Episode 16

Meisya carefully considered her older sister's opinion regarding Bu Laras' offer. However, being separated from her beloved child for three months would not be an easy task for the young mother.

She had a sleepless night, contemplating the most appropriate decision for her life after this. Becoming a renowned designer would certainly change her future with Zio and Zoey.

This morning, Meisya decided to talk directly to Zio and Zoey and listen to their opinions about her departure to Paris.

"Zio and Zoey, please listen to Mama for a moment!" Meisya requested when the two children were busy playing with their toys.

"Yes, Mommy," Zoey's voice sounded gentle and sweet. The child responded to her mother's call while keeping her eyes on the Barbie doll in her hands.

Meanwhile, Zio did not respond at all, but his ears were completely focused on what their mother would say.

"If Mommy has to work for a long time, would you give Mommy permission?" Meisya asked, trying not to shock her children with her intentions to pursue her dream.

Hearing that their mother was about to leave them, Zio and Zoey looked at Meisya together, as if asking for a more detailed explanation from the woman who gave birth to them.

"Where is Mommy going?" Zoey asked, her face showing sadness.

As a child who loved her mother very much, Zoey would certainly feel sad if she had to be separated from Meisya, especially for a long time. Until now, they had never been apart from each other, except when Meisya was working.

"Mommy has a job making clothes, Sweetie. It's only for three months, and you're already grown up, right? Can Mommy stay?" Meisya replied while gently caressing Zoey's adorable chubby face.

Zio, who had been listening all this time, now started to speak. "Is Mommy going to a foreign country?" the normally aloof child asked.

Apparently, Zio understood very well that Meisya was going far away from him. The handsome boy could already guess correctly that what his mother was saying with a serious expression meant going to a very distant place, like abroad.

Meisya once again sighed heavily. She knew very well that Zio, her son, was incredibly smart and could immediately guess correctly. However, Meisya also had to provide an explanation to Zio according to his age.

"Mommy does have an offer to study abroad, Sweetie. But if you don't give permission, Mommy won't go because you are the most valuable to Mommy."

Meisya's tender gaze at her two beloved children succeeded in touching them. Suddenly, Zio took Zoey with him a little away from Meisya. Apparently, the two children were discussing and making a decision together, whether they wanted to be left behind or not.

"Why, Zio?" Zoey asked after Zio released his grip on her arm.

"Zoey, do you like it when Mommy leaves?" the handsome boy asked back.

Zoey seemed to pout, then furrowed her brow as if thinking hard. "I like Mommy. But it's sad if Mommy becomes sad later. Besides, I'm already big. I don't pee in my pants anymore, so it's okay if Mommy leaves," Zoey replied, vigorously shaking her head.

The little girl seemed to be trying to be mature and understand the needs of adults. Although it meant she would no longer sleep with her mother, Zoey was very confident that she would be fine.

"That's good then, if that's the case, let Mommy go. Who knows, Mommy can have a fun time by herself. It's a pity that Mommy is still young, but she has to take care of us who don't have a Daddy," Zio explained.

Unintentionally, Meisya overheard the conversation between her children. Although they were still very young, living without a father figure had evidently left a deep wound in their hearts.

"Forgive Mommy, my darlings. Mommy thought she was enough for both of you all this time," Meisya murmured while wiping the tears that fell from her eyes.

"If one day, fate brings them face to face with their father. Will you be honest with them, Meisya?"
