When Destiny Re-Picks
The Warmth is So Real

The sound of the clanking of spoons is heard in the dining room which is now used by some people. There were about nine people in it. Everyone eats with wisdom. At the end of the table was a man who was consumed by age. His face was already wrinkled, but his body still looked fit.

The great lord of the Hanasta family whose health condition had declined, but was still seen as a noble. The man ate with occasional attention to his grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Today all his family gathered. Thanks to Serena's persuasion, Dian was finally willing to come with her three children. But that doesn't mean Dian's showing satisfaction. He just came to fulfill the invitation!

Serena was also present with her son and husband. The woman could still be polite and keep her attitude. In contrast to Dian who blatantly showed her dislike. The kids don't talk much unless they are asked. They know that their parents' relationship isn't very good. Family conflict is no longer a secret to them.

Same with Reana. The woman did not talk much either. Today is very rare. He didn't want to ruin any moments. Her eyes were always watching Dian who was unwilling to look at her since coming. His second son was the hardest he could soften.

"How was school today?" ask the big master to the children after everything is done. The servants had already taken the empty plate in front of them.

"Good."

"It's normal."

That different answer made the others shrivel up. Dian pulled the small corner of her lips hearing Emi's reply.

"Nothing interesting. Just study and watch people play, then go home. And so on," Emi said again. The boy spoke without burden.

"Nobody won't join and blend in. If you want to make friends it must be fun, "sold Lily is not satisfied.

"Momentary friendship. They'll leave if we don't have anything else" Emi said. Dian propped up her chin with both hands. He looked at Emi with a satisfied smile.

"Why say that?" The big master tried to relax. Emi her mother's duplicate. This child is not simple even though it is still a child.

"The school we visited was an elite school. His students come from middle to upper class families. There are also low-income people if lucky. Since the beginning of entry Emi has seen the border status they make ...."

".... Mama says don't be friends with people like that. Because when we fall, we stand alone in the end. And I haven't found anyone who can help me stand up for nothing."

Emi's long answer left everyone silenced, including the great master and madam Reana who felt stupefied. Dian taught a comparison of status so deeply to her son. Being alone is better than being with hypocrites.

The dagger of the closest person actually pierced the deepest, right? A friendship can be the quickest path to that. So be careful in getting along. Dian does not want her children will be like her former self who resigned to the situation.

"Yes, my brother is right. I just chose to be friends with scavengers. Simple but fun" Lily said.

"My mom likes to beat and scold me for money. I'm bringing trouble." Rico spoke up.

"Simple that makes people happy is different. Depends on how we react. Find your own definition of happiness." Rehan, Serena's son, chimed in.

Everyone smiled at the adults of these children. Don't look at their little bodies, see how mature and clever they are. The most important thing is the role of parents. Today Dian and Serena have proven that happiness does not lie in matter.

"Haha .. smart kid, very smart. Continue with your stance. Grandpa was so proud!" The great master laughed in satisfaction.

Past events have taught the great Lord and Rea a lesson. The two no longer wanted to interfere in their lives. Even so, the legacy must still be passed on by his children.

"We want to talk to your parents. Go play on top. Grandpa's already prepared a lot of toys."

"Painting equipment is also available" Rea continued.

"alright. We go first."

The atmosphere was instantly silent after the four left. Dian sighed harshly until he sounded.

"Dian, can you not be too blatant in showing your attitude?" Rea spoke as subtly as possible. This middle-aged woman still did not understand why Dian was not afraid to show her vices in front of the children.

"You're not afraid of kids imitating your bad manners?" Rea could not help himself.

Dian chuckles. "Where do you think my bad attitude came from?" Smilingly.

"Dian ..." reprimanded Sera slowly. Dian clucked, but kept complying.

"Children should know what is good and bad. Not everything they see deserves an example. I'm not afraid because I believe in them."

No matter what others think. Whether or not she becomes a mother only she knows. Sacrifice, hard work, compassion only he knows clearly. Should others be commenting while they don't know what we're doing?

His attitude might make others misunderstand. For those who judge from the outside, it is clear that Dian is bad. That's why, both good and bad, we're the only ones who know.

Dian stared at some of the stamped paper in front of her with a sharp look. As expected, the grandfather took off all his shares on him. Serena clearly refused. He really did not want to interfere anymore in family business affairs.

Dian also resolutely rejected that responsibility. At first he just obeyed the wishes of Reana who pleaded. Just helping not being an heir! Even without the Hanasta company, he was still able to support his own family.

"Dian, Grandpa appreciates Sera's rejection because she has a husband, but you? Who will help you if your grandfather and mother are no more?"

"Grandfather knows you can even without us. Let grandfather and Rea make amends for our mistakes. See condition. Maybe I'll be a little later. Grandfather can't calm down if you just rely on yourself constantly." The big master didn't give Dian a chance to talk.

"It may be too late for us to pay. Mama wants you to reduce your burden, Dian. Don't force yourself to look strong."

There's been a lot that they took away from the little lives of Dian and Serena. Serena may still be persuaded, but Dian is barely helped. The woman planted hatred so deeply.

"At least think about your children. You can give it to them someday and as our last request."

Seeing the sincere eyes of the mother Dian's heart was slightly moved. Just this time he saw his mother's warm gaze after twenty-five years of her life. Rea even hugged herself with bated tears. It was very short, but Dian felt a sense of warmth.

Is this what it feels like to have your own mother's love?

"Mama!" Dian woke up from her daydream. Apparently there was Emi, Rico and Lily next to him.

"Mama's fine, right?" Lily put her head close to Dian's face.

Anxiously Dian grabbed the small face and kissed it in droves. Muah, muah, muah. Lily laughed amusedly as Dian had already kissed her neck as well. Emi and Rico also laughed at her.

"Mama, noo .. haha, Lily's ticklish."

"Oh yeah? Mama wants to eat Lily then." Dian dropped Lily on the sofa and rubbed her belly.

"Haha .. ticklish .. sister please Lily!!" Lily squirmed unruffled.

"Datangg's savior ..." Emi ran up to Dian's back, then hugged her mother's neck.

"Mama was exposed to the zombie virus. Save Lilyy!!" roc's screaming hugging Dian's leg.

Dian laughed off. He started attacking Emi and Rico as well. That night Dian's house was back in the content of cheerful laughter from the person inside. The young woman who already bears the title of mother will not hesitate to show her warmth along with the three lights of her life. Be the best version of yourself.
