Damar took a deep breath with weight. He had known Zesa for a year since she was a servant in Zayden's house. Today he will meet the girl as the father, not the great master of the Wicaksana family home.
"If you're not ready yet, you shouldn't be forced. You can meet him later, sir," Leo proposes behind the wheel.
He glanced at the master from the upper rearview mirror. They had arrived at the garage ten minutes ago, but Damar was still sitting in the car with all his worries. She believes her daughter has heard her talk with her five adopted sons.
"Will he forgive me? I'm an irresponsible father" Damar said with a heavy sigh.
"I don't know, Sir. There is no harm in trying first. After all, sooner or later, big lady still has to meet you."
"yes too. Come with me to see him," asked Damar.
Leo got down and opened the car door. Damar stepped in front of Leo with his usual charisma. As they entered the main door, the servants lowered their faces and saluted.
"Where is he?"
"In the upper room, sir," replied the waiter.
Damar stepped back. He and Leo climbed the stairs to the third floor of the main mansion. Right in front of the room, he heard the girl crying.
"What are you guys doing? Open door!" yelled Damar who was worried to hear his daughter cry.
Hearing Damar's voice, Zesa immediately got up and moved away from the door. When the door opened, Zesa barged through to escape. However, the two guards caught him.
"Take me off! I want to go home!"
"Zesa, my daughter," said Damar in a trembling voice.
"Lord, please order them to release me, I want to go home" Zesa said in a hoarse voice.
"But this is your home, son," Damar said, extending a hand.
He touched the top of the girl's head with teary eyes. The daughter he had been looking for so long, it turned out that he was already so close to her. Over the course of a year saw the girl become a servant and was sometimes colonized by her five adopted children.
"Get your hands off, great sir!" hardik Zesa moved his head away from Damar's hand.
"Zesa .. I am your father, your real father. Papa knows, you must hate Papa for finding you too late. But~"
"I haven't had a father since I was born. At any time, I only have a mother. You have no right to call me son" Zesa sneered with a hate-filled look.
"It's not all papa's will. Papa was forced to marry someone else, but we divorced after your grandparents died. After that papa looked for you, but papa didn't find you. Until you accidentally see a photo of wallpaper on your phone.
"Until this second, your mother is the woman you love. Papa asked Leo to do a DNA test to find out if you're my son or Kemala's son with her husband."
"Haha …. You don't even know that my mother never married. Every time a man proposes, my mother rejects them. I was afraid that having a husband would make me suffer. And who are you to suddenly claim to be my father?" asked Zesa while trying to escape from the guards.
"Dia~"
"Yes, he never married. He sacrificed his happiness for me. I don't want to admit you as my father! It will never!"
Damar turned to hear Zesa's words. The girl really hated him. He swore he would never acknowledge Damar as his father.
"Tch! You think all this treasure you have is enough to pay for our suffering? No. gabe. Even if you give it all the stars in the galaxy, it will never be able to pay for it" Zesa said with growing resentment.
Zesa was humbled by the man's words. He never dreamed of being rich. Then, Damar spoke as if Zesa and his mother were crazy for treasure, so that the lure of Damar's inheritance hoped they would forgive him.
"Slump that girl's dirty mouth! How dare he insult papa like that" Kay said with a dead red face. He most dislikes if there is something that makes his father sad, even if it is the son of Damar.
Zesa had known the man for a long time. His mood always changed drastically. If anyone was disliked, he would be very angry, just like at this moment. Seeing her father being scolded by the girl, her emotions suddenly overflowed like flood water.
Kay took off the tie and walked over to Zesa. He almost got out of control and completely stuffed Zesa's mouth with a tie. Damar confronted the man and asked Leo to take him away.
"Deliver! He should be taught how to be respectful to parents" said Kay, who kept Leo out of his presence.
"The one being cared for by him is you, not me. You should be happy that I rejected the great master's inheritance" Zesa sneered with a cynical look toward her father.
Kay prepares to open her mouth, but a phone call interrupts. He reached into his cell phone. With a view that could not be separated from the girl, he answered a phone call from the hospital. His face that was originally filled with anger, turned into a look of pity.
"Who's it from, Kay?" ask Damar.
Kay changed immediately and Damar had memorized the nature of the third adopted child. His heart is so heartfelt. Whether it makes him angry or makes him sad, all can be read from facial expressions that always change drastically.
"From the hospital, Pa. They say~"
"What did they say?" ask Damar, curious.
"Mrs Kemala died five minutes ago" Kay replied as she looked at Zesa.
The girl knew who Kemala meant to them. He peels with both eyes. His vision began to faint and he finally drooped to the floor with both knees supporting his body. Zesa cried, screaming for her mother, and then she lay unconscious.
Kay picks up the girl and takes her back to the room, while Damar and Leo return to the hospital. Before leaving, he left his daughter to Kay. "Please take care of him, Kay."
"Good, Pa."
***
Zesa regained consciousness after nightfall. But it is like a living corpse. He did not want to talk, cry, or move from his bed.
"Zesa .. are you okay, honey?" asked Damar while clasping the girl's hand affectionately.
Silent. Not a word came out of his lips. He just lay with a blank look towards the ceiling of the room. Losing the figure of the mother made the girl feel that there was no point in living.
"The patient father. Zoe is sure, Zesa will be fine. She's a strong girl."
"Yes, Pa. Zesa is still in shock over the loss of her mother. We all know Zesa well. Right now, he just needs time to calm down."
Kay added to Zoe's speech. One year's time was enough for them to get to know the girl's personality. During their stay in the mansion next door, they would often prank Zesa, but she remained tough and lively.
The main mansion is occupied by Damar, while the second mansion located next to the main mansion is occupied by his five adopted children. That's where Zesa lived for the past year. Memories of a year ago came to their minds.
