Rio clenched Jasmine's body tightly, as if afraid that Jasmine would leave again from his life. After there was the drama of expulsion and Rio's persistence to stay afloat, Jasmine finally relented, because deep down, Jasmine could not deny that she missed Rio so much.
Although Rio had already explained everything, Jasmine still felt this was still like a dream. He was even afraid to open his eyes back, afraid once he opened his eyes, Rio was no longer in front of him.
"Jas, why didn't you open your eyes?do you really not want to see me?"
Jasmine shook her head, with her eyes still remaining faithful closed.
"If not, why don't you open your eyes?" rio's eyes squinted, staring confusedly at his wife.
"I'm afraid that if I open my eyes, it's just a dream. So let me just close my eyes for a minute, so I can be happy even if it's just for a minute,"
Seulas a fluffy smile on Rio's lips heard Jasmine's reasoning which he thought was very funny.Then Rio leaned his body, giving a brief peck in both of Jasmine's closed eyes, turning to the tip of the nose and lastly to the lips.
Rio's treatment made Jasmine, smiling sweetly, but still holding on not opening her eyes, because she was still convinced that it was still her hallucination.
"Aww, sick!" he exclaimed as he rubbed his cheeks that had just been pinched by Rio.
"Do you still feel like this is just a dream? otherwise let me add it up somewhere else, kiss your lips for example," Rio rolled his eyes teasing his wife whose face was now blushing.
"So this isn't a dream, are you real? and what you explained was true? scatter Jasmine with busy hands flipping through Rio's body.
Rio's smile grew more and more, even more towards laughter, seeing Jasmine's reaction which he thought was very 'warming'.
"Mama!" celyn's voice that suddenly appeared from the direction of the room shocked the two people who were taking off the longing.
Rio stood up and was stunned to see his daughter who had grown into a cute little girl, who if seen had eyes and nose similar to her. Slowly Rio stepped closer to the unmoving Celyn from his place.
"Papa? you're my papa, right?" celyn asked that made Rio shocked, because his daughter could know and know that he was her papa. But to make her daughter's heart happy, Rio nodded his head.
Cellyn immediately rushed to hug Rio. "Papa's uncle came home too.Mama said, Papa did it far, so he could not go home. Every night Celyn beldoa while holding a photo Papa, Agal Papah quickly go home, bial Celyn can play with papa. Papa is no longer a jogger, right? Papah don't have to buy Celyn toys, buy clothes, dolls, which is important papah don't go anymore, yes." Rio was standing with Celyn's hands hanging on his shoulders as well as the legs clamping down on Rio's waist.
"Yes, papa won't go again. Papa will continue to be with Cellyn and mama." Rio gently stroked his daughter's head that was already leaning on his chest.Without him noticing, a drop of clear liquid managed to escape out of the corner of his eyes.But, he hurriedly caressed her, before Celyn realized it.
Celyn raised her head from Rio chest and looked at Rio with her bead of happy sparkling eyes.
"Asiiiks! Papa didn't lie, did he? celyn's prayer was granted to God. Celyn can call 'Papa' every day. Cellyn I miss Papah!" Celyn gave a kiss on Rio cheek then put her head back on Rio chest.
"Papa misses Celyn too!" rio said giving a kiss on his daughter's head.
"Did Papa just miss Celyn? Papa don't miss mama?" Celyn again raised her head and looked at Rio, with her head slightly tilted.
"Of course papa misses mama. Papa misses you both." Rio grabbed Jasmine's shoulder with one hand then embraced her.

Amanda just got off an angkot. After paying the fare for three people, Amanda took the hands of her two children to her rented house. However, as she was about to arrive home, Amanda noticed a parked car and two people standing at the door, knocking on the door.
Amanda steps up with a curious mind that haunts her mind, wondering who and what the purpose of the two people whose age seems to be middle-aged.
"Sorry, sir, Mom, find who?" The two men, turning their heads, turned towards Amanda and her two children.
The two faces of that person, looked sparkling, with an expanding smile staring towards Aby and Anin.
"Hi, you're Aby and Anin right?" the middle-aged woman, immediately greeted the two children who immediately retreated and slightly hid behind Amanda's back.
"Oh, I'm sorry, can we talk inside for a moment?" this time it was the middle-aged man who still looked dashing that opened his voice.
"Can, Sir, Mom!" Amanda opened the door, using the key she had just picked up from inside the bag. "Please enter Sir, Mom! please sit down!" Amanda told her two children to accompany the guest while she stepped back to make a drink.
Not long after, Amanda came up with a tray with two glasses of sweet tea in it. Amanda was a little surprised to see her two children who were very quickly familiar with the two people she did not know at all.
"Please drink, Sir, Mom! sorry, this is all there is." Amanda said as she placed the glass with the tea on the table.
"Thank you, Amanda! your name is Amanda, right?" said the man with a friendly smile.
Although Amanda was a little surprised, because they knew her name, but Amanda still answered 'yes' politely.
"I'm Rudi Bagaskara, and this is my wife Amara,"
Both netra Amanda grew up, so knowing the people who visited was not a random person.
"We came here because we were very interested in the talents and abilities of your two children. You're a great mother who can raise these two talented children on your own. So if you don't mind, we want to finance your two children's education, according to the talent they have, how?" Amara opened her voice, with a hopeful look.
"I'm sorry, sir, Mom.I'm sorry, just ___" before"
"We beg you, son Amanda! we don't have any intention. We sincerely want to help." Amara interrupts Amanda's remarks which she believes are about to reject her request.
"So, we have also had time to ask your two children, they said, they want, if you allow," Amara added.
Amanda turned her gaze towards her two children, who were also staring at her. Amanda could see clearly in the beads of her two children's eyes, sparkling with hope. Amanda, closed her eyes, then let out a long sigh.
"Good, Sir, Mom! for their sake I'm willing." said Amanda decided who immediately got a hug from Aby and Annin.
"Thank you Mama!" call both at the same time.
"Well, I won't be lonely at home anymore, Papa there will be chess friends!" peekik Amara spontaneously with a happy face while holding her husband's hand .
"Yes, Mah! I will also have a friend, to defeat Ardan. Papa's time lost directly from the child? this time I have a hero who will definitely be able to defeat him!" exclaiming Rudi no less happy, to make Amanda confused.
"Friends playing? not lonely anymore? what does this mean?" amanda's eyes looked at Rudi and Amara alternately with frowning confused.
"Not necessarily Ardan can lose, Pah. Did you forget that our son was also an expert in playing chess from childhood?" amara rebutted with a mocking smiling lip towards her husband.
"Sorry, Mister, Ma! what does this mean? should we go with Mom and Dad?" The small debate between Rudi and Amara instantly came to a halt upon hearing the question Amanda had just thrown. For a moment the two people looked at each other.
"Have we not told you?" Amanda shook her head in response.
"Yes, Amanda's son! it's good that you all come with us to the house. They will continue their education there.You are calm, if you mind staying with us, you can stay in the back pavilion of the house. And one more thing, we heard, if you are also a scholar, so you can work in our company," explained Rudi straightforwardly, and clearly.
"How about, Amanda's son?" amara asked, when she saw Amanda who was just speechless.
"All right, Sir, Mom! I want to, for their sake!" close Amanda with passion.
