11 Years later, though,
A girl was running to and fro. He loved to play with water and sand.
“Dad, what is Dad doing?”
“Dad is making a necklace, baby. Look, do you like it?”
“It's so pretty. Can Daddy make 1 more?”
“Do you want it again?”
“Yes, I will save it for baby sister,” little girl who is now starting to grow up smiling teenagers.
From a distance, a woman with an enlarged stomach calls them, “Dad, mommy calls us.”
“Alright, let's go there.”
“Daddy just go first. I'll take my slippers first over there.”
“Alright, darling. Don't be long, Mommy's been waiting for us.”
“Okay, Dad. Ready!!” The girl placed her hand near her forehead like she was saluting.
The little girl walked away from the villa occupied by her family. He walked along the beach while remembering where he had put his sandals. He did not realize that he had gone too far.
“Aduhh!!” He was strangled because he suddenly fell. The sea water seems to be getting higher because the day has begun to go up in the afternoon and the moon is so round will appear in the sky again.
“Are you okay?”
“Hi Uncle!” greet the little girl while cleaning her feet that are exposed to a lot of sand.
The man helped the little girl to get up and clean her clothes and feet exposed to sand and sea water, “thank you, Uncle”
“Other times be careful,” said the man with a smile and rubbed the little girl's hair. The girl did not get her sandals, probably already carried away by the waves, she thought. He immediately wanted to run back to the villa, but his steps stopped and he turned to the man who helped him.
“Uncle!” Call her.
“Ya.”
“This is for Uncle. Thank you for helping me,” she put a necklace made by her daddy clams and then kissed the man's cheek.
“See you later, Uncle,” the little girl ran back to her village, waving.
“The boy is very funny, especially with his eyes that look so clear. Blue eyes that gave happiness, like sky and sea water,” the man spread his hands wide while breathing deeply in the air there, then holding his collar necklace with a smile.

7 Years later, the,
“Dad! Good morning!” Cheerful shout from a girl who today is exactly 17 years old.
“Morning, dear,” Raymond peeked at his beloved daughter.
“What Daddy will go to office today?” Ask Bianca.
“No, Dad. Today I will prepare for my birthday wonderfully. Daddy don't be late to go home later.”
“Hmm .. Where might Daddy forget the birthday of Daddy's beloved daughter,” Bianca also kissed Raymond's cheek before leaving the Costa Mansion.
Raymond saw Bianca leave, he took a slow breath. Raymond could still feel the loneliness and emptiness in his heart after the departure of his beloved wife 7 years ago.
The flashback
“Dad!” Bianca screamed when she found her Mommy lying on the floor with blood flowing from her groin. Raymond, who had just put their belongings into the trunk of the car, immediately ran when he heard Bianca's scream.
Raymond's face immediately paled when he saw the state of Amadea, his beloved wife. He lifted Dea's body and carried her into the car. He put Dea in the passenger seat, still unconscious. Raymond also directly fitted the seatbelt for Bianca who was sitting next to him.
Raymond did go on vacation only with his family, without bringing a driver, assistant or bodyguard. He just wants to feel together with his family, according to the request of his wife.
“Honey, how about we stay at our resort villa on the beach. But don't bring anyone, just us. I want to make memories of us together there.”
Raymond drove at high speed, making Bianca hold on to the seatbelt that ran across her body.
Arriving at the hospital, Raymond immediately carried Dea and asked for the best treatment. He could only stand in front of the ICU room feeling anxious while continuing to hold his daughter, Bianca Amadea Costa.
His feelings were immediately shattered into pieces when the Doctor declared that his wife could not be saved, as well as the baby being conceived by Dea. By then Dea had entered the last trimester, only counting weeks until they met their second baby. However, the news he got was reversed. He lost 2 people he loved dearly, his wife and their second child.
From then on, Raymond focused only on the work and also took care of Bianca. He always saw Dea in Bianca. Their faces were almost similar, it was just that Bianca had a blue tint to her eyes, following her.
Raymond never again opened his heart to any woman. He loved Amadea too much. They even married when they were 17 years old, because Raymond did not want to lose Amadea.
Flashback off
**
A cafe has been decorated so nicely. The concept is simply simplicity. Bianca knew very well that Raymond did not like anything excessive and he appreciated his Daddy very much.
Bianca often saw Raymond pensive himself in the garden behind their mansion. He also knows that his Daddy has been very lonely since his Mommy died 7 years ago. Bianca always tried to make Raymond smile, because he did not want Raymond daydreaming and sad.
Bianca's friends came to the cafe. The large glass on the left that directly borders the sidewalk makes the atmosphere so relaxed. Some plant pots are placed on the right, creating a natural and homey impression (comfortable like home).
Raymond came a while before the show started, “Dad!” Bianca in a green tosca dress walks over to Raymond.”
The event was very lively even though it was only done in a simple way. Some games are done and give a deep impression for Bianca because this year, Raymond participated in several games prepared.
“Bi, your Daddy is still so handsome. Maybe if he walked alone, I would think he was still single,” said a friend of Bianca.
“Of course. My dad is very young. He was still 17 years old when he married Mommyku,” Bianca smiled while looking at Raymond who did look very handsome and dashing.
“Wow, hot daddy!” Bianca's friends were so fascinated to see Raymond.
Meanwhile, beside the cafe, a flower shop was the arrival of a man who was famous for his success, because he could rebuild his company after it was almost bankrupt, he was Alessandro Romano.
He came out of the flower shop carrying a bouquet of orange tulips that meant happiness and warmth, luck, and optimism. Alessandro walked towards his car, he turned to the cafe which was so crowded in it, when it was still 6 pm. His eyes caught the figure of the man he hadn't seen in a long time …
Raymond's?
