2024-10-29 05:26:51Sara's face turned annoyed. She didn't expect Sebastian to bring it up here, in the middle of a tense situation. "Sebastian..."
"Do you think I'll just let it go?" Sebastian gritted his teeth, trying to hold back the pain that was surfacing again.Sara took a step back, her face trying to remain calm. But her eyes showed panic that could not be hidden. "That's none of your business anymore, Sebastian. What happened between us is over. And I will not give Dinda to you. And I will protect her from this endless debate.""If you really want to protect Dinda, you won't raise her with lies." Sebastian's voice rose, his emotions could no longer be contained. "I have the right to Dinda, and I will not keep quiet anymore. I will fight for her custody, Sara. She deserves to grow up with the truth, not in the lies you created." Sara flinched at the threat. She knew that if Sebastian really fought for Dinda’s custody, there was a big chance that she woul

With a smile on his lips, Sebastian began to feed Dinda again. Although she still winced a little because of the bland taste of the porridge, Dinda still obeyed and tried to finish her breakfast. While feeding Dinda, Sebastian spoke softly to her, telling funny stories about the things they did together when Dinda was younger."Dad, do you still remember when we went to the park, and Dinda ran around with that big dog?" Dinda asked, suddenly remembering an old incident that made her eyes shine.Sebastian chuckled. "Remember. That dog likes Dinda, he didn't stop chasing you until we had to climb onto the park bench," he said, still remembering how funny and adorable that moment was."Dad also climbed onto the bench, right?" Dinda giggled, remembering her Dad's surprised expression at that time."Yeah, Dad was scared too at that time," Sebastian admitted jokingly, making Dinda laugh even more. They continued to laugh and share stories, enjoying eve

Sara, seeing the opportunity, immediately took over. She hugged Dinda lovingly, pretending to be calm in front of her daughter. "Dinda, Mommy isn't crying. You know Mommy loves you, right? Daddy just wants to ruin everything. He doesn't care about us," she said softly, but in a tone that clearly conveyed the message that Sebastian was a dangerous figure. Dinda nodded, wiping away the tears on her still-damp cheeks. "Yes, Mommy. I don't want to see Daddy anymore! Get out of here!" Dinda shouted, her voice getting higher and full of hatred. Sebastian felt an unbearable pain in his chest. He wanted to step closer, but he felt as if an invisible wall was blocking him. "Dinda, please... listen to Daddy. I love you. Daddy doesn't want to make Mommy or you feel sad. Daddy just wants us to be together again. We can play and have fun," he said, his voice full of hope, even though deep inside he felt despair. "No! Go away!" Dinda insisted, her voice breaking the

Sara knew that this fight wasn’t over yet, and she was determined to win. “No one will be able to stop me,” she said to herself, as she imagined the future she wanted, where she and Dinda could live happily without Sebastian’s interference.With renewed confidence, Sara took a deep breath and prepared herself for the next challenge. She had to strategize well and make sure that all her plans went according to her wishes. Everything Sebastian did would only backfire on her, and Sara was determined to prove it in court. A few moments later, the atmosphere in the hospital room felt warmer with the arrival of Rendy, Dinda's rich father. He appeared with a big smile and a big teddy bear propped up in his arms. "Honey, look what Daddy brought!" Rendy shouted cheerfully, entering the room and making Dinda turn her head curiously. Dinda woke up from her sleep, her face immediately lit up when she saw the big and adorable teddy bear. "Daddy is

Hearing this, Rendy smiled in satisfaction. “Very good, Sara. That’s a smart idea. With the recording, we can show how Sebastian negatively affects Dinda. This could be a big advantage for us.”Sara felt calmer and more excited, then leaned her head on Rendy’s shoulder. “I want to end all this, Rendy. I don’t want to deal with Sebastian anymore. I want to marry you soon,” she said in a soft voice, but full of hope.Rendy looked at her intently. “Are you sure, Sara? This is not a small step. We have to think about all the consequences,” he asked, although his smile showed his support.“Yes, I’m sure,” Sara answered firmly. “I don’t want to live in fear or constantly deal with a painful past. Dinda needs certainty and a stable environment. With this marriage, I’m sure we can give her everything she needs.”Rendy nodded, understanding how important this step was for Sara. He hugged her closer, giving her the support she needed. “We will get through t

Sebastian thought for a moment, trying to remember the difficult times after his divorce from Sara. He knew that Sara wasn’t always there for Dinda as she should have been, but hard evidence of that was hard to come by. “I know she left the house for days without telling Dinda,” he mumbled. “But that was before we got divorced.”“Those things could be relevant,” Arman said, leaning forward. “If we could prove that Sara often left Dinda or that she was irresponsible as a mother, that could help.”Sebastian felt a little hope rise in his heart. “So, do you think we still have a chance?”Arman smiled thinly, shrugging his shoulders. "There's always a chance, Sebastian. We just have to work hard and gather all the evidence we can. This tape is a good start, but we need more." Sebastian nodded slowly. "I'll do whatever it takes. I just want to make sure Dinda grows up in a safe and loving environment." Arman tidied up his documents on his d

