It's hard for him to explain. His breath was heavy and long.

It seems Dahlia understands the real situation. "You still love Rania, right?"

The man was silent, he nodded weakly. "Always, Ma. Rian never forgets Rania. She is the first and last love."

"You want to marry, mama's boy?"

"Really, that's Rina's only hope." His voice trembled, the man restrained himself.

"Hahh ... you have to be patient, Rian. Rania is still in a difficult situation to organize her heart," said Dahlia stroking Rian's arm.

"Of course Rian will be patient, Ma. It's just that Rania always avoids. What's the reason. Does Rania really don't love me anymore?"

"Still Rian. Mama can see it from the look in her eyes. I'm sure Rania still has feelings for you. Maybe it's still hard for her to say. Be patient, when the time comes, Rania will definitely tell you the reason."

A mother's instinct is the best in judging her children. After all, Dahlia knows what Rania is feeling. It's just that he's been silent all this time, preferring to give up all the paths that Rania chose herself. He just needs to be an advisor and encouragement to the children.

"Yes, Ma. Rian will definitely wait."

On the other hand, in the room. Rania quietly leaned against the head of the bed. His gaze was straight ahead, staring at the mirror blankly.

He remembered all of Rian's words, making Rania dumbfounded. I don't know if he should refuse or let it go. The image of her ex-husband came back to her mind. The hurtful words he had heard from the phone call came back to him.

"Remember this carefully, if you want to part with me, then whatever happens I will not be responsible."

"Including… your responsibility to your daughter Kanaya!" Rania raised her voice.

"Hugh… my daughter? Are you sure she's my daughter?"

"What are you saying sir!"

"Looking at your past behavior, I'm not sure that he's my son," his tone sounded mocking.

"You are outrageous, sir!" loud screams rang out in the family room. "Your heart is made of gold! How dare you say that!"

"Aahhh… never mind… I remind you, if you want me to sign this letter, then don't you ever have anything to do with any man. I'll keep an eye on you, if you get married or have a lover, I'll take your daughter by force!" The threat sounded loud in Rania's ears.

Then he realized, his mind was already filled with painful images of the past. Immediately, tears welled up in his eyes. Whether consciously or not, Rania burst into tears.

Rania suddenly got up, she grabbed the glass on the nightstand next to the bed. Full of anger, Rania threw at the glass.

"Aaarrgghhh..."

The glass shattered against the wall. His face turned deathly pale, his body trembled. His hands clenched into fists, his mind blank, staring at his own reflection. Then his body fell to his knees. Rania again experienced her traumatic condition.

The bedroom door swung open. Rian who heard the screams immediately ran to the woman in the room.

Rian looked panicked, confused by the current situation. He grabbed Rania's arm and shook her body.

“Heeiii… Ra, what are you doing?!” Seeing Rania's pale face with a blank stare, she panicked. Rania didn't respond at all.

"Rania, wake up… hey… wake up!” Call him with a little shout.

Dahlia, Allan and Allen also ran up to them. Rania was already flooded with tears. Dahlia panicked, as did Allan and Allen.

"Rian… what happened!" Mom asked panicked.

"Rian… don't know ma, suddenly Rania became like this!"

Mama Lia began to feel weak, her legs seemed unable to support her weight. Allan and Allen who were on standby immediately grabbed their mama's body. Dahlia began to think. The only reason why Rania can be like this, must be because she remembers her past.

"Before Rania entered the room, what did you say? You asked about her past?" Dahlia asked, she tried to calm down.

Rian stunned, confused what to say? He did ask that, but that was yesterday. Then why is this woman being weird now? Did he misspoke?

"No, Ma, I just asked him to accept me as his future husband," Rian answered confidently. Because that's all he asked. Rian then grabbed both of Rania's hands, because those hands had been squeezing her thighs ever since.

Without thinking anymore. Dahlia told Rian to lift her daughter onto the bed. Rian who was frightened immediately carried the woman's body. Then lay down slowly. Luckily Clara slept in her grandmother's room.

"Allan … get a glass of water. Allen get your sister's medicine in the desk drawer over there," Dahlia ordered.

The two twin brothers continued to move to carry out their mother's orders. Rian, who was confused, saw that everyone was alert in a situation like this.

'What is this? Is Rania sick?' he thought anxiously.

The middle-aged woman then sat on the edge of the bed next to her daughter. Rian stood still, not knowing what to do. His gaze continued to focus on Rania's eyes, which seemed to see nothing, empty. The woman's gaze was still directly facing the ceiling. His body was still shaking. His hands clenched tightly.

Immediately, Rian burst into tears seeing Rania's apprehensive condition. His hands were clenched into fists, his eyes were burning red. His legs began to wobble, he tried as hard as he could to stay upright.

Allan and Allen, who came almost at the same time, immediately handed over the medicine and water that their mother had asked for.

"Len… help your sister wake up."

Dahlia immediately gave Rania the medicine. Allan, who realized Rian's condition, who was also depressed, brought the man to his senses.

"Bro … Rian." he called whispering.

Rian glanced at him for a moment, his body seemed to be unable to withstand the weight anymore, finally wanting to collapse as well. Allan swiftly supported the body, because it was too heavy he had a little trouble. Then Allen helped him quickly. The twins saw the tears running down the sturdy man's cheeks.

"You'd better sit down first," Allan asked him.

Then the man followed Allen who led him to sit on the sofa in the room. Allen returned to help his mother. Allan returned to the kitchen to get water for Rian. A few moments later he came back with a glass of water.

"Here, drink first."

Allan handed the water into Rian's hand. The man accepted and immediately drank it. When he had had enough, he returned the glass to Allan.

"And… why did your sister become like that?" asked Rian then.

"It's a long story, Sis, we should make sure that Rania's condition is first. Sis Ra hasn't had a relapse like this in a long time. Over the past few years, Sister has seemed to be getting better."

The man nodded in approval. His curiosity is getting bigger. Rania can be like this, definitely not because of ordinary problems. This must have been a bad, very bad thing.
