            Finally Devina told Alicia her mother, of course she was surprised, and the events that Alicia had experienced, made her believe her daughter's story immediately. Without thinking it was just a girl's imagination, or a dream, but there was nothing she could do, in her feeling of getting answers, the questions she had been asking, she said, and at the same time feel sad, for what should his beloved daughter feel.

            The wedding day has finally arrived, Davina is now feeling very happy, and like there is no burden on her body, Alicia tries to ask about what Devina told her yesterday, she said, but the woman had already forgotten about him, I mean completely forgotten, even her sad feelings that were yesterday had disappeared.

            Seeing that, Alicia felt worried and at the same time grateful, at the same time, her only daughter who used to look cheerful, was finally able to be happy again.

            After that, Devina's days were filled with blessings and happiness, she was blessed with many children, who

handsome and beautiful catik, just like him, but strangely one of his daughters, born with red hair, which does not look at all like Devina or her husband, indeed the daughter inherited the beautiful face of Devina, and the beautiful eyes of her husband.

            So beautiful and clean eyes owned by his daughter, like someone who is still innocent and does not know anything, so given the name Catina which means similar, like, to his daughter.

            Once her husband suspected Devina of having an affair, but it was not possible, in this village no one dared to touch or even glance at his wife, he said, everyone respected her like a royal princess, and she herself knew that Devina loved her very much, so it was impossible, just by chance she thought, it could have been far before, they have offspring with red hair.

            But on the other hand, forgotten memories begin to overflow and show Devina little by little, forgotten memories, through a dream that never ends.

            Devina feels strange with her dream, it feels too real to be said just an ordinary dream, and feels like a memory, Devina finally did an investigation, secretly of course, of course, what menuntu Davina back in the past, where he first met friends and childhood love.

            But this time, the one she met was not the same person, but her own daughter, Catina walked out from behind a very thick fog, Davina was surprised, she said, and fear and worry at the same time.

            When asked what she was doing there, Catina simply replied, “I'm playing with my new friend mom” she replied, Davina was shocked and could not believe hearing her son's answer, “with whom?” The question came to his mind, but Catina did not answer anything.

            Looking at her mother's shocked face, and as if in disbelief it was Catina pulling Devina's arm, stalking her through the mist, and carrying the two of them up to the middle of a very beautiful forest.

            The forest looked so beautiful, as untouched, that he was amazed by the beauty that was before their eyes.

            While Davina was still sculpting, amidst the beauty she had never seen, Catina had already left, and was playing with the various creatures that lived there.

            Strange, beautiful creatures that become the theme of play, hearing the sound of the joyful laughter of his son made Devina realized, he said, it turns out that the dream that has appeared is not just an ordinary sleeping flower, but a memory.

            A feeling of happiness enveloped his heart, a little hoping to meet his childhood friend, and then Devina remembered, what if his daughter felt the same way, the memory loss was not something she wanted to feel for Catina.

            The thought gave Devina goosebumps, and a familiar voice in her ears rang out from

behind, the voice was slightly different, from the one he remembered, slightly heavy, and the figure he saw at this moment, was much taller and mature.

            Catina ran up to the man, and fell into his arms, and the little girl walked over

approaching Davina.

            Unstoppable tears, flooding Davina's cheeks, and hugging her, the man simply smiled, without much

speechlessly.

            The long-awaited reunion, unfortunately, can only last for a while, given the dark day, and they have to go home before dinner.

            At once they returned home, and tomorrow the mother and child left again, to the new world they found, and the next day the mother and the child left, every day they both go and come back before dark so as not to be discovered. The routine ended up being a little secret for the two of them, a secret conversation that always repeated before they went to sleep, to remember every minute spent, because they did not know until when Davina could return to the place of time

the little one that missed him.

            Every day too, Catina learns unique new things, about plants, fairies, even a little magic and

so, Davina was also happy to see her daughter who was actively studying, without knowing the consequences.

            Until finally the man said, “this is the last time we met” said the man.

             Davina was surprised and confused to hear it, while the girl was calm, as if she knew what was going to happen, the man explained, nothing lasts forever, nothing lasts forever, including the chance that Davina could see the world behind the fog, and this was already her final deadline, Catina could come back again and again, just like she was during Catina's lifetime, the feeling Catina had was still pure and not mixed with anything, that allowed her to stay.

            Devina was envious and unfair, even to her own daughter, Devina was filled with jealousy, which made her unable to think logically.

            “There is one more way” the man then says, “if you are able to exchange the most valuable things for you, then you can come back again, then,” his words are very confusing and full of many meanings.

             “You can only choose one time, what you give will determine how long you can return to kini” he said adding, “sadly nothing is free.”

            Davina is confused, trying to understand what situation she is facing, she does not know what is really happening, which is real and not. But deep inside, Devina knows exactly what she wants, she knows what she means, and she understands every word.

            It was only a matter of rightness that made Devina worried, but it all depended on which point of view to judge.

            Davina took the decision, with her eyes closed, selfishness took hold of her, handed her the most precious thing to the man, without a second thought.

            After it was all quiet, the woman opened her eyes, realizing something enormous had disappeared from the front, the fog had now disappeared, and the, the beautiful forest inside is now open with beds, everyone can see and enjoy the beauty that has been hidden.

            Realizing the change, the entire village came, wanting to watch with their eyes

respectively, everything was made stunned by the beauty that had been closed, and now opened for eternity, the man did hold his promise, and the most precious thing for Devina disappeared right then and there.
