"Who? And what's wrong?" asked Darren in his heart.Darren felt he did not recognize the number. "I tried calling. Who is the person who suddenly asked to meet like this?"However, Darren tried several times to contact the number but could not be reached. "What does he want? Why should I see him?"Darren finally ignored it because the number was also unreachable.Darren would never care, and he didn't feel like he needed that person either. "If he needs me, he shouldn't limit his number. I don't need him, and I'm not going to see him."Darren put his cellphone back, and by this time Amina had left; as usual, Amina would invite Noah to play."Without realizing it, three years have passed; everything I had planned has already come true. But, for some reason, one thing I still can't do is forget Renata," Darren muttered softly as he stared dreamily out the window. Seeing the swimming pool with small ripples blown by the wind.Yes, until now, Darren has not been able to forget Renata. In
"How can it be the same?" Darren asked again, and he didn't seem to believe in the coincidence."What do you mean the same?" asked Amina, surprised.Darren shook his head and smiled at Amina. "It's okay, Mom. We'll meet; it's not good to refuse people's offers. And also, we can invite Noah to play there too.""You're serious?" asked Amina, looking enthusiastic. Initially, Amina was very afraid of their plan to bring Darren and Nana together. Darren had shown his disinterest from the start, even though she knew that Nana was an artist.The reason Anaya wants to set Darren up with Nana is that she wants Nana to marry a businessman. So far, Nana has only had relationships with fellow artists who don't have a future, such as a promising business."Yes, ma'am, but this is just a meeting of acquaintances, right?" asked Darren to make sure. Darren did not think about continuing the relationship on a more serious level. Darren just appreciates the efforts of their parents.Amina nodded her he
"You have children?" asked Nana, looking scornful.Darren nodded his head. "Yes, he has been difficult for three years."Nana looked very annoyed; she felt that Darren had played her. Because his mother said that Darren was single."You have a wife?" asked Nana again.This time, Darren shook his head. "No."Nana furrowed her brows even more, making it even more incomprehensible. "You mean you're a widower?""Yes, I am a widower with one child," Darren answered casually.In contrast to Nana, Anaya looked relaxed. It seemed he already knew that Darren was a widower. Chances are he didn't share such circumstances with Nana."Mommy..." Nana called, looking at her mom with annoyance."Later, mom will explain to you; we're just here to get to know each other, Na," Ayana replied gently.Nana pouted. You can clearly see the look of annoyance on Nana's face."How can mom want to introduce Nana to a widower?" Mami wants Nana to be a nanny." asked Nana, annoyed, while forcing her to eat grilled
"Sir, can we interview?"Suddenly, several journalists came to Darren's desk.Darren took a deep breath as he realized that. "Gosh, my history is over! This is what makes me not like hanging out with artists!"Darren kept thinking; he closed his head and asked the nanny to take Noah to Amina's table. Because he doesn't want Naoh to be exposed and Noah's privacy disturbed by them."Sorry, I can't give any explanation. And I don't even understand why you would want to interview me," Darren replied, dodging the journalists' questions.The journalists didn't care; they just kept surrounding Darren by holding out their cellphones, microphones, and recorders."But you are with Nana. Is it true that Nana will be betrothed to you?" asked the reporter again.Meanwhile, Anaya looked down. He didn't want reporters to see him. Of course, there are some journalists who know him."Sitting here doesn't mean we're a couple who want an arranged marriage. Is this still matchmaking season?" Darren asked
In a five-star hotel room. A beautiful woman watching television widened her eyes when the flat-screen rectangular object broadcast the news of a famous artist named Nana."Darren..." he said quietly, even so softly that the words that came out of his mouth were similar to a murmur.His eyes continued to stare at the screen in front of her until the news finished broadcasting. She even watched as Nana cursed at Darren, even though there was no sound because the broadcast was a hunted photo by the media crew.Confirmed that the man who is with Nana is a businessman who owns a cafe that is quite famous. The current one is a widower with one child.That was the voice of a female presenter who was reading the news."Darren is still not married."Yes, that woman is Renata, who has just returned to this country after nearly four years of being missing.Currently, Renata has successfully completed her education, and she has also successfully run a boutique business for the past six months. S
"Hello…."Tut!Renata quickly made the decision to turn off the phone."Huffft!" Renata took a deep breath. A feeling welled up in her chest."Darren's voice is still the same. And it's strange why Darren is so quick to answer this phone call?" Renata asked, looking at her cell phone with a confused look.Renata put her phone back on the table and closed her eyes.And the thing that annoyed Renata the most was when she felt so happy hearing Darren's voice. "Is it really Darren that I miss, not Noah?"The question just crossed his mind; Renata even held her chest to confirm how she felt. Because until now she never understood his own feelings.Kriet!Agnes, her trusted employee, returned to her room and looked at Renata with a probing look. Renata's face looked pale."Ma'am Renata, are you okay?" asked Agnes worriedly.Especially when he saw that Renata was sweating coldly, as if she were holding back fear.Renata shook her head. "Yeah, I'm okay. What's wrong?"Renata shook her head. S
Renata took a few steps back, but she had already reached the house. She couldn't leave anymore, especially since Darren had seen her."What's his name? So that later, when I report inside, it will be easy to find out, I asked the father before opening the gate."Mr. Yadi, invite him in!"Darren, who was already near the gate, asked the man named Yadi to open the door for Renata. And Darren seemed so enthusiastic about welcoming Renata that afternoon."Yes, sir," replied Yadi.Kriet! The sound of the iron door being opened was heard, and Renata was invited to enter the courtyard of the house, which at this time looked very neat and tidy. All construction has been completed and looks luxurious, cool, and more alive.Renata looked around; so many orchids were planted. A moment later, Renata was stunned because she knew orchids were her favorite, and Darren knew that too."Renata, when are you coming back?" asked Darren, who couldn't even speak because he was so happy to see Renata's une
Renata took a deep breath. "Can't you see he's afraid of me? Don't hold me back, Darren. I don't want to ruin him happiness."Renata said that with teary eyes. It looks like she's currently holding back his tears.How come? It was excruciatingly painful to see the child born from the womb and carried for nine months and to feel terrified at the sight."But I don't blame Noah. He definitely doesn't know me, and it's all my fault," Renata continued quietly.Darren shook his head, but he didn't let go of Renata's hand. Actually, deep down, he really wanted to hug Renata. However, he knew the limit was that they were no longer husband and wife."No one blames you or Noah. Here, you only need to be patient for a while for Noah to get to know you. He needs time to get to know you slowly," said Darren, who was still trying to hold Renata's hand to make her stay."Pap-paa...," Noah called, who followed Darren to the front door.Seeing that Renata was still there, Noah immediately asked Darren
