More than a year of searching isn't a minute for Daniel. Every second he passed by grasping a longing that seemed able to freeze his heart. And every failure, he had to swallow the disappointment that seemed able to kill him.
Isn't today like a dream? His search will end.
He was still staring at a unique luxury building in front of him. His heart was beating faster than usual. He turned to look at his reflection from the windshield. Ensuring his appearance was perfect, before finally stepping steadily into that magnificent building.
A smile expands at the corner of his lips. He will find the Empress in his heart. Apologize and bring her home. Start everything from the beginning. But the fear is actually getting real.
What if Rani refuses?
Ah, that's business later. Daniel believes Rani is still keeping her heart for him. And it won't be that easy to turn away.
Daniel sat in the front seat. He had previously booked a VIP ticket.
Applause began to echo as a large curtain slowly opened. Followed by cheers from an audience dominated by children.
Yes, it's charity night to commemorate the world's children's day.
A pair of Daniel's neutrals instantly glazed over as his gaze caught the figure of a woman in a fairy-tale princess-like dress standing among seven dwarf men.
It really was Rani.
Not wrong anymore. She is playing the role of Snow White. From a trusted informant, Daniel knows that Rani performed tonight without pay.
Daniel could not wait to embrace her. Throughout the show, her gaze never escaped that pretty face.
You are still the same as when you first saw you.
The opera, which lasted forty-five minutes, was very long for Daniel.
The applause of the audience re-echoed when the show ended. Daniel looked up at the stage. He can still see Rani waving along with several other players.
Not wanting to miss a chance, Daniel quickly moved on. Passing through the seats that are still filled by the audience to the left side of the stage.
He looked out when he was backstage. Until finding the figure of Rani sitting with a woman.
That's Kania aka Gembul.
Daniel took a deep breath as if he was gathering all his courage. His feet slowly. However, it came to a standstill when it noticed the presence of a man walking towards Rani with a red rose in his hand. And unfortunately, Rani receives with a perfect fluffy smile.
People say that red roses symbolize love.
“Why, Uncle?” The tender greeting of a daughter dissolved Daniel's daydream.
He smiled faintly at a little girl with honey-haired hair, with blue eyeballs. Just like a Barbie doll. Daniel guessed he was 5-6 years old.
“It's okay. I just wanted to say hello to Snow White earlier.”
“Oh, that's Brother Aurora. I know him,” he said. excitedly.
“Really?”
“Iya. I used to play with Brother Aurora.” The little girl occasionally glanced at the corner of the stage.
"If the man knows no?" Daniel pointed to a man who was chatting with Rani.
“Of course you know, Uncle! That's my Daddy.”
Daniel's gaze was towards the European-faced man who was chatting with Rani. Seen pretty close. From the man's appearance, Daniel could guess that he was no ordinary person.
“What does your daddy have to do with Brother Aurora?”
No way, there is no relationship. The man had just given Rani a red rose. How thought.
“Daddy is his girlfriend Brother Aurora.”
The deg!
Daniel's eyeballs instantly widened to hear the little girl's innocent speech. His head shook quickly. He will not swallow any more information he gets about Rani from out there.
“Know where?”
"Daddy said it himself. Daddy said Aurora's sister will be my mom."
The deg!
Daniel took a deep breath. Suddenly his chest felt full.
