-- In the car --

Alexander kept silent. Maurice looked at him through the mirror.

Maurice: "Sir."

Alexander did not hear Maurice calling him. Then, Maurice called him again.

Maurice: "Sir."

Alexander: "Ohh yes. Why?"

Alexander startled with Maurice calling him.

Maurice: "Are you okay?"

Alexander: "Yes, I am."

Maurice: "You looked down."

Alexander: "Oh that was nothing Maurice. I just remembered something. That’s all."

Maurice: "Hmm. Alright, sir."

He knows well Alexander would never forget about the incident that already happened 5 years ago since he took care of Alexander at the age of 5 until he's having a child.

-- 5 years ago --

Alexander was sitting at the cafe having tea. Wearing a black jacket, blue jeans, gloves, and boots. He took off his gloves and reached for the cup of tea and sip it slowly. Suddenly someone closed his eyes with both palm hands. He smiles it and says:

Alexander: "Hmmm, Eva?"

Then suddenly, his eyes were not closed anymore. He could see a fierce expression shown on her girlfriend face.

Jessica: "Tell me now, who Eva?"

Jessica angrily mixed with jealousy asking that question to Alexander. She sits in front of him. Alexander laughed at her.

Alexander: "Hahaha just joking. I already know it was you."

Jessica: "Pfff. Hahahaha."

He stares at Jessica while laughing. He is deeply in love with her.

Alexander: "So, my love. Where are we gonna go now?"

Jessica: "Hurm... to the universe?"

Alexander: "Oh to the universe huh?! Alright."

He gets up from the chair, walks toward Jessica and lifts her, and spins around.

Jessica: "No! Stop! Stop! Hahahaha. I am scared."

She hugged him and felt scared if she would fall down. While Alexander made the spin non-stop.

Alexander: "We are going to the universe just like what you said."

Jessica: "Alright, alright. We go to the park now. Put me down okay. People already stare at us now, Alex."

Alexander: "Hahahahaha. Alright."

He puts her down. And hold her hands. They walked away from the cafe to their destination. They are having good times together.

Maurice: "Sir."

Alexander kept silent. Maurice called Alexander, but not having a response from him. Then he called him again.

Maurice: "Sir!"

Alexander: "Yes!"

Alexander suddenly realizes he already arrives in front of his company.

Maurice: "We already arrived."

Alexander: "Oh alright, thanks, Maurice."

He took his briefcase with him.

Louise, who waited for him in front of the company entrance, walked toward his boss's car and opened the door for him. He took the briefcase from Alexander.

Louise: "Good Evening sir."

Alexander: "Yeah you too."

Then he walked into the company.

-- At night, in Huang Mansion --

Jane is busy in her study room completing her task. While busy looking on computer screen finishing her work, the study room is filled with keyboard typing sound since she likes to stay silent and no music at all to focus on her work. She startled heard someone knock on the door.

Jane: "Who’s there? Come in."

Then, the door opened. Daniel came into the room.

Daniel: "Hi mom"

Jane: "Hi honey, not gonna sleep yet?"

Daniel: "Not yet. You?"

Jane: "I am busy right now. I will sleep after finishing all this stuff."

Daniel: "Alright."

Jane turn to her son. Stop doing her job.

Jane: "Is there something you want to share with me, honey?"

Daniel shook his head.

Jane: "Alright, then what is it?"

She looked at her son and waited for the question.

Daniel: "Mom... mmm you know next week the school had examination right?

Jane: "Yyess... Then?"

Daniel: "You know after the examination, there is gonna have parents meet at school for report card things right"?

Jane: "Of course.... Hey, honey... why? Are you having problem with your study? I can help you.

Daniel: "No, no, no.... That's not what I mean."

Jane: "Really? Then what is it?"

Daniel: "You know David my classmate, he always had his dad come to the parents meet to school. And he always said he played basketball with his dad after school. What I am gonna ask is why don't I have one like David, but David have it?"

Jane was shocked by his questions. She knows that Daniel will ask her soon about that. She hold her son's hands.

Jane: "Hmm, okay. Listen, you are special than anyone else. Eventhough you don’t have a dad. You still have grandpa, grandma, uncle Jensen, uncle Jerrett and me. I know that I am not answering your question. But trust me, someday you will understand why. Right now, I will try my best to fit the dad and mom roles for you. Okay?"

