"Darling, since when are you good at painting? Why Mommy never knew your great ability .. I'm sorry Mommy is insensitive to you, son ... Mommy feels guilty for you, "Ellea hugs Daniel with guilt.
"I'm sure, painting is easy. Every time I look at a picture and a painting, I always think it's easy to do, even I can make it better than the picture I see." Daniel answered excitedly.
"Mommy's proud of you, Niel. Mommy will support all your abilities. Because you are talented. But, let Mommy ask you ... do you really want to enter the painting competition? If you don't want to, Mommy will talk to Mr. Samuel. How's it?"
Daniel shook his head, "No need, Mommy ..I am indeed interested in Uncle Boss' offer. Could it be that I would boast of Mommy if I won?"
Ellea was moved, she nodded steadily, "Sure Baby .. You are so proud of Mommy. Not even running the race, Mommy's been so proud of you ..."
"I'm going to take that race, so Mommy can be more proud of me. Mommy's supporting me, isn't she?"
"Of course, Mommy will support you, son. You're my great son, you're really smart, baby ... Mommy is always thanking God for giving you the most beautiful gift like you" Ellea kissed Daniel on the forehead.
"Yes Mommy . I'm so proud to have a mother like you. Thank you, Mommy has loved me with all your heart.If only, there was Daddy beside me. Maybe my happiness feels perfect" Daniel always remembered the figure of Dad in his life.
"I'm sorry Mommy, son. You don't have to be sad about it. Daddy's up there, maybe he's looking at you even if you can't see him. Don't be sad, Mommy's here for you, son. Daniel just needs to study seriously and diligently, because it makes Mommy proud" Ellea persuaded Daniel not to always remember his Daddy.
I'm sorry Mommy, Niel. This is the consequence I have. You can't have the complete affection of your Daddy. In fact, he doesn't even know if you're in the world. It's all my fault. It's all because of my old carelessness. Why do you want Daddy so much? Is it not enough for me to be both Mommy and Daddy? It hurts my heart, son, if you always say that word. Why do you have to remember people who don't even want you? Inner Ellea was filled.
"Mommy ..." Suddenly Daniel startles Ellea's daydream.
"Ah, i-iya dear? W-why?"
"Can Uncle Boss be my Daddy?" ask Daniel plain.
"Uhuk, uhuk," Ellea choked. "Why are you saying that, son? Don't speak strangely, that Uncle Boss is Boss Mommy. He's the one who paid us both. There's no way that's gonna happen. Don't say that again, it's a shame, son."
"Alright Mommy. I'm sorry," Daniel was a little disappointed.
"I'm sorry Mommy, too yeah, Mommy didn't mean to hurt your heart. Mommy just wants you not to think about what you shouldn't think. Just enjoy your childhood happily, baby." Ellea tried to smile even though her heart was sliced.
"Good, Mommy. I love you so much ..."
Suddenly, Samuel came ...
"Daniel, I've enrolled you in that painting competition. You must be upbeat, I will help you to succeed! You're very talented and a genius, Daniel. If you win that competition, I'm sure the Louvre group will give you a big award. You want your future to be bright, don't you? And you want, your Mommy is proud to have a child like you, right? You have to be excited. Uncle will support you, Daniel." Samuel rubbed Daniel's hair.
"Yes, Uncle Boss. I'll make Mommy proud. Then I want to practice painting again. Can Uncle? I think I want to paint the flowers in this store, and give them to Mommy" Daniel said.
"Good idea. You have to practice a lot. Come on, come with me to the painting room. You're a great boy Daniel,"
Daniel ran up the stairs. He was very familiar with Samuel. Samuel is a very friendly shop owner. He even joked with Ellea and Daniel. I don't know what's behind all of Samuel's kindness to Ellea and Daniel. Clearly, Ellea was so grateful, to have such a caring and kind-hearted Boss like Samuel.
"I care about Daniel's future, Ellea ..."
"Thank you for your concern, sir."

This afternoon, the shop closed. Daniel and Ellea return to their rented house. Daniel brought a package containing a painting. But Daniel did not show it to Ellea. Daniel said that the painting will be displayed on the wall of his house.
Arriving at home, Ellea was very curious about what Daniel painted. Ellea seduced Daniel into opening the painting. Daniel only smiled cheerfully, and finally Ellea was able to open the wrapped painting in such a way.
"What is this painting?"
"Just open up, Mommy," Daniel smiled broadly.
Moments after opening, Ellea was so amazed by the paintings made by Daniel. The painting looks real. Portrait of her beautiful self holding a few flower stalks. Dressed in a long dress below the knees, Ellea looked graceful and very beautiful. Ellea did not expect, Daniel's painting this time is very, very beautiful. Better than the previous painting.
"Oh My God, my baby .. This is me? You made my painting, honey? Why am I so beautiful? Why does your painting look like it's real? It's so beautiful. So thank you so much, darling. Know it? This is the most beautiful gift I've got besides your presence in this world" Ellea shed her tears.
"I made it with Mommy's sincere heart,"
She nodded, "I know that. I can feel the love in every scratch. I am really moved. I can't describe with words that I really love you ..."
"Mommy, put this painting on the wall. You're so pretty wearing that pink dress! Plus, rose flower beauty makes you even more radiant,"
Ellea was a little surprised, "By the way, how come you can paint Mommy in that outfit? Mommy wasn't wearing a pink dress."
"Uncle Boss showing Mommy's photo on her phone. There are a lot of pictures of Mommy on her phone. I also chose the best Mommy photo for me to make the object of painting. Select a photo of Mommy whose results I made a painting." Daniel's clear.
"Ah? apparently so. You are smart, my son. Thank you so much for all this,"
"Thank you again, Mommy .. I made this painting with love and affection for you ... I love you, Mommy ..." Daniel kissed Ellea's cheek.
"I love you too, my baby ..."
Why does Mr Samuel have so many pictures of me? Why didn't I realize Mr. Samuel was photographing me? Inner Ellea.
