Stranger's In Love
28|MY LITTLE GIRL

It's still hard to believe Irene is Doctor Ainsley's daughter. Zean who understood this atmosphere chose to come out for a while, from his apartment and let Irene and Doctor Ainsley talk.

“I miss you, mom” said Irene, her tears growing into the arms of Doctor Ainsley.

Irene missed her mother so much. It's been about seven years since that night, the night she ran away to the airport following Ainsley, but she suffered a near-death event if Alice did not help her that night. Irene never hated Ainsley, even though Ainsley left without saying anything to Irene. Ainsley left with a million question marks that always filled Irene's mind.

“Mianhae” said Doctor Ainsley to his daughter. (in Korean mianhae means sorry)

All this time Ainsley always tried to keep looking okay, but it hurt him slowly especially when he saw Caroline and Geraldine– - his two children Ainsley. He felt like he had lied to his two children, because they did not know the pain that Ainsley had been sick for so long.

Ainsley Ricardo was a famous surgeon who also doubles as a general practitioner only when there is no specific surgery schedule. Ainsley Ricardo has been used to traveling out of town or abroad to serve as a surgeon. While Daniel Ricardo is a well-known entrepreneur owner of the world's Ricardo Golden Group, he also has the same busyness with his wife who is accustomed to traveling outside to run his business affairs. His two children, Geraldine and Caroline, are used to the busy lives of their father and mother. Geraldine and Caroline grew up to be independent children, although sometimes the side of the effect is seen when the parents are at home or when not on duty outside.

Ainsley arrives at the airport, he accidentally does not tell Daniel Ricardo–his husband that he returned to Boston today. He heads home to prepare a surprise dinner for his family, as Daniel and his two children have no idea Ainsley is back today. Arriving at home, Ainsley was a little disappointed to find Daniel's car in the garage, which meant that her husband was at home. Ainsley decides to stay in, he will compromise with Daniel to make a surprise dinner for Geraldine and Caroline.

Ainsley passed through the middle room, he stopped observing the room. There was a bottle of vodka and two small glasses on the table. Looks like Daniel wasn't home alone, was there a guest? But where Daniel why this house feels lonely.

“Is Daniel in his study?” ainsley asked himself and headed to work, but when he got there, quiet, Daniel was not there.

Ainsley was thinking of going to the room, maybe Daniel was resting in the room. Ainsley opened the large and elegant wooden door of the room. The deg! As soon as Ainsley's heart stopped beating, she gulped, her eyes unblinking, watching as Daniel was engrossed in sex with a woman he recognized as her husband's private secretary. Ainsley's world collapsed, he cursed all the love he had given Daniel. This man who became her husband, the man she loved so much could betray her.

“Damn! You such a jerk, Daniel Ricardo!!” ainsley shouted, his body trembling trying to hold back this anger and pain. He mustn't look weak in front of this bastard and bitch.

Daniel and the woman stopped and turned to the doorway, and Daniel was surprised to find Ainsley staring intently at him. Daniel could clearly see the disappointment in Ainsley's eyes. Stupid, what Daniel did.

“Ainsley” Daniel goes. But immediately Ainsley rushed away, he felt disgusted to talk to Daniel who could betray his love.

“Daniel!” call the woman who fucked Daniel earlier, but Daniel ignored her. Daniel grabbed his pants and put them on and chased Ainsley.

“Damn you! Sleep with me but you still love your super busy wife!” the woman shouted at Daniel who had gone out of the room to immediately chase Ainsley.

Daniel blocks Ainsley's hand and pulls her into his arms, but with all his might Ainsley tries to encourage Daniel to let go. Daniel tightened his arms until Ainsley gave up, crying in Daniel's arms.

“I'm sorry, Ainsley” said Daniel sounded sincere because he was truly sorry for his actions.

Ainsley shook his head in disbelief at what Daniel said, after what he did with the street woman, Daniel easily apologized to her. Ainsley had run out of words, for the actions of Daniel that hurt him so much.

