"You're asking for a second chance? Are you all right? They hurt you, Anna. They don't even think you exist. Are you up to the same problem?"
"Yes. It's okay to have to face the problem repeatedly. I know it's exhausting, but let me try one more time. If I can't, come and take me away."

Jakarta, March 2012
A magnificent house in one of the big cities in Jakarta. A couple has been with their daughter for the past seven years. Two-story house dominated by black and white. In the middle of the yard there is also a fountain and many trees that grow to make the house look very beautiful.
The sound of wind was heard from outside. Around the house planted palm trees, bonsai and various other trees to the backyard of the house. On the front side of the house, beautiful flower-embedded pots are lined up next to the gazebo near a small fish pond. Around the house is lined with two-meter walls.
The happy life of one family can not be separated from the journey of their household ark since they knew, married, and had two children. Their son lives abroad with his uncle and another daughter who is so sweet is now seven years old.
The girl is currently in a room on the second floor. She was with a woman in her forties who was busy braiding her thick black hair. Her name is Anna Natalia Dusk, often called Anna by her extended family.
Little Anna was standing in front of a large oval-shaped mirror. Her little hands were busy combing Barbie doll hair on her dresser as she conversed with the nanny.
"It's over, Miss Anna. Non-Aunt's hair has been tidied up. Non is as beautiful as princess Disney" she said, chuckling softly.
"Ehehe.thank you so much Auntie. Now Anna wants to go out and see me first."
"Good, Non." Anna got out of the chair and came out of the room. He stood at the end of the stairs while staring at his father's presence in the living room alone and busy with his work.
"Dad.." called him from the top floor as he went down dozens of stairs approaching his father's whereabouts which turned out to be busy with his office work.
His round eyes could see the father was struggling with a laptop on his lap and a pile of files scattered on the table.
"Dad? Why didn't you answer Anna's call, anyway?" his whine pulled the father's black t-shirt making the laptop over the man's thigh sway.
"Dad's busy, honey. What was? You need anything?" ryan asked his daughter without even glancing at her.
Ryan Williams's. Successful entrepreneurs are famous in the city of Jakarta thanks to their property companies engaged in hospitality, resorts, malls and even apartments spread across several regions in other cities.
"Anna's bothering me about work, huh?" Anna looked into the eyes of her father's eagle.
The girl immediately put on her pouting face made Ryan immediately finish his job with a heavy sigh. The man was forced to put his laptop on the table and glanced at the whereabouts of Anna sitting at the side of the table.
Ryan grabbed Anna's wrist. "No Honey. Who said you were distracted? I don't feel disturbed by anyone, including my own children. Come here, sit by me."
Anna with a flat face expressionlessly approached her father. "So this beautiful father's son wants something from his father so his work every day annoys him..."
Anna shook her head and swept her lips for a few inches. "Anna doesn't bother dad. Anna asked, I answered not to disturb. This father." said Anna hit Ryan's chest hard. The man immediately laughed and kissed Anna's chubby cheeks gently.
"Yes, yeah. I'm sorry, yeah. So now what do you want, hmm?"
"It's dad..." Anna pulled out the iPad from behind her body. His little hand moved over the screen of that box thing. A picture of the night market.
"Dad's son wants to go to the night market?" Anna nodded cheerfully and her eyes and lips smiled.
"Anna wants to go there, Dad. Dad also never took Anna there .. earlier this morning at school, my friend Anna whose name Dian told me that in that place a lot of games. Dian was also bought a snow doll by her father. Anna wants a snow doll, too..."
"What doll did you give me that was lacking too, hmm?" Ryan cupped Anna's cheeks. Staring straight at Anna's glowing eyeballs.
"Where are you going, Mas?" cut someone. Ryan who was busy with his daughter straightened up. He looked up when he heard the wife's voice.
The figure of a graceful woman wearing a brocade dress with the waist of the dress so fitting attached to her body limited to the knee, from a famous brand came to approach, carrying a tray containing a cup of coffee and sitting next to Anna.
She's Naura, the sweet girl's mother and Ryan's wife. Naura's face still looked youthful, there were no wrinkles on the woman's face. His eyes were round just like Anna's.
"The coffee is Mas" said Naura, putting the coffee cup near her husband's work file.
