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

    That day, officers from the Child Protection Commission arrived at Sara and Rendy’s house to interview Dinda. Sara greeted them at the door with a polite smile, a little anxious but trying to look calm. Rendy was nearby, making sure everything went smoothly. The Child Protection Commission officer, a friendly woman named Mrs. Anita, asked if they could speak to Dinda privately in the living room.After the request was made, Sara felt a little trembling in her heart. She knew that the conversation would have big consequences for Dinda and them as parents. However, she tried to think positively and hoped that everything would go well. Rendy, beside her, tried to provide moral support by nodding and giving a reassuring smile. "I understand this may be a difficult situation for you," said Mrs. Anita softly, trying to lighten the mood. "But we just want to listen to Dinda's story and make sure that she is safe." Although Mrs. Anita tried to make her comfortable, Sara a

    Dinda looked at Mrs. Anita, her expression looking a little sad. “But I love Daddy Sebastian too… I just don’t like it when Daddy Sebastian gets mad. When it comes to Rich Daddy, no one gets mad. Mommy and Rich Daddy are always nice.”“Okay then, I had cookies for Dinda. See you later,” Anita said as she finished her interview.After the interview was over, Anita sat in the living room with Sara.“Judging from the results of the interview earlier, I think it’s very likely that custody will fall to you,” Anita said quietly, but confidently.Sara looked at her, trying to hold back a relieved smile. “So… everything’s okay, huh?”Anita nodded. “Dinda seems very comfortable with you and Rendy. She also mentioned that Rendy never gets angry, something that seems to make her feel safer in this environment.”Sara smiled faintly. “Dinda is indeed more cheerful when she’s with us.”Anita tidied up her files as she continued, “How

    "I will not give up," he said finally, trying to channel all the conviction he had into his words. "This is about Dinda's future, and I will not stop until I get justice. Whatever it takes, I will do it."His lawyer smiled thinly, though the tiredness was still evident on his face. It was not a smile of victory, but rather a kind of support that he wanted to give to his client in her predicament. "Okay," he said, "we will work hard to turn this around. What we need to do now is show that Dinda needs her father—and that you can provide the love and stability she needs."Sebastian nodded firmly, though his heart was still filled with anxiety. In his chest, feelings of worry and love wrestled in an endless struggle. Still, one thing was for him: he would not back down for the sake of his beloved daughter.---In his office, Sebastian stepped into the room with heavy steps. The air in his office felt more stuffy than usual, and his head was fill

Sebastian was just trying to complicate her life, she thought stubbornly. Yet, the doubt continued to grow in a small corner of her heart.After ensuring Dinda was sleeping peacefully, Sara decided to find the doctor on duty who could explain the scar. She walked toward the doctor's office with firm steps. There, she found a nurse organizing the patient schedule."Excuse me, I want to see the doctor who is taking care of my daughter, Dinda," Sara said in a firm yet polite tone.The nurse looked at the schedule in her hand before responding, "I’m sorry, Mrs. S

    Sara felt her heart ache at the anger and sadness on Dinda's face. She knew her daughter missed Daddy Sebastian very much, and her feelings were entirely valid. Although she tried to explain gently, Dinda still looked disappointed and confused.Sara reminded herself to be patient, trying to find a way to explain the situation better. She hoped to give Dinda understanding so her daughter could feel more at ease and not neglected. In her mind, she resolved to find the right time to talk to Dinda about her feelings and hopes.Sara took a deep breath, trying to hold back her emotions. "Sweetheart, Mommy just wants the best for you. Besides, Daddy Rendy is here. You can play with him."Dinda huffed, crossing her arms. "Daddy Rendy isn’t fun. He always daydreams when I invite him to play. That makes me mad!"Hearing that, Sara felt a bit frustrated. She knew Dinda really needed attention and love. However, she also understood that Rendy might be facing

    The woman looked pale, her eyes swollen, clearly showing that she had just been crying. When she saw Rendy approaching, Vina appeared a bit relieved but still deeply worried.Rendy felt the pain in Vina's heart and knew this situation was very serious. He tried to calm himself, even though the tension in the air felt heavy. Rendy knew that this was the right time to support Vina and find out what was really happening with Rachel."Rendy!" Vina called with a trembling voice. She immediately walked up to him and hugged him tightly without hesitation."What happened?" Rendy asked urgently, although his voice sounded softer. He stroked Vina's back with a hand that tried to remain calm, even though he himself was on the verge of losing control.Vina took a deep breath, trying to hold back her tears. Rendy felt the tension in her body, and he grew more worried about Rachel's condition. In that embrace, he tried to provide strength to Vina, hoping to hea

