Alan and Alana stood in front of their grandfather. They still felt a little nervous because this was their first time meeting Grandpa Oberon. Despite this, they had agreed to sincerely call him "grandfather" from the start of the meeting."Yes, Grandpa. "We are willing to call you grandfather," said Alana with a smile."That's right," said Alan, "we're happy to have a grandfather.""Thank you, my grandchild," said Mr. Oeberon in a hoarse voice while shedding tears.Tears of unstoppable emotion rolled from his eyes. He felt so moved when his two grandchildren accepted him so well. Alan and Alana are twins who are so kind and polite.Without hesitation, Lord Oeberon took them in his arms. He felt extraordinary warmth and softness from his grandchildren's slight bodies. Tears of happiness continued to flow from his eyes, washing away the longing he had harbored for years."Grandfather..." Alana let go of her hug and then wiped the tears that were streaming down her grandfather's face. "
Several weeks had passed since William decided to go abroad, and there had been no news from William since he left, leaving a feeling of worry and anxiety in the hearts of those closest to him—especially Alan and Alana."Mother, is there any good news from Father?" Alan asked his mother after they finished eating. "I miss him, it's been a long time since he left, there's been no news at all.""I miss him too," Alana said, "I want to talk to him. It's okay for a moment.""Mum doesn't know," answered Amanda, "maybe the weather there is bad. So, good Dad can't contact us yet."Amanda just guessed what happened there so that Alan and Alana wouldn't think anything wrong with William.Amanda was also worried about William's condition. She had tried to contact him, but his telephone number was not active."I'm sorry," said Henry, "I forgot to tell you that the weather there was really bad. So, good Dad hasn't been able to contact you." Henry lied to his children so they wouldn't be disappoin
Alan and Alana have lost the news of their father, who is abroad to work. Several months passed without any sign or message from their father, and worry haunted their minds every day.Every night before going to bed, they both pray for their father's health. "God, please take care of our father and bring him back safely," said Alan while looking at the sky. Alana joined the prayer with the same hope and belief.Days at school are filled with anxiety and worry. Alan and Alana feel isolated from their classmates. They cannot follow conversations about activities carried out by a friend's father or stories about holidays with the family. The misfortune penetrated their minds, leaving a deep feeling of loneliness and anxiety."Lana, why don't we go look for Dad after school," suggested Alan, "let's not go home with Grandpa.""But, what if Grandpa looks for us?" Alana was worried that her grandfather would be concerned if they ran away."Grandpa is with the driver, he'll be fine," said Ala
"I don't know, but I will report her to the police for what she did," Henry answered as he took his cell phone from his trouser pocket."Wait a minute!" said Amanda, "I don't know her condition now. I don't want to report someone who is dying.""Okay. I agree with your decision." Henry called someone, then looked back at Amanda. "I'm going back to the hospital."Amanda nodded. "I'll entrust William.""Don't worry; William will be fine." Henry approached his child twins and kissed the tops of their heads. You guys, don't worry either. A good father will get better quickly.""Yes, Dad.""Dad will go first." Henry ruffled the hair of his two children, then said goodbye to Amanda. "I'll go first. You'd better accompany the children."Amanda nodded. "You guys rest in Mom's room, okay?" Amanda ordered, "calm down. Everything will be fine."The next day, after the terrible incident that almost took the lives of her two children, Amanda tried to remain calm for the sake of her children. She r
"How is the condition?" William was also curious about Sonya's condition."Her leg is badly injured. Maybe she will be disabled," Baron said."But we don't know God's miracles," said William, "even though she is a bad woman, I hope she will be fine and get a chance to improve herself.""She's a very evil woman. A woman like her doesn't deserve to live." Baron still feels annoyed with Sonya."He is an ordinary human being just like us," said William. Previously, he wanted Sonya to disappear from the face of this earth, but after learning about the woman's past, William felt sorry for her. "She just needs attention from someone who truly loves her."Baron brought his face closer to William. "Do you like Sonya?""Of course not!" William answered firmly."Yes, of course, because you love Amanda," Baron said quietly, then laughed."It's not like that," William said, "even though I am responsible for her current condition.""That's because you have no other choice," Baron commented."Yes, t
Amanda felt anxiety pressing on her chest. Something she never imagined was now happening in front of her. She had been waiting for William to confess his feelings, but after that happened, Amanda felt confused.Amanda turned to face William, but she didn't say anything. She didn't know what to say to William.William, with his face tense but excited, looked at Amanda expectantly. He sat on the edge of the bed while holding the hands of the woman who was standing in front of him."Amanda, I need to talk to you about something important. I've been holding it in for a long time, and now I can't hold it in any longer. I love you, Amanda. I really do."William's words made Amanda's heart almost stop beating. She was surprised, and this scene happened very quickly for her. Previously, Amanda had never imagined that William would have feelings that were more than just brotherly. She felt deep panic within herself, trapped in a state of uncertainty.However, when Amanda looked into William's
