A few minutes later, a car came and stopped in front of the yard.
"Ac ...." Syifa memorized very well, whose car it was. He who felt very happy immediately stood up, then ran when someone got out of the car but in the back seat. "Bec ... Where have you been? Why don't you go say it?" tanyanya who hugged.
"Syifa," he called. From his heavy voice it sounded not Joe's. The fragrance of the perfume too, though equally fragrant masculine.
Syifa raised her face with a smile, but as she looked at the face of the man she was currently hugging, she was shocked. This man is not Joe, but Papi Paul.
"E-eh Papi, I'm sorry, Pi." Quickly Syifa let go of the hug and kept a little distance, but she immediately kissed the back of her hand. "I guess Aa," he added while bowing his face in embarrassment.
"Nothing," replied Papi Paul flatly, then stepped forward towards the house.
Abi Hamdan who just came out of the door immediately smiled to welcome his besi, not forgetting he also invited shaking hands. "Sir Paul has come apparently? Is the road jammed?" ask him pleasantries.
"Not jammed yet, sir," replied Papi Paul, shaking his hand.
"Well, Robert and Mami didn't come? Where are they, Pi?" Syifa looked sad when she looked into Joe's car, which was only a driver, sitting in the steering wheel. In fact, since then Joe who he was very much waiting for his arrival.
"The fire did come alone, intentionally, Fa," replied Papi Paul.
"Incidentally?!" Syifa's forehead immediately frowned. He turned to his father-in-law and approached with a confused look. "What then? What's the matter, Pi?"
"Can we go in first and have a conversation?" Instead of answering Syifa's question, Papi Paul gave a back question.
"Oh can, can." Abi Hamdan said, even though he looked as confused as Syifa. Soon he widened the door of his house, then invited Papi Paul to come in. "Come in, Mr. Paul. Please."
Papi Paul nodded, then stepped into the house, then sat on a single sofa.
"Enjoy! Make some coffee, Mi! Make besan!" abi Hamdan's orders hurriedly approached his wife in the kitchen.
Umi Maryam who was cutting some marble balls on the plate immediately turned her head. "They've come, Bi?" ask her with a happy look.
"What came was Jojon's Papi doang, Mi."
"What then? Where are the others going?" Umi Maryam took a peek into the living room, from the kitchen. It looks like there is only Papi Paul alone sitting on the sofa.
"Abi doesn't know. Make coffee first" Abi Hamdan said, then passed from the kitchen.
"Sir, why Aa Joe, Robert and Mami Yeri are not coming? Why, huh?" syifa asked the man who was still in the car, who she believed was the driver of Papi Paul.
"I don't know, Miss." The man replied while shaking his head.
"Where are they? How come, only Papi's coming?" shifa muttered in question. And for some reason, his feelings were bad. There's a sense of worry too.
"Please drink and eat, sir," said Umi Maryam who serves on the table a cup of black coffee and some pieces of marble sponge.
"Thank you, Mom." Papi Paul smiled and nodded his head slightly.
While Umi Maryam immediately invited Syifa to sit together, when she saw her son enter the house. They were sitting on a couch with Abi Hamdan.
"Yes, Sir. Sorry ... indeed the intention is only me who came here," replied Papi Paul.
"But where did Aa go with Robert, Pi?" Syifa repeated her question again, because her in-laws did not answer where the two men were different generations.
"Joe, Robert and Mami .. have already gone to Korea, Fa," Papi Paul replied honestly.
However, what he said immediately invited Syifa and her parents to be shocked. In addition they were also surprised, why the three people went to Korea and without saying first.
"Kok they went to Korea? What do you want? And why didn't Aa talk to me first, Pi?" Syifa's eyeballs are already glazed. He looked sad and disappointed.
"Bapi will .. they are used to living without you, Fa," replied Papi Paul lightly. And suddenly, again made the three people there surprised. Syifa also felt her chest suddenly tight.
It can be concluded, if they go to Korea at the request of Papi Paul. But to Syifa's surprise, why did Joe and Robert agree? At least tell me first, before leaving.
"Kok Papi said it like that, anyway?" Syifa's tears had already melted, soaking both of her cheeks.
"Sir, you are not good at talking like that" said Abi Hamdan, then embraced his son's shoulder. Syifa sat in the middle between herself and Umi Maryam. "Syifa is already a family father, he's Joe's wife, Robert's Mommy. Then why did you even say that?"
Papi Paul sighed with a huff, then looked at Abi Hamdan. "I'm sorry, but like what I said on the phone. I did come because I wanted to solve this problem, sir."
"Solving Joe's problems with Robert going to Korea? It should be here." It seems, Abi Hamdan still does not understand the meaning of the words of Papi Paul.
"Let them go to Korea. Because there's Joe's birthplace" Papi Paul replied casually, then added. "I'm sorry before, but please ... Mr. Hamdan, Ms. Maryam and Syifa can accept. If I'm going to cut ties between Joe and Syifa."
"Connecting?" Abi Hamdan was again surprised, his eyeballs perfectly rounded.
"So that means, Papi wants me and Aa to get divorced, right?" ask Syifa who was crying.
"Yes." Yeah." Papi Paul nodded.
"But why, sir? And what's wrong with Syifa so you want her to divorce Jojon?" asked Abi Hamdan who slightly raised his tone. The jaw on his face instantly hardened, his chest rumbling. Not accept it, if the child had to part with Joe, a man he considered perfect.
"Is this something to say about pretending to be pregnant, sir?" Umi Maryam just opened her voice. He was curious.
"Yes, Mom." Papi Paul nodded. "Honestly, I'm very disappointed. Joe never dared to lie to me. But only this time and it's just because you want to marry Syifa" he added, staring cynically at Syifa.
"But I don't want a divorce, Pi!" reject Syifa firmly and head bobbing. "Please don't do this. I'm sorry and Aa, about what happened, hix," Syifa added sobbing. He also ventured to touch Papi Paul's right hand, pleading with the old man to renounce his desire to separate him from Joe.
"We can be angry with Joe and Syifa, sir. We can rebuke his mistakes. But not in a way to separate it" said Abi Hamdan, who was sad, saw the cry of his son.
