The disappointment again flashed on the face of a woman who was still sitting in the car seat behind the wheel. Both of his hands squeezed the roundabout of the steering wheel that was in front of him.

It hurt a lot, but he also couldn't blame Fatih for the pain he felt. After all from the start, Fatih had clearly rejected her presence. He forced his way into the man's life.

Sarah was really jealous of Aulia. The graceful and gentle woman had indeed made Alfatih bend his knees to make the man's eyes blind so that he could not look at other women, even though it was his own legitimate wife.

Not wanting to feel sick for too long, Sarah finally left the area of Aulia's cake shop. His intention to talk to Aulia was not he did, after all Aulia had nothing to do with the divorce that would happen to her and Fatih.

Without Aulia, Fatih would divorce her. And that was proven by the incident last year, where Fatih filed a divorce lawsuit against him that ended peacefully at the mediation table. Because Sarah kept begging Fatih to try to survive for another year.

And now, Fatih is back to sue him after a year has passed and there is no change in their relationship.

Next day.

Fatih hastened the speed of his car to a fast food restaurant address sent by an unknown number this afternoon.

After knowing who the sender of the message was, without delay any longer Fatih immediately went there leaving a myriad of his work in the office.

With wide strides, Fatih immediately entered the krispi chicken restaurant that the boy loved.

With a heart that beats so hard. Fatih took her step towards one of the tables, where three people had filled the table.

"A_assalamu'alaikum," Fatih said in a nervous tone as she faced her daughter, Aliya.

"Waalaikumsalam, it's coming. Come sit down, please" replied Aulia inviting Fatih to sit beside Aliya.

Fatih immediately settled down next to Aliya and one of the adult men who was among them. The man who once picked up Aulia while on duty at her home.

"Good afternoon Mr. Fatih, good to see you again" Hanan said to Fatih.

"Yes, I did too. You guys eat together?" Asked Fatih who was a little confused should start a conversation between them.

"Yes, it just so happened that Aulia and I were buying some items for handover. Just go with Aliya to meet you," replied Hanan who made Fatih's forehead wrinkle.

"You want to get married apparently" Fatih replied.

"God willing, pray for good until H day, amiin." Hanan smiled at Sumringah.

"Yes, now Aliya talk to me first. Mommy same Papa out first, Aliya phone Papa when it's done." Hanan is now talking to Aliya.

Fatih's heart skipped a beat as Hanan had already introduced Fatih as the father of the little girl. With a doubtful feeling, Fatih immediately turned to look at Aliya. It was curious to see the response of the little girl.

"Yes Papa, Aliya will call Papa when it's done. You go, finish your business. Aliya will be waiting here with Dad," replied little Aliya who returned to make Fatih's heart beat crowded.

"Alright, then we'll excuse you Mr. Fatih. I tipped Aliya for a while," Hanan continued to leave Aliya to Fatih.

"Yes, relax. I will take good care of her," Fatih replied with a million questions in her heart regarding the closeness of Aulia and Hanan.

While Aulia herself preferred to be quiet, and leave everything to Hanan. Even Aulia only kissed her daughter's forehead while saying goodbye and didn't say a word.

Silence was created, after the departure of Aulia and Hanan. Fatih seemed to lose all her words when faced directly with her daughter who was so identical to her

"Dad how are you? Why keep quiet? Is he sick?" Aliya asked after spending a few minutes in silence and silence.

"No son, thank God you're fine." Reply Fatih who still looks awkward and stiff.

"Thank God that you're okay" Aliya replied with a gentle smile that made Fatih's heart beat violently.

Fatih immediately felt the warmth in her heart when she saw the smile on her daughter's pretty face. No more words came out of Fatih's mouth, but the man immediately clutched tightly the tiny body of his creation.

"I'm sorry, Son, I'm sorry. I have sinned against you and your Mother" said Fatih, who was now crying in the arms of his daughter Aliya.

Little Aliya returned a hug from Fatih, then gently rubbed the back of the adult man who was still in his arms. Provides calmness to the adult man who is currently still crying while hugging him.

"You've forgiven Dad, from now on. Let us live with peace, even though at this time Mother still can not accept the presence of Father. But Aliya is sure, Mother has also forgiven Dad. It's just that, Mother still needs time to receive the presence of Father back." Reply Aliya agreed by Fatih.

Fatih began to break down her arms on Aliya's body, then wiped away her tears that soaked her handsome face.

"Have you told me about Mom and Dad?" Fatih asked after successfully mastering himself.

"Mother story, if Aliya has a father who used to go far. And now Aliya's father is back and wants to meet."

"Aliya did not ask, why are Father and Mother not the same?"

"Ask, but Mother said. Aliya will know for herself the reason later. Once Aliya is old enough to understand adult affairs, so said Mother."

"alright. Thank you, for meeting Dad,"

"Why thank you? Aliya was happy to meet Dad. Although there is already Papa Hanan, but still Aliya also wants to meet with Aliya's biological father," replied Aliya who made Fatih's forehead wrinkle when Hanan's name was mentioned.

"Papa Hanan? If you can tell, who is Papa Hanan?" Ask Fatih to reduce her curiosity.

"Father Hanan, her future husband Mother,"
