"Can't you consider our divorce any more?" Sarah asked again, hoping Fatih would still fight along with her to maintain their marriage.

"I've been trying and trying to accept you for 3 years. But the truth is, all I can give is disappointment and hurt. Aren't you tired of all this? Don't you want to be happy with a man who loves you and thinks you're valuable? I'm tired of Sarah, I'm tired of having to continue to act as an evil husband and wrong to his wife but to accept you I can't. I want to stop hurting others, I want to stop hurting you. That's why I decided to split up, it's all for your own good Sarah. Again, I'm sorry." explained Fatih who immediately went to leave the house that she would give to the woman who would soon become an ex-wife for her.

While Sarah herself can only cry bitterly because of the fate of her marriage which eventually ended in a divorce. Fatih was right, during her marriage to him. Sarah was always disappointed and disappointed, not even if Fatih did what made her happy and felt appreciated as a wife.

However, why did it feel so hard to part with that evil man. Why does Sarah insist on defending what she never had. Be it Fatih's heart or body, none of it that Sarah managed to get. So, what's he been holding out for all this time? Even to the point of pleading with Fatih to postpone their divorce one year ago.

But clearly Sarah knows where the end of her marriage with Fatih will be. But Sarah kept trying to argue that she would be able to conquer Fatih's heart with the patience and sincerity she gave. Although in reality, all that is just wishful thinking.

Fatih, don't be a subject. Glancing towards him alone did not even though they had been through hundreds of days together. And those hundreds of days, in fact, do not present the meaning of what is in the heart and life of Alphatih Brahmaseto.

Because the focus of the man was only on one woman, namely Aulia Dara or now better known as Aulia Rahma. The woman that Fatih had destroyed her life so badly that there was nothing more to be proud of from a woman named Aulia Dara.

Now, Fatih is struggling to get forgiveness from the woman and their possible daughter, Aliya does not know if she has a father who is a bajigan and a loser. Until making Aliya must be born with the words of the mother.

"Good day, congratulations da___,"

Again and again, Aulia's voice was always chafing while seeing Fatih's presence in her shop. The man in the suit walked over to Aulia who was standing behind the cake display case.

"Assalamu'alaikum Aulia," Fatih said as he arrived in front of Aulia.

"Wa_wa'alaikum greetings," Aulia replied directly bowing her head.

"Can we talk?" Fatih asked in a very careful tone.

"May, but here. We're talking there," point Aulia to one corner of the room where there are chairs for customers waiting in line if the state of the store is being visited by many customers.

"Can, come. We're going there,"

Fatih walked to the table that Aulia had pointed at first, then sat there waiting for Aulia to come to him.

After waiting for a while, Aulia was seen approaching Aulia with a tray in her hand. Trays containing warm tea and some cakes are available in the storefront.

"Sorry, we only have this. Please taste it," said Aulia while offering a cup of warm tea and also a small plate of artificial cake that Aulia sold in the store.

"Thank you" Fatih replied as she drank Aulia's warm tea.

"What do you want to talk about?" Aulia asked after sitting on one of the chairs that were there without looking towards Fatih.

"I want to ask your permission," Fatih replied after putting back her teacup on the table.

"Izin's? Permission for what?" Aulia asked confusedly.

"I want to meet and talk to Aliya. Can I see him?"

Deg

Instantly Aulia gasped in shock as Fatih asked for permission to meet her daughter. Really, Aulia was shocked by that. Aulia also could not explain to Aliya, who Fatih really was. Until silence was an option for Aulia to respond to Fatih's request.

Fatih who realized the hardness of Aulia's heart immediately responded. Fatih tried to give Aulia some understanding if everything would be fine.

"Calm down, let me explain everything to her. But maybe, not explicitly because it will be difficult for him to digest at his current age. I'll try to explain in the portions he's able to receive. So please, allow me to get close to her, I want to make up for all my mistakes with her," explained Fatih who still left Aulia speechless.

"Aulia, you're listening to me right?" Fatih asked when she saw that Aulia was silent.

"I heard, I was just confused how to explain all this to her," said Aulia lowered her head to hide her sad face.

"I told you, let me explain. Let me explain to him slowly the land, that way. She will probably understand as time goes on. And for that, I need your permission to get close to her,"

"Ba_good, but please. Don't make him afraid and uncomfortable. Don't force her if she refuses to be close to you, either,"

"Yes, I know. Calm down, I'll try my hardest to make my daughter feel comfortable around her dad." Fatih replied with complete confidence.

"Well, tell me when I can meet her? Until I can prepare myself to deal with him," continued Fatih.

"Tomorrow, we meet at his favorite restaurant. I'll send you the address on your contact number,"

"But I don't have your number yet,"

Hearing the reply from Fatih, Aulia immediately went to the cashier table. Aulia picked up a small paper and a pen to give Fatih.

"Here, write your phone number here." Said Aulia handing the paper and pen to Fatih's front.

"Why not just go to your phone?"

"Just write, I'll call."

"All right,"

Finally Fatih wrote down his phone number on the paper and said goodbye. Because she had to take care of her divorce with Sarah.

"Then I say yes. Thank you for allowing me to meet my daughter" Fatih said before leaving.

"Mas Fatih," muttered someone who saw Fatih had just come out of Aulia's shop.
