My Little Gwen's
The return of that warmth

"Daddy??" asked Sheza to confirm that his ears were not misheard. His eyes looked at Ganial asking for an explanation. Because he did not dare to ask Zaki for an explanation directly.

"You didn't hear Sheza wrong" Zaki said.

"As per our agreement, I need your help pretending to be a sucks wife-to-be. You have to pretend to be a mad woman of treasure. You must dare to go against my son. Either way you have to be the woman my son hates" Zaki explained.

"You can't call me master or uncle, then you have to call me daddy, like a sugar daddy" Zaki continued.

Sheza noticed every explanation Zaki had. A role contrary to his personality.

"That means I can do anything, sir? But what if your son would throw me out, who would defend me?", Sheza asked

"The role of being someone who is hated certainly needs people who defend and support the master" Sheza said again.

"Don't worry about Sheza, me or Ganial will be there for you" Zaki replied.

"Alright sir, I'm very relieved" Sheza said.

"May I ask sir?, what exactly are you doing all this for?", Sheza asked.

"It's not against your son that it makes him further away from you" Sheza said.

Zaki exhaled violently, as if he wanted to let go of all the heavy burden he had on his mind.

"For my son to remain by my side, I will do anything. Even if I have to be the one he hates. I'm asking you to do bad things so he hates you and forbids me from getting married. As a child, he definitely did not want if there was a woman who only wanted to take advantage of his father. If he forbids me from getting married, then instead I have a reason to force him to stay by my side to continue my business" Zaki explained

"Now I understand the reason, sir. I will try my best to unite father and son" Sheza said.

"Sheza, can you please not call me master. Don't mind what I said, I was just kidding. Call me daddy, not as sugar daddy, but really as daddy, as a dad just like your dad" Zaki said gently.

"I once promised that if you could do your part well, then I would open a secret to you. I'll give you a little hint. You're not Arshaka and Veeya's son. I knew both your parents and your background until you were taken care of by Arshaka. That's why you should call me daddy, think of me as your real father's replacement" Zaki said.

Like lightning in broad daylight, Sheza was shocked by Zaki's words. For a moment Sheza was speechless hearing the truth that Zaki had revealed. Sheza was eager to know all the truth.

"Tu... sir can you tell me all the truth?", pleaded Sheza.

Zaki smiled gently. "There will be a time for Sheza. And it's not now, you have to carry out your role properly first according to our agreement".

Sheza was speechless Curiosity filled her brain, but Sheza knew herself, she couldn't possibly force Zaki.

"Hmm... master again??" said Zaki with a frown, as if reminding Sheza.

"Ba.. good daddy", said Sheza trying to get used to the call.

"Good good boy" said Zaki smiling.

Next Zaki tells how Zafier's childhood, how Zafier's habits and personality. About how Zaki's guilt for not caring about Zafier after his wife's death, thus making Zafier leave his homeland. But Zaki did not mention at all about the existence of little Gwen, and also how much small Gwen meant to her family, especially to Zafier.

That closeness melts the frozen relationship of Zaki and Sheza. They seem familiar even laughing together when Zaki tells the cute behavior of little Zafier.

Not far from Zaki and Sheza, it seems that Ganial noticed their behavior. Ganial smiled, there was a feeling of relief in his heart. He could see Zaki laughing. It was like seeing Zaki before his wife died. Zaki is friendly, patient and full of warmth. Zaki seems to meet friends sharing stories, as if finding his missing daughter.

Ganial still remembers, the first little Gwen often entrusted to Alexa wife Zaki, because Both parents Gwen is equally busy pioneering their new business. Zafier and little Gwen became very close because they often played together. Zafier who is an only child is very happy to get a playmate. Even in his daily life Zafier teases Gwen more with her pranks than playing together.

Alexa and Zaki consider little Gwen to be their own daughter. Moreover, Zaki is desperate to have a daughter after the birth of his son Zafier.

Zaki and Zafier sometimes compactly tease little Gwen, and Alexa is Gwen's protector from the father and son's pranks. Their house was noticeably more crowded, although the crowd was due to the annoyed cries of little Gwen being disturbed by Zafier.

The deaths of Gwen's parents and Gwen's disappearance become a blow and a severe ordeal for the Zaki family. Zaki has deployed his men to look for little Gwen. But never found.

Zaki's house became very quiet. Everyone feels very lost. Alexa became sickly, losing Gwen was like losing her own daughter. Zaki actually also felt very lost but he tried to look stronger. Zafier was also devastated, and Zafier became quieter and more reserved..Zafier's cheer disappears along with Gwen's disappearance.

All the changes that occurred were not separated from Ganial's memory. Ganial's reverie ends with the end of Zaki and Sheza's encounter. Before leaving Sheza grabbed Zaki by the hand and kissed him, as Sheza had done when his father was alive. Zaki then held Sheza's head gently.

Zaki fell silent, this reminded him of a memory in the past, when little Gwen who would run to meet him every time he came home from work. Little Gwen will kiss his hand, after which she herself will hold Gwen and kiss little Gwen on the forehead. Then the little Gwen who was still in her arms would pout and stick her tongue out at Zafier, as little Gwen felt she had managed to take Zafier's daddy. For a moment Zaki's eyes condensed.

_______

Day by day, Zaki and Sheza's relationship is getting closer. A pure relationship between father and son. Zaki seems to be rediscovering his missing daughter. Sheza seemed to find the figure of the father who had long abandoned him.

Every moment Sheza will remind Zaki of meal times and rest times. Even if Zaki happens to be in P City, Sheza will accompany Zaki to lunch or dinner. They joke like father and son.

Sheza's activities in the company also went as usual, but Sheza and Karen were then assigned to the financial division under Carlos.

Zaki wants Sheza to master more about the financial management of the company. And Carlos was assigned to teach Sheza. It was a hard test for Carlos.

Seeing Sheza every day is fun for her but it fosters her feelings for Sheza. Fortunately there is always Karen who will always remind and resuscitate Carlos where Carlos position should be.
