My Angel Baby's
Bye Bandung, Hello Jakarta

"Did you know, this is Sofia. He is the one who will replace me in the future. And thank you for the excellent cooperation that has been given to me during this one year" Ane's welcome made some of her close friends surprised.

There was no wind and no rain. Suddenly at a routine meeting held every Monday morning, Ane said goodbye and introduced a woman who was his age to be his successor.

"Sorry, Ane's mom isn't kidding, is she?" cut Ayu suddenly, not expecting what Ane has said.

"No, I'm very serious. I had to join my husband to settle in Jakarta because the time he gave to seek experience in this office was enough. And everything turned out to be going very well" Ane said with a gentle smile.

The employees who know him well certainly feel very lost with the news that Ane conveyed.

"I interviewed myself and decided that Sofia would be accepted into the company. And I am very confident that in the future you will be able to work well together. Now, can you introduce yourself directly, ma'am Sofia" said Ane gave an opportunity to Sofia for an introduction.

While he himself who was back sitting in his place should get a sharp look with glazed neutrals from Ayu.

"Mbak Ane why the rush really go? The flutter was also so sudden. Doesn't Ane care about how I feel about being devastated by your departure?" kuh Ayu dramatized the situation with tears that had flowed.

"You're nothing at all, Yu. We can still call, video call can also" said Ane casually, he did not think that Ayu's expression would be this much.

"There is, of course, an urgent interest in what makes Ane leave me here alone?" ask Ayu again.

"Tomorrow Johan's birthday, Yu. Since Lia is also on a school holiday, I have to return to Jakarta as soon as possible so that I can celebrate Johan's birthday" Ane whispered, while Sofia is still doing introductions and there are still question and answer sessions with other colleagues.

"I'll miss you as much as Ane. Just try if Pak Bima wants to be with me, surely I was brought also to Jakarta so that it could be a neighbor mbak Ane" said Ayu had joked amid his sadness.

"Oh, don't worry. Later I will send greetings from you to Mr. Bima, yes" challenged Ane.

"Don't mbak, I'm just kidding" said Ayu who can already chuckle softly.

And today, Ane is only in the office until the handover ceremony with Sofia is completed.

Afterwards, Vicky and Lia pick him up to go to Jakarta.

Using the land route, the three of them enjoyed being together. With the help of several cars to transport their goods.

Intentionally Ane wants to go by land only because all of you want quality time together.

Arriving in Jakarta is almost dusk, they still have to rest to relieve fatigue.

And it turns out that Abraham and Suzy have prepared a special room for Lia that they deliberately decorate themselves.

"Welcome to our home, dear" greeted Abraham who stood beside Suzy, and there was also Johan who greeted them.

"Thank you, grandma and grandpa. I also miss you very much Jo" said Lia while hugging one by one of them.

"I miss you a lot too, Lia" replied Johan with a smile.

"You must be so tired, son. We have prepared a room for you. Rest first, we will meet again at dinner" said Abraham while herding his beloved grandson to the second floor.

Letting Vicky and Viviane follow from behind. They both seem very happy with the message from Abraham and Suzy who are very welcome to Lia.

"This is Lia's room?" asked Lia with sparkling eyes.

"Yes, do you like it?" ask Suzy.

"I like it so much, Grandma. Thank you" Lia said as she hugged her grandmother.

"You don't want to hug me too, Lia? Grandfathers were involved in preparing all this" Abraham said like a sulking child.

Everyone laughed happily, Lia hugged the two old men affectionately. Makes Johan really feel bad.

The little man just stood glued and looked at the happiness of the family in silence. Knowing the old story of the Alexander family that had to fall apart because of the actions of his mother, made Johan feel excluded even though everyone still loved him.

Johan hopes that Vicky will keep his promise to seek his father's freedom and that he can stay with his father alone.

Now, Lia was alone in her room. The most luxurious room he ever had. With her favorite pink bed. And the large window with a beautiful curtain is in line with the paint on the walls pink salem.

Without having time to clean up, Lia fell asleep because she felt tired after traveling a few hours from Bandung to Jakarta.

Feeling that she was sleeping for only a short time, Lia had to be awakened by an ART as it was approaching dinner time.

"Non, Non Lia. Let's get up, it's dinner soon. I've been assigned by the master and mistress to call non Lia" said an art from behind the door, waking Lia who was fast asleep.

Lucky Lia including a child who is easily awakened, although her eyes still feel sticky, but Lia has woken up and disobeyed the words of the woman who is still behind the door.

"Yes, I've woken up" Lia said lazily.

And after finishing with her bathroom business, Lia immediately changed clothes and went out of the room to join the others at the dining table.

"Hi baby, can you rest well?" greet Abraham, even before Lia sat in her chair.

"Very good, kek" Lia replied with a smile, and sat sweetly next to Johan.

All the members of the family had gathered together, Vicky and Viviane were sitting next to each other. While Abraham sat on the seat at the end of the oling accompanied by Suzy near him. And there is Johan next to Suzy who makes Lia choose to sit near Johan.

They ate in silence, but a happy atmosphere was seen from the look on everyone's face. Unlike when Ruby was the young mistress of Alexander, the dislike of the two old men made the atmosphere worse.

No one discussed Johan's birthday tomorrow, making Lia impatient to ask.

"Aren't you having a birthday tomorrow, Jo? Did you guys have a party ready for him?" lia asked breaking the silence.

Everyone looked at each other, but there was actually already a small party that was deliberately prepared specifically for Johan.

"Of course we've prepared a party for him. You think we'll just shut up, honey?" said Abraham.

"No need to bother, cake. Although there is no party nor does it matter" said Johan who is increasingly self-aware, he is no one in this family.

"Of course there has to be a party, Jo. Although simple, it is important that we and our family can celebrate your birthday. It's a special day for you, so it should be celebrated dong" said Lia who wanted to surprise Johan.

"Anyways, tomorrow there's gonna be a simple party for you Jo. Or do you want to party by inviting your friends, too?" asked Lia who was more excited than Johan.

"No Lia, simple is enough for me. I'll be very grateful" Johan said.

"You're so sweet, Jo" Viviane said with her sweet smile, she was so proud of Johan's attitude.

Viviane doesn't know if the little guy's feelings are so fragile since she knows about his background.

Until the longer he was in this family, the more he made his heart feel very guilty towards Lia.

Especially since he was friends with Lia, Johan was already very suitable and determined to always be there if Lia needed him. Because indeed the life of Lia who was once very simple is contrary to his luxurious life. Though all the luxuries were actually Lia's.

When Lia felt there was nothing to worry about, there was growing guilt in Johan.
