Dinda looked so cheerful, as if there was nothing to worry about, and Sebastian felt happy to see the child smile again. The smile seemed to light up his dark heart, making him feel closer to Dinda despite the distance between them. Sebastian remembered how meaningful that moment was and how much he wanted to protect Dinda's happiness. He was determined to always be there for her, even if it was just through a message or a call. With that thought, he closed his eyes for a moment, letting the beautiful memories fill his mind before finally falling asleep. Sebastian stared at the photo for a long time, looking at Dinda's bright eyes and her face full of happiness. However, his heart was soon filled with worry. Dinda needed his full attention, and although he felt happy to see his daughter at that moment, he also felt very guilty for leaving her. The guilt gnawed at his mind. He knew Dinda was going through a difficult time, and his presence meant a lot to her. Every second that pass

     Sebastian tried to push away his wandering thoughts, but the curiosity kept gnawing at him. With each passing second, the feeling that there was something deeper than just a professional relationship between them grew stronger.   He attempted to refocus on the meeting and the clients in front of him, but the image of Rendy being close to the woman and child continued to disrupt him, making him feel increasingly alienated from his surroundings.   After the meeting with the clients concluded, Sebastian excused himself to go to the restroom. However, instead of heading to the toilet, he took a detour that brought him closer to Rendy's table. From a distance, he heard their laughter, warm and full of joy.   The woman called out to Rendy in a very familiar tone, "Rendy, look at Rachel, she’s so cute eating

   Rachel finally cried softly against Rendy’s chest. “Why is that uncle being mean to Daddy?” she asked, her voice trembling.  Rendy comforted Rachel by stroking her back. “Uncle Sebastian isn’t mean, sweetheart. He’s just angry because of a misunderstanding. It’s okay now, alright?”  Sebastian felt his whole body freeze. He didn’t know what to say. His anger and the burning suspicion that had previously consumed him now evaporated, replaced by a hard-hitting realization. This little girl, Rachel, should not be a victim of whatever was happening between him and Rendy.  “I... I don’t know,” Sebastian murmured softly, his voice barely audible. “I didn’t know she—” His words hung in the air.  “Rendy!” a woman’s voice called, making Sebastia

    Sebastian tried to imagine how Rendy and Vina were feeling right now. They must be experiencing a mix of profound hope and fear. He felt compelled to be by their side, providing the support they needed amidst this chaos.   His mind was increasingly filled with questions. He recalled how strange Rendy's behavior had been all this time. Rendy suddenly appearing in Sara and Dinda's lives, always looking for ways to get close to them. And now, knowing that Rachel had just undergone a liver transplant, Sebastian couldn't ignore his suspicions.   Could it be...? No, that was too cruel. Yet, as he contemplated the situation, the question kept haunting him. Did Rendy really approach Sara because of Dinda? Because he knew Dinda could be a liver donor?   Sebastian felt a deep discomfort. He tried to dismiss the thought, but the mo

   Rendy looked shocked, but there was deep unease on his face. He knew the situation was worsening. Every word spoken by Sebastian only strengthened his resolve to protect Dinda, and Rendy felt cornered.   Sebastian stood firm, trying to contain his emotions. He did not want to be trapped in this game, but the deep pain and anger pushed him to take action. In his mind, there was only one goal: to save Dinda from potential harm.   They both fell silent, caught in a moment full of tension. Sebastian knew that the next step would determine not only their fates but also Dinda's future, which should not be affected by the selfish decisions of adults.   However, before Sebastian could continue, Rendy knelt before him. His usually confident face was now weak and desperate. Tears began to flow down his cheeks. "Sebastian, please... don’t
