((( JASMIN POV's )))
As I got off the plane, the breeze of my homeland greeted me.
I smiled.
I will finally see my family.
Although I should be happy, I felt anxious all along.
I was waiting for a taxi when suddenly…
"Let me help you."
When I turned to see who it was... It was him.
"Derick?"
"Why are you alone?" I smiled.
Didn't he knew?
"Papa," said the little girl who was tugging at his trouser.
Derick also had a suitcase so it meant…we both lived far from where we used to.
"Aby, daddy grew up here. Welcome back to us," he said.
Then he carried the girl.
"Aby," he told her and pointed at me, "That's your Auntie Jasmin. Jasmin, meet my daughter."
My eyes widened in surprise.
When the taxi has arrived.
"Can we share a ride?" he asked me.
"Oh, okay. You have a lot to tell me."
"You too." He leaned down to tell Aby, "Stay with Auntie Jasmin first as I put the luggage in the car."
She obediently nodded. One by one, he lifted the bags in.
I wasn't able to believe that he got a kid on his own. But it appeared he wasn't with his wife?
"Well, let's go in." Aby sat between us.
Did I get her name right?
"Dad…I'm so sleepy."
"Poor angel," I said.
Derick just smiled at me as he let Aby fell asleep on his chest.
It made me long for my own son.
For Rhio.
"Are you okay?" Derick suddenly asked me. I nodded.
"How old is she?"
"Almost five."
"Where's her mom?" Derick sighed.
"She chose to lose us in her life. You? Why are you alone?"
It seemed like he didn't like to talk about that part of his life so much.
"... I was left behind," I answered.
"Got left?"
"For five years. Worse... it also took me almost five years to remember everything."
Derick stared at me.
"I don't understand."
He really had no idea what happened.
"You've obviously been busy with your own life, Derick."
"Oh, yeah. I paid all my attention to my daughter. I ignored the news for that long. What happened?"
"Long story."
