Mr. Danu looked at his daughter and smiled. At least in this almost precarious moment, her beloved daughter had earned her happiness with the right person.

A few days passed and Sunday finally came. Ana begins her morning lazing on her bed. Time has shown at 9 am, but he is still cool to play his phone in bed. Ana is having a conversation with Sarah through a short message.
"Sarah", Ana sends her first message.
"Yes, what's the boss?", Sarah replied.
"I'm so nervous right now. Later that night I'll have dinner with Ken's parents", Ana starts the story.
"Why be nervous?! Where my great lady is so confident", Sarah replied trying to encourage her best friend.
"Hey, stop calling me that or you want me to fire ya" Sarah chuckled at Ana's message.
"Yes, yeah, all right! Just so you don't fire me, whatever I'm gonna do, baby", Ana looks disgusted at Sarah's message but then her smile grows.
"Don't call me baby, just find a guy you can call your heart out" Ana starts to taunt Sarah at her message.
"Hey, how arrogant are you, miss! Just look, I'll bring my prince later", Sarah smiled meaningfully as she replied to Ana's message.
"Yes I'll be looking forward to it! Sarah, I'm afraid they won't like me later" Ana replies.
"Who?".
"Who's Ken's parents are, who else!".
"Not thought about it! You better take a shower and pick the best dress for you to wear tonight" Sarah replied.
"Hey from where do you know I haven't had a shower!", Ana replies.
"You smell all the way here, hehe" Sarah smiled back at Ana's message.
"I miss you so much, Sarah! If only tonight you could accompany me, I would feel better", Ana replied then looked at the ceiling of her room.
"Alright, I'll accompany you later", Sarah smiled ambiguously as she sent the message to Ana.
"Hey, what do you mean?", Ana takes Sarah's message so seriously.
"I will accompany you through my prayers" Sarah said in her message.
"All right, I've done it. I want to soak now", Ana ends her message and goes to the bathroom without waiting for a reply from Sarah.
On the other hand, in a hospital. Sarah is waiting for her mother who has been in the hospital for a few days due to her heart disease. Normally Sarah would alternate with her younger brother if she was going to go to work. Do not ask about the cost of the hospital, because the place where her mother was treated is one of the hospitals where Ana's father has a large enough stake. So Ana ordered Sarah to take care of her mother there if at any time her mother's illness was crushed without having to pay a penny. That was Ana's unmitigated kindness to Sarah, so Sarah always had to feel grateful to Ana. But sometimes he also wants to not continue to depend on her. But whatever the power, the weight of this life makes it must continue to receive the goodness of Ana.
"Ahh!", Sarah rubbed rough her face to relieve frustration.
"Do I have to tell Ana?!", she muttered as she looked at a box of navy-colored dresses and heels.

The sun is at its peak. His radiance became extremely painful to every eye that looked directly at him. An incomparable glimmer of luxury from God's creation to his people.
Ana was busying herself in her walkin closet. She was busy trying on some dresses that she felt were good enough for her to wear later tonight. How many dresses he threw just because of his own dissatisfaction. Some are too long, or too short, or too open, or some are off-color. He just threw it all on the floor.
"Ahh, I am confused!", he said frustratedly to himself who was in the big mirror before him.
"You are quite yourself, princess", a voice echoed from the doorway of her walkin closet.
"Gosh!", Ana surged in shock to find her father already standing there while folding his hands in front of her chest.
"I'm sorry that you can't help me. If there was your mother, she could help you choose a dress that would suit you. Sorry that you can't do it" said Mr. Danu with a sad look as he walked towards Ana.
A sadness fell on her face that she could not cover from Ana. Since her mother's departure, Ana has become a more independent girl and has never troubled her father. Especially in a difficult time for a woman like the first menstruation when she was a teenager, Ana tried to face and find her own solution without having to bother her father. Where usually in such times as well as today, the figure of the mother is very important to accompany him. But Anna never complained. Although she is a mere princess, Ana looks more mature and independent than any other daughter.
Now Mr. Danu is standing in front of his daughter. He looked at Ana. Then Ana touched her father's cheek gently. He was trying to transfer positive energy to his father.
"Oh come on, dad! This is not the time to be sad. Let's change that look, or I don't want to see dad anymore" Ana said, putting on a smile.
Ana is just an ordinary human being. He does not deny that at times like this he really needs a mother figure for him to tell stories or ask for solutions to him. But what to say if it has faced the will of God. At this time his mother was already calm in heaven, all he could do was of course make his mother proud of him. So the thought of Ana all this time that makes her become intelligent and also independent.
"Come here, hug Dad!", Mr. Danu already smiled. He stretched out his hand for Ana to enter into his arms. He kissed Ana. Mr. Danu channeled his deep affection towards the most precious person in the world after the passing of his wife.
Ana hugged her father tightly. He felt the love from his father. She was grateful, even though Ana only had a single parent, but she did not lack the slightest affection. He was very happy even though there was only a father accompanying him. Because he knew that his mother was always watching him in heaven.
"Tok, tok, tok", the sound of knocking from Ana's bedroom door made the two boy's father let go of his embrace.
Ana approached the waiter, who was standing in the doorway of her half-opened room.
"What's wrong?", asked Ana.
"There's a guest for Miss?", replied the waiter politely.
"Did she say her name" asked Ana, wondering who the guests were coming from. Because all this time he never got a visit, because it was his friend who was so limited.
"Yes, Miss. She said that she was Miss's future husband. Emm, is that true?! I hesitated, so I let her wait in the living room, Miss", replied the maid while holding her smile. Yes, she herself was a bit surprised when she received a guest who claimed to be her non-husband. She has never been seen close to a man.
"Whaatt?!", cried Ana who was so surprised by the arrival of someone.
