In a large and classy meeting room, Sebastian sat at the head of a long table, surrounded by company executives. One by one, they gave presentations, discussing the quarterly targets that had to be achieved. However, Sebastian's gaze was blank, his eyes not really paying attention to the presentation screen filled with numbers and graphs. His thoughts drifted to Dinda, his little daughter, and Sara who was increasingly trying to win custody.    "Mr. Sebastian," called Andi, the marketing manager, in a hesitant voice. "What do you think about this expansion plan?"    Sebastian was surprised as if he had just been woken up from his reverie.

That feeling added a new burden to his chest, which was getting tighter as time went by.  When the judge invited Rendy to give his initial statement, the lawyer stood calmly. He stepped into the center of the room with apparent confidence, delivering his opening argument in a loud and firm voice. "Your Honor," he said, "our client, Sara, has provided a stable and loving environment for Dinda. In addition, the emotional closeness between them has been a strong foundation that has encouraged Sara to maintain this custody."  Every word that came out of Rendy's mouth was like a knife stabbing Sebastian's heart, making his chest
