Mr. Leon's Second Wife
117

It's still the same day at night...

Aleta is now in her private room. On top of her king-size bed, the twenty-four-year-old was seen occasionally chuckling while holding her phone.

She is currently in the middle of a message with a forty-year-old man her ex-husband, Leonardo Alfindo Ganada.

Since the afternoon Aleta did not leave the room. He prefers to be in his favorite room while replying to the message with the man with a calm and charismatic nature.

Chequek.....

the door to the room is open.....

Aleta turned towards the source of the voice.

"why..!" aleta said when she saw the arrival of an athletic man who now appears to enter her private room.

That's the general, Mario.

Aleta rose from her fall. Mario approaching. He then sat on the edge of his favorite daughter's bed.

"why are you home?" aleta asked the papa who had just returned after two days away from duty outside the city.

Mario smile.

"you're in the room so you don't know if you've come home from the afternoon." said Mario made Aleta smile funny. He really did not realize that his father had come home.

The back of Mario's hand, then kissed him as a sign of devotion.

"why are you in the room again?" ask Mario.

"not why do not do anything.cuma again chat an aja same temen.." said Aleta.

Mario smiled again.

"Al.." said Mario.

"yes....."

"A few days ago you have spent time together with Bobby.papa see, even though it's only been a day.you already look familiar.." said Mario.

Aleta quiet.

"do you not want..try walking alone again with him?" mario asked as if he did not know that Aleta was now back close to her ex-husband.

"why would you mate me with her?" ask Aleta.

"if you want your dad to agree...!" said Mario.

Aleta shook her head quickly.

"pa.." said Aleta.

"what?" ask Mario.

Aleta lowered her head, squeezing her fingers as if she wanted to channel the turmoil in her heart.

"w...."

"yes..."

"can I say something like papa?" ask Aleta.

"what?" ask Mario.

Aleta looks back at squeezing her finger. Something the general's sharp eyes could catch.

Aleta looked up courageously looking into the middle-aged man's eyes.

"according to papa...a good man for me it...which is like how?" ask Aleta.

Mario was silent for a moment.

"why ask that?" ask Mario.

"not only want to know.." said Aleta.

Mario took a deep breath and looked straight ahead.

"a man who is good for you papa version.one, for sure he must have a good religious policy....he can melt your heart and turn you into the old Aleta." said Mario.

He looked back at the princess's face.

"son.semenjak bad events that befell you a few years ago.papa as if feeling there is less than yourself. Although papa found you have grown up, papa does not accompany your childhood, but as a father.papa can feel, there is something that still imprints in you..."

"are you afraid of failing again and choosing the wrong husband?" ask Mario

Aleta.

"i'm just not ready pa. I haven't found the right one yet..."

"what do you think is right?" ask Mario again.

Aleta did not answer. Mario shuffling. His body came closer to the body of his beloved daughter. His hands moved to reach the palms of Aleta who seemed to squeeze each other channeling her heart.

"do you still love your ex-husband?" ask Mario.

Aleta looked up at the face of the papa. Highlight Mario's eyes staring deeply into the beautiful netra of the princess as if trying to explore what Aleta now feels.

"do you still love the man who made you fall?" ask Mario again without changing his perspective.

Aleta looks condensed.

"w...."

"what?"

"did papa hate him?" ask Aleta.

"yes...!" answered Mario firmly.

"papa hates him who has hurt you physically and mentally..!" said Mario.

"in what way?" ask Mario.

Aleta did not answer.

"as a father, papa still feels pain considering how you used to be so sad when papa found..."

"he treated you inappropriate, son...."

"he didn't humanize you and your mother who in fact was his own in-law..!" said Mario.

"but everything happens because of a misunderstanding pa.." said Aleta.

"that's what he needs to fix..!" said Mario.

"is he able to be a man who will listen to all problems not just from one side?"

"did he manage his emotions as a man?" ask Mario.

"papa never forbid you from connecting with any man, as long as he can make you happy.but for that one man, papa still hesitates" said Mario.

Aleta.

Mario stared intensely at the princess.

"have you met that guy again?" ask Mario.

Aleta looked at the papa again and then looked back down.

Mario raised his chin.

"have you?" ask her again.

Aleta nodded slowly.

"then?" ask Mario.

Aleta shook her head.

"why?" ask Mario.

"pa.." said Aleta, looking down.

"look at your face when you're talking, son." said Mario sound slow but firm.

"he has changed a lot" said Aleta lirih.

Mario has no voice.

Aleta seemed to move the palm of the hand that was now in the general's hand. It was as if hinting at a disturbance that the woman felt.

"in what way?" ask Mario.

"because he raised two orphans to be his children...?" tanya Mario made Aleta look up for a moment.

"do you know?" ask Aleta

"your father isn't a fool, baby." said Mario.

Aleta looked down again.

"what's with that you're sure he's changed?" ask Mario again.

Aleta did not dare to answer. He himself also did not know, on what basis he could accept the man again and believe that Leon had changed. Maybe on the basis of love that has not faded since then?

i-i don't know.....

"what can he show you to convince you that he's a better person?" ask Mario.

Aleta was silent for a long time, until....

"he'll be here tomorrow pa...he wants to meet my father to apologize." said Aleta.

Mario raised his chin.

"at his own will or are you asking?" ask Mario.

"she herself wants to go." said Aleta as she raised her head to look at the father.

Mario nodded.

"okay.please..make him come...! meet papa and mom tomorrow.papa want to see, what he is like now until you are sure that he has changed.." said Mario.

Aleta nodded slowly.

Mario moved his hand gently rubbing the head of Aleta.

"heard son.papa does not mean to restrain you.but as a father.papa is still too afraid if you go back to choosing the wrong partner and end up being harmed physically and mentally.."

"know dear.papa did this all for your happiness." said Mario make Aleta more down.

Mario smile. He then rose. The head of the princess was short.

"already night.sleep..papa also want to rest.." said Mario.

Aleta nodded.

"good night, baby..."

"night pa.." replied Aleta softly.

The middle-aged man then rushed away leaving the room. Let the princess rest immediately.
