"Where else should I find Arlo, Nola? What if something happens to her?" Alin sobbing. While Nola can only stroke the back of her best friend gently.

It's been about two hours Alin looking for Arlo's whereabouts after his business with someone. However, upon Alin's arrival at Arlo's school, his son is no more. His teacher said that Arlo had been picked up by someone.

Alin has gone to every home of Arlo's friends and asked him where his son is, but no one knows for sure where Arlo is. Alin was overwhelmed to look for him.

"What if someone kidnaps her? I––I can't be quiet, I have to report to the police." Alin's hand was first blocked by Nola.

"We're just going to the police. It can't be processed once or twenty-four hours" Nola said.

"Then what should I do? I've been looking all over the place, but still haven't found it! What should I do?!" alin shouted in emotion. Nola could only be silent.

"Mommy why?"

The voice made Alin look straight at him. There he could see the figure he had been looking for all this time. Alin immediately ran up to Arlo and hugged his son's body tightly.

"Sichello."

Alin was crying on his son's shoulder. A sense of relief had already dominated him when Arlo was already nearby. Alin's almost crazy, if Arlo doesn't come home soon.

Alin elaborates a hug. Cupping both Arlo's cheeks.

"Arlo, mommy is content to look for you everywhere! Where are you actually going?!" ask Alin hysterically.

"He's with me" said someone.

Alin looked back, looking at who had spoken his words. Seeing who it was, Alin immediately stood up from his seat then stared intently.

"Right, Mom, I'm with this uncle" Arlo said as he looked at his mother there.

Alin still did not take his eyes off Daniel. The woman clenched both hands with great anger. Because of that man, Alin almost lost his sanity.

"I happened to pass in front of her school, so all––"

"What do you want?" sela Alin first.

Daniel raised an eyebrow. However, he could see clearly that Alin was wrapped in anger.

"I just took her––"

"Are you planning on taking Arlo?" accuse Alin first.

"Do you intend to take it from me? Why are you so mean, huh? Haven't you been satisfied all this time with me making an impingement?"

Alin and Daniel looked at each other. As if speaking through those eyes. Alin is still upset with Daniel bringing Arlo around at will, while Daniel just stares strangely.

"From now on, don't see Arlo for any business" Alin recalled.

Daniel rolled his eyes in shock. Obviously, he did not accept the decision. Daniel had just been with his biological son all this time, and was unilaterally decided.

"What is the basis for you to mechanize a father with his son?" cynical Daniel.

That made Alin raise his head. I can't believe what that guy said. Alin felt his chest pounding violently when Daniel said that.

"I know everything, Alin. I know you're lying that Arlo is your best friend's son, I know that you're Arlo's mother, I also know that Arlo is my son––my blood. Then what else are you gonna cover up again?"

Daniel stared fixedly. He could see that the woman in front of him was agitated.

"Why are you lying? Do you think I won't know everything?" daniel asked, while Alin remained silent.

"So, from now on don't limit anything to my business with Arlo. I'm his biological father and he needs a father figure."

"Mom, is it true what the uncle said? I have a father?" ask Arlo plain. Alin was silent, not answering the question.

Daniel takes over by answering, "Yes, Arlo has a father. I'm your father, Arlo."

Arlo was still hesitant, but he saw his mother again who was still silent. His eyes looked back at Daniel who was still crouching in front of him fixedly. However, over time Arlo pursed his lips and sobbed softly.

"So, Arlo's got daddy? Arlo's not an orphan anymore?" tanya Arlo accompanied by a sound of sobbing.

Daniel nodded. Smiling looking at Arlo in front of him.

"Yes. Arlo has Daddy," replied Daniel steadily.

"Daddy," call Arlo, immediately throw a hug at Daniel.

Daniel gladly accepted the hug. He stroked the back of his son who was shaking from crying. He could feel how shocked the boy was. Daniel himself was too. And this time, Daniel won't miss another chance.

While Alin was there just silence while looking away. However, it could not be denied if he saw Arlo who was crying in Daniel's arms. Alin himself does not know with his own feelings, why feel afraid if Arlo separated from him.

"Daddy, Arlo's got daddy," muttered Arlo still hugging Daniel. It sounds so sad.

"Yes, Honey. Daddy's here." Daniel almost shed his tears because of this hug.

"Arlo's happy to have daddy." Arlo's getting sobbing.

"Daddy is also happy to have Arlo" replied Daniel.

Arlo broke out a hug, then rubbed his tears that kept dripping. His lips were still pursed while looking at Daniel in front of him. Didn't know that the man was his own father.

"Mom, Arlo has Daddy" Arlo told Alin.

Daniel rose from his squat, staring at Alin who was still silent there. The man unceasingly wished to Alin that the woman could agree to him to be able to meet Arlo. However, only silence was revealed by Alin.

"What else are you covering up? Arlo already knows who his father is, and I won't stay silent if you prevent me from meeting him" Daniel said.

Alin. However, not long after that he looked at Daniel softly. Suddenly Alin's body fell down and rested at Daniel's feet. Begging the man.

"I-I beg you, don't separate me from Arlo. I-I can't live without him, Daniel," Alin's pinta as he rests at Daniel's feet.

Alin got up, cupped his hands to his chest and pleaded with Daniel. Her tears shed, she was so fragile when it came to Arlo.

"I-I beg you, don't take Arlo, Daniel. I'd do anything, just don't take Arlo away from me. I beg you," pinta Alin cried.

Daniel remained silent. However, a few seconds later he crouched down and hugged Alin's trembling body. The man couldn't have done it if Alin had acted that way. Daniel will not.

Alin was crying in Daniel's arms. His mind was too full of everything that happened. The warm embrace that Daniel did was enough to make Alin sob. Accompanied by a gentle swipe on his back that feels.

Daniel broke down the hug, then wiped away the remaining tears on Alin's cheek.

"Why do you think I'll take Arlo, huum?" Alin was silent.

"I'm not going to take it. She needs her mother too. He will always be with you" Daniel continued to make Alin even more teary.

Daniel smiled faintly. He looked at his son who was not far away.

"Arlo, here," Daniel asked, then hugged his two loved ones. Channeling his pent-up longing.

"I'm lucky to have you" murmured Daniel.
