...

Dasha felt her sleep was very sound, but a soft caress was on her cheek as if forcing Dasha to wake up.

At first a pair of Dasha's eyes blinked slowly. But when his consciousness began to gather intact to give Dasha the power to open her eyes, the first thing Dasha saw was the face of a middle-aged woman who still looked very beautiful at her age who was not young anymore.

"Dasha, you're finally awake ..."

"Mrs Lanaa ...!"

Dasha rose from her sleep, immediately scattering and hugging the body of Lana who was sitting at the bedside.

In an instant the cry of the little girl had broken down violently, once the memory of the bad event that had just happened to her came back to mind.

"Sssstt .. no, don't cry anymore because now you're safe ..."

"Mrs, I'm afraid ..."

"There is no need to fear, because from this moment on there will be no more people who will sculpt you." concluded Lana, while rubbing the tiny back that goes up and down because of sobs.

"I woke you up on purpose because you were sleeping through dinner."

"Mrs, I'm not hungry."

"But you still have to eat. Look, I brought you dinner myself." Lana pointed to the tray on the small table beside Dasha's bed.

The next second Lana got up and picked up the plate that was on the tray.

"I will eat alone, Madam," said Dasha, wiping her moist eyes with the back of her hand, when she realized that Lana was going to bribe her.

"Are you sure you're gonna eat by yourself?"

"Of course, Madam," nods Dasha confidently, while taking over the plate that was originally in Lana's hands, who finally handed over the plate despite a slightly hesitant gesture.

Lana finally chose to sit back on the bed, while continuing to pay attention to Dasha who started scooping the food on the plate.

Lana's heart is secretly filled with Dasha who looks so strong, even though she has just experienced a very bad event, a few hours ago.

Not even feeding herself, the little girl looked stunned for a moment, as if thinking of something.

"Mmm, ma'am, where's Mr Luiz?"

"Luiz? oh, he ..."

"Madam, I want to meet .." whine Dasha while putting the spoon in her hand again, instead of looking at Lana with a pair of eyes that condense.

Lana smiled as she looked at Dasha. Her hands were raised to caress Dasha's broken hair.

"Luiz is still with his daddy. There's an important talk to discuss first."

Dasha was silent to the explanation, trying as much as possible to harbor the strange low-brow that inhabited the corner of her heart.

A kind of longing to see a figure who has saved himself from a tragedy that is very gripping.

"I'll have Luiz come to see you in the morning. Because it's so late now, it's best that after eating, you get back to rest ..."

"But Lady Lana, I ..."

"Don't argue .. eat first then rest ..."

Lana's soft words made Dasha powerless to argue.

Finally, in a slow motion, Dasha again grabbed the spoon on her plate, began to eat slowly under the shady gaze of Lana, who occasionally stroked Dasha's hair lovingly.

"Our new company needs extra attention, Luiz. Don't want to, Daddy has to hand."

"But, Dadd ..."

"This is the last thing Daddy should have done. If everything is done and has been running normally, then you must promise to handle everything without rejection."

Luiz massaged both eyebrows at once, accepting Arshlan's decision about her future as well as the future of their business.

A giant company located in one of the industrialized countries began operating this year. If no one handles it directly, then it does not rule out the possibility of affecting the overall business wheel turnover.

Arshlan has decided to go abroad with Lana, in order to handle it directly. While here, he had forced Luiz to accept his responsibility in full.

"Daddy and Uncle Her are getting older. We can only expect you to be completely."

Luiz did not interrupt the sentence Arshlan said. He continued to massage his eyebrows in a slow motion.

"Luiz, set your readiness. After everything goes normal, promise me you'll replace daddy to shoulder all the responsibilities that have been put on daddy."

"Dadd, in five years, all the possibilities can happen. I still wish that Leo ..."

"Leo can come at any time. But Daddy still expects you." concluded Arshlan firmly, as if can no longer be denied.

Luiz took in a breath that felt extremely heavy, while looking at Arshlan with a look of near surrender.

