"Mom's home!" Alea shouted as she stepped into her apartment, followed by Archi who had the goal of meeting Alarik and having dinner together. "Alea, we want to eat—Archi is there too," Eros said a little confused by Archi's arrival. Archi waved his hand greeting Eros awkwardly. "Aci!" Alarik came out of his room and ran to Archi, the boy stretched out his arms asking to be picked up. "Aci, do you know?" asked Alaric, the boy looked at Archi seriously. Exasperated, Archi also looked at Alaric seriously, and waited for Alaric to continue what he said. "What?" "Al has a father now." Alaric pointed at Eros who was standing not far from them, with a forced smile, Archi nodded his head in understanding. "Ah yes, what do you want for dinner?" asked Alea, trying to change the subject. "Wanna make chicken soup? Alaric has to eat nutritious food right," Eros said, he felt the atmosphere was even more awkward, so he tried to divert it as much as possible with Alea. "But Al wants

They arrived at Alea and Alaric's apartment room, Eros put the boy to sleep in his room and returned to Alea who was still busy unpacking her bag. "I will return to my hotel now," said Eros, but Alea quickly held his hand so that Eros would not leave. "Are you sure you want to sleep in a hotel? Won't you just stay here?" Alea asked a little nervously, she was afraid that Eros would think he was ridiculous for asking her to stay over. "Can I stay here?" Eros looked at Alea seriously, he was afraid to make Alea and Alaric uncomfortable with his presence in their apartment. Alea smiled while nodding her head slowly, "Of course, Eros. You're Alaric's father," she answered. Alaric's father? Eros furrowed his brow in confusion, so he was only considered as 'Alaric's father' and not Alea's husband anymore? Does Alea no longer think of Eros as her husband, because they've been separated for quite a while? But still! Eros had not signed the divorce papers given by Alea at that time,

"Daddy!" screamed Alarik when Eros had just stepped into his inpatient room, Alea turned around briefly and greeted him with a smile, the woman seemed to be busy buttoning the shirt Alarik was wearing. Hearing Alaric's call to him, of course Eros felt happy. He did not expect that this simple call could color his life and make him very happy. Alaric didn't seem to mind calling him that for a relatively short time, perhaps because he was still so young, and was very happy when he realized that he too had a father, like his other friends. "How is it? Al is ready to go home?" asked Eros while crouching in front of Alaric and taking over Alea's work. Alea was a little surprised, because Eros suddenly pulled her hand gently, and motioned to Alea with a smile so that Eros would do it. "Let me do it," he said briefly, Eros' eyes were now shifted to Alaric. "What are you going to do? After you get home." Hearing Eros' question, Alaric thought for a moment, then before long his smile

I don't know since when, Eros has been standing in front of Alarik's inpatient room. He did not have the courage to meet Alaric, his son. Admitting it, for some reason Eros now felt very happy. Meeting Alea again and apparently having a son who is truly his flesh and blood, made Eros not believe it, he thought everything that happened yesterday was just a dream. But when he peeked into the glass at the door of the inpatient room, Eros saw Alea, his wife who he missed so much and also a boy with a face exactly like himself. Bracing himself, Eros pushed open the door and reflexively attracted the attention of Mother and Child who had been engrossed in chattering, Alea looked at Eros' arrival and smiled. "Uncle!" called Alarik with sparkling eyes when Eros came into his room. Eros breathed a sigh of relief because the boy's health was getting better. He also looked at Alaric, smiled and waved his hand, greeting Alarik. "Why is your smile not look scary anymore?" he asked innoc

Since last night, Laura had been packing her things with non-stop crying. Indeed, he had given up on the departure of Eros, who was trying to restore his relationship with his wife, who was still alive. But still, the incident at the hospital was like a nightmare for her. She really didn't expect that this kind of painful thing would happen to her, even though she had accompanied Eros for the past 3 years. It wasn't Eros who was wrong and evil here, Laura also felt guilty for having forced her to accompany that man— who clearly never considered Laura's presence, if Laura hadn't asked her yesterday, Eros would not have proposed to her until now. Laura sat on the floor of her hotel room, she was still sobbing. If only— she didn't take Eros on vacation to LA, maybe now that man would still be her. Her mind is now quite selfish, but Laura's heart is not well now, and being selfish is a natural thing for people who are sad. After all, who wants to be sad and let their man chase anot

Laura and Archi were immediately confused, because Alea and Eros apparently knew each other. In fact, they look more than familiar. Eros looked at Alea with teary eyes, which Laura had never seen so emotional. The stiff and cold Eros that I had seen for 3 years suddenly changed in an instant. "Alea," he called softly, Archi looked at Alea, waiting for the reaction of the woman standing beside him. Same with Eros, Alea also looked at him with teary eyes. They looked like two people who had to be separated after a long time and only just met again— wait, Archi just realized. Alea came here because she had to leave her husband, and Eros once said that he had been married. Archi took a step back, he was not ready for this situation. "Alea," Eros called again, ignoring Laura who incidentally was his fiancee, Eros ran towards Alea and hugged his wife tightly. He was crying sobbing as if he didn't expect that Alea was still alive, he thought Alea was gone. Of course Alea returned