"Thank you dear..." Ryan smiled as one hand rubbed Naura's soft arm.
"So what did Anna say, Mas?"
"It's Ma, Anna wants to go to the night market he said. This morning a friend of his told him that there are a lot of games. I'd like to buy a snow doll, too."
After hearing Ryan's remark, Naura immediately glanced at Anna who was busy sliding her Ipad screen. "So your son wants to go to the night market? Want to buy a new doll, too?"
"Yes Mother. We go there yes. Anna wants to buy a snow doll. Anna also wants a new doll. If Anna doesn't have Dian, she's definitely tracking Anna."
"Yes yes, my dear. If you let us go tonight but otherwise Mother can't. Mother can not bring a car, especially your father does not like if Mother goes alone. Ask me if I can't go there?"
Anna looked up at her father. "Can't dad?" tanyakanya.
"May, of course I can," Ryan replied with a faint smile towards Anna. "Whatever your son says you must be a father. You're a father's whiz." Ryan carried Anna and raised her higher, making Anna laugh happily.

A few hours passed, Anna was ready with a knee-length flower dress chosen by the nanny. The girl stood in front of her aunt.
"Auntie doesn't want to go with Anna to the night market? Anna's friend said there is a lot of food Bi, later we can eat well there. There's a game too, Anna will be bought a snow doll gift with dad."
"Yes, not yes. If you get a lot of dolls, don't forget Auntie is given one."
"Can. Later Anna loves a big teddy bear for Auntie," she said with a jubilant laugh down her bed.
After that, the Aunt slowly led Anna down the stairs until she reached the living room.
"Dad, Mother, hurry! Anna is ready!"
In the room, Ryan and Naura were preparing to continue laughing because of their impatient daughter.
"I'm sure Mas, Anna must get bored there quickly. Maybe he asked to come home because he was sleepy."
"It's okay Ma. The important thing is that he is happy and not curious about what a night market is like. Mas is also happy that he can tell his happiness to his classmates."
"This is your jacket, Mommy."
Naura gives Ryan a thick black jacket. After that, the two walked out of the room to approach her daughter who was sitting sweetly on the big sofa with Auntie Rina.
Naura wrapped her scarf around her neck. It is very vulnerable to the night air. Not forgetting the wind oil he put in his bag.
Seeing his father and his parents coming, Anna immediately got off the sofa and ran towards Ryan-grabbing the father's index finger and then walked along to the car that was parked in the yard.
"Tonight let me bring Mr. Anton's car. You can come home early tonight because tomorrow morning we leave early for the office."
"Thank you."
"Don't your child sit in the back?" naura asked turned to Anna who was sitting sweetly in the back seat.
"Father Papa Mother. Anna is not a coward. Anna is brave as a father. Father of the superhero Anna!" The sound of the girl made her parents smile.
Arriving in the middle of their journey, suddenly the car behind them, a few tens of meters away honked so strongly and repeatedly.
Ryan glanced at the rearview mirror. Far behind them were two black vans being scrambled and the car horn that kept ringing did not stop either.
Ryan had given them a way to pass, but the black car in the back ignored him.
"It's been a night like this still haggling around with the car. Like a drunken man" Ryan murmured after seeing the black van behind them.
"What's drunk, Mas?" said Naura glanced.
"That's the car behind us since then just casually Mas see bring his car. It looks like the man is drunk. He might have had an accident."
Naura looked back and sure enough she was a black van chasing in the streets that are not wide.
"Maybe they want to get ahead of us. Just love the way let them pass first" Naura told her husband.
Ryan also turned on the right-cent light-picking the car behind ahead of them. However, unexpectedly, the car in the back actually hit the back of the car violently making one rear light break suddenly.
The sound of laughter being so loud suddenly sounded from behind. Ryan screeched violently as he glanced past the glass on the dashboard.
He also heard the sound of laughter that made the man upset. "What do they think?!" furious Ryan glanced back at the rearview above the dashboard.
The second time their car was hit from behind until the sound of the impact was very loud making Anna who was sitting behind released her seltbel and touched Ryan's shoulder.
"Dad!! Anna was afraid." said Anna who sat in the backseat. The violent clash that made her stagger forward further scared Anna and panicked.
"Relax, don't worry. I promise I won't let you get hurt."
