Then when I was again at the dining room, then I was seeing that they were all already eating while I sneak to the window seeing that he didn't leave there.

"Hey, are you not going to eat now?" Daniella asks me and I turn back at her.

"Oh sorry, I mean I would love to...I guess I was just love seeing that we're like this, not on sadness and we're so happy to have a peace dinner."

"Yes that's awesome to hear Manu, so why did you go outside then?"

"I saw Simon was there and he wants to talk to me, but I really don't like it...I suddenly change my mind."

She suddenly her eyes turn wider. "What!"

"Yeah like he's too annoying, to be honest he's like same as Martin!"

"Seriously I started to doubt he was starting to be like him, I really got annoyed by him too."

"Ugh...I was so annoyed too!"

"What? Seriously you meet Simon?!" Sylvia exclaim after she heard it from us.

"Yeah like seriously I hated it when we meet each other now...then I know he got interest to me."

"What? I never expect Simon would get interest to you..."

"Who's Simon?" Tanja asks curious to Sylvia.

"Oh Darling, he was the cousin of your father...I know you never see him personal but he's the one who owns his own bar now."

While we are all having nice dinner, then I was going to the room to see if Tanja was okay and also I have to make sure she's okay so I sit in the bed next to her, when she didn't yet sleep.

"Do you feel better now?" I ask her then she quickly nodded. "Good if you are feeling better."

"Do you feel better too?"

"Of course Tanja especially you're here, now I realize I'm not alone. I'm so glad that your here if not I would be more miserable than ever."

"I'm glad to meet my real mother, who is cool and not very boring."

I chuckled. "How can you say I'm not boring?"

"Because you always told me what's real."

I chuckled and I kiss her to her forehead then she giggled back.

"You know I was so glad to have you, I thought I never had you in my entire life...but I also want to know what you always do when Sylvia was taking care of you."

"She always tells me a fairytale story about always has happy endings... but I love when you told me real things about the story."

"It's not bad to be in a fairytale world but sometimes we have to be realistic I mean in reality there's sad and happiness moments, not always that easily has happy endings or not always we see princess and prince are happily married, in reality it's not like that."

"I know it's like you told me that many times."

"Oh I know but don't worry now I'm always here to take care of you; I will always make you happy."

I leave her in her room when I will let her sleep now, then I was going to sit on the sofa while I have to relax myself and to smoke. But I was so irritated when I seeing Simon was there outside, he was waving his hand.

"Oh come on, now he wants to have attention for you!" Daniella giggled at me, when she was seeing it too.

"Oh really, I mean I was so annoyed when he's doing that. You see I really hate it in the first place, he thinks that he likes me!" I whisper at her, but she giggled again.

"Oh Manu I think he's acting obvious there, I know he was very interested to you...I don't really like what he's up to, he thinks that he has chance on you."

"Then I will show to him that he has no other chance to me!"

I was going outside of my house to meet with him, maybe to let him out there because I really hate it when he wants attention to me and Dani either.

"Now, what do you want?!" I ask him loudly when I was so very irritated to him already.

"I wanted to prove you that I can do anything and also don't be so angry about me." Simon explain it to me even I'm not totally convinced of that.

"Oh also that doesn't mean I could get easily interested next to the stupid relatives of Martin, also don't you dare to force me to just court me and you're like you feel like you're so special about it!"

"Take it easy, Manu!"

"I won't take that easy, I hated it when you bugged me...do you think I already liked you? Now you look like you dressed up and prepared yourself looking like a womanizer!"

Then I was immediately going back inside the house, I don't care anymore if he wants to bug me then I prove that I wasn't really interested to him.

"So, you are really stressed out with him now!" Daniella brag to me and I nodded, "Oh yes Dani, just ignore him...I know that he will stop doing that when I make him realize I don't want to."

"Well if I were you I would never get interest to him, also never will!"

"Yeah, even though he wasn't really look good when courting because he said so...and he was so ewwie!"

Daniella did laugh at me while I was going to smoke for now to have myself relaxed with my best friend. I know that wouldn't make me feel better to immediately find a date already, I think that won't be a good solution for that.

I was going to try about something else can do to make myself better.

///

In the bar, Daniella stayed there when she was trying to search about a safe dating site that can guarantee that she could find a decent date, she was alone there and afterwards someone sit next to her, she get a bit shock to notice that the guy she met, they meet again for the second time.

