Aurora: Yes, Mom. Leo is very similar to Galen.

Auckland city, New Zealand..

Three years passed quickly. Aurora could still remember the first time she set foot in this city. She lives with Sean and Briella before giving birth to Leo.

"Darling.. Come on, get ready! Play it later. Grandpa and grandma are longing, want to meet Leo again." Aurora said.

"Mother, want some chocolate." whine Leo.

"Later, baby, we'll have to take a shower first, we'll miss the plane."

In the end Leo agreed.

Briella and Jamessuami bule whom she married a year ago drove Aurora and Leo to the airport. Just for information, from her new husband, Briella was blessed with a baby girl. They gave the name Kate, an adorable baby with a face that was ninety-nine percent similar to James.

"Call me as soon as you land?" Briella's Message.

"Yes, Brie.." reply Aurora. "Leo, say goodbye to Aunt Briella and Uncle James."

Leo immediately hugged Briella and gave her a few farewell kisses, as did James.

"Gosh, this handsome guy. It seems like it's time to have a sister like Sean. If so, please make it happen immediately. Don't you miss having cute little creatures like Kate?" briella Goda.

"You're! Just like my husband, always ask a brother for Leo." Aurora replied.

"Leo is already three years old now, already big enough to have a sister."

"I'll think about it later. You know for yourself if getting pregnant is not easy let alone giving birth. I'm traumatized." murmured Aurora.

Briella sneered playfully, because she remembered Aurora had a smooth delivery, unlike Briella who had endured the pain of contractions for almost two days and two nights but ultimately Kate had to be born through cesarean section, feeling the two days and two nights struggle ended in vain.

"Very bad your family will not have additional new members because you've been traumatized" said Briella.

"You take it easy, Brie, we're gonna have a new member. But maybe later, not in the near future, we even plan to have three children, so that Leo will not feel lonely" explained Aurora.

"Good plan! We will wait for the birth of your second and third children." exclaimed Briella excitedly.

International airport..

15:55

"Welcome, granddad! Kangen not on grandpa?" funi Juniar's.

Sarah who felt anxious could not help herself to immediately give a hug to Leo. "Why is Grandma's granddaughter so moody?"

"So she kept whining for chocolate, Mom." Aurora replied.

"Brown? Leo wants chocolate?" ask Sarah to Leo.

"You.."

"Then we go buy chocolate there with grandparents." Sarah invited who made Leo smile brightly.

Leo follows Sarah and Juniar, who take him to a store that sells sweets and chocolates.

"Ah~ finally nothing bothers. Tired of your trip?" asked Austin who had been there but chose to be quiet.

The man was just letting Juniar and Sarah let go of his longing for the grandson first.

"Lumayan.." answered Aurora.

"I miss my wife very much, wanting a tight hug."

Aurora just put on a flat face.

"Where to kiss me, Aurora?"

Aurora was silent.

"Austin.." call Aurora.

"Yes, my wife?" answer Austin immediately.

"Can you take me somewhere before you go home?" ask Aurora.

"You yourself know the answer. I'll take you wherever you go, even if it's to the end of the world" Austin replied in exaggeration.

"Yes, then let's go now." take Aurora.

"But how is our son? The handsome Leo?"

"He will be safe and well together with father and mother." Aurora replied.

"So where are we headed?" ask Austin curiously.

"Let's talk to each other in the car during the ride. I'll tell you the purpose there."

"All right.."

Crematorium..

"Well, can't be trusted. You even remember the day of his death?"

Aurora nodded. "I remember it well. Two months right before Leo's birth."

"I think it's still the day after tomorrow."

"Today, Austin.." Aurora's correction.

Austin followed Aurora's light steps to her destination. There is an urn that holds the ashes of the late Mina.

Three years had the girl left this world, a place too cruel for a poor girl like her.

"Hi, Mina. Are you feeling happy now? Fly freely without feeling scared again. We are here to pray for you always, and do not worry about your mother too much, my husband and I have promised to be your successor to take care of her" Aurora said sincerely.

"Yes, Mina.we take very good care of him. So you can calm down now." added Austin.

That day when Galen was injured when Mina almost thrust the sharp knife right in Galen's chest, Mina suddenly jolted upon hearing Galen's invitation to die together.

I don't know what has made Mina immediately aware to contact medics, saying in a panicked voice if someone is injured and needs help immediately.

The girl was crying hysterically at what she had done to Galen. As soon as medics were about to reach the site, Mina ran towards the balcony, the rest of the power Galen had put in to prevent Mina. However, as darkness took over Galen's entire consciousness, the girl plunged free from the balcony of her tenth-floor apartment and breathed her last moment.

Nearly three years passed and the pain was still felt. Especially when Aurora listens to stories about Mina's past from Hani.

How Mina lost her womb due to the actions of her uncle who raped Mina to conceive and ended up aborted. But it causes a fatal infection in Mina's uterus so that the girl is forced to give up her uterus in order to save her life.
