" my daughter..." Rebbeca cupped his daughter's face, as if he could not believe that the girl in his arms was the long-awaited princess and her arrival.
"honey.., look at her face so much like yours..." Rebbeca landed a kiss on the girl's cheek and hugged her body back.
" i miss you.., very.., oh..., Lord.., my daughter came home, she came home.." her eyes looked at David with a nod by David.
Aralia just silently pecked, suddenly tears fell onto her cheeks. Richard approaches them, two women who make him fall in love and are willing to sacrifice anything at this time in front of his eyes, hugging and letting go of each other for 20 years because of an egoism and its incompetence.
" You don't want to hug your Daddy...., baby...???" richard asked, letting the hug slip. Richard smiled at his daughter and hugged Aralia.
" you're finally home..."
" Aralia.., forgive Daddy....." Richard seemed to be holding something turbulent in his heart.
" we'd better talk inside.., here the view is not good." said David.
" ah..yeah, you're right, son, let's go in.., there's a lot of things that mommy wants to show you..." Rebbeca takes Aralia's hand into the main mass.
" we're up..., mommy wants to take you somewhere.., come on baby." pinta Rebbeca. Aralia looked at David, smiling at him.
" i'm waiting for you down here." he said with his arms outstretched stroking Aralia's bangs. The girl smiled and nodded her head.
Rebbeca took Aralia to a room, where there were many clothes and some neatly arranged cloth.
" come here, baby..." Aralia approaching.
" you remember this." pointed to an outfit with her boutique logo in Paris..
" this..." Aralia looked at Rebbeca.
" Yes.this is the place where I made special clothes for you, red stuffed toys with ribbons on the right, yellow backpack with a home picture, thick blanket with tulip carvings..., you remember...???" Rebbeca smiled as she stroked Aralia's cheek.
" mommy makes her own with both hands mommy.., mommy hopes you keep warm there.., hope you don't lack anything.mommy..." Rebbeca was silent and could not continue...Aralia was shocked, a second later she cried and hugged Rebbeca. He did not expect if his Mommy was never far from him, his mommy was always nearby, even all the objects he needed, his own mommy who made for him...should he now be angry at the situation or sad at the life that has played him.
" mommy please forgive mommy, forgive mommy.., don't hate us.., your Daddy..." Rebbeca's been rummaging incessantly. His chest was now tight.., very tight.., he continued to hug the woman in front of him, letting the woman vent her grief all this time, he knew that not only was he injured but that the woman he was currently holding was far more in pain, hurt and sorrow than he was.
Rebbeca took off her arms and cupped her daughter's face.., "dear, mommy please don't hate your Daddy, believe me, if there's any other way we really don't want to choose this breakup, Your dad was devastated after your departure, he felt so guilty that he couldn't keep you by our side. Your dad is just a regular guy, he doesn't know how to fight or fight with guns like Kesya and your girlfriend David..."
" i'm grateful that you chose the right partner, at least because he's now that we're meeting, you don't know what your lover has done to keep you safe while in Paris...mommy's so happy.., that guy looks so in love with you..."
" David...???"
" yes, David sent all trained men, secured the area, even servants and special cooks to serve you..." Aralia just smiled.
Yes, the man is the best, if in his eyes a David is a cold guy who sucks now that he knows David is a gentle, charismatic, and very good man.
" it's very good." great-grandson Aralia.Rebbeca stroked her daughter's unraveling hair. Suddenly he remembered something...
" dear, how's Kesya ....???"
" he's married..."
" What.., why wasn't I told..." Rebbeca left with an angry face. It looks cute and adorable, making Ara laugh.
" what's so funny..???"
" Kesya always said, if I was upset and very angry my face like mommy.., I was confused, but now...." Ara laughed again making Rebbeca smile looking at her daughter.
" let's...., let's go to your room...., you must be curious, right????, the room is always locked, but somehow there can be eavesdroppers there..., if only Mr. Daniel hadn't come, we wouldn't have known that in this house there were eyes and enemies waiting for your return." said Rebbeca limp. Aralia squinted her eyes.
" enemy...????, eavesdropper.....?????, you mean mommy...???"
" ah .., so you don't know yet, one day before you came here, Son David sent Mr. Daniel to inspect the entire main house and there were a lot of tappers and scouts here..., and the troublemaker was caught this morning just before your arrival..."
" they fought very brutally, very scary.., mommy's knee to the point of wanting to get off her hinges..."
" caught...???" Aralia recalled what Daniel said to someone just before he got to this house, while in the car.
" jeez ...., you don't know baby...???" Aralia shook her head.
" David didn't tell you...??" Aralia returned to shake.
" it looks like he kept it a secret from you so you wouldn't worry..." Aralia nodded trying to think positively.
" come here baby..., come in..., this is a special room for you, do you like.." His hand pulled his daughter slowly in.
" it's so beautiful." said Ara...
" ah, thank goodness.., oh.yes.., this room directly faces the garden beside where there are many beautiful flowers and a small gazebo for you to immediately rest without someone knowing..." say it again.
" but now right in front there are two guards, he said to keep you safe..." Rebbeca mendes*h as soon as she told her daughter everything.

Back to the living room
Mark and Jack show up when Aralia gets to the top.
" Sir..."
" Sir..."
" why so long..."
" sorry, they seem to know if it has been suspected.., there was resistance but they can still be paralyzed.." great-granddaughter Mark with his head down.
" Ck..., where are they...???" ask David.
" they were brought to the old barn, at the behest of Lord Daniel..."
" i'm afraid they're eyes that are sent to know where we are, sir." Daniel said. David sighed as his hand pinched the temple sign he was worried about now.
" i want the guard on tightening.and for them, finish them all tonight." said David.
" Well, sir.." they all looked down and answered in unison.
" when will the press conference be held 'Mister Richard...???" ask David.
" so soon..., isn't my daughter home, they should know that my daughter is back isn't it...???"
" can you postpone my return for another week." - David asked.
" is something going to happen...???" ask Richard.
" no.., it's just that I feel more at ease if I'm next to my Aralia.." she confirmed Richard.
" Daughter., you're my daughter's boyfriend.Don't call me a stranger, I'm so uncomfortable, and can you be honest with me, if something bad is going to happen , I wish I knew too, although it can't help but at least 'I don't feel like a fool here..."
David sighed..." Your daughter.., his arrival has been awaited by the enemy.., and this time the enemy you face is not a random person, he is an organization that moves in the world of mafia and your enemies..., he's one of my biggest rivals." said David staring at Richard intently.
" ba...how can...???"
" Alex..., all on Alex's orders." now Daniel's answering.
" my sister..." Richard clenched his hands until his veins came out and his palms paled.
" if one day Alex dares to touch my Aralia.., sorry.
" the war is finally happening...." Daniel.
