"I know that you don't sleep. But you don't need to answer, but you just need to listen. Now, I've decided to follow your request! After our agreement, I will release you". Said Julian expressionlessly. 

Hear what Julian said. Qiara immediately thought of her Mama. Maybe, if Julian had said that yesterday, she'd have fun and then party. But it's a shame because things have turned around, where she is the one who now has to try to survive being Julian's wife according to her mother's wishes. 

Qiara, who was pretending to be sleeping, shed tears from behind her closed eyes. Because she had just intended to learn to accept her marriage, she saw Julian embraced by another beautiful girl. 

Now Julian wants to let it go. Her heart immediately hurt as she clenched her fists. 

"Obviously you say that! As you already have another woman". Qiara replied curtly.

"So, what if there is another woman close to me? Don't you care about me?". Julian asked, leaning back.

"I don't want to talk to you! You better get out of Mama's room right now!". Qiara shouted as she woke up from her sleep and looked at Julian sarcastically.

"OK!". Without saying anything, Julian just walked away. He didn't really know Qiara. However, he was quite familiar with the character of the little girl.

"Oh yeah, don't you want to go back to the hospital tonight?". Asked Julian again before he closed the door.

"I want to sleep". Qiara replied as she covered herself with a blanket. 

"Okay". Said Julian. After that he closed the door. Just then he looked at Vania's room which had not been occupied for a long time, because Vania had to fulfill her Papa's request to live with her. 

"Whose room is it? Could it be Vania's room?". Julian thought as he stepped closer to the room. 

Not long after that, he managed to open the door because the room had never been locked. 

While in that room. There is a deep longing surfaced in Julian's heart when he saw a beautiful and elegant figure, smiling beautifully through her longest photo on a neat bed with cream colored sheets according to Vania's favorite. 

The room decoration was very simple but comfortable. 

"Vania .... I miss you". Said Julian, stroking the photo on the bedside table. 

Instantly, Julian remembered the sweet story he had lived from high school with Vania. He did not expect that the years of togetherness with Vania would end without a definite end.

"I can't wait to be your wife, accompany you in joy and sorrow. Looking at you after I open my eyes in the morning. I will continue to learn to be the best wife for you". Vania's words always disturb his sleep. She said it the day before the deadly accident. 

"Vania ... Why are you so mean to me? You left me and then inherited such a heavy thing. Is this your way to keep me from being with other women? Is that so?" Julian asked, shedding tears when he kissed Vania's photo. He was like a lunatic who kept asking questions about inanimate objects. 

Just then, his cellphone rang which turned out to be from his mother. He immediately shifted the green icon after wiping the tears on his clean cheeks with a firm face line that could shatter the hearts of women who saw him.

"Hello Mama?". said Julian first. 

"Hello dear ... Where are you? How about your wife?". Sarah asked.

"She's getting better. Maybe, we'll come tomorrow morning". Julian replied in a weak tone. 

"Oh great. But, why is your voice so weak? Is there something wrong?". Sarah asked softly. 

"I just miss Vania". Julian answered honestly. 

"Mama knows that Vania will not be easily replaced by anyone in your heart. But you must be able to save it in the other part of your heart, and try to keep Qiara, who is legally your wife, in the deepest part of your heart. Unfortunately, sometimes we can't force everything. going according to our expectations. However, there are times when we are required to love what has happened, even though it's hard, but that's the key to being happy ". It was clear that Sarah was trying to give the best advice to her son.

"I'll try Ma. But if Julian fails to do that. So, Julian begs Mama to support whatever Julian will decide".

"Whatever it is, Mama will support it while it's good for you. Oh yes, your naughty brother seems to want to go back home. Because he sent a message to Mama if your papa threatened him. If he wasn't home when Papa came back, then he would have crossed out the list of heirs ". Sarah said after taking a deep breath. 

"Just let him come back because he really had to do that after a year of choosing to leave home because Papa was against his dream of becoming a singer. So, Mama just greeted him well without asking anything or scolding him. Oh yes, when will Papa come back?". Asked Julian after giving advice to his Mama about his only younger brother.

"Yes, Mama will not do that. And, Papa will be home in two days because your papa has decided to run for prime minister in town A. So, he asked you to take care of all things about the candidacy". Sarah replied.

"Okay. We'll talk about this after Papa arrives home. Then, I'll close first because I want to rest!". Julian said politely.

"All right, dear! Mama will also sleep now because tomorrow morning you have to go back to City A to welcome Papa, who has been away for a long time for his state duties, which makes Mama always miss him. Don't be late tomorrow."

"Of course, we will come early in the morning to replace Mama. Once again, thank you because Mama wants to replace us to accompany my mother-in-law". Said Julian.

"Yes. Greetings to Qiara! Mama is closed now". Sarah said with a smile. 

After hanging up the phone, Julian lay down on Vania's bed. He tried to close his eyes while hugging Vania's photo.

"Honey! Do you see me up there? Now, I'm lying on your bed. I can feel your presence beside me. Therefore, come even if only in a dream to make up for the longing in my heart". Said Julian with a smile.

Not long after that, he fell asleep without taking off his shirt. 

The next morning. 

After finishing showering and putting on her clothes.. Qiara came out of her mother's room and then looked for Julian, who she thought was sleeping in her room.