Daniel smiled bitterly and understood what his mom was trying to say. Jane looks at the clock on the wall. The time shows near 10 pm.

Jane: "Hey baby, you should go to sleep now or you will be late for school tomorrow."

Daniel: "Alright mom. Good Night."

Jane: "Alright honey, sleep tight."

She kissed her son’s forehead before he left her alone in that room. Daniel closed the door. Jane took a deep breath and slowly calmed herself.

Jane: "What am I gonna do now? He already asking...."

She heard someone open the door. She saw her dad.

Jane: "Dad... Still not sleeping yet?"

Jane asked him with a smile.

Mr. Huang: "I heard what Daniel asked you."

Jane sighs for a moment.

Mr.Huang: "Does Wayne Yao have the potential to be Daniel’s dad?"

He tries to ask the question to see his daughter's reaction.

Jane: "Oh dad, he's just a friend. A best friend. "

Mr.Huang: "Are you sure that guy thinks of you as a friend? He bought me a set of limited edition porcelain cups from Japan last month."

Mr.Huang smiles at his daughter.

Jane laughs and starts talking.

Jane: "Nah, really just a friend. I totally confirmed."

Mr. Huang: "If you say so, then it’s okay. But he is a nice guy."

Jane feels shy discussing that, she quickly changes the topic.

Jane: "About Daniel, you don’t have to worry about it. I already explained it to him."

Mr.Huang: "You are not explaining. You are just avoid it. That's different things."

Jane sighs at the moment.

Jane: "It is still early to make him understand the situation. He will forget about it later. So, daddy, you don’t have to worry about it."

Jane gave a smile to her dad.

Mr.Huang: "He will not forget it, my dear. He asks the question because he sees the differences between himself with other children at school."

Mr.Huang: "He is still alive right?"

Jane: "Huh? Who?"

Mr.Huang: "Daniel’s dad."

Jane: "I don’t know. I don’t know who he is. Jessica never told me about him. She just told me that guy had the same bracelet as I am wearing now. Jessica made the bracelet by herself. So, that was the clue about him I know."

Mr.Huang: "That's difficult"

Mr.Huang: "Now, what makes you really worried about Daniel?"

Jane: "His dad."

Jane replied with a short answer.

Jane: "I am scared if he knows his child is still alive, he will make something bad towards him."

Jane: "I saw how Jessica died. In front of my eyes, the car explodes. She knows they are coming for her. That accident gave me a nightmare for more than a year."

Jane: "I still remember her last word dad…"

Jane: "She said it was his family that after her life. They want her to die because she gave birth to his child. I can’t accept that they want to kill Jessica with his child too."

Jane was really frustrated remembering that moment.

Mr. Huang: "You already save Daniel. Jessica will be thankful to you for taking care of Daniel very well until now. Just keep calm now okay. No matter what happens. I will protect Daniel too. I also loved him so much even though he was just my adopted grandchild. Same with your mom and your brothers, they loved him so much. Daniel's cheerfulness really makes our family feel warm, right?"

Jane: "Alright dad. Thank you so much for that. I really appreciate it."

She hugged her dad tight.

Wayne: “Ah, I see. My future son are 5 years old now.”

Alexander: “Your confidence level really something huh?”

Wayne: “Like always”

Wayne & Alexander: “Hahahahahaha”

Alexander: “I am just gonna say this, Wayne. Put all your effort into it. It really was not easy to get someone's heart when they already have a child in their life. Too cautious.”

Alexander put his hand on Wayne's shoulder showing him he supported all his effort in getting someone he loves.

Wayne: “Thanks bud for your advice.”

Aurora: “Daddy!”

Aurora runs toward her dad.

Alexander: “Hey, my princess. Sorry for not realizing you here. Come, daddy want to show you my best friend.”

Alexander lifted Aurora up and put her in his arms.

Wayne: “Hey, Little Aurora.”

Wayne smiled at her.

Alexander: “You can call him Uncle Wayne. Do you remember, you received a gift from Japan for your third birthday? This uncle posted it for you. He stayed there before, now he moved here.”

Wayne: “Oh Jane. Meet Alexander. He has been my best friend since we were in school.”

