It's been a month.
Louis was always looking for Adrienne's whereabouts, he deeply regretted not seeing the woman he loved back then.
His body was thin even his cheek skull was clearly visible, he lost his appetite, the only thing that excited him was meeting Enne and Valarie.
His divorce with Eliza set him free and no longer bound in the marital relationship but Adrienne disappeared, the woman who attracted his attention went away and no one knew of her whereabouts.
Louis desperately expects the woman and her daughter back, he desperately wants to meet, a lot of things he wants to tell Enne, about his never-fading feelings about his love that will never be extinguished.
Now he lay on his couch, enjoying the longing that kept gnawing at his heart, waiting for time to pass so that he could meet Valarie and Enne.
"Day, quickly change, I miss them! Please don't stop me from seeing my woman and my daughter" she said to the void that felt so crowded.
Suddenly, Enne and Valarie's shadow appeared in front of him, the woman dancing in her laughter and her daughter running around with a happy smile.
The two of them had fun while occasionally glancing at Louis.
"Darling, come along" call Enne to Louis.
Valarie also waved her hand and shouted cheerfully "Dad, come here" so the shadows of the two of them invited Louis' smile.
It felt like at this moment, he was willing to give up his life to be able to get a life like that, imagining how the woman he loved called out her soft name, and her daughter continued to welcome and look at her affectionately, looking at her affectionately, makes her feel grateful to be able to live to witness the laughter of her beautiful and sweet child.
"If that time comes, I will definitely be the luckiest man in the world" Louis commented on the delusion that kept coming to his mind.
"Actually, where are you going? Are you avoiding me? Am I so bothered?" ask Louis.
He was very curious, about the reason Adrienne left his house and went away, even Edric did not want to open his mouth and choose silence even though Louis was very desperate to find the whereabouts of the two of them.
As soon as fear and uneasiness haunted Louis, he thought, perhaps his heart would continue to hurt, for there was no reason for Enne to take it back.
He was too late, five years was not a short time, imagining Adrienne raising Valarie alone made him even more afraid, it could be, his delusion would still be illusory and not be realized.
Louis grinned, his bitter laughter looking pitiful.
"Egoistic basis" ledeknya, he did not say that to anyone but he spoke like that because mocking himself who had been too confident can get Adrienne again.
As Louis' days passed, each morning he would stop by Enne's house to check on the whereabouts of the woman he loved so much, and in the afternoon he would meet Edric to find out where Adrienne was.
If he did not get any news, he would go home with a lethargic face and immediately lay his body on the sofa while imagining happy times with the princess and the woman he wanted to make his wife.
Eating very rarely he did, for some reason, he was not so hungry, he just kept spending his time staring at the photos of Valarie and Adrienne he got from fansite.
Whereas at that time, Valarie was already in his lap, if only he recognized his daughter who was so similar to him. Louis's many regrets further suppressed his heart and made him feel claustrophobic, it seemed like he was punishing himself.

Aron and Adrienne enjoy dinner with Valarie, they throw each other a smile, happiness is very emanated from the three, especially after Aron proposed to Enne.
There was no happier news for Valarie than the news that the man sitting next to her would be her father.
That's why he always smiles, showing how happy he is because he will have a complete family.
"Pelan-pelan just eat it dear" ledek
Valarie was embarrassed, he realized that he was too eager to eat the roasted chicken made by Aron.
"I love the chicken that Aron burns" Valarie replied, trying to defend himself.
Aron had a big head, he was smiling.
"really? Hehe, I have to learn to burn chicken again, it seems there are still some less mature, but thanks Valarie for praising me" said Aron, he was quite humble because his ability is still lacking.
"No really! Aron's om cuisine is delicious" Valarie said.
Aron chuckles.
"Thank you for my lovely daughter's compliment" Aron praised Valarie.
Adrienne who had just enjoyed her food immediately stopped her activities and tried to make sure the sentence came out of Aron's mouth.
"I must have misheard" said Enne, she put down her fork and spoon.
Aron shakes.
"You didn't hear wrong! Soon we'll get married, there's no harm in calling Valarie my daughter, anyway this could also be an exercise so that I don't feel awkward, right?" obviously Aron doesn't feel wrong with his talk.
Enne understands and is relieved by the explanation given by Aron, there is gratitude to her for getting a man who is kind and very extraordinary.
"I'm so happy! In that case, I will also call Aron, papa, Aron's handsome papa" Valarie said on the sidelines of his voracious meal.
Aron was moved, he hugged Valarie and said softly.
"Thank you for being such a smart and kind daughter" she whispered, of course Valarie's smile grew when she heard the compliment.
"You're talking about me, huh?" ask Enne who feels alienated.
"Secret" replied his little daughter.
"Yes, it's a secret" Aron said.
"It's awful" Enne pretended to be annoyed.
Then the three of them finished their dinner with a laugh that occasionally sounded so crisp in the ear, so delicious the scene that the three of them displayed, like a family that looked very harmonious.
The sweet Valarie falls asleep in Aron's lap, he falls asleep after suggesting to watch together, and the frantic Adrienne moves her daughter to the room but Aron forbids her.
"Leave it! When else can I feel your daughter's spoiled behavior" Aron said holding Enne's hand.
"But you'll be tired" he said, worried.
"If it's something like this, I won't be tired, so take it easy" explained Aron calming Enne who still looks worried.
Adrienne fell silent, she seemed to think about something and the sensitive Aron immediately asked for the cause.
"Is there anything that bothers you?" ask Aron.
"I just feel like our relationship is going too fast, even going straight to marriage, I'm afraid your parents won't approve of our marriage, let alone that I already have children, and you have everything, don't you think living with me is just gonna waste your time?" Enne explained the worries that had been holding her back for a few days.
Aron was quite surprised by Enne's question, it seemed like he understood why Adrienne was so afraid, in this cruel world, he said, where there is a mother who is willing to marry her successful son to a woman who has children outside marriage, if there is, it is only Laura and some kind mothers in this world.
