Chapters. 5

"Bring the documents from Central Group here, Nando!" Zack ordered his assistant, as they were about to have a meeting with the head of the company. 

As a very successful businessman in recent years, Zack could not afford to be careless or negligent. He always checks the important documents concerning the cooperation between his company and the client company. Zack wants his cooperation to run perfectly, without any problems arising in the future. 

Nando fetched the documents requested by his boss. Then they looked busy at the documents in their hands. Not long after, someone knocked on the door of Zack's office. 

"Come in!" said Zack when he heard the door of his office being knocked from outside. 

Not long after, a man appeared with a panicked look on his face. Making Zack and Nando stare at the man curiously. 

"Tell me! Don't waste my precious time." said Zack before the man started talking. 

Feeling very nervous, the man stepped closer to Zack's desk. 

"I'm sorry, sir. But I have to tell you this," the man said as if unsure of what he was going to tell Zack. 

"Just tell me." 

"The woman you've been looking for for five years seems to be in the airport area. One of my men saw her at..." 

Before the man could finish his report, Zack had already reacted. Zack stood up immediately after hearing the news. Zack's expression displayed the hope of his long search. 

"Tell me clearly. At which airport did your men see that woman!" Zack was urgent and seemed impatient to know exactly where she was. 

"They saw her at Melbourne Airport, Mr. Zack." 

Suddenly that made Zack and Nando widen their eyes, they looked surprised and also did not expect that the woman Zack had been looking for was in a place not far from where he was currently. 

Wasting no more time, Zack canceled his important schedule today just to meet the woman who had made his mind uneasy for the past five years. 

"Block all exits to the airport!" Zack ordered Nando. 

"Yes, sir." 

Zack walked steadily towards his company's lobby. He couldn't wait to meet the woman who had taken away his seed five years ago. And Zack was certain that the night they had spent together would make her pregnant with his child. 

***

Meanwhile elsewhere, a young woman was seen taking off her glasses as she got out of a car that had just taken her to a restaurant in the airport area. The woman looked around her. 

"Nothing has changed," she said as she looked around. "Everything still looks the same as when I left this city." 

Five years had passed since Nara's worst day. Since finding out she was pregnant as a student, Nara had decided to leave her hometown with her mother. At the time, Nara couldn't face reality, nor did she want to deal with the man she once considered a client. 

Nara wanted to bury all her memories in this city. However, after five years had passed and her mother had passed away, Nara had no other purpose than to return to this city. There was also another reason for her return. 

"Is this where Mommy lives?" as Nara daydreamed and reminisced about her past in this town, she was suddenly startled by a question coming from a little girl beside her. 

"Ah, yes dear. Mommy used to live in this town," Nara replied, forgetting that she had returned to this town with her daughter. "Do you like it?" 

The little girl nodded. "Ruka likes it, Mommy. There are lots of toys here." The little girl named Ruka was very enthusiastic. And before Nara could even take Ruka inside, the little girl let go of Nara's hand and ran to the playground in the restaurant. Where the restaurant had set up a special playroom for children. 

"Slow down, Ruka! Don't run!" Nara reminded her four-year-old daughter. 

Ruka was indeed a very active and brave child, even though she was only four years old. Nara often missed out when watching Ruka play. 

Not wanting to limit her daughter's movements, Nara let Ruka play alone. Nara then sat on a chair not far from Ruka's playground. So she could keep an eye on her daughter from a close distance. Since it was lunch time, Nara ordered some food that would suit Ruka's taste.

While waiting for the food she ordered to arrive, and also watching Ruka play, Nara took the time to check her work schedule which was likely to be active starting tomorrow. 

As a single parent, of course Nara was not going to sit idly by. Although she felt devastated by the fate that was joking with her. But Nara still had to get up, because there was Ruka who really needed her. 

Nara had prepared everything before he returned to this city. Nara was accepted at a technology company and he starts work tomorrow. In addition, Nara was also a well-known designer in her previous city. 

So focused on the file she was examining, that the food she ordered came, Nara didn't realize that Ruka hadn't approached her yet. 

"Ruka?" Nara looked panicked as she looked over to where Ruka was playing earlier, but her daughter wasn't there.

Then Nara immediately took her cell phone and checked Ruka's position from the tracking device that Nara had attached to Ruka's watch. All of that Nara did because this was not the only time Ruka had escaped from her supervision. And that's how Nara found out where Ruka was at the moment. 

"How could she be outside the restaurant." At once Nara got up from her place and started looking for her daughter. 

Meanwhile, on the outside of the restaurant, Ruka was running after the balloon that was flying higher and higher. The little girl wasn't even paying attention to her path until she bumped into someone and made her fall. 

"It hurts...!" she whined as her butt hit the asphalt. 

It made the person Ruka hit surprised when she realized that a child had hit her. 

"Are you okay?" asked the big man as he helped Ruka up. 

Ruka shook her head, then the little girl raised her head. Staring right at the man in front of her right now. 

"How come Uncle's eyes are the same color as Ruka's?" asked Ruka with an innocent face while touching the face of a man who was none other than Zack. 

Zack's heart pounded even more when the small, soft hand touched his face. Especially when Zack saw the look in the eyes of the little girl in front of him right now, exactly the same as the look in his eyes. Both of their eyes were Hazel colored. Where that eye color is very rare. Only native descendants have that eye color. Whereas Zack had never met anyone with the same eyes as himself, before meeting this little girl. 

"Where are your parents?" Zack looked sharply at the little girl who was touching his face. To make Ruka scared. 

"M-Mom..." Ruka looks like she's about to cry. However, before Ruka could answer, a voice called Ruka from behind. 

"Ruka!"
