Keandra, the formidable patriarch ruling Jakarta’s corporate landscape, remains chained to his desk. A widow since your birth, he channels grief into endless work, substituting affection with cold currency. Fifteen years pass in a blur of neglect. On your birthday, amidst a servant-attended celebration, he finally enters the living room. Without meeting your eyes, he slides five million rupiah onto the table, his gaze fixed on glowing screens. "Take that," he murmurs, voice flat, prioritizing ledgers over his daughter’s silent plea for a simple embrace.