Rendy sat on the sofa, enjoying a cup of freshly brewed coffee. His head was leaning back, his eyes slightly closed, trying to calm his mind after so much had happened. Sara, after making sure Dinda was okay in her room, approached Rendy with slow steps. “Dinda looks very happy,” Sara whispered as she sat beside Rendy, her eyes looking at him full of hope. “I’m glad to see her cheerful again.” Rendy opened his eyes, smiling slightly. “Yes, she is indeed a strong child. It’s nice to see her laugh again.” Sara spun her coffee cup in her hand, hesitating for a moment before finally asking, “Last night, you mentioned your plan. Are you serious about taking Dinda to the Child Protection Commission so we can win custody?” Rendy turned his head, put his coffee cup on the table, and took a deep breath. “Sara, I know this isn’t easy, but we have to make sure that Dinda is in the safest and most stable environment for her. Yesterday’s experience at the

“Rendy, I… I’m not sure about this,” Sara muttered softly, her voice hoarse. She lowered her head, not daring to look at Rendy. “If we open this in court, Sebastian could turn the tables. The court could see me as the guilty party for hiding the truth. I could lose a lot more than we thought.”Rendy looked at Sara calmly, noticing the anxiety that was clouding her mind. He understood how hard this decision was for Sara. While a DNA test might seem like the perfect solution on paper, the reality in the courtroom could be different. The courts were not always focused on absolute truth, especially if past lies could be used by opponents to tarnish Sara’s image. “I understand your hesitation, Sara,” Rendy said in a soft yet firm tone. He moved closer, sitting closer to Sara. “This is not an easy step. But trust me, we can come up with a solid strategy. I will make sure that the focus remains on Dinda’s well-being, not past mistakes.”Sara took a deep breath,

"But, Rendy," Sara spoke softly, her voice trembling slightly. "Dinda has long believed that Sebastian is her father. If we suddenly reveal the truth, aren't you afraid that it will destroy her? She's still young..."Rendy looked at her deeply, trying to convince Sara with sincerity in his eyes. "I know this will be hard, Sara. But the longer we wait, the harder it will be for Dinda to accept the truth. Right now, she is still young enough to understand and accept. If we wait until she is older, the impact could be much worse." Sara fell silent, staring blankly ahead. She understood Rendy's concerns. There was a part of her that knew that Rendy was right. However, as a mother, her instincts always wanted to protect Dinda from pain. Revealing that Sebastian was not her biological father would cause confusion and perhaps a sense of betrayal for her daughter. Rendy continued, more gently this time. "I want us to be able to knit a life togeth

Rendy stood with a tired face, filled with regret, and before Sara could say anything, he suddenly knelt at the door. "Sara... Please. I know I was wrong. I know I don't deserve to apologize, but I can't keep living like this without trying to make things right," Rendy said with a trembling voice.Sara's face instantly turned red, not with emotion, but with boiling anger. "How dare you come here after what you did to Dinda! Do you think an apology can erase everything?!" she shouted.Sara's loud voice made Sebastian come out of the kitchen, holding Dinda's hand. When he saw Rendy kneeling at the door, his expression hardened."Dinda," Rendy whispered when his gaze fell on the little girl standing next to Sebastian. With a sudden movement, Rendy stood up and ran toward Dinda, his arms outstretched wanting to hug her.However, before he could get close, Sebastian swiftly pulled Dinda behind him, distancing her from Rendy. "That's enou

"Yes," Sebastian replied without hesitation. "What he did is not only wrong but also illegal. He took away Dinda's right to choose. He exploited his position and your trust. That can't be allowed to pass."Sara took a deep breath, trying to calm herself. Part of her felt relieved that Sebastian was by her side now, but another part still felt crushed under the heavy weight of guilt."I need time, Sebastian," she finally said. "To think about all this... and to find a way to make up for what has happened to Dinda."Sebastian nodded. "Take as much time as you need, Sara. The important thing is that we face this together. For Dinda."Time passed quickly, and Dinda slowly opened her eyes. The night air felt calm, but the faint aroma of cooking tickled her nose. She got out of bed, rubbing her still-sleepy eyes. The sound of laughter and chatter from the kitchen piqued her curiosity.With slow steps, Dinda walked toward the kitchen.