"Oh goodness, I couldn't believe we will meet again!" Daniella exclaimed when she didn't expect it.

"Oh me too, I didn't except." He nodded when he agree with her.

"Oh about the part when I was so angry about you, I'm really sorry about that...because that time I feel so stress but now I feel so relief at least I didn't get married to my fiancé, that was the good thing happen to me."

"Oh really, because last time that I saw you...you really look so stress and desperate that time."

She chuckled a bit. "Oh I remember that, yeah I was like seriously I hated it....now I don't know why he should do that, I always tried that I could...I always tried to have time for him, since my best friend had fertility problems with her ex-husband."

"Oh, know I realize it's really hard to move on...supposedly you were both getting married."

"Yes supposedly we do but it's because he ruined it, when I find out he's in love with another man!"

He suddenly spits when he's drinking in front of her, which he didn't mean to do it.

"What!"

She sighs. "Seriously now, you want me to me to have advance shower now, thank you!"

"I didn't expect he was in love with another guy."

"Well he does, that wasn't even surprising but the only surprising I find out he's in love with my best friend's ex-husband!"

"Oh I never expected that would end that way..."

"I realize they are in love each other, I only thought they are only friends for life."

6 years ago....

Daniella was going to visit Manu's place, so she approach that Martin and Sylvia are done having a conversation and notice that he suddenly went to the kitchen.

"Oh, you might be the mistress?" Daniella asks curiously but Sylvia shook her head. "What are you talking about; I'm going to be the surrogate mother."

She breathes with relief. "Oh goodness, I thought this could be the big nightmare for my best friend."

"That won't be, they are talking about I'm the one who are going to carry their own baby, because they are going to pay me high, so I agree with him."

"Then why he has to walkout in the kitchen?"

"Maybe he was expecting that could work, he was expecting that I'm finally carrying their child, now we finally had agreement."

"Oh that's good, maybe that would make him feel better and my best friend too."

"Yeah"

They both giggled together then Sylvia was starting to shake hands with her, since they didn't know each other yet.

"Anyway, I'm Sylvia!"

"I'm Daniella, I am best friend of Manuela...I usually call her Manu."

"Oh it's good to meet you Daniella anyway, I also want to tell you that Martin to contact me and have agreement about this, also I hope I could be a big help for them..."

"Me too, I was going to the kitchen."

She was going to the kitchen after she let it know to her already, then she becomes happy when she was seeing Mario was making already a coffee also when they meet each other, she give him a kiss to his lips.

"Aww...I know you would be here in the first place, I mean of course in the morning you always love drinking coffee!" Then she shouldered Mario when she giggled at him.

"I'm glad you always know that, Dani!" He chuckled and turn at her.

"Oh I know, I'm so lucky to have you in the first place...also I was hoping Manu was doing great at her work, I mean that would be great for her that she work on her husband's workplace."

"Oh you should know that I did suggest that."

She stops smiling when she only realizes that.

"What? You only suggest that, so that's why Manu was working."

"I mean that wasn't bad to suggest something good, you see it's good!"

"He's right, I really like when he suggest that to me, since we were always here just enjoying to be together, so I want to earn enough money when we had child together." Martin butts in and suddenly snuggle him when they both smiled together in front of her.

She raises a brow. "So, that means you really both think you always do what best idea at all, than hearing Manu's other idea."

"You don't have to tell me what to do, I mean her other ideas sometimes are lame...also I really think this is better."

"I hope that you already have child with Manu, I already talk to Sylvia. I hope that thing works with you both, I always wish to have child too, soon!"

"Oh I wish you could because Mario wants to have a son."

"Anyways I knew you already become best friends together, huh!"

The boys both giggled together and she only smirks. She was back to the reality after remembering to her own flashback.

"I never realize that when they become best friends for life, then they were both starting flirt each other." Daniella sighs and drink the glass of beer.

"Oh, I'm sorry terribly...I didn't expect that would happen." Julian muttered when he feel bad about what he realize.

"I know I also never expect would happen, because it's okay to me they become best friends, it's like Manu and me."

"I hope you could move on."

"I hope that was easy, but even I wasn't crying anymore...I still couldn't, I still remember him though."

Then he let out a sigh after their conversation was turning rough and then he still continues to browse something.

"Hey mister, anyways I wanted to know what you're doing."

