~Ryuzen workspace
In his study, Ryuzen looked serious, his elbows on the table, with his fingers clasped together in front of his chin.
"Young master, this is your coffee."
Kenzo goes in to deliver the coffee Ryuzen requested, and puts it on the table.
"Thank you" Ryuzen replied.
"Is there anything else you want, sir? I'm glad to make it."
"No, this is enough."
Ryuzen began sipping his still hot coffee.
"Hows it? Yummy no Boss?" kenzo
"Honestly, I'm sorry to ask you to make it, but that's it, '" Ryuzen said, then put his coffee cup on the table.
"Sir..., may I ask you something?"
"About me and Sara?" reply Ryuzen.
Kenzo nodded confirming Ryuzen's words.
"Sir, what's the reason you're married to Miss Sara because she's Little Lord's mother?" ask Kenzo
"You could say it was one of them," Ryuzen replied with a serious look.
"What's the real reason? Honestly, I don't believe that if you even think about getting married, you don't, you suddenly decide to get married just because of that" Kenzo said.
"I just don't want Arvin to feel what I used to feel" Ryuzen said in a heavy voice that sounded more like an expression of disappointment.
Hearing that Kenzo was even more confused by Ryuzen's words, he explained and asked, "I mean, you were also in the position of little master, is that so?"
"I've been in the same position as Arvin, never seen my real father. Maybe Arvin was more fortunate, because I found out sooner. As for me.., until now I have never seen the man directly," said Ryuzen who is currently holding a sense of sadness and disappointment in his heart.
"Your master...?"
"I don't want to be a jerk, like the descendants of the men in the former Han family. My grandfather made the mistake of having a grandmother part with his only son for decades, and that man (Her father Ryuzen) who he is today, had to leave his son and wife without a message,"
"Even until my mother dies, she doesn't show up. Instead of being called Dad, maybe that guy is more suitable to be called trash!" said Ryuzen who still looks calm, but his angry gaze is clearly visible from the look of his sharp eyes.
*Flashback 26 years ago.
The little Ryuzen, then four years old, was grieving beside his mother who was lying weakly in the hospital.
"Mother.you must heal no matter how you must heal. If you recover I promise, I'll find you for me" Ryuzen told his dying mother.
Laulin touched his son's head with the remnants of the energy he had.
"Ryu., promise me you'll grow up to be a great man later on. Be amazing as your father, son," Laulin said in a voice so raucous, and weak. Ryuzen could not help but cry as he held his mother's hand and held her firmly.
"No, I don't want to be like the father who left us. All I want is to see Mom healed" said little Ryuzen in tears.
"R... Ryu, Mom's time is not much. Later when you have lived with your grandparents, you must be a submissive child. I know you're a very smart kid so just stick to them, yeah," said Laulin, whose voice grew weaker and almost speechless.
"I don't want to live with Grandpa, I want to be with Mom. Grandpa bad guy, I don't like him, Mother please don't leave me! Mum...!!" Ryuzen was crying. Laulin's heart rate grew weaker, his breathing began to dissipate a little.
"Ryuzen Han, I love you and I just want to tell you that... Jordan Han is .... the best man I've ever loved..."
That sentence was the last sentence Laulin said in front of Ryuzen at the time, as well as the last sentence in Laulin's life that had now breathed his last.

After the funeral of the Mother, Ryuzen looks at the photo of the late Mother in the Funeral House.Jerumi Han also comes with her aides, and orders them to take little Ryuzen to stay at Han's residence, where she is staying, as the main heir to Emerald.
"Ryuzen, from today on you will be staying with grandfather!" yerumi Han said in her haughty style.
And from then on, little Ryuzen was no longer the old Ryuzen, a four-year-old boy in general. He must be willing to accept his destiny as the main heir to the Emerald group.
"Mother, even though I don't like grandpa because he doesn't like you. For the sake of fulfilling your request, from today on I will stay with her and grandma at the Han residence. You want me to be a great guy, right? I will do that, even I swear I will be a thousand times more powerful than Yerumi or Jordan Han, so that no one will dare to oppose, or fight me!"
From that day on, Ryuzen's heart began to be shrouded in dark clouds, with no light illuminating it. He changed both his attitude and his way of looking at life.
~Han family main residence.
"From today you Ryuzen Han, will be my grandson the heir to the Emerald, ", Yerumi said as Ryuzen first set foot in the magnificent Han residence.
The sound of footsteps rang down the stairs, a middle-aged woman who still looked beautiful, with the man and woman to her left right down the stairs.
"My granddaughter, I can finally see you," said the woman approaching Ryuzen, she's Ivy Han, Ryuzen's grandmother.
"grandmother?" ryuzen said with a plain look.
"I'm sorry grandma just saw you, baby. From today I will take care of you," Grandma hugged Ryuzen lovingly.
"Grandmother's embrace is warm, almost similar to a mother's embrace," little Ryuzen's inner embrace when hugged by her grandmother. After hugging Ryuzen, the grandmother let go of the hug and began to introduce Ryuzen to her brother.
"Ryuzen.., this is Miya she's your father's niece and your sister and certainly my first grandchild, while this is Henri Ang her husband." Grandma introduces Miya and Henri (His parents Rony Ang) to Ryuzen.
"I'm Ryuzen Han, greetings!" ryuzen introduced himself.
Since then, Ryuzen has been named the heir to the Emerald Group. And from that moment on, the warm smile on Ryuzen's face began to fade little by little.
*Flashback done
Given that Ryuzen looks so emotional, he is angry and disappointed but does not want to show his weak side to anyone.
"I never knew, in spite of Mr. Ryuzen's cold, arrogant, and merciless attitude, that he held his own deep sorrow. Sir.., take it easy, I will always be loyal to you and will not betray you" Kenzo said in his heart.

In the room, Sara was lying next to Arvin, stroking the head of her son who was now sound asleep.
"Dear Calvin, Mami has granted you a wish. Now you have complete parents, so you don't have to be sad every time you see other kids with their parents."
Sara then kissed Arvin on the forehead, Arvin who to Sara today looks like a little angel that God gave her. Sara, who could not imagine her life without Arvin, could only look at the ceiling, staring at each side of the room for no reason. He blinked and exhaled, as if throwing away his weight.
"Today, this second, I'm no longer entangled by a trap called Ryuzen Han, but I've fallen to the bottom of his abyss. But how else, I've already fallen into it," said Sara resigned to her current fate.
"Will I be happy with a marriage like this? Will I find true love for my life? Can the flowers in my heart still bloom beautifully? Lord.., if this is fate help me live it, if this is punishment help me get through it, but if these two let me be sincere about everything."
Sara finally closed her beautiful eyes, hoping that her life would be happy in the future.
