The Promise Rejected
Chapter 12
The Rejected Promise
_Ins_
Today I want to go to the market, to buy cooking ingredients and also my baby equipment. My baby midwife said. Start my list of what I will buy later, starting from baby diapers, perlak, mosquito nets, stroller, baby clothes, octopus, baby sling, bedongan, baby powder, telon oil, socks and hand shirts, baby hats, and toiletries.
All this time I didn't know about my mom and dad. Not wanting me to go to the city yet, I was afraid that I would meet my past. The jerk who ruined my future, who only promised me accountability.
I really miss Mama's figure. It was so bad that I hugged her, spilled all my sadness on her lap, I wanted to complain to her.
Today I want to eat chicken. I started picking up the ingredients in the fridge, and started cooking. All this time I learned to cook just armed from a mobile phone, I saw the recipes from there. I have to study independently, and I have to be able to do anything myself.
After my opor was ripe, I started eating it. It doesn't feel as good as Mama did. I haven't tasted the food you've made. I miss my mom's cooking* so much*.

POV Erik Rahardja
Today as usual, I had a meeting in the morning. Yes, every day I have to make meetings. It's not easy being a CEO. After I finished the meeting, I went back to my room to rest my brain. Sit back and have a cup of coffee. This is my way of getting my mind back fresh.
Ting! Ting!
I heard a message coming in from my phone. Immediately read.
" From Ratna? ".
Ratna: [Oh, come home for a minute! ]
Ratna: [Cepet Pah!. You should know what your son has done!]
Erik: [What the hell is it?, Intan why?, he's making trouble?]
Erik : [What the hell is mah?, which obviously dong ]
Ratna : [Maternity Intan ]
The deg!
" Well pregnant, is not possible, right?. What kind of a joke is this! ".
" Don't he take care of himself?. This can't be allowed! " Rurmured.

Arriving at home..
Without a second thought I pulled her hand and slapped her cheek, spontaneously I did. This is the first time I've played physically with my son. I did it too without realizing it.
I asked him who he was doing it with, but he was silent. Not giving up I kept forcing her to tell me the truth. He was finally able to answer my question. He did it with his girlfriend.
I already knew that she had a boyfriend, Dito her name. He even visits this house often. Unexpectedly, the man I thought could replace me to take care of Intan even ruined it. I have misjudged it, from the outside he looks calm and shy, but who would have thought he has a rotten heart, human like a demon, biadap!.
The decision I made was hard. Inevitably, I cannot bear to throw him out. Let her go to her bastard lover's house!, she must accept punishment from me I thought. They also love each other. You're judging me as a selfish father? yes it is true, I am a selfish father.

I move my feet towards my room. Still can't believe it, my daughter, my little girl is capable of doing dirty things like this. I admit I'm so negligent, I can't take care of my little girl, and I also prefer my job over my family.
But I work hard like this also for their happiness, to meet their needs in order to buy what they want. I want them to always be happy.