"I was finding a date actually; I don't know if that's a good idea...I was already searching it in safe dating site that I can guarantee that they are finding dates there because they want to find their true love."

She snorts. "Come on, you couldn't find date in any dating site...also I don't want to guarantee myself to do that, because I really don't like it."

"That's why I have to do it more safely like I wanted to contact them in personal...to make sure they are willing to date with you."

"Oh I was going to say for me I don't like it, also it's not a good idea...because it's a very terrible idea."

"O-okay, I think your right...but I think about it..."

An hour later, when Simon was at Manu's place, he was keep knocking the door; he thought that no one was hearing it, he was keep knocking the door but someone immediately pull the door and it's Tanja.

"Hey, Is Manu here?" Simon asks immediately. "Who are you?" Tanja asks next when she was having doubts to him.

"I'm her friend but close friends like that. Right now I wanted to talk to her."

"She wasn't here..."

"Do you know what time she will come back?"

She shook her head. "I really don't know what time, but she told me that she will come back as possible, I don't know if I can count the time when she said 'as possible'."

"So, how about you, can you tell me your name?"

"My name is Tanja and I live here."

"I never met you before, but why do you live in her house then?"

"Because I'm her daughter..."

His eyes turn wider, he couldn't believe Manu has already daughter.

"Oh, why Manu would never told me that?! That means you are Martin's child."

She nodded. "You are definitely right, so I didn't expect you would get shock like that...I didn't know that you know my mother as well."

"Oh I know her....but could I come in."

She shook her head when she couldn't trust him to let him in inside the house.

"Why I couldn't come in? I was telling the truth that she also trust me in the first place."

"But I don't know you, also she told me I never let stranger in to the house or an acquaintance unless if she allow you to come here."

"Seriously...I mean she knows about me, I was like her special friend."

"I was going to call her right now."

She was trying to dial Manu and finally Manu answered.

"Mom, there is a guy here named Simon who wants to come to the house."

|Oh, I know him...he was the most irritating guy I know.|

"Oh then what do you want me to do with him?"

|You don't let him in to the house, he keeps irritating me that's why!|

"Mom, don't worry I understand that."

*Phone hang-up*

He shook his head for disbelief. "It isn't true that I'm annoying! I really want to get to know her better."

"Oh but she told me that you're the most annoying in the first place."

"No I'm not you should understand I'm the nice guy here!"

Then suddenly Tanja closes the door, he feel pissed when he couldn't come in.

///

I feel so pissed when Simon tried to come to my place, but at least I know what can Tanja do to him, since she was too smart and not dumb. I was trying to find my own decent date here, or to meet someone new to make myself happy.

Because still I don't feel so much enough to be happy...I don't know why I have to feel this, but there's always missing to me.

Until some guy shows up but the truth is I really don't know about him, I don't know if he would be looking nice, because I really want to know him better than instant date with strangers.

"Oh...so what do you want from me?" I let out a big sigh afterwards when I was starting to be annoyed with him. "I'm here supposedly to try myself cheer up, I feel lonely too." He muttered.

"I thought you're here because you want to caught some attention, I know some old strategies you see."

"No, I'm here because I want to talk to someone."

Really? I hope that he wasn't really.

"So why do you prefer to sit in front of me? Why not talk to the most interested girls over there? The girls sit in the stools and they also want to flirt with."

He shook his head in disbelief. "I really don't want to be with them...I'm not really happy too, I mean I was here because I was thinking my own problems...I can't get really get over with it."

He seems so serious about it; maybe I can trust him a little bit.

"So, what is seems to be your problem?"

"My own problem is my fiancée, I thought we stayed to be happy together but it didn't happen."

I raise a brow. "Why?"

"Because my fiancée is dead..."

I was so shock about what he said, like he was supposedly to be the lucky one to find his own true love but when I heard that his fiancée is dead, it's like it's tearing me apart.

It's so sad.

I gulp a beer and talk. "How did she die?"

"She died of car accident."

Oh, that was the most common tragic accident that I always heard, in movies even in TV series but even in reality it always does exist, but I feel sad for him. He is a lucky guy maybe because he has fiancée now and me I got married but become unhappy with Martin.

Even though I tried to save our relationship but now never mind about him, because I really hate him anymore, he doesn't care even he hurt my best friend.

