"Anya, your mother is very happy that you came today. She got up early in the morning and tried on lots of clothes. But in the end, she wore this dress. Do you know why?" Galih said, opening a chat between them.

Anya noticed Indah's dress and recalled the time she learned fashion from Maria. Maria even often made special dresses for her.

​​

When she saw the dress that Indah wore, Anya felt that the style was a bit old-fashioned despite looking expensive.

"The dress is very beautiful. Is that custom made?" Anya replied.

Aiden drank his tea and said nothing. He could also see that the clothes Indah was wearing looked old-fashioned, but it seemed that Indah rarely used it, maybe only once or twice.

The clothes still looked new.

"I wore this dress the day I lost you," Indah said, crying.

Seeing her crying so sadly, Anya's eyes felt a little hot. But she couldn't cry.

She opened her bag to take a tissue and gave it to her. "That dress is very nice. You look so beautiful."

Indah accepted the tissue and wiped her tears. "Anya, I'm really sorry. I didn't know you were our daughter. Your sister... She is…"

"She is her own person, and you are you. What she did has nothing to do with you two," Anya said in a low voice.

Galih and Indah were good people.

What Keara did was not their responsibility. They had tried many times to educate her, but Keara didn't want to listen to them. They even broke their relationship with Keara.

But at the end of the day, Keara was still his daughter. When she needed his help, Galih couldn't just ignore her.

"Anya, before going home, would you like to have lunch with us first? Your mother wants to have lunch with her daughter," Galih asked.

Anya looks a little awkward. Even though she knows that Galih and Indah were her parents, she still felt like sharing a table with them would be very difficult.

The atmosphere would definitely be very awkward.

Aiden's hand touched Anya's shoulder gently as he said, "There are no good restaurants in this area. And the return journey is quite far. Our babies need to eat."

Anya nodded obediently. "Alright then. Sorry to trouble you."

"It's not a bother. We are very happy instead."

During lunch, Aiden said in a low voice, "A week ago, Anya went to the hospital to have her womb checked. We met Keara there. She told us that her mother was in this hospital. I don't know how Keara found out that Anya is your daughter."

Indah stared at Galih. "Didn't you say the DNA test result showed that Anya was not our daughter? How did Keara know?"

"Two years ago, Keara changed Anya's DNA test results and made my sister-in-law think that Anya was her daughter. I don't know whether you know it or not," Aiden looked at Galih without any guilt even though he was uncovering the crime of his eldest daughter in front of his face.

Galih took a deep breath. "That kid! Maybe she has known for a long time that Anya is our daughter!"

"So, my brother also knew about it? The two of them worked together to trick me and want to see my health getting worse? They both hid everything so I'd never get to see my daughter? I've spent my whole life helping my family. I also have to lose my daughter. Why do they treat me like this?" Indah said while crying.

"Don't be sad. Even though Aiden and I had to be separated for two years because of that problem, the important thing is that we are back together now. And we can finally meet at last. I hope you take care of your health. I am currently pregnant with twins and I will give birth in December. I hope you can help me to look after these children along with my mother." Anya awkwardly held Indah's hand with a smile.

She heard that Indah refused to undergo surgery because she had given up and did not want to live again after learning that her daughter had died.

Even though Anya didn't have any feelings for the two people in front of her, she couldn't erase the fact that they were her real parents. At least, Anya wanted to give hope for Indah to survive.

"I…" Indah's voice was trembling a little.

"Of course we will help you to take care of your child. I will take good care of your mother so that she can recover soon," Galih stroked Indah's hand. "Indah, you can't refuse our daughter's request. She asked for your help to take care of our grandchildren."

"Anya, Diana has raised you very well. When my health improves, I will come and thank her in person. Don't worry about me. I will take care of my health so that I can be with my grandchildren later," Indah's eyes sparkled with new hope.

Anya's arrival in her life made her wish for a speedy recovery.

After lunch, Anya and Indah sat together chatting. Meanwhile, Aiden invited Galih to come out of the room to discuss an important issue.

Aiden told about Anya's examination last week, when Keara put a bloody knife in the examination room. He told everything to Galih, including the fact that Keara intended to harm Anya.

"Keara kept trying to harm Anya and Tony helped her. They only have one goal— to make a profit. Over the years, your family has spent a lot of money and resources looking for your daughter. But have you ever thought why you can't find Anya? More than 20 years ago, Fany set fire to an orphanage, hoping that Anya would be one of the children. She hopes that Anya will die. Fortunately, no one has known Anya for years. If not, maybe she won't be able to survive until now."

Aiden took a deep breath as he recounted it. "These are all your family matters. I shouldn't have meddled. But I won't let Anya be in danger."

"My brother-in-law is too cruel. Indah is also his sister, but why did he treat her like this? Keara turned just as cruel as him, she even tried to hurt her own sister. Aiden, don't worry. I know what I have to do," Galih felt very disappointed with Keara and Tony's actions. He felt so angry when he thought about what they did to prevent Anya from returning to their family.

Keara was his daughter, but Anya was also his daughter.

After her sister's death, Indah agreed to marry Galih and become Keara's stepmother.

Over the years, she had always helped the Srijaya Family. But her family prevented her from finding her biological daughter.

They never intended to repay all of Indah's kindness all this time.

If Aiden didn't know about Indah's worsening condition, he would never have brought Anya to meet them. Maybe Indah wouldn't be able to meet her daughter until she died.

After all, Anya's safety and happiness were of the utmost importance for Aiden.

But in the end, Aiden wanted Anya to meet her mother one last time because he loved her so much.

"I'm sorry for changing the result of the DNA test that you guys did. Anya is very sensitive about family. I don't want her to donate her liver. At that time, she was pregnant and I didn't want her to give up the child in her womb. I hope you can understand," Aiden sincerely apologized to Galih.
