Like a Guardian Angel
Jonathan's house now looked full of warmth. Jonathan, who had changed, smiled more and tried to be actively involved in his family's life.
Jayden, who used to be indifferent, now began to open his heart to his father's transformation. Agatha patiently continued to support the process of healing their relationships.
Agatha, with great tenderness, helped Layla overcome her fear of Jonathan. Jonathan, feeling regretful for his past behavior, made great efforts to mend his relationship with his granddaughter.
Meanwhile, Cakra, who had not returned from abroad, was unaware of the changes happening in his family. For several days, happiness seemed to return to the Byhantara household.
In the atmosphere of happiness at Jonathan's home, Agatha saw the perfect moment to strengthen the bond between Jonathan and Layla. A sweet scene showed Layla starting to play with Jonathan in the backyard.
Layla happily held hands with Jonathan, and they began to play ball in the backyard. Jonathan enthusiastically shared stories and laughter with Layla.
Agatha smiled as she observed their closeness, feeling that the process of healing relationships in the Byhantara family was deepening.
Several times, Layla and Jonathan laughed together, creating new and beautiful memories. Agatha realized that although this process took time, the results were very valuable.
The once tense and worried atmosphere had now transformed into one filled with love and happiness.
In the backyard, Layla and Jonathan continued to enjoy their time together. They sat on a garden bench surrounded by blooming flowers.
The atmosphere became brighter with Layla's cheerful laughter and Jonathan's warm smile.
"Grandpa! Earlier when we were playing in the garden, I saw a beautiful butterfly. Do you like butterflies?" Layla asked cheerfully.
Jonathan smiled. "Of course, Layla. Butterflies are indeed beautiful. They are like living paintings in this garden. Do you like animals?"
"Yes! I love animals. And now in my apartment, I have a cat named Whiskers. Do you like cats?"
Jonathan looked thoughtful. "I have never had a cat as a pet, but it seems that cats are enjoyable. What about Whiskers? Does he like to play?"
Layla laughed softly. "Yes, Whiskers really loves to play! He also likes to sleep under the tree in the yard. Do you also like the flowers in this garden?"
"Very much. These flowers have their own beauty. Which one do you like?"
Layla thought for a moment. "I like red roses. Roses are like symbols of love, right?"
Jonathan nodded. "That's right, Layla. Roses are often considered symbols of love. Besides, what is your favorite color?"
"Hmm? I like blue! It's the color of the sky, so beautiful!"
While they were engrossed in their conversation, Kinara also sat nearby, witnessing that moment of happiness.
Agatha smiled happily, watching Jonathan, who was so different now, warm with Layla and Kinara in the backyard, which seemed to be a witness to the change in the Byhantara family.
They played joyfully, creating new and cheerful memories in the midst of the colorful and warm garden. At one point, Layla noticed a small flower growing on the side of the garden.
"Grandpa! Look at this flower! It's cute, right? It's yellow." said Layla.
Jonathan nodded with a smile. "Yes, that's right. The flower is like you, Layla. Cheerful and colorful."
Layla smiled shyly. "Thank you, Grandpa. You have also changed for the better now. I'm glad we can play together."
"Me too, Layla. Your presence makes this home warmer."
Kinara smiled and turned to Agatha. "Truly, this is thanks to Agatha, everything has become better. Thank you, Agatha."
"You're welcome, Aunt. I'm just glad to help." Agatha gave a sincere smile.
As they continued to chat, Agatha decided to serve refreshing drinks as a conclusion to this moment of togetherness.
The four of them sat on the backyard garden bench, enjoying their drinks and sharing stories. The garden ambiance became more familiar, radiating happiness and peace.
Not far from there, Jayden, who had just returned from the office, saw the beautiful sight. He smiled at the positive change in the Byhantara family. With light steps, Jayden approached them.
"What did I miss here? It seems so cheerful," he remarked.
Layla looked at her father with a radiant smile. "Dad! Grandpa has changed for the better, and we are all happy now."
Jayden smiled softly, never expecting happiness to finally come. "Wow, that's great news. I'm happy to see you all happy. Thank you, Agatha. This is thanks to you."
"It's all thanks to our joint efforts, Jayden," Agatha replied humbly with a sincere smile. She then shifted her seat slightly. "Come join us."
Jayden sat in the midst of them, complementing the warmth of the Byhantara family that now felt more tangible. In the garden illuminated by the twilight, they continued their moments of togetherness with laughter, stories, and priceless happiness.
Layla, who was initially awkward, now seemed closer to Jonathan, while Kinara was grateful to see the positive change in her family.
Agatha watched them with a smile, feeling satisfied seeing this family growing closer and full of love. There was no replacing the happiness they felt at that moment.
Days passed, and the Byhantara family became more solid. Jonathan, with a renewed determination, continued to strive to be a better grandfather.
Amidst the happiness, Agatha reflected. Although she was not an official part of the family, her presence had made a significant impact on their lives.
She felt content to be a bridge for unity and helping to mend almost severed relationships.

Jonathan, after recovering, decided to work hard and delve deeper into Agatha's background. In his search, he increasingly realized how extraordinary Agatha was.
Her intelligence, her ability to manage a company, and her maternal demeanor that melted Layla's heart made Jonathan more convinced that Agatha was a perfect match for Jayden. Jonathan began to feel that Agatha's presence could continue to bring happiness to his family.
Jonathan looked at photos or Agatha's profile online, making him smile to himself. In his heart, he began to imagine how his life with Agatha would be and felt the warmth of a family that he had longed for.
"Agatha is truly amazing. Her presence is like a guardian angel for the Byhantara family. Her intelligence, gentleness, and ability to face challenges make her so special."
"Her nature also embraces Layla well. I can see how much Layla really likes her. Agatha truly brings warmth and happiness to my family. Just as I have been looking for all this time."
"Perhaps, this is also a sign. Agatha's presence somehow reminds me of my late wife. A warmth and love that I miss."
Jonathan became more convinced that Agatha was an essential part of rebuilding happiness in his family.
Jonathan paused his work for a moment and spoke to himself, "It seems I was wrong. I used to think you were not suitable for Jayden, but it turns out you are very compatible with him. I even think no other woman could be Jayden's partner other than you, Agatha."