He let out a sigh. "It really gives me a lot of pain, since now she died a year ago, I couldn't still move on. I realize I still couldn't forget her....I really loves her so much."

I was about to cry when it was so emotional about his story, when I couldn't resist to weep I was going to get my handkerchief to my pockets from my jacket. Then I loudly sniff and I sniff again when I feel like I'm having colds man!

Then he stops crying when he notices it.

"Oh, are you having colds too?" He asks me obviously I don't have, also I did give him a bad stare for his stupid bad guess.

"Do you really think I have?"

"But when you did become so emotional then?"

"I realize that you did feel that, because that's what I exactly feel when I did find out when your fiancée did died in the tragic accident, but I admit that it's too sad about it."

"Oh I was going to say that it's sad that she's gone like that suddenly...I couldn't believe your story is harsh same as me, well mine as usual about the cheating story, you know it hurts a lot too."

"Anyway, my name is Julian." Then he suddenly did shake hands with me after he introduces himself.

"Manu..."

"Oh it's nice to meet you..."

"Well you too, even I find out the most tragic thing in you, but I realize it's good to know about you have a nice relationship to someone, also you never cheated on her?"

He shook his head. "I never do that."

I was so jealous, I realize that he never do that in the first place, I know I have to believe this one...so probably he was not lying to me that I never believe he cheated then when he also almost cry saying how his fiancée died.

Oh wow, I wish Martin was like him. But it's not.

"Oh probably you are the lucky guy to meet the girl you love, because I have a ex-husband and I tried to give him a second chance, but he keeps cheating on me, until I could give him a son but I couldn't even I tried to, that's why I had a daughter by needing a surrogate mother, but I failed to give what he wants."

He let out a sigh. "You know Manu, I understand you...also the guy you meet he's stupid, because he based your love to have a child and not focus how you love each other....it's like he didn't care what you feel."

"I feel that your right about what you said, even I didn't mean to be bitter in all of the guys out there..."

"It's okay; you didn't mean to be bitter to all of them. You still feel pain from your ex-husband, right?"

I only nodded, when he's right. I still feel pain from Martin because I really didn't mean to be bitter to all the guys out there even Daniella, who's turning bitter next when her fiancé did cheated on her, I'm glad she didn't get married and find out about it early.

When we become silent for a second, I was gulping the beer before I could talk again to remove the silence.

"So, do you have a date now?" I ask him but he shook his head. "Are you sure you didn't find a new date? Because I know some guy's instinct so you can't fool me."

"Manu I'm not fooling you, but I did try to find date but I couldn't do it..."

"Why?"

"Probably I still think about her, also I don't really mostly like to date with strangers, probably that's the bad idea, but until you know them better...then that is much better."

"Don't forget to make sure that you're single!"

Then he giggle when I told him that, I wanted to remind him that we could date someone but to make sure that we're single because that's better than your making your own relationship to be more complicated to someone.

I don't know if I was going to be interested to know him better, but it's good thing that I did talk to someone, afterwards I was leaving in the bar but I couldn't believe Julian approach me again when I was supposedly leaving getting inside to my car.

"Also I forgot to say that it's good to meet you, Manu!" Julian smiled and I nodded. "It's also good that we met there, I wasn't there to flirt...because I don't know how exactly become happy I mean I really want that I can love someone else probably and to forget about Martin."

"Maybe that would be so hard, but I know that you deserve someone else and not him..."

"I have to go home, I will look after to my child, for now she was alone there...I will see if she's already asleep."

"Okay then good night."

Julian leave while I was going inside my car when I was driving to go home, then I was seeing that Simon was still there outside, I knew he wasn't going anywhere even Tanja didn't want him to come inside because I said so.

"You have to leave now!" I landed a kick to his shoulder that made him wake up, because he was literally sleeping on the rag, I couldn't even get it but glad he wakes up. "Hey Simon, I can recognize your whole face again, you should leave now!"

"Where have you been Manu?" He suddenly stood up.

"Now you really seriously need to know where I am, do you think I'm five years old? You don't care about where I'm going, we're not related anymore!"

"Why you never told me that you had a daughter?"

"Is that why you're here?"

"I only find out when Tanja told me that you're her mother."

"Now you know, so you have to get out of my face and my way!"

I pull him off but he suddenly grabs my arm but I covered my mouth when I was in shock when we glance but luckily he didn't kiss me to my lips.