"Why would you like to do something? Don't, don't do that. What if they were?" cecar Naura stirred when she saw her husband about to pull over the car.
"It's good that we continue the journey until the front of the police station there. We can make a report to the police."
When Ryan's eyes shifted to his wife, their car was again squeezed to hit the roadblock. Ryan immediately took control of the steering wheel and returned to the track.
"DEATH YOU WILLIAMS!"
Laughter from the car behind them when they managed to disturb the comfort made Ryan feel his blood boiling. This is too late.
"Damn! What they want!" ryan grimly glanced at them many times from the glass on it. With anger rising overhead, Ryan raised the speed of the car.
"Mas.. slowly," exclaimed Naura began to panic when she felt the speed of the car increasing rapidly.
"They seem to want Naura's evil intentions. Hold it!!" Tell Ryan.
The car is traveling at high speed. Several bullets started to be fired at the car. Ryan's facial expression quickly changed drastically with a frown. His jaw started to twitch.
"What's up, Mom? They are no longer chasing. They're not behind us! Put Mas down, put it down..."
Naura touched her husband's arm. The speed of the car driving on the straight road made Naura terrified and trembling.
"Damn. It must be them!" said Ryan while stepping on the brakes that have not worked at all. The car brakes went blank and Ryan tried his best
"Why Mas?" panic Naura.
"The brakes, Ma, the brakes don't work. I tried to hit the brakes but couldn't. It seems to be them..."
"Dad! In front there's a sharp bend."
Hearing his daughter speaking out from behind, Ryan immediately turned his head and squinted at the street at the end there. Sharp bends where accidents happen often. Without careful calculation, Ryan quickly slammed the steering wheel of the car.
The car hit a hard roadblock. Seeing the situation quite gripping, Naura immediately grabbed her daughter's hand, held Anna in her arms and moved Anna into the lap of the husband.
He let out his head slightly staring at the state of the car. Their car is really in a bad position. Just a little bit of them moving could make the three of them enter the abyss.
Naura took a deep breath. Whether it had been a few pulls, his legs were squeezing with this kind of situation. She looked at Anna and her husband. Just a little Naura moved, he could make sure they would all plunge freely into the abyss. Naura's tears flowed down her cheeks.
"Mas.." - Naura with a frightened face looked at Ryan. Her eyes glazed over with the cries that had been damming up in the eye patch.
"Don't do anything silly on your mind, Naura! I'm not ready for that."
"I'm sorry, Mom. There is no other road than this" Naura said as the car moved slightly and the left front tyre was already on the brink.
"Mother.." said Anna trembling. The girl's hand was stretched out forward. Naura could only smile bitterly at their current state.
Naura's hand stretched forward to grab Anna's fingers. The sudden movement makes the car move slowly.
"Right save Anna, Mas! You must stay alive! Get our daughter out now! This car is going to fall. Happy Anna with the woman she truly loves... Whatever it is, Anna has to be happy. I beg...."
Ryan moved his body slowly. "What are you saying, huh?! No. gabe. We all must have survived! Get your hands. No one's leaving tonight, no one, Naura."
"No Mas! Take care of our daughter. You must love her and be happy for her at all times. This.. wear and hold the necklace Mother yes Darling," shrieked Naura looked at the face of Anna who had been in tears.
"Sir Naura. Don't do that!!"
With tears that had washed his cheeks, he, Naura quickly moved her body a little - taking off her belly and quickly opened the steering door near Ryan and forcefully pushed the body of her husband who was holding Anna in his arms out of the car.
"Sorry Mother, dear."
There was not a word of farewell spoken. The car crashed into a ravine followed by a huge explosion that left Ryan and Anna screaming hysterically.
"Naura!!"
"Yetoo!" anna shouted running after her mother who had fallen into the abyss. The thick smoke billowing from the bottom of the ravine made Anna who was looking at it with her eyes head instantly cry hysterically.
"Mother!! Don't take Anna's mother Lord!"
"Don't come any closer, Anna. Already, please love your Mother..."
"Engga! Anna doesn't want to!" anna shouted in rebellion from within her father's arms.
"Come, Dad! Come on, please Mother..."
Anna was crying so hard. Ryan pressed his arms against Anna, stroking the top of her head until the moment passed Anna lost consciousness. He fainted in his father's arms.
