Lita looks busy serving some food on the dining table. She, who has really good skill in cooking and likes the kitchen the most, doesn't make it difficult for Lita to serve up a very appetizing dish like this.

Lita who was about to go upstairs to call Daniel, stopped when she saw the man who looked so neat and handsome, of course. 'Uncle Daniel, where are you going at this time of night?'

Daniel's eyes looked at the dining table which was not far from the stairs. With a quick movement, Daniel descended the stairs.

"Lita, you made all this?" Lita nodded slightly.

Daniel was silent for a moment. Even though he had known Lita for a long time. However, he doesn't know the fact that Lita can cook. As far as Daniel knows, Lita is crazy about books and often locks herself in her room.

"Come on, eat first, Uncle."

Daniel was seen biting his lip. He is currently in a hurry because he has an appointment with such a special person. But, he also didn't have the heart for Lita, who had worked so hard to cook dinner like this.

'Is Uncle Daniel not on the level with this food I made?' Lita lowered her head. There was a feeling of disappointment that crept up in her heart.

'OK. A quick bite is fine, isn't it?' Daniel sat in front of Lita.

"Yes. I am starving."

Lita lifted her face. She smiled faintly. Deftly, Lita brought food for her husband. Lita knows very well what foods Daniel likes as well as what he doesn't like.

"Thank you," said Daniel when Lita put down the plate that was already filled with the food.

Daniel's eyebrows knit together perfectly. 'All these foods are my favorites. How did Lita know? Is this just a coincidence?'

Daniel shook his head a little. He doesn't care about everything. However, he had to quickly finish all this food. If not, he was afraid that Febby would sulk and be angry with him because he was late.

'Geez. It tastes so good! It's almost similar to mother's cooking.'

Daniel glanced at Lita who looked focused on eating her food. If Daniel pays attention, Lita looks like a middle schooler because she is so cute. Not to mention, Lita has such a tiny body. Daniel admits that Lita has a very beautiful face like Angela. Maybe, because Lita is Angela's cousin who incidentally is Daniel's older sister and first love.

'When I see her face, I always think of Angela.'

It was all too soon, like it's only been fifteen minutes. There was no food left on the table. Either because he was hungry or because he was hooked. Daniel was the one who spent it all. Daniel was just amazed by himself.

"Good grief!" shouted Daniel.

He looked frantically looking at his watch which was already half past nine in the evening.

"Lita. I'll say goodbye first." Daniel waved to Lita and immediately ran.

'Gosh, Daniel. Why are you being misled like this?' he cursed in his heart.

Lita, who was still chewing her food, could only watch Daniel leave with an indescribable look. Until a moment later, she began to sob a little. To be honest, she already knew who her husband was going to meet. While eating earlier, his eyes accidentally caught a short message asking where her husband was. Not to mention, Lita is a coward. She couldn't be left alone like this. Lita has had trauma in the past.

Lita's cell phone suddenly rang. With a little shaking, Lita took her cell phone. "Lita."

"What's wrong ?" wipe her tears.

"Can I ask you a favor?"

"What is it?"

"Please come to the address I sent later, okay? Get a small box located in the drawer. I've already ordered a taxi. It will come soon."

"But,"

Tuutt….

The phone call ended.

"Alright, I better hurry. It's better than having to stay home alone." Lita rushed up the stairs and left the remaining food.

***

Lita is standing in a house that looks so big and majestic just like her parents' house. 'Why did Uncle Daniel tell me to come here? So what box is this?'

Lita looked at the small box that had been wrapped in such a way. Lita was so curious but didn't want to be presumptuous either.

With slow steps, Lita began to enter the unlocked house. It seemed it was intentional considering she was about to arrive.

'The interior is so elegant.' Lita was so amazed.

"Sister Lita, Mr. Daniel's nephew isn't it?" said a woman who Lita believed to be a maid in this house.

"Nephew?"

"Yes. Earlier, Mr. Daniel ordered that I would take things from his nephew.”

"Oh yes. This is Uncle Daniel's stuff." Handed the small box to the maid.

"Ma'am, may I ask a question?"

"Go on, Sist, what's wrong?" said the waiter kindly.

"Where is Uncle Daniel?" asked Lita carefully.

"Oh, that. Mr. Daniel is in the room with Miss Febby, my employer," he explained.

Lita blinked her eyes. "Does Uncle Daniel often visit here?"

"Not really. They met more often at the hotel. As far as I know, they will soon be married. Don't you know? Aren't you his little nephew?”

"Oh yes. Uncle Daniel hasn't told me yet. Then I'll say goodbye first." Lita smiled politely.

"Yes sweety, be careful."

The maid seemed so stunned by the beautiful and cute face that Lita had. "The girl is still in middle school."

***

Lita is currently sobbing in a quiet street near the house she just entered. Lita did not think that Daniel already had a lover and was almost married. Her heart hurt.

What kind of marriage is this? Isn't a wedding supposed to be as beautiful as in the movies? It was only a day before he got married. Lita has felt such an extraordinary heartache like this.

“Mama, Papa. I want to go home. I don't want to live with Uncle Daniel. He's evil!”

Lita continued to cry in the silence of the night. Until raindrops began to wet the earth and hit her face right. She ignored all that. If it rains just a little. Lita will have a fever.

On the other hand, for some reason, his heart wasn't calm like this. Outside it was raining very hard.

'Lita didn't get rained on, did she?'

Febby woke up from her sleep. "Honey, what are you doing? You're not asleep?" Febby clings to Daniel's body.

"I was thinking about my nephew who came here to deliver something for me."

"That's enough. Don't worry too much. She must be fine.”

"It's raining hard outside. She is very vulnerable to rain."

"Cupp." Febby kissed Daniel's lips gently.

"Let's sleep now," said Febby softly. Daniel finally nodded.

'I hope Lita is okay.'
