Aneta kissed Gabriel deeply on the forehead, and Gabriel signaled with his eyes to immediately blow out the large white candle that he bought on sale at the stall near their rent.

Aneta was moved and immediately blew out the candle, and immediately she realized what was on the plate, wasn't it her favorite brownie, where did Gabriel buy a cake that he thought was expensive, while all this time Gabriel was always given the right pocket money by Aneta.

"Briel ... where did you get this cake, dear?"

Instead of answering, Gabriel pulled his mother's hand to sit on the mat in the living room and family room.

Gabriel then took a spoon and spooned a bite of the cake into Aneta's mouth, for a moment he remembered Reksa, the cake was very similar to Reksa's gift this afternoon.

"Please answer, Briel .... "

Gabriel put down the spoon and bowed his head.

"Gabriel didn't steal, did he?" asked Aneta, impatient for Gabriel's answer.

"Are you going to scold Gabriel?" asked Gabriel softly.

"So is it true that Gabriel stole?" asked Aneta again, her tone rising an octave.

"No Mom... really Briel didn't steal, there was a kind uncle who bought this cake for Mom ... '' Gabriel's voice began to tremble with fear of his mother's anger.

"Didn't you often say, don't talk to strangers we don't know, Briel.

"But that uncle already asked Briel to meet him, Mom..."

"Gosh... yes dear, but he's still a stranger.

Briel lowered her head, although she wanted to refute her mother's words, but she decided against it when she heard sobs from her mother's mouth.

"Sorry Mom, Briel promises not to do that again.

Aneta hugged her only son.
In this world Gabriel was the only treasure she had, she could never imagine if Gabriel disappeared or something happened to her son, because Gabriel was the only thing that made Aneta strong in life.

"Okay Briel, now tell Mom about the kind Om that Briel said earlier."

While enjoying the brownies given by her son, Aneta listened to every detail told by Gabriel, and from what Gabriel told her, Aneta could already guess that the kind man was probably Reksa, because his characteristics were exactly the same as Reksa.

Aneta began to daydream and did not focus on Gabriel's story, because her mind wandered to think about her fate later when Reksa knew the truth about her and Gabriel, whether in the future she would be separated from Gabriel, she really could never think about it.

Aneta began to blame herself, if only she didn't move to this city again, then she would never meet Reksa again and everything related to her past, because this is the city she used to live in, before things became chaotic because of her own stupidity.

***

Today is Sunday, Aneta has a day off from work and Gabriel has a day off from school. Actually today at Gabriel's school there are extracurricular activities, but Gabriel deliberately asked permission not to participate because he wanted to accompany his mother on this holiday.

On the first day of his mother's twenty-eight years of age, he began to have thoughts of finding his mother a good companion and future father for their future.

Indeed, Gabriel's thinking is very different from other children his age, and that is the difference between a child who can be said to be broken home and other children, he thinks so much about his mother because since childhood he has only known Aneta as a mother and father for him, and he really loves Aneta.

This morning as usual his mother cooked in the kitchen with makeshift ingredients, but fortunately Gabriel is not the type of child who chooses when it comes to eating, he always eats whatever Aneta cooks for him, even though sometimes it's just one egg mixed with half a plastic flour and then fried, he is very grateful because the side dish can be shared with his mother, that's Gabriel, Aneta is clearly very lucky to have a child like him.

Actually, Aneta could buy Gabriel's favorite fried chicken every day, but she couldn't do that because a little less, she could pay the down payment for a minimalist house in the housing complex near Gabriel's school, because as a parent, she also wanted to give Gabriel a decent place to live, even though she had to pay in installments but she thought it would be easy as long as she could keep working at the company where she worked now, because there the salary was quite large for an Aneta.

"Is Mama's work at the office going well?" asked Gabriel who was sitting on the mat while waiting for his mother to get breakfast for him.

Aneta smiled at her handsome son for a moment, she was touched that Gabriel still had time to be that understanding of her.

She took some rice and eggs and went to where Gabriel sat watching his mother's every move.

Aneta pinched Gabriel's nose anxiously, she did not expect the child she never wanted to be present in her life to bring happiness to Aneta's life.

"Eat first, Briel...did you say you were going to the park?!!!" Aneta gently rubbed Gabriel's head.

"Really Ma...?" Aneta nodded and smiled widely.

"Yeay…" Gabriel kissed his mother all over her face, for him a walk even if it was only to the park was a happiness for Gabriel because he rarely even almost never felt the name of a walk.

Gabriel immediately finished the breakfast that his mother had made.

While Aneta was getting ready in the room, there came a man wearing a black shirt and jeans who knocked on the door of Aneta's rented house which was slightly open, because he thought the door was unlocked and no one answered the knock on the door from him, he opened the door slowly and tried to see if there was anyone inside or not.