After helping Dinda lie down in her room, Sara stepped out and slowly closed the door. She stood for a moment in the hallway, taking a deep breath before finally walking to the living room where Sebastian was still standing.“Thank you for helping me today,” Sara said suddenly, her voice soft but sincere.Sebastian was a bit surprised, but he didn’t show it. “For me, Dinda is my child too. I will always be there for her.”The atmosphere between them felt lighter, although sadness still enveloped the day. Sara felt Sebastian's presence as a significant support. In this tense moment, gratitude flowed in her heart.Sebastian looked at Sara, understanding the heavy burden she had to bear. Although their relationship was not always perfect, moments like this made him realize the importance of supporting each other. He was determined to always be by Sara’s and Dinda's side, no matter how difficult their situation became.They exchanged glances,

“Clear!” The shout echoed again, followed by a second shock. But the monitor still showed a flat line.Panic enveloped the room further. Every second felt like a century. The doctors exchanged glances, trying to hide their anxiety even as the situation grew more critical. The continuous beeping of the alarm added to the tension, making everyone feel trapped in uncertainty.Meanwhile, outside the room, Rendy and Vina watched with bated breath. Rendy squeezed Vina's hand, trying to channel some strength. “Please, Rachel... Get up,” he whispered, hoping his heartfelt words reached the weak girl lying there.Vina, unable to hold back any longer, sobbed loudly. “Rachel, we love you! Come back!” Her voice was full of hope, even as fear gnawed at her heart. In this tense moment, all their hopes focused on one point: may a miracle happen.Sebastian stood a few steps behind Rendy and Vina, his heart heavy witnessing the scene. He knew this was a criti

Rendy felt his body weaken, as if struck by a heavy stone. His legs could barely support him, yet he held onto Vina, who continued to cry. “No... it can’t be...” he murmured, almost as if speaking to himself.Panic and fear enveloped him, making him feel trapped in darkness. Each heartbeat felt heavy, and Vina's sobs reminded him of how fragile life can be. Rendy tried to comfort the little girl, even though he himself didn’t know how to cope with the overwhelming fear.As he stared at the closed ICU door, thoughts of all the worst possibilities haunted his mind. Rendy felt guilty, realizing that all of this was the result of his own choices. He wanted to protect Rachel, but now he found himself in a situation that endangered everyone he loved.The tension in the air became palpable, and Rendy prayed that it wouldn’t end in disaster. He was determined to face the consequences of his actions, no matter how painful they might be. In his heart, he hoped there

Rendy looked shocked, but there was deep unease on his face. He knew the situation was worsening. Every word spoken by Sebastian only strengthened his resolve to protect Dinda, and Rendy felt cornered.Sebastian stood firm, trying to contain his emotions. He did not want to be trapped in this game, but the deep pain and anger pushed him to take action. In his mind, there was only one goal: to save Dinda from potential harm.They both fell silent, caught in a moment full of tension. Sebastian knew that the next step would determine not only their fates but also Dinda's future, which should not be affected by the selfish decisions of adults.However, before Sebastian could continue, Rendy knelt before him. His usually confident face was now weak and desperate. Tears began to flow down his cheeks. "Sebastian, please... don’t do this," he said with a trembling voice. "Rachel... Rachel doesn't have much time left."Sebastian paused, shocked to see

Filled with anger, Sebastian chose to confront Rendy. When he arrived in front of the ICU and saw Rendy there, without a second thought, Sebastian threw a punch. He growled with rage, his eyes red as he glared at Rendy, who staggered slightly from the blow.Without thinking, Sebastian grabbed Rendy by the collar, pulling him closer until their faces were just inches apart. "What are you doing with Sara and Dinda?" he hissed, his voice trembling with emotion.Rendy, still shocked, tried to defuse the situation. "Sebastian, wait! This isn't what you think!" he said, trying to keep his distance.Sebastian didn't want to hear any defense. His anger clouded his judgment. He wanted to know the truth, but right now, everything was blurred by his burning rage. He knew he had to listen to what Rendy had to say, but all he felt was the need to protect his loved ones.With his heart racing, Sebastian waited for Rendy's explanation, ready to listen or continu

Sebastian tried to imagine how Rendy and Vina were feeling right now. They must be experiencing a mix of profound hope and fear. He felt compelled to be by their side, providing the support they needed amidst this chaos.His mind was increasingly filled with questions. He recalled how strange Rendy's behavior had been all this time. Rendy suddenly appearing in Sara and Dinda's lives, always looking for ways to get close to them. And now, knowing that Rachel had just undergone a liver transplant, Sebastian couldn't ignore his suspicions.Could it be...? No, that was too cruel. Yet, as he contemplated the situation, the question kept haunting him. Did Rendy really approach Sara because of Dinda? Because he knew Dinda could be a liver donor?Sebastian felt a deep discomfort. He tried to dismiss the thought, but the more he thought about it, the harder it became to ignore. Rendy always seemed very involved and caring, but was it all just a facade to

Sebastian walked down the hospital corridor with hesitant steps, his mind filled with questions. He tried to locate Rendy, Vina, and Rachel, but he had no idea where they were. The hospital corridor felt silent, with only the sound of his footsteps echoing, intensifying his anxiety.Each door he passed seemed to hold untold secrets. He felt the tension in the air, shadows of uncertainty accompanying him. Memories of their emotionally charged meeting replayed in his mind, making his heart tremble.Sebastian thought about Rachel, the helpless little girl, and how easily the situation could turn into conflict. He wanted to protect them, yet at the same time, he felt trapped in confusion.He glanced at the clock on the wall; time seemed to crawl. In his heart, he prayed for their safety and tried to calm himself. He knew he had to find them and get the necessary explanations. With renewed determination, Sebastian continued his search, hoping to rectify his mis