"Why should I, Dadd? why should I not be given a choice...?" look at Luiz again.

To be honest, Luiz didn't want to accept his Daddy's trust. But running all the business that Daddy started, is he capable?

Luiz was afraid that he would disappoint the many who had put their hopes down, much to the disappointment of Daddy Arshlan.

"Itsa ..."

"Maybe because Daddy always sees Daddy in you. You tau? you ... are the perfect image of Daddy in his youth. That's what makes Daddy so unselfish, that he doesn't want to give you a choice ..."

Luiz was stuck again.

"Luiz, I'm sorry Daddy, for giving you this much responsibility. But what can I do, Daddy can only count on you."

Indeed, deep down Luiz did not have the heart, seeing his Daddy still had to intervene directly with all business matters like this.

But how else?

Luiz's heart was always hesitant whenever required to step forward.

"Well, Dadd, then when are Daddy and Mommy planning to go?"

"Quickly."

"What ...?!"

"In two or three days, maybe ..."

Luiz breathed heavily.

Five years was not a short time, but Luiz was completely left with no choice.

Had Luiz had the courage to assume full responsibility, it would have been clear that Luiz would have offered to replace Daddy and handle everything.

But what to say, Luiz felt he did not have a single speck of courage to stand alone with full confidence.

Various fears of failure continue to haunt his steps and make himself insecure.

Maybe all this time people out there will see Luiz as the great son of a Mr. Arshlan. But in reality, everything that happens is exactly the opposite.

Compared to Daddy Arshlan, Luiz was nothing.

Luiz even had to be in the shadow of Uncle Her for so long, though, although the old man had so often complained that it was time he rested himself from the rigors of the business world that had been done for decades.

At times like this Luiz always felt that Leo was even better than him.

Leo is able to decide what he wants to live in this life, dare to challenge the world and take off everything he has.

Leo's career was formed with the results of his own hard work, without the slightest derogation of Arshlan's big name. Only a handful of people know Leo's true background, and the man solidifies himself without the burden of entertainment, where all the public eye is precisely fixed on him.

The sound of the open door disturbed the long-reigned silence, along with the appearance of Lana's figure with a distinctive smile.

"Darling, it's so late. Let Luiz rest." said as he approached the table where Luiz and Arshlan sat facing each other.

"How are things, Dasha?" asked Arshlan without heeding Lana's sentence at the beginning.

"looks better. I had to wake her up for dinner. I can't bear to let him continue sleeping on an empty stomach."

Arshlan looks to nod. "What you're doing is right, honey. However, Dasha had to eat dinner first, before returning to rest." then Arshlan's gaze moved towards Luiz. "Luiz, what about the culprit?"

"I've given that man a lesson first, before letting the law judge him."

"Good."

Lana glared at the strange conversation interaction that must have been thrown accidentally in front of her.

"Luiz, what do you mean by giving the man a lesson first?"

Luiz who regained his senses shook his head swiftly. "Egh, t-no, Momm, I mean, I just had my men catch him and drag him to the police station."

"But you said ..."

"Nothing, you just misheard it." this time it was Arshlan who mediated swiftly.

"But ..."

"Luiz, go get some rest." concluded Arshlan quickly, without the slightest heed to Lana's protesting gaze which had now been directed fully at her.

"Well, Momm, Dadd .. I'm going to go to my room right now."

Without wasting any more time Luiz got up from his double, walking towards Lana and Arshlan only to land a fleeting kiss of good-night before actually moving on.

"Oh yes Luiz, Dasha asked you. He wanted to see you, but Mommy had banned him and said that you'd see him tomorrow morning."

Lana's long sentence successfully stopped Luiz's steps right on the doorstep.

"Luiz, did you hear what Mommy said?"

"I heard it, Momm." said softly without looking.

Then Luiz had spoken again in a slow tone, still without turning his head.

"Have a nice dream Momm ... Gadd ..."

Said the man, before completely disappearing from the door frame, regardless of the stares of his two attached parents ...