She looked at Alexander and Aurora. They give a smile to her and Daniel.

Jane: “Hi, I am Jane, and this is my son, Daniel.”

Daniel looked at Alexander and gave a smile. Alexander looked at his face and he seemed much alike with someone he knows. At that moment, he can’t get enough to look at Daniel's smile. Jane realizes Alexander is staring at Daniel.

Jane: “Is there something wrong, Mr. Alexander?”

Alexander: “Oh no, it just, feel something familiar. Cute.”

He smiled at Daniel.

Jane: “Oh okay.”

She looked at Daniel and asked him to greet Alexander.

Jane: “Daniel, greet uncle, Alexander.”

Daniel: “Hi, Uncle Alexander.”

Alexander: “Hi Daniel. You should call me Uncle Alex only next time since my name is long enough to call out for.”

Alex: “Hmmm, too hard to explain.”

Wayne: “Hey, it’s already been 5 years, bud and she’s already gone.”

Alex: “I know that, but still I cannot accept what my mother has done to her. I don’t think I can forgive her and the same for me also. I don’t think I can forgive myself for what happened to her”

Wayne: “What about the baby?”

Alex: “When I think about that, it is really too hard to explain. I can’t think straight about that, they said it is impossible for the baby to survive in that explosion. But sometimes I lie to myself believing that the baby was still alive”

Alex: “It is really my fault. I should trust her more than anyone.”

Wayne: “Did they close the case already?”

Alex: “They decide to close it since can’t find the evidence at the accident”

Wayne: “Weird”

Alex: “You also think the same right?”

Wayne: “We are living in the modern era, still police can’t find the evidence. Technology is more advance for them.”

Wayne: “What is actually happened to you, Jessica…”

Alex: “Hey, hey, hey… change the topic. I don’t think I can bear this topic for now”

Wayne: "Oh alright, sorry bud"

Alex: "Hey, tell me how you met her"

Wayne: "Who? Jane?"

Alex: "Who else your crush other than her..."

Wayne: "Hahahaha, alright just her"

Wayne: "Well, actually we met at the International Exhibition in Europe. Thank god! I did not skip that trip. Seriously...urghh"

Wayne: "At first, I did not want to go, but my mom always busy with marriage, then asked me to go to met her friend's daughter. So, don't know what to do, I fly to Europe. That's treating my headache and also some revenge"

Alex: "Yeah, you had an extreme mom."

Wayne: "Poor me right?"

Wayne: "I met Jane at the airport, that was my first time seeing her"

Wayne:"At that time, my mind was like, OMG who is that chick. Damn cute. Seriously"

Wayne: "It took me 5 seconds impressing about her, and took a second to break my heart."

Alex: "Why???"

Wayne: "There was a boy holding her hand, called her 'MOM' "

Wayne:"So I thought, ugh I fall to someone's wife. Damn me"

Alex: "Hahahahaha, serve you right, but I will also think just like you if I met her first time and does not know about Daniel. Because she does not look like a married woman"

Wayne: "That's true. But I need to accept the reality. She is a single mother"

Alex: "She's what? A single mother? Wow! How did you know she's a single mother?"/

Wayne: "I thought I am gonna make the story short, now you are asking. I told you it is a long story. So then, I went to the Hotel. And attend the Exhibition on next day. That exhibition is really impressive. I am gonna regret it if I skip that event. They show a variety of Intelligent Management systems, you could say, next few years, you just laid on the bed while making money."

Alex: "Wow! That's impressive"

Wayne: "You thought that right? Nah, I am proud of myself for attending that exhibition"

Wayne: "You know what really makes me impressive?"

Alex: "What is it?"

Wayne: "I saw Jane and Daniel at the exhibition"

Alex: "Then? What do you do?"

Wayne: "Well, you know President Lee, right. At that time, he's the boss of the company that I worked for now, but currently, his son holds that responsibility. He's the one that introduced me to Jane."

Alex: "The story becomes fun now"

They both laughed.

Wayne: "President Lee told me that Jane is staying in England before moving to her current living now to finish her study while taking care of her son"

Wayne: "So while exchanging our name and story, I asked her where is her husband. Then, suddenly President Lee stared at me. His expression at that time seems like wants to burn me alive."

