5 Years Later...
Aiden is now a lawyer who is quite reliable in N City. Which was his goal from a long time ago, until he took the Faculty of Law. But his desire was delayed due to an obsession from his mother, Elena who wanted her son to be a presdire in WT Corp which is a Wiratama family company.
But because of her obsession, she acted fraudulently and now Elena has to go to prison, her father died because he lost all his property. And Aiden chose to stay away and restart his career from scratch.
Without feeling now he has begun to succeed in 5 years and become a reliable and reliable Lawyer in the city of N.
That morning Aiden walked into the apartment kitchen and made a sandwich with a cup of coffee for breakfast.
He brought his breakfast to the pantry which was right near the wall of glass that became the boundary of the room with the balcony of the apartment. He began to devour his food in silence, while reading the newspaper.
Yeah, Aiden's used to living alone and doing everything himself. The figure that used to be so friendly has now turned into a figure that is so quiet and very closed.
After finishing breakfast and coffee, he closed his newspaper again and brought dirty utensils and washed it.
After that, he went inside his room and started preparing to leave for work.

On his way to the Law Firm where he worked, he saw a girl crying by the side of the road.
Aiden marginalized his car, then drove down his car. He walked up to the little boy and knelt before him.
"Why you?" aiden asked the little girl who lowered her head and sobbed.
Hearing Aiden's voice, the little girl turned her head up and her innocent gaze met Aiden's sharp eyes immediately.
These eyes.
"Uncle, I want to go home. hikzz.." sobbed the little girl.
"Where's your mom?" ask Aiden.
"I don't know. Just as I was walking, my grip slipped off," he exclaimed.
Aiden turned around to look for the figure of his mother but he did not find.
"Haven't cried anymore, Uncle's got candy. You want?" aiden reached into his pocket and took out a piece of candy and gave it to the little girl.
"But I'm forbidden from receiving goods or food from strangers" he said amusingly.
Aiden smiled with complete understanding.
"Smart girl. This candy is still wrapped neatly, and I have no intention of doing anything evil" cried Aiden but the girl was silent. "Well if you don't believe me, I'll eat it." Aiden ate the candy in his hand and showed nothing strange.
"Here you eat, so that you will not be sad anymore" cried Aiden again taking the candy and giving it to the girl.
"Thank you, Uncle." This time the little girl accepted.
For some reason seeing the smile of this little girl warmed Aiden's heart. He wanted to hug the little girl in front of him.
"What's your name?" ask Aiden.
"My name is Jasmine, but Uncle can call me Mine."
"Mine..."
The girl smiled as she nodded.
"Whose handsome Uncle's name?" ask the girl.
"Uncle's name, A..."
"Mine!" the call made them both look.
"Mother Lift...." Jasmine ran over and hugged the woman. Women who are old enough, maybe about 50 years old.
Aiden moved from his seat and looked towards the two of them who were seen hugging with relief.
"O Lord, thank goodness you are okay.
exclaim that woman.
"I'm fine, Mother Lift."
The woman then released Jasmine's embrace and stood upright facing Aiden.
"Mother Raise, this handsome Uncle who was with me. And gave me candy so I wouldn't cry anymore" Jasmine exclaimed. That little girl looks so smart and adorable.
"Uncle has been good to me" cried Jasmine.
"Thank you, Mister. Sorry to be such a hassle" exclaimed the woman.
"Together" replied Aiden.
"Then excuse us" cried the woman and left while leading Jasmine.
"See you, Uncle Handsome." Jasmine waved her hand while displaying her wide smile.
Aiden smiled at him.
Aiden was even surprised by himself, he was able to smile sincerely again, after 5 years had passed. In fact, he could never smile again or feel happy for 5 years. His life was gray and dark with no clear purpose. But today, it was like getting a light that made his heart warm and his lips were able to re-carve a smile that had long disappeared.
"I wish I could meet the boy again" Aiden muttered.
