"Based on a jerk, insolent. It was true that the man was depraved," Gita grumbled when she found out that Fatih was the young man who raped Aulia 10 years ago and did not confess to her actions.

Aulia had to move to the capital using a new identity. Even because of the man, Aulia had trouble finding work because she did not have a High School diploma.

Until Aulia finally decided to sell food that she made by her own hands. With the help of orphanage children, Aulia's sales were quite in demand until Aulia decided to open a small shop because it was often flooded with orders.

"Then, what are you going to do now? Because, it is impossible if you have to continue to avoid her," asked Gita after listening to all the stories of Aulia's life before meeting her.

"Okay, Mommy doesn't know either. In a way, I hate him so much. The pain and devastation that he gave to Mbak for that is imprinted in Ma'am's life. But, Mbak also could not deny if among us there is Aliya" replied Aulia so softly.

"If by opening this story again makes Mbak sick and injured. So close it for a long time. Don't let him know if Aliya is his daughter,"

"But the man has both power and Git's money. It would be very easy for him to find out if Aliya was his daughter. You don't know Gita, what should you do? It's necessary that Mbak tell Aliya everything and scrape the old wound back or close the story forever,"

"Then, what are you going to do with that guy?" gita asked again which made Aulia turn towards the girl.

"Come on, you don't know. Ma'am will think again, because it's impossible to avoid him continuing when he never stops to come,"

"Maybe, it would be better if you tried to speak from heart to heart. There is no harm in trying to listen to what he wants to say, Toh Mbak also does not know what he experienced during these 10 years. It could have been, he suffered much more than Mbak himself." continued Gita who made thinking back.

Maybe right, running and continuing to avoid will not solve the problem between him and Fatih. There was nothing wrong trying to listen to what the man wanted to tell her.

Want to not, like not like, willing not willing. Aulia will remain in contact with Fatih because it cannot be denied, between them there is the figure of Aliya who will continue to connect the two.

Perhaps Aulia did not need Fatih's figure in her life. However, it was inversely proportional to Aliya who needed a guardian to marry her later. Although Aliya berbasab to her mother, but still.Aliya need a father who will be a guardian at the time of her marriage in the future.

San of course, that should be a consideration for Aulia. Considering he has no siblings. Aulia was born to a young couple who died in an accident.

Both of Aulia's parents are the same lover couple growing up on the streets and the same outcast. Until, Aulia is the last descendant of the couple lived like that.

Fatih ran through every corner of the city park she had just visited. But he had not found the person he was looking for, until his netra stared at a beautiful figure with a syar'i hijab sitting on the edge of an artificial lake in the park.

After getting information from Gita if Aulia is waiting for her in the city park. Fatih did not delay any more time to visit the woman in the park.

With a racing heart, Fatih moved her legs closer to the figure she had not stopped looking for for for 10 years, despite hearing the news that she had died once. Fatih never stopped looking for where the grave of the girl was.

"Da_Dara," greeted with a stamped tone because of the nervousness and fear he felt simultaneously when dealing with the woman in front of him at this time.

"Assalamu'alaikum," Aulia rebuked as Fatih greeted her by name without saying her previous greeting.

"Ah, ma_sorry. A_assalamu'alaikum Aulia," Fatih replied.

"Wa'alaikum salam warahmatullah, please sit." replied Aulia invited Fatih to sit beside her with a distance.

Aulia kept the bag she was carrying in the middle, to be made a partition between herself and Fatih at this time.

"Ba_how are you Dara?" fatih asked after sitting next to Aulia.

"Please, don't mention that name again. That name I had long since switched off," replied Aulia who disliked it when someone called her by the name 'Dara'.

"I'm sorry, I won't repeat. You haven't answered my question" Fatih continued.

"As you can see, though it fell and broke. But I'm trying to stay fine, because life has to go on, right?"

"You are right" replied Fatih.

Silent for a while, because it turns out Fatih was quite lost words when adjacent to the woman who had become the mother of the child she left in her womb first.

"Tell me, there's nothing you want to say to me. Until it kept coming to me even though I had refused repeatedly," asked Aulia finally re-opened her voice after the two were silent for a while.

Hearing the question from Aulia, Fatih finally realized from her daydream. Fatih finally realized what her goal was to keep looking for Aulia until she came to Aulia's cake shop almost every day.

Fatih was seen sighing long and deep before the end she got up from her seat, then stood in front of Aulia, making the woman's forehead wrinkle.

Bruuuggggkkkk

Aulia gasped in shock, even the woman's eyes until perfectly rounded as Fatih dropped her body on the ground, sitting in front of Aulia who was still sitting on the park bench.

"A_what are you doing? A_ayo get up, don't do this" Aulia said as she watched Fatih kneel before her.

"No, I won't wake up until you forgive me. Aulia, please, I beg you please forgive all my former mistakes. Really, if there is a word above the word regret. Then I'll use that word to represent how I've been feeling for the past 10 years, please forgive all my mistakes first, you and also the princess,"
