Six Years Later.

The news came from Diana. The middle-aged woman who was also Isobelle's adoptive mother died of severe illness. Despite having been in intensive care for an entire year, in fact fate willed another.

Diana's funeral was accompanied by many friends and acquaintances who were close to Diana during life. As a foster child, Audrey was very sad. He even fainted several times while in the hospital and the funeral procession.

"Mama .." Audrey's inner cry. He could not see the photo embedded in Diana's tombstone.

Audrey knelt down and sat down, "Mama .. "call Audrey sobbing.

How could Audrey take away the wonderful memories she made with Diana? for her Diana was the figure of a second Mother who was dear to her sincerely. The two always share their joys and sorrows. Always look for solutions together, when in a problem or precarious situation.

Diana was not only caring and loving for Audrey. He also loved his two twin grandchildren. Cello and Cella. The twins are often invited to travel inside, or outside the city, even abroad by Diana.

Seeing her best friend slumped, Sherlyn knelt down and hugged Audrey. She also cried, feeling the loss of the late Diana. Diana was also a mother figure.

"Keep your heart, Re. You know, this is not what Mama Diana wanted" Sherlyn whispered.

Audrey shook her head, "I can't stand it, Lyn. Mama is always with me every day even .. even .. until the last seconds we were together. I can't lose it, no!" audrey said with tears.

"I knew. Must be heavy. But you have to remember, you have Cello and Cella who will surely be sad to see Mama like this. Look, they keep staring at you with a confused feeling" Sherlyn said.

Audrey wiped her tears. She looked at Cello and Cella who were with Nicholas not far from her. Isobelle smiled. He spread out his arms to welcome his two twins.

"Cello, Cella .. Come here, son." said Audrey.

Cello and Cella stared at each other, then looked at Nicholas together. Nicholas rubbed the heads of Cello and Cella. Asking the two to approach Audrey immediately.

"Go away. Meet your Mama," Nicholas said.

Cello and Cella nodded their heads. Immediately the two walked slowly closer to Audrey and hugged Audrey who was still kneeling.

Audrey clutches her two children, "I'm sorry Mama, honey. You must be surprised to see a mother like this. Sorry," said Audrey.

Cello took off a hug, "No, Ma. Mama is sad because Grandma is gone. We did too" said Cello, wiping Audrey's tears.

"Mom don't be sad anymore, yeah. We'll cry too" Celle said tearfully, wanting to cry.

Audrey smilingly looked at her two twins in turn. He was comforted by the words of his two children.

Audrey wiped her tears, "You see, right. Mama's not crying anymore." continued Audrey.

Cello and Cella are back together to poke Audrey. They love Audrey more than anything in the world. They were also very respectful and obedient to Audrey. For Cello and Cella, her Mama is the Fairy Godmother who came down to earth to be her Mama.

"Well, let's pray and say goodbye to Grandma. We're going home after this" Audrey said, asking her two children to pray for Diana.

Cello and Cella close their eyes and pray. They both had the same plea, which was to ask God to give a house that was the best for the late Diana.

Audrey, Sherlyn and Nicholas also prayed for Diana. They prayed for Diana's calmness up there.  When they finished, they all said goodbye and went home.

The day before she died, Diana asked Audrey to continue managing the Gallery and all of her assets. Diana bequeathed all of her wealth to Audrey, as Audrey was the only family. Although only a foster daughter. Diana even immediately asked her lawyer to be her witness in handing over the authority and responsibility of the Gallery to Audrey. Diana tells her lawyer that if Audrey gets into trouble, her staff will have to help Audrey. Because Audrey's a precious child.

Audrey refused, she didn't want anything. All she wanted was Diana's recovery. With a smile Diana gave her final piece of advice, if Audrey should remain strong, there or without her by Audrey's side.

"You are the little star, the dark one of my nights, Re. Before I met you, I was just busy working and working, not knowing what it was like to enjoy life. After meeting you, every second of my life changes. You let me know and understand that life is beautiful. Many things we encounter other than just collecting money and working behind a computer screen. You also always complain that I'm Lenbur, right. Nagging is not clear until sometimes angry. Haahh .. (sighs) a lot of things I experienced, but I can't call them one by one" Diana said at length.

"Mama is healing. I can't do anything without Mama" Audrey said, hugging Diana's hand.

"You should be able to, baby. Whether or not I am by your side, you must be strong and able to survive any circumstances. Remember, there are two little angels who still need your protection. Mama is sure, Mama's beloved Rere can change the future of the Gallery and manage it well. Mama trusts you. Don't refuse my mother's request, yes. This is all you can give me." said Diana.

Audrey is speechless. He continued to cry because he did not want to lose the figure of Diana. Seeing Audrey who was sad and crying to the point of not making a sound, made Diana feel sad. But he was also no longer able to survive because he had reached his limits. Diana rubbed Audrey's head with her left hand. He prays for the future of Audrey, Cello and Cella. Wishing her daughter and two grandchildren always a happy smile.

Her night. After reading a storybook and waiting for her two children to fall asleep, Audrey leaves the twins room to return to her room. Just as she closes the door, Audrey is called by Sherly who invites her to drink wine.

"Are the children asleep?", asked Sherlyn, who was waiting in front of the twins.

"Yes, already. You waiting here? since when?" ask Audrey.

"Not long. About five minutes ago. You want to go straight to sleep? wanna have some wine with me, won't you?" bargain Sherlyn with sparkling eyes.

Audrey smiled, "Can I turn down your offer of speaking with such a face? come on, I happen to want a drink too." replied Audrey accepting Sherlyn's offer.

Sherlyn cheered happily. She managed to make Audrey melt with just her sparkling eyes. Sherlyn had other goals. She wanted Audrey to not feel lonely and to dissolve in sadness again when she went back into the room. Therefore he invited Audrey to drink, so that he could give a little consolation to Audrey.