“I'm sorry, Ainsley” he said again.

“I hate you, Daniel. I curse every word of love I ever said to you, I hate you more than I love you. Stop this, Daniel! Stopit! Hiks... hiks...” Ainsley sobbed with difficulty he said that sentence.

Ainsley was still trying to push Daniel's chest away from her, but Daniel held her so tightly that Ainsley could feel pain in her body.

“I won't let you go, Ainsley. I'm sorry, I love you” Daniel told Ainsley, still sobbing with tears.

Daniel decays, knowing full well that he has hurt the woman he loves so much. Daniel regretted hurting Ainsley because his heart also hurt when he saw the tears that dripped from the eyes of this woman because of him.

“Let go of me, Daniel” said Ainsley in despair.

Daniel shook his head, he looked at Ainsley who was crying in his arms. His heart ached at the sight of Ainsley at this moment, Daniel regretted. Daniel outlines his embrace, he gives up on his woman, he can't see her as she is today.

“I'm sorry, Ainsley” Daniel said for the umpteenth time. This is the only word Daniel can say right now.

Ainsley smiled as she wiped her tears. “Thanks, Daniel. Thanks for the pain and disappointment this” he said then he left Daniel who just kept silent while continuing to look at him.

Seeing Ainsley go away it felt like Daniel had lost something most valuable in his life. Never mind, this was the result of his mistake, he had hurt Ainsley. I don't know what's on Daniel's mind so he can fuck Carla Darbost– her personal secretary. As she recalled, Carla took her out for a drink together and then she got a little drunk and then, yeah like that, she made love to Carla. Daniel now feels like the most evil man on earth, because he has made Ainsley - the woman he loves so much - hate him.

“Don't cry, mom. It's all over, now mom meets me, Caroline's little mom” daughter Irene hugged Doctor Ainsley.

Irene elaborated on her embrace, she stared at the veiled face of her mother who was crying after telling her everything that happened in the past and that was the reason why her mother chose to leave.

“I'm sorry mom who never met you and Geraldine. Even mom never told you. It was because mom did not want to deal with Daniel anymore, it would only make it harder for mom to be able to forget him, even mom had returned to the Lathecia Family. And because mom is sure that you will be better and safer if you stay with Daniel and live as the Ricardo” Family, explained Dr. Ainsley.

Irene shed tears, she sadly recalled the events of seven years ago when she was shot that night. Irene had not lived up to Ainsley's expectations, Irene did not live with Daniel even now she is the adopted child of the Banner Family. Geraldine hates Ainsley, who is lost without news.

“I'm sorry, mom. I didn't live as Mom expected. I'm not Caroline Ricardo, but I'm Irene Banner” said Irene, explaining everything to Doctor Ainsley.

“Since the first time when mom checked you earlier, your face looks familiar but your name is very foreign to mom. What happened to you?” ask Doctor Ainsley.

Irene told all the events of the night until Alice who helped and raised her to be a sister and her love story with Zean. Doctor Ainsley cried, laughed, got angry, heard Irene's story.

“You are my tough daughter. You have grown into a tough adult girl” said Ainsley trying to strengthen her daughter.

“Mom, now I know. The more painful thing from falling is, Irene still remembers her past conversation with her mother while playing roller skates.

Doctor Ainsley smiled, hugged his daughter. “Yes, you're right”

“Mom” call Irene.

Doctor Ainsley outlined her embrace then looked at Irene. “What's up?”

“Don't call me Caroline again, because Caroline Ricardo died seven years ago. And I'm Irene Banner. I'm still a little girl, but my name is Irene Banner” Irene, Irene, he remembered his promise to Alice that no one could separate them as sister and sister, nor did Irene ever find her family again.

Doctor Ainsley smiled then nodded in agreement. “Whatever your name is, you're still my little daughter”
