“What package? How about wrapping it in a paper book like this?” ask her wonder.
“My friend, Pa. Just a fad he” replied Elsa origin, she tried to calm her feelings that were turbulent not because of and anxiety that hit her
“Your friend who offers the job?” asked Mr. Malik who made Elsa even more nervous, anxious and afraid
“Say your Mama, your friend was here again. Where did you offer a job, Sa? If according to Papa, you just take the job as long as it is good and halal, rather than you stress at home like this, right?”
Elsa is unable to answer him, she herself does not know what kind of work Robin will give her, but certainly Elsa is sure that it is not a good job for Elsa.
Mr. Malik who saw his only silent child was approaching him, holding both shoulders gently and carrying his sitting to the edge of the bed.
“Sa, Papa knows, you no longer like living in this house, because our home environment will always remind you of the past, not to mention the neighbor's talk that keeps gossiping about you and Elnaz. And if you really want to work outside the city, Papa will permit you on the condition that Papa must know what your job is and who you live with, what kind of environment you”
“Indeed Papa still believes in me? I used to lie to Papa, even I made the honest Elnaz look he was the one who lied in front of Papa” great-grandson Elsa
“Papa gives you a second chance, that's why you don't break Papa and Mama's trust anymore, son. We love you, we care about you”
Elsa fell silent again, she thought could this be her solution so that she no longer lived in her hometown that only made her more depressed?
“Iya, Pa. Thank you very much, Pa. I promise, will no longer disappoint Papa and Mama”.
“Then what about your sister?” ask Mr. Malik who made Elsa look up directly “Tlast night Elnaz telfon Papa, ask how you are. Why won't you talk to her, Sa?”
“I'm ashamed, Pa” said Elsa increasingly tightened her embrace on her father's “I hurt Elnaz too much, even I hurt her”
“It was just an accident, Elnaz already forgave you. After all, whatever happened in the past it will not break your brotherhood relationship” Elsa again can only listen in silence.
Both of them were equally silent for a while, Elsa enjoyed the warm embrace of the father. Which he has been used to since childhood.
“Alright, Papa has to work, Nak” said Mr. Malik later, Elsa even broke her embrace and kissed his father's cheek.
“Be careful, Pa” said Elsa and her father smiled as he nodded his head.
After her father left, Elsa closed her bedroom door and she sat limp on the edge of the bed.
