I'M MAKING YOU SORRY
(SS 2) CHAPTER 74 MEETING OF PAPA AND CHILD

A black Fortuner stopped by the side of the road right in front of Ronald's workshop. A woman appeared to descend then walk towards the workshop.

"Excuse me, is Mr. Ronald here?" tanyakanya.

The people who were in the workshop stopped their activities, turning to the owner of the interesting voice.

"There was. Who are you?" one of the employees asked. He is fixing the motor.

"Let's just say, there's Mila's mother coming," replied the woman who turned out to be Mila.

"I called Mr. Ronaldnya" the employee said.

That guy goes inside. He was out with Ronald. Mila is surprised to see Ronald change. Ronald looks old. His appearance is more relaxed, not as clinical as it used to be when he was CEO. Ronald was stunned to see Mila. Mila still looks beautiful at her age which is no longer young. Mila looks more mature and elegant. Her appearance reflects that she is already an upper class woman. Although not glamorous, it still looks charismatic.

"Mi-Mila? How are you?" greet Ronald. Stupidly Ronald shook hands. Mila also returned Ronald's hand.

"Well," replied Mila shortly.

"Where's Erika?" Ronald looked at the car.

"He's in the car. I want to talk to you first" Mila said. The people in the workshop looked at them curiously. It's business what Ronald accepts rich people's guests, they think.

"All right, come in. I'm sorry it's dirty and messy here" Ronald said, letting Mila into the workshop. There is a living room and a room to rest in.

"My house is not far from here. Later Erika better go straight to the house," said Ronald then let Mila sit down.

"A long time ago, I was waiting for Erika's news. Why don't you call me right away, when I've left the phone number to your old house security, '" Ronald pours out his teeth.

"sorry. Richard and I just told Erika about you when she just graduated S1. I think now he is mature enough to look at our past problems" replied Mila.

"You know what not? I was afraid that death would pick me up before I ever saw Erika again. Why would you, Mila, let me wait in uncertainty for so many years? I know, you're still mad at me or maybe you're still holding a grudge. I'm sorry. Please, let me feel like a Papa. Don't separate us. Let Erika stay with me. I want to make up for the time wasted" Ronald turned his face away. He tried to hide the tears that were about to fall.

Actually Mila feels good to see Ronald now. But he still did not believe in the man.

"sorry. It's hard to trust you. Can you guarantee Erika's safety? Aren't you going to mess with Erika?"

"Tiger alone that beast shall not eat his own son. Do you think I'm a papa who br*ngsek, who's going to mess with my own son? The child I longed for has presence. Then I'll destroy the parent-child relationship?!" ronald's voice is high.

"I did not remarry after getting divorced from Susy until I got out of prison. But my brain is still sane. I just wanted to punish myself, because I used to have wasted and often hurt a good wife. I want you to know, I've repented" said Ronald staring at Mila.

"I'm glad you repented. But just keep your penance for someone else. Because the situation has changed. It is enough to be a better person in behaving to others. Because we can't be together. I love Richard already" Mila said.

Ronald breathed.

"I know," replied Ronald, "I don't want to disturb your happiness. My happiness now is being with my son. Let Erika stay with me" Ronald said.

"alright. But you have to promise. Will take care of Erika. Don't let him get hurt by anyone. She's already a beautiful and attractive girl. Surely it will be the target of men who like it."

"She also has to learn to be a hardworking and independent girl. You know, we educated him to be a tough guy. So, you can't spoil it too much. She has to be a strong but gentle woman" Mila said.

"Okay, I agree with that."

"Let Erika go back to the old house at any time. So that he feels he is not thrown away by us. He must learn to manage the company. He filled the leadership vacancy at a branch company in Jakarta. I want you to guide him too. You have a lot of experience managing a company. I think your science will be useful to him" Mila said.

"good. I'll try. I hope I can still guide him. Because it's been a long time. My field now runs the workshop" Ronald replied.

"Okay, I think Erika was already upset waiting," Mila got up from her seat.

"Then follow me. I'm going to take the bike to my house" Ronald walked up to get his bike.

Mila got out, then got into the car. Mila's car followed Ronald's motorbike that drove to his home, not far from the workshop.

