can see, I'm fine and your jokes are stale, you know."

"Haha... Sorry, we haven't laughed since graduation."

"You're different now, you're a businessman."

"Haha.. I could just work harder."

"If I work hard, I work hard too, but it's still like this."

"here! Let me tell you!" Anggara's father whispered something into Mr. Dian's ear and surprised him.

"Ah, no! I don't want to do that."

"Yes, if you don't want to, I can't force you. If you want to live poor, just live your life like this until old age.”

Anggara realized that his father's words demeaned him and made him have to endure emotions because of his father's status.

“Pah!” Anggara tried to shift the conversation so that his father would no longer look down on his friend.

Mr. Dian looked at Anggara and then harbored an almost booming emotion.

"Oh, okay. Coincidentally, I also need someone to help me work here."

"Well, it could be a coincidence like this. I'll pay you as long as you give good value to my son."

Anggara felt his father was trying to bribe him. With a forced smile, Mr. Dian greeted Mr. Prapto.

"Well, take it easy, I'll take care of your son and give him the appropriate grades."

"I'll go first! There's still a lot of work to do.”

“Ya, please be careful!”

He also climbed into the car Fazero just bought with the intention of showing off to his friends. The fraud and deception of his father was known to his friend. Therefore, Mr. Dian refused to follow despite the many and tempting results of ordinary workers.

Though Anggara also already know since still SMP. It is reasonable not to use the money given by his father. The motorcycle father gave as his birthday gift last month, that the gift was not from him but from his mother. Anggara found out about it after seeing her mother's shadow come out of the show. Dad purposely hid this from her because he wanted Anggara to forget his mother. When Anggara asked about the gift from his mother, the father just kept quiet and asked back while grumbling at him.

At that time Anggara only knew that his mother was completely innocent, Anggara's mother also did not want the money given by her father, so she left and after learning that her mother left without saying goodbye, Anggara's mother also did not want to, she thought that her mother had gone into an affair, so the father suddenly said divorce to her. In fact, not everyone who has abundant treasures will be happy. What the Anggara family felt was destruction.

It is unfortunate for him, who should be able to enjoy family harmony, to be a victim of his father's crimes. Anggara could not say anything even though he knew his father's job. He could only pray that his father would come to his senses and return with his mother.

"Yes a hero?" Dian started the conversation.

"Yes." Yeah." Answer Anggara firmly.

"Have you discovered your father's secret?"

"I already know, sir. For this reason, I do not want to use money from him. That's also the reason he divorced my mother."

"Oh, so. Be patient."

"I'm used to being treated that way by my father, who thinks I'm no more important than his rotten job."

"That's it, deck Anggara. Your father's nature never changes."

"That means?"

"Your father used to be famous for his arrogance, who liked to show off and stalk the people he passed when he was in college. If not, he will beat him. Oh, yep! Don't tell your dad, okay? Only you and I know your father's past."

Consider how painful it was, when hearing from his friend that his father was also a thug before. The fact Anggara is currently in the position is not much different from what his father did when he was a teenager. But their mission and purpose are different. It is true that the saying that the fruit falls not far from the tree. What his father did in the past will not be far from what his son, Anggara, did. And it is clear why his father can be as successful as other alumni friends because his father is a drug businessman. Anggara could not fight his own father, nor was it possible to force him to quit because his job had been running for 18 years.

"OK sir! I'm not gonna tell dad."

"Then let's get to work! Are you good at assembling two-wheeled machines?"

"God willing, can sir!"

"All right then. Come along!"

They start working and Anggara seems familiar with Mr. Dian. He considers Mr. Dian to be like his own uncle, even though he only met a few hours ago. Anggara only feels comfortable with Mr. Dian, a calm and kind figure, he is also honest and hardworking.

Anggara looked at the sky that was starting to darken. He imagined if his father was like Dian, he would be happy. But destiny cannot be changed, we just have to carry out all the plans that God has arranged.
