"Dady...!" kia.
Renald stepped closer to Kia who was sitting at her dressing table, Renald stroked Kia's hair.
"I'm sorry dady, dady can't be the best for Kia yet" Renald said.
Kia stood up and hugged Renald tightly, and her tears, which had been held in captivity, were now in freefall.
Renald feels guilty for his daughter because Renald cannot fulfill Kia's wishes, Renald fulfills whatever Kia wishes except to marry, while Kia wants to be a mother, Renald never wanted to get married for fear that his second wife would only hurt Kia and could not love Kia like a real child.
"Be a good boy, Dady loves you so much, he puts you in a boarding school so you can change. You're Kia's daughter...! it's not good if you behave like a boy" Renald said.
"I'm sorry Kia Dad...! Kia promises dady, Kia will study diligently there." Kia cries in his dady arms, channeling his longing for Renald as Renald often leaves him out of town."
Kia is sad because maybe Kia will meet with her dady less often after entering the boarding school.
"If Kia is no longer on Dady's side, don't ever cry alone again, say momy Dad...! he won't calm down if dady keeps doing that." Kia looked up at her dady handsome face.
"Yes...! dady promises, dady won't be sad anymore." Renald smiled at his daughter
who is in his arms.
"You know what?! why does Dady sometimes cry when he sees your mommy's picture?" Renald.
Kia shakes. "Would you take a look at your momy's photo?" Renald looked at the photo of Muti on the wall of Kia's room.
"His face is exactly the same as yours now" Renald said with a smile.
Kia leads her dady to sit on her bedroom sofa. Then she sleeps in her dady's lap.
"Dady...! is Dady angry with Kia? because momy died because she wanted to keep Kia." Kia looked at Renald with guilt.
"Momy didn't die because of you, baby...! never blame yourself Kia because momy died was his destiny" Renald said.
"I only miss your mommy when I see your face because you guys are so similar." Renald smiled.
"Now sleep...! don't sleep too late, remember! tomorrow you have to leave in the morning." Renald sat Kia down, and left her daughter's room.
However, Kia again hugged Renald from behind. "I'm definitely gonna miss Dady a lot."
Renald turned around and returned his daughter's embrace. "Dady too...!"
"Sleep baby...! don't you think gini."
Kia relaxed her embrace, then nodded while wiping away her tears.
Renald smiled and continued to walk towards the door of Kia's room, but soon Renald turned back and smiled.
"Good night, beautiful dream baby!" Renald closed the door to Kia's room.
"Dady...! Kia loves you so much, forgive Kia who still can not make dady happy, Kia still can not be the pride of dady, but Kia promises Kia will try to be a better person again, Kia, so dady is proud of Kia." Kia looked at the door of her room.
After that, Kia left and took a photo of her parents who were on the nightstand next to her bed.
"Momy...! it turns out that dady is right, your face is so similar to mine, if only momy were alive, maybe Kia would not be lonely, and dady would not often go out of town," said Kia caressing the faces of her parents.
"I love you so much" Kia kissed the photo to her parents and held it tight.
