For a while, Jack was still staring at his wife. Riani who was still asleep was sitting and Cassie who was lying on her lap. There is a fear of imagining that this happiness they feel will end because of the distraction of a Daniel.
Slowly Jack deleted the message. He didn't want Riani to read it. After that he put Riani's phone back on the table and intended to go to the kitchen to make coffee. It was at this moment that Riani opened her eyes.
"Darling?" Riani was surprised to see Jack in the living room. He glanced at the wall clock that had shown at half-seven in the morning.
"I fell asleep apparently." He slowly lifted Cassie's head and placed it on a sofa cushion, fixed the blanket that covered the girl's body and stood up.
"Good morning, baby." Riani approached and hugged her husband.
"Good morning too, dear." Jack clenched his arms and kissed the top of his wife's head.
For a moment both of them dissolve in the arms of love.
"I'm gonna make breakfast first." Riani let go of her embrace. Jack nodded.
"I'll help." Jack followed his wife into the kitchen.
"Darling, what do you want for breakfast?" ask Riani.
"Bread only. I want a toast with a sprinkling of sugar brown on it."
"Ok." said Riani then took the bread from the food cabinet.
"Why do you sleep in the living room?" jack asked while heating the water to make a cake.
"I was Videocall with Arma. Cassie wakes up to drink water. Finally we both chatted there until we finally fell asleep."
Jack smiled. "Thank you for loving Cassie like that."
Riani looked at her husband. "Cassie thinks of me as his mother. How could I not love him?"
Jack came up and hugged his wife from behind. "Cassie got a good mother. Ever since he first saw you, he's loved you."
"Aren't Cassie like that much yet?"
Jack chuckles. He turned Riani's body. "Cassie's father not only liked it but was immediately infatuated."
"I'm so glad to hear that."
Jack stroked his wife's face. He wanted to ask Riani how he felt about his past, but he did not want to offend his wife because they had agreed to forget the past.
"What's wrong?" ask Riani.
"If it's a new school year for Cassie, we'll move to Manchester, baby."
"Why? I like it here. I'm happy with my job."
"So that if I want to go home it only takes 15 minutes to get from my workplace. Cassie can also live at home so if you live in Manchester, not far from the school."
"At that I like it here. Reminds me of the peaceful atmosphere in my village. I also love working at Mr. John's pastry shop. But it's nothing. Wherever you go, I must be with you."
Jack again carried Riani in his arms. He kissed his wife's head lovingly.
"Darling, isn't tomorrow the day of your papa's will? You're going?"
Jack let go of his embrace and turned off the stove because the water was already over. "No."
"Darling, shouldn't you and Cassie be present? It is not about what the deceased will give you but rather appreciating his last wish."
Jack started to pick up the glass. "You want coffee too?" ask Jack.
Riani knew that Jack did not want to continue the conversation between them. He nodded and did not continue the topic.

The next day, Riani got up early as usual and prepared breakfast before she was about to go to the cake shop.
"Good morning, mom." said Cassie who was awake and immediately met Riani there.
"Good morning, honey. Wanna go?" riani asked as she looked at Cassie's grooming which looked neat.
Cassie nodded with a smile. "So daddy woke me up and said that we were going to London to hear the reading of the will from opa."
Riani was happy to hear that. "really?"
Cassie nodded. At that moment Jack appeared in the kitchen. Riani immediately hugged her husband and gave a kiss on his cheek. "I'm happy, baby."
"You want to come?" ask Jack.
"Cannot. Yesterday I received quite a lot of chocolate cake orders. If I leave, I'm sorry Lady Elisha has to do it herself."
"Yes already. We'll go straight home then." said Jack.
"Don't push yourself, baby. If the snow's coming down hard, it's better to be there."
"Later mommy was lonely" Cassie said.
"Mommy won't be lonely. Mommy will be busy making Christmas cakes. After that must be tired and go to sleep."
Jack and Riani laughed. Cassie was so spoiled for Riani. That makes Jack happy.
