Look at me, my man!
Terrified

After a long time of hugging each other, Dareen let go of her embrace, she held both of Theresia's shoulders and her thumb wiped away her daughter's tears.

“you're so beautiful," praised Dareen.

"I am beautiful" he answered. He banged on Darren's chest venting his anger, disappointment and delight.

"Daddy where you are? Why did Daddy disappear for five years? Did Daddy betray Mommy? Does Daddy have a new family?" Theresa spoke with tears, just imagining it made her claustrophobic. Honestly, this is what Theresa thought of her father. Darren disappeared because he had a new family, just like in the novels he had read, and now Theresia's crying was getting louder. He beat up Darren's body, he doesn't care about the people who see him. If only Darren were what he thought he was, of course he would be extremely wrathful.

"Theresia," called Darren, he held Theresia's hand so that Theresia would not continue to attack.

"No one betrayed you, Daddy left because he was taken hostage" he replied honestly.

Suddenly, Theresa stopped her crying, she looked at Darren in confusion.

"Sa-hostage?" asked Theresia in a stern manner.

In the end, Darren explained the outline to Theresia and he also said that Darren was already in Russia three months ago.

"So Daddy means ...." In the end, Theresia understood even though Darren only explained it briefly.

"That's all right, you can ask grandpa" Darren said.

At once, Theresa took her hand off Darren's hand and then hugged her father again. She was sure what her father had been through all this time was very bad, and in the end Theresa let go of his embrace.

"Let's go home" he asked.

However, Darren shook his head. "Daddy can't go home now" he said.

"Daddy have the heart for Mommy? Does Daddy have a replacement for Mommy?" teresia asked, her facial expression was different when she said that.

"No, Daddy wants to give a surprise like always when the moment of birthday. You remember Daddy saying that on birthdays, Daddy would surprise you?" ask Darren.

"But Daddy didn't lie?" Theresa asked back.

"No. If Daddy lied, Daddy wouldn't come to you here.”

"Where does Daddy live?" ask Theresia.

"Daddy lives in our old apartment. "Yes, let's eat. You haven't had lunch, have you?" ask Darren until Theresia nods. This time he immediately clasped his father's hand, pulling him to go to the car.

Darren drives his car at a moderate speed. He had a little trouble driving because theresia was holding his hand. The teenage girl was so afraid that Darren was lost again that even though Darren was next to her, she did not want to let go of his hand and really made Darren want to cry. He misses this moment so much. If Tristan had existed, it would probably have been happier. While Alden, he had already met his youngest son because Tommy had brought him in. He also asks Alden not to tell anyone that Alden met him.

After a long journey, Darren finally reached the restaurant. He got out of the car and Theresia quickly got down, then ran towards Darren and grabbed his father's hand until Darren laughed. Theresia was really afraid Darren would go away until she didn't want to spend a bit of time with her father.

"What do you want to eat?" ask Darren.

"Daddy, I want to order everything" he replied.

"All?" darren's repeated astonishment.

"I rarely eat, look at my body so thin" Theresia replied, causing Darren to shut his mouth and hold a laugh, even though his daughter's body could be said to be ideal.

"All right." Darren immediately ordered everything and finally, the waiter recorded Darren's order.

As the waiter left, Theresia immediately pulled her father's arm and then grabbed Darren's hand, then kissed his father's hand and this made Darren want to cry.

"I think I want to die. We've just made peace, but you've left me" replied Theresa.

"Already, already, this is in the restaurant. Many see you later," said Darren until Theresia immediately remove the corner of his eyes that have been watery, maybe even in a moment if continued Theresia will cry loudly as before.

Finally, the meal was over and now Darren and Theresia would be getting out of the restaurant.

"Theresa, Daddy's just gonna take you to the gate, okay? Daddy didn't want Mommy to see Daddy" Darren said as they were about to get in the car.

"I just want to stay in the apartment" said Theresia.

"Theresia, nothing will happen. How could Daddy leave you after Daddy lasted five years? Daddy just wanted to surprise Mommy on her birthday" Darren said, until Theresia nodded, then they got in the car.

After a long journey, finally the car driven by Darren arrived in front of the house. Theresia quickly descended, Theresia turned the beautiful woman straight inside.

"Theresa," call Shelby.

Shelby frowned when she saw the puffy face of Theresa crying.

"Theresa, is something bothering you?" ask Shelby. Instead of answering, Theresa ran to her mother and hugged her mother, leaving Shelby even more confused.

"Theresia, what's the matter?" ask Shelby. Instead of answering, Theresa shook her mother's body.

"Mommy," call Theresia as she releases a hug from Shelby.

"What gift would Mommy want when Mommy is going to have a birthday?" tanyakanya.

Shelby is silent, every birthday her wish is always the same, she wants Darren back. He wants to see Darren, he wants Dareen to be by their side. He still holds fast to Darren's promise to come on his birthday, and every year is all that's ever expected.

Shelby smiles.

"Mommy just wants us to be together" Shelby lies, even though she prays the same prayer every year, but she never says her prayers to her children, he just looked at everything in his heart.

Theresia then kissed Shelby's cheek.

"The bottom line, Mommy's hope will soon be granted," Theresia replied making Shelby frown. Her son really confused her.

"Theresa," call Shelby.

"I have to go to the room, I want a break." Theresia just passed by leaving Shelby, making Shelby shake her head, until Shelby finally continued her steps to take the elevator. He plans to exercise on top.

Darren runs his car at a moderate speed. After three years passed, Darren finally ventured to meet Mia. A lot of things happened with Mia's life. Now, Mia is being treated in a mental hospital because she is depressed from being dumped by Rush. Not to mention, Mia lost one leg due to an accident while chasing Rush.

Darren just wanted to confirm the whereabouts of the woman. Maybe he'll ask his father to move Mia overseas because he doesn't want any trace of Mia in this country.

After a long journey, the car driven by Darren finally arrived at the mental hospital where he was treated. The handsome man got off the car and entered and when Darren went to his ward.

Darren shut his mouth in disbelief as he looked at Mia's extremely thin, dry face, perhaps even just a bone. The look of Mia was so similar to that of the grandmothers. He who felt noticed immediately turned his head for a moment, the two ex-lovers looked at each other.

"Aah!" Suddenly Darren shouted as Mia ran with one leg towards him. Really, Mia is really terrible.
