Morning greeted him with warm light. Time has shown at 7 and that means Friska must immediately rush to the campus where she studied. Friska is a student at the economics faculty. He took the morning lecture hour every day because he had to work in a cafe owned by his friend. Friska had to work while in college because it was only in that way that she could survive and get an education.

Flashbacks

Friska Hallin Amanda is a child who lives alone. The Friska family used to be a simple but happy family. His father worked as an ordinary PNS while his mother did not work and took care of the house and Friska. He had no brothers, in other words an only child. One day 5-year-old Friska was taken by her mother to the market. All the way back to her house Friska was constantly smiling while humming a little because her mother bought a doll that was now in her arms, Friska was very happy even though the doll was far from expensive.

Suddenly the step of the mother stopped which resulted in Friska also stopped because her hands were grasped by her mother. Friska was confused and was about to ask the mother, but when she raised her head so she could see the face of the woman who had given birth to her, Friska was surprised because what she found was a very deep look of sadness and hurt. Friska does not understand clearly about the look of her mother but the tears of the mother are enough to witness that her mother is sad at this time

Friska followed her mother's gaze and was shocked to see her father who was with another woman across the street, and now they were hugging like lovers. Though 2 days ago his father permission to leave the city because there is a comparative study from the Elementary School where he teaches. Friska just kept quiet and didn't ask about the situation because she knew it would only make her mother even sadder. Friska grabbed her mother's hand trying to channel power through her small hand.

As if understanding that her daughter had seen her father with another woman, Friska's mother rubbed her tears and tried to smile at Friska.

"Darling, Friska wait here for a second.. I want to see you first" Dena said. However, she had to resuscitate her husband and make sure that this was all a misunderstanding, however, Dena did not want this misunderstanding to adversely affect her household.

"Friska wants to come along ma'am." said Friska whining.

"Beautiful in a moment, mom will be back" said Dena, she did not want her little daughter to hear adult talk like this. He didn't want to poison Friska's innocent brain. Then he entrusted Friska to the security guard at the minimarket near where they were standing today

"Sir, I leave my son for a moment.. I have a little business across the street. I will pick you up again, just sebentaaar" said Dena assured the security guard. She just doesn't want to be suspected of being the mother who dumped her child. Because the case is happening right now

"Good ma'am. "reply with the security guard. After which, Dena looked at her little princess who was looking at her heartily. There was a sense of heaviness leaving her daughter, but she immediately brushed it off and promised in her heart. 'Mother will take your father home to our arms Friska' Inner Dena then crouch down in front of Friska who is still hugging her new doll.

"Don't be naughty, baby, be a strong woman. Friska's dear mother until anytime" somehow Dena said that. He also did not realize that his mouth said so. He kissed Friska all over the face and went across the street. She saw her husband and the woman had started walking away, so she sped up and ran across the street. She did not care about the circumstances around, what she had in mind right now was to bring her husband home and be happy again with their little daughter, Friska.

But he did not realize that a truck was speeding fast on the road until when everyone shouted he did not hear it and the truck driver did not have time to step on the brakes until..

BUKKKKP.....

Accidents were inevitable, Dena's body bounced far enough and made the streets full of blood. And Dena ended her breath in that place as well.

"MOM!!!!" the voice of the cry of the little boy became the first voice that accompanied Dena's departure. Friska is the poor kid who witnessed it all. Since the departure of her mother, her pair of beautiful eyes never let go watching the mother's movements. Until the accident happened, the mother died right in front of both eyes.

Flash back end

After feeling her appearance was neat, Friska took her backpack and rushed out of the room. This morning she had class with mr. Irwandi is a famous killer throughout the faculty of economics, so he did not want to take the risk with the lecturer. This morning Friska woke up as fast as usual and had time to cook breakfast for her and also Digo and Vano. How much he has lived in this apartment. So, the stomach of the person who is here has become his responsibility. That's how he thinks it is

Friska leaves the apartment after writing a note to Digo that she is going to college. He also ordered an online motorcycle taxi to take him to campus because of the distance from the campus. If he used to be able to go on foot to campus because his apartment is quite close to campus, but not for now.

Upon arrival at the college, Friska heads straight to her class and prepares to start today with vigor. He exhaled slowly and then clenched his hands in the air

"Friska's spirit! Today will be fun!" friska encouraged herself. That is what Friska says to herself every day. Though he went through more difficulties than pleasures as he every day said. But for Friska it doesn't matter

Meanwhile, elsewhere, Ardigo looks newly awake while narrowing his eyes because the sun has entered the window of his room. He looked at his son who was still sleeping next to him. If usually he would wake up early and rush to the office, but not for today until the next 3 days because he took his wedding leave.

"Vano... Let's get up" he woke up his son.

"Engghh" just a whimper came out of Vano's little lips

"Honey, let's wake up, Vano will have to go to school" said Ardigo again. Finally Vano opened his eyes and adjusted his eyes to the light coming into the room, Vano looked cute with his expression that made Ardigo chuckle a little.