William sat while Amanda fed him in his room. Suddenly, he saw Henry standing in front of his room. His gaze met Henry, Amanda's ex-husband and also his boss.William's heart immediately felt bad because he knew that his boss still loved Amanda. However, currently, William is very close to his boss's ex-wife.'Maybe Amanda still has feelings of love for Boss Henry. I was guilty of being presumptuous in declaring my love for the woman Boss Henry really loved. I have to unite their love. It's time for Boss to be happy with his family,' thought William.William decided to face it wisely. He will make room for Amanda and Henry to spend more time together, even if it means sacrificing his feelings. William still cares about the happiness of his boss and his children."William, what is going on?" Amanda was worried because William had been silent all this time, staring out of the room. "Are you alright?" Amanda turned around, and her gaze searched William's direction, but unfortunately, Hen
"We'll talk about it later," Amanda said as she guided her son's hand, "we're going now!""Let's go!" Henry said excitedly. They walked out of the house, breathing the fresh morning air. Henry opened the car door and helped his children inside.The journey to school is a precious moment for Henry. He enjoys this moment to talk to his children and listen to their exciting stories. Alana and Alan talked about their friends at school.Henry engages in warm conversation with his children. Meanwhile, Amanda sat in the front passenger seat, smiling at the happiness of the children and their biological father, who seemed to be getting closer.As they approached the school, the atmosphere became more lively, with noisy children running and shouting. Henry parked the car in front of the school and opened the door. Alana and Alan came out excitedly, carrying their bags.Henry took the hands of his two children, and they walked together towards the school gate. There, they parted with warm hugs
Mrs. Vena even knelt in front of Amanda. She spoke in a hoarse voice while looking down. "Amanda, please forgive me. I regret planning to take Alan and Alana from you. I realize your relationship with my grandson is important, which I never felt before."Amanda was stunned to hear Mrs. Vena's apology. She never expected that Mrs. Vena would kneel before her and apologize so sincerely. Her heart was filled with emotion and began to soften."I have seen your influence on my grandchild's life. I realize my mistake and promise not to separate you from them. You are a great mother, and my grandchildren need you. I ask that you forgive me."Amanda felt moved and wanted to give Mrs. Vena a second chance. She could see the genuine change in the woman's heart."Mrs. Vena," said Amanda understandingly, "I appreciate your apology. I also hope that we can improve our relationship in the future. Wake up!"Amanda stood up and helped her ex-in-law to get up. Even though the woman had done a lot of w
In a quiet living room, Henry sat on the sofa with a tense face and sharp eyes, looking at his mother. Beside him was Amanda."Why don't you bring my grandchildren?" Mrs. Vena asked, pretending to be excellent."Mom, we decided to get married again." Amanda got straight to the point. "I hope Mother will approve of us."Mrs. Vena was silent; she couldn't say a word. Even though Amanda had given birth to two grandchildren for her, she didn't want Amanda to be her second daughter-in-law because she didn't want to have a poor daughter-in-law.Henry smiled sarcastically, seeing his mother just silent and without saying a single word. "As I thought, Mom was nice to Amanda and just wanted to make her miserable."Amanda held Henry's hand so that the man wouldn't continue what he was saying."Amanda, we were fooled by this old woman. Do you still believe her?" Henry started the conversation in a firm tone."I'm sure Mom has changed, especially now that we have Alan and Alana. I'm sure your gue
Henry stood in front of Amanda. Expectant gazes turned to Amanda, who was sitting in front of him. Silence immediately enveloped the room; only the sound of the clock ticking on the wall could be heard in the ears of the four of them."It's been a long time since we lived apart, Amanda," Henry said tremblingly, trying to suppress his nervousness. "We've been through a lot together, and honestly, I can't live without you."Even though he felt nervous, Henry dared to propose to his ex-wife again in front of his assistant and secretary."We have been apart for so long, but my love for you has never changed. Even though you once hurt me because of a misunderstanding, the love in my heart never faded."Amanda looked at Henry with a face full of doubt. Her mind and heart were racing. Remembering the reasons behind their decision to separate made Amanda's heart cut like a dagger. She knows that mistakes and misunderstandings have ruined the love they once had."But..." Amanda looked down; sh
