When Destiny Re-Picks
Part of the Plan

"The Emily Deandra family?"

Nico approaches immediately when the doctor treating Lily comes out. "How is he doing?"

"Nothing serious. Miss Emily just had a high fever. Changes in weather may be the cause" the doctor explained.

"Then how?"

"No need to worry, Madam. Miss Emily just needs to rest and be cared for a few days."

"We want to see it" said Nico impatiently.

"Please, Sir."

"Mrs ..."

Dian shed her tears again seeing her daughter lying weakly on top of the gurney with her hands infused.

"sickness ..." Lily showed her infused hand to Dian.

Nico didn't come any closer. He gave time to the mother and the child. There was Emi with Rico who did not come closer. They stood watching near Nico.

"It's okay. It's not long. Lily will heal quickly," persuaded Dian, peeking at Lily's old palm. Then switch to peeking Lily in.

Lily did not make a sound anymore, but her tears suddenly seeped out from the corner of her eyes.

"What's wrong?" Dian clasped her daughter's little face full of worry. "Where is sick?"

Lily shook her head weakly. The girl raised both hands, wanted the mother to hug herself and was immediately done by Dian who felt strange.

"Lily dear Mama" she whispered. "Mama also loves Lily," replied Dian.

Lily's gaze then accidentally fell on three men of different ages who were not far from her. The girl's eyes heated up to see the existence of the now smiling papa looking at her.

Lily looked at her mother with a confused look. Dian understands. He smiled as he nodded at Lily.

"From now on we'll all be together. Mama, papa, Emi's sister, Rico and Lily. That was Lily's wish a long time ago, wasn't it?"

"Really?" Dian no longer keeps their whereabouts a secret?

Nico finally came closer after wiping a little bit of the corner of his watery eyes. Today was so happy for him. Happier than anything he lived through thirty years of his life.

"We meet every day and tell stories together, but Papa never knows if it's Papa's own son. Papa's heart aches every time Lily calls out to him."

"You guys must have held back a lot of things, right? Forgive Papa. Papa's late. If Papa hadn't let go, we would have been together a long time ago. Sorry ..." Nico continued to mutter sorry. Tucked a lot of regret in his wet eyes.

Lily's little hand touched her father's swollen cheek. Slowly rubbing the remaining tears that are still flowing.

"That's destiny, Papa. If you don't go, you probably won't notice your own feelings. The existence of someone just feels meaningful when he is not with us," said Lily wise.

I don't know how many things Dian taught his son. Nico couldn't interrupt if his son had grown up earlier. Their small bodies could not compare to their already fast-developing brains.

Nico turned to look at Emi who was standing not far away after taking off her embrace. The boy turned his face towards the window to avoid the father's gaze.

"Emi, right? You also recognized Papa back then." He was very sure Emi had known him since their first meeting in the park.

Dian smiled bitterly. For the sake of closing the identity, his two children were willing to withstand many things.

"Emi," reprimanded Dian when she saw her son not budging.

"I'm sorry, but Emi just wants mama." The two black balls stared firmly, then without any warning Emi just walked out of the room.

"Emi!" Dian wanted to chase, but Lily held her hand.

"So it might take a while" Lily said. He knew Emilio was the one who was most opposed to their father's existence. Every time he complained about his father, Emi always answered and scolded him

In the new atmosphere, no one realized Rico was not there. The boy chose to leave secretly. He knew he was not part of them.

"You see? Mama didn't lie, did she? That woman made your papa leave Mama!" Melly smiled with satisfaction as her son began to listen.

He accidentally sees Rico coming out of an IGD with a sad face. Out of curiosity, he tried to find out by approaching there. A sneaky smile came out when he found out what was happening.

"Because she's Papa Lily and Emi," Rico's great-grandson quietly.

"He's your father Rico, too, but he won't admit it." Melly sat down slowly beside Rico.

"At first Mama just wanted you to come with her because they're rich. You can use them for our economy. But Mama didn't expect that she was the woman your father liked." Melly put on a sad face.

"Rico .. listen to Mama. We just need to get rid of them and take back papa Rico. Not just that. Rico might be able to master Dian's wealth as well. Doesn't he love Rico? He would not hesitate to give anything. That way we're back together, right?"

All are Melly's plans. The events at the mall were only part of his plan. He wished someone pity with his son, then was willing to take it. He did not expect that the woman who made a deal with him was the teenage girl who became Nico's wife first.

The Diandra he knew was very different from the one he saw now. It was only natural that he did not recognize her at first. Regretting if it turns out that the girl is not an indiscriminate girl, but a sole heir of a wealthy family.

"Rico has to stay with Dian's mom?" ask Rico plain.

"of course. Like Mama said at the beginning. Don't let the woman know if Mama ordered Rico. Rico was a kid, didn't need to know much. Just do what Mama asks."

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Hay hay gess ...

The novel is not finished yet. I took a break this month to become a writer. Just get some ideas for a sequel that will come later.

About if I make a sequel to Jourel as planned, anyone still want to read anyway?🤭