Really similar to me. Inner Ardigo, then they rise together with Vano who is in his arms. Ardigo takes Vano to the bathroom and starts bathing him.

After they are both presentable, Vano in his Kindergarten uniform and Ardigo in a casual dress that is different from the usual days who always wear formal clothes complete with a suit. Now Ardigo only wears a plain black T-shirt with knee-length pants to make him look like a teenager and make anyone who sees him not believe that he has had a son who is 4 years old

They went down the stairs while laughing together, really a compact father and son. Ardigo walked into the kitchen to make breakfast toast as usual. But he was surprised by the delicious-looking fried rice complete with beef-eye eggs that had been served on the table. Instantly he remembered that now not only he and Vano were living in this apartment, but there was another figure who was so foreign to him. That man was Friska, his wife.

He did not see the whereabouts of the woman, yet he did not want to take a headache and did not care. But immediately a mocking smile appeared on Ardigo's handsome face

She thinks I'm gonna eat her cooking? Haha in your dream strange woman, he said then took the bread located in the kitchen drawer and was about to bake it

"This is who's cooking pa?" vano asked as he looked at the fried rice served on the table, his gaze indicating that he was tempted by the fried rice.

"Don't eat Vano! We don't know that woman. He could have put poison into the fried rice" said Ardigo let out his bad thoughts.

"What do you mean, Aunt Friska?" ask plain Vano

"Pa, Vano is tired of eating toast every day" said Vano pursed his lips. Ardigo turned his body to face the son

"Sorry baby, papa can't cook another one. If Vano wants to, papa can order anything for Vano. Vano wants what? " said Ardigo gently. But Vano just shook slowly

Ardigo was only alone with Vano without using the services of a household assistant. He dislikes strangers living with him. As for the matter of cleaning the apartment, he would tell people to come and clean his apartment.

"Vano wants home cooking like that pa. ", said Vano while pointing to fried rice Friska cuisine.

"Vano also wants to bring his own supplies to school just like other Vano friends" said Vano whining. Because every day, Ardigo will send his man to deliver food to Vano school. Ardigo approached the child

"Vano, papa can't cook yet baby. What do you want for food today? papa will buy whatever Vano wants" Ardigo said, trying to persuade his son.

"Vano wants home cooking pa.." said Vano who made Ardigo dizzy to face the violence of Vano. He was like he was looking at the moment, because Vano's stubbornness was down from him.

"Vano, now we eat bread first yes, it's ripe bread. Later papa will pick Vano up from school, and we will go for a walk. Wanna?" haggling Ardigo who managed to make Vano smile brightly and followed by a nod of enthusiasm. Vano is very happy when the father has time for him, because Ardigo is rarely able to spend time with Vano due to the busy office.

Since the wife died while giving birth to Vano, Rini's mother persuaded them to stay home, but Ardigo refused on the grounds of wanting to live independently with Vano. And for that reason, Rini often lived in Vano's apartment to take care of her young grandson at that time. By the time Vano was starting to grow up, Rini had rarely stayed because she had to accompany her husband, Reno. And Ardigo can already take care of Vano himself

After escorting Vano to the front of his Kindergarten school gate, Ardigo waved his hand with a smile towards Vano who was also replied by Vano. After that he turned the wheel towards his apartment again

Arriving at the apartment, Ardigo walked to the kitchen to fetch mineral water from the refrigerator. His eyes unintentionally glanced at a note taped to the refrigerator door

I go to college first, breakfast is on the table if you want to eat it.

- Friska

"I don't want to!" said Ardigo scoffed and threw the stick note into the trash can in the kitchen

*****

After finishing her college hours today, Friska headed straight for Follabe caffe. It was in the cafe that he worked to meet the needs of his life so far

"How's college going today Fris?" ask Rivan the cafe owner to Friska

"As usual sister, nothing's special "reply Friska with a smile.

They are very close because they used to live in the same orphanage as children. Friska was 5 years old and Rivan was 10 years old, they were very close and loved each other. But Rivan was later adopted by a wealthy couple so that he could live as well as he is today, even this cafe is one branch of the cafe of his adoptive family spread almost all over Indonesia

Even so, Rivan never forgot Friska who used to also fate the same as her time in the orphanage. Rivan forbade Friska to work and offered to finance Friska's entire life, as she felt she was well established and did not want to see Friska exhausted. Of course Friska refused because she did not want to be a burden for others, and with a heavy heart Rivan finally allowed her to work in his cafe with different treatment with other employees of course

"Well, you better eat first. After that it just works" said Rivan softly

"Later on, there's something I want to talk to you about" Friska said, looking seriously at Rivan

Rivan frowned trying to guess what sort of thing Friska wanted to say

"Well, we sit there first" Rivan said, and they sat in a corner by the window facing the street

"What do you want to say, hmm?" ask Rivan softly

Friska seemed nervous and hesitant to convey it. He is seen squeezing both hands to reduce his nervousness

"I.. L'm.. "

"I've been.."

"What's it?" rivan asked with Friska who made her curiosity soar

Finally with great difficulty Friska also managed to say the words that he had wanted to convey since

"I'm married brother.. "