After arriving, Ronald stopped the bike. After putting his motorcycle into the garage, he welcomed Erika's arrival at the gate of his house. Ronald's house looks simple but beautiful.

"Father!" Erika slammed into Ronald's arms.

"Erika, my dear daughter!" Ronald shed happy tears.

Mila and the driver were moved to see the meeting between Papa and her son.

"Good dad. Papa is always waiting for your arrival. Papa's glad you came. Papa used to look for you at your mama's house. But the security guard said you live in London. Papa can't catch up with you, "there's a joy that can't be described with words when Erika calls her Papa.

"Yes, Papa! Now I'm going to live in Jakarta" Erika said.

"You can stay with your father, Erika," Mila said.

"REally?!" erika's eyes were round in disbelief .

"Yes. You stay with Papa! We'll spend a lot of time together!" Ronald Sahut.

"Gee ....! Thanks, Papa!" Erika tightened her embrace. Then after that Erika ran to embrace her mother.

"Thank you, Mama!" Erika hugged her mother tightly.

After that Mila and Erika were invited in by Ronald. The driver brought Erika's suitcase into the house.

"I'm sorry I don't want to sit at your house, but I have to see a client. This client is a very important client. I have to represent Richard who can't come to Indonesia. She had to rest completely because of her illness," Mila said grudgingly.

"Richard's sick?" Ronald looked surprised

"Ma ..., you're a patient mom? If I didn't have to hold a branch office, I'd like to accompany Papa in the hospital" Erika hugged Mila.

Mila does not want to make Erika sad and also makes Ronald curious. Mila immediately wiped away the tears in the corner of her eyes.

"Richard is sick what?" Ronald's curious.

"Don't know yet. He was in the examination yesterday. But the meeting with the client can not be delayed because this is also a schedule that has been pushed before, so I have to meet the client. Moreover, the vacancy of the leadership in the branch office is urgent. We are worried that there will be parties who take the opportunity if Erika does not immediately occupy a position as the new CEO" explained Mila.

"Why the old CEO?" ask Ronald.

"Hanging a case of embezzlement," replied Mila.

"All right, Mama's gone Erika. Take good care of yourself. Don't bother your Papa" said Mila, kissing Erika's cheek.

"I'll go first. Titip Erika's. Take good care of him. This time I entrusted Erika to you. Don't let down my trust" Mila told Ronald.

"You don't have to worry. Erika I'll take better care of my own life" Ronald promised. Mila nodded. Then after shaking hands with Ronald, Mila left Ronald's house.

"Don't forget, Erika, tomorrow is your first day at the branch office. Come on time. Mama will introduce you to the division heads" Mila said before getting into the car.

"Yes, Mama! Don't worry!" erika replied while replying to Mila's hand.

"You're still energetic, Erika!" Ronald's Mumbles.

Erika. He smiled wickedly.

"Does Mama still look pretty, Pa? Papa still got a taste?"

"Ah, you are it! Papa was just amazed" replied Ronald as he walked into the house. Erika immediately followed Ronald into the house, after his mother's car had gone away.

"This is your room, Erika. Even when your mother called that you wouldn't stay here, but Papa had prepared a room for you" Ronald said, opening the door for Erika.

Erika walked into the room while looking through the contents of the room and opened the room window curtain.

"Sorry, just a simple room. There is no AC. It's just a fan" Ronald said.

"It's okay, Pa. Erika is not a spoiled child. Papa take it easy," replied Erika.

By nightfall, Ronald cooks for dinner he and Erika. Erika was moved to see her Papa was busy in the kitchen. He helped his father cook.

"Pa, why didn't Papa get married again?" erika asked while peeling the onion. She was excited to see her father doing the housework on his own.

Ronald, who was smoothing the seasoning, stopped his activity hearing Erika's question.

Hi Readers! How, smooth is it fast? Stay active even though you are fasting! I will try to update whether it's once every two days. If it could be every day. My brain is unpredictable. Sometimes it's smooth, the signal doesn't support. Or sometimes there is interference from the bocil who want to play hp mulu. Sometimes there is work to be done immediately. So the work in the real world used to come first alias primary. Writing a novel is secondary. Sorry because I am still a writer. Not a famous writer who has been able to produce a lot of fun from writing. But even so, I will try to give the best work for my Readers. Healthy greetings always.
