Karla smiled with satisfaction, this was her first time entering her apartment. For the past two years, Karla has only asked people to maintain the cleanliness of her apartment. At first, she wanted to stay here with her sister Amelia. But, Amelia hurried away and disappeared.
"Where are you, Amelia? I wish I hadn't been rude to you all the time."
Karla began to do monologues, her tears dripping imperceptibly. For more than a year without Amelia, it felt like something was missing from Karla's life.
Karla has moved her belongings in installments for a long time. So that when she wants to live in this apartment, she only has to bring her clothes. Worse, David was completely unaware of this.
Karla stared at a large family photo in her bedroom. The photo was taken two months before her parents died. In the photo, her parents are sitting side by side, while she and Amelia stand behind with a happy smile. What a wonderful and loving time. A period that will never come back again.
"Sis, if we have more sustenance, we will buy back this house.," asked Amelia when they sold their parents' house. At that time Karla nodded in agreement.
"We will be successful people, Mel. When that happens, I promise we will buy our house again and then stay back there."
Karla felt her heartache, she opened her suitcase and took out a certificate for their parents' house, which she managed to buy six months ago. At first, the owner of the house was not willing to sell the house again. However, Karla used the excuse of craving so that the owner of the house was willing to sell the house again even at the same price as when they sold it.
"Amelia, come home. Look, I've managed to buy our house back. Don't you miss the memories of our childhood at that house?" whispered Karla again. Right now her heart was completely crushed. She lost her younger sister, her daughter now only alone.

Karla turned, her cell phone vibrated and she saw David's name appear on the screen. She was very lazy to talk, but it was impossible to run forever. After all, if David couldn't find her anywhere, she would have come to her on set. Karla didn't want that to happen. Karla is a very professional person when working. Even though she was assisted by Amelia in the past, in every show, Karla never always clung to David. She knows when to be spoiled when to work.
"What? Do you still need me, David?" said Karla as she picked up the phone. There was David's snort on the other side. Karla could imagine that David would be pissed off right now.
"Where are you? Are you crazy?"
"Where I am none of your business, you are not my husband, David!"
"Do you have the heart to leave Davila?"
"he's your daughter, and Davila's life will be more secure if she comes with you. We don't have any ties, David. I deserve to be happy and also have a normal life as a woman."
"What do you want?!"
"You ask what I want? You know what I want, David. Besides, why are you so busy, you're already with Jasmine. I saw you kissing her lips so passionately in front of the elevator in your office earlier, that's amazing. So, you don't. need to bother me again. Please if you want to be with Jasmine, I don't mind at all. "
Karla immediately hung up on the phone, then turned it off and activated her new number, which David did not know.
Meanwhile, David slams his cellphone in annoyance, outside the room Davila's crying still sounds so loud. Even though Markonah and Tuti had tried to stop the little girl's crying.
Desperate, David called Patricia. Usually, Davila is calm when Patricia comes. David hoped that Patricia was still in Amelia's apartment, so she could come quickly to his apartment.
Fortunately, his wish was granted, Patricia was still in Amelia's apartment.
"Yes, I'll be right there, wait a minute."
Patricia took a deep breath and then looked at Amelia.
"Karla accidentally saw you, I mean saw when David kissed you. She was angry and decided to leave, even though at this time Davila is not feeling well. Do you want to come with me? Davila ... she's your nephew too, right, Mel?"
Amelia gasped in surprise. She did not think her sister could do such a cruel thing. Just leave a child when she is sick?
"I'm coming, I also want to meet my nephew," said Amelia firmly.
Even David could only gawk when he saw Patricia coming with Amelia.
"Are you coming, Yas?" asked David, amazed.
"I was with her earlier, so I ask her to join me here, you don't mind, right?"
David just shook his head. Patricia went straight to Davila's room and carried the tiny baby. However, Davila's tears did not go away subsided even though it wasn't as strong as before, but the baby was still crying. Davila is not too close to Karla, but if she is not feeling well, the baby only wants to be carried by Karla.
"Can I carry Davila?" Amelia asked Patricia. Patricia turned, "Can you?" she asked.
Patricia knows Amelia can take care of a baby well. However, considering the triangular relationship between David, Karla, and Amelia, Patricia is a little hesitant. But she gave Davila to Amelia.
And a miracle happened, Davila's crying subsided immediately when she was in Amelia's arms. Perhaps her sensitive mind recognized Amelia as her aunty.
"Good night to you, good night to me, now close your eyes and go to sleep. Good night sweetheart, sweet dream tonight, good night, I love you ...."
David's two blind eyes squinted at once, the song sung by Amelia was a song that was always sung by Karla and Amelia. Several times when David saw Karla and Amelia getting along they would sing the song. And Karla also often sang that song for Davila.
"Who are you?" asked David, glaring intently at Amelia.
"Me? I'm Jasmine ... who do you expect me to turn into, Mr. David?"
"How do you know that song?" he asked.
Amelia gasped, realizing her carelessness. She often sang that song to Davina. Tasya even recorded her voice while singing the song so that Davina could always hear her voice when she was about to sleep.
"Sorry, you mean the song I sang earlier for Davila? It's just an ordinary song, sir. I often sing that song for my nephew who is in Korea. Is there something wrong with that song? "Yes, then, sorry. Next time I'll just sing a lullaby," replied Amelia, still trying to calm down.
"Karla and her sister often sing the song together. If Davila is fussy Karla will also sing the song until she can calm down. Could it be that you hid Amelia?"
Amelia's laughter burst out suddenly, "Geez, sir, I don't know Amelia. How can you accuse me of hiding?. Do I look like a kidnapper?"
