" You know, the hardest thing in the world is not longing, but REGRET. Regret teaches us that there are things in this world that cannot be repeated. So appreciate what you have now "

After getting to know each other, the three engaged in a warm chat. Grandma Eliza took Aunt Ema and Dani to have a light conversation in her room.
“Tante, how can I go to grandma's store.?” ask Dani who served two cups of warm tea for grandma and aunt Ema.
“Please on drink, aunt.?” said Dani.
“Please on a drink, son Ema.” added grandma Eliza as well.
“Thank you.” Politely, Aunt Ema sipped a warm tea served by Dani, accompanied by Eliza's grandmother.
“Emm, so smart you Dani, your homemade tea is delicious.”
“Thank you, aunt.”
“But, your hand why Dani..?”
“Iya, why is it dear?” ask Eliza's grandmother who just noticed it.
“Oh this? Yesterday Dani was washing dishes, the story helped auntie, uh because it was slippery, the plate was off the handle Dani, and it eventually broke, and because of lack of care, when Dani picked up the broken plate, which was the first dish, dani's hand scratched.“
“Other times be careful dear..” said grandmother Eliza with her anxious face.
"Yes grandma.."
“Oh yes aunt, Dani's question has not been answered, why reach Dani's grandmother's store?”
“Oh that? Look.., the story yesterday met aunty college friend, a short story, aunty played to his house, and in the bread suguhi from your grandmother's shop, and that makes aunty addicted, this loh, this, this shredded bread, it feels unequaled, know this is your grandmother's shop, yesterday aunt played here with the password call your name, definitely free right, hehe..?” aunt Ema's claws in the laughter of Dani and Eliza's grandmother.
“Ooo, so. Ohhh..!! Dani forgot auntie, grandma, Dani was here with her bodyguard mas Daniel, bentar ya aunty, grandma, Dani invite me in first, kasian wait outside..” said Dani while out approaching Nathan who was still in the car.
“Hemm, habit of forgetting..” said grandma with a smile.
“Good son. Emm, if you may know, mommy and dad Dani where grandma, how come I didn't see her.?”
Hearing Aunt Ema's question, Eliza's grandmother stared at her for a moment, a smile adorning both corners of her wrinkled lips, but still leaving a mark of beauty in her youth. Eliza's grandmother's gaze turned to Dani who was outside and could be seen from inside through the glass wall in front of the bakery.
“Since the age of 15 years ago, the child has been abandoned both parents. Tragically, the hit-and-run accident took the lives of my son and daughter-in-law, and made my beloved grandson an orphan.” A drop of tears began to fall down Eliza's grandmother's cheeks.
“Sorry Grandma, I don't mean reminding my grandmother's time, again sorry.?”
“It's okay to Ema..” replied the grandmother while wiping her tears with a tissue.
“Tragically again, the impactor ran away, and ran away from responsibility. We can only surrender and be sincere with the destiny that God has given to our family.”
“If you can know, it happens where, grandma?” ask aunty Ema who is sympathetic with grandma or with Dani.
“On cendrawasih road, close to residential area. It was raining so hard, and without feeling guilty the impactor just ran away.” Aunt Ema gasped at Grandma's explanation.
A...what..? Cendrawasih street..? I...that's...right...?
Aunt Ema's face turned deathly pale. The world feels narrow and cramped. It felt as if his chest tightness recalled the past events that until now were still evident in his brain.
God.so beautiful is the way you meet the guilty with your resigned servant.
Aunt Ema sighed heavily. He tried to calm his heart. And speak with the usual attitude.
Meanwhile, Nathan is waiting in the car, idly opening his phone. Look through the contents of his photo gallery. And his eyes were fixed on a photo that made him smile and it was a photo of Dani that he accidentally took while he was in Phuket yesterday.
“Very you Andani Putri.” muttered Nathan grinning himself.
The car door's knock surprised Nathan. Spontaneously he was aghast as he looked to the side. He saw Dani bowing his body and with a very sweet smile to him.
Non Dani..?
Nathan murmured that swallowed his saliva.
Haduhh, that was non Dani had seen no huh..?
Nathan hurriedly turned off his phone and put it in his pants pocket, to open the car door immediately.
“A...what's non.?” nathan asked nervously, for fear that Dani might see what he saw on his phone earlier.
“Sorry Nathan, I forgot to take you in, let's go inside, I've made you warm tea.”
“Teh warm..? Sorry non, if you may ask, non spit up standing here?” nathan asked curiously.
“Just now, why..?”.
Thank God, non Dani didn't see what I was doing.
Nathan stroked his chest, a sign that he was relieved, because his employer did not know that he saw the picture earlier.
“No papa really, non.” Nathan smiles and follows Dani's steps into his bakery.
“Tante, grandma.., introduce this personal bodyguard mas Daniel..” said Dani who came along with Nathan.
“Tante, grandma...” said Nathan who took turns shaking hands with the two. Dani invited Nathan to sit with them.
“Alright, then excuse me first, there is still important business because.” said aunt Ema politely.
“Loh kok rush nak Ema.”
“Iya grandma, next time I will come here again, and talk to grandma.”
“Be careful son Ema.”
“Iya aunty, be careful, greetings to papa aunty.?” Aunt Ema gave her thumbs up and hurriedly walked out of the bakery that belonged to Dani's grandmother.
Now guilt again enveloped the widow's heart. During the trip, Aunt Ema unceasingly took a breath and exhaled very heavily, as if a load of thousands of tons were falling on her head and smothering her chest.
“I must immediately meet Wijaya.” murmured aunt Ema who increasingly fast forward his car. The younger brother of Wijaya Permana was indeed very good at driving, because when he was young, he liked to participate in car racing on the circuit.
Before long, Aunt Ema arrived at the main house, where her sister, Vijaya Permana lived and at the same time where she lives today. Aunt Ema was seen rushing out of the car, and walked quickly into the house.
“Mas..? Mas Wijaya's.” Call aunt Ema with a panicked face.
“Ema..? What are you screaming at calling me.” said Mr. Wijaya who came out from inside, and followed by Ken, his loyal bodyguard.
"Can we talk four eyes, mas.?” aunt Ema asked, and lord Wijaya immediately coded Ken to leave them both.
As soon as Ken left the two of them, Aunt Ema immediately pulled her brother's hand to enter the workspace that was often used by Mr. Wijaya to complete all the tasks of his office, feeling more confused.
“Ema, what is it exactly?” ask Mr. Wijaya who does not understand his sister's behavior. After being inside Auntie Ema started talking.
“Again, really-treat.!”
“What's..? I don't understand what you mean.?”
“Ahhh, Ema was very surprised and at the same time afraid.” said aunt Ema who held her head and several times paced, making Mr. Wijaya even more confused.