*********
This morning Riani woke up in a quiet state. Jack and Cassie can't go home because there's a blizzard. Today also Riani did not enter work because of Saturday. Yesterday afternoon coming home from work, Riani had already made a nastar cake, and today she was planning to make another cake as well.
After cleaning himself and breakfast Riani also began to prepare the ingredients of the cake to be prepared. But there is incomplete material. Riani decided to go shopping. He wears a thick coat and a knitted hat. Not to forget the hand shirts too. Then he ordered a taxi.
It wasn't until 15 minutes, the taxi came and drove him to the shop he wanted. Riani decided to go to an Asian store. Even though he had to spend more money to pay a taxi. He received a lot of bonuses because his chocolate cake is a lot in the message of people. Even by Christmas, the order was growing. Jack always gives more spending money
Once he got there, he eagerly picked up a shopping cart and started going around buying what he needed.
"Riani ...!"
Riani surprised. The world seems very narrow because he met Daniel again in this store.
"Don't approach me, Daniel. We're both married."
"Why didn't you reply to my message?"
Riani shocked. "I never received a message from you."
"I asked your number to the owner of the cake shop. And my message has a blue check mark. That's a sign you've read it."
Riani was surprised, did Jack read it? But when?
"When did you send that message?" ask Riani.
"Yesterday morning."
Cassie and I were sleeping in the living room at the time. That's right, Jack read it. But why didn't he say anything?
"Foolish with your message." Riani immediately left Daniel and headed to the cashier. Daniel followed Riani. Even when the woman came out of the store, Daniel was still chasing her.
"Re.., Riri...!" Daniel calls Riani by her favorite nickname while they are still dating.
Riani stopped her steps and looked at Daniel. "You want what the hell? You already left me when we were just 3 days married. You left without a trace while I was pregnant."
"I left a message for you that I left to my papa driver. I couldn't call you back then because my phone was missing and I knew that your phone was being sold to increase our wedding expenses. I asked permission to accompany my father to Singapore for treatment. But what I've received is that you sent me a divorce letter because you've already aborted our child. I was mad at you at the time."
"What's? I sent you a divorce letter? Isn't it your family's lawyer who came to me and delivered the divorce petition you signed?"
Daniel's surprised. "Don't twist the facts, Riani."
"I don't twist facts. I never aborted my womb. You divorced me while I was pregnant. My father even had to go to the hospital because he couldn't help but be ashamed of the neighbor's gossip mocking me for being abandoned by my husband."
Daniel still can't believe it. "So, you never abort your womb? Is our son still there?"
"You were married when I was about to give birth. I'm sorry, that kid died because I was so hurt over your marriage." Riani closed her eyes. I'm sorry, Arma. You don't deserve a father like Daniel.
"So he's gone?" daniel's eyes were glazed over.
"Yes. Cause it's stay away from me and don't ever bother me again." Riani was about to step up but Daniel held her hand.
"I still love you, Ri. 7 years may pass but never once have I forgotten you."
"I don't love you anymore." Riani pulled her hand from Daniel's grasp.
"R....! Kirish...!"
Riani stepped on. He just hugged his grocery bag while holding back a cry. He hated why in England he could meet Daniel.
Feeling that Daniel was not chasing him anymore, Riani stopped in front of a shop. He sat on one of the benches that were there while continuing to sob.
"Clean your tears, I don't want a woman as beautiful as you to feel sad."
Riani stared at the outstretched hand before her with the handkerchief that was there. He looked up and was surprised to see Clark in front of him.
"Clark?"
Clark smiled. "Hallo sister-in-law. Do I need to teach that man named Daniel Atmaja a lesson?"
"You know him?"
"He married my cousin. My aunt married an Indonesian. A businessman from Surabaya. That's why I live there. One house with Dewi Sriyanti who is the wife of Daniel Atmaja."
Riani was surprised to hear that. Is the world really so narrow?
