Maybe all we need is just a little faith.

'Cause baby I believe that love will find the way - Jim Brickman.

"Thank you, thank you for conceiving my son. I assure you, I will take care of you and our child as best I can. Not even an ant will I let hurt you from now on." Ray said, making Ana smile amusedly hearing her husband's exaggerated speech. But he was happy to hear it, because it was an expression of Ray's gratitude for the fruit of love between them.

"You're overreacting." Ana.

Ray smiled hearing that, though,

"So, when did you do this pregnancy test?" Ask.

"So early in the morning."

"Today?"

"Em, yes."

"How could it be a coincidence?"

"I think so too. I found out that I was pregnant, right on the day of our wedding anniversary. Is God not so good to us?"

"You're right. But, are you sure if this tool shows the right results. You're really pregnant, aren't you?"

"You don't believe it?! After all I checked with my mother-in-law to the doctor and the results were positive! Po-si-tif pregnant. You can ask your stepmom directly." Ana replies, upset, because she thinks her husband is suspecting her if he is lying.

Though Ray meant it, he just asked, whether a testpack can be trusted results.

"It's not so Ana.." Ray breathed, he understood. Lately, his wife is very sensitive apparently because Ana is pregnant young.

"All right.I'm sorry okay. So, I'm sorry." Ray chose to give up. He took Ana's body back into his arms.

The man had heard that a pregnant woman could be more terrible than a lion king.

The two people sitting side by side looked awkward to each other.

Yohan still always carried Nana who was quiet and calm in her hand.

"Come, you must be tired of carrying it." Rachel said, her hand turned towards Yohan, asking Nana to come back.

"No problem."

"Eh?"

"Let me carry it." Yohan said, the man smiled looking at Nana who was laughing.

"I don't know if you like babies like Nana."

Yohan did not answer.

"If it's like this, you look like a good father huh." Said Rachel.

The girl raised her head, staring at the cluster of stars above the sky. They look like diamonds hanging there.

"If only I had appreciated myself more. I am still a girl who is busy with young people. Every day get up early, go to university, go out with friends, and spend the weekend with a lover."

Yohan was silent, listening to Rachel who continued to pour out her heart.

"But if God gives me a chance to turn back time again, I'll turn it down."

"Why?" Ask Yohan.

Every time she talked to Rachel, Yohan felt something different about her.

While with Rachel, Yohan felt like she was talking to the people closest to her.

"Because I'm grateful for what I did at that time. I am grateful for the problems that have happened to me. All the problems I experienced turned out to be a steep path to my maturity. With that, I can now see which is good and which is bad. That was a valuable lesson to me." Rachel said, she turned her head to Yohan.

The man smiled warmly at her, though,

"You're more mature now. You look better than ever. I'm glad to see you like this." Yohan.

"really?"

"Hm." Anguk Yohan's.

"Hey look, he's asleep." Said Rachel, she accidentally saw Nana who had fallen asleep in Yohan's arms.

"When she grows up, she'll definitely be a pretty girl like you." Yohan.

"You— is praising me right?"

The man looked surprised to hear it, though,

"That's not it, I mean, she must be prettier than you." Yohan Struggles.

"That means, you indirectly say that I'm beautiful. Aye right? Just be honest." Urged Rachel, it seems that the female's ignorant nature is active.

"You're overconfident."

"The beautiful person is a confident person. So, if you want to be beautiful then trust yourself." Rachel.

"Hey, I'm a man. How can you say I'm beautiful. Does my face look like a woman? It's obvious that my face is sculpted as well as the Greek gods." Said Yohan, out of nowhere the acute confidence suddenly emerged from him.

Rachel closed her mouth, the girl held back the laughter she wanted to spurt on Yohan.

"I don't know if you can say that much. And what are you talking about?! Oh, my God, you're more confident than me. I really didn't expect to hear all those words coming out of your mouth."

Rachel could no longer hold it back, she laughed out loud, to the point that some of the other invited guests turned their heads towards the girl, making Yohan smile in embarrassment at the strange gazes from the other invited guests.

"Stop laughing. You didn't see?! You're the center of attention." Whisper Yohan.

As Rachel was silent as she saw many eyes looking at her, the girl now smiled clumsily and drew closer to Yohan. Intending to hide his shame from behind Yohan's body.

"Ck, now that you're embarrassed, you looked like a madman who ran away from a mental institution."

"Don't insult me. It's your fault anyway, if you don't say things you've never said before, I'm definitely not going to laugh like that." Rachel said, the girl's lips turned downward, revealing her face in front of Yohan.

Yohan laughed at him.

The two of them together, from a distance look like their husband and wife and one child. Perfect and looks happy.

Alex saw him, the man was sitting in a chair quite far away from them. The laughter that adorned Rachel's face, made Alex's heart silent.

He looked down and sipped a few glasses of alcohol. If he was drunk, maybe it was better. That's what came to his mind.

"It looks like you made the right choice Alex. That man is the best for her." He told himself.

A smile on Alex's face. A smile that covered the other flavors in his heart.

Alex again sipped his alcohol, this time he gulped it not from the available glass but from the bottle of alcohol directly.

"Stupid!" Mumbled Alex's mother, the middle-aged woman from a distance was secretly always watching the movements of her son.

It felt as if his heart was sliced to see his biological child looking extremely chaotic. She really failed at being a mother.

Despite all these weeks, he's always said that he hates and doesn't want to see Alex. But it was just an expression of his disappointment, not something he wanted.

Like any bad deed a child does, just as much as he does to his child. A mother will still have a broad heart beyond the ocean. In the end, he will forgive Alex.