William arrived at his house after Mr. Anderson came home. He ran into Henry, who was going home."Boss, when are you arriving?" William asked."Where are you from?" Instead of answering, Henry asked his assistant again."I ...." William stopped speaking when the cell phone in his pocket rang non-stop. William reached into it and looked at his cell phone screen. "Mr Jo? Looks like there is important information," said William to Henry.Willy answered a call from the butler at the Boss's house."Sir, there is important information about the old lady," said Mr Jo from behind the telephone."We'll go there now. Let's talk at home.""Are you back, sir?""Boss and I are home," answered William, "we'll be there soon."William hung up the phone immediately. "Boss, I'll change clothes first. We're going to your house now.""Your clothes are wet; where have you been?" Henry was surprised to see that his assistant's clothes were wet."It was raining there. I got caught in the rain when I got ba
"Thank you, darling." William kissed Tiara's hand many times."Darling?" Tiara was surprised. "We are not married yet.""We can start getting used to it now." William looked at Tiara with a smile. He didn't expect the final choice to fall on the boss's secretary. "I promise to treat you well."Tiara smiled while muttering to herself. 'Hopefully, my decision is not wrong.'Meanwhile, at William's house, Amanda and their children had just arrived home after returning from abroad."Mom, why don't good father come home with us?" Alana asked while leaning her body against the back of the chair."There are jobs that only a good father can do. So, he has to come back earlier than us." Henry tried to explain to his daughter even though he didn't know what important business it was, which made William so in a hurry to return."Good father has a lot of work; now, we are always accompanied by Henry's father. So it's not lonely anymore even though we rarely see good fathers." Alan began to feel c
"I'll get you some drinking water first; Boss must be thirsty." Tiara became increasingly nervous. "Please come in!"Tiara opened the door wide and rushed into the living room. William followed Tiara into her house."Please sit down, Boss! I'll get you a drink first."Tiara immediately went to the kitchen to get drinking water. Arriving in the kitchen, Tiara slumped and sat on the floor."Oh my God, what should I do?" Tiara held her chest while sitting cross-legged on the floor.A few minutes later, she woke up and stood up after calming down. Then, Tiara brought a glass of water for William."Please drink, Boss!"'She was in the kitchen for ten minutes but only brought me water. What was she doing in the kitchen all that time?' thought William.William took the drinking glass provided by Tiara. He drank all the water because he was also nervous."Do you want more water, Boss?" Tiara asked when William put the empty glass on the table."Yes, but it would be even better if it had taste,
Tiara sat in the living room, her right hand holding her cell phone and her left hand holding her chest. Tiara felt nervous, and her heart was pounding. She didn't know what to say.Her Boss was a man who was cold towards women. William couldn't joke with her like that, but Tiara was still confused. Did she hear wrong or what?"Tiara... did you hear what I said?" William confirmed that the telephone line was still connected."Yes, Boss.""Tiara, I have thought about this very seriously. I have known you long and am sure you are the right person to be my wife."Tiara felt her heart beat faster when she heard William's words. She couldn't think what she would say to her Boss.'It turns out I didn't hear wrong,' said Tiara to herself."Tiara, I need your opinion."William needs answers from Tiara. He couldn't continue talking about his plans while Tiara kept quiet."Sorry, Boss, but what do you mean by the right person?" Finally, Tiara dared to speak to William.William took a deep breat
After Mrs. Vena and Mr. Oeberon went home, Amanda took the children into their room to rest. Meanwhile, William and Henry were still in the living room.Henry sat opposite William. His face was worried when he saw his mother suddenly being very kind to her former daughter-in-law, Amanda."William," Henry called, then exhaled roughly. "I'm still unsure about my mother," he said quietly.His assistant, William, frowned. "What do you mean, Boss?""William, you have to do an investigation about my mother," Henry said in a serious voice. "I felt there was something wrong with her attitude towards Amanda."William looked at Henry in surprise. "But, Boss, may I know the reason behind this request? Does Boss know that Mrs. Vena has evil plans for the Twins?"Henry took a deep breath before answering. "I'm sure she won't hurt Alan or Alana, but she's planning something evil for Amanda. I can't trust my mother because she hates Amanda so much."William nodded in understanding. "Yes, Boss. I wil
"Amanda, have the children met their grandmother?" William changed the subject. He didn't know what to answer at all because he didn't have any female friends."Not yet," answered Amanda, "we will meet here today. Maybe soon...." Amanda's words stopped when she heard the bell ring in William's apartment. "That's probably them.""I'll open the door first." William rushed to open the door, and sure enough, Mrs. Vena and Mr. Oeberon came. "Please come in, sir, ma'am."William took a few steps back to give way to his boss's parents."William, please help me so that my two grandchildren don't hate me," said Mrs. Vena quietly. He was worried that Alan and Alana would be angry with her for trying to harm her two grandchildren.Amanda had allowed her ex-mother-in-law to meet Alan and Alana, but the woman was only ready to meet today. William must also assist because Amanda knows her husband and children will not defend her."Don't worry, Amanda never instilled hatred towards anyone in the hea
