Since it was already very noon and it was already lunch time, Dilla decided to take Rio to lunch outside. Dilla was very satisfied to see Rio can play with other children so Rio did not look as bad as this morning again. Rio even had a chance to laugh with those two children. Dilla was grateful that Rio was back laughing.
Dilla chose to eat in the open. Although the day is a little hot but with the wind can make the air not too hot. After they finished eating, Dilla chose to sit there for a while.
Rio got down from the chair to approach a mother who was near them with a baby. Dilla was just looking and watching over Rio so that he wouldn't go missing.
"Excuse me, ma'am" said one of the waiters.
"Yes, what's wrong?" dilla asked not to understand.
"Sorry Ma'am, because all the tables are full, what can this Mbak sit with Ma'am," asked the service while showing a female guest.
"I don't mind. Please sit down Ma'am," tell Dilla.
The woman immediately sat down because she had already entered several places and was already full.
"Thank you" said the woman.
"Yes Ma'am, equally," said Dilla.
After that, the woman ordered her food.
"Include my name is Nadilla Putri, call me Dilla," said Dilla kindly by introducing herself after the woman ordered the food and the waiter left.
"I'm Lisa Mentari" said Lisa as she welcomed Dilla's hand.
"You came here yourself?" ask Lisa.
"I'm not alone Ma'am, I'm here with my son. That's him playing there," pointed Dilla towards Rio.
Lisa looked in the direction Dilla was heading. Then he looked back at Dilla.
"That's your son?" lisa did not believe it.
"Yes Ma'am, that's my son" replied Dilla.
"I didn't expect you to have one such child. But you still look young like you're twenty" Lisa said in disbelief.
Dilla smiled at Lisa's words.
"You've been using what beauty products so that your face can last like this" added Lisa.
"I didn't use anything and I'm 20 years old" Dilla said.
"I can't, isn't your child about three or four years old," Lisa said.
"He is my son, but he is not my son. He is my son. Even though they are not my real children, I love them like my own," Dilla said with a smile looking at Rio.
Lisa could see how sincere Dilla's affection for Rio was from the look in her eyes.
"I mean they're not one?"
"Yes, she's the youngest. The first one has entered elementary school," said Dilla.
"I didn't expect you to marry a widower and accept his child" Lisa said.
"I was the least likely to expect Mama. All of this has been outlined but I am very grateful for what I have at the moment" said Dilla.
Lisa salutes Dilla's condition now. Very rarely are there parents who can love their own children. Not like….

With small steps Rio approached the mother who was holding a baby. Rio was curious about the baby that was in the mother's sling. Rio looked at the mother and child with a curious look.
"Do you want to see it?" asked the mother looking at Rio's behavior.
Rio immediately nodded his head. The mother lowered her carriage slightly so Rio could see the baby.
"Milip," Rio said spontaneously.
"Of course dong looks like, this is Auntie's son. How pretty is not?"
"Antique and funny," Rio said with sparkling eyes.
"But what's a bica millip?" asked Rio innocently.
The mother laughed at Rio's question.
"Daughter is often similar to her mother and if a boy must be similar to his father. You must look like Papa you are, right," said the mother as she held Rio's cheek.
Rio nodded his head again.
"So jita Liyo unya sister what or milip cama Omy Liyo?" rio asked expectantly.
"Of course your sister will be similar to your Mommy. It'll be as pretty as your Mommy" replied the mother.
Rio who heard it instantly his eyes became sparkling like stars in the sky.
Rio came back closer and held the baby's hand. The baby reflexes grasping Rio's hand. Rio Rio eyes are getting brighter looking at her.
"It seems like Mom's son likes Rio. Does Rio want to be a brother to the mother's child," the mother bargained.
Rio was staring between the mother and the baby.
"Liyo doesn't want to," Rio refused directly.
That mother her heart felt cracked instantly as it was instantly rejected the same raw Rio. The mother could do nothing because the children were telling the truth. He can only stroke the chest.
"Why doesn't Rio want to?" ask the mother curious.
"Liyo ndak. Liyo just wants to be brother to Liyo's sister," Rio replied confidently.
The mother nodded her head, for some reason she was proud of Rio.
"Surely your sister will be happy to have a brother like you" said the mother.
"Sure," Rio replied shortly.
In the heart Rio was blooming imagining if he had a younger sister similar to Dilla who could be invited to play like now. After being satisfied to play with the baby, Rio returned to Dilla.

"Rio," call Dilla.
Rio immediately approached Dilla and Lisa looked at them in surprise. Rio got closer and asked to sit on Dilla's lap. After sitting on Dilla's lap, Rio was staring at a foreign figure to her. Lisa looked at them while continuing her lunch.
"Sir, this is Rio, Mario Suherman" said Dilla.
Lisa stopped eating when she heard the name Rio Suherman. He remembered now, if that name was the name of his nephew.
'Not the son of Mbak Riana his name is also Mario and also equally from the Suherman family.'
"Mario Suherman?" ask Lisa.
"Yes Mbak, let's Rio acquaintance with Lisa's mother," said Dilla
Rio followed Dilla's instructions.
"Liyo, calam tenal" said Rio.
Lisa thought back.
'Is it possible he's my nephew and he's Ryan's wife.'
Lisa was surprised, she did not expect that she could meet Ryan's wife so soon.
"What do you mean he's Ryan Suherman's son and grandson of Rita and Aditya Suherman?" ask Lisa to make sure.
"Yes Ma'am. But why did you know the details?" ask Dilla curiously.
"I've heard of the Suherman family" Lisa told a lie.
'So this is Ryan's wife. It's worth Ryan desperately splitting Dilla. Indeed Dilla could love Rio sincerely. If I hadn't been sitting here, I probably wouldn't have known what Ryan's wife was. Dilla even considered Rio to be her own biological child. Now I can be relieved to see his two nieces having a mother change as well as Dilla. Ma'am Riana now must have been able to calm down as well because there is already someone who takes care of her child well.'
Lisa finally decided to eat again the local delayed earlier. While eating he also looked at Rio's effect on Dilla. Lisa suddenly remembered Ryan's words.
"Rio," call Lisa.
Rio looked towards Lisa.
"Where is more affection between Papa and Mama?" ask Lisa.
"Liyo is more lovable Omy. Liyo kayang Omy banaak-banaak," Rio replied.
"Rio doesn't love Papa?"
"Liyo loves Papa, but ndak banaak," Rio replied.
"If Rio was told to choose between Papa and Mama, who would Rio choose?" ask Lisa at the point.
"Liyo or itut Omy. Tan Liyo dearest Omy," Rio replied.
Rio then kissed Dilla's cheeks at a glance as proof of Rio's affection for Dilla. They resumed the conversation while accompanying Lisa to lunch.
