The Grace of Debt Redeemer

Nadine Karina Collin

Frans immediately provided drinking water for his wife to be calmer after having nightmares.

Ma, what exactly is going on? What is Mama thinking? Papa knows Ma if Mama is thinking about something, then Mama can have nightmares. What dream mom?" Frans asked a few questions, which he knew his wife would never have nightmares if there was nothing she was thinking about. Moreover Frans can see the movements of the wife lately who seems to be hiding something from her.

"There's nothing Pa, I'm not thinking about anything at all. I'm just a little tired" replied Cynthia who was still reluctant to tell her husband. He still chose to hide the secret alone in his heart.

"Yes if it is like that, now Mama sleeps again huh. It's quieter, isn't it?" Ask Frans.

"Yes Pa has calmed down a little, sorry I'm interrupting your rest. Now we can sleep again" Cynthia said.

"Dear, I'm not disturbed at all. Even I was worried to see how you were, you were screaming while you were sleeping" Frans said.

"Yes Pa, I don't know why I have nightmares, either" Cynthia said.

Then they both returned to lay their bodies on the bed. Cynthia preferred to turn her back on her husband, not to want to avoid, she just did not want her husband to feel worried seeing his face looked anxious thinking about something. Frans closed his eyes again to sleep.

In a cake shop, a girl is seen helping her mother and grandmother arrange cakes in a display case. A beautiful girl who has long hair, lentic eyelashes that adorn the eyes, small lips, and smooth white skin like her mother, as well as a sharp nose and beautiful eyeballs like his father was named Nadine Karina Collin. She is 5 years old and has been attending kindergarten. He is the son of Nathan and Dinda. Although Dinda can not be with Nathan, but he still gave his father's last name to the child, because after all Nathan was the real father of Nadine.

"Darling, you'd better sit inside. The cakes let Mama stack up" said Dinda.

"No need for Ma. Nadine wants to help Mama. Nadine pity to see Mama tired," said Nadine.

Despite his young age, he is very smart to talk, care and love his mother, grandmother and grandfather. Of course, it can not be separated from the guidance of a great mother like Dinda.

When Dinda was 9 months old, Dinda and her mother secretly left Bandung and moved back to Jakarta. All of that was just to hide Nadine's birth. But the location of their residence is quite far from their former residence especially with the residence of Nathan and his family. Initially they only contracted the house, Santi continued his business by making cakes and placing them in stalls.

Thanks to the persistence of Santi and Dinda, of course also because of the help of Doni's father Dinda, after Nadine was 3 years old, they were able to buy a two-story shophouse. For their living quarters upstairs and downstairs Dinda set up a cake shop which over time gradually their cakes became famous in the city. Even now after the shop has been running 2 years, the, Dinda already has 5 employees who help them to serve buyers and also help make the cake and deliver orders if anyone orders online and asks to be delivered. Dinda and Santi also add new cake menus with their respective expertise, there are wet and dry cakes. One of them is a birthday cake or a birthday cake that Dinda managed to make and the taste is of course very good.

If asked by people around where is Nadine's father? Dinda said her husband had died when she was young. Many people feel compassion for Dinda, but also salute because she can survive to this day living together with her son without a husband. It was also because of the support of her mother and father. Dinda's father himself also chose to move to Jakarta again after 2 years his son and his wife moved first. Now Doni was working in one of the big companies as a financial manager thanks to his experience in the Bandung city company, his name in the Jakarta city company as a corruptor was also clean, because it turned out Nathan had clarified it.

"Dinda, you should take Nadine to rest first. The cake is also done in order. There's already Tari and Lala also guarding the shop, so you just take Nadine to rest. You see your son dong is exactly as diligent as you are. If not told to rest, definitely will not stop," said Santi smiling.

Sometimes he still likes to feel guilty if he remembers what he had done before to Dinda. But everything has happened, at this time he feels grateful because Dinda can get through everything and is very happy with the presence of Nadine.

"The descendants of his grandmother also dong," said Dinda who also smiled.

"You could be, a hunt for rest!" Santi's orders.

"Yes Ma'am yes, Dinda invited Nadin to rest first yes," said Dinda then rushed to invite her son to enter the room and rest.

"Nadine, how did she learn at school? No exclamation?" Ask Dinda to the child.

"Seru Ma's. Oh yes Ma, the teacher talked about family. There's Dad, Mom, Nadine sad deh Ma because Nadine does not have Papa," said Nadine who made Dinda stunned.

"Honey, I'm sorry Mama because Mama can't tell you that your Papa is still there. But he can't be with us, son, Papa you already have your own family and happiness. Forgive Mama yes dear," Dinda's inner self unconsciously let out her tears. He also did not realize that Nadine was watching him.

"Mama, why is Mama crying? Mama must be sad because she remembers Papa who died. Sorry Nadine yes Ma, Nadine has made Mama sad. Nadine promised not to discuss it again," said Nadine who felt guilty and made Dinda very moved to hear the words coming out of the tiny mouth of her little angel.
