Night at Bram's.
Toni looks excited when she enters her house. He kept whistling about to go to his room at the end of the house. The shadow of her little daughter danced in her mind so that the smile on her lips never faded away from the moment she was allowed to hold baby Milka.
"Where have you been?" The thunderous sound from the main room of the house rang out loud in his ears, thus stopping his footsteps forcefully. His smile gradually faded away.. "Lately you've never been seen or heard at all in this house."
The one who was none other than Toni's father named Bram, looked at her full of anger.
"Toni's got business, Pa..." His leg was short and he remained unmoved from his place.
"What about the task that Papa gave you? Have you succeeded?" Bram wanted to see the reaction and answer of his son.
"There's no progress yet, Pa... Toni will think about it later." Toni decides to leave her father and return to her original goal, which is her contest.
Toni opened the door to her room which she had not lived in for days. Ever since she met Kamelia who was pregnant and found out that the baby camellia contained was her flesh and blood, Toni very rarely went home. He preferred to continue patrolling in front of the Arayan residence.
Toni inhaled the scent of her room deeply. He rushed to take a photo on his bedside nightstand.
"Mahs... My mother's grandson was born. Toni's never been this happy before, Ma. Toni feels Mama is alive in that tiny baby. Bi Isah said, Mama was so nice. Toni believes her big Milka is also as good as Mama." Toni held the photo to her chest and then poured her body into the bed that had been a few days it was not occupied.
Thank you, Kemil... Although I can't have Kamelia... But thanks to you I can have my daughter... I'm sure Kamelia must be happy with you...
Kamelia was no longer as frightened as before when she saw me... And my chance to meet my son is greater because of you...
You also allowed me to be called papa by Milka... I owe you a lot...
Toni opened the photo of Kamelia with herself on the back of the photo of her mother and kept it somewhere else after tidying up the folds that hid her picture of Misya in the photo.
Due to her over-exhausted body, Toni fell asleep with part of her legs still dangling to the floor. Her mother's photo is still in her arms.
****
Toni was also occasionally allowed to stop by Milka.
But that morning, Misya came to see Kemil.
"What else did you come here for?" Kemil was not happy with his presence.
"What's wrong? Did you forget, honey? You promised to leave Kamelia and her child after she gave birth." Misya demanded the promise she had said at that time to Misya.
"I didn't forget that, Missy... But you seem to have forgotten that our relationship is over." Kemil reminded Misya.
"But I don't want to break up with you, Kemil... I'm ready to marry you." Misya squeezed while holding Kemil's arm.
"Sorry Misya, I've loved my wife for a long time. Just because a misunderstanding kept us apart." Kemil brushed off Misya's hand.
"But, Kemil..."
"Now you go... I doain you get a better man than me." Kemil stepped inside his house and immediately locked the door.
Misya clenched her hands furiously. His eyes looked at the house full of hatred before he left the house.