Wayne: "I am thinking why he stares at me? Then, Jane realizes the awkward situation and tells me that she is a single mother with a smile on her face. Then I just feel like I already committed sins before tackling her. But at the same time, I am happy, cause I have chances. Haha"

Wayne:"Then, I apologize to her about that, she said that's okay. No problems."

Wayne: "Then, why would President Lee introduce her to me? Haha, cause she gonna work in our company. Yesss!"

Alex: "Your lucky star huh..."

Wayne: "Yeah, I really am. You should jealous of me"

Wayne: "I am confident okay. I told my mom when I back from Europe that she no needs to worry about marriage because I have a crush. She pulled my ear, cause leaving her friend's daughter having dinner alone. Well, what to do, I chase my loved one."

Alex: "Have your mom told you that you are the worst son?"

Wayne: "Many times..."

Alex: " Hmm, Are you sure that you have a feeling for her? You just met her at the exhibition and suddenly fell in love?"

Wayne: "Hey bud, that story was 3 years ago. And of course, working with her every day develop my feelings toward her"

Alex: "Really? Okay, just tell me, what you like about her?"

Wayne: " What I like huh? Hmmm... if I say everything?"

Alex: "Come on. Be specific."

Wayne: "Well let see, She raised a son alone, her son always needs her in every situation like make a decision, what to eat, anything. She raised Daniel at a young age while study. She scores all the subjects. I don't know how she manages her time while taking care of her son. To me, it was a tough job. Even I can't imagine myself taking her place"

Alex: "What her age at that time?"

Wayne: "Right now, she's 26. Yeah, 23 at that time when I first met her."

Alex: "Wow! Young mother huh... Sometimes, they need to be strong having someone to take care of.

Wayne: "I like her, seriously. Spending my 3 years with her, I quite satisfied. Seeing Daniel's growth, accompanied her taking Daniel after school. Having meals together like a family. I like that kind of moment. But it is hard for her to accept outsiders in her life. Still, I don't want to let go those chances."

Alex: "Wow! You talking like a man. Seriously... good luck bud. I am proud of you."

Wayne: "Thanks, man..."

They enjoy their drinks. While busy talking to each other Alex saw someone that familiar to him at the same cafe they had. His expression change. Wayne realized that.

Wayne: "Hey, what's wrong?

Alex: "I saw someone familiar"

Wayne: "Who"?

Wayne look at the same direction of Alex stare at, he saw a figure that familiar to him. He shocked, for a long time, he finally saw that guy today. He wakes and want to go that guy. But being hold by Alex.

Wayne: "Why"?

Alex: "Just sit and ignore him for now"

Wayne: "He is the reason for all of this!"

Alex: "I know, but we cant took rush action, since we dont have any evidence"

Wayne: "You know that you dont need any evidence to trust her."

Alex: "For my belief, yes. But that's not gonna work for law system. Any statement need concrete proof"

Alex: "Deep in my heart, I really want to kill him now. But I cant, I need to investigate more so that I know exactly who is involve in this case. I cant depend to police since they had things with my mom.

Wayne: "I hope you strong enough to face this"

Alex: "I need to for Jessica and my daughter sake"

Wayne knows well how much Alex loves Jessica. Eventhough he married to someone else.

Wayne: "Be honest, did you loved Claire after Jessica gone?"

Alex: "I married her without any feelings. We both being used by our family for wealth. I still cant believe how could they drugged our drinks to make sure Claire pregnant my child."

Wayne: "That's freak"

Alex: "She's crying heavily after the incident. She ask for apologize many times. I felt pathetic because cannot control my action, then I ask for marriage to save her. I know that she actually had a boyfriend. She disagree with her parent decision."

Wayne: "Oh man.... what kind of story did I heard from you...."

Alex: "Now, she's gone. Let me having an Aurora in my life. I really appreciate it eventhough we married without loved.

Wayne: "She passed away, due to what?"

Alex: "Bleeding too much when giving birth"

Wayne: "Sorry"

Alex: "It's okay, you dont have to worry, I just want to focus on Aurora now. That's all. She gonna have a better life than me. That's what I hoped."

Wayne: It's a good thing to hear that from you. You really strong man.
