Rosie tells Jasmine everything about her Papa, El Richo Elverne, her biological father, and how she could fall into El Richo's arm and create a seed that now becomes a beautiful flower.
Rosie also tells about the purpose behind El Richo's fake love. With a cruel and cold heart, he threw away Rosie and Jasmine because Jasmine could not die as a sacrifice of his wealth.
"Ah … I see." Jasmine's eyes are watery, and she rubs her reddish eyes slowly.
"Forgive me, Jasmine. Mama knows this truth is excruciating. You must be sad and disappointed." Rosie strokes her daughter's face, erasing her tears, which don't want to stop pouring.
"It's not Mama's fault. I'm sorry, Mama. Jasmine makes your life difficult." Jasmine sobs.
"No, Sweetheart. You are the most wonderful thing that ever happened in my life." Rosie hugs Jasmine.
They both hug each other tightly, crying sadly while sharing their feeling. Jasmine never expected that her father would be a cruel and inhumanity man. Deep in her heart, She decides she will grow into a strong and independent woman. She will make Rosie happy and proud and get revenge on her father, El Richo.
"Oh, Ya, Ma, Who is her name? my sister's name?" Jasmine gets up from Rosie's arms.
"If Mama is not wrong, her name is Ariana Elverne. Why?" Rosie asks, wanting to know the reason.
"Um... Nothing, I'm only curious."
Jasmine remembers the girl who asked for her name this noon. She is Ariana Elverne, daughter of El Richo Elverne. So, she is Jasmine's younger sister from a different mother.
[Tck, no wonder she wants to get closer with me.] Jasmine speaks in her mind.
"What are you thinking, Sweetheart!"
"No, nothing. I am just wondering why uncle Sanchez is not yet coming back home. I'm hungry." Jasmine stroked her belly.
"He'll be back soon. Take off your uniform, Sweetheart. Mama will wash and iron it first. You must look beautiful on your first day at school." Rosie says.
"OK," Jasmine hugs Rosie again, feeling the warmth in her mother's arm.
[Yes, I don't need Papa. Mama is enough. And I will make sure that Papa will regret had been throwing us both.] Jasmine promises in her heart.
— JUST MINE—
Different from the noisy atmosphere in Jasmine's house when Sanchez comes home. It is quiet at Elverne resident this afternoon. Only the sound of clicking when cutlery hits a ceramic plate when they enjoy dinner. Today, beef steak with mushroom sauce.
"I'm done." Ariana finishes her meal. She gets up while there are leftovers on the plate.
"What happens, Ariana? Are you sick? Why don't you finish your meal, Sweety?" Kyara asks, worrying about her daughter.
"No, Mom. Ariana is still stuffed." She answers and gets back to her room.
Ariana is overthinking and speculating about Jasmine, probably Jasmine, indeed her older sister. If it's true, that why? Why her father has the heart to abandon his daughter? But, Ariana does not dare speak up in her seat, afraid that El Richo will be angry if Ariana disturbs his comfort zone.
[Ah, better I stop thinking about her and focus on my life! Yes, I have my own life.] Ariana slams herself onto the soft and luxury bed.

In the dining room, Kyara is still speaking with El Richo. She tells her husband about the event that happened a few days ago, how Louise Aldebaran praised Ariana's beauty & kindness. He likes their daughter.
"Aren't they the same age?" El Richo asks while enjoying the apple slice that Kyara cut for him.
"Two years above, Ariana. He is in the third grade of high school right now," Kyara answers.
"Do you think that Ariana has a chance to be an Aldebaran?" El Richo asks happily.
"I think she can. She is a sweet, beautiful, and smart kid. No one doesn't love her." Kyara smiles warmly when talking about her daughter.
"You right, Honey. At the grand opening of our new hotel, make sure you send an invitation to Aldebaran. We must get closer to them." El Richo smirks happily.
"Yes, Honey." Kyara smiles too, no less happy.
The gap between Aldebaran's business and Elverne's is too far. But it looks like Ariana knows Louise and this man like her. So there is a chance for the two families to unite under a marriage bond. El Richo nods in happiness. It's okay to dream as high as the sky first, right?
