"My dear ... mom is home ...!"

The little girl ran and laughed cheerfully towards her mother. Rania squatted and spread her arms to catch her beloved daughter.

"Ahhh, dear. you miss me?" Rania kissed her little girl's face passionately, she landed a kiss on the left and right cheeks.

"I'm sorry, mom can't accompany you to play," he said while stroking his daughter's hair. The little girl babbled something. So tiny, so cute and pretty. Her skin is white like her mother. Her eyes are round, her nose is snub, her cheeks are chubby with dimples when she smiles, very adorable.

Rania got up while holding the little girl and approached her mother. The middle-aged woman greeted him at the door. Clara, her little daughter clapping her hands jumped for joy in the sling. Rania smiled, seeing the happiness on her daughter's face. He will make sure his daughter will not lack anything even without the presence of her father by her side.

Dahlia hugged Rania with emotion. He was proud of the struggle of this princess. In addition to paying for the needs of the family and sending his younger siblings to college. Rania also has to take care of her little daughter and give her enough love.

"How was your work today?" Lia asked softly in a motherly tone.

"As usual, Mom."

"You're tired, honey. If you have free time, rest. Don't be too tired, your health is very important. You have a child to look after."

"Yes, Mom. I will remember Mom's message." Rania gave the best smile, giving peace to her mother.

"Mom. I gets a job offer at a cafe. The schedule is Saturday and Sunday nights. As a part-time worker. But it seems like only wants to take Saturdays."

"Can you do it dear? Your work in the office is already very heavy."

"I can ... only once a week, on Sundays I can still rest. And it's time to accompany my beloved little girl," he said while kissing his daughter's cheek affectionately.

"Yes, if that's the case... but you have to promise to me, if you can't afford it you have to stop. Don't push yourself, honey."

"Yes, Mom..." Rania kissed her mother's cheek.

"Mama is grateful to have a daughter like you."

"I am also grateful, Mama is my mom. A loving and caring mother. Mama where I take refuge, where I pour everything. Mama who always makes me strong. Rania loves Mama, a lot, a lot... this much!" Rania twisted one hand in a circle.

"Ooww ... mama's favorite child."

They embraced each other, Kiran who was in his arms writhed in their midst. The little girl babbled as if to say something. Rania and Dahlia laughed excitedly and pinched Clara's chubby cheeks. For now, Clara is Rania's greatest strength when facing the realities of life.

Dahlia, the middle-aged woman actually felt very sorry for her only daughter. Although Dahlia always saw a smile on Rania's face. However, he understood that his daughter was in great torment. But always seems to stay strong. Rania is a good child, always cares about the people around her. Really loves family and can put himself. Dahlia can only provide support, whatever decision Rania makes for her happiness.

On the other hand, from inside a car parked not far from Rania's house. A man is looking at a happy scene. He continued to watch until the two women and the little girl entered the house. He watched with emotion.

He is a handsome man who rarely shows a smile. A great man who is always cool. It was the first time for him to see Rania again in a long time. He could only see from a distance. Feeling unworthy to approach. Actually he wanted to run and immediately hugged Rania. Letting go of the feelings that have been hidden for so long.

The man was like a coward hiding in his car. His face looked tired, his eyes reddened, his hands clenched into fists. He tried his best to hold back the turmoil in his heart. The regret still remains. Really want to move forward. However, so afraid of facing bad possibilities later.

Images of the past flashed through his mind again. About beautiful memories that are hard to forget so far. His life is always overshadowed by those memories. It's like being trapped in it. Words of apology kept uttering in his heart. He wanted to go forward immediately to protect Rania. Right now he just needed to be patient, his time would soon come.

_____

In a company office.

"Rian, look at this."

A tablet computer was pointed in front of Rian by his trusted assistant. His eyes glanced briefly then saw the photo on the tablet screen. Rian, who had been busy with his work, was interested to see. He reached out for the tablet. After sliding the two photos on the screen back and forth three times, they were handed back to his assistant. A small smile appeared on the corner of the man's lips.

"What would you do?" Dion, the trusted assistant started the conversation.

"When was the photo taken?" he asked flatly propping the back of his hand to his chin.

"This afternoon, Jeff happened to be there and took some photos."

"So he's free? Has a decision been made?"

"From the information that Jeff has, today is the day of the final verdict. And we can be sure that the judge agrees to all of the charges."

Rian smiled faintly, this time has finally come. The hope will soon be realized. His confidence began to rise.

"Get someone to watch over him. Report any activity as soon as possible. Just make sure he's okay." Rian ordered with a cold attitude, he straightened his body.

"Okay, I'll go out first." Dion left the room. He understood what he had to do.

Dion is actually an assistant too

Rian's best friend since college, he understands very clearly how Rian has been doing all this time. The way it works seems relaxed but neatly structured. Never hastily made a decision that made Rian succeed in making this company grow.

Since making friends with Rian, Dion has become a place for the loyal 'Big Boss' to vent. Until finally he was trusted to be an assistant who helped all work in the office to personal matters.

'Big entertainment' is an entertainment agency. Now this company has become the five largest agencies in Indonesia. This achievement is all thanks to Rian's hard work and thanks to Dion's clever intervention in managing everything. Rian was officially appointed as CEO of this company three years ago by his father.

After Dion left the room, Rian opened his desk drawer. Take a photo tucked inside a book. Then called his secretary who was outside.

"Bring me a size 4R frame right away." The call was closed without many words.

Fifteen minutes later the secretary brought his request. He put the photo that had been taken from the book into the frame. Then put the photo on the table facing him. So he could see the photo while he was at work.

Rian smiled at the photo in front of him. Reminiscing when he saved that moment in a photo. After a long time the photo can finally be displayed. This time he could see to his heart's content. Soon the figure in the photo will be in front of him.

Rian's mind began to explore the past. The period where his sweet memories began when he was still in high school. From the beginning of the meeting until finally he lost contact with his best friend. It has been eight years since Rian has kept a life story that has changed him. Disappointment and regret filled his heart again.
