The Dancer (The Story of a Single Parent, Who Became a Night Dancer)
SP 17'S
~Sincere men~
As a man, Jerry was so sorry for making a woman who did not have any ties to him, get dragged into an argument he and his Papa.
Jerry has never once explained why he brought Gladis into his life, but a million questions are in Gladis' mind but he is unable to question it.
"I'll put some guards to take care of you as well as Shine, again I apologize for getting you carried away in my family's troubles." Jerry opened the door for Gladis.
Gladis was silent, he did not want to say a word.
"Gladis, I'll pick you up again, rest assured, I won't hurt you and Shine, I love Shine with all my heart." Jerry again expressed his regret before parting with the one-child woman.
Gladis enters the brothel with Shine, while inside, shocked Naura and Nick.
"Gladis." Naura immediately scattered and hugged her best friend.
The tap in Naura's eyes leaked, so the water couldn't stop flowing down her cheeks.
Naura looked at her best friend's face, not a single cut, she examined the entire body of the woman who worked as a night dancer in the brothel she managed.
"You okay? Not injured? Is anyone sick? Should we go see a doctor?" A series of questions continued to be thrown Naura while probing every inch of her best friend's body that was not covered in clothes.
Gladis stopped Naura's hand. "I'm fine, I'm not hurt one bit."
Naura heard it even became a whim, hugs back adrift.
"I'm sorry, I can't take care of you and Shine." Naura's remorse was deep.
"It's not all your fault, there's no need to apologize, it's all my destiny" Gladis said.
"But who kidnapped you and Shine?" asked Naura curiously.
"A super weird foreign man, who initially recognized me as his partner and now even he recognizes Shine as his daughter, his flesh and blood." Gladis placed emphasis on his last sentence.
Naura instantly takes over Shine, she misses the tiny baby she considers her own daughter.
"Maybe she's been enchanted by this beautiful little baby charm, so she can acknowledge Shine like her daughter, just like me she must also be sincere to Shine." Naura spoke without taking her eyes off Shine.
The woman wearing the peach-colored dress looked at her best friend, she was surprised by what Naura said.
Gladis mind floated, she did not agree with what Naura said, currently the one-child widow is still clearly imagined her husband's behavior, she also now considers all men the same, she also now considers all men the same, be sweet if there is a want and be rude when his will is not fulfilled, like Jerry who often threatens him.
"Naura, I may not have been hurt in my body, but my heart was badly hurt, when I started to forget about Jaka, there was Jerry who started ruining my life."
As strong as a woman, she still has her fragile self, she can be strong because there is a tiny baby whose life she needs to fight for.
"I feel like I want to go far away, get away from all of you, find a new life for me and my daughter, but ...," Gladis stopped moaning.
He was surprised by the arrival of a man who served as his guard.
"He gave you a guard?" Naura asked with a whisper in her best friend's ear.
"Hm ...." Nodding.
"Mrs, Mr. Jerry wants us to take care of Madam, it's dark, can we go home to the Madam?" Bring a guard.
"I want to stay here, tonight I'm going to sleep here, you guys just go home, I don't need an escort." Gladis.
The guard man could not argue, he ended up going out and back guarding in front of the brothel.
"He's not looking after me, but he's putting me in his arms." Gladis looked cynically towards the outside.
Naura looked at those eyes, full of anger, disappointment, regret, and also trauma.
"I don't know, what happened to you, but honestly, after hearing your short story, my conclusion fell on Jerry who loved Shine sincerely," she said.
Gladis approached Naura, she hugged her best friend tightly, there was a deep longing for Naura.
Seeing such a heartwarming sight, Nick who had been with them since, was happy, he was happy with the return of Gladis and Shine, so that his brother was not moody anymore.
Two women who live without parental assistance, make them grow into women who are great, tough, successful and can live well, even though their work or efforts are not good.
Hearts that miss each other, now have met each other, making the owner of the heart back together.
Glowing a happy look between the two, Naura and Gladis exchanged smiles, and it turns out that Shine also smiled at the two women who loved her so much.

When Jerry arrived at home, he immediately held an impromptu meeting with Satria and his other men, he would tighten the guard.
"You all understand? Our plan must work."
What plans are they putting together?