    Suddenly, Rendy's phone rang. As he answered, his expression changed instantly. From a warm face while with Dinda, now it showed a striking tension. He listened intently to the voice on the other end, occasionally nodding even though those around him couldn't hear the conversation.A moment later, he hung up and hurriedly put his phone in his pocket. His face revealed that something serious was happening, and I felt curious about what he had heard. Rendy looked restless, and I could sense that this situation might be related to something more significant than just personal issues."Sara," Rendy said, his voice somewhat tense. "I have to go to the office now. There’s an important matter with a client that can’t be postponed."Rendy appeared rushed, and the tension on his face became more evident. He seemed to struggle with his words before leaving, as if he wanted to explain more, but time seemed to be running out. With quick steps, he prepared to leave, ab

    "Are you sure this is just a coincidence?" Sara asked again, this time her voice softer.Rendy nodded firmly. "Of course. There's nothing for you to worry about. They’re just clients, nothing more."Seeing Rendy's calm demeanor, Sara began to second-guess her suspicions. A part of her wanted to believe Rendy’s words, even though the shadow of Sebastian and his earlier words still lingered in her mind.The anxiety that had once consumed her thoughts began to subside, but an underlying sense of unease remained. She tried to convince herself that maybe this was indeed just a coincidence. However, doubt still loomed in her heart, leaving her feeling trapped between the desire to believe and the fear of a greater possibility.Rendy stepped closer, gently touching Sara's shoulder. "You look tired. Let’s go back to Dinda's room. I'm sure she wants to see both of us," he said softly. Sara gazed deeply at Rendy, trying to read

    Sara bit her lip. She knew she shouldn't let her thoughts carry her away. However, her maternal instinct—the urge to protect Dinda—was starting to push her to uncover the truth. Sebastian might be wrong, but what if he was right?That worry gnawed at her mind, making her feel restless. She wanted to protect Dinda from anything that could harm her, including painful truths. Taking a deep breath, Sara tried to calm herself, but the urge to find out more grew stronger.She picked up her phone again, contemplating her next move. Should she try to contact Rendy once more or seek out other information? Deep down, she knew she had to get answers, no matter how difficult it might be.After a few minutes, Sara tried calling again, but still no answer. Her anxiety grew, and she began to feel something was off. Yet, on the other hand, she didn’t want to think too far without proof."Be patient, Sara," she told herself. "Maybe this is all just a coincidence.

    Sara took a deep breath, her face showing a mix of exhaustion and anger. "Sebastian, I don’t care what you saw or think. All I know is that you’ve crossed the line by interfering in my life and Rendy’s. I’ve been patient enough. You should mind your own business and leave now."Those words felt like a slap to Sebastian. He sensed the tension in the air thickening, and even though he wanted to fight to convey the truth, Sara's firm voice made him hesitate. He realized that this situation had exceeded the boundaries he had anticipated.Sebastian stood still, trying to digest her words, but his heart felt heavy. He wanted to defend himself, but seeing Sara's expression, he knew that continuing this conversation would only make things worse.He stared at Sara for a moment, trying to find signs that she might be hiding something. However, Sara's gaze was stern, leaving no room for further discussion. He felt uncertainty and doubt, but the courage to ask further

    Vina glanced at Rachel with a hint of guilt before turning her attention back to Rendy. "So, when exactly will he be moved?" she asked, trying to ensure everything was going according to plan.Rendy looked back, this time with a firmer tone. "In a few hours. The special ambulance is ready, and the route has been arranged so that no one will know. You just need to make sure Sebastian isn’t at the hospital during that time."Vina nodded, feeling the weight of the situation grow heavier. She knew that everything had to be done carefully, and every step counted. The tension between them was palpable, but they all understood that this was a necessary step."Okay. But I can't keep blocking him. If he finds out I'm deliberately stopping him, he'll become even more suspicious," Vina said, feeling the pressure.Rendy sighed, understanding the difficulty Vina faced. "I'll find another way to distract him. You do what you can. We can't let Rachel be found, V

    Sebastian mentally rescheduled his work, determined to return to Dinda's side as soon as everything was taken care of.However, when he reached the lobby, his eyes caught a familiar figure—Rendy. The man seemed to walk quickly in another direction, pushing a door toward a different corridor. At first, Sebastian didn't want to pay attention, but something inside him held him back. The direction Rendy was heading was different from the path to Dinda's room. "Where is he going?" Sebastian muttered to himself. Curiosity took over him. He decided to follow Rendy's steps. However, the path was not smooth. In the busy hospital corridor, Sebastian had to navigate through several groups of visitors chatting. His steps halted momentarily as a patient in a wheelchair was pushed by a nurse right in front of him. Sebastian let out a soft grunt. "Damn," he muttered, feeling he had lost Rendy's trail. But when he glanced to the right, he saw the man turn at the end
